Chapter 369 The Star Eaters Attack! (4K)

The third set of design drawings surprised Li Ye.

【Item Name: "Starlight" Space Cruiser】

[Level: Level 6]

[Additional effects: 1. Range +60% 2. Accuracy +70%]

[Crafting Requirements: 900 units of Iron Ore (Level 6), 150 units of Precision Space Vehicle Parts (Level 6)]

【Configuration:】

【"Armor-Piercing Spike" MKII Railgun】

[Twin-mounted particle beam turret]

[“Bullet Screen” Type Close-Range Laser Matrix]

[32-cell vertical missile launch silo]

At first glance, the Starburst Space Cruiser's appearance is the ultimate embodiment of functional aesthetics in spacecraft.

Its hull has a sharp, spindle-shaped design with clean, crisp lines and no redundant design elements. Every angle reveals speed, precision, and efficiency.

"This harvest is pretty good!" Li Ye exclaimed.

With the projects for space-type MA and space cruisers, Tomorrow Alliance's space fleet began to take shape.

Traveling in space without a space fleet providing escort does indeed feel quite unsafe.

The fourth set of design drawings is the building type.

【Item Name: Sticky Space Cell】

[Level: Level 6]

[Additional effect: Completely freezes the air in the cell, thoroughly restricting the prisoner's movement]

[Crafting Requirements: 30 units of iron ore (Level 6)]

The viscous space cell is rectangular in shape and has a high-tech feel. Its function is very similar to the super-density gaseous cells in stellar prisons.

Currently, the security situation in Tomorrow Alliance is relatively good, so Li Ye doesn't think it's necessary to build a Level 6 prison.

The fifth blueprint is for the Super Mobile Suit accessory "Holographic Decoy Generator," which has the effect of "generating up to 3 holographic clones with thermal/radar signals, lasting for 15 seconds," and can also pre-set motion trajectories or synchronize with the main body's movements. Crafting requires "100 units of level 6 iron ore and 50 units of level 6 precision parts."

This accessory essentially provides the super mobile suit with an extra layer of safety, and can even be surprisingly effective when fighting enemy mobile suits.

After reviewing the level 6 design blueprints, Li Ye began to distribute the three upgrade blueprints.

He used the Tier 6 city building upgrade blueprints to upgrade the rare ore factory. This way, the Tomorrow Alliance can smelt and produce Tier 6 rare ore by inputting low-level rare ore. Tier 6 rare ore is one of the core materials for crafting various Tier 6 accessories.

Following behind were the city's textile factories.

The Tier 6 city device upgrade blueprints were used to upgrade the gravitational wave controller. Once the gravitational wave controller reached Tier 6, Tomorrow would have the capability to produce and build it.

Not only the Iron Whale, but other mobile cities can also install gravitational wave controllers.

After being upgraded to level 6, the gravitational wave controller's side effects were significantly enhanced, increasing from 1 kilometer to 100 kilometers, and its effectiveness was also increased several times over.

However, in space, a range of 100 kilometers is really not much.

As for the Tier 6 Super Mobile Suit accessory upgrade blueprints, Li Ye couldn't think of which one to upgrade for the time being.

Tomorrow Alliance currently has four types of super mobile suits, and its level 5 accessories are countless.

But he soon had an idea.

Upgrade the "Kiss of the End" quantum sniper cannon, and the Source Angel's long-range sniping capabilities will be further enhanced.

As Li Ye walked out of the production workshop, preparing to return to his room to continue resting, Novi's image suddenly appeared before him.

"Master, I just received a long-distance communication from space. The sender claims to be from the investor civilization's T62 fleet," she asked. "Should we connect?"

After a moment's hesitation, Li Ye nodded.

As soon as the communication was established, two figures appeared in front of him.

Those were none other than investors Solax and Zar.

However, they weren't as lively and friendly as when they met on Aetheria; instead, they seemed somewhat listless.

Li Ye's lips twitched immediately—as mentioned in the intelligence report, these two were driving a Rolls-Royce purchased from the Tomorrow Alliance, speeding inside the ship and causing a serious traffic accident, for which they were severely punished.

