Building a Battleship by Hand, Shocking the Entire Solar System

A thousand years later, humanity has long since migrated into space, and the age of interstellar warfare has arrived.

Pirate fleets, interstellar conquest, alien invasions!

This is the dark forest of the universe!

Only by constantly strengthening their fleets can people rule the stars!

Kun Peng, a scavenger, has the ability to scan any technology.

He can also obtain all the blueprints for that technology.

He begins combining everything!

War mechs are grafted onto exoskeletons.

High-frequency electromagnetic cannons are refitted into tiny pistols.

Fortress-class warships are disguised as junk ships.

Then he runs into a group of pirates.

Pirate: "That junk ship dares to follow us? Open fire with live ammunition!"

"What? It's using armor to stop live rounds?"

"Activate energy weapons! Blast through its armor!"

"That junk ship has an energy shield too?"

"Everyone, open fire! There's only one of him. We'll wear him down!"

"An unmanned fleet?!?!"

"Engage curvature drive! Run!"

"A warp engine... on a junk ship..."

Even as his ship sank, the pirate captain still couldn't figure out whether he'd run into a junk ship or a fortress-class warship.
