Kolev wondered: "You have the technology and resources, wouldn't it be better to just build a dreadnought?"

"At this stage, we can indeed support two to three dreadnoughts."

Yang Ming said slowly:

"But that would drag down the development of our civilization. At this stage, we focus on defense. With the resources to build a dreadnought, we can build four to six large-caliber planetary cannons that are more powerful than the main gun of a dreadnought.

"For example, Xiao Lu is currently working on the satellite fortress project. We plan to use ten galactic years to hollow out a natural satellite with a diameter of 600 kilometers and build it into a firepower fortress. It will be equipped with three planetary cannons, which can play three roles.

The firepower of a dreadnought.”

"Ten years?" Emilia asked in surprise.

Yang Ming sighed: "I know, this time is indeed a bit long, but we cannot invest all resources into this project. This is only one of the twelve major military projects of Dark Star. Ten years is only a conservative estimate. If the increase in the scale of civilization is calculated

With the resource enrichment effect, it is possible to complete the project in six to seven years."

Kolev and Emilia's robots looked at each other.

The old pirate cursed: "We are surprised that you can complete such a large project in such a short time! Satellite fortresses usually take decades or hundreds of years to build!"

"Is it because I have no common sense?"

Yang Ming looked innocent:

"That's what she said when she reported it.

"After all, Dark Star is a purely mechanical civilization, and its efficiency is seven to eight times higher than human civilization. It is normal."

Lu's laughter sounded in the ears of the three people at the same time: "Boss, the difference lies in the overall scheduling ability and the individual efficiency of the machine. This is the key factor."

The projection of Lu appeared on the side, wearing a silver combat uniform, with long black hair hanging behind his back, and his bright eyes shining with the light of wisdom.

She bowed slightly towards Yang Ming, Kolev and Emilia:

"Boss, do you want to start the launching ceremony now?"

"Well," Yang Ming said, "the audience is here, let's get started."

"yes."

Lu's expression immediately became very serious.

A projection of a console appeared in front of her, and after pressing a few buttons... it was quiet outside the porthole.

Kolev whispered: "Is there going to be a beam of light that flashes, and then the planet in front of us is blown up?"

"Of course not," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Why are we blowing up planets when we have nothing to do?"

"This is how powerful countries test weapons to promote their military power," Kolev said with a smile. "If you don't blow up a few planets, you won't be able to establish your own deterrence."

Emilia suddenly said: "There is a vortex in the planet's clouds!"

"The observation is really careful," Lu admired in a low voice.

The three robots moved closer to the porthole and watched the changes in the vortex of the planet's clouds not far away.

In the middle of the vortex, a giant ship slowly rushed out of the atmosphere.

A soft halo of light spreads around the periphery of the giant ship. There is no muzzle on the front, and the smooth lines of the 'whale head' have a sense of physical beauty.

Kolev turned to glare at Yang Ming: "This kind of giant ship you built on the surface of the planet?"

"Otherwise? To be precise, it should be underground."

"What materials are you using? Can the planet's gravity directly offset it? Large shipyards must be located at the edge of the gravitational balance zone. Is it wrong common sense?"

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Secretary work requires it. There is no other way. We can only pay more costs for this."

"The ship could actually go into the eye of the gas giant's storm and hide," added Law.

As he spoke, the giant ship had already sailed out of the dense atmosphere, and the halo of light around the ship became even brighter.

That kind of aperture actually simulates a gravity field and is the best power source for very large ships. - Currently, only all kinds of cost-saving and lightweight very large merchant ships will use working fluid propellers and stellar sails.

and other relatively primitive means of propulsion.

It was flying towards the three of them.

A dozen dark warships appeared outside the porthole window.

These warships slowly spread out and formed a escort formation, with the center position reserved for this giant warship.

The giant ship began to adjust its attitude, its speed steadily increased, the halo around the ship slowly faded, and the dark ship became solemn and solemn.

As the distance between the giant ship and the battleship formation continues to shorten, the sense of oppression brought by the giant ship becomes stronger.

Ten minutes later, the giant ship seemed to be crushing the battleship where the robot was, and the entire formation began to sail simultaneously. The giant ship filled the sight of the three robots and "slowly" moved forward.

"This is too fucking shocking!"

Kolev cursed.

Emilia asked in a low voice: "What is the purpose of this huge ship? I mean, why do we build this huge ship."

"Scientific research purposes."

Yang Ming admired the huge ship outside the window and said slowly:

"To be specific, this is a scientific research ship. It carries hope and also represents asylum. Do you want to come with me to visit it?"

"May I?"

Emilia felt a little nervous inexplicably, and a little excited under the nervousness.
