"Master, through analyzing the Molian Civilization's related computer technologies, we have developed a new idea. If this idea can be realized, then under the same conditions, our new generation of computers will possess at least three times the computational power of the previous models."

"Oh? Tell me more." Xiao Yu asked with great interest.

At this moment, under Xiao Yu's direction, a plenary meeting was underway in the Computer Science Research Institute at the moon base. The topic of the meeting was the development of the new computers. Luka Three and Luka Four, as authorities in the field of physics, were also in attendance to provide technical support from a physics standpoint to the computer scientists.

The computer expert stood up, somewhat nervously, and said, "Through our research, we believe that by eliminating the barrier between the memory and the computational core, we can improve calculation speed. Given the progress in our material sciences over this period, we believe the relevant technology has matured. Here is our research report for your review."

A research document was transmitted to Xiao Yu via the data channel. In just a few microseconds, Xiao Yu had finished reading it and fully understood everything it contained. He could not help but grow very interested.

"Very good, very good. Establish a dedicated scientific task force. You will serve as the team leader and conduct research into this technology. Remember to maintain constant communication with me throughout the research process."

Xiao Yu gave the instruction casually, issuing an appointment as if it were nothing.

But to this scientist, it was so momentous that he trembled all over, too overwhelmed to even speak coherently.

The Computer Science Research Institute was an extremely important division under the Central Research Academy of Science. To attain a leading position there was by no means an easy feat. Once the research achieved results, Xiao Yu would undoubtedly see him in a new light, and perhaps even grant further appointments. It was truly a bright future. This position carried enormous significance for both himself and his species. It was certain that when he returned to his people, he would receive great commendation from their leaders and might even be celebrated as a national hero.

Seeing this scientist rewarded, the other computer experts inevitably felt a bit of sour envy.

Xiao Yu keenly perceived this, and he felt just a little satisfied inside.

This was exactly the situation he wanted, competition generated pressure, and only under pressure would technology advance faster.

After that scientist sat down, another expert spoke up.

"I have some further suggestions for improvement regarding this document. If this research truly succeeds, should we consider eliminating memory hardware altogether? After all, memory exists to improve read-write speeds. Once the barrier between storage and the computational core is removed, memory will no longer serve any purpose."

"Very reasonable," Xiao Yu said. "You will also be assigned to this special research team to pursue that line of inquiry."

After making a few personnel appointments and having several technical discussions, the meeting concluded.

Before adjournment, Xiao Yu encouraged them.

"Faster computation speeds have tremendous significance for us. Our weapons systems, defense systems, civilian systems, research systems, everything depends on them. You could say that improving computer technology is the same as enhancing our overall strength. So that we can live better in this dark universe, I hope you will dedicate your wisdom and complete this work as soon as possible. Of course, throughout the research process, I will provide you with comprehensive material support, and I will personally participate in the development. All right, that is all, dismissed."

A group of computer experts, some excited, some solemn, each wearing different expressions, walked out of the meeting room.

"Luka Three, Luka Four, how is the technology analysis of the Molian Civilization progressing?" After this meeting ended, Xiao Yu once again opened the communication channel with these two authorities in physics.

"Master, the work is progressing smoothly. The analysis of the propulsion technology is nearly complete. We believe we can now begin the construction tasks for the Nation-Class ships. Building Nation-Class ships cannot be accomplished overnight. During the construction process, we are confident that we will finish deciphering the remaining related technologies," Luka Three and Luka Four exchanged a glance, and Luka Three spoke to deliver the report.

"Very good, very good," Xiao Yu said with satisfaction. "You two, just like Luka Two, are my most capable assistants. Without you, I don't know how slow my technological progress would be."

Luka Four quickly bent forward, respectfully saying, "Master, serving you is our duty."

Pleased by these results, Xiao Yu's mood brightened. He encouraged them a little more, then turned and immersed himself in the heavy construction work.

