Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1259 - 1226: Closing In

It took two days, approximately 49 hours, to finally complete the 4,000-meter-long recovery ship.

The 10,000 "Worker Bee-1" space collection robots produced by the "Atlantis" mechanical factory were delivered 4 hours earlier than the recovery ship.

The production efficiency of the industrial assembly line outperforms Chen Fei's Psi Skill, but for creating large items like spaceships, the Psi Skill is still more efficient. The fewer the number, the more advantageous the Psi Skill becomes. The greater the number, the stronger the industrial assembly line becomes. As long as the supply of raw materials is sufficient, it is least afraid of mass production.

When the kilometer-long giant spaceship Chen Fei was aboard entered the void outside the atmosphere, it immediately received "congratulatory messages" from the sovereignties, mostly not pleasant. They were about meddling and doing unnecessary things, not casually entering the space outside the atmosphere, and acting without permission.

After all, Blue Star isn't No.1 Star System or No.2 Star System, even if Chen Fei acts recklessly, it wouldn't pose any danger to Blue Star. Now having entered space outside the atmosphere, casually dropping anything random into the atmosphere could indeed constitute a threat to the sovereignties.

Not to mention, if this kilometer-long giant spaceship were to free fall, the destructive power would definitely not be inferior to a large-scale tactical nuclear weapon, perhaps even greater.

Chen Fei ignored these annoying warnings or threats and kept his kilometer-long spaceship on course, heading straight for the space rift in the 11 o'clock direction.

The First Sovereign didn't say anything, so he didn't need to listen to those small-fries.

Escorted by Heseman Brown, he exited the cabin once, and a colossal spaceship appeared at the edge of the "Cybertrom" debris field. The next second, the cabin opened, and countless robots with long rectangular bodies and four long arms swarmed out, illuminated by the blue glow of magnetic plasma engines, swarming towards the various pieces of debris, dragging them independently or jointly towards the recovery ship.

Adam: Estimated completion in 144 hours.

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam," remotely controlling the "Worker Bee-1" space collection robots, calculated an initial timeline for the recovery process based on current efficiency samples.

The 4,000-meter-long, bulky recovery ship is sufficient to house all the "Cybertrom" debris fragments.

Before entering space, Chen Fei stored the recovery ship loaded with the Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower and SEG Core Unit into the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, only to release it in space upon finding a suitable spot.

Although storing it in "Spatial Branding" is also viable, keeping it in a Life Space with Time Rules allows bypassing the process of reinserting the Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower, enabling immediate operational readiness.

As soon as the 4,000-meter behemoth appeared, those sovereignties that were persistently messaging Chen Fei instantly fell silent.

"Now they've quieted down."

Miyoshi Xuesen, who was responsible for monitoring these messages, rolled his eyes, knowing this would happen.

Without saying anything, no one would consider you mute. The smaller the sovereignty, the more it wants to attract attention, even if no one cares. They still want to entertain themselves.

The top thirty sovereignties by national power rank didn't send any message at all, seemingly oblivious to Chen Fei's spaceship formation.

In these two days, the number of combat spaceships arriving near the space rift hasn't increased much. Unless it's the strong sovereignties, most don't have the resources to send their spaceships beyond their territories.

"Hahaha, in the end, this world still respects power!"

Upon completing the space collection robot order given by Chen Fei, Louis Landon, who insisted on tagging along, laughed heartily inside the kilometer-long spaceship's command chamber.

He had long seen through the frail bravado of those sovereignties, knowing they could only bark with little bite.

Upon seeing the massive size of the recovery ship, without knowing if it was capable of combat, they had already wet themselves in fear.

Riva, the loyal head of the bodyguard team, was also by Randon's side. Even though the close protection duty was no longer necessary, he still wouldn't leave him. The families of the bodyguard team had long moved into Chen Fei's "Boundary Pearl" Life Space. Now inseparable, their bond built over time was stronger than ever. With no worries, they'd live and die together, making the journey to the Netherworld lively.

"Mouri, has the Joint Defense Committee Headquarters said anything?"

Upon returning to the command chamber, Chen Fei contacted Mouri Misono on Socotra Island.

Directly contacting Chen Fei by the sovereignties wasn't per protocol. The proper procedure was for sovereignties to first contact the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters, and then the Global Joint Defense Committee would contact Chen Fei.

In the matter of administrative affiliation, Chen Fei belonged under the jurisdiction of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee. Thus, those minor sovereignties' private messages were meaningless, and ignoring them was perfectly in line with the rules. If they dared to keep bothering, one missile would suffice to send fireworks for their spaceship to enjoy.

It's merely due to the sudden emergence of a space rift, its crisis unknown, that the sovereignties tolerate Chen Fei's slightly unconventional moves. Otherwise, during normal times, he would surely be taught a lesson.

Mouri Misono replied: "The Council is currently understaffed. The directors are still conspiring, with a few having lost all vitality and spirit, just laying flat."

What an unfortunate situation for the council, how distressing!

During the internal strife of Habulav, many councilors died, and now several have been punished with a diet for snooping into Chen Fei's cards, affecting dozens of unfortunates. The rest are restless, forming cliques, sharpening knives for power struggles, leaving no focus on legitimate matters. The unity within the Blue Star Global Defense Committee has disintegrated, unable to uphold previous functions.

"Mr. Randon, please help me probe into what the internal forces of the American Federation think and plan regarding the space rift."

The American Federation's national power and influence aren't what they used to be, but as the dominator of the North and South American continents, Chen Fei had guessed the First Sovereign's war readiness via orders communicated by his junior, Chen Shan, and other Sky Knights, but knew nothing of other major sovereignties' intentions.

If the Joint Defense Committee Headquarters were functioning normally, Miyoshi Xuesen could have used his connections to uncover those sovereignties' movements, but now it's of no use.

Due to the Habulav internal turmoil, the internal power structures of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee have reshuffled, a situation both beneficial and detrimental. The emergence of the space rift amplifies this detriment exponentially.

Chen Fei's unilateral actions are partly because no one can control him, and partly because he doesn't want to be dragged down by useless teammates.

"No problem, as long as my old friends are still around."

The noble gave an OK hand gesture. Most of his investments have at least broken even, and the resources invested in Chen Fei have the greatest return. No one imagined that the vast assets of Louis Industrial Company would be preserved intact by being transferred into an enormous Life Space, unaffected by the chaos in the American continent and the instability of the Europa continent.

What's preserved isn't just factories, equipment, and laboratories, but also employees and families unwilling to leave. Most people have deepened their ties once again.

"Adam, have the No.2 Command Ship follow behind the recovery ship and keep an eye on the space rift."

Chen Fei issued instructions to the artificial intelligence AI "Adam."

The No.2 Command Ship is the kilometer-long giant spaceship he's currently on. The No.1 Command Ship, loaded with the "planetary-level compute node," was too significant to leave on Socotra Island and was stored in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space.
