After Xiahoulin conducted interstellar long-range communication with Laxis and Autumn Moon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info has begun a complete restoration and construction, which belongs to the mission of its newest mothership.

After all, according to the design drawings sent by Laxis, it is basically impossible for the size of the new battleship to be built in a short time. So for the next seven or eight years, this Forerunner base will be busy with work.

Fortunately, there is nothing else to be done in this Forerunner shipbuilding base at the moment. Therefore, Xia Houlin was able to concentrate all the industrial robots and devote them to this renovation plan. At the same time, the mechanical octopus produced by the team will also be put into large-scale renovation and construction.

In the following days, Xiahoulin watched the progress of the mission in addition to this Precursor shipbuilding base. It is to take the dreadnought battleship and go to the shield world to transport a new batch of mechanical octopuses to increase the number of equipment for the transformation of the battleship.

At the same time, Xiahoulin also took the dreadnought battleship every once in a while, and quietly went to the area where the human race was at war with the Star Alliance.

The reason for going there is also very simple, and that is to monitor the situation of the two sides in the battle. It is important that humanity and the Covenant do not engage in a large-scale battle in a short period of time, and let history continue to install the requirements set by their own side.

In fact, Xiahoulin originally wanted to help humans win this war, but after discussing it with Qiuyue and Laxis. Still, it was decided to stay put, because if humanity won the war, it would mean that they would have to leave the mission plane.

This is a situation that some people in Xiahoulin, who still need years to rebuild the battleship, absolutely do not want to see.

Of course, there is another important reason why Xiahoulin went to Orion Cantilever, where humans and the Star Alliance are located, and that is to collect food for consumption.

That's right, it's food, although the troops under Xiahou Lin are all robots, and as long as they have energy, they can continue to work. But he is indeed a normal human being, and he must eat to replenish his consumption.

As for sending robots to grow food, Xiahou Lin didn't have the effort. Most of the mechanical octopuses are now focused on transforming battleships. Fortunately, many of the planets that have been colonized by humans are planets whose main output value is agriculture. So getting a lot of food there is not a problem at all.

Therefore, every time Xiahou Lin would purchase food for a year, after all, the human race and the Star Alliance were still at war. The act of collecting large quantities of food will be very noticeable.

What Xia Houlin and his party want most now is to keep a low profile and not attract the attention of UNSC and the Star Alliance. Of course, this does not mean that we are afraid of those two forces.

On the contrary, Xiahou Lin and his party, who now control the Precursor Dreadnought Fleet, can be said to be the most powerful hidden force in this galaxy.

If Xiahou Lin wanted to grab territory in this world, relying on the strength of the army in his hand, he would definitely be able to easily seize a large area of star fields. It's a pity that their side has no interest in this.

Under the secret interference of Xiahoulin and others, the interstellar war between the Star Alliance and humans gradually fell into a stalemate.

The time at this moment is the year 2535 of the Earth calendar, the year in the plane of "Halo", in the original history. The human armies have been defeated, and most of the farland colonies have been captured by the Covenant.

In order to defend the Earth and the remaining colonies, the Cole Protocol was implemented, and human ships were not allowed to go directly to the colonized locations even if they blindly jumped during the retreat.

If there is a danger of being captured by the Covenant, and even "blind jumping" is not feasible, the captain must order the ship to self-destruct. In addition, the powerful ship's artificial intelligence (AI) core data must not fall into the hands of enemy forces.

Therefore, part of the Cole clause also points out: in a state of emergency, the ship's artificial intelligence must be transferred or destroyed.

However, in this plane interfered with by outsiders such as Xiahoulin, history has undergone a series of great changes under the butterfly effect.

Relying on the development of a large number of particle beam weapons and plasma cannons, the human army finally has the strength to compete with its opponents in terms of large weapons.

As a result, in the original history, there was no major counterattack of human armies at all. In late June 2535, it appeared in the distant colony of Ursa Major.

The Ursa Major counterattack begins, facing an invasion from outside the world. The rebels of the original distant colonies of mankind united with the UNSC fleet, and more than 200 warships of various types suddenly appeared in the rear of the Star Alliance fleet, and then the two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire.

Relying on the ferocious firepower of a large number of warships equipped with new particle beam weapons, one of the Covenant's fleets stationed in Ursa Major was devastated.

Except for the three small warships that narrowly escaped, the remaining more than 80 warships of various types were all sunk in space.

In this counterattack, the human side can be described as a complete victory. Not only did it recover the colonies that had been captured by the Covenant, but it also annihilated most of the opponent's fleet for the first time.

And in this great counterattack of the human army, Xiahoulin rode a dreadnought battleship, quietly from the beginning to the end. Although the UNSC's fleet won in the end, it also paid the price of losing a third of its warships.

Obviously, there is still a big gap between human beings and Star Alliance in terms of science and technology. Especially on the energy shield of the battleship, this is not something that can be caught up in a short period of time.

