110: Chapter 110: Full Fleet Capacity! Total Fleet Size Exceeds 300!
Emperor Chen Fan gave the order, and the Dawn Faction's ultimate expansion plan, spanning the Dead Zone's three resource planets, seven military industrial bases, and twelve mecha foundries, was fully launched!
Inside the Judgment Hall of Dead Zone Habitable Planet No. 7, the aura of battle had not yet dissipated, and the dome star map had already switched to a real-time view of the entire military production line—Brilliant Crystal Ore Planet's high-energy power was being continuously transported, Flame Iron Planet's super-alloy plates were rolling off the line by the tens of thousands of tons, Blue Marrow Planet's spatial navigation chips were being produced day and night, and the Grey Race engineering fleet shuttled between bases, pushing the entire star-sector-level military industrial chain to an unprecedented peak of operation.
Xing Xi's independent personality and super-computing power after her awakening became the core brain of the expansion plan. Her holographic projection filled the entire command system, processing billions of data points every second, scheduling resources, allocating production capacity, monitoring progress, and optimizing processes, pushing efficiency to its theoretical limit.
"Commander, the full-domain expansion sequence has been activated at full speed, and real-time data is synchronizing."
Xing Xi's voice was clear and spirited, carrying the precision and fanaticism unique to a top-tier AI.
Emperor Chen Fan sat in the commander's seat, his fingertips tapping lightly on the armrest, his gaze calmly watching everything before him.
What he wanted was not temporary expansion, but absolute crushing military power—three hundred main battleships, ten thousand Dawn Mecha, five hundred thousand Ground Legion troops, five hundred Shadow Fleet stealth ships... The day this force took shape would be the day the Federation and the Free Star Alliance would have no power to resist.
And at this moment, he still had one thing to do: hide his edge, conceal his strength, and leave a glimmer of false hope for the enemy.
I. Military Industrial Frenzy! The Star Sector Manufacturing Machine That Never Sleeps
The Dead Zone Central Military Industrial Base, this super shipyard built by the Dawn Faction with all its resources, had now become the most dazzling existence in the entire starry sky.
Inside the base's hundred-kilometer-long space dock, mechanical arms stood like a forest, laser cutters carved out azure beams, Flame Iron super-alloys were precisely forged into battleship armor, high-energy Brilliant Crystal engines were embedded into the ship hulls, and the skeletons of Dawn-class main battleships were taking shape, closing, being painted, and being commissioned at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Commander Lei Meng, clad in gilded commander armor, stood guard at the dock command center day and night, his eyes fixed on the constantly increasing number of battleships on the slipway, his whole body trembling with excitement.
"Faster! Even faster!"
"The Commander wants three hundred main battleships, and we must finish ahead of schedule!"
"Every battleship must be equipped with the Star Alliance's latest engine technology, main gun power maxed out, shield strength maxed out!"
The Grey Race engineer in charge of supervision responded loudly: "General Lei Meng! The production line is running at full capacity. One main battleship is launched every twelve hours, one heavy aircraft carrier every eight hours, and one Star Destroyer every three hours! The production capacity has reached the limit of the star sector!"
Commander Lei Meng laughed heartily and slammed his fist on the command console: "Limit? In Dawn, there are no limits! Open a third and fourth production line for me. Chief Ayla has already guaranteed unlimited resource supply. We are going to let the whole universe see what Dawn speed is!"
At the same time, inside the Dawn Mecha foundry.
Commander Ling Shuang, dressed in a silver-white mecha commander uniform, stood in the center of the mecha phalanx, her cold gaze sweeping over the rows of Dawn Mecha being assembled.
The mecha production line was like a torrent of steel, with mechanical arms precisely installing particle cannons, energy cores, and neural connection systems. The manufacturing task of ten thousand mecha was progressing steadily.
"The mecha armor uses Flame Iron super-alloy, increasing defensive strength by fifty percent; the particle main guns are loaded with Brilliant Crystal energy, increasing attack power by sixty percent; the global radar is linked to the Xing Xi system, ensuring no blind spots in battlefield perception." Commander Ling Shuang's voice was calm and majestic, "All mecha must reach peak combat capability and become Dawn's sharpest blade."
Rows of Dawn Mecha were neatly commissioned, their metallic bodies reflecting a cold light, and the Dawn emblem on the mecha arms shone brightly. Five thousand old-model mecha and five thousand new-model mecha merged; the ten-thousand-unit Mecha Legion had already taken shape.
