Double penetration, starting from being a trader

From the perspective of these monitors, the spot was inconspicuous.

They wouldn't even notice it if it weren't marked by the satellite monitoring system.

At this moment, the spot is moving towards the direction of Canglan Star.

Upon seeing this, the head of the monitoring center said without hesitation:
"Taiyi, activate the planetary defense system!"

Taiyi's voice rang out in the monitoring center:
"Checking authorized personnel's identity information."

"Detection complete! Level 1 access privileges. Performing planetary defense system self-check."

"We are analyzing the satellite monitoring data."

"Analysis complete. Meets planetary defense activation procedures."

"Taking over all missile silos"

The planetary defense system of Xingfeng Gate is completely controlled by Taiyi.

It can lock onto targets using data and then directly control missiles to intercept them, which is much faster than manual methods.

Of course, two conditions must be met to start this program.

First, Taiyi did indeed detect an enemy force approaching unilaterally through satellite imagery.

Secondly, manual authorization is required.

In Taiyi's program, the human authorization command is the most important; without human authorization, the planetary defense system cannot be activated.

Only five people from Xingfengmen can authorize Taiyi.

The head of the satellite monitoring center is one of them.

He could issue orders directly without having to contact Liu Qian and Chen Feng, which was also to prevent unforeseen circumstances.

After issuing the order, the head of the monitoring center took out his phone to contact Liu Qian.

As Taiyi initiated the program, missile silos in dozens of military bases established by Xingfengmen in the open sea simultaneously entered a state of readiness for launch.

The unusual activity at the missile silos naturally caught the attention of the soldiers at these bases.

However, the soldiers were relieved after they realized that it was Taiyi who was controlling them.

Soon, soldiers at all the bases sprang into action.

Although Taiyi can directly control the missile launch silos, it can be activated by a program.

However, the missile launcher Taiyi cannot be directly controlled.

Because the missile launchers are all parked indoors, the soldiers need to drive them to an open area and then start them.

Today, the military bases that Xingfengmen has established in the open sea all belong to the Xuanwu fleet.

As the captain of the Xuanwu formation, Zhang Xuan learned of what had happened immediately.

He immediately ordered all missile launchers at the bases to be brought out from their indoor locations.

Inside Xuanwu City, Zhang Xuan looked up at the sky and murmured:

"Finally, it's time for our Xuanwu formation to make its move."

Although that's what he said, Zhang Xuan wasn't happy at all.

In the several major battles fought by Xingfengmen over the years, their Xuanwu formation has not been of much use.

For example, during the recent invasion by the Voidlings, not a single soldier from the Xuanwu formation was deployed.

More than a decade ago, Zhang Xuan was very happy because at that time, the Xuanwu fleet had not only established dozens of military bases in the open sea, but also built Xuanwu City.

He had been looking forward to the Xuanwu formation having a chance to show its true potential.

However, in the past ten years or so, not a single enemy has attacked Xingfengmen.

Especially after Chen Feng became the number one person on Canglan Star, all forces on Canglan Star submitted to Xingfeng Sect.

That's why he's not happy about today's missile launch.

This is because the missile launch is entirely controlled by Taiyi; the people in their Xuanwu formation are only there to help move the missile vehicles.

But Zhang Xuan had no choice. He couldn't very well tell Chen Feng to send their Xuanwu formation to intercept the enemy in space.

He probably won't be able to get his job as captain of the Xuanwu formation until he finishes speaking.

As he thought about it, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself:
"The strength within the sect is getting stronger and stronger, so why am I not happy? It would be a good thing if our Xuanwu formation didn't have to worry about us."

Zhang Xuan quickly composed himself and began using his mobile phone to direct the actions of soldiers at various bases.

The North, home to Planetary Engine Number One.

At this moment, the place is filled with cultivators from various forces, including hundreds of Nascent Soul experts and dozens of half-step Divine Transformation experts.

High in the sky, there were also several Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, these Nascent Soul cultivators did not appear in public, but instead hid themselves.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who attended the previous meeting are all here this time as well.

They all wanted to see the first planetary engine start up.

A large metal platform has been built on the vast open space below.

It's called a platform because it's so huge.

It occupies an area of ​​several thousand square meters.