“Hello, Mr. Liye,” Solax began. “I must say, you really are a troublemaker. According to our fleet’s space radar, you actually wandered all the way from Aetheria to Cadent.”

As a highly advanced extraterrestrial intelligent civilization, the Investor Civilization's fleet radar is capable of detecting the entire solar system, and everything is clearly visible to them.

“Long time no see, Mr. Solax and Mr. Zal,” said Li Ye. “May I ask what brings you two here?”

The two investors exchanged a glance, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

“Watch out, there’s a huge thing heading toward the artificial planet where your human civilization is located,” Solax said.

Seeing their expressions, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"How big is it?" he couldn't help but ask.

Solax raised one of his front hooves and made an exaggerated gesture.

"Hmm, it's about the size of two or three planets."

The giant creature he was referring to was actually the "Star Eater" mentioned in the intelligence report, which had visited the solar system.

The Star Eaters come from the McCallum system and are wanted criminals in the system whose crimes include devouring various planets.

The wanted item is classified as a biological/technological creation.

Fleet T62 detected his movements and learned that his next target was "Fireseed Star," the artificial planet currently on which human civilization depends.

Therefore, the higher-ups dispatched Solax and Zhar to warn the Wilderness and Skadar civilizations.

The two appeared before Li Ye, revealing the detected image of the Star Eater.

A colossal, highly mechanized humanoid creature, large enough to hold a superplanet in its arms.

His face was a huge, classical, masculine humanoid shape, its surface covered with ancient carvings and lava-like cracks. The entire face was expressionless, with slightly closed eyes, like a majestic statue that exuded absolute authority and coldness.

He also wore a ring-shaped mechanical crown, which was structured as a powerful gravitational wave emitter and sensor array for navigation and target locking.

The Star Eater was clad in thick mechanical armor from head to toe, with a massive, exposed mechanical spine extending from its back, from which tens of thousands of energy transmission lines and hydraulic rods as thick as mountains extended. A stream of blazing white energy flowed through these lines, flickering with its movements.

His arms are made up of countless giant mechanical segments, and his legs are equipped with two enormous, counter-rotating star rings. These two star rings continuously generate a powerful directional gravitational field, enabling the Star Eater to "walk" in the space environment.

“Currently, the Star Eater is 35213 kilometers away from Fireseed,” Zal warned. “He is expected to arrive in three days. At the speed of your artificial planet, even if you choose to escape now, you will be caught up very quickly.”

Li Ye frowned involuntarily.

I never expected him to encounter such a troublesome situation.

"By the way, since you said the Star Eater is a wanted criminal in the McCarran system," he said, "could you help me contact the interstellar law enforcement agency in the McCarran system and have him arrested?"

Solax and Zal exchanged a glance, and a hint of regret appeared on the faces of both investors.

When the Star Eater was discovered, Fleet T62 had already notified the interstellar law enforcement agencies in the McCallum system.

However, due to the inherently busy nature of interstellar law enforcement agencies, which are often preoccupied with numerous intergalactic affairs, they are often unable to spare the time. Furthermore, since Star Eaters are considered low-level criminals, even when a report is received, the time allotted for dealing with them is three months later.

"This kind of criminal who can devour planets is considered low-class?" Li Ye was surprised.

Solax spread out his forelimbs, revealing an innocent look.

"He's definitely a nobody! A decent interstellar criminal could wipe out an entire planetary cluster in one go."

"."

Zar, who was standing to the side, chimed in.

"Actually, the Star Eater isn't that powerful."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ye's spirits lifted.

"It sounds like you guys have a way to defeat him?"

In reality, the Star Eater is at most a massive, mechanically modified cosmic entity with the ability to devour planets.

His combat ability wasn't as high as I'd imagined.

In the past, the Star Eaters could only wander the edge of the McCallum system, searching for planets to devour.

"Well, with the current combat capabilities of your human civilization, you should be able to inflict effective damage on him," Zal concluded.

After wishing good fortune to human civilization, the two investors ended their communication.

Li Ye, feeling agitated, grabbed a handful of her hair and made a mess of it.

Since the destruction of Planet Weilan, human civilization has barely managed to establish itself in the solar system thanks to Planet Huozi, never expecting to encounter such a thing.

