Chapter 798: Letter to Fellow Compatriots in Disaster
The entire alliance, as well as the entire Eastern Universe, were all linked together in the "Electrification" operation that lasted for several months.
When the connection work of the last planet was completed, Gu Hang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter what, he managed to preserve his base during this catastrophe.
After being "powered on", star travel is still not as safe as before, but it is now usable.
In the current environment, being able to achieve this level is already very satisfactory.
At least the whole league is jubilant now. Although the times are still difficult, at least the most difficult time is over.
There won’t be a big celebration, but at least people’s lives and the development of the alliance can get back on track.
But Gu Hang was not happy.
If we think about other areas of the empire, the situation is probably even worse and lamentable.
The only good news was that Gu Hang observed that as the subspace torrent passed through, the aftermath of the disaster was gradually alleviating.
This can't help but give people a hope: Will the disaster pass as time goes by?
As it turns out, it won’t.
When the subspace waves are reduced to a certain extent, they will no longer weaken and instead enter a very stable state.
Gu Hang could see by directly observing the subspace that after the guardian world named Cartier disappeared, what was left in the real universe was a wound that would never heal. The power of the subspace continued to leak out. Although it was not as turbulent as at the beginning, it was enough to maintain the existence of the scarlet scar and continuously and permanently change the real universe.
And the scarlet scar itself was still like a natural chasm, completely separating the two ends.
The disaster will not end unless the problem is solved from the root cause.
But how to eradicate the problem?
Gu Hang couldn’t even think of it now.
At least, from his perspective, there was nothing he could do.
In the subspace, even the God-Emperor can only temporarily avoid the edge, let alone him.
In the real universe, the Alliance is quite far away from the Gate of Hell, almost from the northeastern tip of the Empire to the southwest border of the Empire. When the Star Tunnel was still usable, it took two or three years to go there; now that the Star Tunnel is no longer usable, it is impossible to get there.
What should I do?
Gu Hang felt somewhat compassionate.
He was not thinking about the Central Empire or the insects on Holy Terra. It would be better if those high-ranking officials died one by one. It was pure dreaming to expect Gu Hang to be loyal to them or to share their worries.
However, Gu Hang would certainly be worried about the human race and the overall symbol of the "empire" that unites the entire ethnic group.
The background color of this universe is dark and terrifying. As a collection of all races, no matter how unbearable it is, objectively speaking, it seems to be the biggest reason why the human race can survive in the universe until now.
It has borne countless pressures over countless years.
No matter how many conflicts there were between the Alliance and the Central Empire before, Gu Hang never thought that the Alliance would be better without the Empire.
No.
Without the "tall man" of the Empire, the sky would fall and the Alliance would have to bear the consequences on its own.
If the human world outside the alliance fell one by one, Gu Hang couldn't imagine how powerful those enemies of humanity would be.
The green-skinned orcs will occupy a large number of worlds suitable for reproduction; the void Zerg that have devoured countless worlds will expand to an unimaginable extent; trillions and trillions of human souls sacrificed will become the most delicious food for the evil gods of the subspace...
Now the alliance can maintain temporary stability, and because it cannot contact the central government of the empire, it does not even have to pay trillions of imperial taxes every year.
But who can ensure peace in this life?
When the outside world is almost eaten up and the aliens and chaos reach the Alliance border, only the Alliance will be left to withstand those enemies that have been strengthened to the point of invincibility.
We must not let this happen!
Something has to be done.
The Alliance's native predicament has been resolved, and the minor aftereffects are not a big problem. Thanks to the timely handling and clear results, no serious Chaos invasion or rebellion has been triggered. Small-scale anti-explosion wars do not pose a challenge to the Alliance's current rule.
Now, Gu Hang is looking beyond the alliance.
The first thing he wanted to do was to get in touch with the Imperial Center and Holy Terra.
No matter how bad the relationship had deteriorated before, at least the two sides had not fallen out; so far, only Holy Terra had the authority to unify the entire empire.
Even if these are excluded, the power held by the central empire is still the strongest. Holy Terra alone, with a population of 2 trillion, is equivalent to an entire star field nearby. Not to mention, after thousands of years of accumulation, there is no telling how many secrets and foundations are buried in Holy Terra.
At the same time, the Solar Star Region where Holy Terra is located is the most developed area in the entire empire. It is not certain whether the Dragon Eagle Star Region has caught up with it now. The main reason is that Holy Terra and Mars are too powerful.
Even the nine cosmic regions in the central territory of the empire are also the places with the strongest average production capacity in the entire empire. Of course, if the current fourteen star regions of the alliance are added together as a cosmic region, it is probably more developed than the cosmic region in the central territory.
Bringing the Imperial Center back to life, or at least confirming their current status, would be of great help to the fate of the empire.
Gu Hang originally thought he had this ability.
I am a top psychic. In the entire subspace, if I'm not the first, if not the second, then at least I'm in the top third. Can't I do this?
It really can't be done.
Now, it can be basically determined that the Alliance and Holy Terra have been completely separated by the Scarlet Scar.
With the Great Rift running through the Empire, the two have become separated.
In the past, he could go to Holy Terra and make a psychic call to Gallardo at will. In fact, if he wanted, he didn't have to take a year-long ship ride, but could directly travel through it in his physical body and reach Holy Terra in a few days.
The price is nothing more than that it is more troublesome when crossing the subspace and it is easy to be targeted; at the same time, when Holy Terra descends, the noise is relatively loud and will inevitably be discovered by the Inquisition, the Imperial Guards, etc.
Compared to all that trouble, it’s better to just sit on the boat for a year.
However, at the moment he couldn't even make a phone call.
