Start with a blacksmith shop.

The military leader's phone call went straight to the top, and he gave the big boss a detailed account of everything he had seen on the scene.

The entire process of manufacturing the spaceplane, along with the subsequent manufacturing plans, was explained clearly, and Li Zhenhua's current attitude was also made clear to the bigwigs.

Upon hearing about the current progress of the space fighters, the leader was extremely excited. With the space fighters, Kyushu would be considered to have stood up. Although Kyushu wouldn't actively provoke war, it still needed to have a deterrent force in the face of provocation.

Whether a country is truly at peace is not something that can be resolved through compromise or politics. Only when a country has sufficient military strength can the interests of Kyushu be guaranteed.

It was precisely because the leader had these thoughts that he felt the current space fighters were of great significance!

"Good, good, good! This is great! With so many aerospace fighters, I believe we will be able to protect the legitimate interests of Kyushu, and even the interests of Earth in the future."

Don't think I'm talking in my sleep when I say these things. I believe that there must be other life forms in the vast universe.

We will inevitably encounter these life forms in the future. If their technology surpasses ours, will our Earth be able to compete with them? The answer is, of course, no. They will likely view us the way we view ants!

I believe the Dark Forest Theory is the most suitable approach for Earth right now, and only by following this principle can we give Earth a chance to survive.

This sense of crisis is something we must consider now. At this stage, who knows how advanced extraterrestrial civilizations have become?

The success of the spaceplane has brought me a sense of relief; with it, we finally have some ability to protect ourselves.

After hearing the big boss's true thoughts, the military leader never imagined that the big boss was no longer limited to the Earth's scope, but was already considering whether there would be a space war in the future!

Although it sounds far-fetched, it's really not far-fetched. It's not a matter of whether it's far-fetched or not. The universe is so vast that current human technology cannot find its edge. And Earth, relative to the universe, is like a cell in the human body.

In such a vast universe, is it really possible that life, or even intelligent life, could only exist on Earth? That would be nothing short of wishful thinking. A simple question of probability can easily answer that.

The universe is so vast that Earth, which is not even a drop in the ocean, is certainly not an isolated case.

Under these circumstances, what would be the technological level of extraterrestrial life capable of reaching Earth? It's simply unimaginable.

Before the advent of space fighters, if they encountered a hostile enemy, they would be at the mercy of others. But now that they have them, although they don't know what equipment these imaginary enemies are equipped with, at least they have the power to fight back.

Thinking about these things, the military leader felt a surge of tension. He followed the leader's thoughts and was truly shocked by the current state of Earth.

However, he soon realized that what the big shot had said and what he had imagined were, after all, just imagination, not reality.

After chatting with the big boss for a while, he reported that he had finished all the work on this side.

He was giving a report, and it was during this time that old man Wang Yuesheng made a phone call to the Eastern Station and also contacted the Kyushu Space Agency. The five air force pilots were transferred to Dongshan by him.

During the time that Li Zhenhua was building the space fighter, Snow Owl and his group of five did not go into space. Not only did they go, but they also took two or three people with them each time.

The Tiangong space station, which was originally designed to be very spacious, has long been filled by the nearly thirty astronauts from Kyushu. The scene inside Tiangong now resembles a bustling market.

Why is the Tiangong space station so crowded? That has to do with the further development and construction of the lunar base!

As Kyushu continued to develop its lunar base, the astronauts on the moon felt the lack of manpower, and even with powered exoskeletons, it was far from enough to keep up with their development.

Then the Kyushu Space Agency made a decision, which was approved by higher authorities: to send a large number of people to the lunar base to expand its construction.

It was because of this decision that Kyushu began to frantically send more people to the moon using spaceplanes in the days that followed.

The lunar base, just like the Tiangong space station, is now packed with people. Those people in the Tiangong space station are additional personnel who will be heading to the moon in a spaceplane.

Since Kyushu developed its own spaceplane, it has gained a significant advantage in space and lunar projects. Not to mention the lunar base, the Tiangong space station in space alone has expanded its internal volume three to four times in a very short period of time.

All of these parts were transported to space using spaceplanes. Almost all of the modules needed for the Tiangong space station were immediately loaded onto spaceplanes as soon as they left the factory, and then transported to their designated orbits by Snow Owl and his crew.

It can be said that all of Kyushu's projects in space are making rapid progress, and not only that, Snow Owl and his team have also mastered the operation of spaceplanes!

It can be said that Snow Owl and his team's piloting skills for the spaceplane are now almost on par with Li Zhenhua's skills, which he honed after countless deaths. Therefore, Wang Yuesheng and his team are not worried at all about the upcoming test flights of the spaceplane.

This time, the old man felt much more relaxed than when they were working on the new type of passenger-cargo aircraft that Li Zhenhua had mentioned.

The reason was that Snow Owl and his companions were no longer novices who were encountering this aircraft for the first time. They were already quite familiar with anti-gravity spaceplanes, so Wang Yuesheng was very reassured about them.

When Wang Yuesheng made the call, Snow Owl and his team had just completed a cargo mission to the Tiangong space station. This time, they were not only transporting supplies to the space station, but also bringing back three astronauts from the Tiangong space station.

The reason for this is that the space station is already too full, and the addition of these supplies has further reduced the already limited space. Therefore, this not-so-large space station needs to reduce the number of personnel in orbit.

After receiving Wang Yuesheng's order, the five of them immediately took action. Snow Owl and the others received an emergency mission, so they didn't take advantage of any favorable conditions. Instead, each of them took a Raptor and drove towards the Kyushu Divine Beast Company.

