"The Huanyu is 10.2 kilometers long, 1.8 kilometers wide at its widest point, and 0.9 kilometers high at its highest point," Qin Zhanjun reported. "The hull is made of a nano-carbon nanotube-titanium alloy composite material, which is fifty times stronger than aerospace steel and only one-third the weight. The outer layer is covered with an energy-absorbing and scattering coating, providing excellent protection against radar, lasers, and particle beams."

He pulled up a diagram of the weapon system: "The main weapon is the 'Genesis' class energy cannon at the bow, with a maximum power output equivalent to 100 million tons of TNT and a range of up to one million kilometers. The secondary weapons include thirty-two electromagnetic railguns, each capable of accelerating a one-ton projectile to 0.1 times the speed of light. The close-in weapon system consists of 1,200 laser and particle beam arrays, capable of intercepting any approaching missiles or aircraft."

Qin Feng looked at the parameters and remained silent for a moment.

One hundred million tons of yield. The Hiroshima atomic bomb had a yield of 1.5 kilotons, which is equivalent to more than six thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs exploding simultaneously.

Moreover, this is not a nuclear weapon, but a pure energy weapon, with no radiation pollution and its power can be precisely controlled.

"What about the energy supply?" he asked.

"The core of the warship consists of twelve antimatter reactors, which, together with the energy storage system, can sustain full-power operation for thirty years," Qin Zhanjun replied. "In addition, we have a matter-to-energy conversion system as a backup, which can directly convert stored matter into energy when necessary."

Next, they visited the hangar.

This is a huge space that is two kilometers long, eight hundred meters wide, and three hundred meters high, divided into five levels.

Two thousand unmanned space fighters are parked on each floor—a total of ten thousand.

These fighter jets are shaped like soaring eagles, are entirely black, have a wingspan of fifteen meters, and are equipped with laser cannons and particle beams.

"The fighter jets' AI systems can operate independently or in swarms. Their maximum acceleration can reach 50G, far exceeding the limits of manned fighter jets," said Qin Zhanjun. "They can operate in space and also perform missions within the atmosphere. Each fighter jet possesses stealth capabilities, with a radar cross-section only the size of a sparrow."

They passed through the hangar and arrived at the living quarters.

This place doesn't resemble a military facility at all; it's more like a modern urban community.

It has a lighting system that simulates natural light, an artificial landscape park, a gym, a library, an entertainment room, and even a small farm growing fresh vegetables.

"While officers and soldiers don't need 'rest' in the traditional sense, a suitable leisure environment helps maintain their mental agility," Qin Zhanjun explained. "We simulated the Earth's day-night rhythm and arranged cultural learning and skills training courses. After all, we are not only soldiers, but also inheritors of civilization."

Qin Feng nodded in approval. He valued this point highly—the cyborgs he created were not tools, but individuals with thoughts, culture, and aspirations. They should enjoy a complete life.

Finally, they arrived at the core area of ​​the warship: the command center.

This is a highly confidential spherical space, only fifty meters in diameter, but its walls are covered with displays and control panels. At the center is a holographic projection table, currently displaying a real-time model of the entire solar system.

"Boss, please take a look." Qin Zhanjun operated the control panel to switch the projection.

The image shows the Kuiper Belt region, the outer edge of the solar system.

There, hundreds of asteroids are being terraformed, and dozens of shipyards are already taking shape.

Even more shocking is that thirty larger warships are already under construction—judging from their outlines, they are at least twice the length of the "World".

"Construction of the Kuiper Belt base began three months ago and is progressing smoothly," Qin Zhanjun reported. "The plan is to build thirty-six 'Guardian' class warships, each twenty kilometers in length, equipped with more powerful weapons and protection systems. All are expected to be completed by the end of 2027."

He paused, then pulled up another set of data: "Meanwhile, we established an outpost at the edge of the Oort cloud and began exploring extraterrestrial space. According to preliminary detections, no signs of powerful extraterrestrial civilizations have been found within fifty light-years of our solar system."

Qin Feng watched all of this quietly.

In just six months, they built twelve interstellar warships and a space force of one million men from scratch, and even established a new base in the Kuiper Belt.

Such a rapid pace of development would cause panic if any country on Earth knew about it.

But Qin Feng wasn't worried. These bases were far from Earth and had sophisticated stealth and protection measures. Earth-based observation methods simply couldn't detect them.

"Boss, there's something I need your decision on," Qin Zhanjun said. "According to the plan, the fleet should conduct live-fire exercises. However, there are no suitable targets within the solar system. I suggest choosing an asteroid as a target to test the power of the main weapons."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and shook his head: "Not for now. The energy cannon is too powerful and might attract the attention of Earth observation agencies. Let's conduct regular training first—fleet maneuvers, fighter jet combat, and system coordination. We can conduct combat tests in more distant space after Kuiper's fleet is completed."

"clear."

The inspection lasted eight hours. When Qin Feng boarded the shuttle again to prepare for the return voyage, he stood beside the berth of the "Universe" and took one last look at this steel behemoth.

The lights are like a sea of ​​stars, and the structure is like a mountain range. Millions of officers and soldiers live, train, and prepare here.

A strange emotion suddenly welled up in my heart.

Such power is enough to conquer the Earth in a single day.

All nations and all armies are as vulnerable as children in the face of this fleet.

If he wanted, he could easily become the sole ruler of this planet...

"Boss?" Qin Zhanjun noticed his silence.

Qin Feng shook his head, suppressing the dangerous thought.

Power corrupts the heart, and absolute power leads to absolute arrogance. He created this fleet not to rule, but to protect. If he himself were to be corrupted by power first, then everything would lose its meaning.

"Remember our principles," he told Qin Zhanjun. "The fleet's existence is a deterrent, not an invasion. Unless Earth faces an insurmountable external threat, or someone attempts to interfere with the development of the Huanyu Group by force, the fleet will never proactively intervene in Earth's affairs."

"Yes! The principle has been written into the core procedures of all officers and soldiers," Qin Zhanjun replied, standing at attention.

Qin Feng boarded the shuttle. The hatch closed and the engine started.

As the shuttle sailed out of the "Universe" and re-entered the boundless space, Qin Feng watched through the porthole as the twelve warships gradually shrank in the starry sky.

They floated there silently, like sleeping giants.

But when needed, they can awaken at any time and unleash a roar that shakes the stars.

On the way back, Qin Feng kept thinking.

With this fleet, many plans can be accelerated.

The development of industries such as chip manufacturing, materials, and film and television bases can be accelerated.

There is no need to worry about any external pressure or any form of interference.

If anyone tries to threaten with force, then sorry—you have aircraft carriers, I have starships. You have nuclear weapons, I have orbital cannons. Have your problems with my orbital cannon!

This is not a threat, it's just stating a fact.

Of course, he wouldn't deliberately display these powers unless absolutely necessary.

But they certainly have enough confidence.