On the ground, Old Hu's Ground Legion was expanding even more rapidly.
The three hundred thousand surrendered Federation soldiers, after ideological reorganization and iron-blooded training, completely abandoned their old masters and pledged loyalty to Dawn; Dead Zone natives, liberated miners, and powerhouses exiled in the star sector joined the ranks one after another, and the Ground Legion expanded to five hundred thousand elites.
Heavy assault mecha, ground tank clusters, energy fortresses, and anti-aircraft systems were fully commissioned. The five hundred thousand-strong army, like a wall of steel, firmly guarded every inch of Dawn's territory. Old Hu stood on the training ground, his voice shaking the heavens:
"An inch of land, an inch of Dawn! From today on, you are no longer the Federation's cannon fodder, but Dawn's warriors! Anyone who dares to invade our territory shall be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers roared in unison, the sound wave rushing to the sky:
"Dawn will win! Long live the Commander!"
The expansion of the Shadow Fleet was even more covert.
Commander Ling Ye led two hundred original stealth ships, plus the newly added three hundred top-tier Grey Race stealth assault ships, forming a five-hundred-ship Shadow Fleet, completely hidden in the spatial turbulence and asteroid belts on the edge of the Dead Zone, like the deadliest ghosts in the universe.
They did not participate in flashy displays, only responsible for decapitation strikes, infiltration, reconnaissance, and lurking, becoming the ultimate trump card hidden in the dark by Dawn, keeping a close eye on every one of Marshal Arthuron's secret bases and every military movement of the Free Star Alliance.
Commander Su Qingyue sat in the Research Center, perfectly integrating the core technology of the Free Star Alliance with Dawn's existing technology. Shipborne engines, mecha armor, jump algorithms, and jamming systems were fully upgraded, firmly holding the battlefield information superiority in their hands.
Ayla led the entire Grey Race to control every mineral vein on the three resource planets. The daily production of Brilliant Crystal, Flame Iron, and Blue Marrow increased tenfold, and the mountains of strategic resources supported the entire expansion plan so it would never stop.
II. Hiding the Edge and Feigning Weakness! Leaving the Enemy a Glimmer of False Hope
The expansion plan was in full swing, but Emperor Chen Fan issued an order that surprised all his generals:
Block all news of the military expansion to the outside world, only announce the original combat strength, and hide all newly added battleships, mecha, and legions; nothing must be exposed.
Commander Lei Meng was the first to be puzzled: "Commander, our combat power has skyrocketed, why not announce it to the world? It would scare Marshal Arthuron and the Free Star Alliance to death!"
Emperor Chen Fan smiled faintly, his gaze cast on the image of the Federation capital planet on the dome star map:
"Showing all our strength now would only make Marshal Arthuron retreat completely, make the Free Star Alliance wary, or even tear up the alliance treaty in advance."
"We must hide our edge."
"Let Marshal Arthuron think that his trump cards can still put up a fight; let the Free Star Alliance think that we still need to rely on them to contain the Federation; let all the forces watching think that the star sector landscape has not yet been finalized."
"Only by letting the enemy harbor hope will they reveal their flaws and take the initiative to walk into the dead end we have laid out."
One sentence awakened everyone.
Commander Ling Ye nodded slightly: "The Commander is brilliant. The more Marshal Arthuron thinks he has a chance of winning, the sooner he will use his ultimate trump card, and we can wipe them out in one go; the more the Free Star Alliance thinks we cannot do without them, the more they will exhaust the Federation, and we will reap the benefits."
Commander Su Qingyue immediately executed the order: "Xing Xi, fully block combat power information. Externally, only show the original one hundred and fifty main battleships and five thousand mecha, and fabricate the illusion of resource shortages and insufficient production capacity to confuse the Federation and the Free Star Alliance."
"Understood!"
Xing Xi instantly tampered with the global external data, completely hiding Dawn's surging military power.
Thus, a carefully planned "feigning of weakness" was presented to the entire star sector.
Federation Capital Planet, Marshals Mansion.
Marshal Arthuron looked at the Dawn military power report sent by the intelligence officer, and a sinister smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.
"Hahaha! I thought Emperor Chen Fan was how powerful; it turns out that after occupying three resource planets, he still only has one hundred and fifty main battleships! Resource development efficiency is low, military production capacity is stagnant, and there is no expansion at all!"
