"What on earth is going on?"

Theresa's scream pierced Fang Zheng's eardrums, forcing him to step back.

"Okay, Ms. Theresa, don't get so excited. It's just that the earth was almost destroyed... Look, isn't it solved?"

After Xiao An returned to normal, Anti-Entropy and Destiny naturally received the report - after all, Bronya and Kiana also experienced the battle at that time, so when Destiny asked about the situation, they also reported everything they had experienced.

"It's just that the earth was almost destroyed...that's all?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Theresa and Walter Yang on the screen in front of him.

"Okay, you two, I know what you're thinking, but to be honest, for cosmic civilizations, weapons against planets are quite common."

"universal……?"

Walter Yang frowned.

"With all due respect, I cannot imagine how a weapon capable of destroying a planet could be... approved?"

"Oh, it's handy for fighting terrorists."

"……Why?"

"You see, there are often some cosmic terrorists or conspiracy organizations that build secret bases on those uninhabited planets, but it's too troublesome to search every planet one by one. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just blow them up in one go?"

For example, this is what the Galactic Empire in Star Wars did.

By the way, anti-planetary weapons are also indispensable in Fang Zheng's Blue Fleet.

"Besides, even if there is no war, mining is very convenient. My planet-splitting ship, the Ishimura, often splits up entire planets to mine... The efficiency is much higher than ordinary mining."

"…Sorry, I have to slow down."

Theresa helplessly stretched out her hand to press her forehead, while Walter Yang beside her was also stunned. Fang Zheng laughed and spread his hands towards the two of them.

"So you see, this is why I don't recommend you to pay too much attention to the collapse. There are many factors that want to destroy mankind, and the collapse is just one of them. Maybe one day a large group of alien warships will fly over and say that the earth is on the interstellar highway in the universe and they plan to demolish it. With your current technology, what can you do?"

Aren’t you just waiting to die?

In Fang Zheng's opinion, one of the drawbacks of people in this world is that they are too focused on the collapse, and everything they do is centered on fighting the collapse. The same is true of human civilization in the last century. If you had discovered interstellar colonization technology, at least you wouldn't be trapped on this crooked tree on Earth, right? As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you won't worry about lack of firewood. Since the enemy is strong, just choose to fight guerrilla warfare with it.

Is it true that the Earth is right behind us and there is no place to retreat?

“Ahahahahaha…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Theresa laughed dryly.

"Mr. Yuki, your joke is not very funny..."

"Why do you think I'm joking? Isn't forced demolition a normal thing? By the way, the construction plan has been in Centauri's office for a century. It's your own fault if you don't take a look at it, right?"

"Well……"

Fang Zheng looked at Theresa and Walter Yang's pale faces leisurely, revealing a mocking smile. This is how civilization oppression works. History tells us that if you lag behind, you will be beaten. You can't win because you are too backward, whether it is the civilization of this era or the civilization of the previous era.

As for Otto's approach of suppressing the development of civilization in order to prevent the outbreak of the collapse, Fang Zheng thought it was a complete failure. According to his approach, humans should simply stop developing and continue to live the life of cavemen. How good would it be? They would not have to worry about food and drink, nor would they have to worry about the collapse.

Of course, Cang Xuan also told Fang Zheng that when they were executing the Fire Plan, they were too advanced and thus summoned the ferocious beast Chi You.

But, think about it the other way around, why did Chi You appear when human civilization and technology were accelerating?

Isn't it just to stop them?

On the other hand, it is precisely because there is a threat that we have to stop it.

The more the other party wants to stop us, shouldn't we do the opposite?

As a result, five thousand years were wasted.

From this we can see that Chi You’s death was not in vain, and Honkai will definitely win this game.

What is war after all?

War is about achieving your goals and preventing the enemy from achieving them.

From this point of view, Honkai's move was a complete calamity against the humans in this world. It used one Chiyou to buy off five thousand years of slow progress in human civilization.

This deal is such a steal.

After the call ended, Fang Zheng let out a long breath, then stood up and walked to the window. The implanted DARKNESS will in Xiao An's brain had been destroyed by himself. Of course, there were some sequelae, but the impact was not great, and he just needed to rest for a while. As for the process of waking up Xiao An... Fang Zheng certainly couldn't tell Lala and the others, so he just found an excuse to fool them.

Meigan and Eve are accompanying Xiao An now, so Fang Zheng should not disturb her. After all, it is a bit awkward to meet her at this moment. After Xiao An recovers...then we can talk about it.

"Boom boom boom."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Leander walked in.

"Commander, I have something to report."

"oh?"

Hearing Leander's words, Fang Zheng turned around.

"What's up?"

"this."

As he spoke, Leander stretched out his hand, and soon, a piece of information appeared in front of Fang Zheng. After reading the information in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"This is really interesting... Call Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and the others over."

"yes."

Soon, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, who were originally conducting research in the laboratory, came to Fang Zheng's office.

"What do you want from us, Mr. Yuuki?"

Dan Zhu looked at Fang Zheng curiously and asked. They had been studying things about the Herrscher during this period. Of course, because Fang Zheng had said so beforehand, they did not conduct any human experiments on Bronya and the others. However, the analysis of the Herrscher's energy alone had allowed the two to obtain a lot of valuable information that was not available in previous eras.

