189: Chapter 189 No Choice

"What's the difference between them and us?"

"90% similarity! So, you could say we are actually of the same kind!"

Gao Yuan still didn't quite understand.

"Why is that?"

"Just like Nüwa creating humans, we are the products they created. High similarity is only natural!"

"Why do they want to lock humanity within the Solar System?"

Gao Yuan asked.

Gao Qiu shook his head: "I don't know the answer; you'll need to find that out yourself! I can give you the genome data!"

"Grand Marshal, do they not need oxygen?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Correct. By deciphering the genome, we've confirmed they don't need oxygen. Once exposed to oxygen, their cells undergo large-scale oxidative death!"

"Then they should wear protective suits when coming to Earth, but why are they depicted in legends as having human heads and snake bodies?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"We've studied this too, but no protective suits were found near the remains. So, we speculate they have a type of protective suit made of Dark Matter. We can't see Dark Matter... so we didn't find any!"

Gao Qiu walked forward.

"Here is all the information regarding the advanced alien civilizations. You can take your time looking through it here, or I can copy a set for you to take back!"

"Alright!"

Gao Yuan obtained two very important things this time: one was Dark Matter and the method to collect it; the second was the genome of the advanced beings!

Gao Yuan was about to leave.

"Yuan'er, only when the two worlds watch over and help each other can we break the shackles and truly let humanity take its fate into its own hands."

"I know!"

"I will vigorously develop various weapons here. It's best if you don't militarize on your side to avoid wasting resources! Also, you probably haven't started large-scale development yet. I actually have a plan! It's called Project Shell-break! I might need your cooperation!"

Project Shell-break?

Gao Yuan was stunned.

What other plan does this old fox have?

"What do you plan to do?"

"We should be under the surveillance of the Advanced Civilization right now, but we've never understood their purpose. So, I intend to test their bottom line to infer their true purpose for imprisoning humanity!"

"How will you test it?"

"A breakout..."

Gao Qiu gave a meaningful smile.

"Say it more simply. I don't quite understand. How do we break out?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"I plan to manufacture ten thousand Antimatter Engines and place them on Mercury to push Mercury into the Sun! This will disrupt the Solar System's force field. When that happens, Jupiter and Earth will both be swallowed by the Sun... Jupiter will also be torn to shreds by the gravitational field, while Neptune might break free from the Sun's force field and escape the Solar System..."

Gao Yuan was shocked by this plan.

"This is Project Shell-break? This is a damn suicide plan!"

Too crazy.

"The name of the plan is just to do the opposite! Otherwise, the true purpose might be guessed!"

"No, Grand Marshal, why would you do this?"

"I plan to migrate en masse to the regions of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune... By then, whichever planet can escape the Solar System will be a success for humanity! And this is just the worst-case scenario. I'm betting... betting that they won't let me push Mercury into the Sun!"

"What's the point of that?"

"Of course there is... According to my analysis, the probability of them intervening exceeds ninety percent. Once they act, there are three benefits for us: first, we can take the opportunity to understand their strength! Second, I'm certain they won't let us die! So the previous talk about exterminating humanity was just a scare tactic. They've kept humanity like livestock for so many years; how could they let us die? Third, the last benefit is that we can take the opportunity to establish a communication channel with them!"

"Grand Marshal, it's not necessary. I've already found the entrance to the wormhole. I can go over and take a look soon to see who they are and what their purpose is... I'll definitely be faster than you!"

Gao Yuan's expression was complicated.

"It's precisely because you found the wormhole that I initiated Project Shell-break! I never put all my hopes on a single plan! I've analyzed it... after you traverse the wormhole for a space jump, the probability of you being killed is as high as 99%! So..."

Gao Yuan looked shocked...

"So, you think I'll die! That's why you made a new plan?"

"It's just preparing for a rainy day. Before you enter the wormhole, you need to help me prepare some things!"

"What?"

"I'll give you a list of Asteroid Belt designations. Drag the asteroids on my list back directly and use the Space-Time Gate to transport them to Earth for me. These asteroids contain several rare minerals. If you bring them to me, I can use them to destroy the space wormhole!"

"If the wormhole is destroyed, those advanced alien beings stranded on Earth will have no choice but to negotiate and cooperate with us! So those asteroids are a very important part of Project Shell-break!"

"Here..."

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.

"That's good, I have no more questions!"

"Grand Marshal, am I really your son? You've calculated that I'll likely die, yet you won't even say a word of farewell?"

"Safe travels!"

Pfft...

Gao Yuan was speechless as he left the Future World.

After Gao Yuan returned to the Muza Base, he notified the Moon Base to manufacture large interstellar transport ships. Once built, they would go to the Asteroid Belt to mine, then drag the materials back to the Moon, and Gao Yuan would find time to deliver them to Gao Qiu.

Gao Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to formulate a complete wormhole traversal plan. For example, what vehicle would he take? Whom would he bring? What was the safest way to go, and what should he do once he arrived?

After he left the Real World, who would take charge of the overall situation?

In the Muza old courtyard, Gao Yuan lay in the backyard looking at the stars. He thought of the transformer Qin Mugutan had given him when he first went to the Future World.

Now that he had the genes of the advanced beings, if he input them, could he also turn into a person with a human head and a snake's body? Would he be seen through?

Gao Yuan didn't know!

If he didn't go and sent a robot instead?

No... that wouldn't work. Robots cannot pass through space wormholes! Because the pressure and radiation inside the wormhole would cause intelligent devices to fail. Warships need to shut down their intelligent systems, and robots might suffer permanent damage.

So, Gao Yuan had no choice; he had to go himself or choose not to go.

Could Gao Yuan not go?

Impossible...

The wormhole was right there, and Gao Yuan had Dark Matter, Antimatter, and a flight vehicle. Who could resist checking out a secret hidden for so many years?

Gao Yuan was going, so he called Zhang Baiyi over: "Old Zhang, I'm going on a business trip for a few days. Keep an eye on the house!"

"Old Gao, don't you feel guilty saying that? How many days have you actually stayed since you got back? Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly!"

"That's good! Let's have a drink together tonight; it's been a long time!"

Gao Yuan didn't know if he would be able to return this time, so he was arranging his affairs as if for his own funeral.
