Plasma Beam!

From the perspective of these monitoring personnel, the spot appeared inconspicuous.

They wouldn't even notice it if it weren't marked by the satellite monitoring system.

At this moment, the spot is moving towards the direction of Canglan Star.

Upon seeing this, the head of the monitoring center said without hesitation:

"Taiyi, activate the planetary defense system!"

Taiyi's voice rang out in the monitoring center:

"Checking authorized personnel's identity information."

"Detection complete! Level 1 access privileges. Performing planetary defense system self-check."

"Satellite monitoring data is being analyzed."

"Analysis complete, meets planetary defense activation procedure"

"Taking over all missile silos"

The planetary defense system of the Xingfeng Sect is completely controlled by Taiyi.

It can lock onto targets using data and then directly control missiles to intercept them, which is much faster than manual methods.

Of course, two conditions must be met to start this program.

First, Taiyi did indeed detect an enemy force approaching unilaterally using satellite imagery.

Secondly, manual authorization is required.

In Taiyi's program, the human authorization command is the most important; without human authorization, the planetary defense system cannot be activated.

Only five people in the Xingfeng Sect can authorize Taiyi.

The head of the Satellite Monitoring Center is one of them.

He could issue orders directly without having to contact Liu Qian and Chen Feng, which was also to prevent unforeseen circumstances.

After issuing the order, the head of the monitoring center took out his phone to contact Liu Qian.

As Taiyi initiated the program, missile silos in dozens of military bases established by the Xingfeng Sect in the Outer Sea simultaneously entered a state of readiness for launch.

The unusual activity at the missile silos naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers at these bases.

However, the soldiers were relieved after they realized that Taiyi was controlling them.

Soon, soldiers at all the bases sprang into action.

Although Taiyi can directly control the missile launch silos, it can be activated by a program.

However, the missile launcher Taiyi cannot be directly controlled.

Because the missile launchers are all parked indoors, the soldiers need to drive them to an open area and then start them.

Today, the military bases that Xingfeng Sect has established in the Outer Sea all belong to the Black Tortoise Formation.

As the captain of the Black Tortoise Formation, Zhang Xuan learned of what had happened immediately.

He immediately ordered all missile launchers at the bases to be brought out from their indoor locations.

Black Tortoise City, Zhang Xuan looked up at the sky and murmured:

"Finally, it's time for our Black Tortoise Formation to make its move."

Although that's what he said, Zhang Xuan wasn't happy at all.

In the several major battles Xingfeng Sect over the years, their Black Tortoise Formation has not been of much use.

For example, during the recent invasion by the Void Spirit Race, not a single soldier from the Black Tortoise Formation was deployed.

More than a decade ago, Zhang Xuan was very happy because at that time Black Tortoise Formation had not only established dozens of military bases in the Outer Sea, but also built Black Tortoise City.

He had been looking forward to the Black Tortoise Formation having a chance to truly shine.

However, in the past ten years or so, not a single enemy has attacked Xingfeng Sect.

Especially after Chen Feng became the number one person on Canglan Star, all forces on Canglan Star submitted to the Xingfeng Sect.

That's why he's not happy about today's missile launch.

This is because the missile launch is entirely controlled by Taiyi; the people in their Black Tortoise Formation are only there to help move the missile vehicles.

But Zhang Xuan had no choice. He couldn't very well tell Chen Feng to send their Black Tortoise Formation to intercept the enemy in space.

He probably won't be able to get away with this as captain of the Black Tortoise Formation until he finishes speaking.

As he thought about it, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself:

"The sect's strength is getting stronger and stronger, so why shouldn't I be happy? It would be a good thing if our Black Tortoise Formation didn't have to worry about us."

Zhang Xuan quickly composed himself and began using his mobile phone to direct the actions of soldiers at various bases.

The Northern Border, home to Planetary Engine No. 1.

At this moment, the place is filled with cultivators from various forces, including hundreds of Nascent Soul experts and dozens of Half-Step Spirit Transformation experts.

High in the sky, several Spirit Transformation cultivators were also present.

However, these Spirit Transformation cultivators did not appear in public, but instead concealed themselves.

The Spirit Transformation cultivators who attended the previous meeting are all here this time as well.

They all wanted to see the first planetary engine start up.

A large metal platform has been built on the vast open space below.

