Chapter 43 Megastructure Construction
The news that "there really are aliens in this world" spread throughout the planet.
After the Star Eater was eliminated, the mysterious alien fleet departed.
And it didn't take long for a group of aliens calling themselves the "Tinder Alliance" to arrive on the planet.
They have provided some help to the people here to speed up the rebuilding of the planet, and they have also told them some basic information about this interstellar area.
After giving away a technology called the "Hyperspace Engine", the Tinder Alliance also left the place.
And the planet is gradually recovering from the apocalypse, and a "special atmosphere" envelops everyone here.
They felt that instead of fighting for life and death in this small land, it was better to see the broader "heaven".
The impact of aliens is indeed too violent, but it also makes the cohesion here more than ever.
Since then, "planetary unity" may no longer be just a theory, and one day they will be able to touch this starry sky.
Digg hurried on his way to college, and as a gift, he easily skipped the rest of his high school classes and was accepted to a prestigious university.
Now he is very busy every day, even if there is no "system" reminder, he is trying his best to become the "chief scientist".
“…… Why are you so motivated all of a sudden? Is the end of the world affecting you? Before leaving, his childhood sweetheart asked him curiously about it, not understanding why this young genius, who had always behaved very lazy, suddenly changed his appearance.
And Digg also smiled and said the reason: "The starry sky is so beautiful, if you can't see it for yourself before this body decays, wouldn't it be a regret?" Since those aliens give hope, then I am willing to give it a try, maybe just a scientist like me? ”
The childhood sweetheart was a little noncommittal, obviously not believing his words.
But Digg didn't care, for his part, he would be determined to follow this path until civilization flew away from the planet.
……
Li Wenyuan, who was done, also evacuated the fleet from the Botu system, and at the same time felt a little happy in his heart.
Not only did he eliminate a threat and demonstrate the strength of the Lost Empire, but he also harvested two new technologies from the remains of those Star Eaters.
【Star Eater Matter Synthesis】
[Technology Level: 5]
[Introduction: Research into the remains of the Star Eater has shown that this substance is beneficial for the burning of stars.] We can artificially synthesize similar components and put them into the stars to extend the lifespan of the stars.]
[Possible Technology: None]
And:
【Star Eater's Egg Sheath Reuse】
[Technology Level: 5]
[Introduction: Through the recovered Star Eater egg sheath, maybe we can domesticate a group of miniature Star Eaters to cause great damage to a star without being noticed]
[Possible Technology: None]
Both of these technologies exist separately on the tech tree, and may not seem much use at first glance, but Li Wenyuan thinks that they may be needed one day in the future.
In addition, he is very happy about another thing, that is, the technology of the "Giant Construction Project" has been developed.
After a little thought, he chose the next research direction on "Founder Research".
Among the other six-level technologies, he didn't have any technology he particularly needed for the time being, so he chose a technology to study based on his interest.
And the seventh-level technology, which has increased exponentially in difficulty, is not something he can study now.
Just like the "Miracle of the Galaxy", although Li Wenyuan is very greedy for the various stronger megastructures it unlocks, it has been researched as a seventh-level technology for as long as five hundred years.
Obviously, his research ability does not meet the requirements of level 7 technology, and it is better to spend these 500 years hard research on level 7 technology than to complete as many level 6 science and technology research as possible.
After the completion of the research and development of the "Megastructure Construction Project", he also produced many more drawings of the megastructure that could be built.
Eventually, he set his sights on two megastructures.
……
Once again, the deserted Carol system has its controller.
There is an abandoned but slightly restored Sentinel Array, and Li Wenyuan has decided to build a megastructure in this system.
The star base here has been upgraded by him in advance, and various defensive weapons are equipped on it, as if it has become an immovable space fortress.
A large number of engineering ships began to get busy here, and various transport ships transporting construction materials were constantly traveling to and from the system.
Two megastructures that rival the Sentinel Array are taking shape in the galaxy.
One of them is a huge benefit for the speed of scientific research, and the other can significantly increase the productivity of the ship.
They are the "Science Hub" and the "Giant Dockyard".
The Science Hub is a megastructure that can significantly provide research gains, and its components can function independently during the construction process, and do not need to be fully built to enjoy the benefits it brings to research.
The only drawback for Li Wenyuan is that if a large number of scientific researchers can settle in it, its research benefits will be even higher.
But Li Wenyuan does not have so many scientific researchers, so he can only use the automation function for the time being.
And the giant dockyard was built to increase his military power.
Li Wenyuan's second unmanned fleet is already in full swing, but he is still not satisfied with this kind of production efficiency, which is already very outrageous in the eyes of other civilizations, and he feels that he can only feel a little safe by holding at least seven or eight fleets.
Then a giant dock capable of producing twenty or thirty warships at the same time is very necessary.
In this way, even if he falls into a war, he will be able to replenish his troops continuously.
In this way, the dormant "guardian" began his path of "spectacle".
And no one in the galaxy noticed this, because now they were attracted to another big thing.
“…… Someone colonized the Holy Land of the Watchmen?! Brenin, who was far away in the thirteenth trade enclave, almost tumbled out of his chair when he heard the news.
This is really a big deal, because it basically means that the "watchmen" are going to do it.
As one of the five lost empires of the galaxy, the Watchmen also adhere to the usual style, basically indifferent to the outside world.
Although it is said that the idealistic civilization is under the protection of the "watchman", in fact, the war between the materialistic civilization and the idealistic civilization does not attract their attention.
They only seem to interfere in the war between idealists.
But after countless bloody and tearful explorations of galactic civilizations, they understand that the "Watchmen" still have a bottom line that cannot be touched.
That's their holy place.
At this time, near the territory of the "Watchman", an interstellar civilization that had just ascended into space was still curious about everything around it.
They have just found a very habitable planet and decided to make it the first colony of civilization.
Countless colonists with dreams of the sea of stars have come here, but they don't know that they are about to be in trouble.
