After properly preserving the woman’s body, Xiao Yu immediately began research in biotechnology. Life is the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe. Xiao Yu didn’t aspire to resurrect the woman—reviving the dead was a technology far beyond his grasp. Instead, he aimed to extract information from her brain through research. With that information, many of Xiao Yu’s doubts might be resolved. However, this was not a task that could be completed in a short time. Xiao Yu designated a dedicated laboratory to slowly pursue this line of research. With this matter temporarily set aside, Xiao Yu turned his focus to studying the Alien Beast’s tissue sample. This piece of tissue was a hard-won trophy, obtained at great risk. Naturally, Xiao Yu wanted to make the best use of it. At present, Xiao Yu was conducting strength tests on the tissue specimen. Controlling a robot, Xiao Yu transported the tissue, which emitted a dark green glow after being energized, into the laboratory. He secured it on a target and commanded another robot to begin firing at it with a high-velocity machine gun. This machine gun, utilizing cutting-edge electromagnetic coil acceleration technology, could fire bullets at speeds exceeding 10,000 kilometers per second. Relying on sheer kinetic energy, its bullets could penetrate specialized steel plates up to one meter thick. The target was precisely such a one-meter-thick steel plate. When the robot pulled the trigger, a high-speed bullet shot out of the barrel and struck the target almost instantly. The steel plate was penetrated directly. This result was somewhat unexpected for Xiao Yu. “I originally thought this tissue would demonstrate extraordinary resilience... but could it really have been pierced so easily?” Xiao Yu maneuvered the robot closer to inspect it carefully. The bullet had passed cleanly through the steel wall and was ultimately stopped by the spaceship’s energy shield. “So that’s it... This tissue is incredibly tough,” Xiao Yu remarked in awe upon seeing the phenomenon. Upon closer examination, Xiao Yu realized that the tissue hadn’t been penetrated. Instead, the bullet had carried it through the one-meter-thick steel wall. Placing the tissue back under the microscope, Xiao Yu conducted a thorough analysis and concluded that despite the bullet’s impact, the tissue showed no signs of damage. Even its cellular structure remained intact. The only noticeable effect was a slight reduction in the energy stored within it. With these experimental findings, Xiao Yu directed the robot to switch to a high-energy laser pistol for the next phase of testing. The result was the same: ten minutes of continuous laser fire failed to cause any damage. “I refuse to believe this!” At this point, Xiao Yu’s competitive spirit was ignited. He placed the Alien Beast tissue directly into a fusion reactor, leaving it there for an hour before retrieving it. The temperature and pressure inside the fusion reactor were unimaginable. In terms of temperature alone, no known material could remain intact under such extreme conditions. Yet the tissue specimen’s resilience once again defied Xiao Yu’s expectations. After an hour of relentless exposure, Xiao Yu retrieved the tissue. To his amazement, it remained completely undamaged. “No wonder it could survive on a white dwarf star. What an extraordinary creature...” Only such incredible durability aligned with Xiao Yu’s expectations for such a powerful being. Over the next ten days, Xiao Yu tried various methods but was still unable to damage the tissue in any way. After compiling all the experimental data, Xiao Yu reluctantly reached a conclusion. “The strength of this material... is unknown.” It was classified as “unknown” because Xiao Yu couldn’t find any way to damage it, leaving him unable to determine its ultimate strength. However, he surmised that the tissue’s energized strength was likely comparable to the hull of the strange spaceship. With this conclusion in mind, Xiao Yu extracted numerous samples from different parts of the Alien Beast’s finger for further study. As he gradually understood the properties of materials from various regions, a plan began to take shape in his mind. “This finger has a total mass of 3.5 million tons. That’s more than enough material to build an entire fleet. Let’s start with a 50-million-ton Province-Class spaceship. The remaining material can be used to construct City-, County-, Town-, and Village-Class ships...” In Xiao Yu’s vision, this fleet would consist of 10,000 Village-Class spaceships, 3,000 Town-Class spaceships, 200 County-Class spaceships, 15 City-Class spaceships, and one Province-Class spaceship. All these ships would use the Alien Beast’s finger material as their structural framework. After spending three months creating a comprehensive plan, Xiao