I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 581: The Ten-Year Plan

As everyone in the Star Alliance began to settle, Nash called for a meeting.

Gathering in the Star Alliance Council Hall, every top leader, scientist, general, and civilization manager arrived.

"Welcome everyone. How is our new home treating you?" Nash greeted with a smile.

"It’s good, Commander! With abundant energy, we can finally relax."

"It wasn’t easy. After almost a year, we can finally settle."

"Without worrying about void energy, we can concentrate on training."

The number one problem in the wild void area was the lack of energy.

Before they could even die at the hands of a dark beast, they would already be drained of energy.

Thus, finding and seizing the sun star void quickly eliminated that worry.

Now there were only two things left to concern themselves with: dark beasts and other cosmic teams.

"Glad to hear it. Now that we’ve settled in such a blessed place, it’s time to consolidate." Nash said.

Instead of expanding or venturing to other planets to mine resources, Nash thought it best to stay put for the time being.

With the scale of the Cosmic Competition drawing talents from across the Universe Plane, venturing out without sufficient strength was a gamble.

"How long should we lay low, Commander?"

"Ten years. We’ll stay hidden within our territory for ten years. That should be enough time for most of the cosmic elites to advance to the Tier 5 Void Marshal Realm."

"Ten years..."

Hearing it would be that long, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

These ten years wouldn’t be happening in the middle or the tail end of the Cosmic Competition, but right at the beginning.

This was a crucial time to search for resources, wild planets, and legendary places like the sun star void.

Yet Nash’s plan was for them to stay cooped up in their territory for a full decade.

"Don’t worry. Once we have enough strength, won’t everything else be ours for the taking?" Nash said without concern.

Although they would miss many opportunities, they were not without their chances.

Furthermore, these ten years might be the most fierce period of the Cosmic Competition.

With cosmic teams from across the universe vying for resources, it would be an all-out war.

With their current foundation, throwing themselves into that chaos would be suicide.

Since that was the case, it was better to stay and consolidate their strength.

Nash could also use this time to advance to the Tier 6 Realm, build more battleships, improve the module system, and raise the overall strength of the Star Alliance.

"Now, who agrees and who opposes?"

"We all agree, Commander."

After thinking it over, they quickly realized the danger in their earlier thinking.

It seemed they had grown too confident after driving off all those cosmic teams while protecting the sun star void.

But upon reflection, they were nothing but a small fish in front of the top-tier teams.

After all, if the Chronos Empire had the Chronos Saint as their representative, what did the other Galactic Territories have?

"Good. Since that’s settled, I’ll lay out our goals for the following ten years."

Seeing no one object, Nash laid out his goals one by one.

First, all the Cosmic Elites were to advance to the Tier 5 Marshal Realm.

With all the resources and manuals he provided, as long as they were diligent, advancing to the Tier 5 Realm within ten years was not a problem.

Second, they would build more battleships and large-scale defensive weapons.

Besides the materials the Xenus Domain had given him, they also had blueprints for battleships and defensive weapons up to tier 8.

Although they didn’t have the capability to produce those yet, building tier 6 and 7 battleships and defensive weapons was still feasible.

Especially with the Mother Core Ship he had bought. As long as they could fully utilize it, they could mass-produce anything they wanted.

From the smallest device to even cloning itself.

Unfortunately, until now, they were still stuck at a bottleneck, only able to produce up to tier 5 equipment.

Third, Nash set a goal to improve the virtual server domain.

With the private virtual server already set up, they could communicate without relying on the module system.

However, it was limited to text only, like the old days.

Nash’s plan for the virtual domain went far beyond communication, but also included entertainment, markets, training, and everything else available on the original server.

He also tasked the scientists with connecting to other virtual servers in the wild void area.

Although everyone kept to themselves, the virtual domain was a perfect place to communicate, trade, and exchange information.

If something happened outside, they needed a way to know, especially in areas no cosmic team dared to pass through.

Fourth, was to utilize the sun star void.

At the moment, it was still leaking void energy in all directions without any control.

Instead of letting it scatter, Nash wanted the energy concentrated and directed to specific places.

From key resource planets, training planets, and scientific planets, to areas with large civilian populations.

Nash also wanted the scientists to build a void crystal extraction device that could capture the excess energy the Sun Star Void emitted.

In this way, not only would they prevent waste, but they could also stockpile wealth for future transactions.

After all, in the wild void area, energy was the number one currency, worth more than even raw materials.

Finally, Nash ordered the formation of an intelligence-gathering team to operate outside their territory.

Although they would stay secluded, that didn’t mean they should be blind to the outside world.

Who knew what changes might come that could shift their fate or open new opportunities.

Although building an intelligence agency was difficult and costly, it was crucial for their survival.

---

Soon, the meeting went on for days, hammering out every detail and plan of their action.

Looking over the drafts from each leader, scientist, general, and civilization manager, Nash couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

"Good. Meeting adjourned!"

Dismissing the meeting, Nash watched everyone leave in high spirits.

Eager to prove themselves, they hurried off to brief their subordinates.

"Huh. Next, I need to deal with the Xenus Alliance..."
