Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

He walked alone to the huge panoramic porthole, looked down at the green planet that was riddled with holes but was now completely safe, and began to make plans in his mind.

Although he was satisfied with the NPCs' performance today, it also exposed a serious real problem.

"We are still far from having enough manpower."

Xu Tian sighed inwardly.

He had just done a simple arithmetic in his mind.

Each of these standard Starsea-class destroyers alone requires fifty skilled operators to be responsible for various positions such as navigation, fire control, radar, and energy shields.

This doesn't even include the backup replacement personnel prepared to deal with emergencies.

More importantly, the security of the entire warship must also be in place.

When a warship travels through interstellar space, it is inevitable that it will encounter attacks from interstellar pirates or engage in wars with other advanced civilizations.

If there are not enough security personnel inside the warship, and an elite enemy squad breaks into the core area of ​​the bridge, the warship will be completely destroyed.

Even if the goal is to dig up the warship into blocks and take it away, at least an elite security force would be needed to hold it off in front, buying enough time for the commander to carry out the evacuation operation.

Including operators and security personnel, a warship requires at least 300 to 500 permanent personnel.

It would be fine under normal circumstances, but what is Xu Tian's goal?

It is to build a massive fleet that can traverse the stars.

"If I were to build a combined fleet of 10,000 warships, I would need a full three to five million qualified crew members."

Xu Tian rubbed his temples.

"At present, the total population of the entire Aisilia territory, including its various affiliated cities, is only tens of millions. After deducting the old, weak, sick and disabled, and leaving enough manpower for agricultural production and infrastructure construction, the able-bodied young and strong labor force that can be mobilized is simply a drop in the ocean."

If things were done this way, let alone a fleet of ten thousand ships, even assembling a force of one hundred warships would be a huge problem.

Although the humans in this world also have the ability to reproduce.

However, the human growth cycle is simply too long.

It takes at least a decade or two to train a baby from birth to becoming a qualified warship operator capable of operating independently.

This is far too slow for the All-Heavens Guild, which is eager to expand its territory.

Therefore, the current situation is very clear: there is only one way to save this human race in a short period of time.

That is to explore outwards, to see where there are still scattered human ruins or human civilizations enslaved by other races in this vast galaxy, and then bring them all back to enrich our population pool.

"But this still requires a lot of reconnaissance and time."

Xu Tian's mind raced.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration cleaved through the fog in his mind like lightning.

"Wait, how could I have forgotten about that?"

Xu Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

He suddenly remembered a god-level module that looked like something out of anime but could actually perfectly solve the current labor shortage.

"The famous Maid Mod from Touhou Project in its previous life"

Xu Tian became more and more excited as he thought about it.

In Minecraft, the Touhou Maids, who are jokingly referred to as "wives" by players, are not just decorative figures to be displayed at home.

They are essentially highly intelligent AI entities generated by the system.

In the original mod, these maids could wield swords to slay zombies, fight monsters, and defend their homes.

If, after loading certain weapon modules, they are even able to wield Gatling guns, activate the system's built-in auto-aim headlock function, and transform into ruthless terminators.

Therefore, given the game's incredibly complex underlying fusion logic, it is entirely feasible to have these tireless, absolutely loyal, and highly capable learning and computing maids from Touhou Project learn and operate interstellar warships built with Industry 3.0 modules.

"That makes perfect sense."

"In the game, you shoot and lock onto the head; now, you launch a warship and blow up a planet."

Xu Tian had already sketched out that scene in his mind.

Tens of thousands of interstellar warships were deployed in formation, and inside each warship, a uniform array of female servants were precisely operating various instruments.

This not only directly and perfectly solved the huge problem of insufficient population and inability to mass-produce troops among the Eshilian people, but also incidentally solved the security problem inside the warship.

Equip the maids with top-tier magical weapons; anyone who dares to enter will be killed instantly.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian did not hesitate at all and immediately waved his hand, bringing up the system panel in mid-air.

A flash of blue light appeared on the holographic panel, and rows of densely packed data and item icons emerged.

Xu Tian's gaze swept quickly over the basic modules, and finally, his eyes were fixed on one of the high-end product icons that was radiating a dazzling golden light.

【CarWan Robotics (Advanced Intelligent AI Architecture)】

[Function Description: Construct lifeforms equipped with top-tier learning chips and combat cores can perform high-precision automated construction, complex mechanical/warship control, and absolute defense protection with various weapons. They possess 100% loyalty and cluster network sharing awareness.]

Price: 10 Energy Points

"hiss".

Looking at the line of text at the bottom of the screen displaying the price, even Xu Tian, ​​who was incredibly wealthy and hadn't shown any reaction to a 200,000 RMB reward just moments before, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"One hundred thousand energy points?"

