As the surging energy was injected into the acceleration system, the ancient giant orbital compartment began to move towards the Sky Space Station located on the orbit. The orbital compartment was equipped with 120 engineers and the first batch of twenty-two sets of "maternal star barrier broadcast components". Thanks to the amazing technology of the Settler, these cargoes will be transported to space smoothly within a few hours and will be installed at several reserved points near the traffic cabin in the next few days. In a week, they will be tested without accessing the neural network.

Between the stars, the ancient Cangqiu Station is floating quietly in the dark space. The towering orbital elevator extends from the planet's surface to the inner ring of the space station. The traffic section connected to the orbital elevator is brightly lit. The engineering troops led by Nicholas have now successfully restarted about one-tenth of the energy group of the entire space station. These constantly "awakening" systems have awakened the rest of the space station one after another. A wave of awakening is spreading inside the Cangqiu Station. Almost every day, new lights are lit up at the far end ring of the Cangqiu Station.

Against the backdrop of vast space, these lights extending in the dark are like the Great Wall of Lights surrounding the planet.

At the inner edge of a ring belt near the traffic cabin, the dazzling sparks lit up space. The flashing particle jets and the lights on the nearby bulkheads complement each other. A construction machine with a strange structure is tightly entangled with its limbs that look like wrists and feet, and welded on the outer wall of the space station with its front-end-like structure. On the "head" of the construction machine, you can see a "ball shell" made of high-strength transparent polymer. Cassandra, wearing a deep space work suit, was sitting inside. She held the joystick in her hand and was nervously paying attention to the progress of the construction machine.

After a while, the welding flame gradually faded. Cassandra breathed a little relieved in the operating cabin and opened the communication system next to her: "My welding is over. The external fixed frame has been connected to the designated position. Who can check it?"

After a while, Cassandra in the cockpit saw the nearby gate open, and the Iron Man Commander Alice floated out from it. The lady, who was made of precision machinery, was wearing only regular clothes and no protective equipment. However, the magic mechanism in her body stretched out a shining shield, which shone in space, resisting the ubiquitous high-energy rays in the universe. Apart from this layer of shield, Alice did not need any survival system.

"Sometimes I envy you very much," Cassandra couldn't help but say in the communicator as Miss Alice activated the magnetism of her feet and moved closer to the welding point. "You can hold up a shield and move directly in space. We Siren also have to rely on protective suits, or they will freeze directly in space and turn into a fog of ice..."

"Iron Man was born to perform missions in harsh environments," Alice did not open her mouth, but her voice rang directly in Cassandra's cockpit. "Our group has accepted His Royal Highness Ophelia's special transformation. The enchanted bionic skin and internal constant thermometer are enough to cope with extreme temperatures in space - but compared with the space engineering machinery you are using now, this is not very advanced technology."

"Ha, thank you for your praise - I didn't expect that I would sit like this one day to perform the out-of-cabin welding task again," Kassandra laughed, patted the dashboard in front of her, and then carefully checked the places I had photographed, and said angrily, "These things are all saved up with old antiques in the warehouse. Although the key parts have been replaced and modified with new technology, their working status is incomparable to what I remember."

Siren used to be an interstellar civilization that mastered the technology of giant starship manufacturing. Although they eventually ran aground on this primitive and wild planet, Anta Vien's ancient database and Gnakuri still retain the ancient afterglow of this powerful civilization. In order to perform the repair mission of the Sky Station, Siren took out all the good things in the box, including space operation equipment that has been covered with hundreds of thousands of years, such as the protective suits on Cassandra, and the small engineering machine she is operating called the "deep space fish"...

Of course, this is a redesigned product after localization based on the environment of this universe and using "magic technology". Due to the hasty design, its performance is not as good as that in Cassandra's memory - the original "Deep Space Fish" was designed to maintain Anta Vien's ecological dome and has combat capabilities. It clings to the starship shell with its wrist foot. Its powerful welding nozzle can perform the maintenance of the armor plate, and can also act as a beam turret to intercept meteorites after overloading. This... is obviously not possible in front of you.

