Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter.

Chapter 351 Sky Dome Airborne Mothership

More than two hours later.

Having completed all his tasks, Su Wu carefully reviewed everything once more.

After confirming that there were no oversights.

I returned to my seat in front of the console.

Using the communicator, he asked Chenyue, who was practicing dance in the dance studio, to bring him another pot of freshly squeezed juice.

Everything that needs to be done is done.

All that's left is to wait quietly.

Let the calamities ravaging the earth determine the fate of all living beings on the continent of Dongzhou.

6 month 27 day.

In the afternoon, at 13:27 PM.

While most Terra residents have finished lunch and are enjoying a short afternoon break.

A brand-new, massive metal ship slowly passed through the external passageway on the fourth floor.

An air port from which one escapes the shelter.

This is the scene of the sixth 10-ton second-generation Chenguang-class transport ship, which has just rolled off the production line from the assembly workshop and is about to embark on its first mission.

This was an important scene that should have caught Su Wu's attention.

Now, however, he simply ignores it.

Because, at the same time.

Suddenly, without warning, the entire Terra Vault began to sink at a noticeably faster rate.

It sank into the ground little by little at a rate of approximately one meter per minute.

A pivotal moment for the 1.5 billion humans who have decided to inhabit Terra, a momentous occasion for their future destiny.

Has come.

"That's too late."

"We'll have to figure out a solution for the unfinished parts later."

In the control room.

Su Wu's gaze was fixed on Assembly Workshop No. 1, which spanned the entire space from the first floor to the third floor and covered an extremely large area.

There, a massive metal behemoth, even larger than the second-generation Dawn-class transport ship, quietly lurked.

Base vehicle.

This mobile fortress was once personally driven by Su Wu and reached a desert 2700 kilometers away.

The modification began before the sixth-generation fighter jet was successfully developed and has continued until now. The second-generation Dawn-class transport ship, which is derived from the seventh-generation fighter jet and represents the highest crystallization of human technology, has been in service for quite some time before there is finally hope of completion.

The duration far exceeded Su Wu's initial expectations.

And now.

Although it's not quite a perfect modification yet.

But Su Wu no longer had time to wait.

He had to get it out of the ground before the exit passage on Terra's fourth floor completely sank into the earth.

Activate the wake-up program.

Accompanied by a series of faint gas leaking sounds.

The base vehicle, which Su Wu renamed Sky Dome, had its indicator lights on the outside lit up section by section.

The artificial intelligence installed inside began performing the final security checks.

A few seconds later.

In the variation of gravity in a local region.

This enormous vessel gradually rose into the air, bit by bit.

It slid out slowly, hitting the maximum size of the fourth-floor exit passage.

Then it hovered temporarily in mid-air not far from Terra.

The body continued to slowly extend outward until it formed a giant steel ship that was a kilometer long, about 300 meters wide, and more than 100 meters high.

This is the Sky Dome base vehicle, or rather, the Sky Dome airborne carrier, in its true form.

During the past renovation process.

Despite our best efforts to make room for it.

But given the size of the Terra Vault itself, it was impossible to accommodate the entire Sky Dome in any way.

Therefore, Su Wu had to temporarily compress the space inside the Sky Dome.

It is created using the special form of an embryo.

This, to some extent, increases the difficulty and cost of modification.

It also wasted a lot of extra time.

But all of this comes at a price.

At the moment of facing the final product, everything else seems unimportant.

"Sky Dome self-check complete."

"System operating normally." "Sufficient fuel."

"The early warning mechanism has been activated."

"Current airspace, threat level zero."

The Sky Dome's artificial intelligence sends operation logs to the control console in real time.

As an airborne carrier comparable in size to a small city.

Its detection radar.

After Su Wu invested a large number of survival points to enhance it, its performance was even more powerful than Terra's early warning system.

The monitoring range is up to a radius of 1000 kilometers.

It covers almost half of the Eastern Continent.

And more importantly.

Even amethyst crystals, which are highly concealed.

As long as its weight exceeds the critical threshold of 1 kilogram, it will also be unable to escape the monitoring of the Sky Dome.

This means that Su Wu had most of his attached shelters on the surface.

From now on, we will have a nearly absolutely safe environment.

No more worries about sudden intrusion threats.

I stared at the massive aerial mothership unfolding in mid-air on the screen.

Su Wu did not issue any further instructions for action.

Just let it stay quietly in place.

Then, it projected several nearly transparent gravitational traction channels onto Terra's airports.

From the airport, specially prepared containers of supplies are continuously being received.

Most of those containers contained combat robots and drones. A smaller portion consisted of missile launchers, heavy artillery clusters, and other heavy weapon vehicles.

There are also production lines for ammunition of various specifications, as well as raw materials.

These supplies will become one of the cornerstones for the Sky Dome to fulfill its mothership function.

After today.

Once we encounter another large-scale enemy attack.

The Sky Dome will replace Terra and be responsible for deploying the main ground forces to the corresponding locations.

It is also a sixth- or seventh-generation fighter jet that is still a mainstay of the air transport network.

It carries weapons, replenishes energy and ammunition, and provides maintenance services.

Shrink the image of the Sky Dome to a corner of the screen.

Su Wu through the lens of the Sky Dome.

He then looked at Terra.

During the time the Sky Dome separated from Terra.

The extent of Terra's sinking became even more pronounced.

The part located underground.

The intensity of the compression it suffered almost doubled.

In order to resist this destructive impact.

The anti-gravity arrays, distributed throughout Terra, are increasing in power.

It once reached over 10%.

A city-level energy shield and electromagnetic protective field located on the Earth's surface.

The intensity is at its maximum.

The light that burst forth changed from gentle to blinding.

The entire surface of Terra was submerged in a vast expanse of crimson and azure light.

Su Wu's gaze returned to the 10th minute of Terra.

Located on the fourth floor above ground, the airport, which originally reached a height of over 150 meters, touched the ground as Terra sank.

Therefore, it first stopped the delivery of supplies.

It began to shrink and fold, disappearing into the thick walls of Terra.

Next, there's the airport on the 10th floor and the 21st floor.

They also stopped one after another.

At the end.

Only the top floor of the 31st floor remained, where the final handover of supplies was being conducted with the Sky Dome in mid-air.

For a brief moment, the city shield shone brightly, illuminating the boundless world below.

It gradually died out.

Let the somber and gloomy color scheme return to the earth.
