229: Chapter 229 Xueyao Refuses

"A Level 3 Lifeform?"

As easily as breathing, Jiang Chen suppressed the Lightning qi particles within his body, and the thunder in the distance instantly fell silent as he murmured to himself.

If it were merely about resonating with the distant thunder, perhaps he would indeed be a Level 3 Lifeform.

But his life has another characteristic.

That is, the consciousness particles in his mind can drift outwards.

For instance, right now, although he is standing in this manor, he can 'see' inside Classroom 809 of the second teaching building at the Dragon God Academy, where a professor is teaching students about knowledge regarding the Lunar Base and the Mars Base...

These images are not what his eyes are seeing.

Rather, when he appears at the Dragon God Academy, a portion of his consciousness particles distribute freely in the surroundings, covering a radius of about ten miles.

These consciousness particles store the visual information of the surroundings and then resonate in synchronization with the consciousness particles in Jiang Chen's mind, much like cloud storage, synchronizing information.

In the words of some ancient people, this is called clairvoyance, or perception.

But Jiang Chen vaguely felt that this might be related to quantum communication.

So-called quantum communication uses the superposition and entanglement effects of quantum particles to transmit information.

And the quantum entanglement effect is actually when some particles interact and become a single whole; even after they are separated, they still function as one.

For example, if one particle is in an upward state, the other particle, even if it is hundreds of millions of miles away, will synchronously shift upward as well.

This entanglement reaction is faster than light and ignores distance.

Jiang Chen's consciousness particles were originally a single whole, but after entering the Level 4 Lifeform stage, for some reason, a portion of his consciousness particles could detach and distribute within a radius of ten miles.

This is equivalent to him being able to perceive more information within a ten-mile radius.

Of course!

This characteristic is simply too profound, so Jiang Chen did not say much about it.

Because whether he spoke of it or not, he was already the strongest in human evolution at this very moment.

The gap between them is equivalent to everyone else still being cavemen while Jiang Chen is already reading free novels on Tomato.

"There is hope! Earth has hope!"

Xiao Shuihan looked at Jiang Chen excitedly, tears streaming down his face.

Xiao Qi hurriedly supported the old man: "Elder, don't get too excited, steady yourself."

"Earth is the mother planet of humanity; it has always been our hope." Jiang Chen said this as a matter of course.

However.

Xiao Shuihan shook his head and said: "Sigh, only those of us who were born on Earth fifty years ago think this way. For many Level 2 Lifeforms now, and the new humans born on Mars and the Lunar Base, Earth is just an old woman—tasteless to eat but a pity to discard. Only when they need us to provide Level 1 Life Form blood transfusions every month do they remember their old mother Earth..."

After listening to Xiao Shuihan's complaints, Jiang Chen finally learned that fifty years ago, the Pangu Base in Antarctica, utilizing the Great Wall Scientific Research Station system, absorbed global resources, talent, capital, technology, and Gene Warriors.

In the tenth year, the Luan Bird took flight, and a large number of space docks were built.

By the twentieth year, the Mars Base could already accommodate tens of millions of people, led by the Xinhuo Faction.

By the thirtieth year, the Dragon Emblem Faction seized control of the Lunar Base, but it could only accommodate five million people.

The following twenty years should have been a time for Mars and the Lunar Base to develop resources and give back to Earth.

After all, as the mother planet, Earth had contributed a vast amount of resources back when humanity first ventured out.

Places like the Antarctic continent were almost hollowed out, to the point where there are no iron ore resources left.

The technology, equipment, and talent of the Pangu Base had long been transferred to Mars, and it had now become nothing more than a desolate transportation hub.

Every month, the two major bases would send people back to Earth to search for potential Level 1 Life Forms, claiming it was to cultivate talent for the Earth United Fleet...

"These snakes; every time they want people, they act more noble and moral than the last, asking us to sacrifice. But when we ask them if there are any benefits to give back to Earth, they just say, 'Wait a little longer, the benefits are coming later'..."

Commander Long Kui also couldn't help but curse and grumble.

Unfortunately, his strength as a Level 1 Life Form was decent in earlier years, but now, compared to Mars and the Lunar Base, it was just mediocre.

He no longer had any say.

"The Dragon Emblem Faction is also leeching off Earth without giving back?"

Jiang Chen was very surprised.

Back then, Xia Zhongxun and the others had told him about the dominance of the Xinhuo Faction.

He hadn't expected that after so many years, the two factions would each occupy half of the extraterrestrial territories and turn around to exploit Earth.

"The Dragon Emblem is slightly better; after all, most of them are citizens of the Dragon Country, and at the very least, they have ensured that order in the Dragon Country remains intact."

"As for the Xinhuo Faction... they no longer have any sense of identification with Earth."

"Many of their children were born on Mars and grew up on Mars. How could they possibly consider themselves Earthlings?"

"They only feel that these Earthlings lower their standards."

Xiao Shuihan shook his head in disappointment.

This is also why he hasn't liked the extraterrestrial bases much over these years.

Because he feels that some people have forgotten their roots.

Jiang Chen was silent after hearing this.

He hadn't expected that just fifty years of rapid human development would be enough to create such a massive rift.

"Jiang Chen, you aren't planning on going to Mars and the Lunar Base, are you?"

Xiao Shuihan suddenly looked up, watching Jiang Chen with some concern.

Although Jiang Chen is a person from fifty years ago, Mars and the Lunar Base are currently the most developed and have the most resources. Even the crystallization of human technology, the Luan Bird, is flying in space right now. With his strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to be content staying on Earth.

But if someone like him were to leave, Earth would truly have no hope left.

The Dragon Country...

It would very likely gradually fade from the map as well.

"Don't worry, Elder Xiao, Earth will not be drained dry."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he suddenly contacted Xue Yao via his communicator, projecting her figure beside him, and then turned to look at her.

"I, Jiang Chen, absolutely will not allow this to continue!"

"Even if I allowed it, my wife wouldn't!"

"Right, honey?"

At this moment, Xue Yao was on the small fishing boat. She didn't know what Jiang Chen was talking about, but his grand words made her feel that her husband's figure was becoming increasingly imposing. However, this sudden twist left her stunned.

"???"

She widened her eyes.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What are you all talking about?

I am just a retired commander.

What do I not agree to?

"Have you forgotten? You said last night that you wanted to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Luan Bird."

Jiang Chen looked at Xue Yao gently.

I am not, I didn't, don't spout nonsense, husband... I am only a Level 2 Lifeform; I definitely can't beat the peak Level 2 Lifeform General Wei!

"That's fantastic!"

"If the Luan Bird can be controlled by Earth, then Earth will have hope!"

Xiao Shuihan bowed excitedly towards Xue Yao.

"I'm counting on you, Commander Qin!"

Xiao Qi also bowed: "Please, Commander Qin!"

Commander Long Kui even raised his arm and shouted: "Either return our Gene Warriors, or take control of the Luan Bird!"

"...Take control of the Luan Bird?"

Xue Yao looked at Jiang Chen with resentment.

Thank you so much, husband. My small shoulders have inexplicably become heavy with responsibility.