After they landed one by one at the Kyushu Divine Beast Test Flight Field, they disembarked from the plane wearing anti-G suits and headed directly towards Wang Yuesheng's location.

They landed at the Nine Provinces Divine Beast three hours after Wang Yuesheng made the phone call, which was just past midnight. After the five of them found Wang Yuesheng, the old man unceremoniously booked a room for each of them in the Nine Provinces Divine Beast's reception area.

They were told to get a good night's rest, and that a very challenging task would be presented to them the next morning!

Snow Owl and the others, somewhat confused, obeyed Wang Yuesheng's order to rest. Knowing they had a mission the next day, they didn't care what the mission was, as long as they got enough rest, and the five of them fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, before the sun had risen, the sky was already turning a pale white. At this time, behind Li's blacksmith shop was Li Zhenhua's courtyard.

It was in this courtyard that the sounds, resembling cats in heat, never ceased that night, continuing until very late before finally disappearing.

The person who started all of this was sleeping with one breast in each hand, and the person whose breasts he was holding had a very satisfied expression on their face.

What does it mean to "gallop and whip one's horse"? Li Zhenhua and Li Yun's actions throughout the night perfectly illustrated this phrase, and it was truly satisfying!

Just as dawn was breaking, Li Zhenhua and Li Yun had just fallen asleep, and it was also the time when Xue Xiao and the others woke up from their slumber.

After the snowy owls woke up, they put on their military uniforms, then put on their anti-gravity suits, tidied themselves up, and before leaving the room, they neatly folded the beds they had slept on the night before, just like soldiers in formation.

They came out of the reception room, and since they were not familiar with the Nine Provinces Divine Beasts, they skipped the routine morning exercise and headed straight to the Nine Provinces Divine Beasts breakfast area.

Upon arriving at the self-service breakfast area, the five of them ate something there and then waited for Wang Yuesheng and Jun Tou to arrive.

They waited until it was completely light before the two leaders arrived. After the two old men had breakfast, they led the five of them toward Li Zhenhua's experimental workshop.

The workshop wasn't entirely unfamiliar to Snow Owl and his group of five. Their magical and legendary story began here, and it was here that they came to serve as test pilots, which gave them the opportunity to go into space.

Now, going into space is as commonplace for them as eating a meal!

Wang Yuesheng and Jun Tou, along with Xue Xiao and four others, stood in the workshop. Wang Yuesheng pointed to the fighter jet placed in front of them and said to the five men.

"Do you see this fighter jet? That's why I called you all here from the space agency. I'd like the five of you to become test pilots for this aircraft. Would you be willing?"

Listening to Wang Yuesheng's words, their eyes never left the fighter jet in front of them. The fighter jet looked so familiar to them, but they couldn't find it in their memories.

The five people looked forward and backward, and finally understood why they all had this feeling: they were thinking about the means of transportation they had used to get there.

The plane was indeed a Raptor. In many ways, the plane in front of us looked just like a Raptor, but upon closer inspection, it exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

In their view, this aircraft must be very advanced. Considering the workshop they were in, they had a pretty good idea that the aircraft in front of them was indeed what they had guessed.

Regardless of what they wanted to say, when asked by their superiors, they naturally answered yes.

"Sir, we are willing to be the test pilots for this aircraft!" the five men replied in unison, with unwavering resolve, to the two leaders, Wang Yuesheng and the other man.

Now that there are fighter jets here that are about to be test-flown, and pilots on standby at any time, isn't this the perfect condition for them to conduct test flights of the fighter jets?

"Okay, you're all doing a great job. Now let me tell you about this plane."

First of all, let me tell you, don't think this aircraft is outdated. It is the same type of aircraft as the space fighters you are currently piloting. Both are nuclear-powered anti-gravity aircraft.

The aircraft in front of you is specifically designed for combat; it's a true aerospace fighter!

When Wang Yuesheng finished speaking, the five people immediately became excited. The aircraft in front of them was equivalent to a professional space fighter, and it was much more professional than the spaceplanes they were currently piloting, which were more like transport planes than fighter jets.

They were all filled with anticipation for the aircraft, and everyone wanted to take it for a test flight. This was an aerospace fighter jet specifically developed for war. They had flown fighter jets before, so it's no wonder they were so excited about it.

Then, the most skilled of them, Snowy Owl, was chosen, and the task of test-flying the aerospace fighter once again fell to Snowy Owl.

While they were tinkering with aerospace fighters in the workshop, Li Zhenhua was sleeping soundly with Li Yun in his arms.

While he was still asleep, he felt a very soft little body appear on his stomach, with the little bottom squatting down on his stomach.

Before he could even fully wake up, he was jolted awake by a tiny person weighing twenty or thirty pounds squatting on him. As soon as he felt the weight on his stomach, he immediately restrained the tiny person on top of him, then rolled over and pressed it onto the bed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhenhua stretched out his hands and reached towards the little man's armpits, then he started scratching him.

"Giggle, help! Mommy, come quick! Daddy's teasing me! He's tickling me!"

Little Chestnut was being tickled by Li Zhenhua and was calling out to Li Yun for help. Her little feet were kicking wildly in the air, and unsurprisingly, they landed on Li Yun.

Li Yun, who had been battling all night, was still very sleepy and couldn't keep up with her thoughts. However, the slight pain from being kicked by Xiao Lizi woke her up.

Once fully awake, Li Yun looked at the two figures, one big and one small, haphazardly arranging themselves around her, and a particularly bright smile appeared on her face!

"You two are such a worry! My darling daughter, hang in there, Mommy's coming to help you!"
