Chapter 1127: The Magpie Bridge

cards. Some wept, some wore a strange smile, and others acted like lunatics.But Lu Cheng was still very tactful. When the number of cards in the deck 【Fear】 became too high, he even put mosaics on th...The laws of Xing Tian come from a unique myth, while the laws of the tides are the work of the entire clan of singers.

It is quite difficult to combine two unique physical rules into one, but there are more than just a few of them in the tidal formation. They only need to be responsible for standing firm at the formation's center and collecting the useless gravitational potential energy generated by heavy beasts everywhere, converting it into thrust.

The Xintiao Law Array is responsible for reducing the energy consumption of gravity internal forces, and the Tide Array gathers gravity and changes its direction of action.

Together, they form the world's first anti-gravity array engine, and after the mechanical race, the second engine capable of maintaining a high unit mass.

And, the two arrays of Law Immortal Formations are conjugated, their power being six times greater than that of the mechanical race's massive engine.

The anti-gravity formation is powerful enough to prevent a behemoth-class vessel from disintegrating in space. However, propulsion requires an additional state-of-the-art spirit steam boiler of this era.

Through burning a large quantity of crimson pearls, the beast's fin is driven to produce steam power, propelling the beast forward.

In fact, under the boost of anti-gravity array, the energy required for behemoth travel is not unreasonable. The biggest consumption comes from the massive stellar sand coating and structural wear and tear....

The Star Sand production within the Purifiers' Alliance is limited.

Every year, the number of starships each race can build is limited... Although humans, after two wars and the status brought by currency, are now a major race, they still don't have enough share to build such a massive mothership.

Obviously, Lu Cheng couldn't buy enough Star Sand with all the money in the world.

Across the sea, painters of the Tang and Song dynasties strained their minds to design exterior coverings for behemoths, but they could only achieve 30% coverage. Seventy percent remained exposed to harsh environments.

These masters of painting are renowned throughout history. From afar, their work appears with iron strokes and silver hooks, expressive brushwork in vivid colors. Three layers of paint applied to the surfaces ensure that even massive creatures can sail without being detected!

However, the exposed 70% is constantly being damaged, and it is predicted that as the weather gets colder, the damage will intensify. Each round requires a large amount of mineral filling to support the behemoth structure.

A colossal mothership sits in space, burning through a fortune every second.

Of course, fighting would change things.... After all, on the enemy's turf, after occupying high-quality planets, we could use earthquakes to shatter the mantle and sustain ourselves by consuming stardust.

If you can plunder Star Sand, the loss will be permanently reduced.

High attrition, immense goals, and slow navigation are indeed the pain points of contemporary super-giant creatures.

But, what did the super-carrier bring

Unparalleled overseas combat capability!

It is currently the only warship in the world capable of carrying planets into battle, meaning that the expeditionary force will have a surface to rely on.

It completely broke the ancient principle that interstellar warfare must rely on habitable planets as jump points for travel.

This allowed the Northern Expedition to proceed without needing a constant supply of resources from the rear...

Before the war, Xun Yu calculated that if the Northern Expedition solely relied on the route spanning tens of thousands of stars from Xuanwu Gate to the South Border, North Border, and enemy-occupied territories, the logistical pressure would be overwhelmingly immense.

It is estimated that maintaining a Northern Expeditionary Force of 300,000 would be enough to exhaust all output.

And that's not even counting the cost of transporting the loot back...

With this, one-time supply can last a long time in the enemy occupied zone. It has an agricultural star that not only maintains its own travel but also feeds about eighteen million soldiers!

Of course, 18 million cannot all be combat personnel. It is estimated that the number of resident soldiers on the giant beast can approach one million, and the remaining 17 million non-resident militias are distributed in agricultural stars and industrial stars.

In an emergency, these militiamen can be temporarily conscripted to fight and win assaults!

This is just one of the benefits...

The second advantage is that it carries an industrial starport...

This means that a fleet can anchor around it without needing to dock at forward ports.

Penglai Industrial Starport can maintain any ship's durability and possesses almost a complete production line, capable of producing large quantities of Xian Realm industrial goods. It can process war booty in a timely manner, transforming it into resources and combat power!

