232: Set off! Interstellar voyage! (Third update)

"System, is my current energy sufficient to cross such a vast distance?"

Despite his excitement, Lin Yang still thought of a more realistic problem.

"Host, rest assured, your current energy reserves are sufficient. Don't forget, the eight large transport spacecraft are fully loaded with energy, which can be extracted and used!"

"Oh, oh, I almost forgot!" Lin Yang slapped his forehead.

He had been so excited by the System's words that he had subconsciously overlooked the fact that he had just acquired a large amount of spoils.

Then, Lin Yang said somewhat impatiently, "When do we depart for the Red Thunder Empire?"

"Answering Host, the sooner the better. After all, Solo's elder brother might arrive at any time. As long as you are ready, you can depart at any time!"

"Ready? I don't think I have anything to prepare, do I?" Lin Yang muttered.

"Answering Host, if you feel you are ready, then you can depart immediately for the Red Thunder Empire."

"Then let's go. The sooner we go, the sooner we return!" Lin Yang said.

"Okay, Host, the interstellar navigation route has been loaded for you. Please enter the Apocalypse."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang immediately summoned the Apocalypse.

However, just before takeoff, he suddenly thought of an important question: "Wait, System, how long will this round trip take?"

"Answering Host, if energy consumption is not considered, the Apocalypse's Super Stellar Cruising Mode can be activated. The round trip will take approximately one and a half months."

"One and a half months? Such a long distance only takes one and a half months? Then it took Solo and them more than two months to arrive before. Doesn't that mean they shouldn't have been within the Galaxy's range at that time?" Lin Yang was stunned.

He felt that the System's words, when combined, seemed a bit contradictory.

The System had previously said that Solo and them were able to receive and intercept the signal sent by Unpretty because they were within the Galaxy.

But now, judging from the speed and distance, it seemed not quite right.

"Host, that is not the case. The Apocalypse is a very high-end comprehensive spacecraft, which even ordinary Level 3 civilizations cannot possess. After activating the Super Stellar Cruising Mode, its speed will be much faster than the fastest warship in Solo's fleet. Your judgment based purely on time is incorrect."

"Uh... alright, then let's not bother with these. Let's go." Lin Yang waved his hand, completely giving up on thinking further.

"Okay, Host, the target interstellar coordinates have been locked, the interstellar route has been planned, and the Apocalypse's Stellar Cruising Mode is activating. Please sit tight and fasten your seatbelt."

Lin Yang: "..."

Damn it.

This darn System has become a flight attendant?

Watching the Apocalypse ascend, Lin Yang suddenly shouted again, "Wait a minute! This trip will take one and a half months. I need to inform my family and my mother. Otherwise, if I disappear for over a month and they can't reach me, they'll surely be worried sick!"

He had been so focused on his excitement earlier that he almost forgot this most important matter!

"Okay, Host, Stellar Cruising Mode has been terminated. You can make a call to Blue Star."

"..." Lin Yang directly dialed Zhao Zizhen's private number.

The call was answered instantly, and before Zhao Zizhen could speak, Lin Yang quickly said:

"Dean Zhao, I need to tell you something. I have an urgent matter that requires me to go on a long trip, which will take about a month or so. During this time, you might not be able to reach me, but don't worry, I won't have any problems."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Zizhen was stunned to suddenly hear such news and subconsciously said, "Lin, Lin, Classmate, what is it that you have to go on a long trip for, and for so long, and even be unreachable?"

"This... is temporarily confidential." Lin Yang used his usual tactic again.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask then. But will you be safe on this trip? Do you need us to send some people to protect you?" Zhao Zizhen recovered and said with concern.

"No need." Lin Yang shook his head and continued, "Dean Zhao, if my family calls, just tell them I'm conducting in-depth research and won't be able to contact the outside world for over a month, and that they shouldn't worry."

He called Zhao Zizhen first to communicate with him.

Otherwise, his mother would definitely worry if she couldn't reach him for over a month.

"Uh... okay!" This time it was Zhao Zizhen's turn to be stunned, but he quickly agreed.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sir."

Lin Yang thanked him and hung up the phone.

Then he dialed his mother's number, but stopped halfway through, thought for a moment, and changed to a message, sending a voice message telling his mother that he was going to conduct project research and would be unreachable for over a month, asking her not to worry.

After sending the message, he directly turned off his phone.

If he called, his mother would definitely nag him for a while.

Then he instructed Butler One to monitor the situation on Blue Star at all times, and to help out if the country encountered any problems.

After arranging everything, Lin Yang spoke again, "System, let's go!"

"Okay, Host, Stellar Cruising Mode is restarting."

The System responded, and then the Apocalypse, after a few seconds of acceleration, turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the Solar System.

Watching the gradually shrinking Blue Star and the scorching Sun, Lin Yang felt it was magnificent.

This was his first time seeing Blue Star and the Solar System from such an angle.

"By the way, Host, the System also needs to remind you of something. The System has monitored that Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce have claimed the wreckage of the two exploration ships from Solo's fleet that you destroyed. They are highly likely to obtain new advanced technology and resources from them. Please be aware."

"...Damn it, those two countries really know how to seize opportunities, and they're bold enough. These were shot down by me, strictly speaking, they are my spoils. How dare they just take them?"

Lin Yang couldn't help but curse, then said speechlessly, "Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, I would have gone to those two countries before departing and taken the wreckage of the exploration ships. I can't let them benefit!"

Although the wreckage of the two exploration ships had little utilitarian value to him, for Unpretty and them, they were very precious things.

Of course, even if they took them, they couldn't cause any major trouble, but having his spoils taken by them still made Lin Yang quite unhappy.

"Apologies, Host, the System will record this error and will strive to provide even better service to Host in the future!"

"..." Lin Yang rolled his eyes.

He always felt that this darn System was doing it on purpose.

However, before he could think much, he heard the System speak again:

"Please note, Host, the System is about to issue your reward for destroying Solo's fleet. Please check your inbox."

This sudden remark made Lin Yang pause again: "There's a reward for destroying Solo?"

Three consecutive updates, please give me a ticket...
