At that moment.
Da Bai suddenly alerted Xu Zhengyang, "Master, the Blood Plague swarm has surrounded the escape pod and is bringing it back!"
"There's no other way!"
Xu Zhengyang said, immediately maneuvering the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha to land at the center of the Blood Plague swarm's return path.
The next moment.
Xu Zhengyang's Dimensional Space Pocket opened wide!
His mechanical army poured out, quickly constructing a steel defense line on the swarm's return path! The Blood Plague swarm had already detected Xu Zhengyang.
So, as soon as Xu Zhengyang's defense line was established.
Those creatures, resembling scorpions but with tails akin to cannon barrels, aimed at Xu Zhengyang's mechanical army and fired globs of dark green mucus!
Caught off guard.
The largest rhino-style unmanned tanks at the forefront of Xu Zhengyang's forces were hit by the dark green mucus.
Immediately after.
A piercing "sizzling" sound and a thick, acrid smoke rose from the rhino-style unmanned tanks.
The armor of Xu Zhengyang's rhino-style unmanned tanks was corroded into a large pit within mere seconds! Some of the rhino unmanned tanks were unlucky, with the mucus landing directly on their control hubs, causing Xu Zhengyang to lose control of them on the spot!
"Strong acid?"
Xu Zhengyang instantly realized what was happening.
He hadn't expected the Blood Plague mother entity to come up with so many new tricks.
Not only had it spawned Blood Plague worms to steal his home, but it had also created giant beetles and these monsters that could shoot strong acid as projectiles!
"Interesting!"
Xu Zhengyang said, then maneuvered his mechanical army to take cover behind the damaged rhino tanks.
He himself quickly released a magnetic rod mother-son drone group from his Dimensional Space Pocket.
A few seconds later.
With a series of soaring flames, the small swarm that had come to search for the escape pod was engulfed in the fire! Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang sneered coldly.
Just as he was about to maneuver the T-800 combat robots to finish the job and retrieve the escape pod.
Suddenly!
Clusters of black shadows emerged from the smoke, charging towards Xu Zhengyang like wild horses!
Xu Zhengyang focused his gaze.
These black shadows were none other than those giant beetles, each seven to eight meters long! Although the acid-spitting monsters had been completely annihilated by Xu Zhengyang, they had caused no substantial damage to these giant beetles.
Their carapaces shimmered with a metallic sheen, not just for show! Because of this.
The earlier explosion had only left them a bit dusty, unable to cause any fatal damage! As these black beetles were about to crash into Xu Zhengyang's mechanical defense line!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…"
Xu Zhengyang immediately maneuvered the rhino unmanned tanks equipped with armor-piercing shells to target the giant beetles!
Armor-piercing shells are a type of special ammunition.
They transfer the energy of the explosive directly into the surface of steel armored vehicles in the form of impulse.
This creates stress waves inside the steel armor plate, causing a "spalling effect" on the back of the armor plate.
Then, the fragments spalled off from inside the armor plate are used to inflict damage and destruction inside the armored vehicle with great kinetic energy!
This Blood Plague nest had specifically evolved these giant insects clad in metal carapaces, looking formidable.
But after a volley from the rhino tanks equipped with armor-piercing shells.
The innards of the heavily armored giant insects at the front were torn to shreds by their own carapace fragments! Immediately after.
The heavily armored giant insects lost their strength, "thudding" to the ground, and with their momentum, they slid forward a distance, stirring up a cloud of dust!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…"
Xu Zhengyang took advantage of the situation to strike the drowning dog!
Round after round of armor-piercing shells were fired at the other heavily armored giant insects!
In less than a minute.
The once fierce and domineering heavily armored giant insects all fell dead, with not a single survivor! At that moment.
Da Bai suddenly sent an urgent video to Xu Zhengyang's smart glasses, urgently saying, "Master, master! That medium-sized Blood Plague nest has suddenly swarmed out towards us!"
In the video.
Besides the two types of insects Xu Zhengyang had seen before, there were four or five other types of monsters that Xu Zhengyang hadn't seen but looked formidable!
Not only that.
There were even three types of flying units within the swarm! Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang made a decisive decision! He left the power-damaged rhino unmanned tanks to cover the rear, while he instantly recalled the rest of his mechanical troops into the Dimensional Space Pocket.
Not a single mistake, not a single shot, not a single content was left in the 69 book bar to see!
Then Xu Zhengyang immediately rushed to the location of the swarm.
After taking the escape pod with him, he immediately drove the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha in FPV drone mode and left the area!…
*Back at the shelter.
Xu Zhengyang couldn't wait to take out the escape pod he had retrieved from the Dimensional Space Pocket.
The escape pod was shaped like a shuttle, twelve meters long and six meters at its widest point.
As soon as Xu Zhengyang took it out from the Dimensional Space Pocket, a white light instantly enveloped it.
Immediately after.
A series of system subtitles appeared before Xu Zhengyang's eyes: [Emergency Mission: Extraterrestrial Visitor (Completed)]
[Reward Obtained: Cold Fusion Reactor]
Seeing the system prompt, Xu Zhengyang was momentarily stunned, then immediately opened his Dimensional Space Pocket.
Sure enough!
Inside the Dimensional Space Pocket appeared a metal ring with an outer diameter of 8 meters, an inner diameter of 6.5 meters, and a thickness of 6.5 meters!
This cold fusion reactor had been dismantled by the system from the escape pod before him, with a faint blue light flickering intermittently in the center of the ring.
At first sight of this thing.
Xu Zhengyang's heart couldn't help but race with excitement, "With this, I can start building a full-fledged aerospace carrier!"
At that moment.
Xu Zhengyang had a sudden thought, "What if I modify the specifications of the aerospace carrier and build the shelter inside it?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xu Zhengyang found the idea more and more feasible!
After all, he had the Four-Dimensional Rubik's Cube, a god-like plugin for the shelter, allowing him to ignore the process of dismantling and rebuilding no matter how he modified the shelter.
Xu Zhengyang had just completed the fifth phase of the shelter's expansion project.
Now, there was a 50,000 square meters of empty space in the shelter, perfect for the initial production workshop! Thinking of this.
Xu Zhengyang was filled with excitement!
If the shelter was built inside the aerospace carrier, not only would there be no need to worry about attacks from underground in the future.
Even if a world-ending asteroid hit the Earth, causing earthquakes, great floods, or other geological disasters.
Xu Zhengyang could still rest easy, unaffected by any of it!
