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

198: First warp drive, target Proxima Centauri!When the massive silhouette of the interstellar exploration ship ”expedition,” filled with a sense of science fiction and the aura of the future, transformed like a god into a seven-colored stream of light and vanished into that endless dark universe...

An unprecedented, magnificent expedition spanning light-years!

Officially began!

On the bridge of the ”expedition.”

Lu Chen was looking calmly out the window at the rapidly retreating, distorted, and bizarrely colored Warp space!

There was not a trace of tension or excitement on his face regarding the first faster-than-light voyage.

Only a sense of calm, as if everything were under his control.

Standing beside him was that same calm, ice-cold goddess, Su Qingying.

And those one hundred Super Soldiers, who had long since been reborn, but at this moment still looked like a group of country bumpkins visiting the city for the first time, their faces filled with curiosity and shock!

They stood there as if frozen in place!

Staring blankly, pressed against the massive panoramic porthole made of ”Dragon Scale” composite material!

Watching the miracle outside the window that was enough to drive any physicist crazy and subvert their worldview!

”Oh, oh my god!”

”Is, is this the faster-than-light world?!”

”This is too fucking dreamy, right?!”

A young Super Soldier looked at the distant stars outside the window, which had been stretched and twisted into colorful streaks of light!

His voice was trembling!

He felt like a poor mortal who had accidentally stumbled into Van Gogh’s world of crazy and abstract oil paintings!

His mind was blank!

As for Su Qingying, she was like the most devout seeker of truth.

She watched the Higher Dimensions space outside the window, filled with the unknown and mystery, with an obsessed expression!

In her beautiful, bright eyes flickered a brilliant radiance called ”Truth”!

She knew!

From this moment on!

That narrow three-dimensional worldview that had bound the entire human civilization for millions of years!

Would be completely overturned!

And the one who opened this great era was exactly this mysterious man beside her, who looked so calm, as if he had long been accustomed to it!

She slowly turned her head to look at Lu Chen’s perfect, chiseled profile.

Her cold, beautiful eyes were filled with incomparable worship and admiration!

She suddenly felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

No exceptions.

Because she could witness the rise of a god with her own eyes.

And accompany him to conquer that vast, endless sea of stars!

”Master.”

At this moment, the ethereal virtual figure of heavenly craft slowly appeared beside Lu Chen.

【Reporting, navigation data.】

【Warp Engine operation, stable.】

【Energy output, normal.】

【Current navigation speed: ten times the speed of light.】

【Expected to arrive in six months at the first destination of this voyage——】

【Proxima Centauri system.】

”Very good.”

Lu Chen nodded calmly.

It seemed that ”ten times the speed of light,” which would drive any mortal crazy, was just an ordinary number to him.

He turned around and looked at the group of ”country bumpkins” who were still shouting about the bizarre Warp space, and smiled faintly.

”Everyone.”

”For the next six months, we will all spend our time in this boring and tedious ’time tunnel’.”

”So,”

”I suggest that everyone can go to the only entertainment venue on our ’expedition’.”

”Properly, ’relax’ a bit.”

”Hmm?”

All the Super Soldiers were stunned!

”Entertainment venue?”

”We have an entertainment venue on this warship?!”

”Of course.”

A meaningful arc curled up at the corner of Lu Chen’s mouth.

”After all,”

”Work-life balance is the only way to improve combat effectiveness.”

Half an hour later.

When those one hundred Super Soldiers, filled with curiosity and anticipation, followed Lu Chen to the so-called ”entertainment venue,” everyone’s faces turned green!

It was a huge, bloody arena filled with the aura of iron, blood, and slaughter, resembling an ancient Roman coliseum!

And in the center of the arena, on a high throne!

A mysterious man wearing a black tight-fitting combat suit and a silver-white demon mask on his face!

Was slowly standing up from the throne!

It was the terrifying devil instructor who had once tortured them to death in the virtual world!

”Wel-welcome.”

The mysterious masked man laughed.

The laughter was hoarse and filled with endless cruelty.

”My, dear”

”Little brats.”

Boom!!!

This sentence was like a death knell from the depths of hell!

It struck hard at the hearts of all the Super Soldiers present!

They completely collapsed!

They finally understood!

The true meaning of Lu Chen’s ”properly, ’relax’ a bit”!

This fucking, where is this ”relaxing”?!

This is clearly a six-month-long hellish devil training!

”No——!!!”

Screams of despair, not sounding human, echoed throughout the entire bridge!

Lu Chen, acting like nothing had happened, took Su Qingying’s soft, boneless hand.

He calmly left this bloody place where a ”human tragedy” was about to unfold.

”You seem to really like watching them get tortured?”

Su Qingying looked at Lu Chen’s smile, which was full of ”bad taste,” and a trace of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes.

”No.”

Lu Chen shook his head, a flash of cold rationality in his pitch-black eyes, as vast as the universe!

”I am just using the fastest and most effective way.”

”To tell them a most cruel truth.”

”What truth?”

”That is”

A cold and cruel arc curled up at the corner of Lu Chen’s mouth!

”The universe”

”Never believes in”

”Tears.”
