Chapter 296: In Peril
"Carliss, there's something I'd like to discuss with you and ask for your opinion."
"What's up?"
"Would you like to live a better life as humans under the rule of the gods?"
"Of course I want to. Your world is far beyond ours."
"I'm going to pass on some knowledge and skills to you. What do you think?"
Carliss thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"Okay then. Nana?"
"Master" Nana appeared, and Nana waved to Kalis, who waved back.
"Nana, transmit the technology from ancient times to our imperial era to Kalis."
"Owner..."
"Nana, what's wrong?"
“I’m worried that Carlisle won’t be able to absorb so much knowledge and that it will damage her brain.”
Zhou Yuan thought for a moment, "Nana, let's transmit it to the information age then."
"Yes, Master. Caris, please come with me."
Carliss glanced at Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan nodded.
Carlisle and Zhou Yuan followed Nana from the command room to a large room specifically for knowledge transfer.
Under Zhou Yuan's supervision, Kalis's stream of consciousness data was first scanned, uploaded, and stored. Then, the machine instilled the quantized information into Kalis's brain, which then processed and categorized the data for storage, integrating it into the brain's stream of consciousness.
Because Kalis was an ancient human, she received a huge amount of information, and the knowledge instilled in her took about three hours.
When Carlis emerged from the metal cavity, she saw Nana's glowing body and exclaimed, "Holographic virtual body!" She then rattled off a whole host of terms, such as circle, metal, quantum computer, and photon, clearly demonstrating her considerable knowledge.
Nana tried asking Carlis a few questions, and Carlis answered them all correctly.
"Zhou Yuan, this feeling is amazing. I also want to build factories and computers for my people..."
“Carliss, there’s no rush. I suggest you first expand the vocabulary of your people and invent a language system to record the knowledge you currently possess. With this record of knowledge and technology, things will be much easier later.”
“You’re right. I’ll go back and discuss it with Minova.”
"Alright, the goddess of wisdom should have a solution."
Carlisle seemed very happy and eager, "Let's go back now."
"No rush, we'll set off after lunch."
“Okay, whatever you say.” After saying that, Carlisle took Zhou Yuan’s hand. “Let’s go have lunch.”
Seeing Carlis's eagerness, Zhou Yuan smiled and then snapped his fingers.
Carlisle saw an insect-like thing fly out of Zhou Yuan's pocket.
"Master. Kalis, hello." Kalis was startled by the little bee's voice and looked at Zhou Yuan in confusion. What surprised Kalis even more was that the little bee unfolded into a spaceship. She never expected that a little bee could turn into a long spaceship.
Zhou Yuan led Carlis into the Little Bee spaceship. Carlis was very curious and found it incredible. Zhou Yuan took the time to explain to her, such as scaling technology, holographic technology, and virtual technology. Fortunately, Carlis accepted the knowledge and understood these things without much difficulty.
The little bee spaceship carried Zhou Yuan and Carlisle to the most famous tourist attraction on the planet Horizon—Summer Silver Beach.
The little bee-shaped spaceship hovered stealthily above the shallow sea area. Carlisle saw the beach shimmering silvery-white, with many people in swimsuits swimming and surfing. Adults and children played and chased each other on the beach. In the sky, many spaceships landed one after another. After people disembarked, the spaceships shrank and automatically entered the docking area.
Caris and the gods, though they had traveled to the sea before, had never seen a silver beach and so many people on it.
Aya prepared the meal, and Zhou Yuan and Carlisle enjoyed the sea view while eating. Lunch took about an hour.
"Carlisle, do you want to go down and play?"
"No, let's do it later."
"Alright. Let's head back to the flagship."
The little bee spaceship departs and returns to the flagship.
"Master, Commander Chu Yuzhou of the Imperial Fleet's Tianxing VI Star System Fleet requests a call."
"Nana, take it."
"Yes."
The holographic screen displayed a handsome man in his late twenties. The man's face resembled Zhou Yuan's, and he seemed to have some kind of anxiety on his face.
"Yuzhou, is something the matter?"
"According to reports from the Tianxing 6, 10, 15, and 19 star system fleets, hyperspace oscillations have just occurred in the constellations Canes Venatici, Eridanus, Boötes, and Capricorn."
"Hyperspace oscillation?" Zhou Yuan was also somewhat surprised. "Nana, activate the super-distance Sky Eye and confirm it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master."
A moment later, Nana's voice came through, "Master, these four constellations' hyperspace tremors are the result of hyperspace attacks from two intelligent civilizations. Canes Venatici and Eridanus belong to one intelligent civilization, while Boötes and Capricorn belong to another. Master, these four hyperspace attacks are all aimed at the new Earth galaxy."
After receiving the knowledge transmission, Carlisle naturally knew what the new Earth-Galaxy referred to, and her face showed surprise.
Zhou Yuan sensed something was amiss. In this three-dimensional universe, two intelligent civilizations had indeed broken through the speed of light limit and were beginning to target the new Earth, or rather, were about to target the humans of the new Earth.
Because it would take the Imperial fleet two months to completely eliminate any intelligent civilizations traveling at the speed of light in this universe, and it was unknown how many more intelligent civilizations would break the speed of light limit within those two months. Thinking about this, Zhou Yuan felt that the hundred AI warships hidden in the sun might not be able to guarantee the safety of humanity on the new Earth.
"Yu Zhou, relay the orders to the four star system fleets to intercept the four hyperspace oscillation attacks, carry out a dimensional reduction attack on the two intelligent civilizations, and deploy the 'Zero Degree Technique' weapon to completely destroy these two faster-than-light civilizations."
