Even though the ancient tree has not yet broken through to the gold level, its power has been constantly increasing, and its growth rate has never slowed down.
Of the ancient trees that remain today, only a dozen or so have thick roots anchored in a few areas and provinces centered around the Qiantang River; the majority of the trunks have already grown out of the ground.
In comparison, the World Tree is only slightly smaller than Earth. From outer space, the relationship between Earth and the ancient natural tree is like a large, symmetrical mushroom growing on the surface of a sphere.
Most of the upper half of the World Tree is now completely in space.
Therefore, the branches that extend from just two branches possess a vast spatial area, sufficient for the use of all human starship systems at present.
Even so, the Earth's rotation and revolution remain unchanged, just as the mass of such a massive ancient tree has no impact on the Earth.
This has amazed many physicists, but since the beginning of the new century, scientists and experts have been proven wrong many times over, and no so-called experts dare to speak casually anymore.
Experts have been tested by fire, and those who remain are mostly true authorities; there are fewer and fewer experts who only offer verbal advice.
...
From various concealed surface bases, countless transport ships slowly descended.
The technicians watched through the reinforced glass of the safe house as rows of Colossi, kneeling and huddled together in a cubical position, were slowly carried by their mounting frames to the loading area beneath the transport ship.
Everything went so smoothly thanks to the advanced anti-gravity system.
Actually, technical soldiers can now operate without being in safe houses, because the current anti-gravity systems are quite mature and there won't be any cases of them being crushed or accidentally injured like before. However, the safety regulations haven't been changed, so there's nothing we can do about it.
On the other side, inside the transport ship carrying the transport pilots, a group of elite military personnel stared coldly at the phantom of the World Tree in the sky.
His serious demeanor couldn't hide his excitement.
"Polly, it's finally our turn to go!"
Feldman adjusted his armband, as if to brush away non-existent dust from the World Tree emblem.
Beside him stood a beautiful figure in a tight-fitting military uniform, which accentuated her stunning figure.
Polly Albanson closed her eyes slightly, as if sensing something.
Only then did a slight smile appear on his face.
"Unit 1 has arrived."
These words startled Feldman. After a dozen seconds, he sensed something and looked at the woman he admired with a complicated expression.
Driven by ambition, he had always hoped to beat Polly before mustering the courage to propose to her, but it seems his chances of winning are dwindling.
A moment later, Star Harbor came into view on the horizon.
The thick trunk of the World Tree, the emerald green leaves of the World Tree, the steel interstellar buildings, and the colossal starships of all kinds.
A powerful visual clash between science fiction and fantasy creates a breathtaking aesthetic experience for everyone.
No matter how many times you see it, this feeling is hard to fade.
Through the windows of the transport ship, one can see the Colossus transport ships landing one by one, while some fly directly into the huge mothership.
The Terran interstellar fleet now possesses over thirty different types of starships of various sizes and models, ranging from giant motherships to small attack ships and various special-purpose vessels, making it a truly powerful interstellar navy.
Moreover, the crew members are not just humans; there are also humanoid races and special races. Rather than science fiction, it is more like a surreal armed force.
Earth, which has created its own style in the universe, does not use simple technology, but has achieved "dual cultivation of magic and martial arts". Its unique psionic technology tree dominates the universe, which will surely surprise all those who have seen it.
Tonight, they will board the starship, and after all the necessary preparations are completed, the fleet will set sail early the next morning for the planned unknown star system.
As a symbol of strength within the human army, Poli and her "Psionic Warriors" unit received a personal audience with the captain of their flagship.
Wu You sat on his four-person platform, without using any special power, but his deep gaze could easily see the distant starport.
"I never imagined that the power of the first-generation Titans would have evolved to the point where they could rival Silver-level creatures that had activated their bio-field. Some of the best individuals are probably no less powerful than high-level Silver-level creatures in terms of pure strength. It's just that the human's weak body makes their endurance and mental strength lacking."
"Hmph, they're nowhere near as good as us!"
Sitting on Wu You's lap, Ma He curled his lip indifferently, his bright red hair swaying slightly due to his own strength.
"Moreover, the advanced silver level is already their limit. If they want to break through to the gold level, the human body itself is the biggest obstacle."
Wu You patted Ma He's leg in an annoyed tone.
"Yes, yes, you're comparing yourself to a kid when you're at the Gold level. You're really arrogant."
Seeing Wu You's actions, Ma He's rosy face glowed even brighter, while Saraso on the side seemed to have thought of something.
In the blink of an eye, the handsome devil disappeared and was replaced by a stunningly beautiful mature woman in a maid outfit. Her face was exquisite, no less than that of a goddess, and her chest was even more impressive.
She walked over to Wu You with a swaying and pinching motions, and gently squeezed Wu You's arm.
"My lord~~ I want to be 'Siclovis'~~~~"
Although Saraso's transformation was perfect, Wu You's forehead veins bulged out one by one.
Does this guy really think he's blind?!
Wu You remained silent, staring blankly at Saraso with veins bulging on his forehead.
"Well..."
The demon instantly reverted to its original form and gave Wu You an awkward smile.
“Well, my lord, I genuinely believe that the role of ‘Siclovis’ needs a full-time actor. It’s not appropriate to have anyone who’s available take on a cameo role!”
"Not to brag, but me~~~~~~~~"
Before Saraso could finish his sentence, he was caught off guard and sent flying by Mach's repulsive expulsion, leaving a long trailing sound at speeds exceeding a hundred times the speed of sound.
"My lord, where were we? Oh, I'm so proud and arrogant, um~ I love hearing you analyze my shortcomings~"
Uh, Wu You felt there must be some unknown black line on his head.
...
At 5 a.m. the next morning, while most ordinary people on the ground were still asleep, the World Tree Starport received the order to set sail.
On the bridge of the Protos, one of the Conqueror-class motherships and the central flagship, Admiral Li Shengyao, the "Cold-Faced General" and commander-in-chief, holds a command sphere suspended in the air.
"I command! Protos Fleet, all ships set sail! Operation Protos commences!"
Rumble rumble rumble~~
Rumble rumble rumble~~
Numerous starships of all sizes slowly departed from their mounting frames, their psionic fusion engines outputting enormous power.
Phantom-like particle-shaped exhaust plumes shot out from the engine nozzle.
This is a space fleet that humanity, Wu You, and Earth have painstakingly built.
Over the course of ten years, despite the maturity of the technology, the Starfleet has never actually left the solar system, thanks to the constant updates and development of new technologies by scientists with ever-evolving ideas.
It really stabilized three years ago, and during those three years everyone was repeatedly studying, training and getting familiar with it.
Protos, the name of the flagship and the project, but it is more than just the name of the flagship.
It also exists in the memories of the older generation from more than a decade ago.
PS: How long has it been since I asked for votes? It's been more than two months, just like my recommendations, right? Okay, there's a double vote event again, so I'll ask for some more votes. I'll give them to you guys as you see fit. Of course, my updates aren't that great, so it's my right not to give any, but it's a favor if I do!
