At this time, there are only 5 minutes left before the super helium flash explodes from the red giant!
Chang Wei stared blankly at the slot of the mobile base on the system panel for a long time, and a bold idea gradually emerged in his mind.
So, Chang Wei immediately shouted to the system in his heart.
"System, my mobile base's slot is still empty. If I recruit the ELS mother planet into the mobile base's slot, can I save it?"
The system mechanically replied, "Yes, but it requires the other party's permission. Furthermore, such recruitment and storage of large celestial bodies also consumes a large amount of energy, so it's not free. The system will charge the host a handling fee of mission points as a cost of signing the contract."
"Because the ELS home planet isn't a mobile base, its combat capabilities are extremely low. While the host can modify it later, the construction time and material consumption will be borne entirely by the host. Once selected, the system assumes no responsibility. Are you sure you want to pay the mission points?"
In other words, once Chang Wei chooses to save the ELS's home planet, he will not only lose a precious mobile base slot, but will also be unable to provide him with effective assistance like a real mobile fortress, planet fortress, space star city, home megastructure, or space ark for a short period of time.
How to choose? Do you really have to give up your life in the face of your own gains and losses?
Chang Wei's eyes were long and he was silent for a long time. He slowly raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
He thought of the people's perseverance and courage, faith and determination in The Wandering Earth.
What is it that drives people to keep moving forward and never give up? Chang Wei already has the answer in his heart.
"I... choose hope!"
Bang!
Without hesitation, Chang Wei directly clicked on the option to confirm payment in the system interface.
The next second, an invisible ripple, carrying the power of the system, was transmitted to the ELS mother planet, as if conducting a silent communication.
"There are only 50 seconds left until the super helium flash arrives!"
"There are only 20 seconds left until the super helium flash arrives!"
"There are only 10 seconds left until the super helium flash arrives!"
Finally, at the last moment, the two sides reached some kind of agreement. The ELS's home planet, in a super helium flash, instantly vanished, as if it had been transported through space.
But Chang Wei knew that he succeeded!
In his own system interface, the slot of the mobile base is where the ELS's home planet is parked.
Then, a system pop-up window appeared in front of Chang Wei.
"The host already has the first planetary mobile fortress. Please name it."
Chang Wei thought about it and felt that after all, it was his first mobile fortress, and it also demonstrated his determination to give up interests and choose hope.
So, Chang Wei named it: Star of Hope!
"Ding! Planet Mobile Fortress, the Star of Hope has been named successfully. The data list is expanding..."
Name: Star of Hope.
Total mass: 1600 trillion trillion tons.
Diameter: km.
Planet Gaia: ELS Hive Consciousness.
Defensive Armament: None.
Starport: None.
Mobile Engine: None.
Super Weapon: None.
Current crew: 900 million mutant metal life forms.
After reading this data, Chang Wei did not dislike its blank attribute, but instead felt a little bit excited.
Because in the system's recruitment list, the mobile fortresses, planet fortresses, space star cities, home megastructures, and space arks that can be recruited are only the size of satellites, at most a few thousand kilometers and as large as the moon.
The cheapest Vulture City is only about 45 kilometers in diameter. The Death Star is slightly larger, but only has a diameter of 120 kilometers.
But the Star of Hope has a diameter of kilometers and a total mass of 1.6 trillion tons? What does that mean? That's just... slightly smaller than the Earth!
This is a real planet! Once transformed into a planetary mobile fortress with all the necessary configurations, its power will be absolutely terrifying! It will far surpass most mobile bases listed in the system.
Chang Wei kept swallowing his saliva and began to fantasize in his mind.
However, he did not get too carried away. After all, it would take considerable effort and cost to complete the transformation of the Star of Hope, and it could not be done in a hurry.
Therefore, we should quickly complete the mission in this world and then return to the Ymir galaxy to develop slowly.
Boom!
The super helium flash struck the gaseous planet, instantly creating a massive concussion. The Light Chaser fleet, positioned behind this shelter, could clearly see countless blazing whips of light dancing and swishing from the circular edge, shooting off into the distance.
Gazing at this extraordinary beauty, Chang Wei couldn't help but marvel at the dangers and wonders of the universe. How could he have imagined that one day he would be able to command a powerful fleet to traverse the stars and carry out rescue missions?
hehe.
Chang Wei shook his head in self-mockery, feeling fortunate that a "waste" with no talent at all could actually attract the arrival of the system. Simply... how lucky he was!
But who knows, maybe there really is something about me that can attract the system to bind? For example... the protagonist's aura? Hahaha.
This super helium flash lasted for more than two hours before it ended. Chang Wei looked back at the red giant star that had doubled in size. While feeling emotional, he also knew that this galaxy was doomed and there was no point in staying there.
Perhaps this is the true meaning of life, the cycle of evolution.
"All troops, enter the star field coordinates, let's return to Earth."
.......................................
A faint laugh suddenly came from the system's deep consciousness space.
"The strong prey on the weak, the fittest survive. The demise of a single living being means nothing to the vast natural world, to the profound and vast starry sky, to the rolling river of time, to the infinite possibilities of the universe."
"Once you're dead, you're dead. Who can avoid death?"
"Animals, trees, humans, stars, good people, bad people, the weak, the strong, are all lowly... are all lowly... are all straw dogs!"
"As long as you realize this, you will be able to see through all the truths! You will... possess divinity!"
"This divinity, if you take even a tiny step towards the light, you become a Buddha! If you take even half a step towards darkness, you become a demon!"
"In the end...will you choose a completely opposite path from me? Hehehehahahaha..."