Not to mention using beam turrets to intercept meteorites and small hostile spacecraft, its wrist foot even gets stuck on itself from time to time, and the sensor efficiency is also outrageous, so after the welding operation is completed, auxiliary personnel need to conduct visual acceptance from outside the cabin...

"It's better than nothing," Alice's voice came from the communicator, waking Cassandra from those long-standing vague memories. "Think about it, just a few years ago, weren't you still troubled the most basic energy problems? And now you can return to your familiar position again, manipulating such machinery to perform space welding tasks - I think this is quite amazing."

"...You have learned to comfort people, Miss Alice," Cassandra looked at the Iron Man Commander who was checking the welding point at the front end of the construction machinery, "I remember when you first came, you only knew about the two things: 'mission' and 'instructions'..."

"I installed more advanced emotional simulation and learning modules to adapt to the situation of cooperating with alien races in the process of performing tasks," Alice explained sternly. "In addition, as the first...correction, as the second Iron Man running independently from the Iron Man network, my activity record will become an important reference for subsequent model improvements and upgrades, so His Highness Ophelia has opened many permissions for me, which allows my mind to grow like Diana."

"...The Queen said that every civilization has its own technology to be proud of, and I think the core of your mind in your belly is amazing." Cassandra sighed sincerely, then raised her head and looked at the scenery in the distance.

Against the background of a vast starry sky, she saw that the inner side of the ring belt of the Cangqiu Station extended infinitely into the distance like a slightly upward steel land. The silver-gray steel was shining with a cold and hard texture. The lights were dotted on both sides of the steel land, as if they were looking into the sea of ​​stars. Between the lights, steel and the background of the starry sky, she could see four or five shining lights, the lights flashed brightly and shining brightly in the inner ring of the space station.

That was the other working group that was performing welding operations, her deep-sea sisters, as well as dragons and Iron Man friends.

Every place with twinkling light means a "mount point", and every "mount point" means a "broadcasting device". Now orbital lifts are sending the first batch of engineering components and the engineering personnel coming to support into space. In the near future, more people and materials will be sent into the sky. Those engineering components will be fixed on the ancient and magnificent steel barrier of Cangqiu Station. When the planetary shield rises from the earth and closes in space, the broadcast array inside the ring of Cangqiu Station will contact the home star barrier, forming the largest data exchange system in history.

Then, the neural network will complete its final connection with this "planetary shield", and the minds of all living beings in the world will turn into a tough barrier called the "maternal planet barrier", and will face the most primitive and deepest malice in this universe.

Cassandra retracted her gaze looking into the distance. She raised her head. The verdant earth and azure ocean of Loren were quietly floating above the operating cabin. The outer tube wall of the orbital lift pointed far away to the planet's surface. From this position, everything on the earth had been integrated into the blue and green background, and there was no more country, city and city.

But Cassandra knew that at this moment the industrial machinery of the planet had already started, and mortals were casting an ambitious city outside their cradle. Since ancient times, since the primitive people built the first wall with stones and soil, since the king cast their castles with steel and bricks, and until today, the Loren League built this barrier of the mother star, the efforts of all living beings in the world to survive have never stopped.

Mortals are very fragile, and they are fragile to a strong wind, a fire, or a single epidemic may take hundreds of lives. It is also because of this weakness that they have to embrace the gods in order to seek peace of mind in the difficult and dangerous world. They curl behind high walls in order to withstand the cold wind and beasts in the wilderness.

But in this way, sentient beings walked step by step in their weakness, and finally reached the position of standing side by side with the gods they created, and to the height of looking around among the stars.

