After looking at the biological brain, Li Xin saw the main brain of the Walker Guardian next to it.

He inquired, "Is this Walker Guardian's main brain still useful?"

Ophelia said, "We've thoroughly mastered the technology of this mastermind. At the same time, we've uploaded all of Walker Guardian's scientific research and technological reserves into the company's system for use in other research projects."

"Theoretically, this mastermind doesn't have much use right now. It only provides work arrangements for the guardian robots and virtual world services for the Walker people."

"The consumption of this main brain is astonishing, and maintaining so many Walkers is also a huge expense. Is there any good way to handle these tasks?" Li Xin asked.

Ophelia thought for a moment and said, "That's easy."

"Based on the current functions of the main brain, its original scientific research capabilities can be ignored and can now be fully transferred to the biological brain array."

"The next step is to maintain and command the guardian robot.

This part should be retained, otherwise the billions of robot workers will be wasted."

"Finally, it's about protecting the Walker community. We have two ways to deal with the Walker community."

"The first is to drive them all out of the virtual world, make them slaves again, and start working for us."

"After all, this is a workforce of nearly 200 million people."

"The second is to shut down the virtual world and use this computing power for other purposes, such as assisting our biological brain with scientific research calculations. This will also accelerate the research speed of our scientific research projects."

"And these Walkers, their bodies and brains are connected to the main brain, so they can act as computing nodes, acting as pigeons to provide more computing power to the main brain."

"After all, this mainframe is able to construct such a vast virtual world, so its computing power must be considerable. It would be a waste to shut it down directly."

Looking at these two choices, Li Xin thought about it. The imprisoned Walker people had basically never left the virtual world constructed by the guardian's main brain from birth to death.

Even if we let them work, they won't be of much help.

So he said, "Then let's follow the second method you mentioned. Transform these Walkers into computing nodes and train them as pigeons!"

"There's no need for these Walker tribesmen to continue reproducing. Just kill this group off."

Ophelia nodded slightly and said, "Yes! Marshal!"

After inspecting the work here, Li Xin left with satisfaction. After returning to his office, he began to allocate resources for Ophelia to expand the cultivation of biological brains.

At the same time, scientific researchers from other projects began to be mobilized to this planet.

Such a Walker Guardian's main brain cannot be wasted. It would be shameful to waste so much computing power.

One by one, scientific research project teams entered this planet from space and began to use the computing power of Walker's main brain to accelerate their own scientific research projects.

It's not just new research, such as building docks, expanding star bases, etc., which all require calculations.

Now with the help of this computing power, it is a huge acceleration for the entire human society.

Capturing the Walker Guardian can be said to be a considerable gain for the Galaxy Defense Company. Not only did they obtain a large amount of materials, but they also solved some problems in scientific research projects.

Li Xin entered a new research institute, which is the Military Research Institute.

At present, for Li Xin, having a battleship construction plan faster is particularly critical.

For interstellar civilizations, having battleships and not having battleships can be regarded as two completely different classes.

Although battleships are not the most powerful battleships in the universe, there are dreadnoughts and even Titan flagships above them.

This is also a battleship. Some civilizations will also transform asteroids into their own planetary fortresses. This kind of large weapon has stronger combat power.

But no matter what, battleships are still the most mainstream ships in the universe. Some small civilizations even have only one or two battleships as flagships of their fleets.

Just as mechas can only be fought by mechas, battleships can only be fought by battleships.

Other ships, whether frigates, destroyers, or cruisers, which consume the same resources to build, will be nothing but food when facing battleships.

Entering the institute, there are thousands of people busy here. The person in charge is Xu Yin, a scientific research talent supported by the Seventh Wave.

Hearing that Li Xin had arrived, Xu Yin hurried out to greet him: "Marshal!"

Li Xin nodded slightly, then asked, "How is the current progress of military weapons research?"

Xu Yin's expression remained calm. He said, "Compared to the Union, our research speed here has increased by at least two times!"

"Thanks to the massive computing power allocated to our mainframe, the speed of many research projects has improved dramatically!"

Li Xin asked a question of concern: "How long will it take for the battleship project to succeed?"

Xu Yin is a talent given by the Seventh Wave. He has a certain understanding of the battleship blueprint, which is the main reason why Li Xin asked him to be responsible for this project.

This is like crossing a river by feeling the stones, which is much better than having no direction at all.

Xu Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Based on our current research speed, it will take at most ten years to unlock the battleship construction plan. By then, we will be able to build battleships with the help of our shipyard!"

Hearing this number, Li Xin nodded.

Because the last time Li Xin asked Xu Yin, he said it would take at least thirty to forty years, but now it only takes about ten years, which is an incredible speed-up.

If the ability to build battleships can be unlocked in ten years, then the upgrade speed of star bases and space docks will be similar.

By the time the dock construction is completed and the ship research is successful, Li Xin will be able to directly build more battleships.

Once he has a batch of battleships, Li Xin will be able to gain a foothold and develop in this star field.

The Seventh Wave's Commander's Guard consisted of over a thousand ships, including dozens of battleships.

Adding the main force of the fleet docked in the border star fortress, one can imagine how many warships they have.

The Yelong Empire, which requires so many warships to suppress, is a powerful force that should not be underestimated.

If the Galaxy Defense Company encounters the Yelong Empire in advance, it will be in danger without battleships.
