Around the broken Naqdal Continent, a large cluster of drone bases was rapidly taking shape.
The drone turrets and floating sentry towers erected to prevent a second wave of festered monsters had been replaced by more powerful sentry towers. These silver-gray dimensional buildings stood in space like silent monuments, their surface covered with large and small cannons and warp missile launchers. The Sentry Post's powerful shield generator could also generate a wide range of protective force field. The Sentry Posts were arranged in a precise manner, which allowed their protective force fields to overlap and form an energy link, creating a strong defense similar to the United Shield. This convenient technology, simplified from the Xi Ling military technology, was now widely used in a variety of cluster fortresses in the Macroworld, including the droid swarms used by the inspectors.
Within the protection range of the sentry towers were six large-scale drone nests. These nests glowed faintly in the dark space like strange sandcastles made of metal and rock. Their scale was growing day by day, and there were hundreds of factories and drone warehouses connected to the nests. Thousands of drones were produced in these facilities, and now it was like a prairie fire. These cold and efficient mechanical lives were constantly moving through the base. The engineering bodies tirelessly continued to increase the size of the nest, while more armed drones entered the warehouse after being armed. They were arranged in a square formation and parked under their respective racks, quietly waiting for the moment to enter the battlefield.
Between these infrastructures were command towers, radar stations, data centers, acceleration tracks, and residential and ecological centers of various sizes.
Some of the above facilities were not yet completed. Even with the efficiency of the engineering drones, it was impossible for them to 'transform' these complex structures into special functional buildings in an instant. But after a few days of construction, these huge projects had begun to take shape. Hao Ren thought that they could be regarded as a space city.
These dimensional facilities were large in scale but relatively loose in structure, so they could easily form several layers around the Naqdal Continent. In the center of these layers, there was another ambitious project.
The transformation and reboot of the Naqdal Continent.
The Naqdal Continent, a fragment from the planetary fortress Naqdal, was itself a powerful weapon of war, or at least had an excellent foundation to become a weapon of war.
Its crust, which seemed to be made of rocks and mud, was actually a strong alloy skeleton built by the guardian giants. Buried deep in the ground was a modular power furnace that could still be repaired. It had the largest shield system that Hao Ren had ever seen in the Plane of Dreams. When the shield system was complete, it could provide solid protection for an entire planet. Even if only a part of it was left, it could still protect the entire continent.
While the device was not in good working condition, as long as some core parts were replaced, the overloaded coils were repaired, and its operating frequency was readjusted, it could still function.
There were also energy cannons on the surface of the continent. Not only them, but the ancient temples themselves were also weapons that could be used in space battles. As long as there was enough energy, their power would not be inferior to Nolan's secondary cannons or the main cannons of any of the armed drones. Some of the advanced ones were even more powerful.
In the eyes of the sprites, these ancient facilities on the Naqdal Continent were hopelessly broken. But in front of Hao Ren's black technology, all these things could be repaired. If they could not be repaired, the drone factory could produce a bunch of generic parts to replace them.
In this regard, Hao Ren had to be thankful for his foresight. In the Gate of Solenne, he had left a large number of automatic scientific research facilities to study the relics of the guardian giants on that planet. In the process of research, he had accumulated a lot of scientific and technological information about the guardian giants, and now the information had come in handy.
The "generalist" nature of the inspector meant that the equipment and technology at hand were highly compatible. As long as they could analyze part of the technology of a native civilization, the inspector's equipment could quickly integrate with the native technology. So repairing and even strengthening the Naqdal Continent was not a problem.
As for why they wanted to restart the ancient continent and transform it into a war fortress, Hao Ren explained, "Of course, the drone cluster is powerful, but their weakness is also obvious.
"Of course, the droid swarm is powerful, but their weakness of high attack and low health is also obvious. Large droids and even mobile droid fortresses are rare and impractical. There is a demigod-level war going on in the depths of Star Cluster X, and the enemy is the demigod guardians who have been corrupted by the Mad Lord. These corrupted monsters also have highly intelligent command units. If the droid swarm continues to fight them with sheer numbers, they will be at a disadvantage. So, we need to make up for our shortcomings by building a fortress while the droid swarm is on the frontline. It can serve as a mothership to help the droid swarm advance."