And its height is even more frightening, reaching over three thousand meters.

The most impressive feature is a massive nozzle at the top, a ring-shaped structure composed of hundreds of movable alloy petals.

Each alloy petal is 100 meters wide, with sharp edges like a knife, and is currently in a semi-closed state.

The foundation consists of dozens of stacked ring platforms.

Humans stand before this enormous platform, as insignificant as ants.

"Is this a planetary engine? It's really huge." Nangong Wentian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had seen many magical treasures.

But this is the first time I've seen something as big as a planetary engine.

Especially its design; just one glance is enough to leave you in awe.

Chen Feng said:

"We are the ones who propel the entire planet; if we are not big enough, we won't have enough thrust."

Yun Qingjue asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how many spirit stones are needed to activate this thing?"

Everyone looked at Chen Feng.

During this period, all the major forces on Canglan Star have provided resources and spirit stones, but they really don't know how many spirit stones are needed to start this planetary engine.

Chen Feng said:

"The consumption is not very large. It only takes about ten top-grade spirit stones to start a planetary engine for a day."

The reason it consumes so little energy is because Harvey's planetary engine uses heavy fusion technology.

This technology involves fusing light nuclei into heavy nuclei under extreme high temperature and pressure, thereby releasing enormous energy.

This technology requires little spiritual energy, and the fuel it uses is silicon, which can be obtained directly from rocks.

This is somewhat similar to the planetary engines in the movie.

However, Harvey still added spiritual energy, because this would amplify the thrust again.

Only such large-scale equipment can use fusion technology because it requires constant fuel replenishment.

This is why Chen Feng wanted all forces to be involved.

Only by having cultivators from each region continuously add fuel to these engines can their operation be guaranteed.

Moreover, cultivators are much faster at mining rocks than ordinary people.

Upon hearing that it would only cost around ten top-grade spirit stones, the expressions of the several Nascent Soul cultivators in the room relaxed.

Although Chen Feng had previously stated that he wanted to build a final 20,000 planetary engines.

If all are activated, the daily consumption of top-grade spirit stones is 200,000.

Two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones is something that even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot afford, but it is nothing if the entire power of Canglan Star bears the cost.

Seeing the nonchalant expressions on their faces, Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what he was going to say.

Two hundred thousand a day is indeed not much. But Canglan Star needs to travel through the universe, and this journey may take several years, or even a hundred years.

That would consume a huge amount of spirit stones.

However, Chen Feng had a backup plan.

That means abandoning the addition of spirit stones to the fuel and using rocks as fuel entirely.

Although this would slow down the propulsion of Canglan Star, it is also a way to save resources.

Just as Chen Feng was thinking, Yue Yao's voice came from his phone.

"Sect Master, the planetary engine has been tested and is ready to be started at any time!"

Chen Feng said directly, "Start it."

As Chen Feng finished speaking.

The planetary engines on the ground below suddenly began to vibrate.

This tremor was not a violent shaking like an earthquake, but rather like the breathing of a giant beast before it awakens.

The alloy flaps of the engine nozzle also slowly opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire planetary engine began to vibrate violently.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding cultivators all stepped back a distance, their eyes fixed on the planetary engine.

Soon, the honeycomb-shaped injection holes inside the engine nozzles dimmed.

The light was small at first, but after a few seconds, it transformed into a jet of plasma hundreds of meters in diameter!

The plasma turned a deep blue color and transformed into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky!
The moment the beam of light appeared, a deafening roar followed – the roar of an engine starting up!

Everyone was stunned by the blue beam of light that stretched straight into the sky.

Spectacular, magnificent—that's what everyone was thinking at that moment.

"Is this a planetary engine?"

"It's absolutely magnificent! We actually assembled this treasure!"

"I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe that this thing can propel our Azure Star forward!"

"There is hope! We have hope!"

The crowd below cheered.

The Wandering Azure Star Project is now known to everyone.

As everyone knows, planetary engines need to be built in various locations on Canglan Star to propel it out of the Weiyang Starfield.

This is their only hope for survival on Canglan Star.

Yue Yao and his team were the most excited. At this moment, Yue Yao looked at the light that stretched straight to the sky and trembled with excitement.