The subspace waves brought up by the Scarlet Scar were too turbulent. The journey used to be easy, but now it had to go through countless unreliable astral tunnels. Gu Hang could handle all of this. But when facing the Scarlet Scar, it was like a wall of sighs. All the news was blocked on this side of the wall and could not pass through.
If he had to go through it, Gu Hang would have to get to the edge of the wall - not only his physical body in reality, but also in the subspace.
The risk of the latter is quite high.
In the current subspace environment, if Gu Hang conceptually went to the side of the scarlet scar in the subspace and then broke through the wall, he would be courting death. In that process, nothing could protect him. And he would be completely exposed to the "hunters". In front of the four great gods, he was a mouth-watering delicacy.
And they are different from mortals. Sometimes, if the extradimensional existence in the subspace wants to eat a mortal hero, it has to spend a lot of effort to lure him into corruption. But Gu Hang has an essence in the subspace, so eating him doesn't require any drama of making up fate and lure him into corruption.
Find it and swallow it, that's enough.
He had to thank the Emperor. Without the protection of any big boss, he would have been eaten up as his psychic power grew and became more conspicuous in the subspace, and would never have reached his current level.
Since he could not go there in person and could not break through the Scarlet Scar in the warp, he had no way to contact Holy Terra.
All in all, there are about three universes in the central territory of the empire, all thirteen universes in the eastern territory, two universes in the northern territory are also cut in half here, and there are eight universes in the southern territory...
All in all, it’s almost half an empire.
Now, Holy Terra is on the other side of the Scarlet Scar. Does that mean Gu Hang can do whatever he wants in the half of the empire on this side?
In a sense, yes.
However, Gu Hang did not feel happy at all and just wanted to smile bitterly.
Thinking about how many troubles there are in the outside world now, he gets a headache.
Power always comes with responsibility.
But what can we do?
At this time, I can only say, who else but me?
…
Although we are mentally prepared to shoulder the responsibility of half the empire, we still have to be extremely cautious in actual operations.
Gu Hang knew that the outside world was in urgent need of being saved by the alliance, but food had to be eaten bite by bite, and territory had to be swallowed bite by bite... No, it had to be saved bit by bit.
The most important factor in saving the empire, or saving half of the empire, is the strength of the alliance itself. Gu Hang cannot be too aggressive in his pursuit of success. If he sends away his main force and puts the alliance into crisis, he will suffer a great loss.
During the rescue process, he didn't know how many monsters were waiting for him outside.
The Alliance General Staff formulated three cautious marching routes, each of which involved relatively little effort, and the target was the Magre Universe next to the Spider Web Universe.
This universe is not big, it is medium-sized, with eight star fields. There are nine star tunnels connecting it with the Spider Web Universe. We chose three of them and advanced cautiously with a fleet that was not particularly large.
Attacking the outer realms carries considerable risks.
The most important thing is during the voyage.
Although there is definitely a Thunder Torch Tower on the starting world on the Alliance side, there is none on the other side.
This process is similar to the previous "Power On" operation, lighting up the many alliance worlds, but it is a little more difficult.
In the alliance, Gu Hang's Kingdom of Storm God can play a certain role in protection. After all, not everyone in the alliance is chanting Gu Hang's name, but at least Gu Hang's identity as a leader is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whether it is positive emotions such as gratitude, trust, and love, or negative emotions such as hatred and fear, as long as they are not ignored or disregarded, they can play a role.
However, outside the alliance, the protective effect that the Storm God Kingdom can provide is greatly weakened.
This means that it will be more difficult when traveling across the astral world.
The Alliance's ships are equipped with more, even excessive, anti-chaos measures.
This so-called "standard" is the result of many valuable data similar to the navigation tests Jason Morgan conducted in the Fox Moon Star Region, as well as special test data from the Alliance Center, which resulted in the "Dangerous Navigation Manual".
But this thing may not be very reliable. The danger warning is clearly written in large letters on the first page of the manual.
The main reason is that the test data is not enough due to time constraints. At the same time, these data are obtained from sailing within the alliance. The alliance's technical experts believe that sailing within the alliance is safer than sailing outside.
Although the existing data standards have been raised to a certain level when the manual was compiled, the credibility of this is even more questionable.
In this first batch of three expeditionary fleets, even after being equipped with three times the manual standard measures, people still felt unsafe.
However, facts have proven that the alliance is strong but overly cautious.
The triple safety measure is still quite useful.
Even after passing through the astral tunnel and arriving outside the alliance, some chaos corruption inevitably appeared on the ship.
But firstly, the severity is not high, and secondly, it can be solved quickly.
The fleet is not just made up of the navy. Considering that saving external planets will inevitably involve the ground part, the army will inevitably send a large number of troops to follow the ships.
And when encountering chaos corrosion within these ships, there will naturally be sufficient manpower to resolve it.
At the same time, war may be the main theme, but another bigger theme is disaster relief. The warships were followed by a large number of transport ships. In addition to transporting the army and equipment, there were also abundant disaster relief supplies.
The alliance's expeditionary fleet arrived in the Magre universe with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.
…
Compared with the cautious advance of the Alliance Expeditionary Fleet, Gu Hang's other measure was much bolder and more radical.
That is in terms of communications.
If we can’t contact Holy Terra, can we also not contact the other imperial worlds that are also isolated on this side?
Of course you can.
It can even be said to be easier.
Even in the alliance, without the help of the alliance center, it took nearly half a year for Fox Moon Star Region to integrate all the planets together again. In other places outside the alliance, the problem of islandization will only be more serious.
People will always try to grasp at straws.
At this moment, Gu Hang could feel countless helpless communication signals flying out from various planets.
And Gu Hang intends to give them hope.
He asked the Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs to draft a "Letter to Fellow Citizens in Disaster" in the name of the High Lord.
