A Risky Decision

The three arrived at the entrance to the Super Weapon without any major incident. Robert simply scanned his own pair of flashlight-like eyes, and the entrance opened automatically.

Gu Ding and Liliath followed Robert inside.

The moment they stepped through the hatch, Gu Ding and Liliath were speechless. This superweapon was practically a spaceship of immense size. Just by looking at it, Gu Ding knew that this thing was definitely several times larger than the Golden Eagle.

"This superweapon is over three hundred times the size of the Grey Eagle, equivalent to four Golden Eagle." Sea Emperor informed Gu Ding and Liliath of the findings, thinking they would likely want to know some basic information about the superweapon. "It's called Super Weapon because this ship has over a hundred turrets of various levels, the most powerful of which is the main cannon, capable of destroying an entire star system. This statement is not an exaggeration."

"There are also other types of artillery at various levels, including Armor-Piercing Cannon specifically designed to deal with warships, Antimatter Cannon with area-of-effect attacks, and Intelligent Particle Cannon specifically designed to target single individuals. Let alone Tenth-Order Gene Body, even Eleventh Order genetic being like the Universe Country Ruler or Military Department Marshal would be severely injured. And..."

Robert remained silent throughout, simply walking quietly deeper into the cabin.

Seeing Robert's reaction, Sea Emperor also fell silent. As Super Intelligence, he also had human emotions and could understand Robert's feelings at this moment.

The two followed Robert to the cockpit, and upon seeing the luxurious cockpit, their faces once again showed expressions of surprise.

Robert stood there, slowly surveying every corner of the cockpit. After a long while, he reached out and touched the armrest of the driver's seat. His metal fingers slid forward along the armrest, making a metallic rustling sound. He seemed to miss this feeling.

Neither Gu Ding nor Liliath spoke to interrupt, and the Sea Emperor remained silent as well.

"It took my partners and me thirteen years to build our first Super Weapon ..." Robert suddenly began, and after another moment of silence, he walked toward the control panel.

At the control panel, his hands moved with lightning speed, and after about three minutes, the screen finally lit up, projecting a 3D image. It was a concave hand mold, with intricate patterns vaguely visible inside, but the hand model was clearly of mechanical origin.

Robert took a deep breath and pressed his palm on it.

After the mold fits the palm, the 3D image transforms into the shape of a countdown clock.

Robert used his finger to move directly on the 3D image, adjusting the countdown to half an hour.

"Let's go," Robert said, turning around and nodding to Gu Ding and Liliath after he had done all that.

The three of them exited the first Super Weapon, Robert closed the entrance, and headed towards the second Super Weapon.

This time, Robert was much faster, completing the self-destruct program in less than three minutes.

"We must leave this desert as soon as possible," Robert said, leading the two back the way they came.

The three had walked along the passage for less than two minutes when suddenly they heard a loud boom, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently. This time, the tremor was dozens of times stronger than the one Gu Ding had felt on the outskirts of the battlefield, and Gu Ding and Liliath could barely stand.

"What happened? Have we been discovered?" Gu Ding's first thought was that the three of them had been discovered.

"We haven't been discovered yet. Sharp's attack just happened to land not far ahead... Moreover, because of his strike, part of the tunnel ahead collapsed, and we can't get back to where we started." Sea Emperor informed everyone of very bad news.

"Robert, use three excavators to dig another tunnel." Gu Ding immediately came up with a solution.

"Those three excavators are already scrapped. Before they were made, they were made of ordinary metals to make it easier for you to find materials. They are disposable. Excavating ten kilometers is the limit that I calculated I could reach."

"How about we retreat back into the Super Weapon and drive Super Weapon away?" Liliath suggested. "That self-destruct setting should be able to be canceled, right?"

"The self-destruct setting cannot be canceled," Robert shook his head. "Moreover, once we leave in this Super Weapon, the generals of the Federal Government will definitely notify the Federal Government headquarters immediately, and then we will be subjected to a frenzied pursuit by powerhouses who are stronger than the rulers of the country."

"We can't afford the consequences!" Gu Ding shook his head. "Even if the Federal Government obtains these superweapons, they would never use them under normal circumstances, much less drive Super Weapon around indiscriminately. Moreover, after obtaining these Super Weapons, they would probably sign written agreements with other forces as soon as possible, promising not to use them recklessly, otherwise the other forces would unite to protest. It's unrealistic to think that one person can control such things."

"It's going to explode in about twenty minutes. If we stand here, we'll die even sooner than those guys from the military," Liliath said, pursing her lips.

"Robert, do Super Weapon have Escape Pod?" Gu Ding suddenly thought of something.

"There are Escape Pod, but Escape Pod are designed for use on land, sea, and air, so you can't go underground from there." Robert had considered Escape Pod, but in the current environment the three of them were in, they were completely useless.

"If we can't go underground, we'll go through the sky!" Gu Ding immediately had an idea. "Robert, take us back to the Super Weapon."

"If we go through the air, won't we be shot down by these powerful beings? Although they can't fly." Liliath expressed her concern. "No matter how sturdy the Escape Pod is, it can't possibly be stronger than our Grey Eagle's defenses. Even the Grey Eagle can be shot down instantly by a Tenth-Order Gene Body warrior."

"So we need Sea Emperor to calculate the angle perfectly and use the shell of the Super Weapon to block all the attacks from the powerful beings." Gu Ding grinned.

Robert immediately understood Gu Ding's idea. "Great idea, let's go back!"

Although Liliath still didn't quite understand what Gu Ding meant, Robert's reaction seemed to suggest it was feasible, so she didn't raise any further objections.

The three quickly returned to the first Super Weapon that was programmed to self-destruct. After opening the entrance, they filed in one after another.

Robert walked back to the control panel and began working rapidly with his hands. The massive Super Weapon quickly began its self-check process.

The ship is in good condition.

The spacecraft is fully functional.

[Energy remaining: 33%]

Robert excitedly pressed the power start button, and the spaceship's hull began to vibrate instantly.

Meanwhile, the others engaged in fierce fighting on the battlefield also felt the ground begin to shake, and they all turned their attention to the source of the tremors— the Excavation Pit.

To everyone's astonishment, an enormous Super Weapon slowly rose up...
