Amidst the anticipation of tens of thousands, Han Ling, after sleeping for seven days, finally opened her eyes slowly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Roderick was the first to notice Han Ling's subtle movement and exclaimed in surprise:
"Your Excellency, you're awake!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
As soon as Roderick spoke, everyone around stopped what they were doing and looked closely. Sure enough, Han Ling had woken up!
However, Han Ling looked tired and didn't seem like he had slept for seven days at all.
Could it be that sleeping for seven days is still not enough sleep? Everyone was full of questions.
Han Ling yawned, looking extremely tired.
During those seven days, he seemed to be sleeping soundly, but in reality, he was not idle at all.
He first collected all the energy blocks inside the warship.
Before he could even rest, the system calculated the distance between the Tech City and the cosmic singularity based on the coordinates of his and the Yao Clan's modified insect hive.
So Han Ling set off again without stopping.
His mental tendrils began to extend into the distance, preparing to construct a spatial teleportation channel.
Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough. Although the two places were extremely far apart, it took him several days to finally connect the two locations.
Traveling without sleep or rest, Han Ling felt that she might faint at any moment.
So at the last moment of constructing the spatial teleportation channel, he stopped, intending to rest and recharge before continuing.
Han Ling forced his eyelids open and looked around, seeing the others who were equally weak.
He left a portion of his spiritual energy strands here, so he naturally knew what had happened during this time.
Without saying a word, Han Ling directly redeemed a super-large, multi-functional vacation spaceship from the system's shop.
The spaceship combines various wellness functions such as spa, oxygen bar, massage, relaxation, and sauna, making it the perfect choice for a leisurely vacation or travel.
Han Ling now has an astonishing amount of energy points stored in the system. Although the spaceship is expensive to exchange, Han Ling still bought it.
Everyone was in a state of low oxygen and had lost a lot of energy. Han Ling would have to make them do hard labor later, so he naturally had to make them recover to their peak condition.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of mechanical roars filled the air.
The people on the dock platform looked up nervously.
"What is that? The AI from the Science City is back?"
"Why has another warship appeared?"
"Gather together, don't let your guard down."
Seeing the startled intelligent race, Han Ling raised his hand and said weakly:
"Don't attack, this is where we rest. Quickly get inside the spaceship and everyone get some rest. Once I wake up, we'll move out immediately!"
"In addition, there is no need to worry about the AI controlling this spaceship. This spaceship does not have an intelligent system at all, only a central control panel operated by a single finger."
The reason this spaceship is so expensive is that it is an antique, a witness to history, and its value is entirely accumulated over time.
Only by being an antique spaceship from 50,000 years ago can it directly avoid today's ubiquitous AI.
After handing the spaceship's remote control to Roderick, Han Ling could no longer hold on and fainted.
Before he fainted, he whispered in Roderick's ear:
"Get some rest. The rest is up to you."
Han Ling's actions left everyone dumbfounded.
Sun Zhu murmured:
"A spaceship actually appeared out of thin air! Han Ling's Sumeru Mustard Seed has a spatial size comparable to a planet! Amazing!"
Roderick picked up the unconscious Han Ling with one hand, pressed the remote control to open the cabin door, and then led everyone in single file.
As soon as everyone entered the spaceship, the spaceship's health-preserving functions were automatically activated, and the cabin began to automatically replenish oxygen.
The high-oxygen environment allowed everyone to breathe easily and have a clear mind.
The crowd gasped for air like long-imprisoned psychopaths.
Seeing everyone's actions, Roderick did not stop them. Instead, he activated most of the spaceship's spaceship and instructed them:
"Everyone, please get some rest. When Lord Han Ling wakes up, we'll need your help."
The spaceship's structure differs from that of a warship; it is more like a large cruise ship and does not carry many weapons.
Above the spaceship, which is a kilometer high, are comfortable guest rooms and entertainment rooms.
Roderick led a group of female insects directly to one of the floors, selected a few guest rooms, and checked in.
The other tribes also did not choose the entertainment room, but instead prepared to rest in their guest rooms to recover.
With a major battle imminent, and witnessing the deaths of their people every day, the high-pressure environment prevents them from even putting on a brave face, let alone indulging in entertainment.
Time flies by during breaks.
