673: Entering Jade Again, Lao Bai Refusing to Give Up

Emerald Dragon Star.

As Yang Dian stepped out of the Space Gate, after more than two years of development in Earth time, ubiquitous nano-electronic bugs locked onto Yang Dian's position.

Then, the Zero Control Smart Bracelet projected an arrow in front of Yang Dian, pointing directly to the last fallen Imperial City of the Human Race, which was where Ku Li Pa was restrained.

After some thought, Yang Dian was not in a hurry to find Ku Li Pa.

That kid had dozens of confidantes.

Humans, elves, humanoids, near-humans, anthropomorphic—all kinds of appearances.

Even the Centaur Chieftain, with a human torso and a horse's lower body, was quite comely.

He enjoyed himself for so long, what's wrong with being hung on the city gate tower and suffering a bit?

Pushing Ku Li Pa out back then was to stir up trouble on Emerald Dragon Star to find the location of the Dimension Channel.

Now that the plan has been achieved, the natural course of action is to first find the Dimension Channel.

Casually bringing up the map of Emerald Dragon Star, annotated by Zero, and looking at the large and small X's on the map, Yang Dian couldn't help but rub his temples.

He had searched for the Dimension Channel on Emerald Dragon Star before.

However, the Dimension Channel on Emerald Dragon Star was hidden a bit too deeply, and he couldn't find it.

Of course, there might be another reason.

Directing his gaze to the only place on the map he hadn't searched, Yang Dian looked up, oriented himself, and flew towards the central part of Emerald Continent.

'The Dimension Channel should be there, right?'

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian tapped his bracelet twice, and then a starship, so vast it blotted out the sky, slowly materialized from nothingness beneath Yang Dian's feet.

The Hao Ri-class star destroyer, designed by Lao Bai and optimized into a small star destroyer.

Yang Dian had taken the opportunity to get it from Lao Bai before entering Emerald Dragon Star.

After optimization, the star destroyer was 73 kilometers long, 23 kilometers wide, and 18 kilometers high, with an overall elliptical shape.

It possessed 2 main cannons and 198 secondary cannons.

After charging, a single shot from a main cannon could destroy a small planet with a diameter of 8,000 kilometers.

After charging, a single shot from a secondary cannon could destroy a small satellite with a diameter of 800 kilometers.

For a planet like Earth, the star destroyer, at full power, wouldn't need much time to turn it into cosmic dust.

Of course, the premise was that Yang Dian did not intervene, allowing the star destroyer to charge and attack.

"Zero, take the star destroyer to that Maple-something City. Don't let those giant Dragons actually kill my little brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the star destroyer hovering beneath Yang Dian's feet lit up with countless incandescent lights.

Then, ripples spread through the surrounding planetary magnetic field.

Amidst a series of electromagnetic static noises, the star destroyer broke through the white clouds and flew towards Maple Leaf City, the last fallen Imperial City of the Emerald Humans.

Watching the star destroyer become a black dot in the distant sky, Yang Dian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Lao Bai is still outrageous."

"How long has it been? Even the star destroyer has been optimized."

"Aside from not having a space jump device or a warp drive engine, this small star destroyer is probably optimized to its limit, right?"

"Maximum charging time for the main cannon is 8 minutes, maximum charging time for the secondary cannon is 45 seconds…"

"Tsk, I'm somewhat looking forward to how powerful the main and secondary cannons will be when firing simultaneously."

Yang Dian was marveling at Lao Bai's outrageousness.

Mars Base, in the super-large cultivation pod.

Lao Bai, who was following Yang Dian's actions through the images captured by the nano-electronic bugs, couldn't help but feel a twitch in his cerebral cortex.

"I'm outrageous?"

"For the sake of advancing technology, I'm practically just a brain left."

"Why doesn't this kid look at how outrageous he is?"

"He's only been practicing martial arts for a few years and already possesses planet-exploding strength."

"He's been gone for so long this time, who knows how much his strength has improved?"

"Tai Chu, tell me, is it me who's outrageous, or him?"

Tai Chu, projected beside Dr. Bai's brain, and, through Lao Bai's efforts, already extremely close to intelligent life, needing only the right moment to become a true life, blinked her eyes and, after compiling the known information, said:

"Looking at the tens of thousands of civilization histories we've collected, both you and General Yang are special."

"In the civilization histories of other civilizations, there has never been an existence like you and General Yang, who, in just a few years, created star destroyer-level starships and possessed individuals with planet-exploding strength."

"Of course, this might also just be because the civilization information we've collected is too little."

"Perhaps in the Universe, there exist various races that possess planet-exploding strength from birth."

"For example, Star Gods."

Hearing Tai Chu's answer, the purple cerebral cortex twitched twice.

Then Dr. Bai's slightly emotional voice followed:

"To say we grew together, in reality, I was still carried by him."

"Even now, I haven't found a way to make technological items traverse space nodes."

"Without him, we wouldn't have been able to completely conquer Lizardmen Alien Planet, turning the entire Lizardmen Alien Planet into our Blessed Land, and obtaining a large amount of basic resources."

"Without him, I wouldn't have so many Materials in my hands, enough for me to build thousands of star destroyers."

"Without him, I wouldn't have been able to obtain so much alien civilization data, and the process of advancing technology certainly wouldn't have been so smooth."

Hearing Lao Bai's lament, Tai Chu couldn't help but say:

"Doctor, you don't need to belittle yourself."

"No matter how powerful General Yang is, he is only one person."

"And you, you have the entire Huaxia technological System as your support."

"Before this, you might have relied on General Yang's help to quickly climb technology to this level."

"But after this, as long as you research a space jump System or warp drive engine that can send countless starships into deep space to explore the Universe, then it will be your turn to collect vast resources and give back to Huaxia or help General Yang improve his strength."

As Tai Chu's words fell, the previously somewhat furrowed cortex of the giant purple brain immediately relaxed.

"That's true."

"At the end of the day, he is only one person."

"How can he compare to me controlling countless starships to explore the Universe and collect resources?"

Thinking this, Dr. Bai no longer paid attention to Yang Dian's actions on Emerald Dragon Star.

The strongest on Emerald Dragon Star, Emerald Dragon God Stia, was only of Star Dome Realm strength.

With this strength, he could simply send a star destroyer over to blast her, so nothing unexpected would happen.

"Give me more time."

"I already have a general idea for the space jump device; give me three more months, and I can perfect it."

"Oh, right, Lao Yang seems to have found a Space Silkworm that can use spatial power."

"When he returns, I'll ask him for the Space Silkworm to use. Perhaps it can give me different inspirations and accelerate my progress in designing the space jump device."

In his murmuring, Lao Bai's only remaining purple brain began to pulse rhythmically, expanding and contracting…
