After learning that there were still fifty years before the war, Ye Chen began planning the empire's future development as soon as he returned.
First and foremost, there were the spaceships.
After all, if they wanted to place the battlefield in space, how could they fight without space warships?

Now, after several years, the scientists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences had nearly finished researching these technologies and had begun construction.
But for a massive spacecraft like a space warship, technology was only one aspect. Another was the enormous amount of resources required.
With the Yanhuang Empire's current technology, resource extraction was still somewhat slow.