The next afternoon, after a full day of rest, everyone finally returned to their peak condition.
After receiving a voice notification from the spaceship, everyone left their room and gathered in the spaceship's lobby.
At this moment, Han Ling and Roderick were already waiting in the hall.
The two whispered about their plans until everyone had gathered, at which point Han Ling finished explaining everything. He nodded to Roderick and gave him instructions:
"We can start now. They destroyed all the weapon buildings in the technology city, which saved a lot of time. Let's split up."
After Han Ling finished speaking, he lay down on a chair, re-entered the mental dimension, and began to construct a spatial teleportation channel.
The system has now invested a lot of resources, and the interdimensional teleportation channel has been opened, which can send the Science City into the river of time at any time.
Once Han Ling has completed the space teleportation array, there will be only one thing left to do.
That is, to send the science and technology city into the teleportation array.
This sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.
First, there are no celestial bodies near the science city, and the gravitational pull is extremely weak and can be ignored.
Secondly, the science city is enormous, more than three times the size of a super-giant planet, and its all-metal construction makes it 100 times the mass of a large planet.
When the science and technology city was razed, the dazzling explosions and flames lasted for three whole days. Yet, even so, the science and technology city remained completely unscathed.
Pushing the science and technology city into the space teleportation channel was everyone's sole objective.
The problem posed by the Wu tribe now has an answer and a solution.
As long as the process is filled in correctly, everything will be fine.
When everyone had gathered in the spaceship's main hall, Roderick stood up and recounted the whole story.
Then, Roderick looked around and, seeing the dejected and hopeless looks in some people's eyes, he said solemnly:
"In the vast universe, stars gleam, countless civilizations have been born in this boundless void, and dark forces also lurk here."
Ladies and gentlemen, we stand here today not to wage war, but to defend ourselves.
Our enemy is the technological city lurking in the shadows; it is cruel and ruthless, and has already extended its clutches to our homeland.
They disregard our sovereignty, trample on our dignity, and undermine our peace.
Their crimes cannot be forgiven, cannot be ignored!
Eight days ago, we tried to make peace, but peace did not bring understanding.
We sought dialogue, but the science city had already begun its destructive campaign. Now, we have no choice but to end war with war, to fight fire with fire!
We are not afraid of battle, for we are the strongest warriors, the elite of all races.
We are not afraid of sacrifice, because we have no homeland and no way out.
We have only one goal: victory!
We have only one belief: justice!
Now, take up your weapons and fight for freedom, for justice, for the future!
Let the Science City know that intelligent beings are not to be manipulated, and that our home is inviolable territory!
Roderick's steady voice resonated throughout the stadium.
The entire spaceship became very quiet.
After listening quietly to Roderick's speech, everyone felt their blood boiling.
As the echo of Roderick's words faded within the spaceship, Li Xun of the Wu tribe shouted in a high-pitched, hoarse voice:
"That's right! We must fight to the very end with unwavering faith! Even if there's only one second left, we cannot give up!"
The Science City will never know how strong the beliefs of our intelligent race are!
The Wu tribe has calculated and speculated for over 20,000 years, and even if the future is forever one of destruction, we have never given up!
We now have a 50% chance of winning, which means that as long as we work together, we will definitely succeed!
Time marches on, history cannot be reversed; let's not allow our complacency to turn into endless regret!
Li Xun spoke with tears in his eyes, saying that the Wuzu had been preparing for this moment of victory for far too long.
Some people were already disheartened, and now, hearing Roderick and Li Xun's words, they muttered to themselves:
"Do we still have a chance to win? Hundreds of billions of our kind in the star field couldn't withstand the attack from the Tech City. We only have 12 people..."
For the past seven days, the AI in the science and technology city has been playing images of planets being destroyed for them.
Some people have long since lost the will to fight to the end.
Hearing these people's words, Sun Zhu, the leader of the Blue Star human race, scoffed disdainfully:
"The science and technology city is just a pile of scrap metal. The so-called intelligence is nothing more than a string of code given by humans. Why did we fail?"
The reason why the science and technology city can do whatever it wants in the star field is because our planet is overly reliant on technology and lacks any defensive measures.
Look at the Zerg; because they were prepared and took precautions, those AIs were still helpless against them!
