"professor."

As an electronic synthesized voice rang out, a deep blue holographic projection reappeared before Lü Yongchang's eyes, pulling his thoughts back from the infinite distance.

"The probe has arrived at the Gliese 3929 star system. Preliminary exploration data has been transmitted back. Do you wish to view it?"

The perfectly smooth, synthesized electronic voice gradually calmed Lü Yongchang's violently beating heartbeat.

He then remembered his second purpose in setting the "alarm clock"—to allocate corresponding production and construction tasks to zero based on the specific conditions of the star system.

In theory, as a strong AI, Zero should have sufficient judgment capabilities for various unexpected situations.

But since it concerns the future of human civilization, he has to be cautious.

As Lü Yongchang pondered the supplies that the human fleet urgently needed, he nodded.

Wow!

The incandescent light filled the room once again, and the deep blue holographic image gradually magnified.

The sudden bright light made Lü Yongchang squint his eyes instinctively.

The next moment, the room lights quickly dimmed, automatically adjusting to a brightness he found comfortable.

"Professor, according to the data transmitted back by the probe, this star system contains two solid planets and one gas giant."

A star map slowly appeared in the holographic projection.

Lü Yongchang carefully reviewed the various data transmitted back by the probe.

According to data transmitted back by the probe, the two solid planets are slightly different.

The solid planet closest to the host star is quite similar to Mercury.

Based on its mass, volume, and density data, it is easy to conclude that beneath the silicate shell lies a core of extremely large reserves of iron and nickel.

As for the other solid planet, because it is far from its host star and has a thin atmosphere, it is an extremely cold world.

The surface is extremely dry, with only a small amount of solid ice, making it almost worthless for mining.

It can be said that this is an extremely barren planet.

Gas giants go without saying.

It is a qualified energy replenishment station at any time.

Even though human fleets have adopted antimatter engines, helium-3 remains an essential energy reserve for the fleets.

There are two main reasons.

On the one hand, antimatter production is difficult and relatively expensive; on the other hand, antimatter energy is too wasteful to use in some equipment.

Besides helium-3, a fusion fuel, the abundant hydrogen in gas giants can also serve as fuel for antimatter engines—typically, antimatter engines generate energy by annihilating antihydrogen and hydrogen together.

After all, hydrogen is extremely common in the universe, and antihydrogen is relatively easy to produce.

Lu Yongchang withdrew his gaze, his brows furrowing slightly as he carefully considered the next construction plan.

"First, we will rebuild the Dyson Cloud antimatter production and storage base and make it our top priority."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently tapped the star on the star map.

"Received. Engineering ships and [Taotie] are being dispatched to the target area."

As the electronic synthesized sound rang out, a portion of the starships broke away from the main force and flew straight towards the distant star that emitted light and heat.

"Next is the second priority construction task."

“Build mining facilities and starship manufacturing plants near Gliese 3929b.”

(The planets are named as follows: the first is Gliese 3929b, the second is Gliese 3929c, and so on. 'a' indicates the star itself.)

"Use the star gold and carbon ytylene carried by the fleet to produce all kinds of war resources."

The so-called war resources, besides weapons and ammunition, are various warships.

Having experienced two consecutive wars, coupled with the tail-cutting operation, the strength of the Human Alliance fleet has been severely reduced.

To prevent unforeseen circumstances during the journey ahead, expanding the fleet is an urgent task.

But Lü Yongchang's brows furrowed even more.

Carbodys are a minor issue; although Gliese 3929c is extremely barren, some carbon can still be obtained.

The key is Star Gold.

The absence of ice giants within Gliese 3929 directly dashed Lü Yongchang's hopes of mining star gold.

Of course, he also knew that not all ice giant stars possess star gold resources.

Therefore, as early as when the Dyson Cloud device was being built, the Human Union Academy of Sciences spent a lot of resources on artificial star gold technology.

Currently, this technology is fully mature.

However, the raw materials became a major problem.

Without raw materials, it's all just empty talk!

Gliese 3929, this star system is so barren that Lü Yongchang felt a chill run down his spine.

There must be star systems nearby with relatively abundant resources, but the Human Alliance fleet's primary target is still that small black hole.

The sooner they reach the black hole, the sooner they can master warp technology and become a Type V civilization!

Spending hundreds of years more for this little bit of resources is clearly not worth it.

Left with no other choice, Lü Yongchang could only painfully adjust his instructions.

"Reduce the amount of war resources prepared by half."

"We need to reserve some supplies for a possible war."

"Received, manufacturing plan changed." Zero didn't understand Lü Yongchang's expression at this moment. As always, it faithfully carried out the instructions from its creator.

"Third priority task: send [Skewer] to Gliese 3929d to collect Helium-3 and Hydrogen."

Lu Yongchang raised his hand, rubbed his face vigorously, then exhaled a breath of stale air and spoke again: "Zero, estimate the time required for all tasks."
