Legend of the Planet Builder-Chapter 282 - 237: The True Space Air Mother Ship!

...

Xuanwu Base is being transformed into a planetary fortress, undergoing multiple expansions, and it houses a massive underground city and factories.

In the Space Air Mother Ship manufacturing plant, parts transported from all over are being assembled.

Hundreds of thousands of industrial robots of various sizes and functions are engaged in assembly, welding, and other operations.

He Xingzhou stands on the viewing platform, watching the robots operate.

In front of him, the framework of the Space Air Mother Ship has already appeared. This framework is extremely similar to the model he originally designed.

The speed of the robots is much faster than manual operation, and the "flesh" of the Space Air Mother Ship is being assembled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The fusion thruster section is installed!"

"The plasma beam generator is installed."

"The high-voltage arc generator is installed!"

"The reaction force regulator is installed!"

"The cockpit is ready."

"The internal armor is installed!"

"The external armor is installed!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

...

The AI system continuously reports back, and a day later, the AI system indicates: "The Space Air Mother Ship, Dapeng, is fully installed and undergoing self-check..."

"Finally, it’s finished!" He Xingzhou stands up, the waiting process was exceedingly lengthy.

The sooner they finish, the fewer soldiers will have to sacrifice at the front lines, reducing some of the losses.

When he returns to the manufacturing plant, a giant warship, a thousand meters long, appears before him.

Its shape resembles a giant bird, so He Xingzhou named it Dapeng.

With a length of 1038 meters and a wingspan of 875 meters, it uses a large nuclear fusion reactor as its power source.

Unlike jet-powered aircraft, its ascent will employ a reaction force system to counteract gravity for flight!

The onboard weapons need no introduction; they are currently the most advanced for humanity—plasma cannons, nuclear electromagnetic pulse missiles, heavy-duty electromagnetic guns, heavy-duty laser cannons, and the latest plasma beam weapons and high-voltage arc generators!

Standing before this Space Air Mother Ship, a person is as insignificant as an ant!

Its immense body, steel shell, full of a sense of power and technology, instills boundless pride and honor in every engineer involved in its design and construction!

"This is the Space Air Mother Ship we built! Dapeng, humanity’s first Space Air Mother Ship!" an engineer shouted: "We did it!"

"We only took ten months! Accomplishing such a feat in less than a year!" several designers hugged each other in tears!

"When it ascends, we will regain the initiative in the war!" Qin Peng and He Hongwei were both present to witness its birth!

"Did we really achieve this?" Young researcher Zeng Weihao looked at the Space Air Mother Ship, trembling with excitement, realizing that what once seemed an unattainable dream could actually come true!

"Humanity is definitely not a low-level civilization!" A foreign scientist stared intently at the Space Air Mother Ship, his thoughts turning to his own country.

When the Catastrophe Era arrived, the leaders all considered fleeing Earth, escaping into space. Instead, they all became food for the Zerg!

"Perhaps only here can such a great masterpiece be born!" he thought to himself.

"Dapeng’s self-check is complete!" Dapeng’s AI system reported: "Dapeng salutes all researchers, thanking you for giving me form and life!"

As its voice resounded, a cheer erupted throughout the entire research base.

"Commanders, let’s not board the ship or hold those ceremonies today," He Xingzhou said, "The war is urgent; we cannot waste time!"

"Exactly!" Qin Peng nodded, "Even though Dapeng has just been born and hasn’t undergone various checks and trial flights, time waits for no one!"

"Extraordinary times require extraordinary actions!" he remarked, "Commander He, Dapeng is your brainchild; you should command it!"

"Alright." He Xingzhou nodded, calling out, "Xue Yang!"

"Present!" Xue Yang stepped forward and saluted He Xingzhou. Behind him stood a group of soldiers. These were the outstanding soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, fortunate to become the first crew members of the Space Carrier!

"Captain Xue, due to your multiple merits in resisting the Zerg war, after the command center’s research and consideration," He Xingzhou stated, "we appoint you as the first captain of the Space Carrier, Dapeng!"

"You all will become the crew of Dapeng! Assume your posts immediately!"

"Thank you for the trust of the command center, we will not fail our mission!" they all responded loudly, their voices filled with excitement.

The soldiers originally thought that being crew members of a nuclear-powered carrier was already a rare achievement and honor in a lifetime.

Who would have thought they could operate a Space Carrier, engaging in aerial combat! To fight against the terrifying Insect King?

"First mission!" He Xingzhou continued, "Immediately proceed to Sakura Island and the Three-headed Giant Dragon!"

"Yes, we will complete the mission!" Xue Yang led the soldiers to board the Space Carrier.

They had previously simulated how to operate it in the computer system. Although they were still somewhat unfamiliar in real hands-on operation, with the AI system Dapeng, intelligent operation could compensate for these shortcomings.

"Space Carrier, Dapeng, depart!" He Xingzhou issued the command.

With his command, the top of the manufacturing plant fully opened, extending to the upper layer of Xuanwu Base, and a huge protective barrier slowly opened.

For the first time, sunlight shone on the Space Carrier’s hull. It was morning, the sun was rising, and the red sun cast a golden glow on it, dazzlingly brilliant!
