Chapter 276 Fighter Jets Shock Representatives of Various Alien Races

The Endless Plains, the fiefdom of the Great Xia Expeditionary Army.

A giant teleportation portal, fifty meters high and ninety meters wide, stands silently.

A deep blue light swirled around the door frame, like a giant portal embedded between heaven and earth, revealing the profound depth of the space.

Inside and outside the gate, a 100-meter radius was designated as a dedicated transportation route, with thick steel plates paving the solid road surface.

Not far away, a construction site was bustling with activity.

Countless engineering soldiers worked together with heavy machinery, the roar of engines and loud shouts intertwining, shaking the heavens and the earth.

A long line of concrete mixer trucks drove out of the portal one after another, heading to the defensive fortifications being poured in various parts of the fiefdom.

In the air, the rotors of heavy attack helicopters whipped up a fierce wind as they carried huge prefabricated modules out of the door.

This allows for the transport of both armed helicopters and supplies, achieving two goals at once.

The troops that were originally stationed in Firefly Valley and Emerald Leaf City have all gathered here.

The entire fiefdom entered a period of frenzied infrastructure construction.

When the portal was forcibly stretched from a circle to a rectangle by Ryze, the lower half was embedded in the ground for a full fifteen meters.

Even if it becomes rectangular, it will still be level with the ground.

This unexpected outcome saved them the trouble of raising the canal embankment, making the engineers in charge of the project extremely happy.

Lin Mo and Zhao Gang stood on a makeshift command platform, overlooking the bustling land.

The centaur Grom, along with several guards, faithfully stood watch not far behind them.

"Phew, after sending off the Holy Human, Elf, and Dwarf transport teams yesterday, our warehouse is already more than half empty."

Lin Mo recalled the scene yesterday where representatives from various ethnic groups left with their vehicles full of goods, completely satisfied, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"If this door hadn't opened in time, they would have taken everything from us."

"That said, the consumption of space crystals is acceptable, but the consumption of energy crystals is terrifying. We're burning through almost a thousand a day!"

Even if an elf's energy crystal only costs eight gold coins, that's still eight thousand gold coins!

"Converted to our currency, that's eighteen million a day!"

Zhao Gang took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed one to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo waved his hand and refused.

He bent down, lit the lamp with a "click," took a drag, exhaled a white smoke ring, and laughed:

"Eighteen million sounds frightening, but for a country, it's just a drop in the ocean."

"Don't just focus on consumption. Think about the throughput of this door over the past few days, and how much the goods it transports are worth."

"That maintenance cost is negligible."

"If you really want to do the math, give it two trillion, and it'll be enough for it to burn through the money for three hundred years without stopping."

"Once the large-scale material transportation phase is over, the daily maintenance cost is estimated to be only around one million per day, which is not a big deal."

Lin Mo thought for a moment,

"That seems to make sense!"

He looked at the enormous portal and suddenly a crucial question came to mind.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, how tall is our aircraft carrier again?"

Zhao Gang casually gave a number.

"About sixty meters."

Lin Mo: "???"

He looked at Zhao Gang in astonishment.

"Over sixty meters? Then this door..."

This portal is only fifty meters high.

Zhao Gang turned his head and exhaled another puff of smoke.

"It's not a big problem."

"We'll just remove the radar and antennas, tow the main body of the ship over here, and then reassemble it."

"It's no big deal."

Lin Mo: "..."

Good grief, you've turned an aircraft carrier into a Lego brick!

Just then, a communications soldier ran quickly up the platform, stood ramrod straight, and gave a perfect attention salute.

"Reporting, sir!"

"The temporary airport's runway one has been completed and fully meets the standards for fighter jet takeoff and landing!"

Lin Mo's spirits lifted.

After working non-stop for the past few days, we've finally achieved our first major result!

"good!"

Zhao Gang stubbed out his cigarette and gave the order to the communications soldier.

"Pass the order: clear the site and proceed as planned!"

"yes!"

The communications soldier turned around and ran quickly down the platform.

The instructions were quickly relayed.

Although the engineering soldiers working on the project were full of doubts, military orders were paramount.

They immediately stopped what they were doing and drove excavators, bulldozers, cranes and other construction vehicles to quickly evacuate the area near the portal.

The construction site, which had been noisy just moments before, became unusually quiet within minutes.

Only the sound of the wind and the distant sound of waves crashing on the beach remained.

This sudden change alarmed the representatives of the alien races temporarily residing in the camp.

They'd gotten used to the loud roar over the past few days, so its sudden disappearance must be suspicious.

Kyle, Thorin Steelbeard, and Elder Woodwhisper emerged from their respective tents almost simultaneously and hurried toward the high platform.

"Holy Son, what has happened? Is it a demon attack?"

Kyle looked serious.

Thorin Steelbeard snapped:

"Are those marine scum causing trouble again?"

Lin Mo looked at their nervous expressions and shook his head with a smile.

"No, don't be nervous."

"It's just... some new equipment is coming over."

The voice just fell.

The next second, a silver-gray, sleek triangular head suddenly burst out from the blue light curtain!

It's as fast as lightning!

Before anyone could get a clear look at its full appearance, the entire machine had already left the portal.

A wave of scorching heat rushed towards them, whistling past overhead.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp, deafening roar that could pierce eardrums finally arrived, exploding out suddenly!

Below the wings, two circular nozzles spewed out long blue trails of flame, distorting the surrounding air with intense heat and producing a series of crackling and popping sounds.

Om-!

The sound was incredibly violent, like an ancient ferocious beast roaring and tearing the sky apart.

Kyle and Elder Muyu turned pale instantly, instinctively mobilizing their magic to protect their bodies, barely managing to stand.

Thorin's meticulously groomed beard was blown backward by the strong wind, covering his face.

"What...what the hell is that?!"

Thorin tilted his head back, his beard trembling, his wide eyes filled with disbelief.

He was a master blacksmith, and he swore he had never seen such a... such a beautiful yet violent metal creation.

Kyle was stunned.

It's understandable that we can't feel any magical fluctuations without relying on magic; after all, this is the technology of the Great Xia Dynasty, so it's normal not to use magic.

But why doesn't it have the rotating wings of a helicopter?

It just... flew up like that?

And it flew so fast!

This is not scientific!!!

This scene once again shattered his understanding!

Before they could recover from their shock, a second, a third, a tenth...

One after another, fighter jets and bombers painted with the insignia of the Great Xia army rushed out of the portal like a swarm of steel bees leaving their nest.

They quickly formed neat formations in the air, circling, rising, and emitting a deafening roar.

The entire sky was soon filled with these cold, steel raptors.

Their shadows covered the stunned alien representatives below.
