Shu Rui watched the communication cut off, then looked at the busy scholars in the laboratory.
Many.
Hundreds of people.
Most of these scholars were Four-Star, and some were even Ranked scholars.
They were all invaluable assets to the Federation.
To put it bluntly, these people were worth more than their lives.
She walked up to a young man, who was a head shorter than her, but she dared not underestimate him in the slightest.
"Dr. Yan, the enemy warships are coming fiercely. The Jinlan Star System cannot be held. We need to evacuate quickly."
"If you all die here, it will be a huge loss for the entire Human Civilization."
She still wanted to persuade him.
Dr. Yan didn't even turn his head to look at her.
"Little Shu, scholars are valuable because the things they research are valuable."
"We have dedicated most of our lives to these studies. Asking us to leave is like killing us."
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I won't leave."
"So what if the enemy warships come? Unless this place is destroyed, we will continue our research."
Shu Rui then looked at the other scholars around her for help.
However, not a single scholar paid her any attention.
She gritted her teeth, these old stubborn fools, let them die here!
She gathered the people in the laboratory and said to them, "We have orders from above, it's time to evacuate!"
A group of people left the laboratory.
A scholar spoke, "Finally leaving, these guys."
"It should have been like this long ago, staying here has been affecting our progress."
Another old scholar glared at him.
"Has the error in node 2911 been fixed?"
"If you haven't finished, why aren't you doing it!?"
"Others are here to protect us. Even if they really bother us, it's out of good intentions. Stop gossiping!"
After speaking, the old scholar walked towards Dr. Yan.
His face was full of worry.
"Team Leader Yan, the debugging of the kaisen system probably cannot be completed in a short time."
"Judging by Little Shu's demeanor, the military should be retreating."
"After the enemy arrives, they will definitely destroy this place. Do you have any solutions?"
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want so many years of effort to be ruined in an instant."
He had been here for almost four hundred years, and other predecessors had followed suit.
The kaisen system originated from the scholar Kaisen's concept. Once this concept succeeded, it would be revolutionary.
Dr. Yan imported the data into the Machine God Host, saw the results quickly calculated, read them carefully, and then handed the information to the other party.
"Peiden, these things shouldn't be thought about by us scholars. What you should do is strive to complete the kaisen system."
"The Federation has not made any progress in energy for almost thirty thousand years. Even thirty thousand years ago, the progress every ten thousand years was very small, less than 50%."
"Once the kaisen system is perfected and applied to warships, abundant energy will allow our warships to reach sub-light speed, and not just warships, the kaisen system can be applied in many places, including Hosts and Machine Gods."
"Consider this a revolution."
He patted the other's shoulder.
He did not answer the question directly.
But Peiden already knew the answer.
Dr. Yan didn't want to think about these things; his focus was unparalleled.
Upon receiving the calculation results, Peiden immediately called for a meeting to make some fine-tuning to the system.
kaisen system.
An unremarkable name.
But in fact, this thing contained incredibly powerful technology.
It encompassed the mysteries of dimensional geometry.
In the kaisen system's concept, what exactly is a dimension? Can a Three-Dimensional space truly not contain Four-Dimensional aspects?
Even if it cannot exist, does it mean that all of Four-Dimensional cannot come, or only a limited part of Four-Dimensional?
The former meant that Four-Dimensional could not come at all, while the latter meant that a part of Four-Dimensional physical laws could be applied in Three-Dimensional space.
Based on this conjecture, Kaisen, with the help of a large amount of the Federation's dimensional research data, began to design the kaisen system.
However.
The lifespan of Federation scholars was, after all, limited.
Kaisen's achievements in telekinesis, as well as his initial academic achievements, were relatively low, with a lifespan of only 500 years.
He only completed some initial theoretical frameworks before passing away sadly.
But afterward, his students took over the research, gradually building a true kaisen system model from Kaisen's theories.
Subsequently, the Jinlan Star System specifically built a laboratory for kaisen system research and opened up many permissions.
Thousands of years passed.
The research of the kaisen system, from theory to model establishment, complete implementation, prototype manufacturing, and full technological maturity, is now nearing completion.
Generations of people have worked hard.
It cannot be terminated!
Perhaps in a longer history, this technology might still be researched and completed in the future.
But that would have nothing to do with them.
… …
"Research, for scholars, is life."
"And results, for scholars, are the meaning of this life."
"For everyone in the laboratory, their world is the laboratory."
"It seems they can leave, but in reality, they can no longer leave."
After leaving the laboratory, Shu Rui rushed to Fenjiemusi's office to report.
Fenjiemusi could see a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
Clearly, Shu Rui wanted to stay there.
Fenjiemusi said, "There's no point in you staying there. You can't block the lasers from warships in front of them."
Shu Rui's body trembled.
She had to admit, it was the truth.
What she insisted on was like a joke in front of the warship.
"Then, are we really just evacuating like this?"
