Destroyer: Building a Dimensional Universe from Scratch

In the bustling modern city, Lu Chen, a hidden technology giant, proposed several possibilities for traveling beyond the speed of light - cutting-edge concepts such as curvature drive, hyperspace jump, wormhole crossing and interstellar jump.

The team around him, a group of smart and capable city elites, after in-depth discussion and analysis, chose a research direction that they believed to be the most feasible to explore, including advanced technologies such as gamma laser propulsion system, superluminal particle light spear, and jump engine.

They followed the scientific research process, first studying theories and building hypotheses, then drawing a preliminary design blueprint and handing it over to engineer Bri for production, and continuously optimizing the design based on the results of actual experiments.

Suddenly, Gray Wind brought a confidential research and development result from the world's top technology company, which was obtained from the spoils of her business competition with a mysterious rival. Just like having a complete set of textbooks, you only need to study and master them carefully to get twice the result with half the effort.

A cute little girl in charge of the scientific and technological research and development department was ecstatic about this. She translated and organized those documents day and night, and even carried out a detailed review and summary of the old but valuable scientific and technological achievements.

Although some data has been lost, this is undoubtedly much easier than independent research and development from scratch.

A few days later, Chishou Natsuyo gave Lu Chen a comprehensive report: "Mr. Lu, the information that Gray Storm brought us covers many core technologies of modern physics and engineering, especially in the manufacturing technology of nanorobots. Even by the standards of the interstellar era, it is at the top level."

She went on to explain: "It is particularly noteworthy that the ship designs she provided not only include flagship-class designs such as the Titan and Overlord classes, but also include a super-ship called the 'Colossus'."

Lu Chen sat up straight and motioned for Chishou Natsuyo to continue. "The Colossus is a huge spaceship used to destroy planets. It is not equipped with any conventional weapons, but a unique weapon specifically designed for planetary annihilation."

The little girl listed four types of this weapon: the star crusher can trigger a core explosion through high-energy rays and completely shatter the planet; the neutron extermination uses a high-energy neutron radiation stream to sweep across the surface of the planet, eliminating all organic life without damaging buildings and resources, which is very suitable for planetary occupation operations; the angel of happiness is a pacifist solution, using a low-speed black hole shield to blockade the planet and isolate it from the inside and outside; and the nano plague, Lu Chen speculated that it might be a star-destroying weapon developed by Gray Wind itself, which would convert all organic life on the planet into robots by releasing nanorobots.

Hearing this, Richelieu took the research report from Chishou Natsuyo and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He originally thought that he was just going to accept a new partner, but he didn't expect that Grey Wind would directly help their base achieve a technological leap, allowing them to have the possibility of developing Overlord-class and Colossus-class ships and star destroyer weapons.

Although some basic technologies are missing, this does not hinder their progress. After all, the Colossus is the Colossus, and it is a super battleship that can destroy stars!

"Not only that, I think there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of the Colossus. Theoretically, there should be weapons that can propel stars!" The little girl smacked her lips, then shook her head, sobered up, and patted her cheeks. "I mean, the Colossus is too large and bulky. We can try to disassemble its weapon system and apply it to conventional starships."

At this point, the holographic projection screen displayed some of the improvements discussed earlier: "Normally, it takes a lot of energy to recharge the Colossus's star destroyer weapons, so the entire ship is no longer equipped with other weapons. However, if we can use the energy of the Mind Cube, which is itself an energy source, plus additional reactors, then we can install Colossus weapons on conventional starships."

"Both Titan-class and Overlord-class starships can be equipped with star destroyer weapons."

The ship girls looked at each other, all shocked by this bold and innovative idea.

"The experiment is approved!" Lu Chen slapped the table excitedly and stood up, his heart surging. Faced with such a cool new plan, he couldn't stay calm.

