Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1142 441: Lord Ren Is Truly Extraordinary

After the discussion, Ying Feng returned to his "Iron Throne," called out a touchscreen control panel, and operated it swiftly. The Tracker Spaceship began to slowly maneuver.

The so-called creator of Source Star civilization, founder of Source Star Military Industry, and one of the Creator Gods, Ying Feng, was merely a pilot on this Tracker Spaceship.

Barton Augustus is a doctor.

The founder of Tianlong High-tech is a chef and nutritionist.

Fidina Locke is the energy manager of the Tracker Spaceship.

Ma Zhongfei is the network administrator.

Bessodes Alson is the materials manager, commonly known as the storeroom keeper.

Correspondingly, the others are the same.

Their status in the Mechanical Empire isn't really high.

Who among the true nobility would be sent out to do this thankless and risky job of managing the Tracker?

...

At this time, a holographic star projection appeared in the hall, representing the Tracker Spaceship as a sphere moving toward Yuanjin Star.

According to the simulation projection, the spaceship will pass by Yuanjin Star at an approximate distance of 600,000 kilometers, influenced by its gravity, then proceed in a zigzag path straight toward the inner Source Mercury orbit, closing in on Source Mercury two hours later and entering a synchronous satellite orbit around it.

During this process, the Tracker Spaceship maintained its invisible and defensive state.

Seeming to sense Ren Zhong's curiosity, Ying Feng added, "According to the Tracer Colonial Team Management rules, instability factors often appear before each major migration, so it's always best to be cautious, especially since we temporarily lack the 'web's' support."

Ren Zhong nodded in approval, "Yes, there are always some colonists who can't recognize reality correctly. Safety first."

After speaking, Ren Zhong stood up and said to Ma Zhongfei next to him, "In a while, Ma Zhongfei, you need to assist me. I need to verify the information transmission capability of your Tracker Spaceship; take me to the control room."

Ma Zhongfei, without suspicion, got up and led Ren Zhong to the information control room.

The two of them stood side by side on a flat flying device, traversing a long corridor.

Midway through, Ren Zhong suddenly said, "I remember, there's a requirement in the set-up a thousand years ago, that to activate the 'web's' backup system, a complete identification code must also be input, right?"

Ma Zhongfei responded with a sound, "Yes, is it not required now?"

Ren Zhong made a sound in agreement, "You have been misled by the Pilgrim, so it's normal not to know about the real-time news from the Empire. About fifty or sixty years ago, another Tracer Colonial Team's 'web' encountered a similar situation to yours, unable to actively recognize administrators. Meanwhile, there was another tragedy; one of the administrators happened to encounter a Lurking Sublimer Patrolling Hunter while briefly outside and unfortunately died. Subsequently, the Sublimers launched an attack on that colony. Since they were missing one person, they couldn't input the complete identification code. The 'web' didn't complete the redundant identification work, couldn't restart, and lacked enough computing power, so we suffered a shameful defeat at that colony. The colony was completely overrun, turned into a bride's outfit for the Sublimers."

Ma Zhongfei sucked in a cold breath at the story, visibly tense, trembling with fear, "That's really unfortunate. For millions of years, the 'web' has never malfunctioned. I don't know what's happening recently, even affecting us; this is the second case, right?"

Ren Zhong nodded, "Yes, but it's not surprising. The Empire is progressing, but our enemies improve faster. This is why we're at a disadvantage in the Galactic war, forcing us to leave seeds on Source Star. After all, in this entire Constant Star System, Source Star is the most convenient springboard to beyond the Star System."

Ma Zhongfei's eyebrows twitched, and he deliberately lowered his voice to cautiously inquire, "Has the situation become this severe? Is this why you previously didn't tell us the reason?"

In a heavy tone, Ren Zhong replied, "Yes. I only told you this. It's quite simple; I married Ma Xiaoling, so you and I are considered family now, which is why I trust you. Of course, you don't need to be too nervous; even if a defeat were imminent, it's not something that will happen in one or two years, or one or two hundred years. The Empire has existed for so long, so sustaining for another few millennia shouldn't be a problem. Keeping Source Star is merely as a precaution. After we return, the Empire might establish a military base here, detached from our homeland. I'm telling you this because I regard you as family, merely pointing out the landscape offhandedly. Remember not to speak of this to others. The Emperor's wisdom is not for us to casually speculate.
