Global Crossing: Empire of Stars - Section 754

That stretch of time was long for a person, but negligible for a superweapon whose service life might exceed the lifespan of an interstellar civilization.

So, under the tense inspections of the most elite engineers from every race, this unprecedented behemoth ignited its engines and began its maiden voyage just three years later.

As mentioned earlier, a Star-class Warship drew its power from a Dyson Sphere. It directly siphoned energy from a star to power the entire War Machine.

As the Star-class Warship powered up, enormous streams of energy surged through its core engine. Tens of thousands of gun ports spewed cerulean Plasma Flame plumes several light-minutes long, and the behemoth slowly began to move.

When the engines of half a planet ignited and Plasma Flame burst forth, the colossal structure finally broke free from its stillness and began to move, sluggishly.

At the time, the enormous megastructure moved at a snail's pace. In its earliest stages, it crept forward by mere millimeters per second; anyone with less than perfect eyesight would have struggled to see it moving.

But this was the breakthrough from zero to one. What moved now was not merely the colossal outer shell: the star contained within, held in place by the Gravity Furnace, moved along with it.

Since its creation, this mass of matter, impossible to measure in conventional units, had no longer relied on external force. It had truly moved of its own accord, powered by the star's energy within!

An immense amount of energy was consumed, and the slender plumes supplied an unimaginable force. The Star-class Warship's acceleration gradually increased until, at last, its speed reached several meters per second—fast enough for anyone to see the colossal vessel in motion.

Lin Zhichen gazed at the enormous alloy construct. Its immense mass meant that
