Deep beneath Hope Base, engineers—guided by CES—activated the first Cosmic Reactor Core.
Its pulse could power an entire continent. No pollution. No heat loss.

It also powered Earth's first light-speed research chamber.
This core would be key in building orbital defenses, new weaponry, and floating cities.
The era of fuel and fossil power was officially over.
Hong stood beside the glowing chamber.
"Let them send warships," he whispered."We'll send them back with gifts… or send them back in pieces.