Although the human army won the initial battle, the Covenant side was not vegetarian after all. As a result, the war between the two sides continued, and fierce battles broke out in various star fields, large and small.

In this way, when the time came to 2540, after years of fierce fighting, the warring sides. The UNSC fleet of mankind and the Star Alliance forces both chose a ceasefire and repairs in this year.

After all, years of war have caused heavy losses on both sides, and the Covenant's goal of ending the war quickly has not been achieved. The plan to exterminate humanity eventually turned into what is now a brutal war of attrition.

And because of the destruction of many distant colonies, human beings who were originally rich and sufficient in resources and manpower have also become nervous at this moment. Therefore, both sides need to rest for a while and then turn around again to find a way to eliminate their opponents.

At the time of the temporary truce between the UNSC and the Star Alliance, the warships that had been rebuilt in the Precursor shipyard had a large outer shell.

Over the years, relying on a large number of mechanical octopuses and pioneer engineering robots, they have stepped up work day and night. The giant battleship planned by Xia Houlin and others has successfully completed the assembly of its shell.

Because this warship will be their flagship in the future, Xiahoulin, Qiuyue, and Laxis have all invested great efforts in it.

Xia Houlin was not only personally in the Forerunner shipbuilding factory, but also responsible for checking the progress of the transformation of the battleship. And from time to time, he travels to various places to look for items left behind by the forerunners. He even ventured to the Precursor colony where the ancient precursors and ancient humans had been infected by the Flood Demons.

Relying on unremitting efforts, Xiahoulin found the engines of several Fortress-class warships in order to transform the warships. Most of these ships were found on the battlefield, and the Flood was wiped out by the Aura after infecting the ship.

The wreckage of the battleship floated quietly in the cold cosmic space, waiting for the arrival of the destined one. More than 100,000 years later, Xiahoulin became the first person to find the wreckage.

A new type of fortress-class battleship, named after the final weapon from one of the games he once played, this giant ship is known as the "Vessel of Glory".

Because Xiahoulin's side has mastered the design drawings of the ancient human warship, as well as the wreckage of the aircraft carrier of the StarCraft World Protoss. So this new warship has a completely new shape that is completely different from the style of any race in this world.

With an exaggerated length of 122 kilometers and a hull width of 20 kilometers and a height of 22 kilometers, the new Fortress class has surpassed the Forerunner's new Fortress class in size.

In this plane, the Vessel of Splendor is probably second only to the Covenant's mobile fortress Fraternity City in terms of size, and has become the largest battleship of the forerunners, the Mantle Prime.

The golden superalloy hull was so smooth that the Vessel of Glory's rectangular hull looked as if it had been forged from a single block of gold. Under the light of the stars, it looks shining and beautiful.

The power system of the new battleship is based on the old Fortress-class battleship, and it is also linked to the engines of several other Fortress-class battleships. At the same time, the latest auxiliary engine developed based on Protoss technology has also been added.

It can be said that at present, this battleship of the Brilliant Instrument can already carry out preliminary interstellar voyages. It's just that many of the weapon systems in the warship have not yet been installed in place.

When designing the Vessel of Glory, Laxis drew inspiration from the Precursor's dreadnought. That is, for the battleship, eight link ships that looked like wings were designed.

Not only can these link ships fight alone, but they can also form a powerful array of energy weapons. In the future, once the design is complete, this weapon will become the main weapon system of the Brilliant Weapon.

In order to save time, these link ships were repaired and transformed from the damaged Forerunner dreadnoughts found by Xia Houlin from the ancient battlefield. Therefore, the individual combat effectiveness of each battleship is definitely no worse than that of a dreadnought.

According to the final design, the Vessel of Glory is not only a battleship, but also a huge moving city. Inside, there will be a large living area in the middle of the huge space. Industrial zones capable of building weapons and equipment, scientific research zones responsible for the development of new technologies, military zones where warships have been docked.

It can be said that as long as the construction of the interior of the Vessel of Splendor is completed, its function will be completely comparable to that of the Star Alliance's City of Fraternity. In terms of flexibility, it is even better than the former.

However, it will not be easy to complete all these areas of the Vessel of Glory. After all, all kinds of equipment in those areas need to be installed little by little.

At present, there are about 50,000 mechanical octopuses and engineering robots working day and night inside the Brilliant Vessel. Their first task will be to complete the construction of scientific and industrial areas.

Among them, the scientific research area is the most important, because in this area, the various advanced equipment of the Forerunners and the technological equipment of ancient humans will be prioritized. In the future, the technical data collected by Xia Houlin and others in other worlds will also be concentrated in this area for research.

Today, in this shipbuilding base, a new batch of material and equipment transportation fleets were ushered in again, and Xiahoulin personally came to the space port to prepare to meet this transportation team.
