#1074 - Chapter 1074: The Transformed Outer Northeast! Can't Hide? A Total War!
Outer Northeast.
Originally, it was a bitterly cold land.
Even the Primorsky Krai, bordering the sea and influenced by oceanic air currents, has a relatively higher temperature, but it's still relative—much of the Outer Northeast is covered in permafrost, with an extremely cold climate.
But now, things are different!
The Stanovoy Range and the Dzhugdzhur Mountains have been significantly elevated.
After geological modification, they are completely connected, cutting off cold air masses from the far north.
In the sky.
Many suns are suspended!
Not stars, but 'artificial suns' created using Dyson swarm remote power transmission, with nearly inexhaustible energy.
They are activated during low temperatures, combined with other climate modification technologies, making late November comparable to mid-spring.
That's right!
It's already winter.
The temperature in the Outer Northeast should be very low.
But looking around...
There are large green fields and a stunning sea of flowers.
Even the tulip fields of the Netherlands pale in comparison!
"Dad! Mom!"
Little Xing strolled through the flower sea, her excited little face flushed red: "This is so beautiful! Although I don't know how beautiful the Netherlands is, as Xiaohui said, but... it's definitely not as beautiful as here—definitely!"
Too beautiful!
Breathtaking beauty!
"Do you like it?" Chen Hao watched his daughter running in the sea of flowers.
"Yes! I especially, especially, especially like it!"
"This is yours."
Chen Hao whispered this sentence, too quietly for Little Xing in the distance to hear.
More than just this sea of flowers?
More than one million square kilometers belong to his daughter!
"Really!"
"Then... let's take pictures?"
"Okay."
Chen Hao picked up the camera, and as soon as his wife and daughter stood together, he immediately devoted himself to taking pictures.
In the sea of flowers.
In the fields.
Under the sunlight.
There are single photos of his daughter, and also family photos.
While taking pictures...
Chen Hao's expression suddenly froze.
He had made a series of preparations specifically for bringing his daughter to play, such as a camera similar to a Polaroid, which would produce photos immediately after taking them.
Holding a newly printed photo, he stared at the photo in a daze.
"Dad, are the photos out? I want to see!" The little girl ran over excitedly.
"..."
"Dad..."
Suddenly!
Xia Qingmo grabbed her daughter and shook her head, signaling her not to speak.
Pulling her daughter away, she whispered and chuckled: "Little Xing, how about Mom takes pictures for you? Dad has something to do, let's not bother him."
After speaking, she glanced at her husband from afar.
This state...
Had appeared before!
On the other side, Chen Hao stared at the photo in his hand.
Not looking at the people or the scenery, but looking at the photo itself.
A small photo paper, enclosing people and scenery, preserving that moment of beauty.
Preserving memory.
The photo paper is only a small piece the size of a palm, but the scenery is so vast.
And the result?
The huge scenery is presented in the small photo paper...
He inexplicably had a sudden idea, related to 'reverse direction' on a one-way street, but it seemed that it could not be completely resolved, so he fell into contemplation.
Very normal!
This is not the technology that was leaped before.
The difficulty is much greater, and there are more difficulties to overcome, even if there is a flash of inspiration...
How many points need to be resolved?
But!
At least, there is progress!
Here, a family of three is enjoying warmth in the sea of flowers, while in another distant universe, tensions are running high.
...
The Toad Spirit civilization is a monarchical autocracy.
The monarch is dead.
A new monarch ascends the throne.
The new monarch is not of the same race as them, so there is no so-called affection to speak of, and people are directly killed if they don't obey.
Prince Toad Spirit immediately executed the order.
Suddenly!
Outside the sphere constructed by the energy membrane, many warships have gathered!
"From today onwards, the resources to be handed over will be doubled, and the time will be halved!" A huge projection screen appeared outside the energy membrane sphere, the picture showing the flagship command room, with a person huddled in a cloak.
"Double?!"
Prince Toad Spirit was shocked: "The time hasn't come yet, and... we don't have that much!"
"How can the total amount keep increasing and the time be shortened again and again?"
"How are we supposed to survive?!"
The prince was very angry.
But he still didn't dare to show it too directly.
Although the Emperor said that as long as the other party demanded resources, he should immediately refuse sternly, but...
He didn't dare!
Afraid of being destroyed by Yunhe Star!
You are just one person plus tens of thousands of subordinates, but I have tens of billions of people in my entire race. Once there is a conflict with Yunhe Star... what if the country is destroyed and the race is exterminated?
In short.
It's best to reason tactfully.
"Do you think I'm negotiating?" The other party sneered.
"But..."
"Cao ni ma!"
Suddenly!
A Xuanjia jumped out, pointing at the cloaked person on the projection screen: "Stop talking nonsense! We won't give you a single hair, get out of here immediately!"
The cowardice of Prince Toad Spirit angered these soldiers.
The key is that the 'new monarch' asked the Toad Spirit to directly refuse, but this guy is still reasoning with the other party?
If reasoning was useful...
Would there still be a need to develop technology?
What is the army for?
What are weapons for?
In this universe on the verge of destruction, the law of the jungle is fully displayed, and there is no reason to speak of.
Strength is the only reason!
"Looking for death!"
The cloaked person was furious: "Break through their energy shield!"
"No... wait a minute! Let me explain!" Prince Toad Spirit was terrified.
They only have level 3.1 technology, and they don't have the strength to seize habitable planets, so they can only use technology to build shelters.
The energy membrane sphere has a huge flaw.
Once broken through...
It is equivalent to being exposed to the universe, and they will surely die without a burial place!
But it didn't know that the Yunhe Star fleet was at the city's gate, and from the beginning it wasn't for resources, but because they were suspicious and worried that hegemony would be threatened—constant pressure was an excuse to take action.
Even if you agree to the other party's request, the other party will make more demands, breaking through your bottom line.
Since the other party came with this purpose, how could they listen to its explanation?
Whoosh!
A stream of light tore through the universe.
Falling on the outside of the energy membrane like rain hitting plantains.
It wasn't broken through?
The cloaked person was obviously stunned, and then his tone became even colder: "I'll cut it open!"
The next moment.
A strand of light floated out of the flagship.
That's right, just one strand!
A very thin one, with a silver body.
After this strand appeared, all the core high-level Toad Spirits showed desperate expressions.
This is Yunhe Star's strongest killing move.
Level 4.8 civilization weapon!
And they only have level 3.1, okay?
Among the hundreds of millions of civilizations in the universe, due to different directions of technological development, if the difference is only 0.1 or 0.2 levels, the weaker side still has a chance to win, but... exceeding a level of civilization difference is like heaven and earth!
Let's put it this way.
Even if there are a thousand Toad Spirits of this level added together, they are unable to contend with Yunhe Star.
As long as it exceeds one level, quantity is completely useless!
"Space cutting... run away!" Prince Toad Spirit screamed, directly giving up resistance.
Not just timid and afraid of death.
All the high-level executives, seeing this scene, had already directly given up resistance. Under the absolute technological difference, courage and integrity are meaningless—they will only die faster!
"Activate!"
A Xuanjia suddenly roared.
