Chapter 900: Chapter 673: A Magnificent Masterpiece! Shadow Island!
As the words fell, Mu Fan was surrounded by a ring-shaped screen displaying the bird’s-eye view of the Shadow Base.
Mu Fan finally saw the massive mechanical arms forming a colossal ring.
Those densely packed heavy engineering vehicles, with one visible every couple of hundred meters, were spread out according to a fixed distance.
Viewed from above, it had a kind of awe-inspiring heavy metal industrial aesthetic.
Mu Fan never knew when Black had stockpiled such an exaggerated number of heavy engineering vehicles.
Then right before his eyes, those mechanical arms extending towards the sky and then bending into the earth…
Suddenly trembled simultaneously.
The ground where the mechanical arms entered exploded thunderously.
Boom!
Boom!
It was like the grand scene of a mountain exploding, thousands of giant plumes of dust rose from the ground, and in a blink, covered the entire sky.
Mu Fan stared wide-eyed, “What is this?”
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive tremor came from deep underground, penetrating through metal, spreading directly from the soles to his body.
Mu Fan felt as if he was standing at the source of an earthquake.
His brain roared, feeling at that moment as if the sky was collapsing and the earth splitting.
Then suddenly his feet shifted, regaining his balance, Mu Fan felt as if he was… ascending?
As his gaze fell on the screen, he could no longer look away.
In the spreading dust, the ring boundary remained clear.
The ring composed of tens of thousands of heavy engineering vehicles began to rise.
And using them as the boundary, a whole landmass with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers…
Was actually slowly rising.
This magnificent scene was like a giant from the starry sky, using supreme power to forcibly separate a landmass from a planet, breathtaking and overwhelming.
In the endless dust, the ring-arranged heavy engineering vehicles were becoming clearer.
Amid the deafening roar, Mu Fan’s gaze landed beneath those engineering vehicles.
Cracked rocks fell down, and an infinitely long and deep metal shell emerged from the dust.
On that surface resembling the armor of a warship, shone the unique bright luster of metal.
The mechanical arms of the heavy engineering vehicles precisely docked with the grooves on that metal shell.
This piece of land floating into the air, with a diameter of over 400 kilometers.
Now this diameter of over 400 kilometers of land was totally isolated by steel from below.
And this piece of land was still continuously rising, with the steel armor being extracted below seemingly endless.
Finally, Mu Fan’s feet trembled again, and the image of the rising block of land stopped in mid-air, starting to shake continuously.
“What happened?”
As Mu Fan asked incredulously, there was a buzz.
The light in the central control room suddenly dimmed, then brightened again.
A dazzling blue light emerged from the cracks of the separated ground.
And then Mu Fan saw what emerged from the dust was… rock and soil!?
Beneath the giant steel armor over a thousand meters deep, the blue light was uniform and soft, those rocks and soil were bizarrely adhering to the bottom.
“What… is this?”
Mu Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock within, and asked in a daze.
Black laughed triumphantly, its electronic eyes narrowed into a straight line, a giant three-dimensional structure resembling a gyroscope appeared on the screen.
Mu Fan instantly recognized this was the current state of the Shadow Base.
This was clearly a Steel Gyro magnified a hundred billion times!
“Hahaha, this is my greatest work to date — the Half-star body Space Fortress!”
“All the iron from open-pit mines on Planet 131 has been refined by me, eventually forming the base layer ring-shaped armor of this fortress. The most important resources of this planet, the High Crystal Stone mines, are all buried underground, and they are the most vital resources of this planet. Even bugs know to dig these things, yet the Federation doesn’t cherish them. This rich land is really hard for me to part with, so I…”
“Uprooted them completely.”
“Adopting the eleventh-generation Force Field Combination Technology of Sky Bird, beneath the central control room at a depth of 1279 meters, a Star Core simulating the star body’s gravity field was constructed using mined High Crystal Ore, and a Tokmak Device for magnetic field-constrained nuclear fusion was successfully arranged around the Star Core. Now, every second is like having a small nuclear bomb exploding. So, after the base ascends into space, the existing energy is sufficient to support more than 1000 years of standard navigation.”
“If fuel is added halfway… how long it can drift, even I don’t know.”
“Otherwise, why did I only produce such a small number of fighters before? Now, no one could snatch your base, Mu Fan.”
Black used a dreamy language to reveal to Mu Fan the exaggerated truth that broke past the sky.
Mu Fan didn’t even know, such a scale of controlled fusion reactors was never mentioned in publicly available documents of the Federation.
And just now, Black brushed it off with a casual tone.
“Surface height 75 meters, underground depth 4900 meters. Unfortunately, there was Zeg before, and the iron ore extraction was limited to this, otherwise I would have circled more land,” Black said regretfully.
“Alas, I didn’t even want to leave the residue from those High Crystal Stones to the Federation, now only some remains for them. But I can tell them, there are still plenty of mines on the other side of the planet, they can freely extract, as long as they can beat those bugs.”
Listening to Black’s long chatter, Mu Fan watched that giant … Floating Island that had completely ascended into the sky, his gaze had almost become numb.
That dazzling crystals covered the terrifying base’s bottom, at first glance, it looked like a city foundation made of Diamonds.
“So, it shouldn’t be called Shadow Base, it should be called … Shadow Fortress? Now, have we already ascended to mid-air?” Mu Fan said hoarsely.
“Precisely, we are now at an altitude of 6800 meters. As for the name, it still has to be devised by the great master host! However, my opinion is, if it’s called a fortress, would that be a bit limiting…” Black seriously discussed it, but Mu Fan heard a sense of cheekiness in the language.
“You promised to build only one base, now you’ve made a Floating Island.” Mu Fan rubbed his nearly stiff face.
Shura had just given him the shock of the Emperor Body Mecha, Black immediately tried to outdo it with a huge surprise.
“Surprise, this really is a surprise…”
“So you’re saying the Shadow Base has transformed into a space island, if that’s the case…”
A fierce breath forced out, Mu Fan pressed his hands firmly on the console.
At this moment, those metal screens vanished, the scenery of the ring-shaped giant floor-to-ceiling windows abruptly changed.
Transformed into high-altitude clouds.
Black at this instant withdrew the shielding device over the central control room.
It wanted Mu Fan to feel this magnificent base with the most direct view.
This is Black’s grand work, which it was willing to use its lifetime to maintain in this world!
As it manifested, it marked the official debut of the super intelligent lifeform Black of the Yake Empire in this world…
Mu Fan slowly cast his gaze around, looking at the fast-moving clouds.
Shura brought him peak martial power, Black brought him technology beyond limits.
At this moment, he felt a burst of majestic enthusiasm in his chest!
A strong confidence emerged.
Mu Fan took a deep breath, his eyes deep and resolute, he slowly opened his mouth:
“The name indeed should be changed.”
“…From Shadow came, to Shadow returned. In that case, from now on, it shall be called…”
“Shadow Island!”
