Xingtie, the lazy girl wants to rebel

Now, this ambiguous strategy of preparing for war while disengaging has caused doubts among many members of the Chiming Clan:

"If we finally succeed in breaking away from the Istria sector, wouldn't all the destruction we've done for war preparations be in vain?..."

As a result, public opposition gradually gathered.

Some people began to surround the Yunqi construction team to prevent them from destroying the natural environment of Donghai Dongtian.

Some people have even begun calling for the withdrawal of this war preparation order.

Why don't we just focus on running? Wouldn't that be much easier? ...

……

When General Fu Bo Xuan Quan learned the news, her brows furrowed and she became more uneasy.

She knew that whether it was to escape or prepare for battle, every second counted! Otherwise, even the slightest delay could lead to a huge disaster...

So she immediately decided to rush to the construction site of Donghai Dongtian to personally resolve this unexpected conflict between soldiers and civilians.

When Xuanquan arrived, the scene before her made her heart sink:

Hundreds of Chiming people surrounded the construction site and were angrily confronting the Yunqi Army.

Some people held banners with protest messages written on them, and some even stood on the land that was about to be leveled to stop the construction.

The machinery stopped working and the soldiers of the Cloud Cavalry were trapped in chaos.

Their persuasion was obviously ineffective...

Xuan Quan took a deep breath, walked down from the Star Raft calmly, pushed through the crowd, and walked to the front of the confrontation.

She was not tall, but she exuded a convincing sense of majesty and stability.

"My fellow tribesmen, I am General Fubo Xuanquan!"

Her voice was clear and powerful.

"I'm here today to put an end to this dispute!"

"So please give me a moment to explain the situation!"

The originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and all eyes were now focused on Xuan Quan.

Then she whispered:

"I completely understand your dissatisfaction..."

"The beauty of the Donghai Cave Heaven is the result of generations of hard work by the Chiming clan, and it is also the treasure of the Fanghu Immortal Boat."

"Xuanquan is also in awe of this..."

"However, the current situation is extremely urgent. Although we don't know exactly where the enemy is, if we don't deploy defenses in advance, once we encounter the enemy, won't our people be at the mercy of others?"

"If we lose the lives of our people, even the most beautiful scenery is meaningless..."

"Our temporary destruction now is also for better reconstruction in the future!..."

The emotions in the crowd began to waver, and silence gradually enveloped the entire scene.

However, some residents questioned the issue, saying, "What if the enemy doesn't come? Wouldn't destroying our homes be more harm than good?"

Xuanquan looked at the questioner with a firm gaze:

"The possibility you mentioned does exist..."

"But now that our tribe's numbers cannot increase, we must find ways to reduce the risk of casualties as much as possible."

"We cannot rely on the so-called possibility that 'the enemy won't come', but must proactively prepare for the future!..."

Xuan Quan's words, spoken as a general, immediately echoed in everyone's hearts.

She glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"I'm not forcing you to let go of your emotions immediately..."

"But please believe that every step we take is for the future of Fanghu Xianzhou!"

"The situation is urgent now!"

"If anyone continues to obstruct us, I authorize the Cloud Cavalry to take necessary coercive action!"

Her voice was as firm as stone, and her final command was filled with overwhelming decisiveness.

After Xuanquan's persuasion and communication, the people's emotions gradually calmed down, and the stalled construction was finally able to resume...

However, the consequences of this conflict are also very obvious.

Because the opposition voices wasted too much time, many key fortifications in Donghai Dongtian were not carried out as planned, and even many defense lines had to be built hastily.

As a result, the quality and progress of the fortifications fell short of expectations, and some of the Cloud Cavalry even discussed privately:

"If the enemy truly breaks into the Donghai Cave Heaven, their fortifications probably won't hold out for long..."

……

And a few days later in General Fu Bo's mansion.

Xuan Quan leaned against the table, looking at the project progress report in his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

Within the specified time, the defense lines of other caves in Fanghu Xianzhou have been basically completed as planned.

However, the defenses of Donghai Dongtian still haven't met expectations...

The cold data in the report is silently stating this pessimistic reality.

If you put yourself in his shoes, if Xuan Quan at this moment is Bu Liren's nest father.

Seeing how rudimentary her opponent's fortifications were, she would probably burst out laughing right there, right? ...

"Ugh……"

Xuan Quan sighed softly, placed the report back on the table, and then swept his gaze towards the center of the hall...

There was a three-dimensional holographic projection map, showing the various caves of the fairy boat and its outer defense situation.

Although Xuan Quan was very worried about the defense of the East Sea Cave Heaven itself.

But the special location of this cave was real, which made her feel a little relieved...

The location of the Donghai Cave Heaven is relatively close to the most heavily guarded Jade Realm Gate. Relying on the existence of the outer defense line, it may be able to make up for the problem of insufficient defense of the Donghai Cave Heaven.

Fanghu Immortal Boat, as a giant ship comparable to a planet, its defense system is certainly not limited to the level of close combat within the cave.

The Fang Hu Xian Zhou is centered around its massive ship, and expands outwards to encompass a series of meticulously designed defensive structures:

The first is the Jade Realm Gate, also known as the Immortal Boat Gateway, which is the first checkpoint of the entire defense system.