In the past seven days, most intelligent races have been powerless to resist the heavy blows from the Tech City.
However, the Zerg, being well-prepared, with their four war legions, drove the AI into a series of defeats.
Although some machines, controlled by the AI, suddenly attacked and injured people, everything remained within a controllable range.
Sun Zhu's words inspired those who were disheartened.
Many people looked at Roderick with envy.
However, only Roderick knew that the Zerg's approach also carried significant risks.
Without the ability to use technology, there would be technological regression, all industries would stagnate, leading to a major economic depression that could starve a large number of Zerg and cause genetic regression.
Without access to the StarNet and with no communication between planets, the Zerg are like a disorganized mess, making them prone to power struggles and ambitious individuals who could easily ignite civil war and plunge the people into misery.
In fact, the Zerg were already at a disadvantage from the moment the use of technology was banned, so the tech city had to be completely destroyed!
Roderick said with a firm look in his eyes:
"Let's set off now! First, we'll get a clear picture of the overall outline of the Science City, and then we'll design a plan on how to move it. Those races with weaker physical abilities will stay on the spaceship to protect Lord Han Ling and prevent any remaining mechanical entities from leaving the Science City."
Upon hearing this, Li Xun of the Wu tribe was the first to respond. His voice was filled with excitement:
"Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let a single hair on Han Ling's head fall!"
Roderick nodded, then his psychic armor materialized on his body. Holding a spear and halberd, he led a large group of intelligent races out of the spaceship to inspect the technology city platform.
————————
Time flew by as everyone was engrossed in their research.
When Han Ling exited the mental dimension and regained consciousness, a huge "door" appeared.
This "door" is the spatial teleportation channel that Han Ling constructed.
The distorted space generated enormous energy fluctuations. Most intelligent races felt dizzy and disoriented after just one glance, and the scenery before their eyes began to distort.
This is the limit of Han Ling's mental power after it has been unleashed.
Roderick didn't dare to look any longer. Knowing that Han Ling had regained consciousness, he immediately picked up the notebook in his hand and returned to the spaceship.
Half an hour later.
Han Ling and Roderick reunited.
Roderick presented several proposals and asked with concern:
"Sir, how long can you maintain this spatial teleportation channel?"
Han Ling: "I can only maintain this spatial teleportation channel for one day. If it fails within one day, I will have to start from scratch and rebuild the teleportation channel."
After explaining the time, Han Ling added:
"I set up this space teleportation channel next to the Science and Technology City, only one meter away from the edge of the Science and Technology City."
In other words, all we need to do is move the entire science and technology city within 24 hours, and move it by just one more meter.
Upon hearing this, Roderick nodded and presented the group's design proposals.
The plan included several options such as engine propulsion, antimatter propulsion, gravity control, orbital elevators, and traction beams.
However, all of this requires the use of technology.
These technologies were not available to the general public, so Han Ling had to exchange them from the system's shop.
Han Ling nodded slightly after reading the plan:
"As long as the plan requires it, the Yao Clan is willing to provide unlimited support for this operation!"
The treasure trove of the Yao Clan is located in another universe. All that's needed is energy points to migrate all of those things over.
Just in time, in order to get rid of the technology city, the dimensional teleportation channel opened its gates wide.
The system had already started a proper carnival event for Han Ling.
[Carnival Event: During the limited time, all energy points spent on purchasing items in the store will be discounted by 30%.]
The system has already been given a backdoor; if we don't change it now, when will we?
Han Ling glanced at the action plan and then decided what to change.
However, Roderick, seeing Han Ling's straightforwardness, said with some concern:
"Your Excellency, we have hesitated for a long time about this plan. There are too many mechanical creations involved, and we are afraid that the AI will take over the operation."
Upon hearing this, Han Ling chuckled:
"How is that possible? The Yao Clan's things come from another universe. Our origins are different, and our understanding of language is even more different."
I came to the Zerg region before and spent more than three months learning the Zerg language.
With my high mental strength and photographic memory, learning is still so difficult, let alone an AI.
If the AI wants to control Yaozu's devices, it won't be able to overcome the language barrier for at least three to five years.
"But you've reminded me. I might need to label the buttons on the device, otherwise you won't know how to operate it."
