166: Warp drive ignited, we will surpass the speed of light!

When Lu Chen’s ultimate self-mockery—the phrase "poor child" filled with the rules of the "dark forest" and tragic resolve—clearly echoed in the main control room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, heavenly craft, the super brain composed of infinite data, once again fell into a prolonged

silence.

She stared blankly at her young master, who clearly possessed god-like power yet still maintained the humility and reverence of a mortal.

Those brilliant, intelligent eyes were filled with incomparable adoration and affection!

She knew.

She had not followed the wrong person.

This youth, who seemed somewhat cunning, indifferent, and even a bit of a miser.

His heart held the future of the entire civilization.

One month later.

The silver-white "Heavenly Court" Interstellar Spaceport on the Moon, filled with violent aesthetics.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like water could drip out!

Long Weiguo, Ye Qingcang, and all the highest-level bigwigs gathered here!

There was no trace of fatigue on their faces!

Only the fervor and pride of witnessing history in the making!

Right in front of them.

A gigantic, silver-white, teardrop-shaped interstellar spaceship, full of sci-fi flair and futuristic atmosphere, large enough to rival an aircraft carrier!

Was silently suspended in the cold, dead, dark space!

It was—the expedition!

The first truly interstellar exploration vessel in human history!

And today.

It would carry the hopes and dreams of the entire human civilization!

To embark on its first maiden voyage!

"Esteemed leaders."

Lu Chen was still wearing his simple white research uniform.

His face still wore that harmless, innocent smile.

As if this "Creation of God," enough to drive the whole world mad.

Was, in his eyes, just a rather interesting large toy.

"I know everyone is very concerned about the actual performance of our 'new friend'."

"Therefore,"

"Without further ado."

"Let's just,"

"Make it fly and see."

He extended a finger and lightly tapped the sci-fi personal terminal on his wrist, custom-made for him by heavenly craft.

The next second!

"Ooooom—!!!"

A dull yet solemn roar, full of futuristic technological flair, resonated throughout the silent space!

The spindle-shaped Warp Engine, full of streamlined beauty, located in the center of the hull of the expedition, which was quietly suspended mid-air, instantly lit up with a brilliant ring of seven-colored

halo!

An invisible, powerful force capable of warping space and time, a terrifying

force field!

Instantly enveloped the entire spaceship!

All the bigwigs present felt as if the space around them had been violently kneaded by an invisible giant hand!

Becoming incredibly viscous, and

distorted!

"G-God above!"

A young technician's legs gave way, and he slumped directly onto the floor!

His face was filled with unprecedented, ghost-seeing

terror!

And fear!

Meanwhile, Lu Chen acted as if he had just done a trivial thing.

He looked at the bigwigs who were completely stunned and smiled faintly.

Then, he issued the final

command to his personal terminal!

"expedition."

"Warp Engine, ignition!"

"Target: Mars!"

"We,"

"Depart!"

The moment his voice fell!

"Whoosh—!!!"

A jarring, terrifying shriek that tore through space!

shriek!

That silver-white, teardrop-shaped phantom!

Instantly transformed into a seven-colored streak of light, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!

streak of light!

In a terrifying manner that surpassed the speed of light, incomprehensible to any human,

manner!

Vanished into the boundless, deep, dark

cosmos

!

"Th-th-this..."

Pointing at the empty, pitch-black starry sky on the screen!

His lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence!

His heart, which had long been tempered by every kind of storm and wave until it was as solid as bedrock!

At this moment, disgracefully, began to wildly

pound!

He knew!

From this moment on!

That speed-of-light

barrier!

Was utterly

broken by that young Eastern god,

in the most arrogant and unreasonable way!

And, at this moment.

Thousands of miles away.

The Western Alliance, White House.

Burns and a group of Western Alliance bigwigs were watching, with schadenfreude, through top-secret spy satellites, the ridiculous "interstellar parade" by Huaxia, which they believed was doomed to fail.

"interstellar parade."

"Heh heh, did you see that?"

Burns pointed at the motionless silver-white "lump of iron" on the screen, a cold sneer twisting his lips.

"I told you Huaxia people were just bluffing."

"A Warp Engine, really?"

"I think it's more like a Fire Poker engine, right?"

"Sir,"

Just then, a technician responsible for monitoring spatial fluctuations suddenly shot up from his chair as if he had seen a ghost!

He pointed at the blood-red spatial curvature curve on the screen, which instantly broke through all limits!

His voice was trembling!

"N-not good!"

"Lunar orbit!"

"An unprecedented, terrifying superluminal energy reaction has been detected!"

"Its speed,"

"Has far exceeded all theoretical limits in our database!"

"According to preliminary calculations,"

"It has already reached..."

He took a deep breath and spoke word by word in a voice that was almost a trance:

"Ten times the speed of light!"