This gate not only has an ultra-high-strength energy barrier, but is also surrounded by a dense close-in defense artillery matrix. It is powerful enough to wipe out an entire fleet of beast ships in an instant, and its firepower is impenetrable.

Further out, there is an energy crystal wall that can cover the entire fairy boat.

This is a dynamically controlled shield system that can adjust energy distribution according to enemy firepower to minimize the attack effect.

There are also scattered counterattack nodes embedded on the crystal wall, which can accurately counterattack the enemy's long-range firepower...

Further outward, there are a large number of multi-system fleets with the immortal boat as the mother ship.

Large frigates undertake long-range fire suppression tasks and form the first line of fire barrier, while medium-sized patrol ships are equipped with sensing equipment and are responsible for early warning and medium-range interception.

Small supply ships and fighting ships are distributed at the edge of the fleet, providing flexible support and defense for the entire system.

In addition, there are flagships of various flying teams, which are even tougher and stronger, with powerful firepower, and can play a dual role of assault or defense in battle.

These external fleets and the Fanghu Immortal Boat itself formed an interconnected defense network. Any enemy fleet that wanted to break in would have to pay a heavy price.

Objectively speaking, even if faced with an attack from a larger fleet of the People of Plenty, it would only be a matter of giving them free shooting opportunities...

However, although the defense system seemed impenetrable, Xuanquan still felt a lingering sense of unease in his heart.

"This feeling……"

"It's like a prey being driven into a trap..."

"It's really too passive..."

After thinking for a while, Xuan Quan finally decided to fill the gaps in the defense line.

She ordered the dispatch of some spare medium-sized patrol ships and deployed them to the outskirts of Donghai Dongtian to form a temporary guard.

At the same time, she instructed the engineering teams from other cave heavens to provide support and give priority to completing the key defense nodes of the East China Sea Cave Heaven.

In particular, the layout of the energy array ensures that a barrier is added to the weak area in the shortest time possible.

As soon as the order was issued, the adjutant hurried in and presented a new report:

"General, the main engine of the Immortal Ship has been preheated and the acceleration program is about to start!..."

Xuan Quan raised his head, a solemn light flashing in his eyes:

"finally……"

"Is it time yet?..."

After a period of system time, with the joint instructions issued by the top leaders of Fanghu, the engine preheating phase of the entire Fanghu Immortal Boat ended and entered the acceleration phase.

Deep inside the Immortal Boat, the engine core area.

The huge energy reactor is like an artificial star, emitting a blazing light.

Streams of deep blue and gold particles gushed out from deep within the engine, flowing through a complex series of superconducting tubes.

These particle flows are not only the power source that drives the Fanghu Immortal Boat, but also the key to protecting the entire giant ship from inertial impact.

As the engine started, a low vibration spread throughout the entire immortal boat...

For a giant ship as large as a planet, this slight vibration is already extremely significant.

However, for the people inside the square pot, even an acceleration of this magnitude was almost imperceptible.

This is one of the cutting-edge technologies on the Fanghu Immortal Boat, known as the zero-gravity balance system.

This system offsets the huge inertial force from engine acceleration through precise adjustment of superconducting energy flow and inertial field.

Whether it was the residents in the cave or the Cloud Cavalry officers on the bridge, all they felt was a slight vibration under their feet, as if an ordinary star ship had just left the dock.

Inside the main bridge, the observation screen displayed the current route map of the Fanghu Immortal Boat in real time.

It was an elegant and precise arc, passing through the interior of the Istria sector and pointing directly to the sector's border...

This route was not chosen at random.

Instead, it is the optimal solution arrived at by the fortune tellers of Fanghu Taibusi after countless deductions and optimizations.

Not only did they use equipment to simulate the movement of celestial bodies along the way in detail, they also used the Qiongguan Array to conduct dynamic deductions to ensure that the immortal boat's route avoided all possible obstacles.

There are no asteroids, no floating ice, and even very little interstellar dust...

From any perspective, this route can be described as a smooth journey, providing a relatively safe sailing environment for Fanghu Xianzhou.

"Route locked!"

The navigator reports from the control console.

"The estimated full-speed run time is 7 hours and 23 minutes, without any additional adjustments."

As the immortal boat gradually picked up speed, the surrounding scenery began to undergo miraculous changes...

The stars on the outskirts of the Istria star region slowly retreated, forming a series of brilliant star trails.

The stars in the distance transformed into flowing rainbows on the screen, while the nearby stardust belts resembled dreamy halos, appearing even more brilliant under the refraction of the crystal shield...

Chapter 115 Open fire!

The Fanghu Immortal Boat maintained its high speed and sailed for several hours along the route calculated by the Taibu Si.

At this time, this planet-level giant ship has gradually arrived at the core of the Istria star region...

Xuan Quan stood at the observation deck of the bridge, his eyes piercing through the huge screen, watching the route trajectory on the star map.

"So far, everything seems to be going well..."

She murmured to herself, and her tired nerves, which had been tense for several hours, began to be affected by this normal situation and relaxed a little.

Seeing this, the adjutant beside him hurried forward and cautiously advised:
