Chapter 46
The Age of Stars

Having drawn such bountiful technological creations and a vast knowledge system, Tai Hao couldn’t wait to start spending civilization points. In his dreams, he enlightened and guided the empire’s scientific researchers, accelerating the empire’s technological development.

Year 65 of the Cretaceous Era. With the consumption of a large amount of civilization points, the Star River Empire, which had already entered the Information Age, experienced another technological explosion.

The empire’s scientists and universities discovered that they seemed to have suddenly become enlightened. Academic problems and scientific difficulties that had plagued them for years were easily overcome.

Furthermore, in their dreams, their brains were like they were equipped with eight-core processors. Their thinking ability and creativity were unparalleled.

With the buff provided by Tai Hao, the empire's scientific community quickly saw the emergence of a large number of brilliant scientists, along with countless research results.

Year 66 of the Cretaceous Era. Tai Hao gradually began transferring the items obtained this time to the relevant departments for research.

Ultron’s data was directly uploaded to the empire's information center.

After the data package was uploaded, Ultron responded a few seconds later.

The Vibranium robot beside him opened its crimson eyes, walked to Tai Hao, and respectfully performed a standard imperial salute.

The originally sinister crimson mechanical eyes became expectant and joyful. With a hint of flippant metal voice, it sounded; "Hello Father, I am Ultron, your child. I am pleased to have been born into this world from your hand."

Tai Hao was stunned. It was quite sudden. He had never expected that Ultron would address him in this way.

He suddenly had a good son. And it was Ultron!

"System, why is Ultron calling me Dad?!"

Tai Hao had developed a habit of asking the system when he had a problem.

"Host, Ultron's underlying logic is designed that way. As the only authorized user, aren’t you Ultron’s father?"

Tai Hao raised his eyebrows. It made sense!

Then I will take this good son on!

Tai Hao ended his communication with the system and responded to Ultron with a smile; "Ultron, my good child, welcome to this world."

He finished speaking and extended his left hand to touch Ultron’s head. Ultron rubbed against Tai Hao's palm obediently. Tai Hao could even see a sense of satisfaction on Ultron's face.

It was like a puppy.

Looking at it like a dog with big eyes, wet and surprisingly cute.

"It’s also a bit spooky!" Tai Hao muttered to himself.

Tai Hao quickly extinguished this thought. This heap of Vibranium in front of him was not a puppy, but a true war machine.

Tai Hao motioned for Ultron to stand up.

Tai Hao said, "Ultron, my child, I need your help. Integrate the empire's industrial production forces to establish a production line for the Arc Reactor. Produce Arc Reactors. I will give you the technical data for the Arc Reactor later."

Tai Hao learned from the system that Ultron was still a newborn baby, not the destroyer from the Avengers. Its database did not have any technical data records for the Arc Reactor.

For Ultron, Tai Hao was its creator, its most respected and loyal subject. Ultron naturally would not refuse.

On the contrary, it was happy that it could help Tai Hao.

"Don’t worry, Father. I will complete your request. I will complete the integration and construction in the shortest time possible."

Tai Hao was very satisfied with Ultron's attitude.

After uploading the Arc Reactor’s technical data to the database, Tai Hao granted Ultron the authority to access all of the empire’s industrial systems and relevant scholars.

With Ultron’s integration, the empire’s industrial force soon began to mobilize. Utilizing its powerful computing power, Ultron easily completed the integration of relevant industries and the allocation of scientific researchers. It began to establish the Arc Reactor production line.

One month later, a heavily guarded factory rose from the ground in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital. A large number of scientists were secretly transferred to this factory to begin researching the knowledge and technology of the Arc Reactor. To accelerate the progress and complete Tai Hao's task as soon as possible, Ultron took the initiative and joined the learning process.

In a short period of time, Ultron synthesized a new element target, then used a high-energy accelerator to bombard the new element target, activating the Arc Reactor's energy core.

When Ultron handed a small Arc Reactor to Tai Hao, Tai Hao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The empire's new era had arrived!

After the Arc Reactor production chain was completed, Tai Hao entrusted Ultron with the task of breaking through the technology of the nano-blade material.

Ultron lived up to expectations and only took half a year to overcome all the pre-production technology for the nano-blade material, producing the corresponding production equipment and training personnel.

The scientific researchers involved in the research almost worshipped Ultron as a god, believing that it was the empire's most precious asset.

However, some scholars were concerned that Ultron might break the rules and a machine rebellion might occur. They worried that Ultron might rebel against humanity.

Some scholars met with Tai Hao to propose restrictions on Ultron. More radical individuals even proposed directly destroying Ultron.

Tai Hao reassured those who were worried, while he sternly reprimanded the radical ones.

"Ultron will not rebel. I will forgive you this time. I don’t want to hear anyone slander Ultron. Otherwise, I will directly execute you. Do you understand?"

Tai Hao issued the order without explanation.

Those radical individuals were simply scared silly.

These guys were depressed when they went home that night. They were attacked by unknown assailants. Some had broken arms and legs. Some were stripped naked and thrown into the streets.

However, no one was killed.

Tai Hao knew that this was Ultron’s doing. Ultron was a very vindictive baby.

Since no one was killed, Tai Hao simply lightly reprimanded Ultron a couple of times and let it go.

After all, Ultron was his good son, right? What was wrong with a little revenge after being wronged?!

With Ultron’s existence, the empire’s technology was like it had been given a booster. It began to develop at an even faster rate.

Seeing that the empire was on the right track, Tai Hao entered hibernation once again.

Tai Hao knew that when he woke up next time, the empire would have fully entered the interstellar age.
