Chapter 133: Dawn of the Artificial Intelligence

Li Wenyuan felt that his development speed was actually quite fast. At least compared to the current Milky Way civilization, it was even faster than the hyperspace engine.
When he first came to this universe, he was poor and did not even have a spaceship. The first time he flew, he used a pirate spaceship that he had stolen.
However, as they explored and discovered, the broken energy-producing buildings were gradually repaired, and the ownerless megastructures of humans were also recovered and placed under supervision.
His productivity was increasing exponentially. In less than a hundred years, he was already much stronger than all the civilizations in the galaxy.
Initially, he thought that this situation was not bad, but with the discovery of the Fish Tank planet and the further revelation of human secrets, he realized that the universe might not be as normal as it seemed.
Now, he could not even completely inherit the legacy of humans, let alone reach the level of humans in the past.
For this reason, he could not stop.
“No matter what, we still have to count on the megastructure. In order to improve our research capabilities, 1 need a circular world with huge scientific research output. It’s best if we have a few more. Moreover, building a circular world requires a large number of alloys, and alloys require a large number of minerals and energy…”
“Even if there are two lost empires, it will still be a little difficult…”
Although he lamented that his output was not enough, if other civilizations in the Milky Way heard this, it would definitely be another Versailles.
Take the Observer for example. It had not experienced any wars or suffered any crises. Logically speaking, he should be the most powerful of the lost empires in the Milky Way.
However, if they wanted to build a circular world immediately, they would not be able to take out so many resources for the time being.
After all, this megastructure required the most resources, and it also brought the best effects.
In fact, Li Wenyuan had already chosen a location to start building the circular world. The moment he discovered the material depressurizing device, he had already started his first galaxy miracle project.
There was a lot of preparatory work to build the circular world, including the exploration of the stability of the star, the calculation of the location of the circular world, and the dismantling of the planets in the galaxy.
These were all very time-consuming things, not to mention that this was just preparatory work. The circular world had not yet begun to be built.
Even though Li Wenyuan’s current construction efficiency was very high, it was still impossible to complete such a super project in a short period of time. It basically required years of progress.
Other than praying that he could find more ownerless megastructures, he could only start multiple megastructure projects at the same time. As long as his production capacity could keep up, he could build as many megastructures as possible.
And in this process, the circular world was naturally not the only choice for the megastructure. The megastructure that increased the production of other resources was also put on the agenda.
There was no need to talk about the material depressurizing device that could provide mineral raw materials. The one he currently had was enough for his mineral consumption.
Even though he might need more minerals in the future, he needed to use the alloy on other megastructures first.
After the completion of the Level 7 technology galaxy miracle, he had many new options for the megastructure, and he had long planned for it.
[ Dyson sphere ]
[ Introduction: This is a power generation megastructure that completely uses the energy of the star. Although the Dyson cloud is more cost-effective, what we need is not a cost-effective but extremely high output. To do this, we need to keep the stars under control. ]
[ Special note: Just think about it and you will know that this thing will completely cover the stars and turn all the ordinary planets in the galaxy into a frozen world. Therefore, please do not build it in a galaxy with indigenous creatures unless you don’t care about the life and death of indigenous creatures. In addition, its power generation is also related to the size of the star. If you are lucky enough to find a very big star, you might be able to turn the Dyson sphere into a super Dyson sphere. ]
The Dyson sphere was a basic megastructure that could provide a huge amount of energy.
The essence of its job was to cover the star with airtight solar panels and absorb all the energy emitted outwards. This was a type of interstellar building that had been speculated on Earth in his previous life.
Although this thing was often described as laborious but unrewarding at that time, it wasn’t difficult in this universe.
The real difficulty lay in the utilization and preservation of this energy source. However, this technology was considered basic technology in interstellar civilization.
If one wanted to make a sound in the Milky Way, a high-energy transformer that could hold a huge amount of energy was a necessary facility, because the currency of this Milky Way was energy.
As for the Dyson sphere, these civilizations might not take the initiative to create such a thankless project, but if an ownerless Dyson sphere was discovered, do you think they would beat their brains out?
Li Wenyuan’s gigantic construction project also required a large amount of energy, so the Dyson sphere entered his eyes and successfully became one of the foundations of the plan.
In addition, another megastructure had also become one of his targets:
[ Zero Element Furnace ]
[ Introduction: The extraction of zero elements is already an important part of the interstellar world. We have already managed to make use of most celestial bodies, and neutron stars will be no exception. Its dense material could be used as the armor of a battleship, but this was only one of the uses. If it wasn’t for military considerations, but for production, why couldn’t such a powerful material be used as a construction material? It’s much more useful than ordinary alloys ]
[ Special note: Can’t find the neutron star? It doesn’t matter. The accompanying star supercharger allows us to manually compress a star into a neutron star. Even though the neutron star formed in this way is not perfect, it is still a good source of zero-element matter. ]
This was a megastructure that could only be built on neutron stars. It could extract and use the dense materials of those neutron stars.
In the current era where large amounts of alloys were needed, such a megastructure could be considered an efficient source of alloys.
Just like the Dyson sphere and the material depressurizing device, this was a megastructure responsible for providing raw materials.
Coincidentally, there was a neutron star in his territory, so the construction of this megastructure had already begun.
Now, the circular world was his main source of scientific research. Li Wenyuan was wondering if there was a more powerful super megastructure like the star computer.
The current galaxy miracle did not provide such a possibility, and the scientific research output provided by the previous science hub was not very satisfactory.
He could only hope that the Level 8 Four-Dimensional Engineering and subspace engineering could bring him such a super megastructure.
“In the gap between development, other than continuing to search for information about humans, it’s also time to invest those sub-centers into the interstellar society…”
After deciphering the relics during this period, Li Wenyuan discovered that humans had a special liking for making the Milky Way lively. Almost all the relics were left behind for the birth of civilization.
So far, his two sub-center theme park mechanical servants and Assimilation Fighters had formed a large number of sub-bodies under the efficient self-replication methods of the mechanical body. It seemed that it was enough to become a civilization.
He felt that by imitating what humans had done, he might be able to understand some unexpected information.
As a lost robotic empire, it was normal for him to have a few Al vassal civilizations, right?
Therefore, after selecting a few suitable habitable planets around the country, the theme park mechanical servants and Assimilation Fighters officially stepped onto the Milky Way stage..