Then, facing the deeper darkness among the stars, the greater malice in the world - to survive, they built higher and larger walls, and they curled up behind the high walls and trembled, waiting for the end of the world to come. They may not necessarily survive, but if they survive, their eyes will definitely be farther away until the new city is built and reach the end of the stars.

A sentence suddenly appeared in Cassandra's mind, which made her unable to help but whisper to herself: "The weak are not cowardly, and the weak are immortal; the strong are uncontrollable, and the strong are not there..."

"What are you talking about?" Alice, who was accepting the welding point, raised her head and looked curiously at the cockpit of the construction machinery. "It doesn't sound like a proverb from Loren..."

"It's a sentence from my hometown," Kassandra explained, "It means that if a weak creature can face its weakness and overcome the fear of cowardice, it can survive for a long time. If a powerful creature is uncontrollably and unscrupulous, it will sooner or later disappear into a greater crisis - this is what a wise man in ancient times said, when we struggled to survive on the seabed, relying on strong vitality and recovery to deal with powerful deep-sea predators."

"Simon...weak?" Alice's tone sounded incredible, "You Simon will also be threatened by predators? Are there any predators stronger than you?"

"We are not predators, we love peace," Kassandra laughed. "And I'm talking about a long time ago. At that time, we were a very weak race. Not to mention creating spacecraft that can sail in the universe, we have never seen anything on the sea. At that time, the most terrifying deep-sea predators in our eyes were actually just some sea beasts. Later we kept them in the reserve..."

"I want to record the interesting data and upload it to the Iron Man Network," Alice listened thoughtfully, then shook her head, "But now we should focus on the task. Miss Cassandra, the welding point has been checked, and all indicators meet the design requirements. We can perform the next engineering task."

"Work," Kassandra patted her face and quickly lifted her spirits, "Which area is next?"

"Wait a minute, I'll send the information..."

...

On the edge of the deep blue well impact crater, a large building is under intense construction - although it only has a large construction site and a large number of frames standing like skeletons, the scale of these things alone is enough to infer its future grandeur.

The powerful construction machinery ran violently on the construction site. The energy pipelines directly connected from the deep blue well provided unlimited energy for all facilities on the construction site after conversion. The Cecils in engineering uniforms were busy commuting between the steel machinery. Large curtains were hung on the wall at the entrance of the construction site, with a line of large words written in human common language:

"Full Star Barrier Ground Control Center"

A slender figure stood quietly on a high platform near the construction site, looking at the busy construction site.

This figure was wearing a blond hair shawl, wearing a palace dress that was obviously not part of this era. It was quite popular in the Gondor era. Her face was as delicate as a doll. She stood in the cold wind and saw the entire construction site. A few meters behind her stood a row of iron soldiers. These iron soldiers remained motionless in the wind, like sculptures.

Over the past few hundred years, Ophelia has never left her "doomsday bunker". Although she has traveled all human kingdoms outside the wasteland in a "incarnation", she has never stepped on the Talash Plain above her head. Even after the Battle of Talash, she created a "body" that truly belongs to her at the suggestion of Gao Wen, which basically only moves underground.

Today is the first time she has left the underground fortress with her "her own body" and set foot on this land in person.

The memories of the real Princess Ophelia from history flow quietly in the matrix. The memories still retain the past scenery of this land. The scenery has towering cities, vast fields, magical mechanisms flying in the sky and towering mage towers. But all this has long disappeared from the earth-shaking explosion seven hundred years ago. What the Ophelia matrix saw with its own eyes was another desolate but magnificent scene.

The wilderness is deserted, but countless towering energy facilities are rising up and the old city is disappearing. However, the home star barrier command center used to shelter the world has been laid. The sky once covered by charged clouds has now returned to clear. Although the magic carpets and magic boats passing through the clouds can no longer be seen, she can see the castle-like Gorgon flying fortress and escort formations cruising in the clouds.

There are also griffins from the Tifeng Empire and giant eagles from the Silver Empire cursing at the streets at low altitude.

It's a scenery.
