Now that Strategy Two has been achieved, the development of a stellar-scale astronomical computer must also catch up with the progress.
Therefore, Mo Chen contacted Xiao Tianzong.
"I need a star as a resource for development. Currently, none of the federations near our solar system are a match for us. Can we launch an invasion and plunder?"
As the top leader of the Milky Way, he should at least give us a heads-up before launching an attack.
"Well..."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Tianzong replied, "If you only need stars and are not primarily focused on plundering, then you can choose star resources from other places."
The Milky Way contains hundreds of billions of stars, and although we have marked them all, the vast majority are still unclaimed star systems. This is because, even after so many years of development, the human population has not yet reached a level sufficient to fill the entire universe.
From a macro perspective, we have merely left our mark across the known universe, rather than having filled it entirely.
We all share the same origin, we're all part of the same Milky Way family. Let's try to avoid war if possible; only consider other options if absolutely necessary.
"I see. In that case, there's no need to start a war. Just send me the coordinates of those unclaimed star systems. With sufficient stellar resources, I'll plan other routes."
Mo Chen indicated that he understood.
Xiao Tianzong quickly transmitted the star map to Mo Chen.
After obtaining the star map, Mo Chen led his men to the nearest star.
“A cultivator at the Mahayana stage cannot withstand this kind of high temperature.”
Mo Chen stood in front of the star, pondering.
Tang Guoqiang, who was standing to the side, said, "Spirit Realm cultivators can withstand this kind of high temperature and pressure, but there are only a few hundred Spirit Realm cultivators in our solar system."
"If manpower isn't enough, we'll use technology. You can go back now; I'll take care of things here."
Mo Chen started to shoo people away.
"Alright, if the commander-in-chief needs support, just let me know and I'll be there immediately."
Tang Guoqiang didn't ask any questions and quickly left the star system.
Mo Chen didn't say anything more and opened the chat group to seek help from his backer.
[Mo Chen: @Jiang Fan, Brother Fan, I'm in trouble. I hope you can lend a hand.]
[Zhang Mu: A loud bang in the sky, and Brother Zhang makes his dazzling entrance.]
[Jiang Fan: What's the problem?]
Mo Chen took a picture and posted it in the group.
[Mo Chen: Image of a star.jpg. I'm building a stellar-scale astronomical computer, but most of my staff can't withstand the high temperatures and pressures of a star. So I want to solve this problem through technological means.]
[Ling Tian: This is the first time I've seen a star this close.]
[Zhang Mu: Just look at the color of this star; it's in its youth, full of vitality.]
Jiang Fan: No problem, I'll hire a mechanical construction team for you later. Of course, you'll have to replenish the energy yourself.
Transforming a stellar-scale astronomical computer requires a lot of resources; you need to consider that in advance.
[Mo Chen: Okay, don't worry about energy. I can extract stellar energy from other star systems and bring it here.]
Jiang Fan: That's fine then.
[Ding! The group owner has sent a designated red envelope to group member Mo Chen.]
[Ding! Mo Chen has received a red envelope.]
[Mo Chen: Fan-ge, I love you, muah! ^3^.]
[Jiang Fan:......]
Zhang Mu: This is true love.
[Ling Tian: Yeah, yeah, Mo Chen has received the most red envelopes from the group owner since joining the group.]
[Jiang Fan: Do not believe or spread rumors.]
[Mo Chen: Ahem, this is just a gesture of friendship, I'm outta here.]
Mo Chen closed the chat group interface.
Then, he retrieved the mechanical construction team that Jiang Fan had given him from the system space.
There are hundreds of thousands of individual mechs.
? ? ?
Are you sure this is a construction team and not a mecha army?
"Stellar energy detected. Do you permit the extraction of replenishment?"
Hundreds of thousands of mechs shouted in unison.
The scene was quite shocking.
"Wait, this won't do. I'll take you to another star to absorb it."
Mo Chen quickly stopped him.
"Yes, sir. Standing still..."
Mo Chen then collected them into the system space and brought them here across several star systems to absorb stellar energy and replenish their own.
After releasing them.
"Suck it in, fill yourself up completely."
"Energy extraction in progress..."
Hundreds of thousands of mechs formed a circle around the star.
"Buzz!"
The entire star was being devoured bit by bit by the mechs, like an egg yolk, with hundreds of thousands of tiny threads connecting each mech.
"This mech is pretty powerful."
Mo Chen stroked his chin as he watched this scene, thinking he would ask Brother Fan for the manufacturing technology sometime.
"However, it's a bit cumbersome to bring them here every time we need to replenish energy. Is there any long-distance energy transmission capability?"
Mo Chen opened the instruction manual he was carrying.
I must say, it's truly worthy of Brother Fan's technology; he's considered every aspect.
This technology does indeed exist.
This type of mechanical construction team consists of 10,000 specially powered machines.
They can combine to form an energy harvester, which can be placed around the star to absorb and store energy.
When other mechanical legions are working on projects in another star system, they can connect to this location to recharge their energy over long distances.
The technology involved is not discussed in detail, but it must be a very complex subject.
After a long while, all the mechs were fully charged.
Mo Chen left behind the energy extractor and led the construction team back to the star they had just been on.
"Construction can begin now; assess the time required to complete the construction."
"Based on the current known conditions, and excluding unforeseen circumstances, the project will take 3 years to complete."
The mecha leader gave an answer.
"Three years! That's so fast!"
Mo Chen was somewhat surprised. Building a planetary-level celestial computer would take at least three years, yet a star-level computer could be completed in three years.
It's important to know that stars are much larger than planets.
"We are professionals, don't doubt our professionalism."
"The mecha leader said seriously."
"Then good luck to you all, you can begin now."
Mo Chen issued the order.
The entire mechanical legion then sprang into action.
Mo Chen had no interest in staying any longer and returned to the solar system.
Surprisingly, many federal envoys were already waiting for him there.
"What's going on today? Why are so many people gathered here?"
Mo Chen glanced at it, then sat down in the main seat and calmly drank his tea.
He wanted to see what these guys were up to.
"Commander-in-Chief, I heard that your solar system has begun building a stellar-scale astronomical computer?"
"A messenger spoke up."
"Oh? You're so well-informed? You already knew about my situation after I just started?"
Mo Chen glanced at Tang Guoqiang beside him.
The latter shrugged, indicating that he hadn't told them.
That's information we got from Xiao Tianzong, but it's nothing serious.
"We're all family. When something happens in the family, as members of the family, we'll naturally know immediately."
The messenger spoke very eloquently.
"So what? What are you trying to say? You wouldn't come here without a reason, would you? You're not all gathered here to get involved, are you?"
Mo Chen put down his teacup and looked at everyone.
