Li Chen listened to Noah's reply and glanced at the time.
It was already past midnight.
The time had long since reached 1:35 a.m.
In other words, three hours had passed since Noah received the intelligence.
At this hour, aside from a few critical departments inside the Star-Level Shelter,
most of the other residents had already gone to sleep.
Li Chen had no intention of disturbing everyone right now.
After all, whether this news was announced a day earlier or later would not make much difference.
At present, the Star-Level Shelter was mining the energy resources of Sirius's Binary Star System.
It would probably take about another week to finish extracting them.
Though it might be even faster.
The Space Shelter was currently enormous.
The Dyson Swarm absorbed energy at a rate not much slower than two Energy Hearts.
It had even begun steadily catching up to Megatron.
Moreover, Li Chen had ordered the construction
of a Fully Automated Production Line for Interstellar Mining Transport Ships several days ago.
That work was still progressing steadily.
From the control panels and surveillance feeds,
it was clear that the relevant production line construction zones were brightly lit.
The engineers, the heads of the weapons and equipment production departments, and a large number of workers were all still tirelessly working overtime to speed up progress.
Once Earth Civilization's own large-scale Interstellar Mining Ships entered mass production,
the Star-Level Shelter's mining speed would rise dramatically.
Whether it was a mere Sirius Star System
or other small, medium, and large Star Systems,
extracting all their resources would be no problem.
As long as more resources were mined,
Li Chen could use those energy resources to further enhance the Star-Level Shelter's strength and develop Earth Civilization's level.
That would allow them to better protect their home
