Before setting off, Zhou Qing needed to mobilize his own troops.
The threat of the swarm will be dealt with by the space necromancer for now. He needs to go to the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite system on the edge of the Milky Way, to deal with the problem of the Mechanicus.
This operation certainly cannot be handled by just one large warship like the War Moon. Ordinary warships can dock inside the War Pact, after all, it is a large warship the same size as Terra.
It integrates production, living, and various other functional facilities.
In a sense, War Moon is a planet with everything you need!
Although its production capacity cannot compare to that of a regular planet, which can produce all sorts of things, it still possesses some of the corresponding capabilities.
This includes the internal starport used to dock its own escort fleet.
After ending his call with Guilliman, Zhou Xing immediately found Trajan, who was patrolling the edge of the extreme star field with his patrol fleet.
"Trajan has a new mission. You will lead the fleet back to the 108th world of the Misty Starfield. In the Extreme Starfield, you only need to leave two patrol fleets for patrolling!"
Zhou Qing relayed his orders directly to Trajan, and Trajan would not object to Zhou Qing's instructions.
He only replied with two words.
The patrol fleet that was already patrolling the edge of the Extreme Starfield quickly began its return journey after Trajan received the order, passing through the stargate at the very edge of the Extreme Starfield.
In just four days, they successfully reached the core planet of the 108 worlds in the Misty Starfield.
Actually, the 108 worlds of the Misty Starfield are no longer 108 worlds; their true number should be 136 worlds.
However, it is still called the 108 Worlds of the Misty Starfield, because the 108 worlds are the outer defense line of the 28 core worlds of the Misty Starfield.
No matter how much the 108 outer worlds are damaged, as long as the 28 inner worlds are not damaged, the 108 outer worlds can also recover.
This time, Tutura is returning to the planetary union at the very center of the 28 worlds protected by the 108 worlds of the Misty Starfield.
When Trajan arrived above the United planetary orbit with his eight patrol fleets, the War Moon was in its final stages and would be completed in just six more days.
The size of a planet was breathtaking. Even though Trajan had seen them many times, he still gasped when he saw them again.
Just as he had witnessed the power of planetary warships while fighting alongside the undead in space at the edge of the galaxy, Trajan was also thrilled when he looked at the planetary warships on his side.
He could hardly imagine just how powerful the combat capability of this warship would be when it was in action.
However, he was ultimately a member of the Imperial Guard, which meant he possessed strong mental fortitude.
Although the planetary-level warship that was about to be completed amazed him, he still managed to adjust his mindset as the commander of the Imperial Guard.
"You all wait here. The War Commander must have new orders for us to carry out, so take this time to rest well on the warship. I will go find the War Commander myself now."
After saying this to his guards, Trajan boarded a shuttle and headed to the manufacturing center of the planetary shipyard.
Zhou Qing was there.
Chapter 249 Trajan Returns, Seeking the Star God to Burn
Trajan, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, was naturally known to everyone, and no one would stop him. The Iron Man faction allowed him to travel unimpeded to the command center where Zhou Qing was located.
When he arrived at Zhou Qing's side, Zhou Qing already knew that Tula had arrived.
"You did a great job with the Zerg this time. Humanity has gained a new and strong force because of your actions. They will become our best suicide squad, and we can use them from now on."
Zhou Qing didn't even turn his head; his gaze remained fixed on the planetary-sized War Moon warship under construction, which was considered top-tier power in this galaxy.
Tula remained silent, waiting for Zhou Qing's next words, because he knew very well that this war general would not transfer him back simply to praise him.
"The main reason I'm bringing you back this time is because there's a war that needs to be fought, and I will personally command this war. From now on, the Imperial Guards can rest for a while until I issue the order to start the war!"
"The place to rest is on this planetary-level warship that you see right in front of you. I've named it..."
At this point, Zhou Qing paused for a moment before speaking again.
"I'll name this warship Europa 7!"
The opponent was a starfish-like being, and this form reminded Zhou Qing of the starfish that had once attacked a human planet.
Europa 7 is both a tribute to the planet destroyed by a starfish and a reflection of his current stance.
"Yes!" Trajan did not have any objection or dissatisfaction with what Zhou Qing said; he was simply following orders.
The Emperor doesn't need him, the commander of the Imperial Guards, to do anything, so following the War General is what he needs to do most right now. As for other matters, they have nothing to do with him.
After Trajan left, Zhou Qing resumed construction of this planetary warship, which was soon to be completed.
In preparation for the upcoming expedition to the Magellanic Clouds, Zhou Qing made extensive preparations, with a large amount of supplies being continuously sent to the planet's surface.
Meanwhile, to meet the needs of combat, Space Marines entered the interior of this massive planet in droves.
A planetary warship isn't just a warship; it's an entire planet!
If we consider the abstract concept of human settlements used by the human empire, this planetary warship could house at least trillions of people!
This is even a conservative estimate, considering that some things were already achievable in the 2K era, in a certain country, including a city called Hangzhou.
Its population density is 749 people per square kilometer.
Terra once had oceans, and its land only accounted for 29.2% of its total area, 1.49 million square kilometers. Even if we only consider these 1.49 million square kilometers, they could accommodate more than 1000 billion people!
If all 5.1 million square kilometers of land were used to house people, then without a doubt, at least 5000 billion people could be accommodated.
Of course, back in the 2K era, these were just a few cities with large populations and did not have universal applicability, but for interstellar civilizations, they did have universal applicability.
Interstellar civilizations don't need such complicated living conditions. They only need some simple places to produce enough food and a series of facilities, and they can stack them up in layers. With a limit of 500 meters, they can build at least two layers on a planet.
Even if everyone were allowed to occupy their own portion of land and live comfortably, it would be possible to cramm trillions of people onto a single planet!
