This didn't have much impact on little Fang Xuan. Even after Fang Yuan returned, his approach remained the same: having little Fang Xuan learn from her older martial brothers and sisters. This was inevitable, as her current level wasn't high enough to assist Fang Yuan.

Even bringing her along was impossible. Doing so wouldn't help little Fang Xuan improve quickly; it might even hinder her progress. If little Fang Xuan hadn't chosen this path, Fang Yuan wouldn't have had so many demands. He would have been content as long as she lived a peaceful life.

But since she had chosen this path, she had to persevere. For a long time to come, he would be his daughter's greatest driving force, unless she could surpass him.

However, that possibility was incredibly slim. Let's put it this way: there were only a few people in this world with the potential to surpass him. But even those few would be affected by external factors and would need to have the same experiences as him. Even little Fang Xuan didn't have those conditions.

Until now, Fang Yuan hadn't felt his limit. Let's put it this way: although he couldn't see any hope of breaking through LV11, he could feel that he was constantly improving.

He showed no signs of stopping. This was his greatest advantage: no upper limit, or rather, his current abilities couldn't see where the upper limit was.

Based on this alone, his system was incomparable to others. Considering the current development of human civilization, perhaps in a few years, an Lv9 scientist would be born.

However, reaching his current level was temporarily impossible for human civilization. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was two eras ahead of human civilization, or even more. After all, the difference between LV9 and LV10 was like the difference between a well-trained soldier and a toddler learning to speak.

This was Fang Yuan's greatest feeling after entering the LV10 realm. He had said it many times before: with Fang Yuan's current level, there was nothing he couldn't do, unless it was something he didn't want to do.

For example, Fang Yuan was currently developing a space battleship. In this area, Fang Yuan used the Mobius civilization's warship as a blueprint, improving and upgrading it on that basis. Now, he had modified it beyond recognition. Apart from some details where the shadow of the Mobius civilization's warship could still be faintly seen, other aspects were completely unrecognizable. It was based on their modification.

Rather than saying it was based on their blueprint, it was more accurate to say that it was to save trouble, borrowing the other party's advantages to a certain extent and combining them with current human technology to create a warship belonging to human civilization.

According to Fang Yuan's plan, the first-generation warship would be able to achieve 80% of the Mobius civilization fleet's combat power in terms of combat effectiveness, but it would far exceed the other party in terms of defense capabilities.

The most crucial aspect was the power system. Previously, human warships were at a disadvantage in this area. Others could travel between star systems using the warship itself.

Currently, human civilization's warships have almost zero long-distance interstellar travel capabilities unless they use space technology to travel through space. However, the current space technology is still acceptable within the solar system. Fang Yuan couldn't guarantee what would happen if the range was expanded.

Of course, space battleships were just one direction, which didn't mean that humanity had given up on the development of space technology. Anyone with a brain knew that the prospects of space technology were much stronger than simple space battleships.

What's more, every space battleship was equipped with space technology, far exceeding the Mobius civilization's warships in terms of maneuverability. It was precisely for this reason that Fang Yuan was confident that he could achieve a combat power not much different from that of the Mobius civilization's warships.

In such a short period of time, he had already completed most of the design. The space technology assembly module, power module, defense module, and the overall design of the warship had all been completed. Now, all that was missing was the design of the intelligent driving module and the most critical weapon module.

The intelligent driving module wasn't urgent and could be completed last. This was also the easiest thing for Fang Yuan to complete. The headache was the weapon module.

Fang Yuan didn't want to get involved in this area before, so in this regard, he was a novice wearing orange equipment. His combat power was strong enough, but he lacked some experience.

It wasn't to say that if your strength was strong, you would definitely do better. Of course, Fang Yuan's strength was overwhelming. As long as he familiarized himself with it a little, he could surpass everyone.

In this regard, he still had absolute confidence. Let's put it this way: strength would determine the upper limit you could achieve in this area, and it would also raise your lower limit.

Even if you did poorly, you would be much stronger than experts who had been immersed in this area for a long time. What's more, Fang Yuan was just unwilling to enter this field, not that he really didn't know anything.

After a simple familiarization, Fang Yuan began his performance. In this world, no one was qualified to perform on the same stage as him. Now, he was beginning to look forward to whether anyone would be his opponent when humanity officially stepped onto the stage of the universe.

It wasn't that Fang Yuan was arrogant. Really, taking the Mobius civilization as an example, they definitely didn't have anyone stronger than him in terms of strength. Even if the overall progress of the other civilization exceeded them, Fang Yuan could feel that no one would be his opponent in terms of personal strength.

This was why he was fearless. As long as he was given some time, surpassing the other party would be a simple matter, not even a challenge.

However, from the other party's mouth, he learned about the existence of advanced civilizations, and those advanced civilizations were the greatest forces in this universe. The Mobius civilization was just a slightly stronger ant in front of them.

No matter how strong an ant was, it was still just an ant. Under absolute strength, it could only obey obediently. The Mobius civilization's current situation was like this. They were unwilling to accept this fact and wanted to shake those behemoths with the strength of an ant.

The war that they and the Arau civilization were about to begin was a warning to them from the advanced civilizations. The Mobius civilization had been causing a lot of trouble recently.

Don't think that they didn't know that the Mobius civilization was secretly studying how to advance to an advanced civilization? What a joke. There were already many advanced civilizations now.

If there was one more, it would be blatantly dividing their resources. The unchanging truth of this universe was that resources were king. An advanced civilization needed to consume extremely vast resources.

Therefore, as long as no advanced civilization perished, no new advanced civilization would be born. This was a tacit understanding among these advanced civilizations. However, the Mobius civilization now barely possessed this qualification. If they were ignored, they might really succeed.

