[Star Wars] How did the Empire create half of a new Death Star so fast?

The new Death Star is maybe 1/2 completed, 3/4 at best about 4 years after the first was destroyed. Where did the Empire find the time and money to construct a second one so quickly? Or was the Empire making 2 in the first place?

The first took forever because a death star had never been built before. During construction you learn a lot. This can be applied to future construction projects. Also, the first was built in secret and had to be built slowly so no one would notice a massive construction project sucking up resources like a black hole. The Emperor wanted everyone to know he was building the second. There was no need to hide anything, or at least not to as great a degree.
