Planet Haierfa, Qiongya Island .

Wenjing Aerospace Launch Base .

After some minor renovations, the starship’s construction dock had been set up at this location to save time and energy .

The dock was a giant oval structure which had a maximum diameter of over 5000 meters . Excessive facilities had been completely cleaned up . A lone spaceship lay on the dock . It was coated in light gray with edges as sharp as wide blades and daggers .

Via the images captured by cameras at every corner of the dock, Alice introduced various parameters of the spacecraft .

“Master, the spacecraft has a length of 860 meters, an average ship width of 102 meters, a ship height of 55 meters, and an unloaded weight of 2 . 45 million tons . ”

“It is powered by a third-generation nuclear fusion reactor with a maximum output of 1 million megawatts and a rated output of 250 thousand megawatts, which is a huge energy source enough for 200 million people . ”

“The sturdy energy system is paired with the latest ion propulsion engines . Under extreme scenarios, it can generate up to 15 million tons of thrust, allowing the spacecraft to accelerate to speeds greater than that of 6G . The robust power system has granted the spacecraft exceptional maneuverability . ”

“But most certainly, the highlight of this spaceship is still its colossal attack power . The vessel is equipped with a high-power laser cannon, electromagnetic cannon, large amounts of nuclear missiles and enormous nuclear torpedoes . Aside from that, there is also a particle-beam gun three meters in diameter installed at the middle portion of the ship’s bow . ”

“The firepower of the particle-beam gun is simply astonishing . It can emit high-energy particle streams up to 20% the speed of light and disintegrate everything in its way . ”

The downside was that its recharging time was rather long, thus it could only be fired once every five minutes .

In short, in terms of combat power, this spaceship was a force to be reckoned with .

However, the spaceship was awfully fragile in terms of defense . It had no energy shield nor force field alloy, only meager amounts of high-strength nano-alloy armor whose thickness did not really make the grade . If the spaceship were to be blasted by a massive nuclear bomb or suffer a direct hit from the enemy’s particle-beam gun, it was basically a goner .

According to Alice’s evaluation, due to the spacecraft’s excellent maneuverability and attack power, its comprehensive combat power was about 15, reaching the level of an E-class battleship .

“Just 15 combat power?” Chen Jin shook his head . If this seemingly ferocious object in the dock were to be brought to Earth, it would definitely be deemed as a totem which could wipe out everything in existence . But on a universal scale, with a combat power of merely 15, it would still fall under the “fodder” category, unable to secure even a spot in the elite class .

“Alice, you should correct your statement . We still do not possess formal military defense capabilities, only the ability to delay our enemy’s pace just barely and slightly setback our doom timer . ”

“Master, what is your definition of a capable military defense?”

“A C-class battleship . Create a C-class battleship with a comprehensive combat power of above 1000, or even a more powerful B-class battleship . Only then will I consider us to have the capability of self-protection and formal military defense capabilities . ”

“Oh…” Alice nodded .

Had the E-class battleship been created just to waste resources?

Of course not . Firstly, it could be used as a test battleship to analyze various systems and provide actual data . Secondly, for all the myriads of space junk floating around planet Haierfa, they now had a designated cleaning tool .

“All the space junk shall be handled by this spaceship . Perhaps it won’t take too long until we’ll get to see the clear and translucent starry sky on planet Haierfa . ”

Chen Jin even gave this interstellar battleship a name . It was to be known as “The Cleaner”, a name of the utmost relevance .

Considering that E-class battleships only had regular combat power, there were only plans to build one unit of this class of battleships . In addition, Alice was required to develop a type of interstellar battleship with a comprehensive combat power of 50 or more within around 10 years . By that time, perhaps more battleships at least 10 units or above would be constructed,

…

After visiting the Starship Dock, Chen Jin linked up with artificial intelligence Nuwa to question her about some issues .

“Nuwa, how is Planet Haierfa’s environmental transformation going? When I looked at the planet two days ago, I realized that much of the land was already covered with lush greenery . The whole of Mi, Europa and Asia have almost all turned green . ”

“The sea is filled with big fishes and shrimps, and their numbers are so immense that they simply can’t be counted . The sky in most regions is blue, as gorgeous as a precious gemstone . It even made me think that you are extremely efficient and you have accomplished the task I gave you very quickly . ”

Nuwa, however, shook her head . “My task is not yet accomplished . It is only half complete . ”

“I have named the grass you have seen the Everlasting Grass . It is characterized by its drought tolerance and resistance to both high and low temperatures . Its roots can spread 30 meters below the surface, and it can survive from low to high altitude . Once this species of grass has taken root, it will release a corrosive liquid from its roots that can turn even the most solid granite into soil . ”

“The everlasting grass tends to grow as a single, large body . Through their connected root system, they can transport water and nutrients to each other even up to 100 kilometers away . No matter what the landscape, once it is planted with the everlasting grass, they will all be covered in it . ”

“For a 45 million square kilometer continent, it will only take five years for it to be overgrown with everlasting grass . ”

“By planting everlasting grass and further accumulating about five years of green manures, the everlasting grass can be removed to make space for other species . ”

“The situation in the sea is similar . Lots of seaweed and herbivorous seedlings will be thrown into the sea in earlier phases and other fry will follow at later stages . ”

“In short, it will take at least another decade or so for us to build a rich and diverse ecosystem and let the system run smoothly on its own without requiring external intervention . Only then can the transformation be considered complete,” Nuwa explained . The transformation of the ecological environment was a systematic project and was not as easy as imagined .

Okay then . It would be at least another decade before Chen Jin could have a truly habitable new planet with a spectacular environment . It was if a house was being renovated, and he had to wait patiently .

Of course, it wasn’t that he was very eager to visit . He just thought that this unit called time was much like a progress bar, sometimes you would want it fast, and sometimes you would want it slow . Sometimes it would cause you to panic, sometimes it would make you groggy .

Chen Jin felt that there was not much challenge back on earth . Everything was under his control and his goals and plans would unquestionably be realized . But he still could not take relax .

“10 years, exactly 10 years . ”

“There are probably three major things left on earth that I’ll need to smash a record to achieve . I will level out the obstacles of the future, ensuring that Earth and Xing Hai Technologies are guided towards a bright roadway . ”

“When I’ve successfully conducted all those big things, the focus of development can be shifted towards planet Haierfa, and in turn, Earth’s resources shall be used to serve planet Haierfa . ”

The first big thing would have to begin with the ban on guns in the M nation . He would need Lanfelord to completely eradicate the special interest groups . However, as soon as this reform began, the opposition and madness of these special interest groups left every single soul in shock . Their reaction was also light years away from what Chen Jin expected .
