182: Chapter 182 Faster-than-light travel

However, this method of entering Subspace for Faster-than-light Travel is different from a Space Jump.

With a Space Jump, if you jump directly out of the Solar System, you won't be detected by Advanced Civilizations, but entering Subspace to break out of the Solar System will definitely be noticed.

Future World was previously detected by Advanced Civilizations because they performed Space Jumps within the Solar System, which led to their discovery and the subsequent locking of the Space Laws.

Su Dai didn't know what it would be like if he tried to break out this time.

Would he be discovered? And would the rest of humanity be implicated because of it?

Su Dai couldn't back down now; the arrow was on the string and had to be fired!

The group of scientists looked solemn.

"Young Master Su, pre-ignition preparations are underway!"

"Good!"

"Young Master Su, once ignited, it cannot be stopped. If it fails, I'm afraid..."

Su Dai understood the meaning; if it failed, he would die.

"Don't worry, I trust you!"

"Okay, the system is performing final checks! Young Master Su, the Human Gene Bank has been loaded onto the battleship! Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

...

Ignite!

With a roar, all of Triton suddenly trembled. A massive hole appeared in its center, and at the heart of that hole was Su Dai's super-sun class battleship—this most advanced human vessel carried the hopes of the Su Family and all of humanity.

The massive energy released by Antimatter Annihilation was instantly transformed into electricity. A huge current surged through Triton, and the strongest magnetic field in human history was created in the hole at the moon's center.

Su Dai closed his eyes, silently counting the time.

"3, 2, 1..."

As Su Dai finished the countdown, the battleship's surface instantly turned red—a sign that the engines were being pushed to their absolute limit.

Su Dai was wearing a protective suit. Driven by the powerful magnetic field, the battleship flew toward Neptune. At that moment, Neptune's Gravitational Field collapsed, and a Curved Space appeared around the planet...

A battleship swept across this curved surface...

Su Dai looked at the instruments in front of him...

Suddenly, his body felt weightless, and it felt as if time itself had stood still. Su Dai instantly fell into a state of stasis...

He lost all consciousness.

Triton was about to shatter into pieces, but none of the scientists on it panicked...

Everyone watched the instruments before them.

Until a series of zeros appeared on the screens!

The super-sun class battleship had disappeared!

At that moment, the entirety of Triton was silently turning into countless fragments, caused by the high-energy rays released by Antimatter Annihilation.

The scientists would also be torn to pieces, but no one cared...

Their faces were filled with excitement. It worked!

Only Faster-than-light Travel could achieve such a "disappearance"!

Even light couldn't catch up, so naturally, it couldn't be tracked. This also meant that the experiment they had researched for hundreds of years was successful on its very first flight.

True FTL travel achieved stealth within the universe. These scientists believed Su Dai would definitely make it out, find another habitable planet for humans, and then revive humanity.

Even if this world was destroyed, humanity would be reborn on other planets. Su Dai was their hope.

Carrying human technology and the Human Gene Bank, he would rebuild an even stronger and more powerful human civilization... If the humans in the Solar System survived long enough, they might even see Su Dai leading a fleet back to strike!

...

Gao Yuan arrived at Vesta and parked his battleship in the air. He entered a Single-pilot Combat Mecha and then opened the Space-Time Gate.

Passing through the Space-Time Gate...

Gao Yuan saw that Vesta was desolate; the previous mining area had been abandoned.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

While Gao Yuan was still dazed, the mecha suddenly received a communication request.

"Connect!"

Then, the figure of a female soldier appeared before Gao Yuan.

"Excuse me, is this Director Gao?"

"It's me!"

"Please enable Identity Chip permissions..."

Gao Yuan then granted the permissions.

Soon, the screen changed, and Gao Qiu appeared before Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan looked at Gao Qiu's image, observing him closely.

"Stop staring, it's really me this time! Did you bring the supplies?"

"Yes... I brought them!"

Gao Yuan said.

"I'll open a Supply Channel; transport the water and air inside!"

"Okay..."

Gao Yuan returned to the Real World and brought the battleship over. At that moment, a hole appeared on the surface of Vesta.

Gao Yuan dropped all the supplies directly into the hole.

"Fly the battleship out, then you come in!"

Gao Yuan understood Gao Qiu's meaning; this was likely to avoid the battleship attracting the attention of the Development General Administration.

After taking the battleship back to the Real World, Gao Yuan returned in his mecha and entered the hole.

He could tell that this was the previous mine shaft. Gao Yuan didn't know what had happened!

The mecha's communication system received a route map and was now flying toward the destination.

Gao Yuan went all the way down; he even suspected he had reached the planetary core of Vesta.

He even saw magma outside the mine shaft.

Ten minutes later...

Gao Yuan arrived at a massive command platform.

People were busy everywhere, and the surroundings were filled with various instruments.

Everyone was carrying an oxygen tank.

This place didn't look like a mine shaft but rather the command room of a battleship.

Gao Yuan put on his protective suit and stepped out of the mecha.

Soon, someone led Gao Yuan inside.

Gao Yuan walked into the command room.

He saw Gao Qiu, who had lost some weight but was in high spirits.

"Grand Marshal, is it you?"

"It's me! You've come at the right time! With these supplies, I'm going to launch the General Offensive!"

"What General Offensive?"

"The final battle with the Development General Administration. I've never considered them a worthy opponent..."

Gao Qiu said this with a smug expression.

Gao Yuan wanted to say: it's only been how long, and you're already getting ahead of yourself?

Had he forgotten how he was suppressed by the Development General Administration before?

"As you can see... I've been prepared for a long time!"

"What have you prepared?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"An unprecedented battleship..."

Gao Yuan wanted to ask: where is the battleship?

Why hadn't he seen it...

Just as he was about to ask, his mind reeled. Holy crap, no way?

He looked at Gao Qiu: "You turned Vesta into a battleship?"

"Yes, isn't it creative?"

Gao Qiu said.

"It is... but..."

"No buts. Since you're here, distribute all the supplies. vesta is starting up and will fly toward Mars..."

Gao Yuan was stunned.

"You're crazy! There are so many people in here!"

"That's why I needed the supplies. Vesta is too big. I've been planning here for several years and built a thousand Antimatter Engines, but the speed is still very slow. But it doesn't matter; it only takes three days to fly to Mars. Unless Mars changes its orbit, it can only watch helplessly as we crash into it."

"Won't Su Muyan use Nuclear Bombs or Antimatter Bombs to destroy it?"
