Just this technological knowledge is enough to elevate the Blue Star Civilization to a level 1.4 civilization!
And once the acquired resources arrive, it won’t take long for the Blue Star Civilization to break through to level 1.5!
Every department is learning and digesting this knowledge. For the commanders, scientists, and interstellar architects of the Blue Star Civilization, they truly feel their own lack of knowledge!
This entirely new information is transforming everyone!
Particularly the commanders, who have begun learning the strategies of space warfare and taking turns entering the Civilization Arena to practice war command!
The armory, however, skipped directly to the research and development of level 4 space battleships, bypassing level 3 entirely.
A year later, outside Blue Star, a huge insecthole opened.
A large amount of resources appeared from the insecthole, floating in space.
In the subspace communicator, Tuanzi reminded He Xingzhou: "The resources you won in the Civilization Arena have arrived, please sign for them promptly."
"They’re here, our resources are here!" He Xingzhou exclaimed with joy, "Fleet, go check the resources immediately, remember, inspect everything!"
"Received!" Chen Hong led his team to receive the resources.
Upon seeing these resources, the members of the space battleship were overwhelmingly thrilled.
"One million tons of nuclear fusion material, enough to in several space wars!"
"And another million tons of space metal, with this, there’s a guarantee to build a fleet and construct the Super Star Ring!"
Each battleship only needs to use this space metal for key components, not the entire hull.
"This is too much, it’s exhilarating!" They happily dragged these resources to the Space Port for inspection and distribution.
At the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters, He Xingzhou held a commanders’ meeting.
"This time, we have gained many spoils of war, but at the same time, we have thoroughly offended the Maoshi Star Union," He Xingzhou said, "So, we must accelerate the expansion of our military strength."
"The design of the Super Star Ring has been completely finished, and construction starts today."
"Furthermore, within three years, build a main fleet called ’Golden Crow.’ With this main fleet, wipe out the Venus and Mercury Zerg, and completely control the four planets of Mercury, Venus, Blue Star, and Mars in our hands!"
"Yes!" the commanders responded in unison.
Three years later, at the Tower Research Institute, Biological Laboratory.
He Xingzhou had just undergone the second genetic modification, and the process was very simple, like getting a vaccination.
The Biological Laboratory used research on the Zerg gene virus to develop a targeted gene mutation agent.
This mutation agent could alter human genes, allowing cells to continually renew, have stronger vitality, and enable people to adapt to certain hypergravity and zero-gravity environments.
The second-generation gene-modified interstellar humans, after such modification, wouldn’t suffer from various diseases and developmental issues even if living in space stations, on the Moon, or on Mars.
Simultaneously, human lifespan would be extended once again, ideally reaching up to a thousand years!
"The modification is complete, and the next year will be the observation period," Jiang Chan put down He Xingzhou’s arm and said, "Brother Zhou, if you feel unwell during this time, let me know immediately."
After these years of growth, Jiang Chan has become a significant figure in the Biological Academy, consistently at the forefront of biological technology research.
"Hmm, I’m feeling quite well now," He Xingzhou said.
Jiang Chan chuckled lightly: "Genetic modification is a gradual process, exercise can help the body adapt better. Besides regular environmental training, zero-gravity and hypergravity training are also necessary."
"I do that quite often!" He Xingzhou thought about how he and Xu Zhilan were doing zero-gravity training in space warfare yesterday.
"By the way, how’s the investigation on the Venus Zerg going?" He Xingzhou asked.
Two months ago, a reconnaissance ship attempted to capture a Planet Giant Beast from space outside Venus and send it to the Tower Research Institute.
Jiang Chan said: "The Venus Zerg is somewhat different from the Mars Zerg."
"They are more adapted to high temperature and high-pressure environments, and in terms of biological weapons, they can release more toxins, acids, and nuclear energy rays."
"Their defense against thermal weapons is stronger, predicting their evolution level is higher than that of the Mars Zerg."
"In short, their life force is more tenacious than the Mars Zerg, and the average energy density contained in their biological nuclear energy organs is higher. At equal strength, they are more than 1.3 times that of the Mars Zerg."
"Their plasma protection layer is thicker, making it difficult for ordinary laser weapons and plasma weapons to penetrate."
"That’s a bit troublesome," He Xingzhou pondered, "It’s odd that despite Venus being so close to our Blue Star, they haven’t sent Zerg to harass or attack us!"
"Maybe they’re preparing too," Jiang Chan speculated.
"We can’t wait." He Xingzhou stood up and said, "I suspect these guys might be secretly nurturing a Planet Devourer on Venus, we must strike first!"
"You’ve just undergone genetic modification..." Jiang Chan reminded.
"It’s fine, it’s not like decades ago!" He Xingzhou said, "Have Academician Zhuge send the information on the Mars Zerg to the Military Science Academy immediately and have them research targeted weapons."
He Xingzhou himself went to the Mars Warship Factory to inspect the production status of the main battleships.
Mars, in the fourth year after its reclamation, has been under construction for four years as well.
The super dust storm originally created by He Xingzhou on Mars has long subsided under the interference of the weather weapon used by He Xingzhou.
And the Zerg’s transformation of Mars has brought about the emergence of oases on Mars.
The oxygen content on Mars is increasing, but this planet cannot become like Blue Star.
This is because Mars’s core activity has been weakening for billions of years, and only with an active core can a sufficient planetary magnetic field be built to constrain the atmosphere.
The atmosphere of Blue Star is constrained by the geomagnetic field, while on Mars, the insufficient geomagnetic constraint causes the atmosphere to be constantly swept by solar winds, resulting in continuous atmospheric loss.
Designers of Mars’s transformation proposed several solutions, one of which is to artificially create an atmosphere, allowing it to increase at a rate matching its loss.
This would only be a temporary solution, with huge resource consumption.
Another proposal was to drop millions of super hydrogen bombs into Mars’s core to reactivate its internal energy.
This proposal was also rejected, as it would consume enormous resources as well. Even if successful, it would turn Mars back into a chaotic planet with earthquakes and lava eruptions everywhere, unsuitable for planetary construction.
So at present, the approach taken is to build large glass domes.
While protecting the atmosphere, they can adjust internal temperature and lighting to provide humans with a stable living environment.
As for other areas, either robotic operations are used or special Mars mecha suits are worn for work.
He Xingzhou visited the Mars Warship Factory.
Its location is at the former Olympus Super Volcano crater, its interior is a transformation of the Volcanic Insect Nest!
What the Noah Insect King left behind is considerable; compared to other Zerg, it preferred mechanical technology, previously building spacecraft to come to Mars was also its work.
The Insect Nest itself can defend against attacks, and inside, various functional partitions are designed, after being occupied by the Blue Star Alliance, it was directly transformed into a space battleship factory!
He Xingzhou landed in the super volcano crater wearing a new generation Mars armor, with the searing temperature blocked by the heat insulation layer.
Inside the volcano, magma was still active.
This has no effect on them, even a volcano eruption wouldn’t affect the battleship factory.
"General Commander," Xie Wu, the head of the Mars Space Battleship Factory, came to greet He Xingzhou.
He was once one of the designers of the Xuanwu Base, and after the Mars transformation plan was proposed, he proactively applied to come to Mars, becoming the chief engineer and leader of the Mars Space Battleship Factory.
