Chapter 509 Deploying Secret Weapons
A military factory hidden in the mountains of Kazdel has a complex steel framework built along the sides of the valley, supporting a large steel dome that covers the entire valley.
The steel dome is covered with camouflage fabric simulating the surrounding environment, and together with a mist magic array covering the entire mountain, it can block all outside observation. Several wide roads and land-based ship routes connect to the high-speed warship military base outside the valley, and a large amount of supplies are transported into the military base every day.
Inside the brightly lit valley, a colossal steel behemoth, more than three times the size of Rhodes Island, lay prostrate on its private dock. The heat from the ship's engines and weapons had not yet completely dissipated; the ship had just completed a round of extreme testing and was undergoing inspection.
Sarkaz workers, dressed in reflective suits, used engineering scaffolds to inspect and maintain various parts of the ship's exterior, while engineers inspected energy pipelines and critical facilities inside the ship.
After the ship's keel, which had broken into three sections, was repaired and reinforced, the entire ship was moved to this valley for large-scale modifications.
The skilled engineers researched and experimented, applying the pre-civilization technologies recorded in storage units retrieved from ruins near the stargate to this ship.
Because the ship had been frozen in the pristine lake water for a long time, many of its facilities were not severely damaged, especially the most important warp engine.
Terra's current technological level is not yet capable of producing materials to manufacture warp drives. All the parts needed to repair the engines come from ship inventory, and each one is one less available. Therefore, warp tests have not been conducted since the repairs were completed.
However, the new anti-gravity engine and energy weapons have been tested many times. The interstellar colony ships do not carry many weapons, and they all require high-energy cores for power.
Compared to pure Originium, high-energy cores release energy much faster, making them ideal for powering warp drives and energy weapons, much like the difference between a battery and a capacitor.
Engineers are currently focusing their research on high-energy cores and are eager to find alternative materials and manufacturing methods. Terra materials developed based on Originium may not be inferior to those of previous civilizations.
After being converted into aerospace warships, the massive hulls of these interstellar colony ships could accommodate more naval guns and drone hangars, and their instantaneous firepower was enough to severely damage a city the size of Londinium. However, they had never had the opportunity to undergo full-scale testing.
On an ordinary day, a high commissioner from Kazdel delivered a top military order, jointly signed by Roy, Theresa, and Theresis, to the desk of Manfred, the supreme commander of the military base.
The order required Manfred to lead the massive warship and related forces to the northern border of Kazdel a week later as the military commander.
After verifying the authenticity of the transfer order, Manfred carried it out without hesitation, even though the contents of the order seemed a bit strange at first glance.
"When did the relationship between Ursus and Kazdel become so tense that this secret weapon has been mobilized? But since it is an order from the two princes and the general, we should carry it out unconditionally."
Manfred, walking briskly down the base corridor, shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and his gaze hardened.
......
Roy received news that Lu was ready to depart, so he sent out a magical clone to open a spatial portal to Rhodes Island. As soon as he came out, he saw Lu saying goodbye to the Doctor and Precys.
"Senior Doctor, Senior Precys, I'm going back to check on the Blue Tree. I shouldn't be back for long, so don't worry about me."
"Be careful on the road. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, remember to tell us." The doctor took Lu's hands and earnestly instructed her. Even though Lu was the project leader of Deep Blue Tree, it didn't mean she could control Deep Blue Tree now, so they had to be vigilant.
"Okay, I know." Lu opened his arms and gently hugged the Doctor, patting her back. After a few seconds, he let go and hugged Precy instead.
After saying goodbye to the two, Lu turned and walked towards Roy, who had just arrived. His reluctant expression vanished, and he regained his lively and cheerful demeanor.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Now we can set off."
"Row."
