For the newly born Starlight Technology, one thing to do now is to wait for the quantum sea to calm down, and then open the channel again to let others return to their own world. The other is to seize this opportunity to wipe out the members and bases of World Snake - although both Tianming and Nientropy have carried out encirclement and suppression according to the intelligence provided by Fang Zheng, some high-level members of World Snake still managed to escape.

Since the whole world is relatively stable at present and the disaster of collapse has temporarily subsided, Fang Zheng focused his attention on this aspect. Although Kevin has been killed by himself, the World Snakes obviously have no intention of stopping. Obviously, they have regarded the Stigma Project as their highest mission. However, the failure of Sky City also seriously damaged the vitality of the World Snakes. For a while, they all hid in the cave like snakes and no longer showed up.

Apart from that, Fang Zheng spent the rest of his time studying with Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu about the connection between the collapse of the last century and this century.

Through the two people's stories, Fang Zheng also discovered many problems.

First, there is the Fourteenth Herrscher who destroyed the civilization of the last century. Now it is certain that it was the Herrscher of the End who destroyed the civilization of the last era. Then the next question is, what happened to the Herrscher of the End after that? Did she fall asleep? Disappeared? Or left?

No one knows.

Also, regarding the nature of collapse - Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu believe that its purpose is to suppress civilization, because the stronger the civilization, the more developed the manifestation of collapse.

But Fang Zheng disagreed with the idea that the civilization of the last century was very advanced. Because in fact, the civilization of the last century did not even step out of the solar system. According to the civilization level in Halo, they were not even considered a level 3 civilization, but a level 4 civilization.

If we assume that the collapse is a disaster that will happen to the Earth in this world, then as long as humans can reach a level 3 civilization and can carry out voyages and colonization within the galaxy, they can avoid it. Of course, unless human civilization in the last century enters the era of interstellar colonization and still encounters the collapse disaster, the inference that the collapse disaster is a suppressor used to suppress civilization will never be confirmed.

However, the fact is that humans died out in the last century before they even developed the technology for colonizing galaxies.

Of course, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu also said that Dr. MEI set up four human inheritance plans at that time. The first "Ark Plan" was to launch a spacecraft to leave the solar system and find a new home. It carried the Earth's gene bank, but so many years had passed... It was estimated that the spacecraft was also doomed.

Fang Zheng had no hope for the success of the Ark Project. According to the two people's description, the spaceship had not even turned on hyperspace navigation. At this speed, it would be impossible to leave the solar system and find a suitable planet to colonize.

However, out of curiosity, he still asked Leander to launch several probes to search and see if he could find the wreckage or signal of the Ark.

Dr. MEI's second plan is the Spark Plan, which is carried out by Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and a fusion warrior named Hua. Simply put, it is to force growth by imparting the advanced knowledge of the civilization of the last century to the civilization of this century in order to increase their development speed as quickly as possible.

The result was that Chi You appeared, and then Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and Ji Lin sacrificed themselves to barely seal him.

The remaining two plans, one is the "Hengsha Project" carried out by a fusion warrior named Su, which is to constantly observe other parallel world lines, looking for a world line that can defeat the collapse, and thus copy that world line to save their own world.

Fang Zheng is not optimistic about this either. It is just like ordinary people predicting death. If collapse is inevitable, then no matter how many times you see it, there will be no other ending.

Finally, there is the “Stigmata Project” that Kevin is in charge of… needless to say, this has been cut by Fang Zheng.

"So we have two goals. One is to improve the level of human technology as much as possible, so that they can reach the level of colonization within the galaxy in the shortest possible time. Then we can see whether the Honkai disaster will occur on an alien planet."

Fang Zheng stood in front of the stereo display and spoke to the two of them, while Dan Zhu frowned.

"You mean, you want to know whether the Herrscher will appear on an alien planet?"

"Yes, the essence of science is rigor. If an inference is not verified, it will always be just an inference."

“But it’s too risky.”

Cang Xuan shook his head.

"We tried this once before, five thousand years ago..."

"Letting a monkey who doesn't even understand a steam engine maintain a nuclear reactor will inevitably result in an explosion."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"No matter what world you are in, gaining power that does not match the level of civilization will not end well. Indeed, according to your description, Chi You appeared at that time... But there is no evidence to prove that the appearance of Chi You was directly related to the improvement of the level of civilization at that time."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"certainly."

Fang Zheng knocked on the blackboard.

"The evidence is that since then, no Judgment-level Houkai beast has appeared... until the Herrscher of the Void appeared. She only had one more Judgment-level Houkai beast by her side. Of course, with the current level of civilization, Houkai beasts of this level are not considered very powerful."

