Star Survival: The 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 would be bad if the visitors from Star 2 woke up those guys.

They were able to walk away, but Li Meng couldn't.

Want to stop them?

Li Meng looked up at the "Cobra" destroyer docked in the No. 1 dock not far away.

That's a big guy, a behemoth.

In front of it, both humans and engineering machines are ants.

The length of the ship is 1.5 kilometers, and the overall width is 0.5 kilometers. It just stops there, and its majestic appearance brings great shock to people.

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

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

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

The engine, the hull that resembles a church, and then the bow that resembles a ram.

These three parts make up a battleship.

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

Although the Ark is not small, the ten-kilometer-class Ark cannot accommodate a 1.5-kilometer-long destroyer inside.

Therefore, Ark's docks are all peripheral and simpler.

The so-called docks are several fixed pillars extending from the inside of the ark.

When the Ark needs to fly, it can be retrieved.

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

There are 12 such docks in the entire Ark, 6 on each side, divided into upper and lower floors.

The ten-kilometer-level Ark Dockyard can only build and repair two levels of warships: destroyers and escorts.

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

The Ark is under construction, with only 5 of the 12 docks completed.

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

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

"The Prince Regent enters the bridge and salutes!"

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

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

It is also more open, without any extra equipment.

Of course, the main force on the bridge is the Mechanic Priest.

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

The trainees trained by the Naval War College are all officer reserves.

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

One is Relf, ​​the president 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 Prince Regent walking in from the hatch, the soldier at the door raised his head and let out a loud roar.

This made everyone in the bridge look over.

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

Except for the Mechanic Priest, the naval soldiers all gave Li Meng an eagle salute.

It was a ritual in which the hands were crossed in the shape of an imperial eagle, placed on the chest and bent down.

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

Li Meng walked past Ralph and 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: "Back to the Regent, due to the lack of slave workers, this battleship has limited combat capabilities and may not be able to effectively cope with high-intensity battles."

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

This resulted in the empire's warships having a very low level of intelligence, requiring many slave workers to fill the labor gap.

For example, transporting ammunition, cleaning ships, and maintaining warships also require the assistance of a large number of slave workers.

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

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

The "power" of the mechanical power-assist device comes from the human power of slave workers.

There were only five thousand slave laborers, and they were basically working on 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.

We cannot wake up dormant civilians and let them do dirty work that is hard, tiring, and dangerous.

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

Ralph replied: "Yes!"

Waving his hand slightly, Li Meng said: "Let's set sail, target: Star No. 2."

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

"Weight anchor, start the engine, leave the dock, destination: Planet 2..."

Following Ralph's order, outside, in the No. 1 dock.

The huge engine nozzle at the rear of the docked "Cobra" destroyer spurted white flames.

The anchor holding the ship's hull suddenly disconnected, and several fixing columns were also disconnected from the "Cobra" destroyer.

Without the fixed pillars to fix it, the "Cobra" destroyer is like a ship floating in the water.

The auxiliary engine on one side started up, spitting out a long white flame.

The huge "Cobra" destroyer slowly broke away from the dock laterally.

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

Outside, the "Cobra" destroyer broke away from the dock, and the tail thruster sprayed out more dazzling white flames.

The length of its tail flame is nearly a kilometer long.

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

The speed is getting faster and faster, flying out of the gravity well of Star No. 1.

After a while, the "Cobra" destroyer threw the Ark behind it, the Yuanyuan, far away.

"It has escaped from the gravity well of Star 1, the Geller force field is activated, the outer protective armor is closed, and the subspace engine pre-start detection is in progress..."

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

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

Outside, the Cobra destroyer sailed at high speed through the dark space.

The speed is getting faster and faster...

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

A red vortex quickly appeared.

The red vortex was so weird, as if countless red tentacles were protruding from it.

The "Cobra" destroyer flying at high speed crashed into it.

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

Eventually disappeared without a trace.

About a minute later...

In outer space outside the gravity well of Star 2.

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

The next moment, a huge battleship flew out of the red vortex.

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

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