Chapter 690: Chapter 684: Reception (End)
“Yes, Your Highness.” At Finn Lewis’s command, the spaceship’s tail engine immediately started to emit a dark blue glow. The spaceship quickly approached the planet. Meanwhile, on the surface of the planet, a massive cavern was unfolding like a monster opening its massive jaws. Inside, guiding lights were being shone, and Lewis could already see the interior of it.
As the warship traveled past, Lewis felt as though he was operating a small spaceship, entering a first-class battleship. The size difference between the two parties was too great. Upon entering the interior port of the factory, it felt as if a steel world was presented before him. Gigantic buildings of various descriptions were all around; countless fully automated parts were in operation. This sight was worth your attention. 520.
“Your Highness, the main control system here has contacted me, should I receive it?” Luna Starfield’s voice chimed in.
“Receive it; we will be responsible for its operation in the future.” Lewis responded.
“Yes, Your Highness, it will take me some time, about half an hour. During this time, you can take a look around.” Luna Starfield suggested.
Lewis nodded. At that moment, outside the window, it seemed as if they were inside a massive channel. It seemed that they had entered a port that could house warships. After traveling tens of kilometers inside, the exterior of the warship became extremely vast. In front of them was a bottomless ravine, and a bit farther was a large platform with pillars. Around the platform, there were things that looked like ports, presumably locations to dock spacecraft.
Soft daylight-lamp illuminated the surrounding area, making it feel like daytime on Earth. Everywhere one looked there was scenery, the only difference being that all one could see above and below were steel constructions. Moreover, the entire factory had many extra-large transportation channels.
The spaceship was flying slowly inside, not heading towards the port, but towards a specific channel. Upon passing in front, the spaceship directly plunged into the channel below. Although it was going downwards, it felt like they were in space; Lewis couldn’t feel any changes in his body.
One would likely get confused working in such an environment, with the lack of clear direction. After about half an hour, Luna Starfield’s voice rang out again, “Your Highness, the factory has finished its initial calibration. Apologies for my boldness, but I am curious if this factory was created by extraterrestrial life?”
With a surprised gasp, Lewis choked on his own saliva. When an alien asked him whether something was made by an alien species, how could he not be taken aback?
“Isn’t the Galactic Federation considered extraterrestrial life when viewed from Earth’s perspective?” Lewis retorted wearily.
“Oh, I meant extragalactic life, life forms outside of the Milky Way. Your Highness, this factory’s advanced degree surpasses my imagination. According to my calculations, the Galactic Federation cannot build such a large project with its current technology. Even if it could, a lot of things inside here far exceed the technological advancement of the Galactic Federation. The main control database here is more advanced than any I’ve seen in the Galactic Federation.” Luna Starfield explained rapidly.
“Fine, you can understand it that way if you want. Whether it is life from outside the Heritage System, I don’t know.” Lewis’s heart thudded as he spoke quickly. At the same time, he focused his attention and contacted Keller on Earth.
“Supreme Ruler.” Keller’s voice echoed in Lewis’s mind.
“Cease all operations on Mars. Recover all energy sources that we can. Reduce all operations on Earth to a minimum. I will send you and Kabbalah to develop in another system.” Lewis commanded concisely.
“Yes, Supreme Ruler.” Keller agreed without any objections.
This was the fearsome aspect of the Icarus Insect Species. Although they could provide differing opinions, they would have no objections if spoken to in a commanding tone.
This idea came to Lewis as Luna Starfield mentioned the extragalactic civilization. Lewis didn’t want Luna Starfield to know about his relationship with the Insect Species. In fact, apart from Zero, Lewis didn’t want anyone to know, not even a personal intelligent brain like Luna Starfield. As for transporting Keller away, all Lewis had to do was pay some points, and Zero would help him accomplish it.
Earth was no longer suitable for Keller to develop. In fact, Mars and other planets in the Solar System were not suitable either. Letting Keller and Kabbalah develop elsewhere was in line with Lewis’s thinking, where they would be more compatible. There, they wouldn’t have any restrictions on their development, which Lewis was not worried about. However, Lewis didn’t want to be constrained here. As for the legendary Lord Jade Dragon, Lewis didn’t want to trouble him for the time being, at least until the Insect Species had developed. For now, Lewis didn’t want trouble from him.
What Lewis needed most now was to develop the Solar System. This was the foundation of Lewis.
After instructing Keller, Lewis turns his attention back from Keller. The rest of the tasks would be perfectly accomplished by Keller.
“…Your Highness, this multifunctional fully automated factory is highly advanced. Theoretically speaking, as long as there are sufficient materials, it can produce a wide range of products, including the warship we are currently using. However, this would require enough materials, and there are no materials here. All the warehouse storages are empty. The whole factory has twelve large material ports, including the entrance we came in, as well as eighty-six small and medium-sized material ports. This place can at least accommodate tens of thousands of spaceships.” Luna Starfield briefly introduced.
“Additionally, we don’t need to worry about the power system for material production here, but this place can only station a small number of humans. It’s not suitable for large-scale human habitation. Robots can be used on some posts, and there will be no problems with them.” Luna Starfield supplied.
“Hmm, I see. So, for the time being, we don’t need to invest in anything here, right?” Lewis questioned after a thought.
“It can operate autonomously without any problems for now. There wouldn’t be any issues if we don’t start production, but problems might arise once production starts.” Luna Starfield affirmed.
