Chapter 840: Section 835 - Cluster Appearance
The few military combat spaceships currently blocking Midway Island are a temporary team, relying on the advantages of proximity and firepower to bully the monsters on the island. However, compared to coordinated cooperation, they are definitely not as good as the spaceship battle group controlled uniformly by the AI "Adam".
It took quite a while before Chen Fei received a response.
"Approved!"
The reasons for approval were nothing more than twofold. The first reason is that the combat group controlled by Chen Fei would not cause too much trouble for the Blue Star Civilization. Speaking of trouble, it would definitely be the parasitic species "Sagali" of the alien race. Under the eyes of so many sovereigns and ability users, Little Chen cannot create much havoc even if he tries. The second reason is that the command center wants to see what the spaceship group with some Cangqiong Star Civilization bloodline in Chen Fei's hands looks like.
Releasing the spaceship battle group requires ample space, and Chen Fei certainly couldn't do this inside the No. 2 flagship.
He donned the "Dragon King" assault-type mobile armor and flew out of the No. 2 flagship, arriving in midair.
Now, the Henghai Tactical Weapons Group has also begun to mass-produce this combat mobility armor, supplying it to the active-duty forces of the military. All developmental data came from Chen Fei.
Both sides have maintained a close cooperation to this day. On the one hand, it was pirating without paying a penny yet still receiving funds; on the other, it collected a large amount of actual combat data contentedly, which was used for the development of new mobile armors.
In terms of the degree of cooperation, it was far more in-depth than Chen Fei's single "Canglong" project with the Northern Weapons Industry Group.
The next second, a huge spaceship suddenly appeared in the sky.
The airflow surged, and even the "Dragon King" assault-type mobile armor that released it was pushed away. Without the mobility of combat mobile armor, Chen Fei might have been directly blown away by this sudden gust of wind.
This was within the atmosphere; in the vacuum of space, massive objects exert a weak gravitational pull on smaller objects. The larger the mass difference, the more apparent this weak gravitational field becomes. Once it reaches the scale of a planetary body, it becomes actual gravitational force.
The first to appear was the No. 1 flagship. It was 80 meters long, the original version of the No. 2 flagship, which had been sealed for nearly two months. Now it finally saw the light of day again.
On the spot, Chen Fei threw out hundreds of energy points to start upgrading. Within a few breaths, the surface of the No. 1 flagship, which showed modular expansion layer by layer, finally stabilized at a length of 120 meters, similar in size to the No. 2 flagship. Not only did the size and weight increase, but its internal structure and various functional modules changed considerably.
When it comes to spending energy points, not a single point should be spared, especially for Chen Fei, who heavily relies on external force for combat. Upgrading external combat power could yield immediate results.
Only he could afford such real-time upgrades. In an actual spaceship manufacturing factory, such upgradability could not be played with so casually. After all, real life needs to follow industrial rules and could not operate like a game, upgrading whenever deemed necessary.
Soon after, 12 cooperative ships and two auxiliary ships appeared one after another, flanking the No. 1 flagship and forming a battle formation fleet.
Within the cooperative and auxiliary ships, there were also 52 large tactical drones, 64 tactical jets, 4 tactical bombers, 24 landing crafts, 60 combat mobile armors, and 500 combat mechs.
This was the original composition of Chen Fei's spaceship battle group, not just a lone flagship like the No. 2 one. If Louis Industrial Company hadn't timely replenished a batch of combat units, Chen Fei, whose "Spatial Branding" had been sealed by the supernatural ability suppressant, might have had to rely solely on individual bravery.
If it weren't for the advance notification, this suddenly appearing spaceship battle group might have faced the sovereign ships on the spot as if encountering a great enemy.
Compared to Blue Star Civilization's spaceships, the battle group's spaceship exteriors covered with "energy gathering shells" had a distinctly different style. After all, the latter technology mostly came from the Light Wing Ship design sponsored by the Silan Royal Family, merely relying on large-capacity "Super Star Crystals" and without having long Light Wings on the exterior.
In Blue Star, where the activity level of elemental energy is far less than that on Cangqiong Star, whether there are Light Wings or not does not make much of a difference. This layer of "energy gathering shell" was already quite sufficient, as the elemental energy extracted from the atmosphere was almost negligible.
