Chapter 24

Ten years was extremely short on the scale of the universe, and it was just a blink of an eye for the civilized.

No one would have thought that in the past ten years, a terrifying civilization was being born in a small galaxy at the edge of the Milky Way.

….

“From the current damage, we need at least 20 cannon fodders to explore this ruin.”

“Why do you need so many? Although the Administrator didn’t restrict us from using it, we can’t just squander his resources. We have to lower this number to a single digit.”

“In that case, we can only compete with our skills… Do you still have any more of that spirit-strengthening drug you got last time?”

“That thing was a sample developed by the Administrator. I begged him for it, and I have just those two.”

“What a pity. I want to experience that Superman-like feeling again… Forget it, do you want to bet? I’ll enter the depths of the ruins before you, and my losses will be smaller than yours!”

“Ha! Does a young man like you want to compete with an old man like me? Normally, I’d have to think twice, but now that I’ve synchronized my consciousness with the synthetic humanoid, I don’t know who will win!”

At the entrance of a ruin, two aliens were making a bet.

They were Cooper and the professor, who had been living here for nearly 10 years. In the past 10 years, they had indeed excavated a lot of ruins, but they only accounted for 15% of the planet.

Even so, this 15% still brought Li Wenyuan many unimaginable benefits.

Today was the day they launched the Zone O12 excavation project in the past ten years, excavating ruins had become a part of their lives.

From the cautious attitude at the beginning, he gradually let go of his hands and feet and then indulged in the experience.

They gradually became happy and never tired, and wished they came earlier.

“Then let’s get ready to start. After the ten-second countdown, we’ll go in together.” Cooper was the first to put on a helmet-like device, his eyes showing his eagerness.

The professor didn’t say much and put on the same equipment.

A few seconds later, the two synthetic humanoids suddenly raised their heads. The artificial eye that should have been lifeless flashed with a human-like light.

This was the consciousness synchronization device that Li Wenyuan had developed for them. It could synchronize the consciousness signal of an organism to the synthetic humanoids, allowing the organism to control them almost perfectly.

The alien archeologists loved the synthetic humanoids after trying them out. They were fascinated by the power of synthetic humanoids.

In addition, exploring these dangerous ruins in the form of synthetic humanoids also gave them a huge sense of excitement.

The strange phenomena and dangers that could only be seen in movies and novels could now be experienced by them.

Overcoming all kinds of difficulties, discovering the hidden truth, and the surprise brought by the treasure, was also spice to the spirit.

The old professor had also explored a lot of extraterrestrial ruins, but he now felt that the first half of his life was a waste of time. He wished he came here sooner.

The ruins that he had carefully explored with the drone were nothing to him now. It was not as exciting as the first-person exploration after he transformed into a synthetic human.

The two synthetic humanoids looked at each other and disappeared into the ruins.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the earth, in the huge administration core, Li Wenyuan was thinking about something.

A series of data was neatly arranged in front of him, which was the result of his ten years of operation.

[ Planetary facility repair completion: Level 4 singular point in Zone A91-A95, Zone C2-C6 dimensions creation device, Zone R1 robot assembly factory, Zone R10 Research Center, Zone R25 planetary support control center… ]

[ Space facility repair completion: Space Station Qingtian, wide-area signal obstruction station, superlight speed suppressor ]

[ Unmanned fleet size: Tiangang Battleship x1, Titan Battleship x1, battlecruisers x25, Battleship x10, frigate x200 ]

[ Administration matrix repair completion: 45% ]

…

In addition to this data, some results were yet to be shown.

For example, in terms of technology, Li Wenyuan studied almost all the Level 5 technologies, and he also successfully researched a small number of Level 6 technologies. Thanks to these technologies, he also created a lot of good things.

“I have almost reached a bottleneck. Most Level 6 technologies would take more than ten years to develop, not to mention the more advanced technologies that would take hundreds or even thousands of years… Is it because the computing power of the scientific research zone is not enough?”

He looked at the fully operational scientific research zone and felt a little helpless.

The difficulty of these technologies had increased exponentially. At first, the scientific research zone could easily cope with it, but now, it was a bit outdated.

“I have to find a way to improve my scientific research ability… Should we go to other planets to build more scientific research districts, or should we build a planet-sized research facility?

“But no matter what, I have to head into interstellar space again. The solar system is our home, so it can’t be too crowded. There is no way to build everything here. I have to go to other galaxies to develop…

“So, do I have the right to stand on the interstellar space stage now?”

Li Wenyuan’s eyes flickered as he looked at the distant starry sky.

There, a fleet was floating in the void.

His ten years of production had been used to build this fleet. He had never felt a sense of security, so he urgently needed this space defense power to eliminate any possible invaders.

After repairing the Space Station Qingtian that had fallen toward the star, he found many battleship construction drawings.

From a frigate that was less than a thousand meters long to a Titan Battleship that was close to a hundred kilometers long, everything was available on the ship.

He also referred to the blueprint and built his first space fleet.

“I should go to Craybow to take a look. This time, I should be able to make an accurate assessment of the strength of the current interstellar civilization. If it’s within an acceptable range, then we can expand. Otherwise, many things can’t be realized in the solar system…”

Following his thoughts, a group of synthetic humanoids from the space station entered one of the research spaceships.

He didn’t plan to buy a lot of things. In that case, a research spaceship with all kinds of functions would be the best choice for exploring the universe.

A few frigates separated from the fleet and escorted the research spaceship to the edge of the galaxy.

After leaving the range of the sun’s gravity well, they would activate the hyperspace engine and set off for the Craybow Trade Enclave that they had been to once.

Lilian, who was in the midst of her daily prayers, seemed to have sensed something and lifted her head.

Her human appearance hadn’t changed much in the past ten years, which had once surprised Li Wenyuan.

After Li Wenyuan took a strand of her hair for testing, he discovered that her cells aged extremely slowly and regenerated at a terrifying speed. This meant that she wouldn’t have any obvious changes in appearance for at least 500 years.

After some inquiry, he learned that Lilian’s race was born like this. There were even people of her race who had lived for more than 2000 years.

Since then, Li Wenyuan had become more and more curious about her race and wanted to go to her mother planet to find out more.

“I hope I can get some useful information from this trip. Otherwise, I’ll be bored to death if I stay on earth…
