Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

240: The ”Expeditionary Legion” is formed, with its sights set on the Galactic Heart!The Far Side of the Moon, the “Heavenly Court” Interstellar Spaceport.

This was once humanity’s window to gaze into deep space, but now it has transformed into a boiling steel furnace.

The previously pitch-black and silent space was now illuminated like day by countless high-power spotlights. Innumerable engineering robots, like busy worker ants, climbed up and down the massive hulls, their welding torches spraying blue arcs that wove into a brilliant net of fire in the vacuum.

Looking around, the entire star field was filled with warships.

The most striking sight, naturally, was the Earth Fleet in the central array. Those “Jiuzhou-class” Galaxy Annihilators, jet-black with sharp lines, resembled ancient behemoths lurking in the abyss, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression. Their outer armor was forged from the latest “Keel” alloy, its surface flowing with a faint, ethereal light—a sign that the “Dimensional Defense” force field was operating in standby mode.

Flanking the Earth Fleet was the Winged Human Race Fleet, which possessed a completely different style.

Their warships were elegantly shaped, pure white, with soft lines like giant feathers. But after being magically modified and upgraded by the human heavenly craft system, these ships—once like works of art—now revealed ferocious fangs. The crystalline structures originally used for decoration were replaced with High-Energy Particle Cannons, and the elegant flanks carried Quantum Torpedo Launchers capable of tearing space.

Beauty and violence achieved perfect unity at this moment.

“This is simply a miracle.”

Standing before the large floor-to-ceiling window of the flagship expedition, Winged People Queen Alia watched the overwhelming torrent of steel outside, her voice trembling slightly.

She had personally witnessed the destruction of her own civilization and had seen the despair-inducing, infinite numbers of the cleaner. But now, looking at this Army of Vengeance built jointly by two civilizations, her long-dead heart began to beat wildly again.

“A miracle?”

Lu Chen stood beside her, hands clasped behind divine majesty back, divine majesty gaze fixed deeply on the fleet about to depart. There was no hint of pride on divine majesty face, only a near-ruthless calm.

“No, Alia. This is not a miracle. This is the power of industry, the will to survive.”

He turned to look at the beautiful Queen, divine majesty tone flat yet full of power: “God cannot save us. What can save us is only the sword in our hands.”

“Reporting, Commander Lu!”

Just then, the rough and passionate voice of “War Wolf” came through the communication channel, accompanied by the synchronized footsteps of countless soldiers in the background.

“The Earth Expeditionary Force has assembled! Ten thousand personnel expected, ten thousand present! All warship systems self-checked, energy fill rate one hundred percent! Ready to launch at any moment!”

“Report!” Immediately following was a clear and pleasant female voice carrying resolute killing intent—that of the Winged Human Race Fleet Commander, Alia’s Personal Guard Captain.

“The ‘Holy Light’ Vengeance Corps has assembled! Three thousand warships, three hundred thousand clansmen are ready to sacrifice everything! Please give the order, divine majesty!”

Lu Chen nodded slightly. He straightened the crisp Supreme Commander uniform he was wearing and strode toward the command platform.

As he moved, billions of eyes from the entire fleet, and even the entire Earth Federation, focused on this eighteen-year-old youth via Quantum Live Broadcast Signals.

He was humanity’s Navigator, the Savior of the Winged People, and the sole brain of this Invincible Corps named “expedition.”

“Fellow countrymen, comrades-in-arms.”

Lu Chen’s voice was not loud, nor was it a strained roar, but processed through the heavenly craft’s audio system, it struck every person’s soul like distinct, powerful hammer blows.

“I know that many of you feel fear in your hearts right now.”

“That is normal.”

“The place we are going is the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, a Forbidden Zone of Life, the Black Hole Event Horizon from which not even light can escape. The enemy we face is a Cosmic Disaster that has devoured countless civilizations, a Terrifying Hunter perched at the top of the food chain.”

“By all logic, we should be hiding in our homes, trembling, and praying that they discover us later.”
