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

197: Farewell to Earth, our journey begins in the endless universe!When Su Qingying’s ultimate question, filled with girlish curiosity and anticipation, ”Where is our first destination?” clearly echoed in the romantic and cozy Captain’s Cabin of the expedition, Lu Chen smiled.

He looked at the exquisite and beautiful woman in his arms, who had completely transformed from an aloof, ice goddess into a charming young woman full of emotions.

His beloved wife.

His dark eyes, as vast as the universe, were filled with an unparalleled indulgence and

deep affection.

”Destination?”

He gently flicked her delicate little nose, a mysterious and subversive smile playing on his lips!

”When did I say we had a ’destination’?

”Huh?!” Su Qingying was stunned.

”This time, we’re going out.”

A longing for ”freedom,” which even he hadn’t noticed, flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes!

”It’s not to find some damned ’distant relatives’.

”Nor is it to conquer some accursed starry sea.

”I just purely want to...”

He embraced Su Qingying tightly, his chin resting gently on her soft hair.

Breathing in the faint, reassuring

fragrance.

His voice was very soft, like a gentle

evening breeze from the depths of the universe.

”I want to take you to see it together.”

”To see how vast our universe truly is.”

”To see the scenery hidden deep within the dark forest.”

”How beautiful it truly is.”

””

After hearing Lu Chen’s ultimate confession, filled with ”romance” and ”sweet talk”.

Su Qingying’s heart, already overflowing with love, completely

melted at this moment.

She could no longer control her emotions!

She suddenly looked up and fiercely pressed her warm, burning lips against the lips of the man she deeply loved!

Three days later.

An unprecedented interstellar

expedition

launch

ceremony!

Was officially held at the Moon’s ”Heavenly Court” Interstellar Spaceport!

This time, it wasn’t just the highest-ranking officials of the Earth Federation who came to see them off!

But also eight billion ordinary

Earthlings, watching live via global broadcast!

There was no fear of the unknown on their faces!

Only a fervent

pride, filled with hope and dreams!

Because they knew.

From today onwards!

Their human civilization would no longer be that pathetic

ant, trembling in fear, confined to the small ”Novice Village” of the Solar System!

But a true

super

player, capable of baring its sharp fangs at the dark universe, full of unknowns and dangers!

”I declare!”

On the chairman’s stand, Lu Chen was still wearing the Earth Federation Supreme Commander’s uniform, full of iron-blooded majesty.

uniform!

Behind him stood that ice

goddess, also dressed in a silver-white captain’s uniform.

Su Qingying.

And the hundred completely transformed superhuman

legion!

He looked at the faces below, each with a different skin tone, filled with expectation and longing.

faces.

In his dark eyes, as vast as the universe, burned a mad

ambition, enough to make all gods and demons tremble!

His voice was not loud, but it was like a divine oracle, splitting the heavens and earth!

Clearly echoing in the ears of every Earthling!

”Human civilization’s first interstellar voyage!”

”Starts now!”

”Our goal—”

He pointed his finger towards the endless, profound, vast

starry sky!

”Is beyond the Solar System!”

”It is that, full of unknowns and hope,”

”starry sea!”

”expedition!”

”Depart!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

”Buzz—!!!”

A muffled yet solemn roar, filled with a sense of future technology, resounded throughout the silent space!

The expedition, which had long been modified into a war fortress exuding an aura of death!

Instantly lit up with a brilliant, multicolored

halo!

An invisible, powerful, terrifying

force field, capable of distorting space-time!

Instantly enveloped the entire spaceship!

Immediately after!

”Whoosh—!!!”

A piercing, space-tearing, terrifying

shriek!

That silver-white, teardrop-shaped phantom!

Instantly transformed into a multicolored

streamer, almost invisible to the naked eye!

With a terrifying

speed, surpassing the speed of light, that no human could comprehend!

It took one last deep look at the beautiful blue

mother planet behind it, full of vitality and hope.

Then, without hesitation, it vanished into the endless, profound, dark

universe,

full of unknowns and challenges!

Meanwhile, at this moment.

At the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base on Earth.

Long Weiguo and Ye Qingcang, these two old men who had fought for Xia Guo their entire lives!

Were looking with emotion at the brilliant

streamer on the screen before them, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Their cloudy old eyes were filled with endless relief and

trust!

They knew.

From today onwards.

That naive

young man, who once needed their silent protection from behind!

Had completely grown into a towering

man, capable of facing the endless storms and challenges alone!

A navigator, capable of shouldering the future of all human civilization!

navigator!

”Old Ye,”

Long Weiguo let out a long, turbid breath, his voice hoarse as he said:

”Are we...”

”Truly old?”

”Yes.”

Ye Qingcang smiled.

It was a smile filled with relief and pride.

”Old.”

”However,”

He turned around and looked at Long Weiguo’s equally relieved old face, slowly saying:

”I’m quite looking forward to it.”

”When that kid comes back next time.”

”What kind of ’surprise’ will he bring us?”

”surprise’?”
