With the energy shield from the Redemption-class command ship, the overwhelming sandstorm did not cause any damage to the two spacecraft.

After the sandstorm, which lasted the entire night, subsided, the valley, which had been dead for about two thousand years, quickly became lively.

In just two days, the entire valley turned into a massive construction site.

As the first world of the second phase of the穿越 plan, the most valuable part of "Prometheus" was not actually the "Engineer" technology system and spacecraft.

For Liu Rui'an, using alien technology systems was quite troublesome, let alone integrating them into his own technology system.

Take the Kryptonian technologies obtained from "Man of Steel" for example, it was absolutely no problem to manufacture these devices by following the blueprint.

However, so far, the Star Elves have not been able to fully integrate these Kryptonian technologies into their own technology tree, and can only start a new "branch" and then slowly conduct research.

On the contrary, the technology possessed by the Weyland Corporation behind the Prometheus, although indeed very advanced, is ultimately based on human science.

In this case, the relevant technologies can not only be used immediately but can also be directly integrated into the existing technology tree of the Star Elves.

Of course, the value of alien technology and spacecraft is still extremely high. Apart from the biotechnology for creating humans and breeding Xenomorphs, just the engine and energy technology of the alien spacecraft alone is worth the price.

Not to mention the detailed star map and the "black liquid" that created the vicious Xenomorph, which is even more valuable.

In just two days, only the Redemption-class command ship and one "Engineer" spacecraft remained in the valley.

As for the remaining "Engineer" spacecraft and the Prometheus, sorry, they have already been "eaten" by the nanobots and turned into raw materials.

In addition, the metal veins discovered near the valley by the reconnaissance drones were also mined on a large scale by the nanomining equipment.

Don't think that Liu Rui'an only brought one Redemption-class command ship this time. With nanomining and manufacturing technology, as long as there are enough raw materials and time, building a massive fleet is not a problem.

Actually, this time when Liu Rui'an crossed over to the "Prometheus" world, he could have directly crossed over to the inside of the Prometheus.

Then, he could control the Prometheus using a portable quantum computer, without the need for such trouble.

However, considering that the "Prometheus" world would become an important research plane in the crossing plan, to establish a sufficiently powerful force in a short time, bringing a Redemption-class command ship became a necessity.

In the subsequent construction, development, and research process, the Star Elves fully analyzed and studied the technologies on the "Engineer" spacecraft and the Prometheus, and absorbed them as quickly as possible.

As for the large amount of "black liquid," Liu Rui'an did not rush to study it but temporarily put it on the "back burner."

There was no choice; this thing was too dangerous.

Didn't the "Engineers" even kill themselves with it? Although the value of this thing is indeed very high, it is currently quite useless, at least for now.

With a complete product available, the first technology developed by the Star Elves was the faster-than-light engine.

Yes, one of the key target technologies for this crossing was the faster-than-light engine.

Actually, Liu Rui'an did have similar technology, such as the hyperspace engine technology obtained from "Man of Steel."

However, the problem was that this hyperspace engine technology, although advanced, was completely different from the human technology tree.

Moreover, using this hyperspace engine technology required the corresponding star map and deep space probes for positioning.

Otherwise, a slight mistake could result in the spacecraft being teleported directly into a planet's core or plunging into a star.

In comparison, the faster-than-light engine on the Prometheus, although not very advanced and could only reach about fifteen times the speed of light, was still a better choice.

This can be inferred from the fact that the distance between Earth and LV-223 is 327 trillion kilometers, and the Prometheus only took a little over two years to arrive.

To say that this faster-than-light engine technology, let alone compared to the Kryptonian hyperspace engine, even the faster-than-light engine on the "Engineer" spacecraft is incomparable.

However, the good thing is that although this technology is a bit outdated, it is based on human fundamental science.

This is why the Star Elves were able to develop a new generation of engines in just a few days, using the faster-than-light engine on the Prometheus as a blueprint and combining it with their own technological reserves.

Moreover, the best technology is naturally for their own use. Liu Rui'an is not foolish enough to install the most advanced hyperspace engine technology even on a cargo ship that only operates within a star system.

