Chapter 1825: Chapter 573: The Shape-Shifting Researchers (6k)_2

"This is all thanks to the researchers’ own efforts..."

It wasn’t mere politeness; she had almost no involvement in these developments. Once the technical foundation was laid, the remaining research was all the researchers’ work.

After all, the creation of each weapon was their achievement, and combining new technology with existing weapon designs wasn’t particularly difficult.

The only problem was that the types of weapons we have are limited, and once a new one is developed, it’s one less to research.

This led the researchers to be especially keen on weapon research, almost competing to see who could achieve results first.

During this time, nearly a dozen new types of weapons were being developed every day.

It also allowed her to thoroughly understand the technical parameters of each weapon of the Three Great Civilizations through this research.

Although these weapons weren’t a secret in the Starry Sky, and even many hidden shops could possibly have them, the ones provided by the researchers were genuine "military goods."

Completely different from the generic ones.

Some were even entirely different internally, despite having the same appearance.

This unexpected finding was something Bai Yi herself hadn’t anticipated.

That’s why she chose to stay in the Space Station earlier, rather than hiding in her spaceship conducting her own research.

Of course, in the eyes of the Three Great Civilizations and their researchers, it simply looked like Fan Mao was working especially hard these days.

"Oh right, speaking of which, Fan Mao, when will those weapons truly be mass-produced?"

After a few casual remarks, the General Assembly President seemed to mention it unintentionally.

But immediately, the Emperor and the President beside him stopped smiling.

"Yes, although with these weapons now the Insect Swarm isn’t much of a threat, the Insect Swarm appearing in the Starry Sky is indeed becoming a battlefield risk.

If we don’t have the corresponding equipment by then, the Insect Swarm will still cause considerable intimidation.

It’s also time for the garrison in the Starry Sky to be equipped with some anti-Insect Swarm gear."

Indeed, that was their true intention...

Luckily, this was part of the plan from the very beginning.

After all, relying only on research without tangible results leads to unfulfilled promises; we need weapons in hand to feel confident...

"No problem, if necessary, I can have my people go back to the Starry Sky for a round of weapon performance tests.

I’m sure those researchers would love the opportunity for practical research..."

Having reached this point, the original idea of the three to refuse and conduct their own tests couldn’t be expressed, and after brief consideration, they changed their minds:

"Alright, let’s use this chance for the researchers from the three sides to compete and see whose equipment kills more of the Insect Swarm."

The President had just suggested it when the General Assembly President looked at him disdainfully.

"Hey, hey, if you just want to declare yourself the winner, just say so.

You guys have all those high-power destructive weapons, counting the number of kills? If there’s a competition, it should be about energy output efficiency..."

"Ha, you’re the one who wants to declare yourself the winner; everyone knows your Saien has the best energy utilization."

Perhaps because these weapons had restored their confidence and dispelled previous concerns.

Having cooperated for so long without competition, the three of them found themselves a bit carried away. Conveniently, this time the intelligence on all weapons was public, and targeting the Insect Swarm didn’t put anyone at a disadvantage.

It didn’t end as Bai Yi had expected, like how "Space Subbody" was merely briefly exposed last time.

"It seems the competitive spirit between the Three Great Civilizations hasn’t waned because of the war. My understanding of the Three Great Civilizations isn’t deep enough...

I’ve been considering them as a whole, neglecting the impact of the leaders on their civilizations.

Is it because there hasn’t been any conflict for so long, and this opportunity arose by chance, allowing them to focus on it?

However, they didn’t forget to block communications from the outside and remembered to isolate the sound within the room..."

Bai Yi observed the increasingly intense argument between the three, pondering quietly.

But the leaders’ quarrel wouldn’t cease due to her contemplation.

Since they decided to compete, none of the three families wanted to lose face by losing.

No one would yield to another, nor allow one side to set the rules most favorable to themselves.

Under Bai Yi’s stunned observation, the competition rules quickly transformed from a few simple constraints to a complex system involving a convoluted points calculation method that would ultimately determine the winner based on total points.

From the efficiency of using magic power, to the number of enemies killed, to the difficulty of manufacturing...

The initially few lines of rules gradually extended to several pages, even reaching ten pages.

It took a full ten minutes before Bai Yi, merely watching the show, finally welcomed the conclusion.

"So, are there no issues with the rules this time?"

"Hmph! No issues for me!"

"But, how do we conduct the actual competition? If we compete freely, it will eventually turn into a battle of fleets."

The Emperor’s objection brought silence from the other two. They knew this was true; without constraints, once the competition began, victory wouldn’t belong solely to the three of them.

It would easily go beyond the competition, transforming into a cannon clash between fleets in warfare, potentially forcing the recall of fleets from the battlefield.

"Well, maybe I can be in charge of hosting." Seeing an opportunity to interject, Bai Yi’s eyes gleamed, and she slightly raised her hand.
