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

291: In a single thought, the Genesis Engine was repaired.Although the order for “Full Army Jump” had been issued, the entire expedition military corps did not move immediately.

Everyone knew that there was one crucial task that had to be completed before setting out: completely subduing and repairing the genesis engine, which had been battered into a sieve.

At the Galactic Center, the sight was both tragic and magnificent.

Although the consciousness of “Zero” had been erased, that earth-shattering Logic War still left an indelible scar on the material world.

The black fortress surrounding the black hole had completely collapsed. Countless remnants, larger than mountains, floated in the gravitational turbulence, occasionally colliding and erupting into silent sparks. The white sphere (the engine body) at the core was now dim, its surface covered in shocking black cracks, like a glass bead about to shatter, liable to extinguish completely at any moment.

“Can... can this still be fixed?”

“War Wolf” looked at the chaotic ruins on the holographic screen and couldn’t help but swallow. “Commander Lu, this thing looks more broken than the radio we took apart as kids. Even with ‘Artisan’ robots, it would probably take centuries to fix, right?”

“Centuries?”

Lu Chen stood at the very front of the bridge. Although the divine radiance around him had become contained, his heterochromatic pupils still flowed with the power of rules that made people afraid to look directly at him.

He smiled faintly, a smile imbued with a composure and indifference only a deity could possess.

“If it were the previous me, even if I brought all of humanity to repair it for ten thousand years, we might not fix it. Because this is a creation of the Six-Dimensional Civilization; every part and every circuit involves laws we cannot comprehend.”

“But now...”

Lu Chen slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up, fingers slightly spread.

“In this dimension, repairing it only requires...”

“A single thought.”

Before his voice faded, an invisible, unimaginably grand fluctuation instantly erupted from Lu Chen’s body!

That was neither an energy wave nor a gravitational wave.

That was—**Information Stream**!

In Lu Chen’s High-Dimensional Vision, the fragmented ruins before him were no longer scrap metal and debris, but broken strings of code and incorrect parameters.

He didn’t need to move matter or weld metal. He only needed to delete the incorrect code, reconnect the broken links, and restore the chaotic logic... to its proper place, just like editing a document!

“heavenly craft, grant maximum authority.”

Lu Chen’s voice resonated in the consciousness space, like a great bell tolling.

[Yes, Master! Authority transferred. Logic Channels... fully open!]

“Very good.”

Lu Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted, and golden and silver light burst forth!

“Restore... for me!”

Boom—!!!

In the real world, a miracle occurred that made everyone suspect they were dreaming.

The massive ruins, spanning several light-years, suddenly looked like a film reel played in reverse!

Countless fragments floating in the void defied the law of inertia and the law of gravity, automatically adjusting their posture and rapidly converging toward the center at a dazzling speed!

Broken armor automatically healed, shattered pipes automatically connected, and extinguished reactors automatically reignited!

There was no roar of mechanical arms, no sparks from welding torches.

Only pure, silent, yet incredibly fast... reorganization!

“My God...”

Su Qingying covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide, tears welling up.

What did she see?

She saw the black cracks on the surface of the previously dim white sphere vanishing at a visible speed! Replacing them was a pure, sacred, milky-white halo filled with vitality and creativity!

It was like a dead heart injected with the blood of a god, resuming a powerful beat!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Every beat was accompanied by a visible energy ripple, sweeping across the entire Galactic Center region!

The previously chaotic gravitational turbulence was smoothed by this ripple; the violent radiation storms were purified by this ripple.

In less than ten minutes.

A brand new, magnificent super fortress, constructed entirely of pristine white photonic crystals, appeared out of thin air at the edge of the black hole’s event horizon!

It was no longer the ferocious black hive it once was, but a divine... **Heavenly Palace!**

It rotated slowly around the black hole, emitting endless energy fluctuations, seeming like the only lighthouse in this dark universe, illuminating the path to the future!

“F-fixed?! It’s fixed?!”

War Wolf rubbed his eyes, his jaw nearly hitting the floor. “It’s... fixed just like that?!”

“Not only is it fixed.”

Lu Chen lowered his hand, his expression still calm and indifferent, as if he had merely stacked a few building blocks.

“I gave it an upgrade while I was at it.”

“I removed the useless biological incubation functions and reinforced the energy output and dimensional interference modules.”

“Only now does it deserve the name ’genesis’.”

[Th-thank you... inheritor.]

Just then, that ancient and gentle voice resonated in everyone’s minds once again.

But this time, its voice was no longer weak or sorrowful, but filled with vibrant vigor and absolute submission!

[My core has been reforged, my logic has been purified.]

[From now on, I will no longer be the ’engine’.]

[I am the sword in your hand, the path beneath your feet, the... extension of your will!]

“Very good.”

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

“Since you have been reborn, you should no longer use your former name.”

He pondered briefly, his gaze directed toward the magnificent white Heavenly Palace.

“From now on, you shall be called...”

“【Taichu】.”

“Taichu means the origin of the Dao and the beginning of all things. I hope you can become the new starting point for our human civilization.”

[Taichu... I obey!]

With the establishment of the new name, the white fortress suddenly erupted with ten thousand rays of light, as if declaring its rebirth to the entire Milky Way Galaxy!

An immense, incalculable data stream instantly connected perfectly via the quantum network to the expedition’s main control system, to heavenly craft, and to Lu Chen’s brain!

In that instant, Lu Chen felt his vision expand once again.

He was no longer merely observing the star field.

He became the star field!

Every particle of the Sagittarius A* black hole was within his perception; the operation of hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy was within his calculations!

If he wished, he could even mobilize the energy of the entire Milky Way Galaxy to unleash a true... “Divine Punishment”!

“Is this... the power of the complete form?”

Lu Chen clenched his fist, feeling the sense of control that was nearly overflowing, and a proud, arrogant smile curved his lips.

“With this, forget about ‘the cleaners’.”

“Even if that so-called Six-Dimensional Civilization came here personally, I would dare to... clash with them!”

“Lu Chen...”

Su Qingying walked up to him, her eyes filled with adoration as she looked at the man who had completely transcended the mortal realm.

“We... really did it.”

“Yes, we did it.”

Lu Chen turned around and pulled Su Qingying into his embrace, his gaze sweeping over the comrades on the bridge whose eyes were red with excitement.

“We fixed the engine, and we gained the power.”

“But this is not the end.”

His gaze passed through the viewport, looking toward the distant, unknown, and dangerous star field four hundred light-years away.

“There’s a guest waiting for us there.”

“Since the house has been cleaned up and new furniture has been installed.”

“Then...”

Lu Chen released Su Qingying and strode onto the command platform, his black trench coat flapping behind him.

He fiercely waved his hand, his movement overwhelmingly imposing, like an emperor about to embark on an expedition!

“All forces, heed the order!”

“Target: the cleaners Fleet!”

“I want you to...”

“Jump over there!”

“I’m going to personally make their faces...”

“...swollen!”
