102: Time bridge, warp drive

A commercial vehicle drove into the hangar. As soon as He Ming got into the car, Ji Xue had already found a seat and sat down.

"Why did you come up?"

Ji Xue raised her hand and made a solemn vow.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret. If a second person finds out about the secret here, I'll be punished by never being able to play games again for the rest of my life."

Huh?

He Ming had never heard such a drastic vow before.

Ji Xue looked aggrieved. She felt that this punishment was already very severe, even more severe than taking her life.

"I'll notify the Ji Family to pick her up. You behave yourself."

The vehicle sped all the way into the core building of Xinghai.

After settling Ji Xue, He Ming took the elevator directly to the top floor.

"jarvis, report the current situation."

"Sir, information has been fully contained, and the authorities have imposed full control over the east plaza."

"Delete all my and Ji Xue's online information. Notify Jiang Zhonghua to make sure the employees present keep their mouths shut."

"Yes, sir."

A strange sense of annoyance rose in He Ming's heart. He always felt that something bad was about to happen.

He took out his notebook and quickly wrote down.

"What are the consequences of the mech ascent event in the worst-case scenario?"

The handwriting slowly disappeared, and a short line of text sharply pierced He Ming's eyes.

"4,515,440,013 deaths"

Hmm!

More than four billion people dead?

He Ming gasped, his hair stood on end, and he instantly broke out in goosebumps.

Could it be a nuclear war?

No!

As long as space-based weapons exist, nuclear weapons cannot be launched!

"List the specific events that led to this outcome."

"Simultaneous eruption of submarine volcanoes, triggering tsunamis, heavy rain, climate imbalance, and the spread of large amounts of toxic gases worldwide."

He Ming was even more puzzled. How were these two things connected?

"Why did the submarine volcanoes erupt simultaneously?"

"The geocore resonator was activated."

When He Ming saw this answer, he already had a general idea in his mind.

"At what point in time and by whom was the geocore resonator buried?"

"2217 years ago, Noah Civilization."

He Ming's heart sank. 2217 years ago, wasn't that the time when the Qin Dynasty fell?

After several more rounds of questioning, he finally understood the whole story.

Noah Civilization was invaded and colonized by Hai Star Civilization twenty years ago. The predecessor of Hai Star was actually Noah Star.

The geocore resonator was activated due to the appearance of a 'natural disaster,' which the geocore resonator determined to be a threat to the existence of Noah Civilization.

To prevent the disaster from spreading, the only solution was to dive deep into the ocean and control all the geocore resonators buried by Noah Civilization.

This was not difficult.

The three mechs, 'Black Tortoise,' 'Azure Dragon,' and 'Roc,' could dive deep into the ocean and complete the predetermined operations.

They only needed to connect to the internal interface of the geocore resonator, and with jarvis's ability, it could instantly complete the invasion and modification of the internal program.

The final answer given by the notebook was that the geocore resonator could be fully controlled within five days.

The difficult part was how to properly resolve the aftermath.

Within five days, the subsequent disaster would still be devastating.

Ocean temperatures would rise sharply, especially in volcanic areas. Large amounts of water vapor evaporation would trigger super-heavy rainfall in local areas, and even tsunamis, rendering coastal cities completely useless.

Especially small island nations, if they did not undergo emergency evacuation, it would ultimately lead to their demise.

"jarvis, immediately create an emergency device for connecting to the geocore resonator!"

"Yes, sir."

He Ming rubbed his temples, rapidly deducing a series of problems he would have to face.

Not long after.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowed, and he thought of the most crucial point.

Although this disaster would cause a global economic downturn and a large shortage in resource supply, for the current Blue Star, it might not necessarily be a bad thing!

"How could I forget about this!"

"Materials, energy!!!"

He Ming twirled his pen and quickly wrote on the notebook page.

"Can black technology surpassing the Hai Star fleet be manufactured using the geocore resonator left by Noah Civilization as a base material?"

"Yes."

He Ming quickly twirled the pen in his hand, a slight smile on his lips.

"Based on Blue Star's currently mastered resources and technology, list three technological products that can be manufactured within two years and are most beneficial for confronting the Hai Star fleet."

"Space-Time Bridge, Warp Drive, Anti-Gravity Device."

He Ming's eyes lit up. Warp Drive, he understood that.

A superluminal engine, an essential artifact for interstellar travel!

"What is a Space-Time Bridge?"

"What is the specific function of the Space-Time Bridge? Tell me something I can understand."

"Teleportation gate."

Huh!?

"Teleportation gate?"

He Ming stroked his chin, his eyes gradually brightening.

If a Space-Time Bridge connecting Earth could be set up on the Moon, it would definitely save a lot of time and transportation costs!!!

This meant that Blue Star's overall strength would undergo a qualitative leap in four years.

"Good stuff!"

"Can both Warp Drive and Space-Time Bridge be manufactured simultaneously?"

"Yes."

"Given that one Warp Drive is manufactured, how many Space-Time Bridges can also be manufactured?"

"2."

Upon receiving the answer, He Ming no longer hesitated and had already made a decision in his heart.

Manufacturing a Warp Drive was absolutely necessary; after all, if they couldn't win, they still had a chance to escape.

And the existence of the Space-Time Bridge would accelerate the construction of Blue Star's interstellar power.

"It seems very necessary to enter the instance tonight and take a look at the scenery four years from now."

... space elevator Hub Center, East Plaza.

Three hours had passed since the 'natural disaster' ascent event. The East Plaza was temporarily designated as a tourist resettlement point.

The authorities activated an emergency plan, and tens of thousands of tents were transported to Xinjiang via several large transport aircraft.

Inside the temporary command center tent.

Lu Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and paced back and forth inside the tent.

With such a major incident, he, as the regional head, would definitely not be able to escape. Being dismissed from his post would be considered light. He could only try his best to suppress the subsequent impact to the lowest level.

Suddenly.

A gasp sounded from outside.

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ran out of the tent and just happened to see the 'Black Tortoise' and 'Azure Dragon' mechs take off one after another, soaring into the clouds at an incomprehensible speed.

It's over... He only felt his legs go weak, and he plopped down onto the ground.

"Look over there, the mech models are flying again!"

"Damn, it's such a shame, my phone was confiscated, otherwise I could have shown off big time on my Moments."

"Is Xinghai not planning to act anymore?"

... Ten thousand meters above the ground.

"Mom, look over there, it's Gundam!"

The child sitting by the window had sparkling eyes, pressing his entire face against the glass window, excitedly shouting.

His mother looked around somewhat awkwardly, fearing that it would disturb other passengers.

But she was surprised to find that the passengers by the window on the right side were also pressing their faces against the windows.

Hmm?

She turned her head in confusion, her mouth gradually forming an 'O' shape.