Yu eagerly began the construction process. Due to resource constraints in deep space, it was impossible to complete the entire fleet here. However, by dismantling other spaceships, Xiao Yu could prioritize the construction of the Province-Class spaceship. At the same time, the research on the quaternary computer had made a significant breakthrough. Xiao Yu had completed the foundational hardware construction, various drivers, and the development of machine language. Once this new computer was implemented, Xiao Yu’s computational power would increase at least twentyfold. Xiao Yu repurposed the County-Class spaceship as a manufacturing facility, while three City-Class spaceships—Shijiazhuang, Langfang, and Tangshan—were converted into assembly lines. The Town-Class and Village-Class spaceships were assigned as transport vessels. Nearly five million robots were deployed in this massive construction project. They first divided the Alien Beast’s finger into segments, categorizing materials based on their uses. After processing the materials into parts in the manufacturing facility, they transported them to the City-Class spaceships for assembly, completing the final steps of construction in open space. In the vastness of space, Xiao Yu’s construction efforts were in full swing. Time passed, and after twenty years, the Province-Class spaceship was taking shape. Due to its enormous size, the spaceship had to be assembled directly in space, as no vessel was large enough to house it. To facilitate this, Xiao Yu had first constructed hundreds of large-scale shipyards. Looking at the colossal spaceship gradually taking form, Xiao Yu was filled with joy. As long as sufficient energy was available, this spaceship would be virtually indestructible. Moreover, the enhanced material strength meant improved mobility, giving the spaceship agility comparable to that of a Village-Class ship. Of course, to achieve agility comparable to or exceeding a Village-Class ship, the Hebei would consume significantly more fuel. “This is the first Province-Class spaceship. Let’s name it after my hometown—Hebei,” Xiao Yu decided after some thought. Upon completion, the Hebei would measure 4,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 200 meters high. It would be equipped with tens of thousands of energy cannons and countless laser weapons. The hydrogen bomb reserves alone totaled 30 billion tons. These bombs could serve as weapons during wartime or be dismantled for fuel during shortages. The Hebei would have the capability to single-handedly destroy a planet, marking a significant technological leap for Xiao Yu. The Hebei had become a fortress-class war machine. Amid the intense construction, Xiao Yu drew closer to his destination—the Aquila Three Star System. Only 0.1 light-years remained, equivalent to a three-year journey. At this distance, Aquila Three had become the brightest star in the sky. The construction of the Hebei also entered its final phase. The main structure of the spaceship was complete, leaving only the installation of internal wiring and instruments to finish the project. To build the Hebei, Xiao Yu dismantled nearly 5,000 spaceships and integrated their materials into the new ship. The Hebei’s total mass reached 50 million tons, which would increase to around 80 million tons when fully loaded with weapons and fuel. Over 300,000 robots were responsible for the Hebei’s daily maintenance, with more than 300 billion nanorobots serving within it. This was the most powerful combat spaceship Xiao Yu had built to date. Aquila Three was growing closer. The Aquila Three Star System consisted of three planets: two large gas giants and one rocky planet. The Arrow Beast Civilization’s homeworld was the rocky planet. Xiao Yu designated the rocky planet as Planet One and the two gas giants as Planets Two and Three. Aquila Three, a relatively young star, exhibited mild stellar activity. Its heliopause was relatively close to the star, about 15 billion kilometers away. Currently, Xiao Yu was positioned at this distance. Only 9 billion kilometers separated him from the outermost gas giant, and 14.8 billion kilometers from Aquila Three’s equivalent of Jupiter, a journey of roughly 20 days. At this distance, the vanguard finally rendezvoused with the trailing capture fleet. The quaternary computer had been successfully developed and, after years of testing, was fully operational. The Hebei’s central computer utilized this latest quaternary system. The Hebei’s central computer boasted computational power twenty times greater than that of Xiao Yu’s current flagship, the Yanjing. “It’s time to move,” Xiao Yu thought with great excitement. After ensuring the surrounding environment was safe, Xiao Yu used radio waves to transfer his consciousness from the Yanjing to the Hebei.
