Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1321 - 500: Plans and Changes (Part 4)

Through the online conference room, Ren Zhong watched the changes in everyone at the meeting.

Once all the projected avatars disappeared, he began personally reviewing the planning reports submitted by each department.

Four hours later, after reading all the reports, he stretched lazily, a rare gesture for him.

He hadn’t been this relaxed for a long time.

In over sixty years of deep space travel, the Source Star Fleet, as a nomadic civilization, has never stopped progressing, and neither have the people in the fleet stopped learning and growing.

By now, more and more talented individuals capable of significant contributions have emerged in various departments.

He no longer needed to pay attention to every little detail like he used to.

He also no longer needed to risk his life resetting time to break through certain technologies and steal technical achievements from the chaos of time and space.

Of course, now he couldn’t do it even if he wanted to.

The abundant professional researchers in the Fleet Science Academy have utilized the preliminary exploration reports from Source Star Commerce to swiftly compile a comprehensive and precise landing plan, with every step interconnected, leaving no stone unturned.

Perhaps Nanxiang Marquis and Viscount Nan Jiu believe the fleet would need at least a hundred years to take root on South Nine C, but these people have lived too long in the comfortable domain of the Empire, forming stereotyped thinking and making serious misjudgments.

According to the timetable in Ren Zhong’s hands, as long as they proceed step-by-step to address the harsh environment on South Nine C, the fleet would only need eighteen years of effort to settle down and then complete a full civilization landing operation in 20 years.

Ren Zhong’s people are entirely different from those in the Nanxiang Star Cluster who have been enslaved by the imperial nobility for generations, had their genes altered, injected with inherently twisted personalities, and whose lives are devoid of hope.

In a certain sense, even in the entire Mechanical Empire, there are no better people than Ren Zhong’s citizens.

Now, these people, together with the distant Source Star and predictive abilities, constitute Ren Zhong’s three trump cards.

Just as Ren Zhong was full of ambition for the future, in the command ship of Source Star Commerce that arrived early at South Nine C, Chen Yinghua, the general manager of Source Star Commerce, looked pale with shock at the information revealed by the high-definition photos taken by the exploration ship at great risk diving into the atmosphere.

Chen Yinghua originally intended to use this routine planetary exploration action to deliver a gesture of allegiance to his new master and complete some basic tasks for the colleagues he was about to meet, but he didn’t expect the astronomical and geological comprehensive study from the exploration ship’s final daring atmospheric entry to bring back such a terrible message.

On this planet that was about to become the new home of Source Star civilization, he discovered an unprecedented creature, proving that the ecological environment of South Nine C was entirely different from previously imagined.

Based on basic logical judgment, Chen Yinghua speculated that this ant-like creature had appeared on South Nine C for a very short time, even less than ten years.

Because, with their reproduction and terrifying consumption rate, these ants could completely pulverize the entire planet within a century.

In just ten years, they could completely alter the planet’s geological environment and even its external morphology.

Moreover, he couldn’t imagine any technical means that could completely eradicate these tiny monsters, capable of multiplying rapidly in harsh environments, without destroying the planet.

Chen Yinghua, trembling, labeled the exploration report as an emergency and then submitted it upward.

Two seconds later, Ren Zhong received two reports simultaneously.

One from Chen Yinghua, and another forwarded by Sun Ai, a planet transformation plan submitted by the Source Star Science Academy seven light years away, filled with genius-like imagination.
