Twilight of the Gods, Food God Returns!

Countless science fiction novels and movies have a strange fascination with spaceships.

In their conception, humanity leaps forward like a giant leap, skipping the rocket development stage and entering the age of interstellar travel.

However, according to the normal Technology Tree, no matter how advanced spaceships become, rockets are the benchmark for the interstellar travel era!

Before the energy problem is solved, the more powerful the rocket, the stronger the interstellar spaceship! At first, Su Mo thought that the Youneng Shuttle Rocket would be the same as before, still cylindrical in shape, shooting straight into the sky.

But when it truly manifests, the shock it brings is beyond compare.

Following the stairs, Su Mo quickly returned to the spot fifteen meters away, the straight-out plate used to check for problems in the middle of the rocket.

Here, you can see the full view of the upgraded psionic rocket.

Its overall shape resembles an enlarged version of an eagle!

On each side of the eagle's wings are four conspicuous propulsion tubes, emitting a faint blue light.

At the head of the eagle, which is at the very front of the rocket, is a huge floor-to-ceiling "glass" structure, which looks majestic and imposing, like a work of art.

Every bump and depression, every rise and fall, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Every graceful curve and every detail, big or small, is a feast for the eyes.

Every now and then, tiny bursts of blue light would erupt from the rocket's outer shell, only to vanish quickly, leaving behind a great deal of mystery.

Such a divine Divine Object already involves cutting-edge knowledge from the Interstellar Age!

With current human technology, creating such an aesthetically pleasing item is not just extremely difficult, it's practically impossible.

But now, before Su Mo, before Lü Kuan.

It truly appeared! "Amazing! Such a miraculous change! What kind of power is this?!"

Controlling the cumbersome robot, Lü Kuan staggered down the stairs and stood close to Su Mo, looking down at him.

Then, he took another step forward and rushed to the bottom of the rocket, gently stroking its outer shell with his mechanical hand.

exquisite.

smooth.

Just like a young girl's skin.

Even though he is just a robot now, he can still feel the power of this upgraded psionic rocket through the data displayed on the sensors! As for the strength of the outer shell, it is based on the judgment mechanism he set earlier.

It's enough to reach level eleven Super Alloy!

"This is incredible! You actually possess such power? Is this an ability granted to you by the game?"

Watching Su Mo slowly descend, Lü Kuan did not stand up, but continued to rub the bottom of the rocket, trying to find a way to enter it.

"No, but in a sense, you can understand it that way!"

Shaking his head, Su Mo looked at the anxious Lü Kuan and stepped forward slightly, placing his palm on a sensor button at the bottom of the rocket.

The next second, a blue light instantly covered Su Mo's entire arm.

After the blue light disappeared, a push-type mechanical door on the rocket's fuselage slowly began to slide out.

"Wow, is this really that amazing? This is something that Earthlings could have created!"

The robot behind Lü Kuan can still only use the most primitive connection method.

Feeling that the line wasn't long enough, he ran back and added another section, then ran back as fast as he could.

Following behind Su Mo, the two of them were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, their hearts filled with curiosity.

At the very bottom of the rocket is the most crucial fuel tank.

Because it wasn't a segmented launch, and the fuel tanks are currently empty, they are completely unused.

Further up, you enter the ship's cargo hold area.

From here upwards, there is a space where passengers can move around, which is at least 160 square meters!

At the very top is the captain's cabin, which will also be used to control the Return Capsule back to Earth.

This part of the entire spaceship is the most solid.

There's even a small hidden energy design in this section, ensuring that even without energy below, it can instantly separate and safely break through orbital limitations to fly back to the ground.

"This is indeed the rocket we designed; I even have my signature engraved on this button."

"No, this isn't our design."

Upon entering the captain's cabin where he controlled the spaceship, Lü Kuan immediately took a few steps forward and ran to a corner to take a look around.

Here, he saw traces of the Kindling Base.

"This is your design, but I've made some optimizations."

Sitting in the captain's seat, Su Mo shrugged and pressed the start button.

Using the existing energy, although the rocket cannot be launched into the sky, it can still complete this self-check without any problems.

The control system inside the rocket, apart from a few minor changes, still uses the design of Lü Kuan and others.

With the necessary permissions, Su Mo quickly became familiar with this incredibly user-friendly operating system within minutes.

On the self-test screen, in addition to the energy indicator, green lights gradually began to illuminate, indicating that the spacecraft's performance had passed the test.

"Su Mo, this energy source is beyond our reach."

"Um, okay, I believe you can solve it, but it won't be this kind of bizarre method again!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lü Kuan leaned closer, and after saying "impossible," he immediately changed his mind and said "believe."

This change made Su Mo unable to hold back and burst out laughing.

Leaning back in his chair, Su Mo spoke slowly, "The energy problem is easy to solve, but before that, I need to solve your problem first!"

Lü Kuan asked curiously, "Our problem?"

"Yes, what level of attack can our base withstand at most!"

Upon hearing this, and sensing the seriousness in Su Mo's words, Lü Kuan immediately sat up straight:

"The base's main gate is made of Ninth Grade Alloy, capable of withstanding the impact of a million-ton explosion, while the base's overall structure is..."

"Fourth Grade Alloy!"

Scratching his head, Lü Kuan continued thoughtfully:

"When it was built, we never imagined it would turn out like this."

"In terms of defense alone, the base isn't very strong, especially in a few weak points. A 10,000-ton explosion would cause stress imbalance and collapse. However, we have the protection of 5,000 meters of water pressure, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to reach this area. And even if they could, they wouldn't have much power."

"If you're worried about potential enemy attacks during rocket launch, you don't need to worry. The rocket's material is now at level 11, making it the safest place in our entire base. If the enemy can penetrate this rocket, we'll die even if we hide in the base!"