This was far more stimulating to her than a nuclear explosion.

In the sky, several Nascent Soul cultivators were also staring intently at the plasma beam that stretched straight into the heavens.

Yun Qingjue looked at Chen Feng in shock and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm afraid only your Xingfeng Sect in the entire star field could design something like this. It's truly incredible."

Yun Qingjue had already used his divine sense to explore the internal structure of the planetary engine.

It is filled with all kinds of circuit components.

She couldn't understand the structure of this thing at all, even though every part was made of refining materials.

But when these parts are combined, they can become such a huge thing, which truly amazes her.

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"The first engine has successfully completed its test run, and the plan can now be fully implemented."

Lu Linyuan nodded: "Yes, I'll go back and mobilize all the manpower!"

A smile appeared on Lu Linyuan's aged face.

As the leader of the Cultivation Alliance, he cared deeply about the life and death of Canglan Star, and now that he saw hope, he was naturally very happy.

Nangong Wentian said, "It would probably take at least six months, or even longer, to produce and assemble 20,000 planetary engines?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Feng.

They all hoped that the engine could be completed as soon as possible so that Canglan Star could leave this place of trouble sooner.

The universe is so vast that even if the Void Spirit Clan's Void Refinement Elder came, he wouldn't be able to find them.

Chen Feng replied:
"In terms of speed, it does take about six months. The expansion of the factory and production both require time. However, if we don't plan for costs, the speed can be increased."

Lu Linyuan said decisively, "No need to say anything more. Just produce without regard to cost. Just tell us how many spirit stones and how many people you need, and we will provide them!"

No one else objected.

The invasion of the Voidlings could come again at any time; every day of delay could bring a crisis.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements later." Chen Feng nodded.

Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, his phone rang again.

The call was from Liu Qian, who was watching the planetary engine start-up from below.

Chen Feng answered the phone and listened for a while, then frowned:

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng looked at Lu Linyuan and the others and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just received news that an unidentified object in the sky is flying toward our Canglan Star."

"What? Could it be that the Void Spirit Clan's Void Refining Old Monster has already arrived!" Lu Linyuan and the others' expressions changed drastically in an instant.

If at this time, a Void Refinement cultivator from the Void Spirit Clan were to descend upon Canglan Star.

That would be an unprecedented disaster for them.

Chen Feng shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Although I've never seen a Void Refinement cultivator, this flying object isn't very fast. It should be some kind of magic ship or something."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, the expressions on their faces relaxed.

Lu Linyuan said:
"No matter what, we have to go and see. I'll notify the Cultivation Alliance to activate the Star-Protecting Array at full power!"

None of them had any objections, and they soon headed towards the starry sky.

At the speed of several Nascent Soul cultivators, it didn't take long for the group to arrive in the starry sky outside Canglan Star.

"How far away are they from us?" Lu Linyuan asked.

Chen Feng replied, "Soon."

Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, several Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to sense something and turned to look.

Inside Canglan Star, hundreds of missiles were launched from the ground and heading towards their location.

"This is your Xingfeng Sect's nuclear bomb!" Nangong Wentian, who was standing next to him, immediately recognized what it was.

The Xingfeng Sect's nuclear weapons were already famous on Canglan Star, and Nangong Wentian was naturally aware of them.

Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, let's move aside. This is used to intercept that French ship."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately transformed into streaks of light and flew to the side.

Chen Feng had mentioned to them before that Xingfengmen was intercepting enemies in the starry sky.

At the time, everyone expressed their support, and all the costs of the interception would be shared by all the factions.

Soon, hundreds of missiles pierced through the protective atmosphere and entered space.

Once they entered space, the speed of these missiles increased several times over.

These missiles then transformed into streaks of light, heading towards the depths of space.

"Gentlemen, the phones I gave you earlier can show footage of these missile strikes," Chen Feng reminded them.

This time, he also intended to show these people the power of missiles to intercept the enemy.

After all, they paid for it, so they should at least show the results.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately took out their phones. These were the smartphones Chen Feng had given them last time, which had some additional functions compared to satellite phones.

Many images appeared on the phones of the group.

These images were transmitted from miniature cameras mounted on the missile. (End of Chapter)
