Perhaps for other civilizations, advances in computer technology would not play a decisive role.
But Human Civilization was different.
For Human Civilization, which possessed strong artificial intelligence, a breakthrough in computer technology would bring unparalleled improvements!
The most basic improvement would be in infrastructure.
As long as Zero had enough computing power, humanity could expand without end!
Next came warfare.
Although all asteroid interception duties were now assigned to starship pilots, a single order from Lü Yongchang would allow Zero to control 250 battleships, forming a dense web of firepower that could precisely intercept any asteroid in the fleet's path.
The same held true if those asteroids were replaced with enemy ships.
It was precisely this consideration that made Lü Yongchang frown deeply when he learned that the photon computer research project had still made no progress whatsoever.
"Academician Mo, I'll come to the laboratory with you in a bit. I hope we can overcome the problems with the photon computer as soon as possible."
Unlike the other research projects, the photon computer, a core research project of Human Civilization, had not been suspended because of the fleet's voyage.
This was also an attempt to seize that last slim chance.
If they achieved a breakthrough in photon computer technology before leaving the Solar System, humanity would undoubtedly have a better chance of winning the coming war.
Mo Zeyang paused, then hurriedly nodded in agreement with Lü Yongchang's request.
As the head of the photon computer project, he naturally could not have been happier to have Lü Yongchang help solve this problem.
After all, being stuck on a project for years would be rather embarrassing if word got out.
Inside the main laboratory aboard the Earth.
Lü Yongchang carefully reviewed the research Mo Zeyang and the others had conducted during
