Chapter 401: Black Hole Transport System, the Changes of Earth and Mars
Warship War, the Supreme Conference Room.
Looking at the four people opposite him, Chu Yang could clearly see the huge changes they had undergone during this period.
First was Ge Xiaolun; the Earth war of those years forced him through metamorphosis and growth, and the subsequent peace gradually turned him into a tech‑nerd.
Chu Yang remembered that when he left, the fellow had already begun shifting from a tech‑nerd toward a chubby‑nerd.
But now Ge Xiaolun seemed to have a second spring, looking vigorous and bearing a hint of a great general's demeanor.
Although only in shorts and a T‑shirt, he exuded a sharp aura; his sinewy muscles radiated power, and the stubble on his face plus a scar at the corner of his eye added a touch of maturity and world‑worn grit.
In contrast, Leina now carried more of the bearing of a superior; the goddess of the Blazing Sun Civilization had finally transformed completely into an empress.
By contrast, Qiangwei's gaze and demeanor gave a sense of thunderous decisiveness, a blood‑iron aura sweeping toward them.
What surprised Chu Yang most was Mo Gan Na; the fellow seemed to have lost some fanaticism and extremism, gaining a few degrees of gentleness and easygoingness.
If the former Mo Gan Na was an almost mad extremist, the present her resembles a scholar devoted to academia.
"Instructor, over there in the Void..."
Ge Xiaolun and Qiangwei appeared slightly restrained when facing Chu Yang.
Even though they have now become leading figures of their respective civilizations, before Chu Yang they still seemed like rookies who had just joined the elite troops.
Leina, however, appeared more composed; privately she still regarded Chu Yang as an instructor, but publicly, as the representative of the Blazing Sun Civilization, she had to keep up appearances.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "The Void is no longer fearsome now, but I have only temporarily sealed the Void rift."
"I still have some matters unclear; once I sort everything out, I will permanently exile the Void."
"By then, the Void will pose no threat to the Known Universe any longer."
Hearing this, Ge Xiaolun instantly became excited; the fellow was a bit over‑the‑top at heart, and his bloodline carried the trait of a loyal commander, making him deeply concerned about the universe's safety.
After all, if the universe faces disaster, Earth would find it hard to be exempt.
"Tsk... aren't you pretty close with that old imp He Xi?"
Mo Gan Na lazily replied, "Since we need to expand the Wormnet, why not go find her?"
Her remark clearly alluded to the gossip between Chu Yang and He Xi, teasing on purpose.
Chu Yang retorted irritably, "The core of the Wormnet lies in the Worm Motion Algorithm; in this regard, the illustrious Demon Queen Mo Gan Na and the Temporal‑Space Qiangwei are the only ones in the Known Universe!"
With those words, Chu Yang suddenly noticed the expressions of those present shifting.
Ge Xiaolun, Leina and Qiangwei looked oddly unsettled, while Mo Gan Na's aura gradually darkened.
Chu Yang was momentarily stunned, unsure why; Ge Xiaolun cleared his throat lightly, "Um... Instructor, the Apocalypse King dislikes bringing up past matters..."
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised at Mo Gan Na, or rather... Liang Bing...
This fellow actually 'reformed'?
In fact, Liang Bing's mindset is easy to understand; it's like a rebellious girl who, after outgrowing her rebellion, looks back on past deeds as one would view a dark history.
Liang Bing has always been hot‑tempered; now that the Demon Civilization has an heir, she has no worries behind her, so no one dares mention the Demon Queen era before her.
In other words, Chu Yang, if someone else had spoken those words, that woman would probably have turned hostile.
"Let's get down to business! You called us here, not just for the Wormnet, right?" Leina steered the conversation back on track.
Expanding the Wormnet doesn't actually require such elaborate effort.
Since Chu Yang can maintain the Wormnet's absolute stability, former reservations vanish, and they can freely maximize its coverage.
For Chu Yang, the most crucial part of the Wormnet is the Wormhole Algorithm.
But for the other four, the real difficulty lies in the Wormnet's stability and fault tolerance.
Once absolute stability is achieved, combined with Ge Xiaolun's large framework and sufficient energy support, Liang Bing and Qiangwei can boost the algorithm's strength without limit.
"Exactly, I called you here today not only to expand the Wormnet but also for another matter..."
After a moment's thought, Chu Yang continued, "This matter concerns the Void rift; to permanently exile the Void we still need some preparatory work."
"I need you to construct a Black Hole Transport System!"