The intelligence officer bowed and said: "Marshal, the intelligence is true! The Dawn Faction has insufficient resource reserves, and there are even supply shortages internally. The combat power has not improved at all!"
Marshal Arthuron slammed the table, madness surging in his eyes: "Heaven does not want to destroy me! Little Chen Fan, you are still too young! You think you can beat me by forming an alliance with the Star Alliance and occupying resource planets? You don't understand what star sector war is at all!"
"My Deep Space Annihilation Cannon, bio-war god mecha, and Interstellar Devouring Beast are all ready! The secret fleet has also assembled!"
"Wait another ten days, after I finish the final adjustments, I will personally lead the army, flatten the Dead Zone, take back the resource planets, and smash you, Emperor Chen Fan, into ten thousand pieces!"
He thought Dawn was weak and vulnerable, and that his trump cards were enough to turn the tide, but he did not know that all of this was the false hope given to him by Emperor Chen Fan.
And on the Free Star Alliance side, Diplomatic Chief Luo Lan also breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the intelligence, and the abacus in his heart ticked louder:
"Dawn's combat power has not skyrocketed, and they still need to rely on our Star Alliance. After the Federation is destroyed, our Star Alliance, with its century-old foundation, can still suppress Dawn and eventually dominate the star sector alone!"
How could he know that Dawn's three hundred main battleships were already about to be built; the ten thousand mecha were already commissioned and ready; and the five hundred thousand-strong army was already sharpening their swords.
The "weak ally" in their eyes had long since become the master of the starry sky who could overturn the entire chessboard with one keystroke.
III. Historic Moment! Total Fleet Count Exceeds 300!
Three months passed in a flash.
On this day, at the Dead Zone Central Military Industrial Base, the last Dawn-class main battleship was slowly launched, the hull was painted, the engines were ignited, the dark purple energy shield was fully opened, cutting through space and sailing into the Main Fleet array.
Xing Xi's voice, filled with unprecedented excitement and honor, resounded throughout the Dead Zone:
"Commander! Report to the Commander! Dawn Main Fleet construction complete! Total count—301 ships! Task exceeded!"
"Dawn Mecha Legion, 10,200 units, all commissioned and ready!"
"Shadow Stealth Fleet, 500 ships, all lurking and waiting for orders!"
"Ground Legion, 500,000 elites, fully staffed and ready for battle!"
"Production capacity of the three resource planets is stable, and strategic resource reserves have reached the peak of the star sector!"
Boom—!!
Inside the Judgment Hall of Dead Zone Habitable Planet No. 7, everyone instantly boiled over!
Commander Lei Meng stood up from his seat in excitement, his gilded armor trembling, and laughed wildly: "300 ships! A full 300 main battleships! I've never seen such a terrifying torrent of steel in my life! Marshal Arthuron, Free Star Alliance, what do you have to fight us with!"
Commander Ling Ye's body was surging with shadows, and for the first time, such an obvious smile appeared on his cold face: "The Shadow Fleet can decapitate the entire command center at any time, break through points, and no one can stop us!"
Old Hu pounded his chest and roared, his voice like thunder: "Five hundred thousand Ground Legion troops, ready to land on any planet at any time. An inch of land, an inch of Dawn! We want to plant the Dawn flag all over the star sector!"
Commander Ling Shuang's mecha shimmered violently: "Ten thousand Dawn Mecha, patrolling the entire domain, invincible and victorious!"
Commander Su Qingyue's cold voice was filled with excitement: "The Research Center provides full coverage for battlefield scanning, energy interference, and mothership support. Dawn has absolute information superiority!"
Ayla bowed, the glory of the entire Grey Race condensed on her body: "Resource inventory, mineral vein sealing, and logistics support are all in place. If we fight, we can win; if we win, we can defend!"
The six great generals knelt on one knee together, paying the highest commander salute to Emperor Chen Fan, their voices shattering the dome:
"We obey the Commander's orders! Dawn's peak combat power is complete. Please order, Commander, to sweep across the star sector, destroy the Federation, and unify the heavens!"
Emperor Chen Fan slowly stood up, his posture as straight as a spear, his gaze piercing through the starry sky, looking at the Federation capital planet, looking at the Free Star Alliance territory, and looking at the entire unknown sea of stars.
