298: Chapter 298 Mid-Tier Warship Industrial System, Ophiuchus

Therefore, the Human Federation is basically considered the mid-grade hegemon of the southeast of the tail of the Orion Arm.

"In that case, adding the second-grade mineral deposits discovered in recent years, we should be able to build a local mid-grade warship manufacturing system."

"Then you need to urge the Federation to upgrade the technology for other corresponding functional components as soon as possible. We must possess a full range of warship industrial production categories; don't let a situation arise where, if war breaks out, we have to rely on external suppliers for components to build complete second-grade warships."

Hearing Master say this, Lu Tianxin showed a troubled expression.

Until Wang An's gaze swept over, she replied: "Although the technical data from the several major civilizations you provided contains the full set of basic theories and technologies, these all require Transcendent Life to participate in manufacturing."

"The current mid-grade shipyard is still under construction. If we want to continue improving the production factories for other interstellar spacecraft components, I can't handle it all by myself!"

Wang An understood upon hearing Lu Tianxin say this.

"First, mobilize Black Mountain to manufacture a few mid-grade mechanical Puppets, then you can divide your Yin Spirit thought to take control, and that should work."

"I will study the mid-grade Puppet spirit-attachment technique, and later let Ling Ming control it; that should achieve a similar effect."

Lu Tianxin did not expect Master to solve this problem in just a few sentences. She could also escape the tedious Dao of refining, and was overjoyed.

Seeing her like this, Wang An shook his head with a laugh and added a few more words.

"Mid-grade mechanical Puppets belong to the mid-grade mechanical legion technology of the mechanical modification system. However, this type of mid-grade mechanical Puppet is difficult to adapt to other systems. Only by dividing a Yin Spirit thought can such a control method achieve the ability to manufacture mid-grade warship components."

"These past few days, Ling Ming and I have been designing the shipyard and have learned many technical details about the Milky Way Galaxy's transcendent starships."

"I know that the so-called mid-grade warship components are not true mid-grade Magic Treasures. Their essence is slightly lower than Magic Treasures that are refined by mid-grade transcendent power, move according to one's will, and can change size at will. They lack spirituality and can only rigidly execute pre-set program commands; they can be considered a type of second-grade apparatus."

"But second-grade transcendent apparatuses still possess subtle transcendent Law, which is why they must be precisely manufactured by Transcendent Life."

Regarding these understandings of Lu Tianxin, Wang An provided some further explanation.

"The Milky Way Galaxy's mechanical modification system generally uploads consciousness data into the core machinery, transforming it into information-state consciousness to control mechanical Puppets, just like manufacturing second-grade apparatuses oneself."

"That is why you have so much trouble now, but fortunately, our transcendent system is not bad either."

"With the support of the Netherworld system, as long as we refine Puppets that possess a Soul but no consciousness, and then connect them with Ling Ming, it should greatly reduce the demand for mid-grade productivity."

Soon, ten years passed. At this time, the total population of the entire Solar Star Sector had reached 30 billion.

Within the ten major star systems, countless spaceships transported goods back and forth between each star system.

The outermost Ophiuchus star system, as a large trading star system opened by the Human Federation in recent years, welcomed warships traveling to the sparse Star Domain for exploration to stop and resupply.

In a high-end restaurant at the Ophiuchus orbital starport, a humanoid relic exploration team was enjoying spiritual food in a private room.

A Dwarf held the spiritual wine in his hand, carefully tasting it slowly. Even for a Dwarf known for being bold and addicted to alcohol, being so careful showed that the spiritual wine in the Magical Artifact wine glass was extraordinary.

In this team, besides the 4 Dwarves, there was also a pair of Elf husband and wife with human-like appearance, green hair, and pointed ears, who were slowly sipping the spiritual tea from their teacups.

One could hear a loud-voiced Dwarf, whose physique was extremely outstanding among the Dwarves, who was highly respected and possessed an extraordinary Aura, pointing at the pitch-black fortress outside the window that looked like a planet, speaking incessantly.

"You didn't see it at the time. When this Black Mountain annihilated the notorious Evil Dragon Pirate Group, the scene of a single star-destroying cannon shot made even their mid-grade third-level pirate warship instantly turn to ashes."

"And that moon Magic Treasure, with one flash of white divine light, no matter where the strong enemies came from, they were all frozen solid."

"Based on my experience wandering these years, choosing to settle here is safe and stable."

"You young people have encountered a good time. This sparse Star Domain is vast, and in recent years, it has randomly erupted with some special resources. High-grade civilization races don't look down on them, otherwise, how would it fall to exploration teams like us?"

At this moment, one of the female Elves asked the mid-grade second-level Dwarf captain somewhat urgently: "Captain Forgum, when can we sell those two Earth Dao spiritual objects we found? Now that more and more people are gathering, if we stay here too long, the chances of us going back to search and finding something will become less and less."

The powerful Dwarf named Captain Forgum gave his assurance with a tone of confidence.

"Everyone, do not worry. I have already uploaded the information about those two treasures to the trading platform. Even if no buyer bids within a week, this Human Federation will guarantee the purchase."

"After we finish eating, I will take you to the market here to have a look. Nowadays, this Ophiuchus Star gathers many resources, and there are several Human Race specialties. We humanoids should also be able to find many useful good things. When the time comes to advance further, won't we have more confidence when entering the sparse Star Domain again?"

The group sat here for half an hour, and soon, spiritual fruits, spiritual vegetables, and Spirit Beast meat radiating the Aura of the primary third-level were served on the dining table.

Just the pure spiritual Qi and spiritual Origin Qi emanating from within made everyone feel relaxed and happy.

Having had experience tasting transcendent plants from the Origin Qi system several times, the group did not stand on ceremony and immediately started eating, sweeping away the large amount of food on the table.

Soon, the spiritual meal worth half a magic Origin crystal was finished by the six people.

Their state of mind, originally exhausted from years of tedious searching and exploring, was also calmed down quite a bit. The transcendent power flowing within their bodies became smoother and more fluid, and their minds were clear.

After they finished eating and paid, they walked out of the restaurant, which specialized in providing high-end food for Transcendent Life above the primary level, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

A newly arrived Dwarf seemed to feel that this cost of half a magic Origin crystal was quite extravagant, and muttered with some heartache: "It is delicious, but it is just some primary transcendent food. Why does it require second-grade transcendent crystals for payment?"

Captain Forgum felt embarrassed by his fellow clansman's ignorance and stinginess, and immediately whispered an explanation to him.

"Although the food in this restaurant is all at the primary level, the spiritual water they use to make this food is second-grade. Otherwise, why would it be so expensive?"

"Even the spiritual tea and spiritual wine we drank were made with second-grade spiritual water. Otherwise, if you want to eat real second-grade transcendent food, that is also possible."

Subsequently, he pointed to the tallest transcendent building in the orbital starport and said: "That tower has real second-grade food. One meal costs hundreds of second-grade Low Grade transcendent crystals. I guarantee that eating it once will be worth decades of your cultivation."
