Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1300 - 494: Eternal Night and Eternal Day

Accompanied by flashes of metallic coating-like glow, one spacecraft after another arriving here from a four-light-year journey is undergoing the final test—Fold Jump navigation.

The hardships encountered along the way need not be elaborated, most people have felt them profoundly.

Sixty-two and a half years, spanning the efforts of three generations, finally culminate in this moment.

These ships were designed with the requirement of entering the Fold Jump Subspace Channel in mind, and their equipment is technically sound.

The network controlled by Sun Ai has acquired the relevant technical parameters. All that is needed is to activate the force field shields on the surface of the ships at specific frequencies to mimic the physical structure of subspace, allowing them to safely and stably enter, and then traverse the long distance of 3 light years at a speed of 0.1 times the absolute speed of light, which translates to 10 times the speed of light in three-dimensional space.

At this time, within the entire Source Star civilization, those who once experienced Fold Jump navigation in subspace are only found in the Alson Annulus Ship fleet that stopped returning a hundred years ago.

This fleet, composed of a thousand Annulus Ships, was briefly owned by Liu An, twice. Liu An snatched this fleet from nine Viscount families due to issues with the "Network" nodes on Source Star.

After the "Network" repair and the successful dispatch of the Source Star Fleet, Liu An ceased the economic sanctions against the nine Viscount families and returned the two million crew members who were forced into labor on these thousand transport ships.

Of course, at the time, Liu An did not return the transport ships. Mosquito legs may be small, but they are still meat. A thousand Annulus Ships were but a trifle in Liu An’s wealth, yet wealth nonetheless.

But when Ren Zhong rose unexpectedly and became a Viscount, Liu An, though unwilling, had to legally return the thousand Annulus Ships.

Although the nine Viscount families looked on enviously, they couldn’t openly make a move. So they reorganized the fleet with over four million crew members and their offspring, and a thousand Annulus Ships, allowing them to elect a new general manager and establish a business operation, awaiting the Source Star Fleet to take over.

Yet soon after, news came that the Source Star Fleet was annihilated in the Black Mist Zone, and the good news of Ren Zhong’s untimely death as a promising Viscount.

Nanxiang’s Earldom quickly executed the majority of the Source Star Shipping company’s high-levels and took full control.

Unexpectedly, Ren Zhong miraculously came back to life.

Helpless, Nanxiang’s Earldom had to withdraw all the parachuted executives, allowing the much-transfered ownership shipping company to restructure its management and move to South Nine C to establish its headquarters early.

The millions of people in Source Star Shipping finally ended their tumultuous journey, returning under the banner of Source Star humanity, not without twists and turns.

At this time, no one in the Source Star Fleet had experienced Fold Jump Subspace Channel navigation, most people excitedly gathered near the ships’ observation windows, hoping to capture an unforgettable image of their first experience.

Of course, this is destined to be a futile luxury.

Although the energy levels are changing intensely, the human eye can see almost nothing, only eerie, bottomless darkness.

Meanwhile, the Throne Hall on the Tracker Spaceship is in a heated debate, with no one concerned about entering the Fold Jump Channel.

After Ren Zhong registered the title through Wen Yuanbo, intelligence related to the Empire could finally be fully disclosed to all Source Star humans.

Following a period of rapid learning, everyone in this Throne Hall now has a more comprehensive understanding of the Mechanical Empire’s political system, finally able to participate in decisions.

Those qualified to sit in the Throne Hall are high-rank talents within the fleet system, selected through many layers and long-term management roles that developed stronger abilities and sharper logic.

This is the result of Ren Zhong’s long-term empowering governance.

He has been mentally exhausted carrying the burden alone for too long, now welcoming others to share wisdom, assisting with tasks.

The main controversy in the hall at this moment revolves around the awkward planet South Nine C.

The Immigration Director did not lie; South Nine C is indeed a planet within the habitable zone of a star, with a suitable size and diameter, even having a human-friendly atmosphere injected by large-scale surface modification machinery.