His voice, calm, majestic, and heavy, carried the supreme dominance of one word deciding the fate of the world:
"Three hundred main battleships, arrayed in the Dead Zone!
Ten thousand Dawn Mecha, patrolling the entire domain!
Five hundred thousand Ground Legion troops, ready for battle!
Five hundred Shadow Fleet ships, lurking and waiting for orders!"
"From today on, the Dawn Faction has no rivals!"
"Marshal Arthuron's last stand and the Free Star Alliance's wolfish ambition will all turn into cosmic dust in the face of absolute power!"
"Hiding the edge for three months, just to draw the sword today!
Building strength for a hundred days, just to settle the world in one go!"
Above the dome star map, the red dots of 300 main battleships filled the starry sky, 10,000 Dawn Mecha formed a steel sky curtain, the coordinates of the 500,000 Ground Legion troops covered the entire territory, and the 500 Shadow Fleet ships were hidden in the shadows.
This was the most terrifying, most peak, most invincible military force since the birth of the star sector!
No force could resist it!
Xing Xi's holographic figure floated to Emperor Chen Fan's side, her awakened personality full of reverence: "Commander, the full-domain military power has reached its peak. Shall we reveal our true combat strength to Marshal Arthuron and the Free Star Alliance?"
Emperor Chen Fan raised the corner of his mouth and ordered calmly:
"No need."
"Continue to hide our strength, wait for Marshal Arthuron to take the initiative to launch a counterattack, and wait for him to throw out all his trump cards."
"What we want is not deterrence, but a complete end."
"In addition, pass the order down to start the final program for the Grey Fire Planet transformation."
"Ten days later, the Grey Fire Planet transformation will be completed, and it will be officially crowned as the mother planet of the Dawn Empire!"
One sentence stirred up a huge wave again!
Grey Fire Planet was the most core, most habitable, and most vast super planet in the Dead Zone. After three months of transformation, it was about to become Dawn's imperial capital, the core of the star sector, and the supreme center of power!
Commander Lei Meng's voice trembled with excitement: "Imperial mother planet... We, Dawn, are going to establish a real star sector empire!"
Commander Ling Ye said coldly: "The day the empire is born is the day the Federation is destroyed."
Old Hu roared: "Congratulations to the Commander on his ascension! Congratulations to the Dawn Empire!"
Everyone knelt down again, and the shouting resounded through the starry sky:
"Long live the Commander! Long live the Dawn Empire!"
IV. Undercurrents Surging! Marshal Arthuron's Final Madness
And at this moment on the Federation Capital Planet, Marshal Arthuron knew nothing about this.
He looked at the still "weak" Dawn Faction, looked at the Free Star Alliance fully blocking the borders, and the madness in his eyes had reached its peak.
"Ready... everything is ready!"
"Deep Space Annihilation Cannon, fully charged!"
"Bio-war god mecha legion, assembly complete!"
"Interstellar Devouring Beast, domestication complete!"
"Secret Main Fleet, 200 ships, all waiting for orders!"
Marshal Arthuron, wearing a black marshal's battle robe and holding a black encrypted token, stood at the highest point of the Marshals Mansion, looking towards the Dead Zone, letting out hysterical wild laughter:
"Emperor Chen Fan! You think you won?"
"Today, I will let you know what the Federation's ultimate power is!"
"Tomorrow, I will personally lead the army to launch a general offensive!"
"Dead Zone Habitable Planet No. 7, Brilliant Crystal Ore Planet, Blue Marrow Planet, Flame Iron Planet... I will take them all back!"
"You, and your Dawn Faction, will all turn into cosmic dust!"
He did not know that every word he said, every deployment, and every trump card was monitored by Xing Xi throughout the entire process and clearly projected on the holographic screen in front of Emperor Chen Fan.
Emperor Chen Fan looked at the crazed Marshal Arthuron on the screen, his eyes indifferent as water.
"Tomorrow, is it?"
"Just right."
"Tomorrow, I will be at the Grey Fire Planet imperial capital, waiting for you to come and die."
300 main battleships were already ready to go,
10,000 mecha were already unsheathed,
500,000 troops were already waiting for the order,
The Shadow Fleet had already locked onto the decapitation target.
Dawn's peak combat power was fully maxed out.
The Federation's doomsday was about to arrive.
The star sector's new empire was about to be born.
