Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

175: The universe is not a fairy tale, but a dark forest!When Lu Chen’s ultimate declaration, filled with fear and despair, ”We’re in trouble,” clearly echoed in the expedition’s observation hall, the entire hall fell silent.

All the top officials of the Xia Kingdom, who had just been wildly envisioning a bright future and collectively reaching a climax, felt as if an invisible hand had clamped down on their throats!

Their faces were all ashen!

Their bodies were cold!

Their minds were blank!

Trouble?!

What did this kid mean?!

A terrifyingly ominous premonition instantly overwhelmed all their reason!

Comrade Lu Chen!

An unprecedented solemnity!

He looked at the pale-faced young man in front of him, who was trembling slightly, and his voice began to quaver!

W-What exactly happened?!

Lu Chen did not answer.

He simply raised his hand slowly and gently tapped the air.

The next second!

The blood-red warning in his mind, filled with death and destruction,

alarm!

Was clearly displayed before all the bigwigs present!

[Warning! Warning!]

[This civilization has been discovered by an unknown higher civilization!]

Boom!!!

This short line of text was like a black lightning bolt capable of splitting the entire Solar System!

It fiercely struck the heads of all the bigwigs present!

They were completely petrified!

Their mouths were so wide open they could swallow an aircraft carrier battle group!

Their faces were filled with an unprecedented, ghost-like horror and groundbreaking shock!

Higher civilization?!

They were actually discovered by aliens?!

What the hell kind of hellish start was this?!

“No… impossible…”

Academician Qin Shan, this old man who had dedicated his life to the aerospace industry!

At this moment, he was like a dead dog, drained of all strength!

He slumped into his chair!

His face was ashen!

His eyes were filled with endless despair!

He had always believed the universe was a peaceful paradise full of treasures and hope!

He never dreamed!

That such a terrifying unknown threat was hidden within this seemingly peaceful paradise!

“It’s over…”

“It’s all f***ing over…”

Ye Qingcang, this general known for his ”iron blood”!

At this moment, he was like a defeated rooster!

Dejected!

His cloudy old eyes were filled with endless fear!

He knew!

Before a higher civilization capable of faster-than-light galaxy scanning!

They, these ”monkeys” who had just learned to walk upright!

Didn’t even have the right to resist!

Only one outcome awaited them!

That was—destruction!

For a time!

The entire observation hall was filled with deep worry and despair for the future!

They were like a group of pathetic mortals who had personally seen Death descend!

Mortals!

Trembling before an absolute power capable of crushing everything!

Trembling!

However,

Just as everyone was plunged into a doomsday-like despair.

A cold, emotionless voice, as if from the netherworld, a voice of death,

Voice.

Suddenly, without warning, it rang out through Lu Chen’s previously silent system!

[Ding—]

[Unknown higher civilization signal source detected.]

[Analyzing data.]

[Analysis complete!]

[The signal originates from the ’Trisolaran’ system, four light-years from this star system.]

[Signal content is:]

[”Do not answer! Do not answer!! Do not answer!!!”]

Seeing this mysterious message filled with ”warnings” and ”goodwill”.

Lu Chen’s cold heart, which had already been completely swallowed by fear!

At this moment, it actually began to beat wildly, against his will!

He knew!

Things seemed to have a turn for the better!

This so-called ’Trisolaran’ civilization didn’t seem to be the terrifying entity that discovered them!

But a pathetic worm also threatened by that terrifying entity?!

“heavenly craft!”

He suddenly raised his head, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his dark eyes, as vast as the universe!

“Immediately! Right now! Check for me!”

“What the hell is this ‘Trisolaran’ system?!”

[Yes, Master.]

heavenly craft’s super brain, composed of infinite data, began to operate rapidly!

However,

Before she could even begin searching.

A cold voice that froze the souls of Lu Chen and all the bigwigs present,

Rang out again!

[Alert! Alert!]

[Another ultra-high-dimensional information signal, of unknown origin and filled with destructive and cleansing aura, has been detected!]

[Performing death lock on this star system!]

[Lock complete!]

[Warning! Warning!]

[the cleaners has departed!]

[Estimated arrival time:]

[Four hundred years!]

Boom!!!

This was no longer an alarm!

This was the ultimate death sentence from the darkest, coldest corner of the deep universe.

Death

Judgment!

“Four… four hundred years?!”

Death’s bloody and destructive

Countdown!

His wise eyes were filled with endless bitterness and

Helplessness!

Four hundred years.

For a civilization, it was but a blink of an eye.

But for them, these mortals with short lives,

It was so distant.

So distant that it brought despair!

“No!”

“We haven’t lost yet!”

Just as everyone was plunged into a doomsday-like despair.

A roar filled with defiance and madness suddenly rang out!

It was Lu Chen!

His dark eyes, as vast as the universe, burned with a crazy fighting spirit that could make all gods and demons tremble!

Fighting will!

“Isn’t it just four hundred years?!”

“Isn’t it just some damn ‘cleanser’ that popped out of nowhere?!”

“Who gives a damn?!”

“Four hundred years!”

“That’s enough time for us to advance our technology to a point where we can crush them!”

“I, Lu Chen, hereby swear!”

“Four hundred years from now!”

“I will make that so-called ‘cleanser’ know!”

“That our human civilization is not some insignificant ant that they can toy with!”

“Ant!”

“We…”

“Are the most terrifying hunters in this dark forest!”

“Hunter!”
