Katerina's Growth!
"Oh?"
This was something Lin Ye hadn't expected.
I did assign Katerina a task beforehand, putting her in charge of research on the spaceship.
Unexpectedly, she produced new results so quickly.
It seems that during the few days I gave Katerina a break, she must have been engrossed in studying Instance technology.
"Interesting, Miss Carter."
"From this perspective, you seem to be even more daring and decisive than those District Head."
This is exactly the effect Lin Ye wanted.
Obedient.
With the Alice Artificial Intelligence and the Divine Firmament granting the Civilization Guide the privilege of One-Click Error Correction and one-click review, he doesn't need anyone else to create anything perfect.
What's really needed is inspiration, a framework, to fill the gaps in one's own Instance after entering the Galaxy era.
Those people had all sorts of concerns, fearing that their designs would be worthless, but Katerina was completely different.
"Speaking of spaceships, the Queen, designed by Miss Carter, made an appearance in the last Instance, but unfortunately the Intelligent Machines God was too weak, so much so that the Star Destroyer didn't even have a chance to make a move before the Instance ended," Lin Ye said with a smile.
"It's alright, Commander Lin."
"The fact that you allowed the Queen to appear in your Instance is already the greatest trust and reward you can give me."
A blush returned to Katerina's face.
The Queen was indeed designed by her in its earliest form, but the Queen in Solar System Online only retains the shape of her design.
The entire technology of the spaceship was not her doing at all.
Lin Ye relied on her spaceship effortlessly. In fact, her designed spaceship was the first to be displayed in the Instance.
Perhaps... this is the kind of romance only geniuses possess.
Lin Ye picked up the documents that Katerina handed him and began to examine them carefully.
It's not that I didn't look closely, but once I took a closer look, I found that it actually made sense.
In this report, Katerina put forward her own ideas on the Universe Spaceship's energy, weapon systems, internal ecosystem, communication and navigation devices, and hull design.
It can be described as wildly imaginative.
One hypothesis is that an entire Fixed Star could be used as an engine to power a spaceship.
It possesses Space Folding Technology for large Universe Spaceship.
There are also various speculations about energy shields and energy deflection technologies.
What Lin Ye didn't expect was that Katerina's report even proposed a hypothesis.
Once a civilization develops to a certain level, Battleship Civilization will emerge within it.
Multiple Universe Spaceships form an array, each containing a social system, a civilization system, and a completely self-sufficient energy supply.
This would create a civilization based on warships.
Isn't this a true reflection of the Three-Body Problem story?
In the story of the Three-Body Problem, when Earth was on the verge of destruction, a fleet on a long voyage formed its own civilization.
"Miss Carter, you really are a genius." Lin Ye praised her without reservation.
"While some of your conjectures have flaws, they represent a very good direction. These ideas are still quite useful to me."
"I'll share these techniques with you once I've studied them more thoroughly."
Lin Ye was telling the truth.
It's not simply about encouraging Katerina.
Now, as Civilization Guide, with Alice as a kind of cheat code, plus his knowledge and understanding from his previous life, he doesn't need to painstakingly design Instance himself.
More importantly, it involves taking overall control, proposing research directions, and acting as a leader.
There are many small details that he might not have thought of on his own; it requires the collective wisdom of many people.
Katerina's ideas were certainly beyond her capabilities to realize on her own.
But if it's given to Alice, any of her conjectures could become reality!
"Human potential is truly limitless..."
"Looks like we'll have to keep putting pressure on Fulangche, Xi'er, and the others."
Lin Ye picked up his teacup and suppressed a sigh.
In fact, he knew very well that the Azure Civilization from the backward level of technology to the current level of Galactic Civilization was a huge chasm.
But human adaptability can bridge this gap.
Katerina is a prime example. She is constantly growing and adapting to the pace of Level One Civilization War Zone.
If all his trusted subordinates can keep up with the pace, and even if they can't match his level, they can at least reach half of his Level.
Then one's path will be much easier.
Katerina was overjoyed after hearing Lin Ye's praise.
The feeling of being recognized by someone you admire is simply wonderful.
"Commander Lin, there's another draft of a new spaceship for your review."
Then Katerina handed over a few more drawings.
The drawings depict a detailed design scheme for a Universe Spaceship.
There are renderings, internal perspective views, and even detailed annotations of weapons and energy systems.
This spaceship has a very imposing appearance, completely different from the previous Queen.
The overall shape looks like a broken giant sword.
The outline is full of irregular, jagged breaks, carrying a primitive and savage aesthetic of power.
