The work of rebuilding the Solar System is still ongoing, and the other civilizations of the alliance have each found suitable planetary systems to settle in the vast starry sky centered on the Solar System.
Hu Yu ordered the fleet to build multiple long-term, stable, and massive four-dimensional channels between every two civilizations. Without the interference of the Insect Race, these channels could safely exist in the fourth dimension.
Moreover, Hu Yu deployed countless coordinate base stations in this vast airspace, so even if the Insect Race interfered with the Exterminator fleet, they could reach the fourth dimension at the fastest speed through these coordinate base stations.
The technology for the Exterminator Fleet to operate in the fourth dimension is also nearing maturity. Once the technology is mature, humanity will fully enter the Great Star Region Civilization. At that time, the Exterminator Fleet will not only be able to protect the safety of these fourth-dimensional portals, but also the safety of every territory and every civilization in the Alliance.
In the coming period, these members of the alliance will not only receive scientific research assistance from human scientists, but also experience a leap forward in population growth as the space expands. In the interstellar era, population size will remain the most important factor in whether a civilization is powerful; how can a civilization be powerful if it doesn't even have a large population?
Hu Yu could already foresee that, for the next few thousand or even tens of thousands of years, traveling in his spaceship in any airspace he had designated, he would encounter civilized beings from the Alliance and their fleets.
The fleet's population has only reached 2 trillion. A significant reason for this is that the fleet has been constantly on the move and engaged in combat, preventing people from settling down and never engaging in interstellar colonization. Hu Yu has even feared that the fleet's population is too large, as he lacks the capacity to protect such a large population and the safety of so many lives.
The situation is similar for other civilizations in the Alliance, especially the six Small Star Sector Civilization from the Insect Zone. They have a relatively short history of technological development, a very small population, and insufficient technological strength, making them even less capable of protecting their own people. In many cases, they need to rely on human fleets.
But things are different now. The Alliance no longer has powerful external enemies, and they have all become powerful Small Star Sector Civilization. There will be no difficulty or obstacles in carrying out interstellar colonization. The population of these civilizations will soon grow rapidly and spread throughout the Alliance territory.
More than 10,000 years have passed since the Insect Race outbreak. All low-level civilizations have been relocated. Except for a few promising civilizations that were given special care, the other ordinary civilizations were moved back to their original locations by the Great Star Region Civilization.
Near the Alliance territory, there were also some scattered low-level civilizations. Hu Yu directly selected 20 of these low-level civilizations at the early stage of Star-Level and began intensive training. Currently, the Alliance has the complete Small Star Sector Civilization technology tree of the Gemini Civilization and the warship analysis technology of the Flying Bear Civilization. Hu Yu gave all the technologies from the Small Star Region star sector and earlier in the technology trees of these two civilizations to these 20 civilizations. As for the Fish Horse Star Civilization, Hu Yu did not plan to give it to these low-level civilizations.
The benefits of nurturing lower-level civilizations to the Alliance are self-evident. The fleet already has successful examples. The Great Cang Civilization grew from Planetary-Level Civilization to Star System-Level Civilization in just ten thousand years after being nurtured. During this period, humanity provided very little technological support to the Great Cang Civilization. Now, these civilizations are directly providing technological support, and their growth rate will be even faster.
These cultivated civilizations will not have much development potential, and the technology provided by humans will leave backdoors that they will never be able to discover. Although these civilizations will not have much development potential, they are, after all, intelligent beings. Once they obtain enough technology, they will inevitably have a period of explosive growth, and it is even possible that they will surpass humans in a short period of time.
Perhaps the chances of this happening are extremely low, and perhaps even if this happens, they won't do anything to humans, but Hu Yu has to take precautions against all possibilities.
Once these civilizations have grown, they can help the Alliance build fleets, manufacture weapons, and patrol Alliance territories. In the interstellar age, no civilization would complain about having too many people, and the Alliance is no exception. The more Alliance members, the better, and the more intelligent beings within the Alliance, the better.
The reconstruction of the Solar System has been largely completed, Academician Zeng has also devoted himself to analyzing the technology of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. After careful investigation, the planet of the Fish Horse Star Civilization did not have much useful technology. These technologies were either possessed by humans or had equivalent effects. Originally, there were many Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization in the base of this planet, but they all committed suicide at the same time as the leader died.
The dilapidated command ship of the Fish Horse Star Civilization also possessed many useful technologies, but unfortunately, they were all rather insignificant. They were useful to the fleet, but could not effectively enhance its strength.
There are few useful things on the planets and command ships, but the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization are very useful. Human technology is not much worse than that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, so the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization were completely analyzed in less than 50 years. The academicians have figured out the principles of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's compression and cutting of space.
However, the Exterminator can no longer equip these two technologies. The number of technologies a warship can equip is limited. If they want to equip more technologies and ensure that each technology has sufficient destructive power, they can only increase the size of the warship. The academicians also understood why the warships of the Great Star Region Civilization are often hundreds of kilometers long. Each technology equipped on those giant ships can affect a spacetime area and has a world-destroying attack effect.
Hu Yu was still discussing with everyone how to use these technologies. Should they redesign a new giant ship that could be compatible with both the Exterminator and the Fish Horse Star warships, or should they directly copy the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships and use them in conjunction with the Exterminator?
The first option is a huge project, and the new ship would be enormous. However, equipping it with the technology of Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization would be a waste of resources. If they were to directly copy the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization Hu Yu and the others would find it hard to accept, and the amount of work involved in adding a new production line would also be considerable.
Hu Yu and everyone discussed for a long time but still couldn't reach a conclusion, so they simply put it aside for the time being. Anyway, now is a critical moment for the development of the fleet. As long as the fleet's technology advances, it won't be too difficult to either imitate or develop a new one.
The person who gained the most from analyzing the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships was Academician Zhou Xiaohua. Academician Zhou had been researching the four-dimensional problem for tens of thousands of years and had only barely solved the four-dimensional positioning problem using coordinate base stations. On the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships, Academician Zhou obtained more dimensional technologies. Although these technologies were not enough to reach the stage of Great Star Region Civilization, they were completely identical to human dimensional technologies in many ways.
