Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 94 Star Base Completion, Visitors from Another World_2
 

Drifting clouds filled the sky, radiating a warm and gentle glow.

Is this the Star Base?

“This is an ecological sphere with a radius of one hundred thousand meters, located in the million-degree layer of the Star Base, maintaining its operations by absorbing the surrounding energy,”

Li Xiao stood beside the teleportation array formation, explaining as he saw Jiang Chen’s astonished expression.

“Some of the middle and high ranking mechas are a bit larger, so a base that’s too small might not be able to accommodate them.”

“That’s why I made the base a bit bigger, to save you the trouble of having to remodel it soon.”

An ecological sphere with a radius of a hundred kilometers, and that’s a bit bigger?

Even if one were driving at a speed of a hundred kilometers per hour, it would take two hours to cross from one end to the other!

Even when compared to the volume of a star, this size might not seem like much.

But for Jiang Chen to live alone in such a vast ecological sphere, isn’t that too empty?

And that’s not all.

Li Xiao had Jiang Chen reactivate the teleportation array formation, and immediately, a three-dimensional graphic appeared.

This three-dimensional graphic looked like several neatly arranged circles, and the location where Jiang Chen was positioned was just one of them.

Li Xiao tapped on one of the spherical shapes next to him and explained.

“I have constructed ten ecological spheres in total, each with the same size, dividing them into ten different areas.”

“The area we are in is the [Jungle Residential Area].”

“You can live here normally, and during your leisure time, you can take a walk or picnic in the jungle, where there are several friendly animals to relax with.”

“Next to it is the [Star Amusement District], where, in addition to some amusement facilities, the array absorbs and transforms star energy to create a multitude of star hot springs.”

“Of course, as a Physique Enhancement type mecha pilot, if needed, you can also make use of the array to create fluid star baths, available in all temperatures. Just be careful not to set it too high.”

“This is the [Star Mecha Strengthening Field], also absorbing star energy and materializing it to create an enhancement area filled with star energy.”

“It’s suitable for special kinds of mechas, providing a considerable enhancement environment.”

“There’s also the [Low Rank Universal Strengthening Field] that uses star energy in conjunction with special resources, transformed into an environment suitable for enhancement…”

“This is the [Mecha Weapons Testing Area]…”

The illusory spheres magnified and shrank, passing by various scenes, as Li Xiao continued his explanation.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

“Boss, is this the base you built in less than two days?”

“Not entirely.”

Hearing this, Li Xiao replied with a smile.

“The energy inside the Star Base is extremely abundant. Many high rank mecha pilots have established bases and strengthening fields here in the past.”

“However, as they advanced in ranks and their mechas progressed, they found more suitable strengthening fields.”

“As a result, many Star Bases were abandoned and fell into disuse with extremely low utilization rates.”

“I traded for a part of these bases and reshaped them into ecological spheres, plus added some extra touches…”

“So it was done relatively quickly.”

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding.

A man-made island base built in half a day, with the foundation already in place, was not surprising.

But the construction of ten such Star Base ecological spheres, each with a radius of one hundred thousand meters, in one or two days, would be too exaggerated!

If they were transformations of existing Star Bases, then it would make sense.

Li Xiao added another detail.

“Ah, right, I also built a Star Base for myself before, not far from here.”

“If you need anything, you can directly teleport to find me.”

“I’ve already entered the coordinates and permissions into your teleportation array,”

So it’s like dropping by for a visit?

The Symbol of the Alliance is my neighbor?

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh for a moment.

Speaking of which, the area illusions he had just seen through the magic hologram, along with the outer structure of the ecological sphere, seemed to involve a lot of magic runes.

There were also the Symbol of the Alliance’s rune mechas, the identification magic used, the alliance’s teleportation array…

Almost everything applied was the magical power of the Enigmatism side.

It almost formed a special magic system!

Is the alliance this deeply invested in magic research?

Jiang Chen didn’t hide his curiosity and directly asked the Symbol of the Alliance beside him.