Having said that, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them.

"Let's assume that the dragon beside the Herrscher of the Void is as powerful as Chi You, which means that the level of civilization five thousand years ago is similar to that of today... As to whether this is true, I think you are the ones who have the best say."

"This... is of course incomparable."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Cang Xuan was silent for a moment, and then gave an answer. Although they did launch the "Spark Plan" to improve the level of civilization at that time, they were limited by the conditions at that time, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not be compared with the current level of civilization.

"That's the problem."

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"The civilization that was upgraded five thousand years ago did not reach the current level, so according to your reasoning, the Honkai beasts we are facing now should be even stronger. But the fact is that over the years, their strength has hardly improved. This is a very strange thing in itself. According to your saying, the stronger the civilization, the stronger the Honkai. But the fact is that the improvement of Honkai is not very significant in most aspects."

“This… is indeed a problem.”

Cang Xuan also frowned and started thinking, while Dan Zhu blinked and looked at Fang Zheng.

"So, Mr. Yuki, what do you think?"

"I'm not sure, but it's a good idea to first rule out those that have been disproven..."

Listening to the conversation between Fang Zheng, Cang Xuan and others coming from the crack of the door, Xiao An yawned boredly and silently turned a page of the book. As the "plenipotentiary representative" of the girls, she was responsible for watching Fang Zheng here. But now Xiao An was a little bored. The things said in it were too complicated, making her feel that it was no different from listening to a book from heaven. Although she was a cosmic assassin, Xiao An knew nothing about this kind of theoretical level. As she listened, she felt a little sleepy.

“Crash.”

Thinking of this, Xiao An silently turned over another page of the book—and then stopped what he was doing.

This is the last page.

Go find Tia and borrow the next book.

Xiao An stood up and looked at the brightly lit conference room. It was obvious that the communication between Fang Zheng and the two girls would not end for a while. So she turned around and walked to the other side of the passage. Then she took the elevator and came to the laboratory below. Generally speaking, Tiayou would conduct her research here and occasionally sleep in it.

“Crack.”

The door opened and Xiao An walked into the laboratory.

"Tia, the next one..."

Holding the book in her hand, Xiao An looked forward and spoke, but she stopped before she finished her words.

Because the laboratory in front of me was empty.

Tia is not here?

Seeing this scene, Xiao An was a little surprised. She knew that Tiayou was a research maniac who would hardly leave the laboratory. But everything here was the same as usual, except that Tiayou was not here... Moreover, the door of the laboratory was not locked...

"……Um……"

Just as Xiao An was about to leave, her ears suddenly caught a faint sound, that was Tiayou's voice. But it was different from Tiayou's usual voice, this voice seemed to be mixed with a bit of depression and discomfort.

"Tia?!"

Hearing this voice, Xiao An's heart was immediately lifted. At this moment, her vigilance as a cosmic-level assassin was immediately raised to the extreme. She walked carefully to the suite in the laboratory - this was Tiayou's rest room. Sometimes when she was tired, she would rest for a while in the ** inside.

Is she feeling unwell? Or is she sick? Or has she been kidnapped?

Xiao An quietly walked to the door, looked inside through the gap, and then - her eyes widened in surprise.

On the other side, Tiayou was lying on the bed. She was frowning, her face was flushed, and she was sweating profusely. She looked like she was sick.

But, that's not being sick.

“Haaaah…haaah…”

Tiayou was lying on her bed, with one hand on her chest, kneading her curvy, soft and round breasts. The other hand was deep in her vagina, trembling violently. One could even faintly hear the sound of the intense water splashing.

Tia? What is she...doing?

Looking at the scene in front of her, Xiao An's eyes widened in surprise, staring at the scene inside. Of course, she knew what Tiayou was doing, but because of this, Xiao An could not accept it even more. The person closest to her would actually reveal such a... shameless, obscene side.

"Hmm...Yuuki-kun...Yuuki-kun...let's do it again...like that time..."

Muttering to herself, Tiayou's movements became more intense. At the same time, her body began to tense up, and her slender legs wrapped in black stockings kept twisting on the white sheets.

“Woo…woo…woooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Finally, with a muffled groan like that of a wild beast, Tiayou suddenly stood up, stepped his legs on his body, and raised his body high, as if he was going to fly into the sky in an instant.

However, the next moment, she fell heavily on the bed again, gasping for breath.

“…Yuki-kun…”

At this moment, Tiayou's eyes were blurred and her face was flushed - she did not notice that a pair of eyes were staring at her through the gap in the door.
