"What are you making this time, Commander? It looks nothing like the things you made before!"
Driving the SCV to help the Rippers move the processed metal materials into the underground space, RFB had already gotten used to this job that allowed her to slack off.
"How can those compare to this thing? Those were just the main structural framework components, while this is a new engine." Squinting his eyes, Renault carefully examined the task in his hand. This was delicate work; even a slight mistake could lead to the assembly failure of this engine.
"An engine? This thing?" RFB parked the SCV in an empty space and then came to Renault's side, looking up at the massive object in front of her, about five or six meters tall and nearly seven to eight meters in diameter.
The oval-shaped body looked extremely bulky, almost the size of a house. Such a large object, could it be the engine for a spaceship?
RFB probably had a vague idea of what Renault wanted to create because the design drawings he drew were lying on the table in the workshop, completely exposed to them. For them, it was just something to look at without any reservations.
In reality, RFB couldn't understand what those design drawings were supposed to be. She could only piece together a massive device that resembled a tiltrotor aircraft, not too far from reality...
Or could it be called a ship?
"Of course, it's this. What else could it be? You're always lounging around in the dorms, and then suddenly there's a shutdown."
"What? Impossible. Commander, didn't you say our bodies have protection measures against electromagnetic attacks, so we don't have to worry about it? And this engine, it's so big, is it powered by diesel?"
Obviously, RFB didn't take Renault's words to heart. After all, such a huge engine, obviously meant to be installed on a ship, was similar to those ship turbines. And this thing only had one main body, without a generator. How could it directly produce electromagnetic pulses?
Glancing at RFB who was circling the engine, Renault rolled his eyes, finishing installing the last few components. Then he directly used a temporary controller for maintenance to start the engine's startup options.
Hum—!
Standing next to the engine, with one hand on the engine casing, RFB's eyes instantly went black! Her entire body instantly relaxed, and she collapsed backward onto the ground!
Bang!
Fortunately, the blackout only lasted for a moment. As the back of her head hit the floor, RFB regained consciousness. Although her body was still somewhat unresponsive, after trying a few times, she managed to sit up from the ground.
"Wow! Commander! What is this thing!?" Rubbing her sore head, RFB stared incredulously at the huge "engine" in front of her that had already started running.
"An engine, to be installed on a ship. Didn't I just say that?"
"But, but this thing doesn't make any noise except for that buzzing just now!? It's neither a fuel turbine nor a gas turbine. It looks more like... a nuclear fusion engine from games?"
"I didn't expect you to be smart this time. But this is a cold fusion engine. It's almost ready to operate normally now. Continuing to run this thing to test its stability will be enough to directly supply power to the factory area."
With this thing, he no longer had to worry about someone shutting down the electricity in his factory.
When the main structure of the spaceship was completed, this thing could be directly moved into the spaceship as an engine, killing two birds with one stone.
"This... this is too much, isn't it!? And where did the materials for this thing come from!?"
Quietly making a cold fusion engine out of thin air? Are you kidding me?
Renault's unreasonable ability to make things was a bit too magical!
"Before, when I was flying Gentiane and the others in the helicopter, didn't we happen to pass by a decommissioned nuclear power plant? The materials were obtained from there."
Renault was in a good mood at the moment, so he took the time to explain to RFB. After all, the spaceship's engine was already done, and all that was left was to reprocess those materials once and then make them into spaceship components. By then, he just needed to slowly assemble the spaceship, and it would be completed.
Other than the spaceship's engine, the other equipment and facilities were child's play for Renault. There were no difficulties. The only problem was that Renault was alone, and it might take a long time for him to assemble the entire spaceship.
"Hey, hey, really? Commander, are you really planning to fly into outer space directly? There are many collapse particle clouds up the stratosphere! If we bump into one, won't we all be gone together!?"
Recalling the design drawings she had seen, RFB finally realized Renault's specific purpose...
He wanted to make a massive object over 150 meters long and at least dozens of meters high Spaceship!
How did she not notice how ambitious her Commander Renault's heart was!? Wanting to build a spaceship?
If this were to be discovered by people from other factions, either a large group of people would come to arrest Renault, or they would be attacked together, and the technology of this spaceship and cold fusion engine would be snatched away...
Although the chances of success were slim, both possibilities meant that if Renault's plan were exposed, not only would Statesec come looking for trouble, but also other agencies from the Internal Affairs Department and other countries would definitely come knocking!
Until Renault led RFB back to the dormitory building, RFB was still anxiously lowering her head, looking like a contemplator. Even her favorite games couldn't pique her interest today.
"What's wrong with her?" Seeing RFB like this, M200 looked at Maria beside her with some surprise.
This person usually even played games while eating. Why was she acting so unusual today?
"I don't know. Maybe Renault gave her some new task again." Maria didn't pay much attention, it was just some momentary depression. For RFB, it didn't mean much. After all, this girl was always like this, constantly fluctuating.
It wouldn't be long before RFB suddenly revived, then started causing trouble in the cafeteria.
But this time, Maria and M200 were disappointed. Even after dinner, RFB kept her serious attitude, only returning to her normal state when Renault raised his hand to tap her head and wake her up. Only then did RFB return to her normal state.
But the first thing she said after recovering made all the T-Dolls turn to look at her...
"Everyone! The commander has now begun to plan to rush into outer space!"