Xu Tian cursed inwardly.

However, after a brief period of shock and heartache, Xu Tian quickly calmed down.

"It's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth the money. The only obstacle now is that we don't have enough energy points."

Xu Tian turned his head and glanced out the window at the planet [A-2-6] that they had just plowed up.

"It's alright. We just blasted so many monsters to death down there. Once the guild brothers have rested, we'll lead the NPC army down for a thorough sweep and cleanup, collecting all the monster corpses and remains. The energy points we get from that will be more than enough."

At that time, all I need to do is casually promote the selling point of the maid driver, and I'll definitely be able to rake in a wave of gold coins accumulated in the pockets of all the players on the server.

With this huge sum of money and resources back in, he can continue to hire people.

"A perfect plan."

Xu Tian snapped his fingers and closed the system panel.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the red high-priority message notification flashing in the guild communication channel.

Upon opening it, I saw the latest report from the guild's senior members who remained in the main city of Eshilia to coordinate logistics.

Chapter 363 Production Line

[Guild Leader, the large-scale, fully automated production line for warship materials, jointly built by the Heavens Guild and the Civilization Guild, is currently under construction. Guild Leader Xiao Heihei is personally supervising the construction on-site.]

Upon seeing this message, Xu Tian felt even more cheerful.

When it came to building this automated production line, he immediately decided to collaborate deeply with the Civilization Guild.

After all, this kind of thing is extremely beneficial to both sides.

If this fully automated production line can be successfully put into operation, the speed at which the two guilds manufacture warships will skyrocket.

What used to require hundreds of people to manually hammer and hammer for a whole day to barely assemble a warship, may now be able to roll off the assembly line in just a few hours with a fully armed destroyer.

With such terrifying industrial capacity as a backing, they will have an endless supply of warships to use in future interstellar wars, truly overwhelming all enemies with a steel torrent.

"Things here are settled. It's time to go back and see how the core artery for future hegemony is progressing."

Thinking of this, Xu Tian immediately turned around and sent a broadcast in the guild channel.

"Attention all online members, the warship is currently docked on planet [A-2-6]. All guild members and any NPC teams recruited later can teleport directly to the warship through the Ender Chest in the main city, and then land on this planet to carry out the cleanup and recovery of the monster remains."

After handing over the final tasks, Xu Tian found Qin Fengxue, who had also just finished organizing the data.

The two did not linger in the giant steel ship, but walked side by side to the Ender Chest and jumped in.

With a familiar dizziness, when the purple light before their eyes dissipated, Xu Tian and Feng Xue had successfully teleported back to the bustling main city of Aisilia, a city filled with a blend of medieval fantasy and industrial punk.

As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, the two immediately summoned their mounts and sped through the bustling streets toward a vast open area on the outskirts of the main city.

That's where the fully automated production line was located.

This is crucial to the future interstellar hegemony of the All-Heavens Guild, and can be said to be of paramount importance at present.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination.

Looking around, this place, which was originally a desolate plain, has now been completely leveled.

Countless massive scaffolding structures towered into the clouds, and players and NPC craftsmen moved back and forth on the construction site like industrious ants.

As soon as Xu Tian and Feng Xue approached the massive core construction area, they spotted that familiar figure amidst a pile of complex blueprints and holographic projections.

She was a tall woman with short, ear-length hair and dressed smartly.

She was frowning, holding a pointer pen, sketching and calculating on the holographic drawing, while simultaneously explaining something rapidly to several engineers from the Civilization Guild wearing hard hats around her.

"Hey, Sister Hei, busy?"

Xu Tian walked forward with a smile and greeted him loudly.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yang Qinyu stopped what she was doing and turned around.

Upon seeing that it was Xu Tian and Qin Fengxue, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face, which had been somewhat serious due to fatigue.

"Hey, isn't this our Interstellar Conquerors World Association President? What brings you two back to our home planet? Didn't you blow up a few more aliens out there?"

Yang Qinyu teased, half-jokingly.

Qin Fengxue stepped forward and said with a smile.

"I'm just worried about the progress here; your side is the lifeline of our future."

Yang Qinyu sighed helplessly, pointed to the two huge metal conveyor belts that had just been erected behind her, and said.

"You've come at the right time. The difficulty of setting up this production line is even more exaggerated than I expected. This is not a simple matter of building blocks. It involves the underlying logic mutual exclusion problem of Industry 3.0 modules."

She tapped the screen with the pointer.

"Currently, our two guilds are working day and night, and we have only managed to set up the most basic production lines: the outer shell armor stamping line and the energy circuit etching line."

"To fully develop a fully automated production line that covers all complex materials such as engines, main guns, and shields, and form a complete closed loop, it may take quite a long time. You should be prepared for that."