He imagined that the "Ten Thousand Years of Snow" in the future would become an ultimate starship with star-destroying capabilities, able to build and repair starships anytime and anywhere, and with firepower comparable to that of a space fortress.

Chishou Natsuyo nodded and confirmed his guess: "Yes, this is almost close to the ultimate form of a conventional spacecraft. If we want to go further, we may only be able to create a super weapon like the Battle Moon or the Burning Heaven Weapon."

Lu Chen discovered that these scientific research lolita had learned a lot of amazing knowledge during this time. "How do you know these things?"

"Teacher Gray Wind told us. She seems to be very knowledgeable in this area and often tells us some knowledge about improving efficiency and eliminating organic matter."

Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Looking at this group of little girls who had received advanced education, he thought, "This is simply the rhythm of training Paradox war criminals from childhood!"

The research and development of the new ship was jointly undertaken by the scientific research team and Gray Wind. Designing a Dominant-class warship equipped with star destroyer weapons is a difficult task, especially considering that the Star Empire is still in the early stages of space development.

Fortunately, the reference materials brought by Gray Wind are rich and practical, and only some local adjustments need to be made on this basis. In terms of resources, there are tributes from various countries to support, and for the most difficult technological problems, there is a team of millions of engineers on standby at any time.

As long as there are sufficient resources and the design drawings are complete, both Lu Chen and his ship girls can see this brand new ship gradually taking shape.

In the engineering department within the star system, the scientific research lolita argue endlessly about the dominant design plan every day.

"The Overlord must be equipped with a star-crushing cannon! Not only can it shatter planets, but it can also fight against powerful enemies in interstellar wars!"

"Neutron annihilation! This way we can preserve the resources on the planet. We just need to clean up all the living things!"

"Listen to me, take them all! Install two modules! One star-crushing module, one killing module!"

"Hey, I've also heard that there's a star-destroying weapon that can reduce the enemy's intelligence to its primitive state. Why don't we study it?"

If an outsider who didn't know the truth heard the conversation between these little girls, they would probably be scared to death. But in fact, they had no ill intentions, they were just purely out of curiosity as scientists, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of various weapons from a technical perspective.

The ship girls present would sometimes join in the discussion with the little girls, just like choosing dishes on a menu, choosing which advanced weapon system to use for their future warships.

At this moment, everyone is eagerly looking forward to a new round of large-scale fleet transformation plan. With the implementation of this plan, they are confident that they can build their fleet into an interstellar force in the Star Age.

After submitting the fleet modernization plan to scientific research expert Lin Xiaoxiao, he gradually became familiar with Xiaohui and the team members, and the matter came to a temporary end. Taking advantage of the interval between designing new ships, everyone's attention returned to the previously interrupted urban expansion plan.

Lu Fan expressed his views to everyone in the luxurious conference room of the group headquarters. "We will divide the next work into two parts." He knocked on the conference table.

“First, we need to continue to expand the boundaries of the city and use drone technology to conduct in-depth surveys of surrounding undeveloped areas to see if there are potential land resources or emerging business formats that can occupy a place in our urban landscape.

"At the same time, we must speed up the construction of the two major projects, 'Heart of the Sea' and 'Vientiane City', and start to comprehensively upgrade and develop and utilize all areas of the city.

In this first-tier city with no mysterious dimensions, no alien creatures, and only Xiao Hui as a unique existence, Lu Fan feels both familiar and unfamiliar. Although there are no competitors competing for resources here, large-scale urban planning and expansion still require detailed research and exploration.

"Secondly, we need to formulate corresponding strategic plans for the five potential sites we have recently discovered in the '181 Resort'."

He cleared his throat and continued, "I plan to tackle these five projects one by one in order from simple to complex. Among them, 'Fashion Shopping Plaza' and 'Machang Avenue' are relatively easy, and only a professional team needs to be sent to complete the preliminary inspection and take over.

