#1088 - Extra 1: Super warp engine, the journey begins! Voluntarily give up your life?
The Yunhe Star System has been completely occupied by the Toad Clan.
Imperial military base.
Giant battleships hovered, surrounded by Huaxia soldiers in combat suits, ordering countless Toad Clan soldiers: "Move! Stop dawdling! Hurry up!"
Fully armed Toad Clan soldiers boarded the ships.
They felt no fear.
Only excitement.
Two years ago, the Level 6 civilization's warp engine jump technology completed testing from theory to prototype.
In the past two years.
Earth mass-produced engines, while the Toad Clan carried out a series of modifications to the battleships based on the new engines.
Finally, two years later, the modifications were completed.
A new journey has begun!
The reason why the Toad Clan soldiers were excited was because the Emperor had issued a new decree: Anyone who loots an advanced civilization and obtains substantial results will be promoted at least one rank.
At least one rank, with no upper limit.
Even those with outstanding performance can have their peerage elevated, up to the rank of Prince!
What does this mean in the strictly hierarchical Hasla civilization?
A leap through the dragon gate!
Little do they know...
"The Emperor is here!" someone shouted.
Sure enough!
A devastatingly handsome man walked over, none other than a death row inmate from Huaxia.
Behind him followed a group of unfamiliar Huaxia people.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
The Toad Clan, preparing to board the ships, knelt down one after another.
Kneeling with peace of mind.
Not a single one was forced.
From top to bottom, these Toad Clan members had nothing but respect, admiration, and worship for this Emperor of a different species.
No choice!
As highly intelligent lifeforms, some would rather shed blood and sacrifice their lives to resist colonization, never compromising until death.
And others...
Whoever offers milk is their mother?
Fearing power but not cherishing virtue?
As long as you are strong enough, they don't care about race, they will not hesitate to kneel down - this is exactly the same as those from the small island nation.
"All guards, board the ships!" Chen Hao turned his head.
Behind him were thousands of people, all from Huaxia.
Now, they were going to use the warp engine technology after the jump, traversing multiple galaxies to the depths of the universe, to find civilizations beyond Level 6.
Previously, in the Toad Clan fleet's actions against certain civilizations in the surrounding star systems, in addition to the Toad Clan soldiers making up the majority, a small number of Earth elites also joined, serving as mid-to-high-level commanders.
This time is different!
The destination is too far, and there are countless unknown risks.
Let Huaxia soldiers go?
Absolutely not! Huaxia soldiers cannot be allowed to take such a big risk!
These people he brought were all death row inmates whose consciousness had been erased, controlled by Earth.
Just a shell, it doesn't matter if they die, they can be replaced at any time.
The death row inmates controlled by the team will participate in the action as 'guards' and serve as the highest command level of the fleet.
The battleships ascended.
First, they flew through conventional flight, away from Yunhe Star, and then re-entered hovering.
"Energy injection, start the warp engine!"
"Generate a super warp bubble!"
In an instant.
In the void around the battleships, dark energy invisible to the naked eye was sucked into the engine.
This is the core technology of the warp engine!
Relying on the energy carried by the battleships to travel across multiple galaxies?
Impossible!
The energy stored in the battleships is limited.
It is necessary to use the energy readily available in the universe.
Undoubtedly, it is dark energy!
Dark energy accounts for nearly 70% of the total mass of the universe, even in the universe entering the final stage of destruction, the proportion of chaotic energy is getting higher and higher, the proportion of dark energy is definitely not small.
As dark energy was sucked into the engine, a peculiar bubble covered the battleships.
It was the warp bubble!
Through the elasticity of space, compress the space in front of the battleships to achieve faster-than-light flight.
And how many times faster than light is the warp engine...
It depends on how many times the warp bubble compresses the space in front.
Whoosh!
As the warp bubble was generated, the battleships disappeared out of thin air.
Faster than the speed of light by an unknown number of times!
......
Chen Hao has been relatively idle these past few years.
After the super warp engine was developed and mass-produced, it was sent to the Toad Clan, and the fleet has embarked on a new journey.
As for the one-way 'reverse' technology...
The idea has long been there.
But!
At the current level, it is not enough to conduct in-depth research, it must wait until the Toad Clan loots more advanced technology.
What else can be researched now?
That is, the twenty or thirty smartest scientists, led by Qian Lao, are expanding towards the field of weapons based on the reverse knowledge given by Hai Yina.
Over the years, many ideas have indeed been expanded, but most of them only have two outcomes.
Either, in-depth research reveals that it is not feasible.
Or.
The knowledge level is insufficient, and research cannot continue.
"No!"
Comprehensive Scientific Research Center.
Chen Hao frowned tightly, and said helplessly: "The current knowledge cannot keep up, this idea... let's seal it up first!"
Alright!
Another project was forced to be sealed.
The deeper the research, the more it is discovered that the required knowledge level has far exceeded the technology of a Level 6 civilization.
Not to mention the scientists led by Qian Lao, even Chen Hao's knowledge depth is not enough.
Too profound!
'General Wang is calling!' the AI system prompted.
Now, there is no need for Xiang Yan to hold his mobile phone outside all day long, the AI system can replace the work.
"General Wang?" Chen Hao connected the communication.
"Commander, are you... free?"
"What's wrong?"
"Old Yu is dying, he... wants to see you!"
General Wang knew that the Commander had not been so busy these past few years.
Earth is completely safe.
Unlike before, when he was racing against time and running around.
And Old Yu...
As a former meritorious official of Huaxia, his only wish before his death should indeed be told to the Commander.
"Old Yu he..."
Chen Hao widened his eyes.
That's not right!
With today's medical technology, even without organ replacement, gene technology alone can easily allow people to live for hundreds of years.
Once organ replacement is superimposed, it can almost achieve immortality!
Of course, organ replacement technology has not yet been developed.
It's not that there is no technology.
It's just that there is no need for it yet.
From the millennium to now, it has only been a short twenty years, and gene technology alone can allow people to increase their average lifespan from a few decades to hundreds of years - organ replacement will not be needed within a few hundred years.
The question is!
In the previous life, Old Yu passed away in 2018.
How could it be in this life...
"Didn't inject the gene agent?" Chen Hao hurriedly asked.
"No."
General Wang said helplessly: "Even... he refused more treatment."
"Wait for me!"
Chen Hao didn't say much and hung up directly.
Ten minutes later, he ran to the surface of the Comprehensive Scientific Research Center.
Another quarter of an hour, he arrived at a hospital in the capital.
......
ICU ward.
The old man lay quietly on the bed.
At nearly a hundred years old, his hair was almost completely gone, and his face was covered with age spots.
More than just twilight?
When life comes to an end, the whole person is so weak that he is unrecognisable.
Many people stood around the hospital bed.
There were former colleagues, disciples, and high-level leaders of relevant departments, everyone looked sad and couldn't figure it out - clearly, he could live longer, why did he actively give up?
"The Commander is here!" someone said.
"Greetings..."
The others were about to salute, but Chen Hao had already walked to the bed: "Old Yu, I've come to see you!"
"Commander..." The old man wanted to get up.
But he only moved slightly, it was impossible to sit up.
"No need!"
Chen Hao grabbed his withered hand: "Why?"
The people around couldn't figure it out, how could he figure it out?
"Life lies in meaning, not in length..."
The old man was too weak, it took a long time to say a sentence: "My life... has no meaning anymore..."
