Chapter 1975: Returnee Program
Dragon Star Empire
"Your Majesty, we have the technology for space projection."
We are now capable of building stargates similar to white holes, which can span long periods of time and travel across cosmic clusters.
However, there are still some limitations on the daily transport volume, considering the cost of hiring the shipping company.
It is estimated that the cost can break even after six months of use.
However, the initial investment costs are relatively high.
Furthermore, the site selection requirements are very high because stability is taken into consideration.
So far, our research team has only discovered twenty suitable coordinate locations within our JF-17 Space Cluster for constructing such inter-universe stargates.
Only three were discovered in the Sacred Kingdom of Ash Star.
Zhao Chen listened to his subordinates' report on the latest achievements of the research institute.
Although the technology in this area is not yet mature and advanced enough, it is sufficient to meet the current needs of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
"What about the technology regarding outer space in the universe?" Zhao Chen asked, voicing a question he had been paying close attention to recently.
Extraterrestrial space.
That is a mysterious space between universes, even more mysterious than subspace.
The Machine Race managed to resist the infiltration of the legion fleets under the Order's command in outer space.
Without the help of the Machine Race, the Dragon Star Empire would never have been able to develop to its current state.
At that time, the Machine Race promised to buy the Dragon Star Empire ten years.
The other party kept their promise.
Now, it's time for Zhao Chen to fulfill his promise.
He was constantly thinking about how to get home with these comrades.
"Our numerous experiments have been very successful so far."
The only unstable factor is that the coordinates in the extraterrestrial space are quite complex.
We cannot pinpoint a location accurately, not even when we ourselves are deploying spacecraft.
"The delivery locations may differ between the two deliveries," the subordinate reported.
"So that means we can only ensure our fleet is in one position by deploying it all at once?" Zhao Chen asked.
"That's how it is, but there's no need to worry too much."
Because of the short delivery time, the coordinate difference will not be too large.
Similarly, if the delivery takes less than a minute, the coordinates might have a radius of about one meter. If the delivery takes less than ten minutes, the coordinates might have °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° a radius of about one hundred meters. If the delivery takes less than an hour, the coordinates might have a radius of about one kilometer.
Something like this.
Therefore, short-term deployments are only advisable if the enemy is well-prepared or if there is any crisis.
There might be danger; otherwise, the dispatched fleet groups could simply search for each other and complete the assembly.
Zhao Chen suddenly realized.
"What about communications?" Zhao Chen asked another question of concern.
"We have made great progress in communications."
This is mainly due to our previous foundation in inter-universe quantum communication, coupled with breakthroughs in inter-universe group quantum communication.
These types of technologies actually have certain commonalities.
Our legion fleets deployed to outer space can communicate in real time with our Dragon Star Empire.
In addition, we have developed something really good.
Your Majesty will surely like this.
Hearing his subordinate's excited and confident words.
Zhao Chen asked with interest, "What is it?"
"This is a technology that we developed together with researchers from the Mechanical Race."
First, we spent a tremendous amount of money to build a machine.
Then you can use this helmet to connect to this machine.
Once the connection is complete, the person wearing the helmet can use this mechanical body without any delay.
Simply put, the legion fleets sent to outer space will only need to bring this mechanical body.
Then you're here, wearing this helmet.
You are essentially traveling to outer space together.
Even if a crisis occurs in outer space and your mechanical body is destroyed, it will not pose any danger to you.
And from now on, this type of technology can be used in any situation you need to attend to ensure your safety.
Hearing about this technology...
Zhao Chen's eyes lit up.
His current special status makes his safety the biggest concern for everyone.
Lilith's secretary also emphasized that security must be ensured at all places he attends in the future.
Wherever you go and whoever you meet, you need to be careful about your safety.
This really upset Zhao Chen.
But everyone was doing it for his own good, so it's understandable.
Zhao Chen could only suppress his discomfort and comply with their arrangements.
Now, with this technology, he no longer needs to worry about safety issues.
His physical body only needs to stay here, while his spiritual will can travel to many places.
"Then it seems it's time to carry out that plan." Zhao Chen took a deep breath, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
The Returnees Program.
This plan was actually established a long time ago, but due to the domestic and international situation of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, as well as the situation of related technologies, it has been delayed until now.
Now that we finally have the technology, there's no reason to delay any longer.
The plan is simple: open a passage to outer space, locate the machine race, and then bring them back.
And there is another very important requirement in this plan.
That is a requirement for the strength of the Dragon Star Empire itself.
If they bring back the Machine Race, it means they will need to have the strength to directly confront the legion fleets under the Order's command.
Take, for example, that dark legion fleet!
The true direct legion fleet of the Order.
This is nothing like the law enforcement civilization, the soul apostle civilization, or the saint civilization—civilizations supported by order, which are essentially lackey civilizations.
After the Returnees Program is ready to launch.
The mobilization of relevant resources has begun.
However, there are a few crucial issues that need to be personally decided by Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon.
That is, how many legion fleets to send to carry out this mission.
This is actually the most important issue in this plan.
For other missions, at least they knew how many enemies they would be facing.
For example, in the mission of the Black God Civilization universe, they knew that they would be facing three divine messenger civilizations.
Then you'll know how many legion fleets to send.
But now, we are heading to an unknown space, a battlefield where the number of enemies is completely unknown.
The number of legions and fleets to be deployed is entirely up to their judgment.
Ultimately, after discussions between Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon, and Grand Marshal Charlotte, the matter was resolved.
The decision has been made to deploy three old legion fleet groups and three new legion fleet groups, totaling nearly 20 million interstellar warships, to carry out this mission!