The "Fantasy Business Circle" is relatively complex and may require the dispatch of an elite team for in-depth negotiations and cooperation. As for the most difficult "Magical Girl Central Park" project, we need to carefully plan and lay out in advance, and solve it last.

"If everything goes well, we can consider inviting the 'Principle of the Circle' to participate in the 'Wasteland Reconstruction Plan' and let Madoka help us deal with possible risks together."

On the high-definition projection screen, Lu Fan showed a detailed project promotion plan. Among them, "Machang Avenue" does not require too much manpower, and can be easily taken over by sending partners; just like the previous "Cat Town" and "Campus Hegemony" projects, such places do not require him to show up in person.

As for the ship girls of the "Fleet Street View" project, Lu Fan decided to go there in person so as to better contact the local partners - the ship girls and deep-sea forces and strive to reach a cooperation agreement to lead them back to the core area of ​​the city.

"Great! There are new projects to develop!" Representatives from the Blue Group and Canglan Group were talking excitedly. Sister Li then gave them a detailed introduction to the "Fleet Street View" project.

The project originated from a city that lost control of the sea, and monsters called "deep sea battleships" emerged from the depths of the ocean. The only force to fight these threats is the female heroes called "Urban Ship Girls", who protect the prosperity of the city with advanced technology.

"The enemy's strength is roughly equivalent to the level of a modern navy, and it does not pose much of a challenge to us." Xiao Hui came to the conclusion after flipping through the relevant information.

"That's right. We will work together with the city ship girls to eliminate the threat of deep-sea battleships and bring them back to our city alliance to complete this mission goal."

Lu Fan said: "In addition, we must remain friendly when contacting the northern warship forces and try to introduce some powerful warship girls to join our camp."

There is no need to invest too much energy in integrating those cities that are weak and lack high-level strategic value. He frankly stated that he was indeed very interested in the ship girls in "Fleet Street View", especially Mrs. Shokaku and Miss Shimakaze, who were all the rage back then.

"Commander, I have a suggestion." Gudako quietly reminded Lu Fan through the internal communicator: "I heard that the ship girls generally have a high degree of favorability towards the commander, right?"

Lu Fan nodded: "That's right."

"Then in the future, there will be shipgirls from three worlds in our base. Can your charm still hold up? Be careful that the base will be filled up by other shipgirls."

Lu Fan smiled, and after a moment's silence, he responded, "Just kidding, as long as the super mode of the Ten Thousand Years Snowstorm is activated, no matter how many ship girls there are, it can be easily accommodated. If it doesn't work, I can also add another core system to achieve a three-core drive."

After the plan for the "Fleet Street View" project and the selection of expedition members were completed, night fell quietly. The various fleet girls returned to their respective areas. The heroes and elves were not interested in this kind of modern urban project, so they did not participate in the discussion.

"Ah - the new project is really exciting." Lu Fan leaned back on the luxurious massage chair in the office and took a long breath. Imagining the spectacular scene of the ship girls from three worlds responding to the order in the future, he couldn't help but feel full of motivation.

This is the real urban navigator!

"Yixian, remember to inform Bree tomorrow and ask her to build a new naval base in the Gold Coast area for the use of the ship girls of 'Fleet Street View'."

"Will there be a chance to encounter other 'Fleet Series' cities in the future? Then we can establish a United Kingdom of Shipgirls covering the entire city alliance. It's amazing to think about it."

He began to envision a future in which he would be surrounded by all kinds of shipgirls: Hikari on ship B, Lexington on ship R, and Shokaku on ship C. It would feel extremely harmonious and beautiful.

"Commander, I can see that you really like them." Yixian brought a cup of hot tea and placed it on Lu Fan's desk, speaking gently.

Lu Fan smiled and replied: "Isn't this normal?"

He put his arms around Yixian's slender waist, and the girl sat obediently on his thighs, a faint fragrance wafting into her nose.

"You always miss the ship girls in other worlds, and you haven't spent enough time with them for a long time.