Su Mo stood up. "Then move all the good stuff into the rocket, including the boxes that hold your brains!"

"Ah?"

"The attack we're facing is probably beyond your imagination. If this base falls, I'll just take a rocket and run, while you who stay will certainly face certain death."

"It's better to just move it onto a rocket. If there are no problems, I'll release you before you leave; if there are problems, we'll all run away together."

This time, Lü Kuan understood.

He nodded, which was a sign that he agreed with Su Mo's idea.

Even though he felt in his heart that there was absolutely no attack that could reach here and destroy the base.

But he chose to keep those words to himself.

Questioning those in power and going against their decisions is not a good habit.

Moreover, Su Mo did this in order to be on the safe side.

The starting point was not for themselves, but for these remnants of bodies that had been reduced to nothing but brains.

One by one, after clearing the space for the Brain Box, some small research instruments were loaded onto the ship.

Apart from the fuel chamber, the rest of the rocket was filled almost instantly with all sorts of things.

Even after all this, and despite Lü Kuan disassembling the large equipment, the spaceship's capacity was still insufficient.

"Never mind that, prioritize loading the Virtual Reality equipment onto the spaceship. If we can't take the Super Alloy manufacturing equipment with us, we'll leave it behind."

After careful consideration, Su Mo understood what was more important.

Even if the Super Alloy manufacturing equipment is brought to the base, it cannot be put to use immediately.

Only when the base has a stable power supply can this product begin to resume production and start to play its role.

But Virtual Reality is different. This thing can be taken back and developed into productivity, allowing everyone on the ship to enter into a frenzy of learning during their time on board.

There's absolutely no need to consider either of them.

"Centrifuge, liquid separator, and this simple separator... it seems like these things won't fit. Should we keep them?"

"Leave!"

The manufacturing equipment has been left behind, so these other things naturally have to be put on the list later.

With the right technology, and by finding the right place and materials, replicating it isn't that difficult.

The transport continued until the early morning of March 13th, more than ten hours after entering the ruins, when everything except the Brain Box was finally moved.

Without stopping, having agreed on a launch time of 11 a. m. the next day, Su Mo quickly left the base and floated to the surface of the sea.

At a depth of 5,000 meters, without contact with the Sun Chaser and the Hope, even Su Mo didn't know if other dangers might occur.

Fortunately, after surfacing and attaching Bluetooth Headset, the situation improved.

Soon, the Sun Chaser moved over, guided by the signal.

After climbing onto the boat and quickly washing up, Su Mo lay down in the cabin and fell into a deep sleep, as did Oreo.

Tomorrow's battle is of paramount importance.

In such situations, maintaining a good mental state will lead to better strategies for handling dangerous situations.

Nothing was said that night.

Su Mo slept until eight o'clock in the morning. After the alarm clock set by Gonggong rang, he got up and quickly typed in the settings.

Once nine o'clock has passed, the Sun Chaser will head straight for 300 kilometers away.

This is to prevent potential damage from game-related attacks.

At the same time, it was also to prevent the rocket launch from attracting crowds and potentially exposing the Sun Chaser.

After finishing all this and washing up, without even having breakfast, Su Mo took Oreo and headed straight underwater towards the base.

Unlike the previous identity verification, now that Su Mo had access to the entire base, the gate opened before he even got close.

Glug glug!

The main gate closed, the pump was turned on, and half a minute later, as the water was pumped out, the second gate slowly opened.

"Huh, that smell..."

Following the aroma of freshly baked bread, Su Mo quickened his pace.

But soon, his pace slowed down again.

In Su Mo's view, a robot wearing a white chef's hat and a pristine white chef's uniform was standing at the side of the room, skillfully making fried eggs.

Unlike yesterday, all the rust on the robot's surface has now been removed, and it has been polished smooth and shiny.

His face has also been filled with a lot of detail, and he can make most expressions, so he no longer looks so empty.

At the robot's joints, a considerable amount of lubricating oil was overflowing and nourishing as it moved up and down.

Seeing Su Mo approach, the robot turned its head, a slight smile appearing on its face:

"Su Mo, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Yan Xiaqing!"

Su Mo suddenly realized. "I know, you are that... the biggest, no, you are that medical expert!"

They stepped forward, and despite the difference between men and women, their hands were still tightly clasped together.

A moment later, after finishing Yan Xiaqing's specially prepared nutritious breakfast, everything was ready, and the Brain Box briefly disconnected its power.

Carrying the three-ton box, Su Mo easily placed it in the designated location and reconnected to the robot.

"Su Mo, this is Lü Kuan. I'll go check the rocket for you and prepare the launch procedures."

"Good!"

As if knowing what Su Mo was going to do, Lü Kuan quickly came up with this excuse and went briskly to the Captain's Cabin to start operating.

Once he had completely sat down and the Captain's Cabin's cabin door was half-closed, Su Mo began to move and went down into the Energy Room.

Leaning against the corner, it hunched over and straightened up.

Su Mo is still the same Su Mo.

But he is not the same person he used to be.

A perfect yet eerie aura emanated from him, and an aura completely different from that of the false gods in the sky also emanated from him.

Oreo, who was usually lazy, was now fully alert and looked at Su Mo with a puzzled expression.

But soon, Oreo lay down again.

She could sense that although Su Mo was unremarkable in appearance, he possessed a terrifyingly powerful force within him.

This power has no upper limit; once unleashed, the result will inevitably be earth-shattering!

Twilight of the Gods!

"It's time to get the game moving!"

A slight smile appeared on Su Mo's lips as he heard Lü Kuan's notification that the self-check was complete and he was ready to fire at any moment. Divine Light flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he instantly stood up straight! The next second, a powerful aura erupted!
