Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1258 - 480: The End of the Mother Empress Ship Campaign, a New Beginning for Source Star Civilization_2

This might be an inevitability after natural selection, or perhaps a capability developed through proactive evolution. The Mother Empress Ships, which generate shields at a relatively slow pace, have likely been annihilated amidst the wars between the four Star Countries.

The external light was too intense, so much so that Ren Zhong could not discern the condition of the Mother Empress Ship from God’s Eye View while maintaining this distance. Until God’s Eye View concluded, he still saw nothing.

But that does not mean his actions have failed.

According to data provided by the Empire, a Three-Phase Bomb explosion of this yield can absolutely tear apart the shield, causing substantial damage to the Mother Empress Ship.

It’s just unfortunate he couldn’t see it this time.

...

7732.

After spending several hours arranging everything, Ren Zhong stepped out of the office, feeling somewhat preoccupied.

He has verified the feasibility of the plan through Blast Seed. No changes should be made in research and production.

After all, last time’s fold jump was actually an accidental success.

Based on model calculations, the success rate of this fold jump is less than 1%, yet luck exploded and it actually succeeded.

Comprehensive factors such as the energy supply system related to fold jumping, oscillation system of energy states, the processes of evasive maneuvers in flights, the deformation generated when avoiding enemy lines, and the impact of tremors on the ship all just happened to meet the standards for fold jump, culminating in the success of this strike.

Thus, if no actual changes are made, this "luck" might be maintained at this timeline.

But the issue is, if he wants to continue, he cannot assume the role of pilot for this suicide ship; a person who can perfectly recreate his every move must replace him.

Apart from Wang Qiao, no other comes to mind.

But the problem is, this time the death is real.

He will not be resurrected.

Ren Zhong does not want Wang Qiao to die, nor does he want Ma Xiaoling or anyone else to die.

Call him selfish, or whatever else.

He truly doesn’t want to see his trusted allies and important people sacrifice.

But someone has to do this task.

...

As before, those trusted allies who once abandoned him all reawakened at Zheng Tian’s call and appeared before him again.

This time, as in the past, Wang Qiao voluntarily stayed behind alone.

Ren Zhong didn’t need to ask to know what he wanted to say.

Sure enough, Ren Zhong raised an eyebrow, yet before he could speak, Wang Qiao took the initiative to say, "Manager Ren, I think you should reconsider whether to personally take action."

Ren Zhong nodded slightly.

This time, he didn’t proactively ask Wang Qiao’s intention, letting the other speak first, slightly changing the dialogue.

But Ren Zhong had new thoughts, so he accelerated the pace and proactively said, "I understand your meaning. The return journey indeed appears long and fraught with dangers. But the Water Drop Ship that is about to be improved will meet all standards, and risks of explosion along the way are virtually nonexistent. I have acquired reliable intelligence, knowing the enemy’s origin, their forces, and specific military capabilities. The enemy is incredibly strong; we have no escape, only by turning back to confront them do we have a sliver of hope. Turning back is nine out of ten risks, but it has to be done. The only chance of success lies in miracles. The only way to strive for significance is through the way we sacrifice. I’m bound to go because only my presence on-site ensures the success rate isn’t zero."

Wang Qiao shook his head, "The Tracker Spaceship is a product of the Empire, its extreme flying capabilities certainly outmatch the Annulus Ship and Source Star-class Armed Ship. Manager Ren, you can use the Tracker to take the most core resources and personnel to leave alone. If some people can leave, let them leave; at least the Source Star civilization might still have continuity."

Ren Zhong’s tone suddenly became profound, "So you also understand my initial intention?"

Wang Qiao’s face turned pale, after a moment he sighed deeply, "So Manager Ren, you truly had no choice then."

Ren Zhong did not reply, instead asked, "If I really took people away, what about you, Wang Qiao? What’s your plan? Are you coming with me?"

Wang Qiao’s face showed a struggle and hesitance, but immediately he resolutely stated, "Someone must stay behind to cover the retreat, so I..."

Ren Zhong: "You don’t hate me? Ready to die for me?"

Wang Qiao: "I did hate, but when I knew Manager Ren intended to personally lead the Suicide Squad to return and block the enemy, I didn’t hate so much. I’ve also figured out some truths, position dictates responsibility. We can’t reach your height, can’t oversee the whole picture, so there’s always narrow-mindedness in how we perceive things. Thus, I think maybe my hatred was somewhat superficial. Just considering from a personal perspective instead of elevating to the height of the entire civilization. Since we chose to follow you previously, we actually should have unconditionally trusted you, regardless of what you did, you had your reasons. Your rights and wrongs, achievements and failures should always be judged by later generations."