For those spacecraft that only operate within a star system, let alone the hyperspace engine, Liu Rui'an would not even equip them with a faster-than-light engine. Installing a fission-based nuclear pulse propulsion system and a nanoplasmic pulse assist unit would be sufficient.

While the Star Elves were quickly digesting the technology obtained this time, the research on the live specimen "Engineer" also made a breakthrough.

Thanks to quantum network technology, the digitized "Engineer" had no resistance against the Star Elves, and his entire life's memories were easily read.

With these memories, whether it was the "Engineer's" language or the knowledge he had learned, the Star Elves recorded everything in the quantum database.

With this data, the Star Elves quickly designed a starship integrating all the most advanced technologies.

If a player of "EVE" were present, they would find that the new starship built by the Star Elves, in terms of appearance, is extremely similar to the Amarr's Ark-class strategic freighter.

Of course, the Star Elves would not build a freighter for their master.

This starship, which Liu Rui'an lazily named the Ark, is one kilometer long, 200 meters high, and 150 meters wide.

Without mentioning other functions, the engine alone has as many as five types.

Including the anti-gravity engine, nanoplasmic pulse assist unit, sublight engine, faster-than-light engine, and hyperspace engine.

In terms of energy, there are three types: fuel cells, nuclear fusion reactors, and a power system specifically designed for the Cosmic Cube.

Although fuel cells are only auxiliary energy sources, and the Cosmic Cube energy system is more of a decoration, the nuclear fusion reactor is the main power source. However, it cannot be denied that the power system of this starship is quite powerful.

As for the reactors used by the "Engineer" spacecraft and Kryptonian energy, they were eliminated because the raw materials are specialties of their respective planes and cannot be widely used across multiple planes.

Fortunately, although these energy systems were eliminated, the related technologies still provided some inspiration and reference for the development of new energy sources.

However, Liu Rui'an did not plan to bring the Ark-class battleship back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at least not for now.

The reason is simple: from a certain perspective, the various alternate planes, including "Prometheus," are like storage spaces, and they are even of the type that can store living things and have infinite volume.

Thor has not yet provided the star map, and he needs to borrow the Asgard route to reach Xandar. In this situation, bringing a one-kilometer-long battleship would be nothing but trouble.

Although the crossing can only happen once a month, with nanotechnology, as long as there are enough raw materials, rebuilding a massive fleet is just a matter of time.

Not to mention that on Xandar, as long as you have money, you can buy a starship.

Even if you can't buy one, you can go to the Collector's "Wasteland," where the environment is like a black market, and as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.

While the Star Elves were building the Ark-class battleship, Liu Rui'an did not forget the few characters who had become loyal followers.

However, for the original male and female protagonists, Liu Rui'an had no good feelings at all.

To a certain extent, the Prometheus' death trip was caused by these two.

What made Liu Rui'an the most depressed was that the female protagonist not only had no safety awareness herself but also prevented others from having it.

Someone brought a weapon as a precaution, but the female protagonist's one word made it disappear.

Going to an unknown alien planet for exploration and not bringing a weapon for self-defense is just asking for trouble.

In the entire "Prometheus" movie, the only person Liu Rui'an truly cared about was actually one and a half people.

One of them is Peter Weyland, who is about to die of old age.

In this world, this supporting character, who only appeared for a short time, is actually a pioneer of human civilization.

Without mentioning anything else, just the fact that he developed so many advanced technologies that led human civilization is enough to earn Liu Rui'an's respect.

The other half is Peter Weyland's illegitimate daughter, the cold and stern leader Meredith Vickers from the original plot.

Although she did not inherit her father's genius in scientific research, she is a true businesswoman in the commercial field.

The reason she is only half a person is that Liu Rui'an does not lack such strong women.

If it weren't for her good looks and the need for someone to take over the entire Weyland Corporation to allow Peter Weyland to focus on scientific research, she wouldn't even count as half a person.

Of course, the idea that she looks good and can be used for pleasure after genetic modification is something Liu Rui'an would never admit.
