Chapter 264: The Funeral (The Second Shift of the Burning Flow)
The vast mirror space, the magnificent base, the tranquility reveals a busyness.
During Hao Shen's absence, in order to meet the construction of a large number of fleets, the already huge steel base was expanded again. At the time of Hao Shen's departure, the total construction area of the ground buildings on the base was already equivalent to that of a large city, but now, this area has been expanded more than tenfold.
Starships are not something that can be made by a team of construction engineers and knocking them out. On the earth, the construction of an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 100,000 tons and a length of only more than 200 meters requires hundreds of large-scale high-precision supporting enterprises, hundreds of thousands of engineering jobs and the design of thousands of different types of industrial sectors, not to mention a brilliant-class battleship of hundreds of kilometers. In a word, in just one week, the system has built a super industrial zone that is almost the size of a small country.
These industrial areas are still using the artificial intelligence technology of the Star Ring Empire, and all the hard work in all production positions is all quiet and tireless machines, these intelligent engineering machines are almost silent and amazingly effective when they are running, quiet and busy.
However, what really attracts attention in the current steel base is not the huge factories that are producing all kinds of huge parts, but the illegal things that seem to hang upside down in the distant sky over the entire base.
Starship Dock!
It was a huge hemispherical creation, 2,000 kilometers in diameter, as if a planet had been cut in half and one of its parts had been placed there. A total of twelve huge pits are neatly arranged on its surface, with a standard length of 400 kilometers and a width of 80 kilometers, and are the largest shipyards that the system can build today, and the Brilliant-class battlecarriers were born in these slipways.
Today, sparks are sparkling in every slipway, and new engineering tasks are being completed by busy large hoisting and machinery - new Brilliant-class battlecarriers and other types of battleships continue to be built, and in a week at most, three new Brilliant-class motherships will be officially added to the fleet. Until then, hundreds or thousands of more sub-ships will be built from other large slipways, which will be filled into the sequence first.
At that time, the combat effectiveness of Hao Shen's starfleet will be increased exponentially, and this improvement can be maintained forever - as long as these factories and dockyards do not stop construction, each Zhou Hao Shen will get a fleet almost equal to the existing number.
This improvement in combat power has given Hao Shen the confidence and strength to deal with all future crises.
But at this moment, Hao Shen himself has no intention of being happy about it.
In the mirror space, a temporary area was created where the fleet that had just returned was assembled.
Mirror Space was designed to be a light-year in size, but much more is unexplored beyond the steel base. This newly opened area is quite far from the base, but it is very distinctive: a large, empty and flat plain with virtual stars shining above, and the whole plain is quiet and peaceful under the light of the stars.
Hao Shen, System, Lilith, Sun Xin, and Catherine and Ah Xu, who were following behind, were solemnly looking at the huge but dilapidated spaceships, as if they had just been withdrawn from the battlefield, and slowly fell to the plain at the speed of light in a large number of tows.
This fleet of thousands of warships is the revenge fleet owned by the Motkle civilization, after the war, only a very small number of these ships remain intact, most of the ships are covered with traces of various explosions and gun bombardment, after many sacrifices, the revenge army fleet retreated to a safe area for damage management, but with the outbreak of star energy backlash, the revenge army has been completely wiped out, and the appearance of this fleet will always be fixed on this tattered appearance.
It is not only these thousands of space warships that will be frozen forever, but also the hundreds of thousands of members of the Motkle civilization among the warships.
Hao Shen couldn't afford to move the bodies of those members out and bury them separately, so he had to let them follow these ships and rest here forever.
"It's not your fault." Lilith suddenly spoke, "You've done your best. The destruction of the universe and the extinction of civilizations are all too common things in the vast pan-universe, and it is not tragic to die of conspiracy, I have seen many civilizations that can truly be called miserable: they are optimistic, full of courage and vitality, have enlightened minds and amazing potential, but they are reduced to cosmic ashes by a single movement of a star, or decomposed into the most basic information flow by a certain cosmic tremor...... Born at the wrong time, fate dictates, this is a very simple truth. β
"Simple...... Doesn't that ...... the truth?" after that, Ah Xuan muttered, and then laughed dumbly, "Is this the god's view of the universe and civilization, it's really simple and rude." β
ββ¦β¦ The so-called civilization is also a part of the universe, and the birth and disappearance of life, the progress and destruction of civilization, are just a part of the laws of nature......" Lilith's small face darkened, "If it was a true god, I would probably think so." β
Ah Xu's face stiffened for a moment, and he sighed for a long time, "...... That's the expected answer. β
"After all, the way of heaven is ruthless." Sun Xin hugged his shoulders, his face was unfathomable, "The so-called heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, in the eyes of real saints, there is only the so-called origin and extinction, atmospheric luck and catastrophe." I think that in the era of the flood and famine, the Hongjun sage was in line with the Tao, and the Zixiao Palace left the opportunity to become holy Hongmeng Purple Qi, and the Taoist Sanqing, Nuwa Great God and the Western Zhun Ti received one of them, and these saints thus achieved the mixed yuan sage, the so-called free yin and yang, not in the five elements, immortal and indestructible, not increasing or decreasing, and opening up an epic chapter of the struggle between luck and merit......"
