"Even in the Interstellar Era, there were still countless megaprojects." Lin Zhichen examined the construction of the Galactic defense network. To prepare for the war that would come in fifty years, the entire Empire had already mobilized. What Conilia had mentioned was only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, within the Galactic
defense network, the Space Wall Project was only one component.
The construction of Stellar Fortresses, the Space Wall, Death Star Cannons, and Fortress Star Systems, along with the deployment of garrisons in every star system, and much more—all of it made up a megaproject that touched every aspect of society and brought the entire Milky Way Galaxy's manpower and resources fully into play.

That figure might not seem high, but it was worth remembering that during Earth's World War II, one country's military spending had accounted for as much as 82 percent.
In a sense, this was already a case of excessive militarization. Fortunately, this was the Interstellar Era, with a sufficiently large population and highly advanced productivity. Even with only about 40 percent left for other fields, there was still enough to support the relatively rapid development of this colossal enterprise.
By now, the Milky Way Galaxy had become one vast construction site. The Gods briefly reviewed the overall situation before turning their attention elsewhere.
"Over the past few decades, the number of new Gaia Planets in the Milky Way Galaxy has exceeded a thousand." Liu Yun was more interested in this. She tapped the star map, and more than a thousand golden points appeared in the projection of the Milky Way Galaxy. Each one marked a Gaia Planet.
Without exception, they were all located in the innermost Galactic
