Tianyun No. 157 transport ship, Command Cabin.
Through the enormous porthole, Wang Chen watched the space fortress under construction in the distance.
Tampas Star's new Space Fortress!
Tampas Star had once possessed a large space fortress, but it had been destroyed by the Nether Race. Now that the star cluster had been reclaimed, work to rebuild the fortress's defense system was swiftly set in motion.
The scene was vastly different from when Wang Chen had last come here!
This brand-new space fortress was immense in scale, clearly displaying the Empire's determination to defend its recovered territory.
Even from several hundred kilometers away, Wang Chen could clearly see the sparks flashing from the newly built Space Fortress.
Around the fortress, hundreds of engineering and transport spacecraft of all sizes were busily at work, even causing congestion along the route to the stargate.
The transport ship Wang Chen was aboard only entered Tampas Star's synchronous orbit after waiting two hours.
"Sir, the landing craft deployment will begin in half an hour. Please prepare yourself."
A sergeant hurried over to report to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen nodded and followed him to the landing pod area, where he boarded one of the landing craft.
Tianyun No. 157 had undergone special modifications and could carry fifty landing craft of the same model at a time.
These landing craft had all been specifically designed for Tampas Star's unusual conditions.
After Wang Chen had previously returned with his people aboard the experimental spacecraft, the Empire obtained valuable firsthand data. Combined with the intelligence Wang Chen had provided, it quickly manufactured new specialized landing craft.
They had also been deployed to Tampas Star many times.
By now, the landing craft Wang Chen was riding in was already an improved model after several rounds of refinement.