Hearing this explanation, Vivian stared at Hao Ren for a long time as if she could see through everything. "Tell me about your other ideas."
Then, Hao Ren said another reason. "Because it sounds awesome."
Although this reason was a bit of a lie, Vivian and the MDT strongly supported Hao Ren's modification plan. The reason was that they really needed more combat power at this stage.
Enhancing the survivability of the Naqdal Continent would also give the sprites more security in the upcoming war. The target of the corrupted monsters had been confirmed to be the relics of the goddess of creation, and the sprites, as a vital part of these relics, would not be let go. The sprites were crystals found all over the Naqdal Continent. Research had found that these crystals were bound to the system of the entire continent and were an inseparable part. So in order for the sprites to survive as much as possible in the upcoming war, the best way was to make their homes indestructible.
Of course, hiding the entire Naqdal Continent, or even teleporting to a safe corner to continue their escape was also a solution. But the sprites were surprisingly resistant to this idea.
They did not seem to like fleeing, especially after they found the queen and learned that the ancient facilities on the continent could be restored. The sprites suddenly became combative. They strongly requested to return to the heart to support the battle there. Considering that it was impossible to persuade these annoying little beans with words, and he really needed Naqdal's power, Hao Ren just went with the flow and agreed.
While the Naqdal project was in full swing, Hao Ren and Vivian took the time to go back to the home planet of the Executors.
Hao Ren was worried that if he did not go back, Lily would tear down the entire base.
But the husky was indeed stronger than the regular domesticated husky. Lily did not tear down the base while Hao Ren was away. But when she saw Hao Ren, she grumbled about how boring it was to stay in the base and how she did not bring her along for the ride.
"I want to bring you along, but if I do, we will be blown up by the divine storm." Hao Ren could not do anything about the werehusky's complaints. "But don't worry, we have found the core of Star Cluster X. Once we solve the problem there, the blockade will be lifted."
Lily pursed her lips and had an expression that said, "Although I'm very unhappy, I'm quite sensible, so I won't argue with you."
The construction on the home planet of the Executors was also progressing at a rapid pace. The hastily built outpost base had now expanded into a massive, permanent fortress. Not only did it protect the long-range cognition array, the base even extended across the northern part of the Scorched Plains, all the way to the primeval forest outside the plains. A small part of the forest was separated by a barrier and had now become the base's' botanical garden '. Lily and Rollie hunted there every day, and every now and then, she would drag the Nangong siblings and Y' zaks there for picnics. Life was going well.
Lily's daily life was not boring at all. She just felt that Hao Ren was busy, but she could not join in the fun. It felt like she had lost a hundred million.
Walking along the main road in the base toward the residential area, Hao Ren saw the World Tree that Zorm had created with his tentacles. It stood at the end of the horizon. As the sun was setting, the canopy of the World Tree began to emit a faint magical glow. In the shimmer, there were some small man-made aircraft flying between the canopy.
"Executors?" Vivian squinted.
"You should have been there when they first came into contact with Zorm," Y 'zaks said with a tragic smile. "N-6 led the team. They carefully set off from the Zenith and hovered over Zorm's World Tree for half a day before finally coming down. They were setting up sentry posts and monitoring the underground data. Then, Zorm suddenly drew a half-kilometer-wide smiley face on the canopy of the World Tree. Then, he started to release fireworks and lights into the sky. He even roared' Hello Friend '. Half of the plains could hear him. N-6 almost opened fire."
"I can imagine it without looking." Hao Ren covered half of his face. "This is Zorm's style. I don't know how long it took him to come up with this."
"Hey, Battie, I heard that you are a queen now." Lily's gloominess disappeared as quickly as it came. She started to gossip again. "What's going on? What's going on? How can a poor man like you have such a rich job? "
Like Hao Ren, Vivian also covered half of her face. "Don't mention it. If you know what kind of creature I'm a queen to, you won't say that."
Hao Ren did not stay too long on the home planet of the Executors. Soon, the drone cluster sent a message from Naqdal.
They found the minions of the Mad Lord at the edge of Naqdal's perimeter.