Ash: "......"
System: "......"
Even Lilith was stunned, only Catherine looked confusedβshe didn't understand.
Hao Shen turned his head, grabbed the goods when he went up, and twisted vigorously according to the scalp of the goods: "As long as you talk a lot, you talk a lot, and the good atmosphere will ruin you." There's something about the gods here! β
Sun Xin's scream was heartbreaking, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...... I'm just pretending to be a coercion, pretending to be guilty?! β
"Guilty here!"
Hao Shen kicked Sun Xin fiercely, and then turned his head to continue to look at the warships of the revenge army, but after Sun Xin's interruption, the original solemn feeling was indeed no longer found.
Hao Shen's face was awkward for a long time, and finally he could only glare at Sun Xin hatefully, and said to the system: "Come on, don't do it...... You are here to deal with the aftermath, freeze the information here, and let this be a monument to warn us of our first fiasco. β
The system was also unhappy, and looked around Sun Xin for a while, but finally couldn't bear to start, so he had to nod, "Okay, I know what you mean, I'll leave this matter to me...... A cemetery only! β
The system has always been clean and neat, it shook the ball, and a piece of alloy cuboid more than ten meters high fell from mid-air, followed by a dazzling laser flashing vertically and horizontally, and a striking text was engraved on the alloy.
"The Tomb of Mortklee Civilization β Evil lies are the cause of this tragedy, and their broken appearance will forever serve as a warning to posterity that lying is not a good boy......"
Although the truth is very simple, why does it look so awkward? The corners of Hao Shen's mouth twitched.
However, in the end, Hao Shen still did not order the system to revise these words, perhaps out of selfishness, wanting to use this kind of joking language to cover up his failures, or perhaps because he felt that this kind of shameful text could motivate him to move forward, anyway...... He left without looking back.
Leaving the system to carry out the subsequent repairs and treatments of the 'cemetery', the others boarded another ship and headed in the direction of the steel base.
The spacecraft landed smoothly at the original ground dock location, which was systematically rebuilt into a super-large apron due to the construction of the giant dock, and was also directly connected to the base's general command and dispatch center.
The magnificent sight of the steel base along the way made Sun Xin, who saw these for the first time, shout excitedly, but after stepping off the spaceship, Hao Shen stuffed the goods into the medical warehouse.
"Give him a comprehensive examination inside and out...... Hao Shen pressed Sun Xin, who looked unhappy, and summoned a few octopus-like mechanical autonomic robots, "Especially in terms of spirit and soul, that bastard of Molofei has been in Sun Xin's body for too long, I'm worried about what she will do...... I'm 100% sure that every grain that makes up this thing is clean and pure! β
"Are you afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years?" Lilith squinted at Hao Shen and asked strangely.
"It's always right to be careful."
Lilith nodded, and left with a large number of self-discipline machines escorting Sun Xin, who was tied into zongzi and constantly whining.
"Catherine!" Hao Shen looked at the female interstellar agent who had almost no use along the way, and continued to give orders.
Catherine was suddenly excited, and then straightened up excitedly, "Yes! Do you need me to sneak over to the enemy? All I need is a small spaceship and a particle gun to blow up the enemy's XX! β
Hao Shen looked at the female agent who exploded seriously, nodded vigorously to express his affirmation of his fighting spirit, and then pointed to the portal of the present world, "You go buy me a cup of milk tea...... I'm thirsty! β
Catherine: "...... You're ......."
Before she could say the next words, she was pushed into a space door by Hao Shen, and on the other side of the door was Room 201 of Buckingham Palace......
"Whew~~~"
After completing all this, Hao Shen wiped his sweat before looking at Ah Xu with a smile, "Ah, these guys are really uneasy...... If you open your mouth to curse people at every turn, haven't the interstellar soldiers received quality education? β
Ah Xu squinted at Hao Shen, and said after a long time: "If you can find a better reason to expel people, I don't think she will not accept it......"
Hao Shen's face stiffened slightly, and then he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "What method do I like to use...... I'm a god, so I need to care about her feelings? β
"Yes." Ah Xuan put his hand in his pocket and looked at Hao Shen, "So, what does the great and bright and correct Hao Dashen want to do when he leaves me alone?" β
"Needless to say." Hao Shen scratched his head, then his face turned pale, looking at Ah Xu, who was a little nervous because of the change in his expression, and said with a serious face: "There is one thing about you, which is very important. But before I announce it to them, I want to talk to you alone......"
