#993 - Chapter 993: A delaying tactic, Brady's sacrifice? The plan officially begins! - Rebirth: All Patents, Cutting off the European and American Tech Tree

Kuiper Belt.

Inside the battleship, Chen Hao was waiting for General Wang to go to Shanghai.

He knew that after General Wang hung up the phone, he would definitely talk to the old man about it, and he later contacted the old man as well.

The old man had already agreed to let General Wang go to Shanghai to personally activate the wormhole.

'Alert! Wormhole opening detected, unidentified objects are jumping through!'

What?!

Hearing the AI system's alarm, Chen Hao was first taken aback.

That's not right!

The Xuntian probe runs 24/7, monitoring the location of the artificial wormhole when the Hunter fleet jumps.

There are still more than seven months left.

It's impossible to arrive so early!

In the next moment, he thought of a possibility and immediately ordered through his consciousness: "Xuanjia No. 1, come here immediately!"

No. 1 came over quickly, and Chen Hao got into the cockpit.

He ran to the isolation bay of the battleship.

The isolation bay opened.

Xuanjia immediately flew out.

From a distance, through the Xuanjia monitoring system, he saw several Xuanjia floating in the void not far away.

He immediately understood.

The old man's promise to him was just a delaying tactic, wasn't it?

He was waiting for news from General Wang.

Where is General Wang?

He had already run to find those scientists, jumping over from Earth through the wormhole.

"…"

Chen Hao remained silent.

Watching the wormhole open and close in the distance, watching the number of jumping Xuanjia increase.

What else could he say?

General Wang or the old man.

Doing this…

It's simply because they care too much about his safety and don't want him to take risks again!

Call to stop it?

It's useless!

The old man has decided, the scientists have also decided, and people on Earth are lining up to jump. No matter who he contacts, it is impossible to stop the continued jumping—everyone has decided, and no one will listen to his orders.

He flew towards the Xuanjia that had jumped over.

"Mr. Chen, it's me!"

One of the Xuanjia sent out an excited voice: "I'm Andrew! Haha… I'm not dead!"

"You… you came too?"

Chen Hao was stunned.

Andrew.

Together with Brady, he was the person in charge of the artificial wormhole project.

"I must come!"

Andrew's tone straightened: "There's no reason to let you take this risk twice in a row—and we haven't taken any risks at all. It's not fair to you!"

Chen Hao didn't say anything.

"Mr. Qian is here too," Andrew said.

"What?!"

Chen Hao was first shocked, then frowned and scolded: "What is General Wang doing? If something happens to Old Qian, I will definitely…"

"I'm fine."

Just then.

A Xuanjia completed the wormhole jump, and a familiar voice came from the public channel.

It was Old Qian!

Chen Hao finally let go of his hanging heart: "Xiaoxing, contact General Wang to provide a list and compare it with those who have completed the jump."

Once the lists on both sides are compared, you will know who…

Sacrificed!

"Brady…"

Chen Hao's pupils constricted: "He…"

Brady's name had a red cross on it.

On Earth, he had completed the jump, but here in the Kuiper Belt…

He wasn't here!

Chen Hao stared blankly at the red cross.

Looking at the familiar names.

A feeling of indescribable sadness suddenly welled up in his heart.

Once, he couldn't wait to cut Brady into a thousand pieces and slowly torture him to death, which would be too good for him.

That bastard was so obsessed with astronomy that he actually replied to the Hunter civilization's signal, placing all of humanity in a deep abyss.

But…

Standing from another perspective?

Brady is a scientist, a top astronomer.

It is very common for scientists to be obsessed with their field.

In the next few years, Brady always felt guilty. After joining the artificial wormhole project, he researched almost frantically.

What's more…

Everything has two sides.

Brady's reply to the signal certainly brought humanity into a desperate situation, but crisis is also an opportunity!

If it weren't for this crisis, Earth's civilization would only be at level 1.4.

On the contrary.

Faced with life and death, he exploded with great potential, allowing some fields to leap forward.

Furthermore.

If this war is won…

The Hunter civilization of level 2.3 will also belong to Earth.

Earth's civilization will leap from level 1.4 to at least level 2.3, or even higher!

Now, he no longer hates Brady.

When he saw the red cross on the other party's name, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Little Chen."

Old Qian's voice came: "From the alien civilization to the Hunters, humanity has sacrificed too much. The only thing we can do is… to end everything!"

He couldn't see Chen Hao's expression, but Chen Hao suddenly fell silent, plus the list on the public screen.

He could guess that the child was feeling sad.

"Old Qian, I understand."

Chen Hao took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions: "Since everyone is here, immediately re-establish the laboratory! If any equipment is destroyed due to the wormhole collapse, report it to me immediately!"

There are plenty of backups on Earth, and a new copy will be sent if it is damaged.

Right now.

The most important thing is to rebuild the laboratory.

Fully invest in research and development!

As for the death of some scientists…

Putting aside emotional factors, from a purely scientific research perspective, it has no impact on the progress.

After all.

He, Chen Hao, is the only core!

…

This is a race against time.

Once it fails.

Humanity can only rely on strong field weapons: strong field weapons are slow to manufacture, and no one is sure whether this weapon can contend with the overwhelming fleet… is there enough strength to contend with it?

On the contrary.

If the plan is successful, it is equivalent to having double insurance.

It can even completely reverse everything!

What is reversed is not only the war launched by the Hunter civilization's fleet sent to the solar system.

But the entire confrontation between the Hunter civilization and Earth civilization.

Countdown again from 217 days.

Everyone is like a tightly wound spring, investing in research and development almost frantically.

Finally.

When the countdown reached 143 days…

The remote micro worm bridge project was successfully developed!

143 days.

That is to say, there are only less than 5 months left before the Hunter civilization's fleet arrives.

The dilapidated battleship hatch opened.

A small ship flew out.

The mothership carries a variety of aircraft with different functions for performing different tasks. The one in front of you is a life-saving ship—when encountering a strong enemy that you can't beat, you can take this ship to escape.

Lifeboat

Since it is used for escape, it must have a wormhole jump function.

Otherwise, how to escape back to the base camp?

In fact, this function is not needed at all, it is purely to confuse the enemy.

Inside the cockpit.

A beetle spirit is standing in front of the console, skillfully performing a series of operations.

After completing the various operations, he pressed a button.

Instantly!

The lifeboat's communication system connected to the mothership.

Chen Hao dismantled the mothership's remote control?

Very simple.

Just put it back.
