They did not wait for long. After completing its system self-check, the megastructure began production on an experimental basis.
Vast quantities of transport ships dumped tens of thousands of tons of raw ore into space before rapidly departing. Accompanied by strong gravitational traction, the massive volume of minerals floating in the vacuum was pulled by a tractor beam toward the intake ports.
These most basic raw ores required no processing. The unified field force activated, directly crushing and reconstructing the raw minerals from the atomic level. As the field force moved on a microscopic scale, much like void printing, the outline of a warship took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just half an hour, a gorgeous warship exceeding twenty-five kilometers in length, its hull carved with massive reliefs, was printed out.
It followed the shape of the Imperium of Man. After professional redesign by imperial engineers, this ancient hull shape was reconstructed using brand-new technology. Over a hundred pulse macro cannons with apertures of more a dozen meters endowed this medium-sized warship with the combat power of a behemoth.
The speed at which the unified field force built ships was extremely fast. The only flaw was that, due to technical limitations, it was currently unable to imprint the psionic matrix, resulting in an inability to build pseudo psionic warships.
Even so, this was already enough. Although warships of this shape were still conventional vessels, they could easily destroy the vast majority of enemies thanks to their ferocious, large-caliber naval guns.
Printed out alongside this warship were a dozen civilian vessels of different types, including transport ships and industrial ships of various large, medium, and small sizes.
When the unified field force dissipated, Your Excellency Governor stopped his conversation and looked toward the giant shipyard array.