Li Xiao answered frankly.

“During a transcendental realm trial, I had a fortunate encounter and obtained some Magic Impartation, which also helped me perfect my own mecha system.”

“Now that you are strong enough, you can try and explore more during your transcendental realm trials…”

“The gains you get from it may not necessarily be less than the highest level settlement reward.”

The Symbol of the Alliance was able to reach today’s extent not only because of his innate talent.

He had also experienced some special and unusual encounters.

Jiang Chen nodded when he heard the experiences shared by the elder, deeply agreeing.

If back then, in the Steam World, he had possessed the attributes and strength he has now…

He wouldn’t speak of defeating that terrifying ancient god of the old days, but at the very least, he wouldn’t be confined to a corner by the seaside; instead, he could have saved more people, explored more places.

At this time, Li Xiao also asked.

“When do you plan to advance?”

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and responded.

“I plan to clear a hundred or two hundred Abyss Level 1 trials first, then consider the matter of advancing…”

“At least, I’d have to grind it out for four or five days later.”

“Why, does the big shot have something in mind?”

“…”

Four to five days to clear a hundred or two hundred abyss trials?

How long do you plan to take per trial? Ten minutes or twenty minutes?

Li Xiao was momentarily silent.

As the Symbol of the Alliance who suppressed Planet Blue Star, watching Jiang Chen, only two words came to his mind.

Monster.

Fortunately, even if he’s a monster, he’s a monster that belongs to Planet Blue Star.

Li Xiao composed himself and then spoke.

“After you’re prepared, remember to tell me, and we’ll start the advancement trials together.”

Even without Li Xiao’s explanation, Jiang Chen understood the reason.

The advancement trial would take ten days.

During this period, time on Planet Blue Star would not stand still, but would continue to pass in sync.

Li Xiao worried that while he was undergoing the advancement trial and away from Planet Blue Star, Jiang Chen might encounter some danger…

If they both undertook the trial at the same time and returned together, they could avoid this problem.

Moving and sheltering…

Such a sense of security was indeed maxed out.

Jiang Chen reflected inwardly, nodding happily.

“Great!”

…

Just as Jiang Chen was exchanging ideas with Li Xiao, preparing to begin the sublimation work on the steam mecha.

Planet Blue Star, Gold Tower City.

At the top of the landmark tower, a dark crack suddenly opened.

Like every mecha pilot returning, this abyss crack avoided the scans of Xuntian City and wasn’t isolated outside.

A streamlined red mecha fell out of the crack, landing on the top of the tower.

“Twenty years have gone by, and I never thought that the world that experienced the [Alien Demon Invasion], has also successfully crossed the abyss, kindling the fire of civilization…”

“Hmm? Mirror World?”

“Sealing the alien demon in a special space, conducting the fight beyond the mirror to prevent any impact on the development of the present world, huh?”

“That’s quite a clever approach.”

The red mecha’s lenses swept over and immediately detected the anomaly of the space.

The pilot inside the mecha couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration.

Compared to the methods of Mirror Space, he admired this practice more.

It meant that the civilization was in a state of order, caring for and protecting the safety of its weaker members, thereby forming a positive trend of development.

Only in such a condition could the fire of civilization burn brighter and eventually foster a true bearer of hope.

In many worlds that subscribe to the “law of the jungle”…

The first group of mecha pilots who rose to power monopolized the world, centralizing all resources upon themselves.

It might seem like they could grow stronger, but in reality, they were snuffing out the last embers of civilization.

Facing the shackles of civilization and the growing claws of the abyss.

They were almost destined to perish—

And even if there were exceptions and they crossed the abyss, the orderly civilizations would not welcome these “predators.”

No one wants their future to be one of exploitation and plunder.

At this time, the red mecha leaped off the tower and approached a passerby; the faceplate automatically opened, revealing a young face.

He spoke with a smile.

“Hello, could you tell me who the bearer of hope here is?”
