Chapter 119 "Dawn of the Omnics"
Li Wenyuan felt that his development speed was actually quite fast, at least compared with the current galactic civilization, it was even faster than the hyperspace engine.
I think that when he first came to this universe, he was poor and empty, without even a spaceship. The first time he went to the sky, he used a pirate spaceship he had stolen.
But with the exploration and discovery, those broken production buildings were gradually repaired, and human giants without owners were also found and put into supervision.
His productivity is increasing geometrically, even within a hundred years, he is already much stronger than all civilizations in this galaxy.
At first he thought this situation was not bad, but with the discovery of the "fishbowl" planet and the further revelation of human secrets, he realized that the universe might not be as normal as it seemed.
Now he can't even fully inherit the inheritance of mankind, let alone reach the level of human beings.
For this reason, he still can't stop.
"...In any case, giant structures still have to be counted on. In order to improve scientific research capabilities, I need ring worlds with huge scientific research output. It is best to have more. Building ring worlds requires a lot of alloys, and alloys need Plenty of minerals and energy…”
"...Even with the addition of two lost empires, it's a bit stretched..."
Although he is lamenting that his output is not enough, if this is heard by other civilizations in the galaxy, it will definitely be another "Versailles".
Take the "Observer" as an example. He has not experienced any wars or suffered any crises. Logically speaking, he should be the most powerful of the original lost empires of the galaxy.
But if they want to build a ring world right away, they can't come up with so many resources for the time being.
After all, this megastructure needs the most resources, and the utility it brings is also the best one.
In fact, Li Wenyuan has already selected a good location to start building the ring world. The moment he discovered the "matter decompressor", he had already started his first "Galaxy Miracle" project.
There are a lot of preparatory work for the construction of the ring world, including the detection of the stability of the stars, the calculation of the construction position of the ring world, and the dismantling of individual planets in the galaxy.
These are all things that take a lot of time, not to mention that this is just preparatory work, and the construction of the ring world has not yet started.
Even if Li Wenyuan's current construction efficiency is very efficient, it is still impossible to complete this kind of super project in a short period of time. Basically, it needs to be progressed in units of years.
In addition to praying to find more unowned megastructures, he can only start multiple megastructure projects at the same time, and build as many megastructures as possible while his own production capacity can keep up.
In this process, the ring world is naturally not the only megastructure option, and megastructures that increase the output of other resources have also been put on the agenda.
Needless to say, the material decompressor that can provide mineral raw materials, the one he currently owns is enough for his mineral consumption.
Even though there may be more minerals needed in the future, he needs to use the alloy on other giant structures first.
After the completion of the seventh-level scientific and technological research of "Miracle of the Galaxy", he has a lot of new megastructure options, and he has already planned it.
【Dyson Ball】
【Introduction: This is a power generation megastructure that fully utilizes the energy of stars. Although Dyson Cloud is more cost-effective in terms of cost, what we need is not "cost-effective", but extremely high and huge output. To this end, we want to let the stars "under control"]
Dyson sphere, this is a basic giant structure that can provide a huge amount of energy.
The essence of its work is to use airtight "solar power panels" to cover the stars and absorb all the energy radiated outward. This is a kind of interstellar building that has been conjectured on the earth in previous lives.
It is true that this thing was evaluated as "a thankless effort" at the time, but in the interstellar universe, this is not a difficult task.
Its real difficulty lies in the utilization rate and preservation method of this piece of energy, but this technology is almost a basic technology in the interstellar civilization.
If you want to have a voice in the galaxy, a high-energy capacitor that can hold huge energy is a must-have facility, because the transaction currency of this galaxy is "energy".
As for the Dyson sphere, these civilizations may not take the initiative to build such a "thankless" face project, but if an unowned Dyson sphere is discovered, do you think they will even use their brains?
Li Wenyuan's megastructure plan also requires a lot of energy, so the "Dyson sphere" came into his eyes and successfully became one of the foundations of the plan.
In addition, another megastructure has also become one of his goals:
【Zero Element Furnace】
【Introduction: The extraction of "zero elements" is already an important link in Interstellar. We have managed to use most celestial objects, and neutron stars will be no exception. Its dense matter can serve as armor protection for battleships, but that's only one way of using it. If it is not for military considerations, but just for production capacity, then why can't such a powerful substance be used as a building material? It is much easier to use than ordinary alloys]
【Special Note: Can’t find a neutron star? That's okay, the companion "star supercharger" allows us to manually compress a star into a neutron star. Even though the neutron star formed in this way is not perfect, it is still a good source of zero matter]
This is a giant structure that can only be built on neutron stars, and it can extract and utilize the dense matter of those neutron stars.
Now that a large amount of alloys are needed, this kind of megastructure can be regarded as an efficient source of alloys.
Like the “Dyson Sphere” and the “Material Decompressor”, this is a giant structure responsible for providing “raw material output”.
There happens to be a neutron star in his territory, so the construction process of this giant building has already begun.
Now that the ring world is his main source of scientific research output, Li Wenyuan is imagining whether there is a more powerful super megastructure similar to the "stellar computer".
The current "Galaxy Miracle" does not provide such a possibility, and the scientific research output provided by the previous "Science Hub" megastructure does not satisfy him.
He can only hope that the eighth-level "four-dimensional engineering" and "subspace engineering" can bring him such a "super giant structure".
"...During the development gap, in addition to continuing to search for human information, it is also time to invest those 'sub-centers' into the interstellar society..."
After deciphering the ruins during this period, Li Wenyuan discovered that human beings have a special liking for "making the galaxy lively", and almost all the ruins are left for the "birth of civilization".
So far, his two sub-centers "Paradise Servant" and "Assimilation Fighter" have formed a large number of sub-individuals under the efficient self-replication means of the mechanical body, which seems to be enough to become a "civilization".
He thinks that by imitating what humans have done, it may be possible to understand some unexpected information.
And as the "Mechanical Lost Empire", it is normal for him to have several omnic-affiliated civilizations, right?
After selecting a few suitable habitable planets around the border, the "Paradise Servant" and "Assimilation Fighter" officially entered the galaxy stage.
