334: Chapter 334 You are free

"Oh my god!"

Jiu Jiu covered her small mouth, constantly crying out in surprise.

Wisps of faint light flickered on the massive platform before them.

Those lights were precisely the holy radiance crystal energy.

A dark shadow flashed.

Mercury threw out the Ghost Blade and teleported onto the platform in a few strikes, greedily absorbing the energy.

"Aren't you all going to join the fun?"

Chen Fan turned his head to look at the other Crew Members and smiled.

Hearing this, they all shook their heads.

"Only magic dragon crystal core energy is useful to us."

"I see."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, quietly waiting for the platform to float up.

On the other side, cries of surprise rang out continuously.

Some of the faster ships even slowly approached.

Seeing the city destroyed, their expressions were varied.

Some wiped away tears, looking at the rising land with hatred.

Others were in a panic, pointing at the land and wailing incessantly.

Chen Fan scanned the area but did not see the Fisherman he had spoken to earlier.

After confirming repeatedly and even using his domain to search, he still found nothing.

Shaking his head, Chen Fan let out a light sigh.

"What are you thinking about, Brother?" Jiu Jiu leaned in and asked softly.

"I'm wondering, now that the city is gone, is it a good thing or a bad thing for them?"

"It should be a good thing. After all, they don't have to work for others anymore. The fish they catch can be used to feed themselves."

Jiu Jiu blinked, speaking thoughtfully.

"Perhaps."

Chen Fan nodded, no longer feeling sentimental.

By now, the massive platform had shaken off all the buildings and trees on top of it, hovering dozens of meters high.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Chen Fan took Jiu Jiu's hand, and with a flash, they landed on the platform.

Scanning the area, the endless metal platform was empty.

Only Mercury was there, busily absorbing the energy.

"Mercury, how much do you need to absorb?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

Mercury didn't look up.

"One million. Don't worry about me; there's plenty of energy here, and new energy is constantly being generated."

Chen Fan nodded slightly. After sensing for a moment, he suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"This mothership actually doesn't occupy domain space."

"What do you mean?" Jiu Jiu was a bit confused.

After confirming once more, Chen Fan said in amazement, "Don't look at how big this mothership is; in the domain coverage area, it only shows up as being as small as a single grain of sand."

"In other words, no matter where Brother goes, the domain can completely cover the mothership?"

"Yeah, that's certainly good news."

Chen Fan nodded with a smile and took Jiu Jiu through continuous teleports, quickly touring the entire mothership.

Finally, the two stopped beside a groove a hundred meters in diameter.

"What is this groove for?"

Jiu Jiu was somewhat puzzled.

Chen Fan shook his head and summoned Chris in the Crew Member space.

A moment later, Chris appeared beside them.

"This is the place where the power source is installed."

Chris said with a smile:

"The holy radiance crystals have been dormant for too long and need some time to awaken."

"What functions will it have after awakening?"

"It will automatically transform into the shape the master desires, such as an aerial aircraft carrier."

The corners of Chris's mouth curled up, his tone relaxed.

"Then what is that power source?"

"I don't need to say; Master should already know."

Hearing this, Chen Fan nodded.

He had already guessed it the moment he saw the groove.

Lightly touching his heart, Chen Fan called out in a low voice, "heart of the demon dragon."

With a flicker of light, the entirely red heart appeared within the groove.

Its tone was somewhat helpless: "I haven't finished fusing yet. What's the rush?"

"Let's test the size first. If it's not a fit, I can change it in advance."

Chen Fan chuckled and tried to use his will to change the mothership.

Although the holy radiance crystals had not yet awakened,

The overflowing energy still had some effect.

Under Chen Fan's control, the metal in the center of the mothership gradually recessed.

Ten minutes later, a large pit five thousand meters in diameter appeared in the center of the mothership.

"Come!"

With a wave of Chen Fan's hand, a large amount of seawater was sucked up from the ocean, filling the large pit.

Just like that, a simple inner sea for the mothership was completed.

Chen Fan smiled and moved the warship onto the mothership.

"Mission accomplished. Next, we just wait for the holy radiance crystals to awaken."

"Mm-hmm, let's plan out the layout first."

Jiu Jiu scanned the space on the mothership with a face full of wonder. Such a large platform could not only hold fifty thousand Mechanical Dragons and all those fighter jets,

But there was also plenty of space to build other facilities.

"Could it be you want to..." Chen Fan's eyes lit up.

"Mm-hmm. When the time comes, we can move Huaxia City up here, and we can take all the players with us to explore this world."

Jiu Jiu said with a smile.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and also smiled.

"That is indeed possible, but we have to eliminate the Mutated Tentacles first."

"Mm-hmm. Once the megaton-class nuclear missiles are made, we should be able to destroy it, right?"

"Not necessarily."

Chen Fan shook his head and glanced at the resource panel.

At this point, there were already three 100-kiloton nuclear missiles.

The remaining earth resources were only 2 million.

"Ruituocuipu, stop the production of all other nuclear missiles. Use the remaining two million earth resources to produce megaton-class nuclear missiles."

"Understood."

Ruituocuipu nodded and went back to work.

By now, the goblin reserves had reached two thousand.

He had a vague feeling that it was already possible to produce megaton-class nuclear missiles.

However, before he was certain, he didn't tell Chen Fan.

After all, it was just a guess. If the guess was wrong, it would only lead to disappointment.

So, he abandoned the construction projects at hand and led the two thousand goblins, along with over four hundred missile experts, to devote themselves entirely to the manufacture of nuclear missiles.

Chen Fan, meanwhile, patrolled the mothership, establishing buildings at every key location beforehand.

He pointed to the outer perimeter of the mothership's midsection.

"The view is good here. Kadel, how about I build a watchtower for you?"

Kadel appeared to the side and nodded slightly:

"Not bad. Also, help me build an escape passage so I can run if I get focused down."

"Don't worry, the bottom of the watchtower connects to the interior of the mothership. You can just duck inside when the time comes."

Chen Fan smiled and continued walking forward.

"Pudge, I'll build a hole here for you so it'll be convenient for you to aim your hook."

"Okay, Master. I want an escape passage too."

"Of course, I'll arrange it for you."

"..."

As he walked, Chen Fan built defensive measures all along the way.

It wasn't until he had surrounded the artificial sea with a ring of defenses that Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the habitat for his core team; it had to be well-protected.

Scanning the area and finding nothing missed, Chen Fan once again approached the onlookers of Fishermen.

After a moment of silence, he took out a megaphone:

"The people who oppressed you have been eliminated by me."

"From this day forward, you are free."

"Now, you have two choices."

"First, live freely in this sea area, making a living by fishing."

"Second, work for me."

"Now, tell me your choice."