If the planet Mars is destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Currently, the vast majority of human troops are still on their way back to Fireseed Planet, and Fireseed Planet's defensive capabilities are actually very limited.

"In that case, the Alliance needs to go back early tomorrow," he thought to himself.

After gathering his companions to discuss the matter, Li Ye activated the recall device, sending the Tomorrow Alliance back to Fireseed Star.

The staff stationed at the planetary teleportation device were extremely curious as they watched the sudden return of the Tomorrow Alliance.

"Why are you back so soon?"

After learning the whole story from Li Ye, their expressions all changed.

Li Ye hurriedly met with the high-ranking officials of the Fire Seed Star and informed them that the Star Eaters would be attacking in three days.

Bad news followed one after another.

Due to the long distance, only a few human forces have returned to Fireseed Planet so far.

Moreover, they were all defeated and in dire need of rest.

"So our Tomorrow Alliance is currently the only force capable of being deployed in combat?" Li Ye asked.

Seeing the senior officials nod slowly, his expression changed slightly, and then he asked again.

"What about the three Level 6 mobile city combat clusters of the human side? Have they all been wiped out?"

He learned both good news and bad news from the other party.

Good news: All three Level 6 mobile city combat clusters are still operational.

Bad news: None of them have recall devices and cannot quickly return to Fireseed Star to provide assistance.

The reason is very simple.

As the elite forces of three major world-class organizations, the Level 6 Mobile Urban Combat Cluster's mission is external combat, not space exploration. Therefore, they do not carry recall devices.

In fact, among the three major human organizations, only forces like the Tomorrow Alliance, which conduct long-term space exploration, carry recall devices with them.

Li Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath.

So, this time they can only rely on their own Tomorrow Alliance to hold on?

Although investors have said that the Star Eaters are not as strong as they seem, it's really hard to say whether Tomorrow's League can win.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to go for it." He sighed.

The human leadership immediately arranged for refuge operations to be carried out on Fireseed Star.

More than 3 million people on this artificial planet will take refuge away from the planet Fireseed by traveling in a mobile city modified by space travel.

Upon learning that an enemy the size of a planet would one day devour Fireseed Star, everyone lived in constant fear.

Li Ye held a meeting with the higher-ups to discuss countermeasures.

"Don't worry, Fireseed Planet was built with various contingency plans, including one for the eventual invasion by an enemy," a high-ranking official said. "Three days is more than enough time for us to evacuate all the planet's inhabitants."

“That’s not enough.” Another high-ranking official frowned. “Fireseed Star was built with a huge investment of manpower and resources. Are we just going to abandon it so easily?”

The leading executive pondered for a moment.

"Given the Tomorrow Alliance's experience on the planet Aetheria, could we turn Fireseed Star into a planetary cannon to bombard the Star Eaters?"

His words astonished everyone present.

Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Yeah, there's a planetary cannon!"

Li Ye suddenly woke up as if from a dream.

This is undoubtedly a super weapon capable of severely killing the Star Eaters.

He immediately inquired about the specific data of the Fireseed Star from the higher-ups, and had Novi begin calculating whether the Fireseed Star could build planetary cannons.

"I'm sorry, Master. The success rate of transforming Fireseed Star into a planetary cannon is only 1.3%," Novi said.

She also reminded Li Ye of something.

While the planetary cannon is incredibly powerful, its recoil is also extremely strong.

Even Aetheria, a gas giant with a supercritical atmosphere as a buffer, couldn't withstand it, let alone the solid-structured planet, Fireseed.

Even if Fireseed Star were to build a planetary cannon and successfully fire it, the planet would inevitably be completely destroyed by the powerful recoil of the planetary cannon.

Upon learning the result, the group was not discouraged but continued their discussion.

"If we want to protect Fireseed Star, we need to successfully intercept and defeat the Star Eater from thousands of kilometers away," a high-ranking official said. "We absolutely cannot let him get close to Fireseed Star."

The top leader clearly didn't want to give up, and after a moment's thought, he came up with a completely new idea.

"There must be planets in space that could be converted into planetary cannons, right?"

The people who were talking were taken aback, their eyes flickering.

Yup!

It doesn't necessarily have to be a fire-seed planet transformed into a planetary cannon!
