Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 682: Star-Class Warship

Xiao Yu had not expected that after arriving at the Tarantula Nebula, the breakthrough would occur in the research on allowing the Specter Race to control the Micron Civilization’s corpse without loss. This breakthrough greatly boosted Xiao Yu’s morale.

Xiao Yu quickly poured his computational power into the follow-up study of this energy. In the subsequent research, Xiao Yu discovered that this energy would only be released deep inside extreme stars due to some reaction process he had not yet understood. Xiao Yu was certain that this reaction process must involve one of the deepest secrets hidden in the universe, the secret of life.

For Xiao Yu at present, there was no rush to fully understand the reaction mechanism. He could completely study it slowly over the long time to come. The most urgent task was to use this reaction process to generate special energy of sufficient intensity to help the Specter companion replenish the life force it had lost.

This research was not very difficult for Xiao Yu. He planned to use the stars stored in the small universe as energy sources, then build large-scale special energy generators to combine the energy of dozens of stars, ultimately producing special energy of sufficient intensity for the Specter companion to use.

After the subsequent research reached a stopping point and the feasibility of construction was confirmed, Xiao Yu once again began large-scale construction within the small universe. The energy of dozens of stars was collected by devices that Xiao Yu had manufactured and converted into this special energy. Now it was time to put these devices to their first true use.

Before this, the Specter companion first maneuvered the Micron’s corpse to wander in space for a period of time. When its life force intensity had decreased by about one percent, Xiao Yu guided it to leave the Micron’s corpse and come under the coverage of the devices he had built. Then Xiao Yu flipped the master switch of those devices.

At once, the energy of dozens of stars began to converge here. After a series of special conversions, it finally gathered upon the Specter companion.

“Specter, how do you feel now?” Xiao Yu asked.

“Mm, a very wonderful feeling, as if I were soaking in a hot spring. Very good. I feel that the life force I lost is gradually being restored. Yes, I feel I have returned to my peak. Alright, you can stop.”

Xiao Yu shut down the devices and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

“From this moment on, you can control the Micron’s corpse without limitation.” Xiao Yu said. “Then we wait, and when we return to the Milky Way Galaxy, we will use the Micron’s corpse to crush the Guardian Civilization.”

“Very good, very good.” The Specter companion sent a message full of delight. “With the Micron’s corpse, we now have the capital to confront the Sweepers Civilization.”

“Yes. Then my research focus now will be placed on conventional technology. When we build our own Star-Class warship, we will return to the Milky Way Galaxy.” 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Research on allowing the Specter Race to control the Micron’s corpse without loss had concluded. A large number of researchers and a vast portion of Xiao Yu’s computational power withdrew from this area and were reassigned into other research fronts. This brought a very obvious boost to other research projects. After one year, the study of micro-particle aggregated material achieved a breakthrough.

“Now we can produce this material in trace amounts in the laboratory. One can say that the most basic and most critical layer has been broken through. Next, we must improve production processes and increase production efficiency. Yes, from now on, begin the model construction of the Star-Class warship.”

At the scientists’ assembly, Xiao Yu announced thus. With a breakthrough in materials engineering, the most critical obstacle to building a Star-Class warship had vanished. Of course, building a Star-Class warship did not involve only this one barrier. A Star-Class warship is fundamentally different from a Planet-Class warship. A Star-Class warship should, as a matter of course, is equipped with much more powerful weapon systems. The defensive system also had to be comprehensively updated, and there were issues Xiao Yu had to solve concerning the propulsion system, curvature flight system, detection system, and spacecraft structure.

In response to these problems, under Xiao Yu’s command, tens of thousands of specialized scientific task groups had already been established within the Divine Ark Civilization. It could be said that the entire scientific research strength of the Divine Ark Civilization was tilting in this direction.

After acquiring sufficient research data, Xiao Yu maneuvered his fleet away from the Tarantula Nebula. The environment here was too harsh. In certain respects, it was even harsher than the Galactic Center. Xiao Yu had no need to remain here for long. Thus the vast fleet, once again, saw Xiao Yu launch material stockpiling operations.

