85: Chapter 85 Class E Spaceship, Kunpeng 2

This Spring Festival, Su Fan returned to his hometown and felt on top of the world amidst the compliments of his relatives and friends.

Returning home in glory is like wearing silk clothes in the dark if you don't show it off.

This time back home, he truly enjoyed a moment of triumph, and the smiles on his parents' faces never faded.

Even at family gatherings, he moved from his original spot in the corner to the undisputed seat of honor.

Everyone was currying favor with him and flattering him.

Previously, Su Fan despised people who bowed and scraped to flatter others, but when he became the one being flattered, he suddenly found those smiling faces to be quite endearing!

That's just how people are.

They don't hate sycophants; they hate that the sycophants aren't flattering them!

They don't hate capitalists; they hate that they aren't the capitalists themselves!

Amidst the joyful atmosphere, Su Fan spent an unforgettable Spring Festival.

The date became March 1st.

Inside the secret base on the moon, a massive production line stood directly in front of Su Fan.

This production line was for the e-class spaceship he had recently exchanged for: the kunpeng no. 2.

It had cost him a full 99 million influence points!

This spaceship production line could produce 10 kunpeng no. 2 spaceships every month.

The kunpeng no. 2 spaceship was 2,000 meters long, 1,200 meters wide, and 800 meters high, with a total volume 1,000 times that of the kunpeng no. 1!

As a transport-type spaceship from the same lineage as the kunpeng no. 1, its carrying capacity reached a terrifying 10 million tons!

Its speed was also extremely fast, with a maximum speed of 2,000 kilometers per second. Traveling from Blue Star to Mars would take just over 7 hours at the shortest distance!

The weapons it carried were upgraded versions of those on the kunpeng no. 1: two ED100 Electromagnetic Kinetic Cannons and two EJ100 Laser Cannons.

For its power source, the kunpeng no. 2 utilized Cold Nuclear Fusion, which was even more powerful than thermonuclear fusion like Helium-3 Fusion.

The materials for producing the kunpeng no. 2 were already prepared, and Su Fan even specifically added a Star-Devouring Beast core to increase the kunpeng no. 2's overall power.

With the Star-Devouring Beast core, the kunpeng no. 2's top speed could reach a staggering 2,500 kilometers per second, taking only 6 hours to travel from Blue Star to Mars at the shortest distance!

Simply terrifying!

Since production had started three days ago, Su Fan only had to wait a short while before the first kunpeng no. 2 spaceship was finished.

Su Fan excitedly boarded the 800-meter-tall kunpeng no. 2 spaceship.

The layout of the kunpeng no. 2 spaceship was similar to the kunpeng no. 1, except the captain's quarters were larger, the entertainment facilities were more complete, there were more rooms, and the floor plans were more diverse.

The kunpeng no. 1 had a standard full capacity of only about 800 people, while the kunpeng no. 2 could hold up to 50,000.

This was because the kunpeng no. 2 was a cargo variant of the transport type and had a massive cargo hold; if it were a passenger variant, its capacity would be even higher.

"Red Queen, take off!"

"Target: Blue Star!" Su Fan ordered.

"Understood, Captain!" the Red Queen replied sweetly.

The spaceship's engines roared as the skylight directly above the underground secret base on the moon swung open.

The kunpeng no. 2 slowly ascended into the lunar sky.

Then, the spaceship suddenly accelerated!

"Detection: The Captain's physical fitness is insufficient to withstand the maximum acceleration. Spaceship acceleration has been adjusted to a tolerable range," the Red Queen's voice suddenly came through.

Su Fan was taken aback; he hadn't considered this issue.

"Red Queen, explain."

"Captain, the acceleration dampening capability of the kunpeng no. 1 can offset 98% of the gravitational pressure on the human body."

"The kunpeng no. 1's maximum acceleration is 100G. After offsetting 98%, the acceleration felt inside the ship is only 2G."

"The kunpeng no. 2's maximum acceleration is 100 times that of the kunpeng no. 1, reaching 10,000G."

"While the kunpeng no. 2's dampening capability is stronger, offsetting 99% of the pressure, even the remaining 1% is still 100G."

"Your body, Captain, can withstand a maximum of 30G. 100G of pressure would crush you instantly!"

The Red Queen explained.

Su Fan was speechless; he didn't expect his physical fitness to be the limiting factor.

It seemed it was time to put the development of Level 2 Gene Optimization Fluid on the agenda.

Wait, I have the manifestation ability, why on earth would I need to research it!

Just exchange for a production line and manufacture it at full speed!

Thus, the kunpeng no. 2's acceleration was limited to 1,000G by the Red Queen. This way, Su Fan only had to endure 10G, which his body—having been injected with Level 1 Gene Optimization Fluid—could easily withstand.

Accelerating from 0 to 2,500 kilometers per second at 1,000G takes 250 seconds, which is very fast.

It took the kunpeng no. 2 only a few minutes to get from the moon to Blue Star, with most of the time spent in the acceleration and deceleration phases.

If it could maintain 2,500 kilometers per second the entire way, it would only take 2.6 minutes to travel from the moon to Blue Star.

Xia Kingdom officials suddenly spotted a massive, multi-kilometer spaceship entering Blue Star's atmosphere via satellite. They were initially very wary, but upon seeing the ship's design and the Super God Group logo on it, they immediately relaxed.

"It seems Super God Group has made another technological breakthrough. To build such a massive spaceship—simply terrifying!" the official remarked.

Su Fan piloted the kunpeng no. 2 and landed directly at Nanshan Base.

The personnel at the base immediately gathered around as they saw the massive spaceship land.

Before landing, Su Fan had already communicated with the base's defense personnel.

Zhou Xiaoxiao, wearing an Exoskeleton, ran to the bottom of the ship as fast as possible.

Seeing Su Fan step off the spaceship, she immediately rushed forward excitedly.

"Su Fan, is this the new spaceship?"

"It's so big!"

Su Fan smiled calmly. "Xiaoxiao, want to experience it?"

"Yes!" Zhou Xiaoxiao said expectantly.

"Then keep thinking about it! Haha!" Su Fan laughed, teasing Zhou Xiaoxiao.

"Su Fan! There are a lot of people here, so I'll give you some face, but just you wait until tonight!" Zhou Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her white teeth grinding audibly.

Su Fan's face fell, and he quickly apologized. He was truly afraid of Zhou Xiaoxiao's methods; they were too cruel.

"Come on! Xiaoxiao, I'll give you a tour of the new ship—the kunpeng no. 2."

"Zhang Fei, notify Zhang Qiling to get ready. Today is the perfect time to visit the Space Military Factory!"

Su Fan said to a young man in the crowd of staff. This young man was Zhang Qiling's younger brother, Zhang Fei.

"Understood, Chairman Su!" Zhang Fei replied smartly.
