Chapter 643: Fully Armed Mecha
In the silent universe, a small spaceship suddenly attached like a pack of wolves preying on their target, but the "prey" remained motionless, and the "wolves" seemed quite friendly.
As eight black ships were about to collide with the transport ship, more than ten suction-cup-like devices popped out and clung tightly to the transport ship's hull.
An invisible electromagnetic force field emanated from all directions, enveloping the transport ship.
Then these eight ships formed the hanging engine of the large transport ship, transmitting a powerful and unified thrust, and the hovering transport ship suddenly began to move.
Out of sight of anyone, this "hijacked" transport ship began flying toward the deep space of the universe.
And about over 30,000 kilometers away from this area, a regular micro travel ship navigated along a safe route.
The two rows of seats inside, totaling 16, were fully occupied at the moment.
A white man with deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge was looking down at a light screen. Suddenly, he looked up at his side, speaking softly: "The connection to the transport ship is severed."
Upon hearing this, the companions all breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions relaxing visibly, as if a burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
"The mission is finally successfully completed. It always feels like our tasks have to be carried out more cautiously each time."
"Being cautious is not a bad thing. Mr. Wang Ji sent us here because he trusts us; it's an honor to be a member of the family!"
"Hahaha, that's right, I only know that Old Mr. Wang saved my family, and that's enough."
Amidst laughter and chatter, this equally plain travel ship headed toward the distant depths of the universe.
...
Three days later.
"Lord, the Taigu Mecha, refitted with the weapons module, has been shipped out. Perhaps now it can match an S class in your hands. This is the most outstanding work ever created by Loki Heavy Industry!"
"However, there's a problem: the Taigu made after the Extreme Special Soldier expanded significantly cannot normally use the Flame Rain Frost Blue anymore due to their incompatible sizes. But surely, my lord, you have your ways, don't you? So Nuonuo sent it to you as well."
"Best of luck, stay careful, Nuonuo is praying for you at another academy!"
The image of a charming girl disappeared from the light screen.
In a silent and spacious underground hangar, Mu Fan's projection screen switched to reveal a gigantic round electronic smiley face.
It was the virtual image of Black.
"Mu Fan, just now, Nuonuo's Taigu Mecha has been delivered. She's very cautious: an autonomously piloted transport ship with only a few positioning devices and no extra components. The retrieval ship has now towed that transport ship back."
"Finally, a mecha with conventional energy sources for you to squander. Once the mecha officially arrives, we can begin our counterattack. To expand production capacity, Lord Black has already pulled out his ultimate skills. This time, we're going to thoroughly eliminate those damn bugs! All enemies daring to plunder Lord Black's resources should be annihilated, both spiritually and physically!"
Facing a planet so rich in energy without expanding massively has been suppressing Lord Black for too long.
On the below-ground platform of the Shadow Base, densely packed fighters already covered the area, Predator Fighters with high crystal stone as the energy source, equipped with second-generation biological radars recently upgraded by Black, umbrella-shaped striking projectiles specifically targeting Flying Winged Dragons, and Strong Pressure Particle Cannons for low-altitude firepower rain.
785 fighters!
This is the result of the Shadow Base's full production capacity. Nonetheless, what's restricting fighter production now is not the lack of equipment but the lack of resources.
Beneath the Shadow Base lies the most abundant high-density crystal stone mine and numerous associated zircon ore within hundreds of kilometers.
In Black's development plan, these resources would not be utilized until the final critical moment.
The strategy of free and relaxed resource use was designed from the start by Black and Mu Fan.
"How many fighters are left to be produced, and is the energy reserve for the Taigu Mecha ready?" Mu Fan calmly observed the large screen, the tedious data all etched in his mind.
"There are 520 Predator Fighters left to produce, and all energy reserves for the mecha are fully prepared. Should we use the truly rich mine resources for military expansion? One reminder: doing so will completely disrupt the Shadow Base's development plans."
"No change needed. Once the Taigu Mecha lands, begin the advance!"
"As you command, great host!"
On Planet 131, under the gray sky, a shadow finally emerged, heading straight downward.
At the same time, through the observation equipment of this shadow, a peculiar scene appeared on the light screen of the Shadow Base below.
Above the clouds, on the distant edge of another planet, large patches of purple emerged, painting the clouds in an exceptionally vivid and eerie hue.
"It seems like there's really something happening."
...
As soon as dawn broke on the fifth day, the long-time noisy Shadow Base suddenly fell silent, all the automated workshops that had been working fervently also came to a complete stop.
A giant red mecha, over 25 meters tall, stood up from the central part of the base, and two faint blue lights lit up in its eyes.
The ancient, graceful long spear "Flame Rain Frost Blue," originally taller than the Extreme Special Soldier, now in Taigu's hand appeared to be only half its height, like holding a small toy.
Mu Fan gazed at the Flame Rain Frost Blue surrounded by numerous metallic molds, and its beautifully burning spear tip remained unwaveringly splendid.
Black was attempting to use its method to match this weapon once more.
"Let Flame Rain Frost Blue temporarily be the banner of the Shadow Base!"
With a swoosh, a heavy and sharp "steel nail" ejected from the outside of the mecha's right fist.
On the left forearm of the mecha, a circle of dim flame glowed and flickered.
This was the new weapon mounted on the Taigu Mecha... "Red Flame."
"Black, it's time to move out!"
"As you command!"
In a massive rumbling sound, a highly shocking scene unfolded: the gigantic metal base, covering tens of square kilometers, astonishingly began to ascend.
Loose soil scattered and fell as the hangar bay hidden beneath the ground emerged.
With whizzing sounds cutting through the air, countless fighters were launched from within in sequence.
In the tremendous and deafening roar, Predator Fighters took off like birds just released into a grain field, overwhelming the sky.
The shadow completely covered the red mecha below, and Taigu's dazzling Thunder Blade Horn on its forehead now appeared as crimson as if dripping blood.
Surrounding it, more than 500 self-walking armed robots seemed to follow a single command, raising their guns and rushing in one direction.
Then, with Black's generous voice, the red giant Taigu took a step forward, and three huge engines behind it roared.
In the instant of purplish flame jetting out, the red figure ascended like the scorching sun!
Boom!
An acoustic wave exploded, and Taigu instantly broke through the sound barrier.
Advancing at a speed not inferior to the Predator Fighters.
At the same time, its left arm gently raised, and six thick crimson barrels began to rotate slightly along the mecha's outer shell.
In Mu Fan's eyes, there was neither joy nor sorrow. This was his ride.
Whether it's an S or a quasi-S...
Shall be tested on those damned bugs!
Giant Corruptors...
I'm coming.