One star after another, one planet after another, were transported by Xiao Yu into the small universe. These stars and planets would provide ample power and resources for Xiao Yu. The massive construction effort commenced once more. The construction of a supermassive dock capable of building a Star-Class warship had already been put on the agenda. Xiao Yu was preparing. More than ten million scientists and tens of thousands of research groups were also preparing. The entire Divine Ark Civilization was preparing to welcome the rise of its first Star-Class warship.

Three hundred years later, the technical foundation for building a Star-Class warship had matured. The supermassive dock began construction. The model and blueprints of the Star-Class warship were completed. The Central Research Academy of Science was conducting digital simulations of the Star-Class warship, attempting to find defects in the structural model, while each research group carried out final reliability tests on its respective research topics.

Building the supermassive dock cost Xiao Yu two hundred years. Two hundred years later, the first component of the Star-Class warship was manufactured by Xiao Yu. The birth of this first component marked the official start of the Star-Class warship’s construction.

Tens of thousands of materials bases across hundreds of planets provided ample material support for the Star-Class warship. Hundreds of thousands of large transport ships undertook transport tasks between the materials bases and the dock. Three hundred billion robots and various other machinery served as the hands that built the Star-Class warship. Millions of processing plants, foundries, and the like built on the supermassive dock operated at full tilt. Within the small universe, the largest construction project ever formally began.

One thousand years later, the primary structure of the first Star-Class warship was completed, and its general outline had emerged. At the same time, the weapons systems research achieved a major breakthrough. A space shattering weapon that could be deployed by a single ship was successfully developed. Xiao Yu thus began the construction of the weapons systems.

Building a Star-Class ship was no simple matter. It was too large and its mass was too great. The Star-Class ship that Xiao Yu was building had a roughly spherical exterior with a diameter of two thousand kilometers. In an empty-load state after completion, its mass could reach several hundred billion tons. When fully loaded, this mass would increase a hundredfold. Such a colossal object no longer resembled a spaceship, but rather a planet.

Therefore, even with Xiao Yu’s construction capability, one thousand years had only sufficed to complete the overall structure of the Star-Class ship. If it had been an ordinary Level 6 Civilization, even the Guardian Civilization, Xiao Yu had every reason to believe that without five thousand years, the Guardian Civilization could not have reached his current construction progress.

Only after Xiao Yu personally set about building a Star-Class ship did he understand the meaning of that statement. That was when the half four-dimensional Taihao and many civilizations across the entire Milky Way Galaxy jointly besieged the Neutron War Star, and after the Guardian Civilization’s flagship the Radiance was damaged, the half four-dimensional Taihao told Xiao Yu the following words.

“The Radiance has been severely damaged and will require at least tens of thousands of years to be completely repaired.”

At the time Xiao Yu was very puzzled. It was only a spaceship. How could it take tens of thousands of years to repair. Only now did he understand that for a Level 6 technological civilization, such a thing was indeed possible.

Just erecting the overall structure had cost Xiao Yu one thousand years. To fully build this Star-Class warship, without three thousand years, it was out of the question.

After the busiest construction tasks had passed, Xiao Yu began building a second supermassive dock. He planned to build two Star-Class warships, one as his residential spaceship and the other as a combat spaceship. Of course, if necessary, the residential Star-Class ship could also serve as a combat ship, but Xiao Yu was unwilling to do so out of fear of unforeseen accidents.

Constructing the weapons systems consumed three hundred years. Before the weapons systems were built, the propulsion system and energy transmission lines had already been erected. What was now underway was the construction of the defensive system.

In the quiet Large Magellanic Galaxy, time passed bit by bit. From the moment Xiao Yu began the construction of the Star-Class warship until now, three thousand five hundred years had elapsed. On this very day, the first Star-Class warship was finally completed.

After moving into the light computer manufactured with the latest technology, Xiao Yu was in extremely high spirits.

“At last I have a Star-Class warship. At last I have stepped into the pinnacle of a Level 6 Civilization. It is time to return to the Milky Way Galaxy. Yes, the second Star-Class warship still needs about one thousand years to be completed. Essentially, it will be completed before I return to the Milky Way Galaxy. Then it is time to set off home.”

“Civilizations of the Large Magellanic Galaxy, this is the Divine Ark Civilization. I have completed my mission and am preparing to return to the Milky Way Galaxy. I hope you can continue to uphold your path of peaceful development here. In the future, perhaps I will come again.”
