185: Chapter 185 Interstellar Development, Changes, and Missions
More than a dozen teenagers, each with a vitality level of no less than 2, used their own faint True Qi to activate low-grade artifacts in their hands, firing shots at target dummies with power rivaling conventional thermal weapons.
"Pah! Pah!"
Some of the best among them even caused the practice arrows to explode upon hitting the targets, as the arrows could not withstand the high energy.
After class, Mo Yuemei appeared outside the training room. Seeing Coach Chen, whose vitality level had reached level 5, she smiled and extended an invitation.
"Uncle Chen, Captain Wang is inviting us over. Would you like to come?"
Coach Chen looked at Mo Yuemei, whose vitality level had reached level 10. Even though she was restraining her aura, he could still feel immense pressure, so he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Why should I join in on a gathering of you top-tier powerhouses? Ever since my vitality level reached level 5 over these past ten years, I haven't been able to cultivate Wondrous Qi no matter what I try. I've given up on the pursuit of breaking through further. Instead, I hope our boy can see the scenery up there for me."
Mo Yuemei was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then encouraged him, saying, "It will happen. I heard that Chen Xin's vitality level has already reached level 8, almost catching up to those of us who have received significant training from the company."
Hearing Mo Yuemei's praise, a look of pride appeared in Coach Chen's eyes, and he then said, "You should go. Give my regards to Captain Wang."
"Alright."
Immediately, Mo Yuemei walked out of the archery skills training center, boarded an anti-gravity flying car artifact placed to the side, and headed straight south.
After reaching an altitude of 10,000 meters, the flying car artifact entered a rapid transit lane constructed from array domains.
This rapid transit lane had already been cleared of air to reach a vacuum state, resulting in minimal resistance. In this environment, the anti-gravity flying car's speed rapidly soared to 10 times the speed of sound, arriving at the Australian continent in less than half an hour.
Mo Yuemei piloted the anti-gravity flying car out of the rapid transit lane, and the scenery that had previously been obscured came into view.
The center of the Australian continent was filled with dense, towering buildings thousands of meters high that spanned the sky.
They were like countless stone forests standing side by side, piercing the heavens.
Countless fluctuations from artifacts, spiritual light array domains, and array restrictions emanated from these buildings.
Unlike ordinary modern architecture, every large building here was a super-large artifact-class structure possessing the spiritual light of laws.
They were comprehensive buildings that integrated experimentation, cultivation, breeding, practice, commerce, and office space.
Each thousand-meter-tall building radiated the aura of an extraordinary low-grade artifact, and the energy concentration inside them had even exceeded level 10.
Mo Yuemei piloted the anti-gravity flying car artifact, marveling at the sight, "Even after seeing it so many times, I am still amazed by these magnificent buildings and this metropolis."
Before long, a young man riding a longsword-type artifact also emerged from the high-altitude rapid transit lane and greeted her, "Captain Mo, still watching? It's almost time for the meeting."
Mo Yuemei recognized the voice immediately; it was Ye Xingchen, who served alongside her as a captain of the elite squad at Changnan Interstellar Exploration Technology Co., Ltd.
Hearing this, Mo Yuemei glanced at the time on the flying car; there was still half an hour left before the meeting.
She glared fiercely at Ye Xingchen, seemingly telling him not to disturb her appreciation of this extraordinary interstellar city.
After watching silently for a while, Mo Yuemei ignored Ye Xingchen, who wanted to say more, and piloted the anti-gravity flying car toward a giant tower building a thousand meters high on the edge of the inner circle.
Passing by buildings with giant screens, they displayed recent policies and plans released by the Blue Star Human Federation.
"After 10 years of construction on the extraordinary interstellar city, the infrastructure capable of accommodating a population of 100 million has basically been completed."
"We, the Blue Star Human Federation, have fully absorbed all relevant technologies. Currently, the second phase of the extraordinary city project is under construction, with the goal of expanding into a giant extraordinary city capable of accommodating over 2 billion people."
"The Supreme Council has approved the planetary transformation project."
"The goal is to create an all-encompassing Vital Qi ecological environment on Mars and Venus, cultivate more extraordinary spirit beasts and spirit plants, and enrich and expand the living space and extraordinary resources of human civilization."
"This project is expected to be completed within 50 years, providing sufficient materials and funding for the large-scale interstellar migration of our human civilization in 490 years."
"Wehua Company, Changnan Interstellar, China Aviation Group, Shenzhou Mining, Shenjing Ecology, and Tianhe Spaceship Group have already undertaken parts of this project."
Ten minutes later, the flying artifacts of Mo Yuemei and Ye Xingchen stopped at the rooftop platform of the building labeled Changnan Interstellar Exploration Technology Co., Ltd.
Apart from the two of them, General Manager Hu Yingxiong, Xu Feng, and Liu Tingquan were already waiting there.
The aura of the three of them was not weak at all; they were all at level 7 or 8 vitality, and Liu Tingquan had even reached level 10.
Their appearances hadn't changed much; even Manager Hu, who previously looked like a man in his forties, was increasingly looking like a young man in his twenties or thirties.
Mo Yuemei and Ye Xingchen greeted everyone quite familiarly.
"Manager Hu, what is the matter that you called us here? We are still on vacation, and you won't even let us have some peace."
"Captain Mo, let's wait until everyone has arrived, and I will explain it then."
Within a few minutes, the three captains—Xingyi Quan Grandmaster Ye Tian, Chen Yanshan, and Qi Tianheng—had all arrived.
Summoning the captains of the top 5 squads all at once made everyone feel that something big was about to happen.
Seeing that the 5 captains, who had already gone deep on the path to level 10 and might even have touched upon the extraordinary, were all present, Manager Hu tapped the ring-shaped communicator on his hand.
A holographic projection of the Incarnation of Captain Wang Quan appeared in the air. Looking at the team members who were there during the initial meteorite fall, the Incarnation felt a sense of nostalgia and then said,
"My friends, team members, I have called you together today to announce something."
"I will be stepping down from all my positions at Changnan Interstellar, having accepted an important commission from the Supreme Council. I may not see you again for a long time. The subsequent work will be taken over by Ling Ming."
This news hit the captains like a bombshell.
Although Captain Wang had achieved the extraordinary a few years ago and was no longer in the same world as them, even after becoming extraordinary, he had not stepped down as the security chief of Changnan Interstellar. He just appeared much less frequently, mostly handling things through communication.
They hadn't expected this to be the situation when they were called here.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the Incarnation of Captain Wang Quan said, "If you can stand out from this mission and prove yourselves as extraordinary, I believe we will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."
