Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1268 - 483: Farewell to Resurrection, Advancing Toward the Empire, and the Single-Particle Universe Hypothesis

"In these eleven years, energy, materials, and biotechnology have been the fleet’s three most crucial scientific research sectors. Their importance is similar, but you’ve demonstrated the best all-around abilities, which is why Qingmeng promoted you initially. I agree with her judgment; you’ve done quite well over the years."

Ren Zhong, still looking youthful, stood up and patted Isu Rock on the shoulder.

Nobody knows when Ren Zhong developed the habit of patting others on the shoulder.

Perhaps it was instinctual for him, but others always felt invigorated by his slightly intimate gesture.

Isu Rock was just 24 years old when he took office, and now he’s just over thirty. Although well-nourished and with better Anti-aging Potion, making him appear not old at thirty with only a few wrinkles at the corner of his eyes, he still looks significantly older than Ren Zhong.

Nonetheless, Isu’s spirit was lifted. He nodded firmly and said clearly, "Thank you for your praise, my lord. I will continue to strive, not failing your trust."

"Hmm, go ahead. I’m just awake routinely with no special arrangements for now; you go on with your work."

After encouraging the other, once the person had left, Ren Zhong sat back at his desk and opened the Star Map.

Moments later, Ren Zhong suddenly spoke, "Sun Ai."

"Yes!"

Ren Zhong: "Prepare a shuttle for me."

Ren Zhong has established war merits, and those merits have passed the Empire Super Network’s verification, granting him a lifetime Earl and Hereditary Viscount titles. If he can successfully arrive at South Nine Star with giant reproductive cells, entering the Empire territory, or precisely decode the gene bank in giant reproductive cells en route and receive the Royal Academy of Sciences’ certification, he will gain a Hereditary Earl title.

The Empire has already disclosed more new technologies to him according to the changes in titles.

In these eleven years, the Source Star Fleet has never ceased updating equipment. If there were space docks, the fleet would have even wanted to update and improve the Annulus Ship and Armed Battleship’s main structure, power modules, and force field shields, etc., core components to allow the fleet to reach a cruising speed close to 0.15 times the speed of light.

The big ones can’t be moved, but the small ones are good to handle.

Now, the Source Star Fleet has comprehensively improved the performance of Reconnaissance Ships. The thoroughly transformed Reconnaissance Ship has been named "Eye." Eye possesses long-distance cruise capabilities at 0.15 times the speed of light and is far superior to previous generation reconnaissance ships in firepower, detection methods, camouflage abilities, hull strength, and more.

In addition, the Source Star Fleet has also newly developed medium-small warships with a crew of fifteen, named "Strong Bow." Strong Bow ships can load two hundred medium-range Missiles; the top has two enhanced Beam Energy Cannons; the exterior has a total of sixty-four kinetic high-speed machine guns using self-thrust bullets, plus thirty-two small Beam Energy Cannons. Strong Bow ships come in two types, one is a manned warship, the other is an unmanned ship equipped with artificial intelligence silicon chips with certain self-learning and bionic logic.

But the truly most essential achievement in these eleven years is the multi-functional special ship - "Shuttle," developed in cross-space collaboration between Qianmen’s ten sons and the Military Research Institute in the Source Star System. Shuttle has 0.2 times the speed of light cruise capability and is extremely flexible. The ship’s body uses a lot of dismantling materials from the Mother Empress Ship’s Reproductive Subunits, is coated on the surface with Critical Poison Sting epidermis synthesis, and features "Chaos"’s information flow interference device. So far, the entire fleet has only produced nineteen, reserved for the elite warriors. Eighteen have already been sent on reconnaissance and warning missions at the front, leaving one on standby in the Tracker Spaceship.

Sun Ai did not ask what Ren Zhong intended to do with a Shuttle, just reported five minutes later that it was ready.

An hour later, Ren Zhong sat in this Shuttle spaceship, which he named Time Shuttle.

The Shuttle utilizes bionic principles; its form looks like a large manta ray.

This special shape significantly reduces the spaceship’s frontal projection area, lowering the chance of front collision with cosmic dust during high-speed maneuvers.

The larger wings’ exterior is covered with structures resembling pores on human skin, efficiently absorbing cosmic dust internally and using it as propulsion agent for the engine.

Additionally, the wings integrate numerous bionic and electronic components, rearranged with high integration.

It also has a long tail, which contains a series of nine strong magnetic field turbine acceleration structures. These turbine structures continuously accelerate charged particles to 0.21 times the speed of light and shoot them out for retro-thrust, rapidly boosting the Shuttle’s flight speed to 0.2 times the speed of light.
