183: "Burning Heaven Divine Weapon II" Class Experimental Mobile Fortress

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed since the conversation between Xi Hai and Keith.

The remnant forces of the "Saints" had been completely purged thirteen days ago.

That group of guys were indeed good at running; one remnant unit was even chased for five or six days before dying in a righteous dogpile.

On the side of the Sacred Stars Group, after delivering the final blow,

they immediately paraded three of the remaining eleven Apostles of the Saints—those who were relatively well-known (or rather, infamous) on the outside—during a press conference,

and used this to rapidly build up momentum.

Over the past ten-plus days, its exposure could be said to have skyrocketed crazily,

and relying on their own solid quality, they almost completely capitalized on this exposure, gaining a huge boost in reputation.

During this period, they also struck while the iron was hot, successfully negotiating a small-scale Warship procurement deal with the Military Alliance representatives who were holding a meeting at Order Seat V01.01—

although this deal was more symbolic in nature, it still brought The Corporation more attention.

Now, it had become a "heroic group" in the eyes of many middle-class residents and the leader of the "rising star enterprises" of the Order Alliance.

Although this exposure also attracted some hostile probing from industry giants, Xi Hai was not surprised at all—

after all, the main business of the Sacred Stars Group was Warships and mining,

and most of these two industries were held in the hands of a few major giants; the cake had almost been completely devoured, so how could they tolerate a newcomer coming into their nest to steal food?

Facing this issue, Xi Hai indicated that he was not worried at all.

After all, The Corporation had no technology, nor did it engage in scientific research.

Apart from the industrial department directly under Xi Hai, the entire Corporation only had executive departments like market development.

With this "golden body" forged from the demise of the Saints, they would not suffer too obvious suppression—at least for this period, not on the surface.

Therefore, Xi Hai only had one opinion on this—maintain your own development pace and do not be intimidated by those industry giants; they will not come to touch you in the short term.

If they do touch you, do not be afraid; maintain a tough stance, and if you cannot resolve it, call for backup.

As long as development remains the priority, he, Xi Hai, will give them full freedom to develop:

Translation: It is all small-scale skirmishes for now; go play by yourselves, and come find me when you cannot handle it anymore.

Additionally, there was the matter of Keith.

After that persuasion, Xi Hai pulled him into the office and asked him to make a simple report regarding his position and such.

According to what he said, he was the shipboard Political Commissar of that megastructure, concurrently serving as the head of the shipboard legal office,

but he was only a legal intern; for convenience of retrieval, he had to import a compilation of Human Federation laws into an independent storage disk and secretly plug it into the shipboard database.

At the time, Xi Hai exclaimed, "Good grief—so it was you!"

This was truly too coincidental.

After sighing, Xi Hai was also very satisfied with the fact that he had picked up a desperately needed administrative talent.

Although he could not let him take the post immediately,

but relying on that guy, the administrative construction process in the Tianjin Seat V89 area would take a big step forward.

Moreover, Keith looked as if he had already discarded his illusions and started to accept reality—

during these past few days, he was crazily studying knowledge about the "present" through every possible channel he could access.

It is worth mentioning that the night lamp could only query content on the internet, and the history White Shark understood was incomplete.

Humans knew almost nothing about things before the fifth era, leaving only wild histories that were even more nonsensical than fabricated history.

The United University, which was the only one to retain most of the relatively complete archives, only sealed such documents through physical objects and basically did not make them public.

This made Keith's learning exceptionally difficult.

However, these were all small problems; Xi Hai believed that he would solve them himself.

In contrast, Xi Hai still felt that the thing happening before his eyes attracted more of his attention—

"Decomposition complete!"

"Commencing separation!"

"Graviton interference device operating at full power! Some structures have already been exposed! Pay attention to ensuring the integrity of the target!"

That's right, after long excavation preparations, that megastructure was finally about to be stripped of its surface camouflage to reveal its true face.

Countless regular cracks slowly appeared on the crust, dividing the planet's crust into small hexagonal blocks—

just like a soccer ball.

The method used to hide this megastructure back then was actually not as profound as imagined;

this planet was actually just the cut surface reassembled using thirty-two special frequency graviton maintainers.

As long as those gravity devices were reversed, this camouflage would slowly disintegrate on its own.

And Xi Hai had the fleet also bring graviton influence devices to accelerate the process of "disintegration"—

soon, the entire planet completely split open,

debris and fragments flew wildly in mid-air, and a huge, ferocious megastructure gradually revealed its form.

In the middle of a ring-shaped energy storage loop was a huge cylindrical structure,

and in the center of the cylindrical structure was a large hole emitting a cold glint.

At a glance, it was full of martial virtue.

However, ten thousand years of time had not left no mark on it—

the pale shell was covered with dents and holes,

and countless broken pipelines floated out from inside the body, drifting helplessly in mid-air—just like seaweed in water.

"It has been over ten thousand years... She is still so beautiful..."

Keith, who was beside Xi Hai, looked at the white giant beast and couldn't help but mutter.

Xi Hai glanced at him and asked in a low voice,

"What is she?"

"One of the miracles in human war history—'Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon II' class experimental mobile fortress..."

"She is called the Fate."
