Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1516: Chapter 569: Returning in Glory, Unstoppable Might (Part 3)

But then again, this wasn’t something he could just ignore.

Because the old core team who had followed him from the very beginning, the members of the first founding group, were aging one after another and gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.

He had to make the new generation grow up fast, and he also had to get more people like Jin Simin.

Ren Zhong put down the tablet, tilted his head back to stare at the ceiling, and racked his brains for a solution, considering whether he should resort to hard power to force High Rank talent to change their way of thinking.

After a long time, he shook his head and stopped dwelling on this. Everything would have to wait until he returned to Red Blade Star and met with Ju Qingmeng and Ma Xiaoling.

After that, Ren Zhong once again opened the development report from the Shattered Star Ring.

Everything was actually going smoothly.

Although there was no star within the Shattered Star Ring, which made energy costs sky-high, its material resources were still fairly abundant. It was just that in the past, there had never been a sufficiently powerful unified force in the Shattered Star Ring to coordinate development. Not only did the various pirate factions lack cooperation, they would often raid each other’s production bases, ruthlessly dragging one another back, pushing the cost of resource extraction to an utterly unreasonable level.

Now, however, the situation was completely different.

The Red Blade Expeditionary Army stood alone as the dominant power in the Shattered Star Ring, holding absolute discourse power.

Under the Expeditionary Army’s "whole-nation system," the residents of the Shattered Star Ring first completely eradicated the disaster of gravity, and then, led by Red Blade Commerce and Transport, formed several large mining conglomerates, preparing to rapidly and mass-scale mine resources from the shattered asteroids, and then use the Red Blade Clan’s channels to send those resources into the interior of the Nanxiang Star Cluster, feeding them efficiently into the trade system.

This was, without a doubt, a long-term project, but the blueprint was already in place. Next, they only needed to quickly erect the framework of the mining conglomerates and keep realizing it step by step.

Not only that, on Source Star’s side, the Source Star Science Academy had also, based on the special conditions within the Shattered Star Ring, carried out a remote joint effort with the Red Blade Science Academy and specifically developed multiple technologies for recycling and reusing scrap metal.

In the Far Border Star Domain they had similar technologies in the past, but scrap metal could only be reused just over thirty times.

Once these metals were recycled and reused beyond their limit, the core force characteristics at the quark level would be completely altered, turning them into utterly unusable waste.

Yet within the three months that Ren Zhong had been travelling through the Star Gate, the Source Star Science Academy had fully digested the "God’s Particle" and "Yang Misi’s Theory," and had found a technical method to use energy with special frequencies and special properties to oscillate and impact, thereby restoring the core force at the quark level.

As long as this could be fully implemented, the Red Blade Clan’s unique scrap metal recycling tech could iterate at least one more fold beyond the existing technologies mastered in the Far Border Star Domain, and surpass the cutting-edge tech of the Royal Academy of Sciences by at least ten cycles.

The Royal Academy of Sciences’ research approach started from the angle of regeneration processing techniques and never went down the path of restoring quark core force at all.

The Red Blade Clan had blazed a new trail and come up with yet another unique piece of technology.

Ren Zhong thought for a moment and decided not to register a patent for this technology, but instead send it back to Source Star for further deep development, to verify how many additional cycles it could actually add.

If the theory succeeded completely and the Red Blade Clan mastered a truly limitless recycling technology, achieving an endless loop that never stopped, then his fleet would gain an almost inexhaustible consumption capacity on the battlefield.

As long as my people aren’t all dead and the energy keeps coming, no matter how heavy the losses my fleet suffers, I can keep recycling and regenerating on the battlefield.

In that case, when the Red Blade Fleet fought positional warfare anchored on a star, its combat power would reach an unprecedented height.

This was a decisive technology, so it had to be kept hidden for now.

After sweeping through this basic information, Ren Zhong quickly skimmed the new reports submitted by the Earl Mansion and the Red Blade Military and Political Department. Then he checked the intelligence on Sublimator army deployments that Marvell Louis had shared remotely from the Marquis Zhenjiang Mansion, and once again closed his eyes.

He began another round of future-sight deduction.

His precognitive ability seemed to have no range limit.

The boundary of his future-sight was defined only by the boundary of the information he obtained.

The more information he acquired, the wider the scope involved and the deeper the depth, the broader his future-sight range became and the higher the precision.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed.

He had indeed seen the future.

But that future could hardly be called optimistic, and it couldn’t be shifted in the slightest by his will.

He saw that forty-three years from now, the Sublimators would launch a large-scale war from three border Star Domains simultaneously: the Far Border Star Domain, the Long River Star Domain, and the Jade Plate Star Domain.

The flames of war would stretch for thousands of light years.

The Sublimators’ armies would sweep over like a torrent that engulfed the universe.

The number of enemies would be so vast as to be beyond counting.

Their application of information-flow interference technology would grow more and more mature.

Their rapid Bursting Soldiers capability would become even more terrifying.

There would even be War Weapons like a First-Class Mother Empress, carrying a total energy reserve comparable to a small star, pressing down over everything.

Moreover, on both flanks of the Sublimators’ grand army, Ren Zhong seemed to see two other shadows.

He couldn’t make out what those two shadows looked like, nor did he know what was hidden within them.

But logic told him that they were very likely the armies of the Pilgrims and the Spirit Demon Race.

The three human evolutionary branch forces, who had already held the overwhelming advantage, seemed to be gradually showing signs of joining forces to quickly purge the Mechanical Empire humans.

Weak joining to defeat the strong is nothing but a fool’s delusion; the strong joining forces to carve up the weak is the eternal main theme of human civilization.

"The future is so damn hard..."
