Giant Engineering Robots rose and descended among all kinds of construction projects, laser cutting beams slicing through the pitch-black sky, as though someone had laid an industrial assembly line directly across the moon's surface.
Farther away, a spaceship shipyard several kilometers wide lay half-embedded in a crater wall. The main keel of a thousand-meter-long Deep-Space Warship had already been completed.
Countless welding sparks flickered along its hull, like a steel dragon growing out of the lunar soil.
Overhead, two transport ships laden with ore and meteorites adjusted their orientation, spewing azure plasma exhaust as they landed steadily on a dedicated landing pad in the distance.
It was all too overwhelming.
Not a single person was visible. Everywhere, mechanical creations were at work.
Was this science fiction?
The Pangu Mecha piloted by Instructor Zhou Xiangming was the first to step through the airlock hatch. Its six-meter steel bulk landed on the lunar surface, sending lunar soil spraying in every direction beneath its feet.
"Attention, all units. Begin tactical jumps for low-gravity conditions. Our destination is the assembly point at crater two, thirty kilometers away. Move out!"
At the command, the mecha squad moved in unison.
The usual thunder of their footsteps vanished. In a vacuum, everything was silent.
The moon's gravity was only one-sixth of Blue Star's. Driven by powerful propulsion, the heavy Pangu Mecha abruptly leaped up, their massive steel bodies like fierce birds breaking free of gravity, covering hundreds of meters of lunar terrain in a single bound.
"Woohoo! I'm flying!"
The dwarf warrior Thor's excited shout rang through the communications channel.
His mecha had just cleared a low crater, but its landing point was clearly veering toward a nearby cliff.
The Dwarf Captain's furious roar came through.
"Maintain formation spacing! Thor, correct your landing point! You're about to
