I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 304 Preparing to Set Sail
Fewer than 1 people survived on Kyushu.

After returning to the ark, they suppressed their grief and threw themselves into the intense and busy reconstruction work.

The entire Ark renovation plan was overturned. The tight timeframe and harsh reality forced them to give up some things.

In the Ark's core conference room, Hardy smoked one e-cigarette after another.

The air purification system has been damaged, and pale purple smoke fills the conference room.

In the entire conference room, only Lin Xiaohe had her virtual screen turned on.

Everyone else was watching the Ark on the screen.

There's no other way; to conserve energy, everyone has to tighten their belts. If everyone were to use virtual screens, it would be such a waste of resources.

Hardy coughed twice, his voice tinged with exhaustion: "According to calculations, our resources are insufficient to complete the original Ark conversion. I suggest cutting off the living areas of each civilization and race and uniformly converting them into crew cabins, providing only hibernation pods for basic life support. This will save space and resources."

Lin Xiaohe glanced at everyone in the conference room: "Let's vote."

Lin's mother and three representatives of maritime civilization were the first to raise their hands: "Agreed."

Asking a marine creature to abandon water and live in a dry, cramped hibernation pod is indeed asking the impossible.

But those who awaken to the maritime civilization deeply understand that when faced with life and death, what is the point of considering comfort?

Mr. Lin raised his hand: "I have no objection."

Representative of the Wu tribe civilization: "Agreed."

Ordinary people have no objection.

The proposal to eliminate the residential area was passed unanimously.

Hardy breathed a sigh of relief.

When one's strength is greatly diminished, there is a fear that each civilization may harbor selfish motives. Fortunately, everyone can distinguish what is more important than what is not.

Hardy continued, "Secondly, we propose reducing the overall size of the Ark to one-third of its original size. This way, we can save some resources for emergencies."

The monument indicates that the collapse of the universe has reached 35%.

The Ark's speed couldn't keep up with the giant whales, and they were located in the Dark Domain, with nothing in the nearby 5th and 6th Star Rings.

No one could be sure how long the voyage would take to reach the next supply depot.

Lin Xiaohe could explore the area using the fourth dimension, but with the collapse process reaching 35%, she dared not wander recklessly. What if she accidentally entered an already collapsed area? She would be doomed!

The proposal was passed unanimously once again.

The next step involves key renovations in each area.

Because the Zerg's outer shell has demonstrated its defensive capabilities in dealing with the Aura attacks, scientists have proposed increasing the original single shell to two layers, and grinding the saved Void Devourer shells into powder to be used as an energy conduit layer on all armor surfaces to increase their defensive capabilities.

Lin Xiaohe made the decision: "No problem."

Previously, the skeleton of the Ark of All Things was made from a special metal derived from the [Source Body] of the Rock Clan.

Scientists have discovered that while the Aura people's curved aircraft caused some damage, it was not fatal.

"I suggest increasing the thickness of the skeleton and deeply integrating it with the active tissues of the insectoids at key nodes to form a constantly pulsating biological-mineral composite armor."

Such a skeleton would possess terrifying self-repair and adaptive evolutionary capabilities.

Lin Xiaohe nodded in agreement.

Next came the highlight of the meeting. Through the battle with the Aura, everyone discovered the most fatal flaw in the Ark of All Things.

The Ark's attack capabilities are way too weak!
Previously, they considered the Stardust humans and Lin Xiaohe as their main fighting force, believing that with them around, the safety of the Ark was not a concern at all.

But reality gave everyone a resounding slap in the face.

Lin Xiaohe possesses a Conan-like quality, frequently encountering unexpected events. Of course, it's not that everyone thinks Lin Xiaohe is unlucky; rather, they firmly believe that those despicable extraterrestrial civilizations are targeting their great leader!
As for the Stardust Humans... they are still not strong enough.

Therefore, the Ark must have a certain offensive capability to cope with enemy attacks in extreme situations.

The awakened members of the Wu tribe offered to set up psionic focusing arrays on the ark's outer shell, with Wu tribe runes etched on these arrays.

Grandma Lin: "As the process of the universe's collapse accelerates, the abilities and knowledge of our Witch Clan Awakeners are also recovering at an accelerated pace. Psionic runes are a commonly used empowerment method in our Witch Clan civilization."

This is really good news.

Hardy exclaimed excitedly, "That's fantastic! We can remove the Ark's observation windows and non-combat structures, turning it into a mobile war fortress, with every protrusion serving as a weapon or sensor!"

Xiao Hei also stated, "I can provide a Zerg Mega Chamber."

The giant cavity is powerful, but unfortunately, it can only be used when the enemy enters it on their own, or you can try to set up a few capture arms around it, as its attack range is limited.

Lin's mother's eyes lit up: "Our maritime civilization has a technology that can turn the attack range into a beam of light."

She pursed her lips, looking embarrassed, and said, "This technology was just transmitted over."

They acquired the technology when the collapse process jumped to 36%.

“We can use the giant cavity to modify the gene dissociation beam. Within the irradiation range, all carbon-based and silicon-based life structures will rapidly decompose into primitive biomass.”

A gasp of surprise rippled through the conference room.

That's fucking amazing!

If they had had the gene dissociation beam earlier, those Aura people would have died one by one, or two by two!
Lin's mother quickly said, "The beam of light has a defect; the charging time is extremely long."

Lin Xiaohe finally smiled: "In the face of powerful attacks, a long charging time is not a disadvantage."

Weasley spoke up, "We've communicated with the Sonic Whales and can deploy more close-in weapon systems, missile pods, and point defense lasers on the Ark. The Sonic Whales will use their Whale Song detection system to provide us with fire control guidance without blind spots, forming an absolutely dense barrage of interceptor fire."

Everyone racked their brains and brought out their most treasured skills.

A rough calculation shows that Ark has at least three main attack methods, with its attack capabilities increasing exponentially.

That's the general direction; the specific details will be finalized after practical implementation.

One proposal after another was voted on at full speed, either passed or rejected.

"I suggest that the original living area be converted into a high-intensity war simulation training ground and weapons maintenance workshop."

"The ecological park can be transformed into a nutrient solution synthesis factory and an insect biomass culture pool."

The importance of the Zerg to the Ark is self-evident. Everyone unanimously agreed to allocate resources to the Zerg.

As the meeting drew to a close, after considering all the proposals, the Ark was no longer the original streamlined design, but instead presented an asymmetrical, angular, and menacing form.

Like a huge, spiked skeleton in the universe, its overall color scheme is the dark gray-black of the Rock Race and the deep black-purple of the Zerg carapace.

It is no longer a sanctuary for civilization, but rather the sharpest spear and the strongest shield that civilization forged in order to survive in the cruel universe!

Lin Xiaohe stood up, glanced at everyone, and said firmly, "Modifying the Ark is the top priority for all members! Once the modification is complete, we will set sail!"

"On behalf of all members, I hereby name the Ark... the Arbiter!"
