The spaceship docking plaza should have started construction yesterday.
However, after dealing with the beast tide yesterday, there were a large number of monster corpses around the Chen Village city wall. These monster corpses were quite valuable and would easily rot if left there.
So yesterday, these construction puppets were busy dealing with the monster corpses, and only now can Chen Mu finally free them up to build the spaceship docking plaza.
After sending most of the construction Talisman Puppet to build the spaceship docking plaza, Chen Mu then assigned tasks to the central system.
The second system task is to fully launch the automated production line to create more mining Talisman Puppet, construction Talisman Puppet, and combat Talisman Puppet to compensate for the manpower shortage in Chen Village.
Although the number of affiliated tribes and slaves continued to increase with the expansion of Chen Village, the Talisman Puppet were more loyal and efficient, and using them as core labor was much more effective than those barbaric and ignorant tribal people.
The third system task is to begin planning the expansion of Chen Village. Currently, Chen Village only covers an area of about 40 to 50 square kilometers. Although its interior is very exquisitely built, it is smaller than most of the border towns in the Central Land.
The next step for Chen Village is to expand tenfold, transforming it into a super city with a radius of approximately four to five hundred kilometers (more than two hundred thousand square kilometers).
With this territory of 100,000 square kilometers bestowed by the gods, Chen Village already has the foundation to establish a state. As long as all the forces within this territory are pacified, Chen Village can be renamed the Chen Kingdom.
By then, the Chen Village tribal area would be the capital of the Chen Kingdom, so it would naturally need to be of a corresponding scale.
With territory and the support of strong leaders and talented individuals, the establishment of the Chen Kingdom is unstoppable; it simply needs time to take shape.
At 5 PM, Chen Duo and the Yin Lineage family arrived in nine boats in a grand procession at a newly leveled, open square outside Chen Village.
" Duoduo, was the journey smooth?"
Chen Mu had already received Chen Duo's message and instantly teleported to the ship to greet them.
"It went fairly smoothly. All the demonic beasts above the Demon King Realm received the Temple's decree and dared not attack us. Only a few scattered demonic beasts harassed us, and I didn't hold back against them, killing them all without hesitation."
Chen Duo reported to Chen Mu with a smile.
"That's good. You can land first, and I'll have someone help you move the cargo."
"OK!"
On her way here by boat, Chen Duo picked up all the members of the Yin Lineage family. The boat is now full of people and goods, which is why it took her until this hour to arrive at Chen Village.
Normally, such large transport ships would need some buffer runways to land easily, but with the assistance of the Core Formation Realm expert from the Yin Lineage, they managed to land all of them after some effort.
After the spaceship landed, a large number of construction Talisman Puppet from Chen Village rushed out to help the Yin Lineage move goods. Before nightfall, they had moved all the Yin Lineage members and goods into the city.
"Clan Chief Yin, your Yin Lineage members have had a long journey. Please take a good rest during this time."
"I'll finish modifying the spaceship in a few days, then you can send some more people over to help operate it."
Operating a large spaceship is not easy, and very few people in the Wilderness tribes have mastered this technology. However, Yin Lineage family, as a long-established family, has many people who can operate spaceships, so Chen Mu needs the help of the Yin Lineage.
Although Chen Mu's modification of the spaceship allowed artificial intelligence to control it, communication with AI is actually more complex, and even in Chen Village, there are very few people who can truly communicate with AI.
Without True Person assistance to control the spaceship, the spaceship's behavior would become very rigid, and it would become extremely dangerous if the enemy found a pattern or weakness in it.
Therefore, for now, Chen Mu's modified spaceship is still mainly controlled by traditional methods, with artificial intelligence only serving as an auxiliary tool. The control methods will be adjusted after the Chen Village soldiers are trained to use artificial intelligence.
"No problem, thank you for your concern, Young Master Chen Mu."
Yesterday, Yin Guang witnessed the White Turtle and the celestial being conversing in the air. Although he didn't know exactly what they said, Chen Mu announced that Chen Village had acquired 100,000 square kilometers of territory that evening. Yin Guang knew he had finally found a powerful patron.
He has now made up his mind to submit to Chen Village from now on, without any reservations.
After the Yin Lineage left, Chen Mu led the people from the Artifact Refining Department and the Array Department of the Rune Research Institute onto the ship to begin the modification of nine large transport ships.
Within the Rune Research Institute, the Artifact Refining Department has the largest number of employees, with over five hundred people, while the Array Department has far fewer, with only over two hundred people.
Originally, their cultivation levels were not high, but ever since Chen Mu brought back a large number of Purple Soul Crystal from the Ancient Desolate Mining Area and opened the supply to the people of the Rune Research Institute, their cultivation levels have started to surge dramatically. Several people have already broken through to the Solid Realm, and this surge is still ongoing.
The improvement in their skill level made it easier for them to master runes, and their research progress in various fields also saw a leap forward.
Chen Mu had already designed several spaceship modification plans, and he directly gave these plans to Chen Ju Nan Huaiyuan, asking them to lead their subordinates to modify the six unmodified spaceships.
The three armed ships that he had already modified were relatively simple to modify. He only needed to remove most of the storage and living quarters, and then install mechanical weapons to enhance the ships' firepower.
In addition, Chen Mu designed a main cannon for each spaceship, which was a psionic beam cannon made using particle technology.
At the Rune Research Institute, particle technology is still in its early stages of development, and the only stable technology at present is the psionic beam.
The Spirit Energy Beam Blade in Chen Village were only set up in the last two months, while the beam cannons are much more complex than the beam blades. The Rune Research Institute only successfully tested them half a month ago. Before they could equip Chen Village's defense system with them, they encountered the beast tide attack.
That's why we didn't see the psionic beam cannon during yesterday's beast horde attack.
However, it's all good. Chen Mu simply selected nine of the manufactured beam cannon cores and modified them, so they could serve as the main cannons for nine combat ships.
Chen Mu enhanced the power of the beam cannons using an energy-gathering array. If the power was increased to its maximum, it would be enough to threaten Late Core Formation Realm expert. With this main cannon, these nine transport ships could finally be considered true combat ships.
However, the modification of these nine combat ships is merely a transitional product. Chen Mu's future goal is to build real rune warships.
Rune warships will be modeled after weapons such as space carriers and fighter jets on Earth; they will be true war machines.
Only then will Chen Village truly dominate the skies.
A week later, Chen Village led hundreds of members of the Rune Research Institute and finally converted nine transport ships into combat ships.
According to the system's assessment, each of these combat ships, provided there is a sufficient energy supply, is capable of taking on an army of 100,000 men single-handedly.
Chen Mu immediately ordered the Yin Lineage family members to send the nine spaceships to the front line, so that Chen Zihu and his men could more easily intimidate those unruly advanced tribes.