"In short, by using an inherent Black Hole Engine, we augment the Wormhole Algorithm atop the power of the Black Hole."
Hearing this, the usually nonchalant Liang Bing sat up a few inches, frowned, and said, "Even if it succeeds, I fear even Earth's Three Gods couldn't bear the load of using Black Hole transport!"
That would be akin to bearing the pressure of a wormhole on one side while shouldering the Black Hole's adverse effects on the other.
Black Holes, even in today's Known Universe, remain synonymous with mystery and the unsolvable.
Aside from Chu Yang, no one in the Known Universe can fully command a Black Hole's power, nor endure its load.
In the Black Hole Transport System, the required tolerance to the Black Hole's negative impact and power is not the half‑baked force that Hua Ye once employed.
Rather, it equates to the full pressure one would endure when stepping directly into a Black Hole! "No need to consider implementation effects; this was never built for a divine body."
Chu Yang waved his hand, "I'll solve the Drive issue; you just need to build the complete Black Hole Transport System and install it onto the Drive."
"Don't worry about the load; the pressure will be borne only by the Void, causing no impact on the Known Universe."
"Of course, you also need to consider whether, after the Drive is loaded with the Black Hole Transport System, it can be compatible with stellar energy..."
"Additionally, during the Wormnet expansion and Black Hole Transport System research, I will grant you partial permissions of Pan Gu."
Everyone understood his meaning and now had a rough direction.
However, a crucial question remained: the Drive Chu Yang mentioned.
Even Earth's Three Gods cannot bear that power; what material Drive could give Chu Yang such confidence, even certainty of flawless success? After this impromptu meeting, Liang Bing and Qiangwei returned straight to the Dark Nebula, while Chu Yang and Ge Xiaolun first followed Leina for a tour around Mars.
Today's Mars has undergone earth‑shattering changes; although it still resembles a centralized imperial system, many policies and ideas are no longer rigidly conservative.
In Leina's words, the current Blazing Sun people's mindset has progressed to the level of Earth's pre‑nuclear era.
After leaving Mars, Chu Yang and Ge Xiaolun headed straight for Earth.
Earlier on Warship War, even from a distance Chu Yang could see that Earth had changed dramatically.
From a space‑borne perspective, Earth now resembles a steel fortress, armed to the teeth.
Satellite defenses have been further developed and employed; all satellites have been converted into semi‑mechanical worlds that can interlink when needed, forming a space Great Wall.
It sounds somewhat fantastical, but under SuoRui's control, it is not difficult.
The weapon configurations on these satellites need no further explanation; with the support of the blazing sun's energy and the aid of angels and demons, Earth's technology can be called the best in the universe.
In contrast, the interior of Earth has not changed much; the overall environment is even better than before. With no over‑development, no ecological destruction, and no rampant mining of non‑renewable resources, the Earth's environment gradually recovers.
It is worth mentioning that Huaxia has several cities designated as active combat zones.
If the outer galactic defense line, the solar defense line, and the satellite lightning shield are breached, these active combat zones become Huaxia's final line of defense.
The three most critical cities are Tianhe City, Juxia City, and Luoyang City.
This is naturally also to commemorate certain events that occurred before the Earth entered the cosmos.
The Tianhe Campaign was the first battle between Earth and extraterrestrial civilizations, and its significance is far‑reaching.
Moreover, with Tianhe Goddess QiLin and Chu Yang both hailing from Tianhe City, the city acquires a legendary aura.
Before Chu Yang entered the void, the city renovation plan was already on the agenda, but those matters have always been handled by Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao and Huaxia's leader; Chu Yang did not intervene.
Luoyang City's peculiarity lies in the fact that Chu Yang once single‑handedly annihilated the entire Taotie Legion there.
The black curtain of that year not only obscured the heavens but also became a lingering gloom over the hearts of the cosmic deities.
Since then, Earth without gods became a thing of the past; Earth was propelled to a brand‑new height, and aside from the ever‑self‑destructive HuaYe, no cosmic deity dares to cross the divine boundary even a step.
Juxia City needs no further introduction; as the headquarters of the Xiongbing Corps, it is naturally of utmost importance.
Although the active combat zones are important military districts, the military has not imposed many restrictions on ordinary residents, who can still come and go freely.
However, there is one prerequisite: anyone residing in an active combat zone must be mentally prepared to face war at any moment.
Being vigilant in peace, if war truly reaches the interior, the residents of these cities will be the first to suffer, like fish caught in a net.
