#1073 - Chapter 1073 The only regret I have for the whole world! A sudden change, an enemy at the ga
"I discovered long ago that there was something wrong with Hasla!"
The leader's tone was icy: "Increase the frequency and quantity of tribute again—this time, you will be personally responsible and take the fleet!"
The interval between the previous tributes was shortened because he discovered something was amiss.
It's simple.
The majority of low-level civilizations are either destroyed by white hole jets or face stronger civilizations and are annihilated when vying for habitable planets.
A tiny fraction of high-level civilizations run away.
Using super-high technology, they traverse countless galaxies to relatively safe places.
The remaining…
Levels 2 to 6 are all mid-level civilizations, but in fact, the disparity in strength is enormous.
Therefore, a 4.8-level civilization like Yunhe Star is already considered a regional overlord, and other weaker civilizations are forced to pay tribute in order to sustain their race, but what if…
A stronger civilization appears?
Yunhe Star is no longer the overlord?
The Hasla civilization is only level 3.1, but it is sending its fleet to a 3.7 civilization.
What does this mean?
It is very likely that they have achieved a huge leap in technology!
There are only so many resources.
Once a new overlord appears, how will Yunhe Star survive?
This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!
…
Evening.
Chen Hao returned to his father-in-law's house, exhausted.
The couple still hadn't bought a house.
Firstly, his father-in-law and mother-in-law helped take care of the child.
Secondly, the couple rarely went home, mostly staying at the research center.
One of the new weapons given by Hai Yina had been successfully developed, while the other was more difficult and would take more time.
In addition.
In order to stall for time, he claimed to be wholeheartedly focused on the new weapon to solve the immediate crisis of survival.
But in fact?
He had been thinking about 'reverse engineering' technology.
It's just a pity that there has been no progress.
Just as he was about to enter the house, a phone call came in: "Xiao Chen, I've sent you some information, please take a look when you have time."
It was Old Qian!
Led by him, more than twenty of the world's smartest top scientists were gathered to jointly expand the tech tree.
The entire Human Doomsday Alliance, regarding the preliminary results of reverse engineering technology and related knowledge in this field, Hai Yina did not hide anything and gave it all to Chen Hao.
He was responsible for using the preliminary results as a basis to crack the one-way 'reverse engineering' technology.
This is a leap!
What about those people led by Old Qian?
They also referred to this information, but used it to develop new weapons.
"Old Qian, you've worked hard," Chen Hao nodded.
Soon.
A file appeared in the virtual reality field of vision.
It was a variety of weapon routes given by twenty or thirty people over this period, using their imagination.
Of course, they were not random science fiction guesses, but based on existing knowledge, theoretically in line with logic.
Chen Hao was just about to look…
Suddenly!
Walking into the house, through the floor-to-ceiling glass, he saw his daughter sitting in the garden in a daze.
His mother-in-law was cooking in the kitchen, letting her granddaughter play by herself.
"Xiao Xing, what are you thinking about?" Chen Hao walked through the living room to his daughter's side.
"Dad…"
The little girl was stunned, and then asked: "Have you been to the Netherlands?"
Netherlands?
Chen Hao was a little confused: "What's wrong with the Netherlands?"
"My classmate said that the flower fields in the Netherlands are especially beautiful, and she even showed me pictures," the little girl said with longing.
"…"
Chen Hao was stunned.
He and his wife were both very busy, and even if they occasionally took the time to accompany her, it was mainly in the city.
Grandparents and grandparents often took her, but at most they would only travel around the surrounding cities.
"Xiao Xing, shall Dad take you to play?" he hurriedly said.
"No…"
Xiao Xing was stunned and quickly shook her head: "Dad, I know you are very busy, so… I don't want to disturb you, I just… if you have been to the Netherlands, can you tell me about it?"
Chen Hao felt even more uncomfortable.
His daughter was so young, but so sensible.
But…
The more sensible his daughter was, the more guilty he felt!
Over the years, he had devoted countless efforts to China and to mankind.
He was worthy of the world, but he had only let down his family.
"Xiao Xing, I'll call Mom, and we'll go out to play together today—don't worry, it won't affect work!" He was about to call his wife.
One of the two new weapons had been completed, and it was estimated that the other could be completed in time.
As for 'reverse engineering' technology…
There was no hurry.
Moreover, this was not something that could be solved by research, it belonged to a super-high-level technological leap, and it was useless to stay in the research center for a long time. It had to be done through inspiration and innovation, and then theoretical verification.
At present, let alone theory, there was no inspiration or ideas, so how could it be developed?
Taking his daughter to play for a few days would not delay work.
Maybe he would have a burst of inspiration?
He was just about to contact his wife when the operating team sent an urgent message: "Commander, something big has happened!"
"Speak," Chen Hao was stunned.
"Alien universe, just received a monitoring alarm, discovered the Yunhe Star fleet!"
"What?!"
Chen Hao's face froze.
It's only…
Less than two years?!
You know, the last time Yunhe Star asked for 'tribute' was earlier compared to the time before that, and this time compared to the last time… it's even earlier!
The key is that the person in charge of the operating team said that the other party's arrival was not a transport ship.
It's a fleet!
What does the arrival of the fleet mean?
"You are responsible for the operation," Chen Hao said.
"Ah?!"
The person in charge was shocked: "Commander, this matter… I dare not make the decision, you have to come in person, I…"
"Listen to me."
Chen Hao's tone was much gentler: "I will teach you what to do, just follow the instructions."
"The main thing is… the appearance of the other party's warship, there is a high probability of war!"
"Then go to war."
"Ah?!"
"Don't worry, there's no problem."
He hung up directly.
He immediately dialed General Wang: "The Yunhe Star fleet is here, there is a high probability that they have discovered something, and there is a high probability that they will directly start a war."
"What?!"
General Wang widened his eyes, his tone full of anxiety: "With the toad spirit's strength… how can we fight? Didn't you say that Yunhe Star is close to a level 5 civilization, even the space lock… is useless to them, right?"
"Defend first," Chen Hao smiled.
"You mean…"
"Aren't the defensive weapons in mass production?"
"Are you sure you can defend against it? That's a 4.8-level civilization!"
"Don't worry."
Chen Hao grinned.
At the beginning, he lied to Hai Yina, saying that he seriously underestimated the strength of the opponent, and the enemy had a weapon similar to a light beam that could cut through space.
This powerful weapon did exist, but it did not come from the toad spirit civilization.
He learned about such a weapon through the common sense from the toad spirit civilization.
It came from Yunhe Star!
A space-cutting weapon of a 4.8-level civilization!
The weapon Hai Yina gave him was aimed at this technology, how could it not be able to block it?
The solution?
He would tell the operating team.
Weapon?
It has already been mass-produced.
It's not necessary for him to solve it in person.
In short, he must take his daughter out to play today to make up for the guilt in his heart.