It's called a platform because it's so huge.

It occupies an area of several thousand square meters.

Its height is even more frightening, reaching over three thousand meters.

The most impressive feature is a massive nozzle at the top, a ring-shaped structure composed of hundreds of movable alloy petals.

Each alloy petal is 100 meters wide, with edges as sharp as a knife, and is currently in a semi-closed state.

The foundation consists of dozens of stacked ring-shaped platforms.

Humans, standing before this enormous platform, appear as insignificant as ants.

"Is this a planetary engine? It's really huge." Nangong Wentian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As a Nascent Spirit Transformation, he had seen many Law Treasure.

But this is the first time I've seen something as large as a planetary engine.

The design of this thing, in particular, is breathtaking at first glance.

Chen Feng said:

"We are propelling the entire planet; if our volume isn't large enough, the thrust won't be sufficient."

Yun Qingjue asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how many Spirit Stone are needed to activate this thing?"

Everyone looked at Chen Feng.

During this period, all the major powers on Canglan Star have provided resources and Spirit Stone, but they really don't know how many Spirit Stone are needed to start this planetary engine.

Chen Feng said:

"The consumption isn't very high; starting a planetary engine for a day only requires about ten Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone."

The reason it consumes so little energy is because Harvey's planetary engine uses heavy fusion technology.

This technology involves fusing light nuclei into heavy nuclei under extreme high temperature and pressure, thereby releasing enormous amounts of energy.

This technology requires little Spiritual Qi energy, and the fuel it uses is silicon, which can be obtained directly from rocks.

This is somewhat similar to the planetary engines in movies.

However, Harvey still added Spiritual Qi, because this would amplify the thrust again.

Only such large-scale equipment can use fusion technology because it requires a constant replenishment of fuel.

This is why Chen Feng wanted to involve all forces.

Only by having cultivators from each region continuously add fuel to these engines can their operation be guaranteed.

Moreover, cultivators are much faster at mining rocks than ordinary people.

Upon hearing that it would only cost around ten Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, the expressions of the several Spirit Transformation cultivators in the room relaxed.

Although Chen Feng had previously stated that he wanted to build a final 20,000 planetary engines.

If all are activated, the daily consumption of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone is 200,000.

Two hundred thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone is something that even a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator couldn't afford, but it's nothing if the entire power of Canglan Star had to bear it.

Seeing the nonchalant expressions on their faces, Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what he was going to say.

Two hundred thousand a day is indeed not much.

But Canglan Star needs to travel through the universe, and this journey may take several years, or even a hundred years.

That would consume a huge amount of Spirit Stone.

However, Chen Feng had a backup plan.

That means abandoning the addition of Spirit Stone to the fuel and using rocks as fuel entirely.

Although this would slow down the propulsion of Canglan Star, it is also a way to save resources.

Just as Chen Feng was pondering, Yue Yao's voice came through his phone.

"Sect Master, the planetary engine has been tested and is ready to be started at any time!"

Chen Feng said directly, "Start it."

As Chen Feng finished speaking...

The planetary engines on the ground below suddenly began to vibrate.

This tremor was not a violent shaking like an earthquake, but rather like the breathing of a giant beast before it awakens.

The alloy flaps of the engine nozzle also slowly opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire planetary engine began to vibrate violently.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding cultivators all stepped back a distance, their eyes fixed on the planetary engine.

Soon, the honeycomb-shaped injection holes inside the engine nozzles dimmed.

The light was initially small, but after a few seconds, it transformed into a jet of plasma hundreds of meters in diameter!

The plasma, a deep blue color, transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!

The instant the beam of light appeared, a deafening roar followed – the roar of an engine starting up!

Everyone was stunned by the blue beam of light that stretched straight into the sky.

Spectacular, magnificent—that's what everyone was thinking at that moment.

"Is this a planetary engine?"

"This is absolutely magnificent! We actually assembled this treasure!"

"I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe this thing can propel our Canglan Star forward!"

"There is hope! We have hope!"

The crowd below cheered.

The Wandering Canglan Star Plan is now known to everyone.

As everyone knows, planetary engines need to be built in various locations on Canglan Star Canglan Star propel it out of the Weiyang Star Domain.

This was their only hope for survival on Canglan Star.

