Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Yanjing, still in that small building.

It was heavily guarded, and high-ranking officials attending the meeting had to undergo virus screening.

Inside the building, the leader was looking at a document, surrounded by important figures.

"Changshun, you are the Minister of Health, what do you think we should do next?" the leader asked with a frown.

Zheng Changshun stood up with a solemn expression, outlining his upcoming plans.

"Leader, according to our research on the virus, its incubation period is at least 1 month. We first discovered a carrier of the virus who died two days ago. This period spans about 1 month. After studying the virus found on his body, leading to the outbreak of symptoms and eventual death, our medical experts have concluded that this virus has an extremely high mortality rate, and the final critical stage is very short, posing a great challenge to treatment!"

"Therefore, my suggestion is to conduct a large-scale virus screening to identify infected patients and isolate them for treatment."

The dignitaries all frowned.

The leader took a sip of tea and said in a solemn tone:

"Is this the only way?"

...

Chen Yu was unaware of the events happening on Earth.

Two days later, his Homeworld-class spaceship successfully arrived at Venus.

[Captain, we have arrived at Venus. The Homeworld-class spaceship is in near-Venus orbit. Should we dispatch transport ships and mining robots?]

Chen Yu waved his hand!

"Alright, deploy the robots!"

Then, through the glass of the command room, Chen Yu saw densely packed mining robots.

There were also hundreds of newly built mining transport ships flying towards the surface of Venus.

[Captain, according to our previous probes, we have identified a super nickel-titanium ore deposit on Venus. We estimate to mine nearly 500 million tons of ore this time. The nickel-titanium content of these ores exceeds 50%. After refining, we can basically build all the outer walls, and even the internal structures, of an underground shelter.]

"Good, no wonder it's Earth's good buddy planet, so rich in resources!"

Before Chen Yu set off, he built dozens of space probes and sent them to dozens of rocky planets within Jupiter's orbit.

Once useful mineral resources were detected, they would send information back to the AI.

These rocky planets in the solar system were quite rich in resources, basically having any element Chen Yu wanted.

Thus, Chen Yu stayed in the command room, watching the densely packed transport ships shuttling between the spaceship and Venus.

These transport ships were about 50 meters long, only having a cargo hold and a small nuclear fusion engine, maximizing the loading capacity.

Each trip could transport 300 tons of ore.

[Captain, currently all 20,000 mining robots have been deployed, and 500 transport ships are participating in the work. It is estimated to take 5 days to mine 500 million tons of ore.]

"Alright then, I'll go to the cultivation room to bask in the sun."

Chen Yu went to the special cultivation room he had built for himself, a cabin made of high-molecular reinforced glass, allowing sunlight to enter.

Here, Chen Yu could bask in the sun to his heart's content, absorbing cosmic energy.

Chen Yu sat cross-legged on the platform in the middle, closed his eyes, and began to feel the energy in the sunlight.

Venus is closer to the sun than Earth, so the solar radiation here is much stronger than on Earth.

Fortunately, the cabin glass could adjust the amount of sunlight and radiation entering.

Chen Yu adjusted it to a comfortable level and absorbed it to his heart's content.

In less than 1 hour, Chen Yu felt his body was full.

"The radiation here is indeed strong, I'm full so quickly."

With a thought, Chen Yu turned the transparent glass black, blocking all sunlight.

After absorbing cosmic energy this time, Chen Yu felt some changes in his body.

He subconsciously raised his hand, looked at his fingertip, and suddenly a wisp of blue flame formed by energy condensed on his fingertip.

Chen Yu widened his eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief!

"AI, what is this? Could this be what you said about releasing internal energy? This is too incredible!"

[Captain, congratulations, you have realized how to release the cosmic energy within your body. When you become stronger, you can use this energy to attack.]

"True energy release, have I already entered the Grandmaster realm! Hahaha!" Chen Yu joked.

[Captain, your current energy release can at most light a cigarette. Captain, you still need to practice. You haven't even reached the mid-stage of a Tier 2 interstellar life form! However, Captain, your comprehension is quite good. You actually comprehended energy release in the early stage of Tier 2. You can be considered a genius.]

"Hahaha, it seems I am that one-in-a-million genius!"

[Ew~~!]

"AI, what was that sound just now?"

[Captain, I just felt a little nauseous, disgusted by your arrogant words.]

"You're just an intelligent program, what's there to throw up!"

...

3 days later, Earth, Yanxia.

Large-scale virus screenings suddenly began across the country, and major cities began building isolation hospitals.

On the first day alone, 5 million virus carriers were screened out.

In addition to the makeshift hospitals under construction, all major tertiary hospitals were requisitioned to create temporary isolation zones.

In just three days, the entire Yanxia was in a state of panic. Was another virus making a comeback?

Fortunately, Yanxia's official media used both emotional appeals and logical reasoning, and the public had experienced the baptism of a virus epidemic a few years ago.

People were very cooperative, after all, no one wanted to cause trouble for the country at this time.

After three consecutive days of screening, the number of people diagnosed with the new virus soared from 5 million to 10 million.

If this continued, no matter how many hospitals were built, they would not be able to meet the treatment demand.

Yanjing, in the highest-level conference room.

The leader and the top figures were sitting together.

Participants included the Ministry of Health, the Biochemical Research Institute, and the presidents of the best tertiary hospitals in the country.

"The situation is now pressing, you are all medical experts, what should we do now!"

The leader was recently somewhat exhausted and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

The participating medical experts all had grim expressions. The virus had come too fiercely, catching people off guard.

Moreover, the mortality rate was quite high. Currently, hundreds of people were dying every day, with a mortality rate exceeding 90%.

That is to say, once infected with this virus, the mortality rate is almost certain after 1 month.

Zheng Changshun, the Minister of Health, suggested:

"Leader, we have not yet found a specific medicine or treatment method for this virus. We can only use conventional methods to increase the patient's resistance and allow them to overcome the virus themselves. However, this virus is spreading too quickly. Even with the combined medical resources of the entire country, it is difficult to curb the spread. I suggest seeking international assistance!"

Just after Zheng Changshun made the suggestion, an expert from the Yanxia Biochemical Research Institute stood up, took out a report and said:

"I have a research report on the identity information of confirmed virus cases, and I think everyone needs to take a look!"
