A shuttle slowly descended onto Kev-Bir Planet. On this ocean world, rapid changes were taking place, with new ocean-city sectors beginning construction almost every day.
The Salarians worked with astonishing efficiency. Under the pretext of rebuilding civilization, Professor Modin had broken Salarian tradition by lifting incubation restrictions and allowing population growth for twenty years. It was estimated that within twenty years, the Salarian population would stabilize at 800 million to 1 billion.
After that, they would resume their traditions, limiting the number of annual incubations to keep population growth balanced.
Tang Xiao's shuttle flew directly to the central spaceport of the largest ocean-city sector. Just as he stepped off the ship, the Salarian Chief Engineer Arroyo-Barlow arrived with his core team.
Salarians had almost no concept of waiting. Even though Tang Xiao had notified him in advance, he would still make use of every second, calculate the shuttle's arrival time, and only then come out to receive him.
Arroyo-Barlow made a welcoming gesture, skipping even the pleasantries as he spoke while walking. "Among the database permissions you provided, Amarr Empire warships do indeed possess strong adaptability, and their weapons and energy systems can be integrated with our existing equipment. The main difficulty lies in replacing the hull materials—Tritanium, Crystalline Carbonide, and Ferrogel—which requires a great deal of physics testing. However, we have found suitable materials for all of them on Dor Planet."
"Then how does this newly produced destroyer compare with our existing warships?" Tang Xiao asked.
"You can see that directly during the trial voyage," Arroyo said.
Tang Xiao nodded and followed him to the control center on the other side of the spaceport. On the enormous central screen was a space station located inside a secret shipyard.
Inside the space station's vast hangar, three large warships were docked