It has so many benefits, otherwise, this stingy guy Lu Cheng would certainly not spend almost all of the issued currency and raise a lot of military industrial bonds to design and build such a thing!

Wouldn't that have killed him

......

......

"Success!" Sanxiao let out a breath of relief.

After busy for over three hundred years, I'm only left with the ability to breathe. I'm so tired that I don't even have a fairy-like appearance anymore.......

Today, the giant beast's structural stability has finally reached its target!

Nothing in life goes smoothly.

Speaking of which, the behemoth was partially disassembled once. That experiment failed, wasting a lot of materials and causing gravity to go out of control. The disassembly debris was attracted by Nan Yuanxing's gravity, forming a meteor rain climate that lasted for thirty years, destroying countless fields in Xiantian.

It was a devastating blow, and everyone, including the three sisters, thought... humanity wouldn't be able to hold on.

Historically, major victories are usually only briefly recorded.

While the Nanyuan disaster occupies a full three pages in the Records of the Grand Historian, its literary treatment is only slightly less elaborate than that of the Trojan War's retreat.

This accident had a profound impact on human history.

The alarm bell echoes in the Records of the Grand Historian, ringing for a full three pages!!

Speaking of which, it was pitiful. At the time, all the gravitational data theories were theoretically sound. Lu Cheng and Luban came up with the overall design, and Tiangongsi calculated it without error. Even in the end, Lu Cheng borrowed 01 from the Mechanical Race to perform super-calculations.

Unexpectedly, the first structural stress test still failed due to interference from an extreme and sudden environmental disturbance. The first generation anti-gravity array's resistance to rule disruptions was weak and ultimately led to failure.

It's okay that the experiment failed. We had good safety measures in place at the time, and we evacuated everyone promptly. We also protected important facilities.

But after the experiment failed, the cultists took advantage of the situation and launched a spiritual contamination attack on Nanyuan's security measures. Although the Shanhai Division found and destroyed the hidden cult base in time, the losses suffered by Star Nanyuan were considerable.

After the Great War of the South China Sea, the Nightmare King's main body disappeared, but they had once polluted many words and numbers. The Heavenly Court made no record of their existence, lest they should be able to return from the dead and invade the human spirit world again.

However, in the earliest infected sandpit, cults worshipping ancient gods still exist widely. They use squid, octopus, and cuttlefish as totems and engage in anti-human activities.

The Bedouin Arabs and the Menil family, with the support of Landholder, have been engaged in a long-standing struggle against the cultists.

But spiritual pollution is extremely difficult to discern...

That time they all came out together, regardless of the risk, just to make things happen.

Although there were no casualties in the end, the economic losses fully surpassed the damage caused by the main force of the enemy fleet in the South China Sea!

After that incident, even officials suggested that wartime emotional management regulations should be added to the Tian條, to prevent the spread of psychological contamination...

Because spiritual pollution is usually transmitted through strong emotional waves such as fear and love.

It has to be said that in order to prevent unseen and intangible enemies, novels often write about... the regulation prohibiting private relationships almost passed by a half.

Forcing people not to have private relationships is idiotic, but it's not a major mistake....Because the spread of mental pollution could really lead to extinction.

But in the end, the Heavenly Court Law Department voted to retain the precious emotions of humanity, but they must be closely monitored. If an emergency arises.

The pressure returned to Tiangongsi...

Craftsmen have created countless miracles throughout history, and this time is no exception.

Under the leadership of Lu Cheng, the skilled artisans quickly came up with a plan.

How to prevent water pollution

How can we prevent mental pollution

Still need to filter...

.......

"Prevention is better than cure."

This is not just aimed at the Nightmare race, considering that the Fantasy Insect race may also have psychic contamination weapons, this is a necessary measure.

Deploy a massive number of bird-shaped drones to quickly build an emotional barrier, bridging the mortal world and the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court's Divine Law Enforcement Army, adept at absorbing emotions, would garrison this barrier. They would absorb most human emotions and transmit them through this bridge.

As long as this place remains steadfast, humanity can hold onto their true selves amidst the spiritual contamination of alien worlds. They will have defenses against all psychic weapons and be able to keep all psychic intrusions and spiritual pollution at bay!

This magnificent bridge, also a contemporary mythological-level magical artifact, after its completion, will form a line of defense on its own, a feat for all ages!
