#994 - Chapter 994: Gliese 832 coordinates, got it! Micro-worm bridge opens!
16 light-years away.
A giant sphere hovered in the planet's orbit.
Not a satellite of Gliese 832C, but a man-made war fortress, called the War Center.
In fact, the Hunter civilization has not experienced any truly cruel wars externally; it mainly just goes to 'ranches' to harvest—does a middle school student beating up a child count as war?
Given the low frequency of harvesting, only happening once every many years, the War Center is not busy.
But at this moment!
It is unusually busy.
A call came from 16 light-years away.
It was from the star system where they sent a warship more than three years ago, and the warship was destroyed at that time.
The warship was not completely blown up, and the internal communication system was still usable.
But!
Why is Damon still alive?
Why can he still enter the mothership and contact them?
Illogical!
"Calling War Center!"
Damon immediately explained: "I'm not inside the mothership, I'm in the escape pod..."
More than three years ago, the mothership was attacked, and Damon claimed to have escaped, fleeing the solar system in the escape pod.
However, the escape pod was attacked when it fled, and some of its functions were damaged, making it impossible to directly contact the home planet. For the past three years, it has been approaching the home planet through wormhole jumps.
But in the past three years, the star system has been constantly moving.
How to locate it?
Fortunately!
As the chief engineer of the mothership, he repaired some functions of the escape pod.
The escape pod and the mothership belong to the same system.
For a long time recently, he has been trying to connect to the mothership's communication system, using it to relay the connection to the War Center.
It's just a pity...
He was never able to connect before, and only today did he connect for the first time.
Damon explained the cause and effect, and the War Center believed that he was not lying after listening—whether in terms of technology or logic, it was indeed reasonable.
"Of course you can't contact the mothership, because... the mothership has been controlled by those bugs!" the War Center replied.
"But... why can I connect now?"
Damon looked very puzzled.
The more puzzled he was.
The more the War Center believed him.
"Most likely, they activated the mothership, trying to obtain technology!" the other party concluded.
"Those damn bugs!"
Damon gritted his teeth, then changed the subject: "I need real-time coordinates!"
Soon.
A coordinate was sent over.
...
The Kuiper Belt of the solar system.
He looked at Old Qian beside him.
That's right!
The beetle spirit in the escape pod was completely under his control.
Not controlled by him manipulating the beetle spirit's mind: the beetle spirit's consciousness had long been completely erased by the instrument. From the 'soul' level, it was already dead, and Chen Hao's consciousness took its place, remotely controlling that body.
It was remote quantum mind manipulation!
It is a new technology that even the Hunter civilization does not possess.
It's not to say that the Hunter civilization's technology hasn't reached that level, but that they haven't developed in this direction.
It's like...
The ancient Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was lost, and later generations couldn't replicate it, right?
It's not that the technology hasn't reached that level.
But that not much effort was put into researching it.
The Hunter civilization would never have imagined that there would be such a magical technology, let alone that Damon's consciousness would come from the enemy!
Obtaining the precise location of the home planet is the most crucial step in the plan.
Finally, the coordinates are in hand!
"Great!"
Old Qian's eyes lit up: "Xiao Chen! I really didn't expect... that this would work!"
Remote quantum mind manipulation.
Remote miniature wormhole bridge.
Unlike in the past, the purpose of developing these two new projects is not for directly fighting the enemy, but for...
Penetrating the Hunter civilization!
As for why Damon was chosen...
He is the chief engineer of the mothership.
His status is second only to the captain and vice-captain, belonging to the high-IQ technical elite.
At the same time, he is also an aristocrat.
Why did the Hunter civilization open up 'ranches'?
They know that their race has flaws, and their average IQ is a bit lacking.
Not low.
But definitely not high.
Therefore, in their civilization, they attach great importance to high-IQ elites.
Damon himself is an engineer, and has an unusual family background, making it easier to infiltrate the upper echelons.
"Prepare!"
Chen Hao ordered.
Everyone was already in position, just waiting to get the coordinates.
"Wait!"
Old Qian suddenly thought of something: "With the size of that escape pod, our current wormhole technology... how can we send it 16 light-years away?"
Remote miniature wormhole bridge technology is used for small mass object jumps.
Small mass.
Only then can it be transmitted to a very far location.
The escape pod is nearly a hundred meters long, okay?
Much larger than the Xuanjia, and with their current wormhole technology, even if we ignore the transmission distance, we can't transmit such a large object.
Chen Hao grinned, his face full of cunning: "The escape pod is used to connect to the mothership to call the home planet, to make a show for them to see."
Old Qian was stunned.
Soon he understood: "So that's how it is!"
"Let's go."
Chen Hao helped Old Qian: "Old Qian, it's time for us to go home too."
They had been in the Kuiper Belt for a long time.
More than three years!
How much has changed on Earth?
Is my daughter going to elementary school?
And family, friends... it's been too long since I've seen them.
Oh right!
How is the Venus terraforming going?
Thinking of these questions, he was even more eager to return home.
"You're not planning to use wormhole jumps again, are you?" Old Qian was startled.
"No."
Chen Hao quickly shook his head: "I've learned everything from the beetle spirits—their ships have good speed."
He learned all the knowledge of countless beetle spirits.
From basic common sense to various technical knowledge, he had already mastered it thoroughly.
The mothership has various types of aircraft.
That speed...
Far exceeds China's hypersonic aircraft.
Although it's not as fast as the mothership and can't reach Earth in two days, it will take at most half a month.
Of course!
This doesn't mean that things will be easy next.
There is still more important work to do.
He wants to remotely control that beetle spirit named Damon!
...
Billions of kilometers away.
The center of the solar system.
Half of the Dyson Ring has been built.
More equipment is being manufactured on Earth for the Mercury mining base, and the number of equipment on Mercury is constantly increasing, so the construction speed of the Dyson Ring will also increase as time passes.
In the previous four years, only a mere 3.5% was completed, while in the next three years...
The progress will exceed 30%!
General Wang received instructions from Chen Hao to remotely control the Dyson Ring from Earth.
Whoosh!
Powerful energy transformed into a stream of light, and after flying out of the Dyson Ring, it flew towards a newly opened wormhole.
The wormhole connected to the distant Kuiper Belt.
Kuiper Belt.
A new wormhole generator was injected with an infinite amount of energy.
This is not the first-generation wormhole generator, but one that incorporates remote miniature wormhole bridge technology.
It cannot allow large-volume, large-mass targets to jump.
If it is a small-volume, small-mass object, it can be transmitted to a very distant place, enough to achieve a single light-year jump.
The next moment.
Damon, wearing a spacesuit, was sent into the miniature wormhole.
As soon as he entered the wormhole, he disappeared instantly.
