That makes a lot of sense!

Yue Yuan looked up and met Man Yuemei's gaze, then leaned back in his chair. "But since that's the case, we still need to confirm one thing: whether newborns of the Kuntai People have the ability to inherit memories! Have you consulted Professor Yi Kai about this?"

Yue Yuan has been busy with his own affairs lately and hasn't paid much attention to information about the special characteristics of the Kuntai People. Therefore, he doesn't know whether the Kuntai People are a race like humans, where newborns need to start learning from scratch.

The universe is vast and full of wonders.

Since Man Yuemei brought this up, Yue Yuan naturally started thinking about the racial characteristics of the Kun-Tai Civilization.

While the idea of memory inheritance sounds fantastical, given that asexual reproduction and abnormal development can occur within the same species, and even within a Sentient Life, it might actually be possible.

"No, not at all." Man Yuemei shook her head, slowly straightened up, then turned around and sat back down on the sofa. "I just felt that the way it was handled was a bit inappropriate, so I came over on my way."

"In that case, I'll talk to Yi Kai about this myself later." Yue Yuan pondered for a moment, then made a few moves on the computer to transfer a file from the computer to the wireless storage chip on the desktop.

Afterwards, he picked up the chip, got up, sat down next to Man Yuemei, and handed the chip to her. "This is the parameter report of the Cold Nuclear Pulse Thruster. Take a look at it later. After the Engineering Department completes the verification, we will install this on the new Probe Spaceship. Probe Spaceship and warship projects both fall under the military industry category, so you need to follow up."

"Cold Nuclear Pulse Engine, huh? The Kun-Tai Civilization's warships also have that. I remember they couldn't use it back then, apparently because they lacked Cold Nuclear Fusion fuel." Man Yuemei took the chip, directly imported it into her Personal Terminal, and said, "The detailed manufacturing process for Cold Nuclear Fusion fuel should have been found in their database, right?"

"It's all thanks to their surrender; otherwise, if we had destroyed more warships and spaceships, we might have lost some data," Yue Yuan said with relief.

"Cold Nuclear Fusion material production doesn't seem easy either; it looks like this won't be completed anytime soon." Man Yuemei then opened her Personal Terminal, browsing the data Yue Yuan had just given her, and said.

"It's indeed not easy." Fortunately, there wasn't anything too serious, so Yue Yuan began to explain the relevant information about cold Fusion Thruster to Man Yuemei. As a military commander, it was essential for him to understand the performance of warships.

Of course, you may not know the specific manufacturing process of fuel, but you should at least have a general understanding of the manufacturing cycle, what raw materials are needed, what kind of factory is required, and what kind of technology is used.

The fuel for Cold Nuclear Fusion is a condensed matter, meaning that it does not exist in nature and must be produced artificially.

Production requires production equipment, workshops, and production lines. So, once humans acquire manufacturing methods, the first thing they need to solve is these problems, followed by the problem of raw materials.

The Kun-Tai Civilization has readily available equipment, workshops, and production lines, as well as design blueprints. Humans can simply take them from them or manufacture them themselves according to the blueprints.

As for fuel, humans would have to mine it themselves, according to the material list of the Kun-Tai Civilization, and separate the required chemical elements.

Yes, unlike thermonuclear Cold Nuclear Fusion Nuclear Fusion fuels cannot be directly obtained from nature in large quantities of Protium Deuterium Tritium, helium-3, Helium-4; they need to be prepared in a secondary process.

It is a form of energy storage, and theoretically it shouldn't be considered an energy source. But surprisingly, the energy required to produce it is much less than the energy released by Nuclear Fusion.

So from this perspective, it can indeed be considered a type of energy.

Unlike the thermonuclear Nuclear Fusion of burning stars, this is an energy source hidden by the laws of nature, which can only be discovered and utilized by civilizations with sufficient technology.

After giving a brief account of the Cold Nuclear Pulse Thruster, Yue Yuan changed the subject and asked about the post-war situation, "By the way, how is the post-war battlefield cleanup and search and rescue of possible survivors progressing?"

Man Yuemei was in charge of this matter, and she replied without much thought, "All Callisto-Class Warship and Escort Ship of the Jupiter constellation are participating in the battlefield cleanup and search and rescue operations. The battlefield cleanup is proceeding in an orderly manner, and many usable modular components have been found so far, but there has been little progress in the personnel search and rescue."

Yue Yuan nodded. There was no progress; they hadn't found any survivors.

Although he knew that in space warfare, once a warship was destroyed, there was a high probability that all the crew members on board would perish, he was mentally prepared for that.

But hearing the confirmed news still made me feel bad.

In this battle, humanity lost a total of 69,771 lives, the vast majority of whom perished when the Callisto-Class Warship was sunk. The Kun-Tai Civilization, on the other hand, suffered 14,010,000 deaths, mostly inhabitants of their Residential Spaceship.

The difference in casualties between the two sides was enormous, but Yue Yuan still felt very heavy-hearted.

Compared to battles within a planet, in space warfare, if you don't die, you're fine, but if there are casualties, it's a mass, organized death.

However, this is unavoidable. Warships are so large that without a sufficient number of personnel, they simply cannot function as combat vessels. While AI can certainly replace many jobs, as of now, human AI technology cannot completely replace human roles. In fact, it is precisely because of AI that humans can operate such massive warships with approximately three thousand personnel.

Of course, in a one-sided victory, it is also easy to achieve a situation where the enemy is annihilated with zero casualties.

In the following time, Yue Yuan discussed with Man Yuemei some matters concerning battlefield cleanup and the fleet, and also discussed the preparations to eliminate the remaining Kuntai People.

There is no disagreement on this point.

Once humanity completes the analysis and verification of all aspects of the Kun-Tai Civilization's data, the next step will be to completely destroy it.

Of course, there's another thing we need to confirm before we do this.

So after Man Yuemei left the office, Yue Yuan got up and went to the Life Science Research Institute. He needed to confirm this with Yi Kai.

It's been quite a while since the data was obtained, and the team of biologists should have moved from the data analysis stage to the verification stage.

Regarding the research on the Kuntai People's bodies, the tone had already been set in an internal discussion meeting, and some of these scientists should have already conducted research on this. It's just unknown whether there have been any results yet.

Upon arriving at the Life Science Research Institute, Yue Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. He went straight to where Yi Kai was and asked about the issues he was concerned about.