The maneuvers of this spaceship group mainly relied on crystal energy, magic arrays, Chen Fei's Psi Skills, and the multi-thread parallel processing of the AI "Adam".
"Huh? Is this Little Chen's spaceship? Interesting!"
Standing on the bridge of the No. 2 flagship, Yan Ling curiously looked at the dark mass of spaceships with a cup of hot tea in her hands.
The very fact that this fleet could be stored in a storage space was already astounding.
If it wasn't impossible to transfer, or even if transferred the capacity might not be maintained, Chen Fei might not have been able to keep his "spatial branding".
In the face of sovereign will, individual interests and abilities are insignificant.
Louis Landon, who generously gave this gift to Chen Fei, must have considered this point, binding the "spatial branding" deliberately to this mode.
One by one, the "Apocalyptic Prophecy" was confirmed. To some extent, the sovereigns acknowledged Chen Fei's suspicious "variable" presence in the "Apocalyptic Prophecy". However, the extent of this "variable's" influence on the future, even the prophet Louis Landon himself didn't know. Regardless, no matter how bad the future gets, it couldn't get worse than the apocalypse. Plus, given how well Chen Fei's Psi Skills suited the battlefield and his prominence in the Cangqiong Star Civil War, everyone chose to believe in the presence of this "variable". They wouldn't dare not believe it, pulling him back from the front lines to act as a human porter in interstellar trade between Cangqiong Star and Blue Star.
To be honest, being a porter was also a good job. The income wouldn't be much worse than muddling through as a military contractor or growing mushrooms.
"External tools are all but illusions! The true power of a supernatural power user lies in themselves, not external objects."
Miyoshi Xuesen felt sore at Chen Fei for following an evil path. He believed Chen Fei should devote more effort to honing his supernatural abilities and developing more Psi Skills rather than wasting unnecessary thoughts on all sorts of gadgets.
Just recently, when he got struck by a dose of supernatural ability suppressant, he was immediately reverted to his original form. What was a spaceship battle group then? Completely useless.
He forgot that when an ability user gets hit by a shot of the suppressant, they revert no matter who they are, even himself.
These thoughts purely stemmed from jealousy, blatant jealousy. That's what makes him so nasty; he can't stand other people's success.
In essence, there was no difference between Miyoshi Xuesen, who leveraged his private ninja team to exert his A-level Dark System Ability, and Chen Fei, who manipulated various armed combat machinery. The reason they got along so well was that birds of a feather flock together.
"Miyoshi, if you and Little Chen were to have a one-on-one duel, who would win?"
Hearing Miyoshi's resentful muttering, Yan Ling wouldn't pamper this sly bald head. Her seemingly casual question was actually full of sarcasm.
"..."
This hypocritical monk immediately shut down.
Anyone with half a brain knew no ability user would voluntarily provoke a battle spaceship, especially a battle group with a complete formation.
A duel? The next second you'd be dead.
Even if an A-level Dark System Ability enabled ninja was incredible, they couldn't withstand a single frenzied 600mm heavy shell, let alone the opponent having more than one Element Annihilation Bomb.
"Detected massive energy reactions and high-energy rays!"
Just after the release of the spaceship battle group, while upgrades and adjustments were ongoing, Chen Fei received a report from the command center.
Not only the No. 2 flagship but the battlefield data link also connected various system modules of all combat units in real-time, integrating the data into a seamless combat system without any blind spots.
With a single government rule and a highly centralized military operation, the Cangqiong Star Civilization enabled the Blue Star Civilization to achieve global integration of military cooperation in the shortest time possible, making cooperation between sovereign states a reality.
Still, the distinctly different political structures of the two civilizations made their politicians' mutual derision a routine. One side mocked the other as backward and feudal, a dictatorship and hegemony, while the other derided the small planet with numerous governing bodies as seemingly cooperative yet inefficient.
"All combat units, fall back 5 kilometers!"
Command center issued another order, not only for Chen Fei's spaceship battle group but for all sovereign warships and surface vessels.
Even 5 kilometers away, the firepower from spaceships and surface vessels could still cover the island.