Even so, many people still line up, eager to move into these three cities.
The reason is simple: whether it is the Three Earth Gods, the Xiongbing Corps, or Chu Yang, they each hold an irreplaceable place in the hearts of Earthlings.
Being able to enter these three cities means getting a little closer to them…
Of course, no one believes any civilization in the universe is powerful enough to invade Earth.
Therefore, in their view, it makes no difference where they are.
If we step back ten thousand paces, even if the multiple layers of defense in the Milky Way are breached, Earth's final line of defense may not be effective.
North Star, as Huaxia's capital, is also highly valued, but with SuXiaoLi personally stationed there, additional defenses are unnecessary.
After all, North Star holds profound significance in Huaxia's collective mind, and both emotionally and rationally it should not undergo large‑scale reconstruction.
"Not bad! It seems Earth has finally gotten on the right track…"
In just half a day, Chu Yang's footsteps spanned the Nine Provinces, while GeXiaoLun stayed by his side, introducing him to Huaxia's many changes.
The two also took time to visit other nations, but compared with Huaxia, those countries lag far behind in both military strength and technological level.
"This is like the predecessors planting a tree and the successors enjoying its shade," GeXiaoLun said with a smile.
Listening to his seamless flattery, Chu Yang teased, "Looks like you've changed a lot!"
GeXiaoLun scratched his head and let out a goofy laugh.
Chu Yang stretched lazily and asked, "Teacher Rui, are you at the Super God Academy?"
GeXiaoLun thought for a moment, then said, "Should be there…"
"Should be?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
GeXiaoLun replied awkwardly, "Although the Super God Academy resurfaced in the universe because of the War Council, the specific matters have always been handled by me."
"Since half a year ago, Teacher Rui has become like a dragon that appears only by its head..."
Chu Yang knows that today's Earth Super God Academy serves as the headquarters of the Super God Academy, with branches established in major advanced civilizations.
However, the nature of the Super God Academy now differs greatly from before.
Plainly put, the current Super God Academy resembles a vassal of the War Council, or a research institute of the Cosmic Alliance.
The so‑called Cosmic Alliance refers to the major civilizations that have joined the War Council and, after establishing basic information exchange, have spontaneously formed a system.
A flash of white light flickered in Chu Yang's eyes; Pan Gu's calculation engine instantly enveloped the entire Earth and quickly locked onto the location of the Super God Academy headquarters.
He then laughed, "Lucky enough, it looks like Teacher Rui just returned; take me to meet him!"
GeXiaoLun nodded, then reached up to wipe nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
That half‑day truly left him breathless from exhaustion.
Chu Yang's speed was simply too fast; even when he pushes the universe to its limit and combines his own body with super genes, he can only barely keep up.
If he knew that Chu Yang deliberately throttled his speed to the lowest to accommodate him, GeXiaoLun might start questioning his own life…
Earth, Super God Academy headquarters, Vice‑President's office.
Actually, when the Super God Academy was first elevated to the cosmic level, Earth unanimously decided to appoint RuiZi as the Academy's President.
However, the old man was accustomed to a carefree, eccentric lifestyle, was somewhat odd, forgetful, and felt he could never compare to the Space President, so he never agreed.
With no other choice, the Super God Academy left the President's seat vacant and created two Vice‑President positions, filled by GeXiaoLun and RuiZi. Arriving at the office doorway, GeXiaoLun gently knocked, heard a response from inside, and said, "Teacher Rui, I'm XiaoLun!"
"Come in!" RuiZi's voice echoed.
GeXiaoLun opened the door, made a beckoning gesture toward Chu Yang, and after Chu Yang entered, he followed closely inside.
He placed the bundles of items on the coffee table and said cheerfully, "Teacher Rui, long time no see!"
Sitting on the sofa, wearing round glasses and holding a newspaper, RuiZi glanced at him and retorted irritably, "When you come to see me, it can't be good news!"
"Spill it! What do you want me to do for you this time?"
"Also… next time, don't bring these things, especially the walnuts!"
GeXiaoLun glanced at the small pile of walnut shells on the desk and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
RuiZi naturally saw Chu Yang as well, but remained indifferent and unsurprised, as if he had long expected Chu Yang to come.
GeXiaoLun laughed along, "Got it! I'll be careful next time!"
"But this time it's not me who came, it's Instructor Chu who wants to talk with you!"
Rui Zi puts down the newspaper, looks toward Chu Yang, and Ge Xiaolun politely bids farewell and leaves, also taking the room door with them.
