On the surface of Kona Satellite.
Compared with the great meteor collisions on the Deep Space battlefield, this place presented a different panorama of vast, magnificent steel industry.
The entire satellite, more than two thousand kilometers in diameter, had been completely transformed into a vast construction site among the stars.
As far as the eye could see, millions of heavy plasma cutters forcibly tore open the surface crust, carving enormous trenches dozens of kilometers deep. High-pressure coolant forcibly suppressed the searing geothermal heat, raising white steam that shrouded entire mountain ranges.
In the sky, hundreds of millions of Kona nano-worker drones swirled like silver storms, precisely spraying high-strength alloy onto the surfaces of the enormous foundation pits.
The ten-thousand-meter gun-rail foundation for phase one of the super Planet-Buster Cannon was rising from the ground at a visible pace!
On the satellite's shaded side and along its equator, the construction sites for a full twenty-four thousand superheavy fusion planetary engines had merged into an ocean of light.
Clusters of the Kona Civilization's Engineering Robots cut through mountains and shattered rock out front, while the core construction section on the southern flank contracted to Great Xia displayed an even more miraculous fusion.
Tens of thousands of engineers in spacesuits moved through the construction site. Tower cranes roared, and the red lines of laser alignment instruments crisscrossed.
Beside them, a group of stout, thick-bearded Dwarf master smiths swung heavy hammers, bare-chested inside vacuum shields.
"Master Baron! The number three energy-conducting nozzle still needs a fortification rune!" a young Great Xia engineer shouted, holding a holographic tablet.
"I know, I know! Stop rushing me!"
The old Dwarf Baron wiped the sweat from his beard. With an energy tube full of strong liquor clenched in his mouth, he took a great slurp and roared irritably:
