Ever since learning that the design of the Earth was constrained by materials technology, he had turned his attention to the research direction provided by the Technology Tree.
Only...
Carbyne composites.
The research direction provided by the Technology Tree was far too broad.
Lü Yongchang could only have the laboratory run experiment after experiment.
In short, a process of elimination.
Unfortunately, despite consuming enormous amounts of effort and resources, these needle-in-a-haystack experiments had yielded little.

Although he had obtained several excellent materials with good performance as a result, they fell far short of the standards required to build a starship.