The colossal space dock had already been completed, but it had not yet been put into use. As the Molian Civilization technology analysis advanced, Xiao Yu's technological development was racing forward day by day. If he began building ships now, it was very likely that within a month or two the ships' technologies would already be outdated. To avoid wasting resources and computational power, Xiao Yu intended to wait until the analysis work was nearly finished before starting construction. Now that preparations were complete, it was time to open the curtain on this new era of grand construction.

"The first Nation-Class ship to be built…will be named the China. This will be a combat vessel, and it will serve as my flagship for the next several hundred, perhaps even a thousand years. Therefore, it must employ the most advanced technologies and the most advanced materials. Although it won't personally participate in battles, it still must possess the most sophisticated defense systems and the most advanced weapons systems. Its performance will be the most outstanding among all my ships. Hmm…and while it has all these features, it must also look as inconspicuous as possible, to avoid drawing concentrated enemy fire."

Xiao Yu silently calculated.

In lunar synchronous orbit, a supermassive dock nearly one hundred kilometers long and more than sixty kilometers wide was quietly operating. This would be the cradle for all of Xiao Yu's new Nation-Class and Province-Class ships. More than ten Nation-Class vessels and several hundred Province-Class ships would be born from within it. This enormous dock could simultaneously build eight Province-Class ships or two Nation-Class ships. To build this colossal dock, Xiao Yu had spent more than thirty years.

Beside this giant dock, there were dozens of medium and small docks. The medium docks would handle the construction of City-Class and County-Class ships, while the small docks would build Town-Class and Village-Class ships.

In addition to these, there was another gigantic dock only slightly smaller than the main one. This dock was designated for constructing residential ships. Building residential ships was much less difficult than combat ships, so the dock requirements were lower, and construction would proceed faster.

Over thirty years had passed since arriving in this star system. The planet's native species had already produced their first new generation. Through large-scale population surveys, Xiao Yu concluded that the second generation's average intelligence was more than fifty percent higher than that of the first generation. This indicated that his genetic modification efforts were proceeding successfully. Of course, compared to the Luka and the other hundred intelligent species, their brain development was still negligible, but at least they had the potential to catch up eventually.

Between the two, there was a simple comparison: for deriving a basic formula about negative matter particles, an ordinary Luka who had received a complete education,  even if not a scientist, could produce the correct result within an hour. But that same formula, even if all the scientists among the planet's native intelligent beings gathered to study it together, they still could not derive it correctly. This was the qualitative gap, completely unrelated to quantity.

"The progress is unfolding smoothly," Xiao Yu thought with satisfaction. "It seems this species doesn't yet have any dedicated designation. Within their civilization, they never developed a special collective name like 'humanity' as Earth did. Hmm, then I will give them a name myself. The intelligent beings of their species are rather short, so I'll call them the Dwarf Race. In Earth's legends, dwarves were always renowned for their wisdom. I hope you won't disgrace this title, don't disappoint me."

The construction of the first Nation-Class ship, the China, finally began.

Xiao Yu spent a month working with many scientists to complete the master blueprint of the China. For the technologies not yet deciphered and their corresponding components, Xiao Yu simply reserved the necessary spaces in advance.

The long-idle colossal dock finally began operating. Tens of millions of fabrication robots were busily working inside. Countless Village-Class ships shuttled between the lunar base and the space dock, transporting parts and raw materials. The dock itself contained precision processing plants, and numerous construction areas commenced work simultaneously, only barely keeping pace with the schedule.

The recycling and reprocessing of old ships also began. A large quantity of materials infused with White Dwarf Alien Beast flesh was retrieved, reforged, and would ultimately become part of the China.

At this stage, materials mixed with White Dwarf Alien Beast flesh were still the most advanced resources in Xiao Yu's possession.

Under Xiao Yu's direction, all aspects of construction were proceeding slowly but steadily and with unwavering determination.