Once the Mobius civilization succeeded, it would mean that the balance of the universe would be broken, and some people's interests would be divided by the Mobius civilization. This was something they couldn't accept.

Unless the universe expanded and gave birth to resources that could support a brand-new advanced civilization, this rule would not change for the time being.

What they didn't know was that if they were classified according to potential, human civilization was the most likely to become an advanced civilization. As long as they were given time, becoming an advanced civilization was a certainty.

As for the Mobius civilization, it was only temporarily strong. This was also good, with the other party attracting the attention of those advanced civilizations, humans could also take the opportunity to develop secretly.

However, human civilization didn't know about this yet. Even Fang Yuan hadn't predicted that the other party would become their greatest shield.

The Mobius civilization temporarily didn't see their potential, only thinking that they were not far from becoming an intermediate civilization. But if the advanced civilizations discovered them, they would definitely be able to see their potential clearly.

At that time, the Mobius civilization might not be their primary target, and Earth would become the new place where war would begin. At that time, humans would definitely have no way to resist.

The Mobius civilization was a behemoth to them, let alone the even more powerful advanced civilizations? The other party could easily defeat them.

However, once human civilization completely rose, it wouldn't be like this. No matter which advanced civilization it was, they wouldn't easily try to attack a civilization that was on the same level as them.

It was because they knew that at their level, who wouldn't have some trump cards? If they really pushed the other party too hard, no one could predict what the consequences would be.

Therefore, the best option for us now is to make a fortune in silence. Developing secretly is the key. Anyway, we currently have the technology to transform planets, and we can obtain a large amount of resources in a short period of time.

It's not just the technology to transform planets, but more of a combination of artificial intelligence and robotics technology, allowing us to be in a leading position in developing planets.

If we go all out, I believe there is a big gap between the Mobius civilization and us. However, artificial intelligence and robotics technology have developed to the current level, and there are many concerns.

If we continue to develop, will there be any serious consequences? No one can predict, not even Fang Yuan can guarantee this. In addition, we just received news about other civilizations from the Mobius civilization.

The words "mechanical civilization" lingered in people's minds. If we are not careful, will human civilization be replaced by these robots? This is a question worth considering.

Since this is the case, it is better to prevent this from happening at this stage. If it really reaches that point, it will not be something we can control if we want to. Anyway, the technology at the current stage is already enough to support the development needs of humans. Whether to go a step further, for humans, there is not much help.

So, currently, no one has paid much attention to this matter; it's merely sounded an alarm for humanity. If this continues, perhaps human civilization will truly become a member of a mechanical civilization in the near future.

It's not yet certain whether mechanical civilizations arise naturally or develop from other civilizations. However, one thing is certain: there's a way to become a mechanical civilization.

Just like human civilization, further advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, combined closely, could lead to a so-called mechanical civilization.

This isn't the outcome Fang Yuan desires. These technologies are merely tools in humanity's hands. We should master them and use them in the right direction.

Instead of being controlled by these tools in reverse, Fang Yuan feels he'd rather not develop these technologies at all if that were to happen!

It's not like there aren't other ways to progress besides this. For humanity, we're still in the foundation-laying stage. Even though Fang Yuan has drawn up the architectural blueprints, they're not unchangeable.

He has that ability. If he didn't, it might be troublesome. But honestly, no one can deny Fang Yuan's capabilities.

As a guide for civilization, he can't stand by and watch people go down the wrong path. Therefore, as soon as he detects something amiss, Fang Yuan will correct it immediately.

This might delay things somewhat, but in the long run, it's beneficial. Without Fang Yuan, going down the wrong path would be inevitable. Things are already good as they are now.

Of course, what Fang Yuan can do is guarantee humanity's progress in technology. In other aspects, he's powerless. In some ways, the development of human civilization still depends on itself.

Not on Fang Yuan as an individual. What he can do is ensure that humanity doesn't take detours in technology. However, currently, other aspects still need strengthening.

Leaving those aside for now, the design of the new Ares-class battleship is nearing completion. With Fang Yuan's personal involvement, the various systems have improved significantly compared to before. The current data is all calculated by Fang Yuan.

Compared to the actual data, the difference isn't significant, but it's not very convincing. Of course, this is from Fang Yuan's perspective. To others, the data Fang Yuan provides is virtually indistinguishable from the actual data.

He certainly deserves such trust. Based on the current data, the Ares-class isn't that far behind the Mobius civilization's main battleship, although it requires hundreds of times more resources.

This is unavoidable. Even if Fang Yuan is miraculous, he can't achieve the effect of using one unit of resource to achieve the effect of ten. At most, he can maximize the use of these resources.

He can even make one unit function as two. Perhaps when human technology advances further, he can make one unit function as three.

The new Ares-class is designed as the main warship. A fleet not only needs main battleships but also various auxiliary ships. And so, Fang Yuan is also seizing the time to design them.

While Fang Yuan is designing the auxiliary warships, all the military factories have already begun manufacturing the parts needed for the Ares-class, then transporting them all here for the final assembly of the Ares-class.

Fang Yuan's design is particularly good in this respect: the modular approach not only has good expansion capabilities but also reduces the difficulty in manufacturing.

It's not that others don't want to use this approach, but that no one else can do it yet except for him. This is the most awkward thing!

Everyone knows that doing so can achieve the best results, but in practice, no one can do it except Fang Yuan, who can completely eliminate the shortcomings of doing so.

Or rather, he compensates for the shortcomings brought about by doing so in certain aspects. This is why he can be called the greatest scientist in history—he can do things that others can't.

Only such a talent is qualified to be called the greatest scientist.