"Yes, sir." With that, Yu Zhou disappeared from the holographic screen.
"Nana, activate the fleet hidden in the new Earth's sun and move the solar system here. Make sure the new Earth arrives safely at the galactic base."
"Yes, Master."
Carlis only saw Zhou Yuan issuing a series of orders. Although she didn't know what "hyperspace strike" meant, she could tell from Yu Zhou and Zhou Yuan's faces that this "hyperspace strike" seemed to be extremely dangerous.
"Master, the New Earth Solar System has entered hyperspace travel and will arrive at the Superbody Droplet Galaxy Base in about four days."
"Alright, let's temporarily place this solar system adjacent to the other four nine-star orbiting systems."
"Yes, Master." After saying that, Nana's virtual form disappeared, leaving only Zhou Yuan and Kalis in the command room.
Zhou Yuan turned around and saw the confusion on Carlisle's face. He smiled slightly and said, "Carlisle, there are many things you don't understand yet, and you don't need to know."
"Yes, I believe you. Besides, I've learned quite a bit now. From what Nana just said, I can meet Marcus, Minova, and Beth in four days?"
"Yes."
Carlis's doubts vanished, and her face lit up with joy. Zhou Yuan hadn't seen Carlis so happy in all these days.
"By the way, that man on the screen just now, that Yu Zhou, doesn't he look just like you?"
“Yu Zhou, he was born to Chu Xiaolu, and he is Zhou Yuan’s second child.”
Carlis recalled chatting with Zhou Yuan and his four wives that morning and felt that she and Chu Xiaolu got along quite well. Carlis felt that Chu Xiaolu had the demeanor of a warrior, but she did not know that Chu Xiaolu was a true soldier.
"The second child?"
"Yes."
How many children does he have?
“Five. The first three are sons, and the last two are twin daughters born to Mei Ruolan. All three sons have entered the high command of the Imperial Fleet, and the two daughters have just completed their studies at the Academy of Sciences and are now undergoing special training in the Imperial Fleet.”
"Look at their family, they seem very happy."
"Yes."
Carlisle stared at Zhou Yuan without blinking, a hint of an indescribable smile on her face.
“Brother Zhou,” Carlisle suddenly changed her form of address, and Zhou Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
"what's up?"
"Is Lefia really that important to you?"
When Carlis asked this question, Zhou Yuan was stunned. He had always regarded seeking the ultimate truth as his most important goal, but after experiencing so many illusions and realities, he seemed to feel a little tired of it.
The five-dimensional human race and the five-dimensional intelligent race are beings that I cannot surpass, not to mention the mysterious existence of the six-dimensional space mentioned by the five-dimensional human race. It seems that the search for the ultimate is just wishful thinking on my part, like an ant climbing over mountain after mountain, but it can't leave the continent it is on.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Kalis, I don't know either. I can only say that as a human, Lefia is still very important to me."
"Master, Commander Yuzhou requests video transmission." Nana appeared behind the two of them without their knowledge.
"Okay, let's continue."
"Yes, Master."
In the center of the command room, four huge holographic spheres appeared. Within each of the four holographic spheres, there were stars of varying sizes. According to the scale shown below, Zhou Yuan knew that each star represented a galaxy cluster.
A large red area suddenly appeared in the center of the four holographic spheres.
"Master, the red zone is the area the fleet is to clear out completely. 'Zero Degree Technique' has just been released."
To Karis's astonishment, in the red area at the center of the holographic sphere, the scattered dots first disappeared one by one, then vanished in a series. Five minutes later, as if collapsing, all the dots within the red area disappeared completely, replaced by darkness and emptiness. Around the emptiness, there were still scattered dots.
Zhou Yuan was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected the dimensional reduction weapon "Zero Degree Technique" to be so powerful. After all, Kalis had also seen the scale display. She knew that each of the four holographic spheres had a red area with a diameter equivalent to hundreds of millions of light-years. Nana's words further confirmed Kalis's idea.
"Master, two faster-than-light intelligent civilizations have been wiped out by the 'Zero Degree Technique'. The diameter of the Canes Venatici constellation destroyed is 13 billion light-years, while the diameters of the Eridanus, Boötes, and Capricorn constellations destroyed are 10 billion light-years, 2.5 million light-years, and 2.3 million light-years, respectively."
Zhou Yuan stared blankly at the cosmic voids within the four holographic spheres, a strange feeling welling up inside him.
In this three-dimensional universe, the destruction of two faster-than-light civilizations was effortless. However, the stable structural information body bestowed upon this three-dimensional universe by the five-dimensional intelligent race seemed to have awakened, while the surplus structural information body bestowed upon it by the five-dimensional human race, including the consciousness of the new Earth humans, seemed to be still dormant.
Suddenly, a holographic screen in the command center started flashing red continuously.
"Master, a real-time message has been sent from the five-dimensional space galaxy base."
"what's the message?"
"The Five-Dimensional Space Galaxy Base, through its five-dimensional space detection technology, has observed numerous information entities entering this three-dimensional universe from cosmic voids. The Five-Dimensional Space Galaxy Base is about to be attacked by the five-dimensional space intelligent race."
"Nana, immediately recall all imperial fleets in this universe, activate the super-body droplet, connect to the new Earth, leave this three-dimensional universe, return to the five-dimensional space base, and then escape as far as possible."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing the worry on Zhou Yuan's face, Carlisle knew they were in danger.
