Chapter 1036: Challenge
This suddenly appeared behemoth bore at least 50 percent resemblance to the spaceport of the Mechanical Serpent constellation.
However, this "transportation spaceport" had eight port gates—up, down, left, right, southeast, northwest, and so on. Naturally, these directions were based on the planet as the point of reference.
Each port gate stood thirty thousand meters high and radiated powerful spatial fluctuations. Behind the spatial gates lay enormous berthing spaces. They clearly used "spatial folding technology," forcibly expanding a port that could originally berth only a hundred or so starships to one capable of accommodating tens of thousands.
As for the mechanical platforms, artificial intelligences, antigravity devices, unmanned cargo carriers, magnetic-field turbines, and similar equipment, they numbered in the tens of millions.
Although this was a Tier Three civilization structure, this "civilization structure" was clearly top-tier, on the same level as a planetary computer.
The system also issued a notification—
The faction you belong to has installed a "Transportation Spaceport." Faction points +10 million
High Engineer glanced at the mechanical energy of the "Transportation Spaceport" again. It had reached fifty billion, and this was only the basic version. As it was enhanced and upgraded, its mechanical energy would most likely surpass one hundred billion.
He believed this because the spaceport's most important module, the "Interstellar Expressway Module," had not been activated.
And this module was the main reason High Engineer had chosen it.
With the "Transportation Spaceport," they could use it as a hub to lay down an "interstellar expressway." With an interstellar expressway, they would effectively have a public interstellar route.
Among non-ascended civilizations, this was one of the few transportation methods capable of increasing travel speed from the speed of light to faster-than-light.
This was crucial to High Engineer's plan to turn "Horned Whale Alpha"
