Half an hour later, the fleet arrived at the far side of the Kona Satellite.
The outer warships remained in orbit, while roughly a third of the transports and engineering spaceships broke formation and landed separately on twelve plains surveyed in advance.
Every site they selected lay outside Great Xia's independent defense zone.
Relayed through satellites, the footage was soon transmitted back to Kona Base.
Spaceships hundreds of meters long descended vertically, the particle streams from beneath their hulls kicking up vast clouds of dust.
Once the ground settled again, dozens of hatches along the sides of the spaceships opened simultaneously.
The Combat Robots emerged first.
Rather than expanding outward, these robots quickly established security perimeters around the spaceships, then released large numbers of probes to scan the underground structures and surrounding environment.
Only after confirming that no Demon Clan forces were present did the Engineering Robots and heavy transport platforms pour out of the hatches.
"They've deployed more than three hundred thousand units."
"Modular facilities, smelting equipment, automated production lines, and large underground drilling facilities detected."
Metal modules originally folded atop the transport platforms extended their supports, then adjusted their positions automatically once connected to power.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of independent modules finished joining together, forming a basic industrial base covering several square kilometers.
The fusion reactor at the center of the base started up first.
Once power was connected, the automated smelters, parts factories, robot production lines, and defensive equipment factories began operating in succession.
Underground drilling robots delivered the minerals they collected to the smelters, where sorting and purification turned them directly into the metal materials needed by the production lines.
The first batch of Engineering Robots made from local resources rolled off the production lines in just an hour and a half.
The
