The revolution in the shipbuilding industry also affected military warships. Although they lost their advantages in structure and material, it did not mean that military warships had no innovations; on the contrary, the emergence of new technologies reduced the construction materials consumed by the empire's existing warships, increased their defense and speed, and significantly boosted the construction speed.
Liya, who was chewing on roast meat nearby, continued, "Take the construction of pseudo psionic warships for example. We can now use forge planets to directly print the hull shell, and then let psionic rune masters carve runes. The redesigned rune matrix has a reduced carving difficulty and a greatly accelerated progress. Now, when we build pseudo psionic warships of the same type, the speed is increased by more than three times."
This speed increase was certainly incomparable to conventional warships, but it meant that the expansion of the empire's main fleet was boosted several times over, which was already a quite remarkable improvement.
Especially with the accelerated hull construction speed, this meant that simply expanding the number of psionic rune masters could greatly accelerate the expansion of the main fleet, which was even better news for the military.
"I see that the empire's existing defense system is upgrading?" he asked.
"Yes, the performance of the Xuanwu-type mobile battle star has been outstanding, and the military has resolved to gradually add this new type of military fortress into the space wall defense system. Because the retrofitted forge worlds are mostly busy, this plan is progressing slowly, and deployment has currently only been completed in a few important star systems. It will still take quite a while before the space wall is fully upgraded,"
Liu Manyun replied. She was temporarily on vacation during this period, giving her a brief pause from the exhaustion
