I Found A Planet

Chapter 415 Alien Spies?

Super light speed era.

Chen Jin's heart was racing a little. It seemed that there was hope of breaking through the barrier represented by the impossible attempt to exceed the speed of light.

After all, the pace of Galaxy Era was really too slow. Under normal circumstances, there was no hope that one could ever witness a player dominating the server, not even in a few hundred years. In order to speed things up and salvage the game, a fictional super light speed technology would have had to have been launched, even if a breakthrough had not been achieved in the field of "space technology" real life.

This would inevitably lead to a decline in the realism of the game and disrupt the original

pace.

Unexpectedly, a player with ingenious creativity in the field of science achieved a breakthrough in the theory. The super light speed curvature engine technology could also be realized in reality. The significance of this was extraordinary.

"It appears that the Crystal Brainers must not have achieved any breakthroughs in the technology of super light speed engines." If they had made such an accomplishment, Haierfa would have been occupied as their colony long ago, nor would it have been destroyed remotely.

"That is to say, in terms of speed, we are now ahead of the Crystal Brainers and have established a significant advantage.

"Even just a single curvature engine, when installed on a C-class warship, would immediately increase its combat power by two grades, reaching the level of a Class A warship.

"Flying objects at the speed of light cannot be monitored. If it were used to launch an airstrike or a surprise attack, given the extreme suddenness of such an assault, many civilizations would be hit hard or even destroyed immediately.

"No matter which competitive field one was involved in, there is nothing that cannot be overcome-no speed limits that cannot be broken through."

The same was true for war.

Once the super light speed curvature engine was introduced, the Crystal Brainers would no longer be powerful enough to serve as the authority for technological prowess.

"But Master, with our current experimental conditions, it would take about a decade to make a breakthrough with a real-life, large-scale, and functional curvature engine. It is impossible to enter the practical stage immediately."

"Can we speed up the process by increasing our investment of resources?"

"There would be no significant effect. Together with Alice, we have invested 100% of our resources and energy into this project."

"Ok."

After all, this was not some illogical fictional story where the main character could upgrade himself or his circumstances willy-nilly. He could only follow the prescribed order of events and wait.

On a different side of the universe.

The Walf galaxy, 14 light years away.

Development activities were in full swing every day on the vast surface of the water-rich planet.

A series of mines had been opened to provide all the raw materials needed.

Colonial bases were being built all along the river, scattered throughout the area of the wide perimeter of land that they had claimed for themselves. As they improved the efficiency of development, the human survivors' living space began to seem extraordinarily spacious and empty.

"A land area of more than 300 million square kilometers being occupied by only 100,000-plus surviving human beings. What a broad living space. Naturally, problems with regards to resources, land, environment, housing prices, and so on don't exist… It is a resource-rich paradise that has no natural enemies or competition.

"In this kind of paradise, even if we humans were to multiply in an exponential manner by doubling our population every 30 years, we would only reach the scale of 10 billion people in 300 years."

"If we directly detonate a population bomb, we can cultivate a population of 10 billion in 30 years… In about 50 years, the planet will become somewhat crowded and will enter a state of insufficient resources and over-competition.

"Friction will arise again, internal divisions will arise, and groups will break away. It is difficult to maintain the initial unity that we have… This will no longer a paradise."

But even so!

Even if it would be full of dissent and conflicts.

Mu Yunhua clenched her fist. She thought that it would still be better than being stuck in the "comfort zone" indefinitely.

All of this was because she felt that the atmosphere in those days seemed to be a little off, and was only getting worse.

Everyone was too comfortable, too immersed in the current short-lived peace, and was ignoring the lingering threat that was nearly impossible to get rid of.

"At present, resources are limited. There is no need to use a large number of population bombs. It is ok to increase the population by 10,000 people every year. If we produce 100,000 or even one million children every year, there won't be enough of us to raise them. There are not many people who are willing to be nannies.

"Several large-scale projects do need to be quickly launched for scientific research and development purposes. But we have a serious lack of scientists. They can only start to tackle a few non-frontier issues first; they even need to recreate a portion of our missing technologies.

"Military construction? We have not yet built a complete industrial system. How could we start military construction and build what you could call a large-scale interstellar warship?"

At the high ranking representatives meeting.

The three highest-priority action proposals put forth by Mu Yunhua were all rejected.

Less than one-third of the representatives supported her!

Even her loud appeals could not get the opposition representatives to take her seriously.

A representative named Wu Zhixian even sneered, "Captain, let go of your anxiety. It has no place here. We know what you are worried about and the danger we are currently facing, but with our current strength, we cannot contend with potential enemies. Compared with the other party, we have a technological gap of at least three hundred years.

"If we decide to resist, I am afraid that, when the fleet sent by those mysterious forces arrive, it will just be another moment where we have to flee. The buildings in front of us, accomplished through our hard work, would just become a gift for others. It would be useless.

"It is a better idea to slow down our pace and to fully enjoy the current period of peace. We can add some happiness and hope to our lives. If you continue to worry, you will go crazy from the despair. As for the crisis, it will not be too late to find a solution when it arrives."

Mu Yunhua's eyes widened.

What did he mean?

"Why am I hearing an undertone of weakness and compromise in your words? Representative Wu, are you planning to wait for the alien fleet to come over, to give up the struggle and resistance, and then to raise your hands and surrender?" Mu Yunhua asked, glaring at the other party. Sure enough, she saw a trace of panic in his cunning gaze.

"Captain, you are slandering my character. Please don't question my determination to resist to the end." Wu Zhixian stood with an angry expression.

"Then why have you taken the lead in vetoing several of my proposals? These plans guarantee our freedom and survival. Don't you see why they are important?"

"The most important thing now is to live a stable life, instead of continuing to remind people of their desperate plight when they were adrift on the spacecraft. Nobody wants to be homeless for the second time. Perhaps Walf is the permanent home for us." Wu Zhixian said with a wavering gaze. However, he remained confident, as if he had justice on his side.

Mu Yunhua looked at him with great shock.

His words alone gave her enough cause for doubt. Was he a spy of the mysterious alien force, assigned to carry out a particular task, or to incite desertion from her camp?

After all, the excuses and tone of someone who will surrender could be heard even by a normal person.

Surprisingly, even though Wu Zhixian said this, the majority of the representatives present remained silent instead of suggesting to isolate and interrogate him.

Even more than half of the representatives were vaguely standing by to Wu Zhixian. They seemed to have joined hands to veto any issues she raised about military preparations.

Her heart suddenly sank.

She turned to look at Bai Shengqi, who was next to her, and saw that he had very grave expression. He indicated with movements of his eyes that she should not act rashly.

"Meeting adjourned."

Mu Yunhua spat out these words helplessly.