This made Danzhu sigh why there was no Herrscher who was lucky enough to awaken on the human side in her own era... Even if there was one, perhaps their civilization would not have perished.

Fang Zheng was looking at the two girls in front of him with a smile.

"I remember you said that in your time, Dr. MEI had an Ark Project, which was to send a colony ship out of the solar system and find a new colony, right?"

"Um...what's the problem?"

Cang Xuan blinked and stared at Fang Zheng in confusion, while Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"Oh, we found the spaceship."

"……Why?!!!!"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were stunned for a moment, and then they screamed.

"Looked for it, found it?!"

"Yes, it's in the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.54 million light-years away from Earth. I don't know how it got there, but now it looks like it must have drifted over there..."

“…”

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu were stunned and speechless for a moment, but then Fang Zheng's expression changed and he stared at them seriously.

"By the way, I want to ask, there are no coordinate points and information of the earth entered on this spacecraft."

"...I...we don't really know..."

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu looked at each other.

"We are in charge of the Spark Project, and someone else is in charge of the Ark Project...Any questions?"

"This is a serious problem because according to the images we have captured, the spacecraft has been attacked and most likely destroyed."

"Attack?!!"

This really left the two of them completely dumbfounded.

"Who is it?"

"Nonsense, of course it's an alien."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Well, that's not important. What's important is that this Ark was destroyed, and it's very likely that information about the Earth was input into it..."

"That's for sure."

Cang Xuan nodded.

"I remember that there is Earth's gene bank on the Ark, so..."

"Good boy, you have already prepared the menu for the other side."

Fang Zheng shook his head. He remembered that the United States had once launched a program to search for extraterrestrial information. Simply put, the program was to send various information such as the DNA, species, and civilization of earthlings into space to search for other civilizations.

In Fang Zheng's opinion, this was just like him finding a student ID card on the street that said "1X years old female student". A kind person might return the student ID card, but if someone with bad intentions followed the information and found the girl, he could first have sex with her, then have sex with her and then take advantage of her!

"Forget it. We don't know what the situation is now, so..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at the two of them.

"Let's go to the universe and have a look. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Of course, since they were going to the universe, Fang Zheng couldn't just take Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu with him. He also informed Tian Ming and Ni Entropy about this matter. After hearing the news, Theresa and Walter Yang couldn't sit still. They put down their work and planned to go with Fang Zheng to see the "Ark".

Lala and the others did not go together. After all, they were a cosmic race and had experienced a lot of space travel. They were more worried about Xiao An's physical condition, so Fang Zheng arranged for the others to stay, and then took a few people to leave the earth and headed directly to the location of the Ark.

"A spaceship carrying Earth's gene bank, searching for a new home..."

Standing on the deck, looking at the universe passing by outside the porthole, Walter Yang looked a little melancholy.

“I never thought that there was such a plan in the past.”

"From the look of you, you don't seem surprised?"

Standing next to him, looking at Walter Yang, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, and the latter nodded.

"To be honest, we did have a face-to-face encounter with alien visitors several years ago..."

Having said that, Walter Yang looked out the window again.

"At that time, someone told me that the future of mankind lies in space, in the universe. He hoped that we, Anti-Entropy, could support him in building a spaceship to the universe, but the cost was too great and we couldn't afford it. Moreover, compared to exploring the universe, we also have to fight against the collapse..."

"So it turned into this ghost appearance?"

Fang Zheng mocked Walter mercilessly.

"Humans cannot leave the Earth, and will always be a fragile species living in a remote corner. I understand your desire for stability, but unfortunately, Honkai will not understand you. In any case, humans can only improve their civilization level to resist natural disasters. If you just seek stability, you will not make progress... But I can understand the United States."

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Walter Yang showed a bitter smile, then he looked at Fang Zheng.

"I heard that Shenzhou has already launched... a century-long space program?"

"Yes, I helped them solve some minor problems with materials and nuclear fusion. According to the next five-year plan, they will build a space station, then manned moon landing, followed by a lunar base, and then use the moon as a springboard to start the exploration and colonization journey within the solar system - this is a feat that human civilization could not achieve in the last century."

Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Walter Yang and smiled coldly.

"But I'm afraid you have no hope of reversing entropy. Just with nuclear fusion alone, you won't be able to convince those oil tycoons in the country. Or do you, as the First Ruler, plan to personally take action and hang all those old capitalists on street lamps? I think this is a good choice."

"Please stop joking, Mr. Yuuki."

Walter Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he did this, Anti-Entropy would definitely be under a full-scale siege by the US government.

"That's right. You are only at this level. You are good at maintaining the status quo but not aggressive enough. It is not really a disadvantage - although it is not an advantage either."

Fang Zheng made a casual comment, then turned and left. Only Walter Yang was still standing there, looking at the starry sky outside the window, lost in thought.

He had once had a similar conversation with someone in a similar place.

At that time, he knew some secrets outside the universe, but he still chose to protect the earth and mankind first.

Could it be... that my choice was wrong?

At this moment, Leander's voice appeared, returning to the cabin.

"We are about to jump to the designated location, please be prepared."
