Under the operation of a large number of engineering robots from the federation, an underground city was quickly constructed.
Noah also brought all the children he had collected during this period to this city.
Although the entire city had just started, its total population had already reached 370,000.
This population was insignificant for a civilization, but for Noah at this moment, it was equivalent to a beginning.
Noah took out a large number of teacher robots from his small backpack and began to educate these children.
Their age in the federation had already reached the time for school, so Noah naturally wouldn't let them continue to play.
However, at the beginning of the teaching, the federation's education robots were shocked by the children's basic knowledge.
They couldn't understand why these children didn't even know the most basic knowledge, and they didn't even understand the knowledge taught in the first grade of the federation!
The children's foundation was too poor, so poor that it didn't seem like the knowledge a human from an interstellar civilization should possess.
Sometimes, these education robots would even complain that they would rather teach those slow-witted rock creatures than these children.
Due to the highly developed technology of the federation, a large amount of basic knowledge was embedded in the DNA of humans in the federation.
As soon as a human was born, in the eyes of many interstellar empires, even if it was just a small child, they were a qualified intellectual.
Of course, such knowledge had a certain lag.
It could only guarantee the acquisition of basic knowledge; higher knowledge required receiving education.
The federation education robots Noah carried at this time were all manufactured according to the standards of federation humans.
As a result, a huge generation gap emerged.
When the federation's education robots tried to educate these commoners collected from the Imperium, they encountered an unprecedented Waterloo.
No matter how much they emphasized a knowledge point, no matter how they described it, the children in front of them could only shake their heads helplessly; they knew nothing.
After trying for a long time, the federation's intelligent AI robots finally reported to Noah.
"We are very sorry, Creator, we cannot educate these children according to your instructions, because they are really too stupid."
Facing his robots reporting the situation, Noah could only shake his head helplessly.
He really didn't know what to do.
As one of the former senior scientific researchers of the Terran Federation, the knowledge in his mind was also quite complete.
At the same time, it was quite advanced; he wouldn't know how to teach children either.
To put it in the simplest terms, for the federation it was a common sense question.
But it was precisely such common sense questions that were common sense for humans in the federation.
However, when these people came to the Empire, they couldn't understand anything because they lacked the prerequisite knowledge points for these concepts.
After a month of education, Noah helplessly looked at the people he had gathered, a city whose population was still continuously increasing.
And the education robots, no matter how they tried to teach, couldn't get them to learn any knowledge. Noah was at his wit's end.
It seemed there was only one path left for him to take.
Use gene reconstruction to reconstruct everyone according to the human knowledge module genes of the Terran Federation, so that they too can have that basic knowledge embedded in their DNA.
In addition to transmitting knowledge, such gene reconstruction would also improve their physical fitness, roughly to about twice that of ordinary people.
But it wouldn't be as powerful as him, possessing strong psionic powers and the powerful physique of a genetic engineering creation, but it would still be much better than the physical fitness of people from the ordinary Imperium.
But the problem was that although he had such equipment, the genes of those people from the Imperium were truly bizarre.
He had never seen such strange genes; these guys could be said to have unique gene sequences for everyone, and more or less, they were mixed with a large number of alien genes.
Among the people Noah had observed during this period, the person with the most alien genes even had over 40,000 types in their body!
When Noah saw this person at the time, he couldn't help but marvel at him; he was very interested in how this guy managed to maintain a human appearance.
It was because of the diversity of species and genes that even with enough gene modification pods and intelligent AI, the speed of reconstructing genes for these guys became exceptionally slow, only able to reconstruct 10,000 people per day.
At the same time, due to the diversity and complexity of their respective genes during reconstruction, the intelligent AI also needed to consume a large amount of energy and computing power when reconstructing them.
To support such consumption, Noah was forced to hand-craft a zero-point reactor.
This wave of hand-crafting once again consumed a considerable amount of his alloy reserves.
Gene modification also required more genetic materials, which were extremely precious to Noah at this time.
Every day, Noah would feel heartache as he watched his material inventory dwindle.
However, he would be grateful every day that he didn't need to strengthen them to the same level as federation citizens.
Otherwise, with the resources he currently carried, he could at most strengthen 40 people.
After talking about so many headaches and difficulties, there was still one thing that made Noah happy.
For him, the only thing worth being relieved about was that food didn't need to be considered, because the green skins outside were like leeks, inexhaustible.
As long as robots were specially arranged to harvest these green skins, it would be enough.
When they grew, these robots would catch them all, then select the edible parts, and the inedible parts would be turned back into fertilizer and returned to the soil.
A very smooth green skin slaughter production line was thus successfully completed.
At the same time, if the green skin production in any area started to decline, Noah would have the robots spray energy liquid to make that land fertile again, allowing it to produce green skins again.
Noah still had a lot of this nutrient solution used to supplement energy; he could even hand-craft it using local resources.
This was perhaps the only good news in Noah's development during this period; food was not a concern, with a continuous supply from the green skin farms.
Time quickly passed by a year.
Throughout this entire year, Noah stayed in his underground city, and this city had already been expanded 4 times, with the population inside reaching 3.8 million people.
This number was insignificant for an interstellar civilization, but when Noah saw the talents he had cultivated, he still nodded seriously.
Although it had just started, it was good.
As long as they were cultivated well for a while longer, these people would be of great use, and then he could take them to find a new planet for colonization.
In one year, besides occasionally clearing the surrounding green skins to prevent them from affecting his underground city, Noah also took in 60 ordinary children as his students.
He personally cultivated them, training them to become high-ranking planetary government officials.
The development over the year was not bad; at least this underground city could operate and develop in an orderly manner on its own, without Noah needing to interfere anymore.
Moreover, these people also formed their own guard force; among these 3.8 million people, they selected the 10,000 strongest fighters and formed the guard army.
These guards were equipped with power armor made of first-grade alloy and Gauss rifles, with a few personnel equipped with laser gun rifles.
Most importantly, an interstellar alloy factory was also established here, finally able to produce some first and second-grade alloys to make up for Noah's increasingly depleted small purse, although the production capacity was not large.
A small force finally began to take shape at this moment.
