112: Interstellar Journey

What is going on?

This is the first time this situation has occurred!

He Ming quickly communicated with the omniscient notebook, trying to figure out the key point.

[Why can I not see through these two words?]

[The rules do not permit it.]

[Why do the rules not permit it? Tell me something I can understand.]

[Just like all the rules you established in your inner universe, all things must comply.]

He Ming remained silent for a long time, no longer dwelling on the issue. Thinking too much was simply causing him unnecessary frustration.

He asked the second question he really wanted to know.

[Where does Shui Meng come from?]

[Shuize Star Domain.]

[Is Blue Star within the sphere of influence of the Shuize Star Domain?]

[It is not.]

He Ming raised his eyebrows. Star Domain—this was another completely new term.

[How large is the scope of a Star Domain?]

[As far as the eye can see.]

This answer greatly shocked He Ming.

The extent of what the eye can see is the territorial boundary of the entire Star Domain... This means that the size of the Star Domain entirely depends on how powerful the Star Domain Lord's personal strength is.

"As long as the weaker party is discovered, all that awaits them is enslavement."

"This truly is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

[How large is the sphere of influence of the Shuize Star Domain?]

[5000 light years.]

"If calculated based on the limits of the Solar System in the inner universe, one Star Domain is roughly equivalent to over three thousand Solar Systems."

Upon learning this answer, He Ming suddenly felt that the Hai Star Civilization was nothing more than an interstellar hooligan, completely insignificant.

He Ming did not continue to ask further, as he had already obtained the answers he wanted.

Shui Meng is not a native of Blue Star; she comes from the Shuize Star Domain.

"jarvis, report the current status of Dragon Country."

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, virtual projection screens appeared before He Ming's eyes.

The *Explorer* is already on its way to Jupiter.

The Moon Base already has a rough outline and is fully focused on building defensive capabilities.

Official Armed Forces.

Mass-produced gaming Mecha [Yinglong] Quantity: 15,000 units.

Medium UAV [Jiaolong] Quantity: 100,000 units.

Aerospace Fighter [Xuan Nu] Quantity: 30,000 units.

With a thought, He Ming quickly communicated with the omniscient notebook in his mind.

[Total number of personnel under Dragon Country’s official command whose life index has reached 10,000 points.]

[35321.]

[Total number of personnel who have reached 20,000 points.]

[1501.]

[Total number of personnel who have reached 30,000 points.]

[201.]

[Total number of personnel who have reached 40,000 points.]

[3.]

"jarvis, send the Phase Five foundational cultivation technique to the Seventh Bureau."

"Sir, the information has been sent."

"Send the Phase Four cultivation method to Jiang Zhenhai."

"The information has been sent."

He Ming glanced at the smart bracelet on his wrist, casually took it off, and tossed it aside.

His current cultivation level could no longer be simply quantified by the life index; a brand new intelligent tool for calculating realms needed to be created.

With a thought, a black light shot out from his glabella and landed on his hand.

"Convenient."

He tried communicating using his mind. Without needing to write, the question automatically appeared on the blank page.

[Help me design a smart bracelet with a power level classification system. It must be the simplest and easiest to understand.]

As the text of the question vanished, dense code data appeared.

"jarvis, scan the data and produce the finished product as soon as possible."

"Understood, Sir."

He Ming stretched, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and scanned the circular structure of the Starport.

Compared to six months ago, the Starport's construction was basically complete. Large numbers of tourists filled almost every street, with foreign visitors making up the majority.

The powerful figures and wealthy merchants who had invested large sums of money to buy land initially were finally seeing rapid capital return.

And this money would quickly flow back into Dragon Country.

The reason is that Dragon Country's rare earth smelting technology is at the world's top level, accounting for nearly 95% of the market share.

After obtaining the finished products, these people would then give the resources to Star Sea.

Mass-produced Mecha, flint modules, carbon nanotube t-4, starfall gene potion... These high-end products only accept resource exchange.

A complete industrial chain, secretly promoted by He Ming, was nearing maturity.

"Have the spaceship and the Space-Time Bridge been built?"

He Ming turned sideways, and a projection screen appeared before his eyes.

A triangular-shaped spacecraft was docked inside the hangar of the *Pioneer* Space Base. It looked only slightly larger than an RV.

"It's this small?"

"Sir, based on the materials we melted down from the geocore resonator, the size of this spacecraft has been controlled to its limit."

"What about the Space-Time Bridge?"

The virtual projection screen shifted to another hangar, where two circular pedestals stood silently. Their appearance was extremely ordinary.

"What is the maximum travel distance of this thing?"

"10 light years."

"The distance is sufficient. I remember there is a resource planet nearby colonized by Hai Star."

"It is approximately 7.476 light years from Blue Star, formerly known as Beastman Star."

"Hai Star's defense forces consist of only three thousand life units, and these three thousand units are evenly distributed near the major tribes."

"How long will it take for our spacecraft to reach Beastman Star?"

"A year and a half."

"The time is sufficient, so let's depart."

"The vehicle is ready."

An autonomous vehicle stopped at the Star Sea internal exclusive passage. He Ming got out of the car and entered the single cabin of the space elevator.

The elevator quickly ascended, and the buildings on the ground rapidly shrank.

Although the speed was extremely fast, there was no significant pressure felt inside the elevator cabin; it was no different from taking a normal elevator.

When the elevator passed through the stratosphere and entered outer space.

He Ming looked out the west window. This was his first time seeing the scenery of outer space. It was somewhat different from what he had imagined; in the endless dark void, there were only a few scattered points of light.

Sunlight shone on the window on the other side, making it somewhat dazzling.

Looking downwards, the azure blue planet grew farther away and became clearer.

Starlight flickered in He Ming's eyes as his gaze turned toward the Moon, which seemed close enough to touch.

On the rugged surface of the Moon, large transport vehicles loaded with soil drove into the base.

Under jarvis's control, intelligent robotic arms were frantically busy but maintained perfect order.

Ding.

The elevator finally arrived at the top-level intelligent platform.

The hatch opened, and He Ming stepped out.

Looking around, the control panels were manned by intelligent robots wearing Star Sea standard uniforms.

An intelligent robot stood up, jogged over to He Ming, and began leading the way.

Passing through the corridor connecting to the *Pioneer* Space Base, He Ming quickened his pace. The metal hatch automatically opened under jarvis's control.

When he arrived at the core hangar, He Ming stopped.

Rows of Fourth Generation Mecha were neatly arranged. Their models and styles were diverse, and their paint colors were vibrant.

Unlike the ordinary mass-produced models, these Mecha were custom-made for players ranking high on the star sea knight: enlightenment ladder. They looked exactly as they did in the game, even down to the customized graffiti.

Of course, only those whose life index could reach 40,000 points before the arrival of Hai Star received this treatment.

This group of people constituted the backbone force against the Hai Star fleet. As long as they could break into the Hai Star vessels, the Hai Star people would be met by humanoid Gundams that were not much weaker than Mecha but significantly more flexible.
