Chapter 1623: Chapter 612: Arrival
The Red Blade Army once again jumped out of subspace and became entangled in a fierce battle with the space creature corps that came to block them in three-dimensional space.
The situation looks no different from before, but the time window left for the Red Blade Army is actually only five years.
From an economic point of view, this operation by the Red Blade Army is meaningless. A short span of five years is not enough to accumulate many dark matter energy batteries, nor can production capacity climb to its peak. Counting the consumption needed to face the enemy, it may even be hard to break even.
No one knows what Ren Zhong is thinking.
The Ascenders believe that the Red Blade Army is finally experiencing an energy crisis and is forced to take risks, seeing this as an opportunity to further weaken the Red Blade Army by compressing its energy reserves.
The Mechanical Empire core, on the other hand, received a clear statement from Ren Zhong, who told Jin Shi, "I’m preparing to escape."
Jin Shi was shocked but still truthfully reported Ren Zhong’s response to the Empire core.
This made many high-level officials in the Empire core secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and even the Duke Affairs Department and Administrative Department have begun to negotiate allocating a new fiefdom for the Red Blade Marquis in the Empire Central Star Domain.
Ivan Romanov’s reaction was not as quick as before, seeming puzzled for a while, but he eventually responded quickly, and with the Intelligence Directorate, provided information support to the Red Blade Army, helping Ren Zhong plan a theoretically most reliable escape route.
Unlike before, this time Ren Zhong did not drive the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor out to fight, but stayed honestly in the depths of the fleet formation.
He is leading the Red Blade Science Academy in technological breakthroughs.
This time the breakthrough’s difficulty is rather low, merely designing a complete set of high-efficiency transformation plans for planet ships, fortress ships, and medium to large ships.
But due to the urgency, Ren Zhong decided to personally lead the effort and take charge.
...
Ren Zhong’s feelings towards the Mechanical Empire have always been very complex.
He loathes the rules of the Mechanical Empire because it’s not the correct world his growth environment taught him.
But in this vast universe, in the unfamiliar Sloan Great Wall and Ancient Disk Galaxy, only within the Mechanical Empire are there relatively familiar native humans.
The Source Star humans are descendants of synthetic colonists, but they also became his new compatriots in his rebirth.
His last family.
There are good people in the empire, and there are bad people too.
But at least the humans of the empire are still human.
Ren Zhong has already lost the first half of his life and does not want to lose the latter half.
So, regardless of his initial intentions and motives, he is now ultimately fighting for the empire, for the native humans.
...
Unlike the past, this time when facing the Ascenders’ persistent pressure, the Red Blade Army did not just retract their defenses, but bravely mobilized a number of super-grade warriors reaching a trillion, using these super-grade warriors as core combat strength, constantly creating damage, firmly holding the front, and creating a spherical cosmic vacuum zone with a radius exceeding a billion kilometers deep within their own lines.
Ren Zhong stands on the bridge of the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor, staring into the void ahead.
Beside him is a spatial 3D projection.
In that projection, it shows the current formation of the Red Blade Army.
On the outer side of the formation, red and green light points flicker, representing billions of people in a life-and-death battle with the Ascenders’ space creature corps.
In this chaotic battlefield, however, a green phantom traces a faint arc, breaking through the space.
Within the structure of three-dimensional space, this green phantom continues to traverse the battle lines, occasionally intersecting coordinates with large space creatures and Red Blade battleships but without collision.
Clearly, the green phantom is located in subspace, not within three-dimensional space.
But this arc is not in the Mechanical Empire’s fold jump subspace channel network schematic.
Originally, there was no road here; it was forced open by the green phantom.
"It’s coming. Almost here."
Ju Qingmeng murmured, slightly excited.
Next to Ju Qingmeng, Ma Xiaoling spoke to herself, "This time, you shouldn’t continue to let others down."
She was referring to Chen Hanyu’s matter.
Behind Ren Zhong, there was a humanoid creature with a face full of tree-like wrinkles.
He did not speak, only stared at the phantom equally.
He had long since changed, and his non-human heart accelerated quietly.
This humanoid creature is the first armored soldier of the Red Blade Clan, rarely seen by the members, almost the last super-grade armored soldier of the clan, Shi Lin.
With the technological route’s transformation, armored soldiers gradually lost their stage within the Red Blade Clan.
Most people chose to take the path of becoming mechanical warriors, or transitioning to become fighter pilots and shipborne soldiers.
Only when the growth of a mechanical warrior’s strength hits a bottleneck would they occasionally choose to colonize a part of their body to reluctantly break through the bottleneck.
But choosing colonization means the potential is exhausted.
Shi Lin is almost without successors.
But he doesn’t care.
After inheriting Bai Feng’s ability, Shi Lin also considered himself a part of the original Zheng Tian team.
By now, Shi Lin is the only one left in the Red Blade Army.
Today’s Shi Lin doesn’t have so many emotional fluctuations, but occasionally he would think of the past, thinking of his father Shi Xuan, thinking of the other teenager he once instantly befriended – Yujin.
My friend, how are you now?
Suddenly, the cosmic vacuum in the center of the army formation transmitted violent energy vibrations.
Ren Zhong and others tightened their spirits.
It’s coming, it’s about to arrive.
In the next second, intense light suddenly illuminated the void.
After the light dissipated, a ring of light suddenly appeared.
The Red Blade Army and the surrounding Ascenders were all taken aback.
There’s no entrance to a fold jump subspace channel here.
What’s going on?
Ren Zhong first issued a command to the entire clan, instructing them not to panic.
Ren Zhong said, "Another branch of the Red Blade clan is coming to join us."
Including Han Zhixin, many were puzzled, wondering when there was such a wandering tribe.
How did this forcibly opened subspace channel tearing through the void come about?
What level of technology is this?
On the other hand, with Ren Zhong’s permission, Sun Ai finally began spreading the news, unveiling the true face of Source Star hidden behind the First Internal Affairs Research Institute to the clan.
The Red Blade clan was shocked on all sides.
So, this is it.
Especially those scientific researchers who had received long-term remote assistance from the Source Star Science Academy were dumbfounded.
No wonder they always found some words that could prompt thoughts and inspire creativity while researching.
No wonder their project groups would silently and suddenly progress in research.
Turns out, we’ve never fought alone.
At our homeland, there’s always someone watching and fighting alongside us.
At this moment, a blue planet flashing faint blue light on the surface, shrouded in a giant membrane, suddenly rushed out of the ring.
Source Star has arrived.