Planetary warships like the War Moon and Europa 7 actually have access to the lower levels of the surface.
In other words, if Zhou Qing were willing, he could even cram 1.5 trillion people into this place while ensuring the quality of life of the citizens above!
Moreover, with the support of its technology, this population of 1.5 trillion can achieve self-sufficiency!
Of course, this is a rather extreme case. Zhou Qing would never do such a thing. The population of this planet is no more than 200 billion, and the rest are mostly various kinds of equipment and material reserves.
Most importantly, the stargate's inventory of items and accessories is crucial. After all, when traveling to another satellite system, you can't always rely on a warship to traverse the void directly across 16 light-years.
If a stargate could be built there, then there is no doubt that human forces could be quickly mobilized and intervene in the local war.
It would be very difficult for a small war month to directly destroy an interstellar civilization.
However, if they had a stargate as a logistical supply route, coupled with a large amount of supplies and troops from the Human Empire, then without a doubt, they could easily take over the entire Large Magellanic Cloud!
Humanity will gain another resource-producing region outside of the Milky Way, and that region will not be subject to too much invasion and attack from the subspace.
Aside from the lack of a warp lighthouse to guide their navigation in the warp, the rest were not major problems.
Therefore, in Zhou Qing's view, since the Mechanicus Cult has already reached the Large Magellanic Cloud and is also in conflict with the local interstellar civilizations there, it is a serious problem.
Therefore, the human empire should naturally expand its territory and acquire more resources after this.
While you're at it, look for any traces of Star Gods or Ancient Saints, especially Star Gods.
After all, these beings are all pure energy-based. If we can find them and discover that they are an independent race, then humanity will burn them and turn them into a new type of Zelo.
Although Zhou Qing knew that the Space Necromancers must have launched a large-scale attack on the Star Gods, he didn't think that such a race could be completely wiped out by the Space Necromancers.
The universe is so vast that even space undead, though they have indeed achieved speeds far exceeding the speed of light and can travel freely throughout the universe, cannot simply overcome the sheer size of the universe by exceeding the speed of light.
Zhou Qing believed that there must be other treasures in this vast universe. He wanted to find the Star Gods and burn them into Zelos to cultivate a native psionic army!
In addition, he also needs to find these guys and make them the energy core of his engine!
At this moment, although Zhou Qing was building the War Moon, the Star God Energy inside the Necromancer Spaceship kept flashing through his mind.
While Singularity Energy is useful, Star God Energy seems to be more environmentally friendly and convenient, and most importantly, it's cheaper!
Just for the sake of the cheap price, Zhou Qing would try to find them and then seal them up and put them into his own warship to burn as energy!
Chapter 250 Everything's settled, time to set off.
The few days of rest passed in the blink of an eye after the last piece of the War Month was installed and the secondary singularity was placed within it.
The first planetary warship in the history of the human empire began to move, and its interior was already loaded with a large amount of military supplies and warships.
Five patrol fleets entered the core of the warships to dock, with a large amount of supplies stored inside the planetary warships. Warships could also be built in temporary docks and directly deployed to the battlefield.
What is a planetary-level warship?
Unlike the Necromancer's World Engine and other equipment, the planetary warship is also a large warship that integrates production, allowing it to produce warships while fighting.
They can produce everything from ordinary frigates to battleships.
If necessary, he can even start production of Titan-class warships, which can be described as versatile, possessing not only powerful combat capabilities.
It also possesses considerable industrial capabilities.
When the planetary-level warship Europa 7 began to move, even Zhou Qing, a scientist who was used to seeing large warships on the Federation, was genuinely delighted.
Finally, he meant that now there are finally real military-grade warships that can be deployed in combat. Planetary-class warships, despite their large size, are theoretically the most difficult to build. Conversely, among large warships, planetary-class warships are the easiest to construct.
Other warships require a large amount of high-tech equipment, which requires a lot of cutting-edge technology to build. Even with Zhou Qing's assistance and support, the human empire at this time could not produce these things, after all, the foundation was what it was.
However, planetary-level warships are different. Because of their large size, they can naturally fit a lot of equipment into their large area.
Although it is a planetary-level warship roughly the same size as Terra, once completed, it might not be as good as a typical Federation military satellite-class warship with a block size of nine.
But so what?
Regardless, this warship has met the standards of a military-grade warship and can now be considered a true military vessel. Its combat capability has reached the required level.
Having completed the construction of the War Moon, Zhou Qing did not stay in the main control room. Instead, he waved and summoned his two students.
"Karl, Vita, this control room is now in your hands for research. All the technologies here are open to you for study. I will personally lead the human army to achieve greater benefits for humanity."
While Zhou Qing was pleased, he did not forget his two students. Therefore, he made arrangements for them, suggesting that they could study this planetary-level shipyard.
Upon hearing this, Kaul and Vita were overjoyed. This was a planetary-level shipyard! In the entire human empire, only Zhou Qing was capable of building such a thing, and the entire production process was directed by Zhou Qing using artificial intelligence.
The resources poured into this place are astronomical. In order to build this planetary-level shipyard, the 108th world and the 28th world of Zhou Qing's marriage alliance, all the surplus resources and more than half of the resources that the Human Empire's Hazy Starfield needed to store were poured into this place.
This is a top-notch facility that integrates a lot of technology, and it's so exciting that it allows the two of them to conduct research!
Although he was very excited, Kaul suppressed his inner elation.
“Teacher, please allow me to go with you. Rather than staying here to study this planetary shipyard, I would rather go with you, since I really don’t understand these technologies.”
Kaul was well aware of his own abilities and what he was capable of. He also knew that staying here alone to study this planetary shipyard was simply nonsense; he couldn't possibly understand anything about it.
