Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

The problem now is that Li Meng doesn't know if there will be a "Blue Devil" on star 2.

It's not good if a visitor from Star 2 wakes up those guys.

They could walk away, but Li Meng couldn't.

Want to stop them?

Li Meng looked up at the "Cobra" destroyer docked in the No. [-] dock not far away.

It was a big guy, a behemoth.

In front of it, whether it is a human being or an engineering machine, they are all ants.

With a length of 1.5 kilometers and an overall width of 0.5 kilometers, just stopping there, its stalwart posture brings great shock to people.

Although it has a width of 0.5 kilometers, it is not bloated.

The width of the main ship is only more than 200 meters, and the remaining width comes from the flying wing shield structure extending from the hull.

Its shape is a bit like a church, but not very similar, a bit like a church.

The engine, the cathedral-like hull, and the ram-like bow.

These three parts make up a battleship.

After stopping for a while, Li Meng continued to move forward.

Although the ark is not small, a ten-kilometer-class ark cannot accommodate a destroyer with a length of 1.5 kilometers inside.

Therefore, the docks of the ark are all peripherals, which is simpler.

The so-called docks are several fixed columns protruding from the inside of the ark.

When the ark needs to fly, it can be retracted.

When staying in a certain place, it can be stretched out and used as a dock to build warships.

There are 12 such docks in the entire ark, 6 on the left and right, divided into upper and lower floors.

The ten-kilometer-level ark dock can only build and repair destroyers and escort ships.

Larger cruisers, battlecruisers, and battleships need to build another orbital dock, or build a larger ark.

The Ark is under construction and only 12 of the 5 docks have been completed.

Due to manpower and material resources, only one dock was put into use.

Although Li Meng has a plan to build more "Cobra" destroyers, it cannot be realized in a short time.

"The Prince Regent enters the bridge, salute!"

Half an hour later, Li Meng walked into the bridge.

Compared with the bridge of Yuanxing, the bridge of the "Cobra" destroyer is more formal and practical.

It is also more spacious, without any extra equipment.

Of course, the main force of the bridge is still the mechanical priest.

Because some sophisticated equipment can only be used by mechanical priests.

The Naval War College trains all officers in the reserve service.

At a glance, apart from some mechanical priests, Li Meng only saw 6 members of the navy.

One was Ralph, the principal of the Naval War College and the captain of the "Cobra" destroyer.

One is his adjutant, and the other four are naval soldiers stationed on the bridge.

Seeing the regent walking in through the cabin door, the soldiers at the door raised their heads and let out a loud roar.

This made everyone in the bridge look over in unison.

Ralph quickly stood up from the only seat on the bridge.

Except for the mechanical priest, all the navy soldiers saluted Li Meng with a sky eagle salute.

It is a kind of etiquette with hands crossed, resembling an imperial sky eagle, placed on the chest, and bent over.

Ralph is a middle-aged man with a rough appearance, a strong physique, and a tall man.

Walking past Ralph, Li Meng sat down on the captain's chair.

"Are you ready?"

As soon as he sat down, Li Meng asked.

Ralph lowered his head slightly, and said: "Regent, due to the lack of slave labor, this battleship has limited combat capabilities, and I am afraid it cannot effectively deal with high-intensity battles."

In the human empire of Warhammer 40K, there is the strictest ban on intelligent AI.

As a result, the intelligence of the empire's warships is very low, and many slave labor are needed to fill the labor gap.

For example, moving ammunition, cleaning ships, and maintaining battleships also require a lot of slave labor to assist.

Even the electric drive of the turret has a mechanical booster as a backup.

Once attacked by electromagnetic weapons and the electric drive fails, a mechanical booster will be used.

The "force" of the mechanical booster comes from the human power of the slave labor.

There are only [-] slave laborers, and they are basically working for the construction of the ark.

It is impossible for Li Meng to waste a lot of labor to fill the slave labor gap of the "Cobra" destroyer.

It is even more impossible to wake up the dormant civilians and let them do those dirty jobs that are hard, tiring and dangerous.

Li Meng asked, "Can you make it move?"

Ralph replied: "Yes!"

Slightly waving his hand, Li Meng said: "Let's set sail, the target: Star No. 2."

Hearing this, Ralph straightened his face, he stood up straight, and looked at the starry sky outside the window directly in front of him.

"Heavy anchor, start the engine, leave the dock, destination: Star 2..."

Following Ralph's order, outside, in the No. [-] dock.

White flames spewed from the huge engine nozzles on the stern of the docked Cobra destroyer.

The anchors that fixed the hull snapped, and several fixed posts were also disconnected from the "Cobra" destroyer.

Without the fixed posts, the "Cobra" destroyer is like a ship floating in the water.

One side of the auxiliary engine started, and a long white flame spewed out.

The huge "Cobra" destroyer slowly left the dock sideways.

"It has left the dock, and the engine power continues to increase..."

Outside, the "Cobra" destroyer that was out of the dock, the thrusters at the tail spewed out more dazzling white flames.

Its plume is nearly a kilometer long.

Under the powerful thrust, the "Cobra" destroyer moved forward slowly.

The speed is getting faster and faster, and it flies out of the gravity well of No. [-] star.

After a while, the "Cobra" destroyer threw the ark behind him, the Yuanxing, far away.

"It has left the No. 1 planet's gravity well, the Geller force field is activated, the outer protective armor is closed, and the pre-start detection of the subspace engine is in progress..."

"The course is locked, the No. 2 star is locked, the navigator is in place, start the subspace engine, countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2..."

On the bridge, mechanical and hoarse voices echoed in Li Meng's ears.

Outside, the Cobra destroyer speeds through the darkened universe.

It's getting faster and faster...

Suddenly, the space in front of the "Cobra" destroyer collapsed.

A red vortex quickly appeared.

The red vortex is so weird, as if there are countless red tentacles sticking out.

The high-speed "Cobra" destroyer crashed into it.

The moment the "Cobra" destroyer flew into the vortex, the red vortex shrank rapidly.

Eventually disappeared without a trace.

After about 1 minute...

In outer space outside the gravity well of Star 2.

The dark space suddenly collapsed, and red energy rushed out from the torn gap, forming a vortex.

In the next instant, a huge warship flew out of the red vortex.

at the same time.On the other side of Star 2's orbit.

The alarm bell on the bridge of the firm-class frigate rang loudly.