Yue Yao and his team were the most excited. At this moment, Yue Yao looked at the light that stretched straight to the sky and trembled with excitement.

This was far more stimulating to her than a nuclear explosion.

In the sky, several Spirit Transformation were also staring intently at the plasma beam that stretched straight into the heavens.

Yun Qingjue looked at Chen Feng in shock and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm afraid only your Xingfeng Sect in the entire star field could design something like this. It's truly incredible."

Yun Qingjue had already used his Divine Sense to explore the internal structure of the planetary engine.

It was filled with all sorts of circuit components.

She couldn't understand the structure of this thing at all, even though every part was made of refining materials.

But when these parts are combined, they can become such a huge thing, which truly amazes her.

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"The first engine has successfully completed its test run; now the entire plan can proceed."

Lu Linyuan nodded. "Yes, I'll go back and mobilize all the available manpower!"

A smile appeared on Lu Linyuan's aged face.

As the leader of the Cultivation Alliance, he cared deeply about the life and death of Canglan Star, and now that he saw hope, he was naturally very happy.

Nangong Wentian said, "Twenty thousand planetary engines, it would probably take at least six months to produce and assemble, or even longer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Feng.

They all hoped the engine could be completed as soon as possible, so that Canglan Star could leave this place of trouble sooner.

The universe is so vast that even if the Void Spirit Race's Void Refinement Elder came, they wouldn't be able to find them.

Chen Feng replied:

"In terms of speed, it will indeed take six months. Factory expansion and production both require time. However, if costs are not considered, this pace can be accelerated."

Lu Linyuan said decisively, "No need for further explanation. Just produce without regard to cost. Tell us how many Spirit Stone and how many people you need, and we'll provide them!"

No one else objected.

The Void Spirit Race could invade again at any time; every day of delay could bring a crisis.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements later." Chen Feng nodded.

Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, Chen Feng phone rang again.

The call was from Liu Qian, who was currently watching the planetary engine start-up from below.

Chen Feng answered the phone and listened for a while, then frowned:

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng looked at Lu Linyuan and the others and said:

"Gentlemen, we have just received news that an unidentified object in space is flying towards our Canglan Star."

"What? Could it be that the Void Spirit Race's Void Refinement Elder has already arrived!" Lu Linyuan and the others' expressions changed drastically in an instant.

If at this time, Void Refinement cultivator from the Void Spirit Race were to descend upon Canglan Star.

That would be an unprecedented disaster for them.

Chen Feng shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Although I've never seen Void Refinement cultivator before, this flying object isn't very fast. It's probably some kind of magic ship."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, the expressions on their faces relaxed.

Lu Linyuan said:

"Regardless, we have to go and see. I'll notify the Cultivation Alliance to activate the Star-Protecting Grand Formation at full power!"

None of them had any objections, and they soon headed towards the starry sky.

At the speed of several Spirit Transformation, it didn't take long for the group to arrive in the starry sky outside Canglan Star.

"How far away are they from us?" Lu Linyuan asked.

Chen Feng replied, "Soon."

Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, the Nascent Spirit Transformation seemed to sense something and turned to look.

Inside Canglan Star, hundreds of missiles were launched from the ground and heading towards their location.

"This is your Xingfeng Sect's nuclear bomb!" Nangong Wentian was standing next to him, immediately recognized what it was.

The Xingfeng Sect's nuclear weapons were already famous on Canglan Star, and Nangong Wentian was naturally aware of them.

Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, let's move aside. This is for intercepting that French ship."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately transformed into streaks of light and flew to the side.

Chen Feng had mentioned to them before that Xingfeng Sect was intercepting enemies in the starry sky.

At the time, everyone expressed their support, and all expenses for the interception would be shared by all parties.

Soon, hundreds of missiles pierced through the Gang Qi atmosphere and entered space.

Once they entered space, the speed of these missiles increased several times over.

These missiles then transformed into streaks of light, heading towards the depths of space.

"Gentlemen, the phones I gave you earlier could show footage of these missile strikes," Chen Feng reminded them.

His intention this time was also to show these people the power of missiles to intercept the enemy.

After all, they paid for it, so they should at least show the results.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately took out their phones. These were the smartphones Chen Feng had given them last time, which had some additional functions compared to satellite phones.

Many images appeared on the phones of the group.

These images were transmitted from miniature cameras mounted on the missile.