"Perhaps other Stellar Systems can react."
Fenjiemusi shook his head.
"The nearest fleet from the Ice Dust Storm Stellar System is still over two light-years away, and the enemy fleet won't even need half a year to destroy us."
Shu Rui was momentarily lost, unsure of what to do.
Fenjiemusi called out, "Ship Secretary Shu Rui, listen to my command!"
Shu Rui immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Shu Rui present, please give your orders, Ship Secretary."
Fenjiemusi ordered Shu Rui to lead people to integrate all the energy in the Jinlan Star System.
Shu Rui was surprised to hear this command. At this stage, wasn't it better to leave as quickly as possible?
After all, enemy warships were much faster than them.
Fenjiemusi, however, smiled.
"Who said we were leaving?"
Shu Rui was horrified.
Fenjiemusi continued, "The Stellar System is already empty. The enemy's target is actually us."
"As long as we leave and lead away the enemy fleet, we can buy them some time."
From the very beginning, Fenjiemusi had no intention of leaving.
The lives of these senior scholars were more precious than theirs, and the things these scholars researched were even more precious than their fleet.
Although he didn't quite understand.
But he knew that as long as these scholars could complete their research, even if they died, it would be worth it!
Shu Rui showed no fear, her spirit instantly lifted, and she responded with a roar.
"Mission accomplished!"
Fenjiemusi looked at the young girl in front of him with satisfaction.
Shu Rui was only in her forties, and for this era, she still had over four hundred years of youth.
To be unafraid of death was a remarkable quality.
Fenjiemusi was very proud.
This was his soldier.
This was humanity!
… …
There wasn't much time left for the Jinlan Star System.
A mere nine months.
The enemy warship's main force had reached an extremely dangerous position.
Only less than 3000 astronomical units from the interior of the Jinlan Star System.
Fenjiemusi knew that it was time to leave.
He issued the command for the entire fleet to depart the Starport.
With the help of the Starport's catapults, the warships quickly accelerated.
Their direction of flight was towards the enemy warship's main force.
… …
Star City.
A scholar reported to Dr. Yan about the fleet's departure from the Starport.
"But it's a bit strange, their direction of travel doesn't seem to be a retreat."
Dr. Yan gently shook his head.
"Don't let this news get out."
"Just focus on your research."
"We are scholars!"
The last sentence was Dr. Yan's catchphrase.
The scholar nodded and left; he had other things to do.
Dr. Yan, in his own laboratory, used his permissions to watch the departing shadows of the fleet.
Over sixty thousand warships, along with one hundred and thirty thousand armed spaceships, just flew towards the enemy's direction.
Dr. Yan believed that having lived for over two hundred thousand years, his heart was already like water in an ancient well, undisturbed.
He didn't expect to feel a touch of emotion at this moment.
"Heh, a bunch of silly boys."
He shook his head.
This was why he refused to take Ella and a portion of humanity out of this star region.
The people do not fail me, and I do not fail the people.
Yan Xia, took on countless forms.
Each engaged in different things, some already had goals, or the initial purpose of taking on countless forms was those goals.
Others had no purpose, searching for their place in society.
Dr. Yan was the latter.
He had originally wanted to study biology, but the threshold for biology was low, and achieving success was not easy.
Later, he met Kaisen, and asked Kaisen to teach him physics.
Kaisen accepted him as a disciple and, before his death, gave him the kaisen system data, asking him to continue the research.
"Soon!"
"It's almost complete!"
According to the latest experimental data, the operational stability of the kaisen system had reached 90%. A year ago, it was only 40% stable.
The further along, the more difficult it became.
But for them, who had been preparing for thousands of years, this last step was actually the simplest part of the completion.
Dr. Yan reorganized the data again, especially the part about dimensions.
"If these were handed over to Ella, I estimate we would quickly get even more perfect results and countless directions for utilization."
"I also don't know if there's enough time."
Dr. Yan didn't pay much attention to the war; he knew that focusing on it now was useless.
Therefore, he was not clear about the overall war situation.
However, the fact that the enemy could advance to what was originally the Federation's interior was enough to show that the enemy was truly terrifying.
After the Machine God's new calculation ended.
Dr. Yan took a look; there were only seventy or eighty parameters left to modify.
He left his office and shouted to everyone in the laboratory, "The 381st debugging begins! Don't you dare be lazy. Although these data are calculated by the Machine God, they also require your experienced participation. Equipment isn't just about absolute precision."
Any piece of equipment will always have errors.
This meant that the Machine God's calculation results could not be fully applied.
Hundreds of people walked towards the equipment.
The so-called equipment was actually a cube, but its internal structure was incredibly precise.
scholars personally debugged the kaisen system in front of the cube, using various instruments. Several hours passed, and all debugging was completed.
Only then did Dr. Yan shout again, "Charging, begin!"
A large amount of special creation particle energy surged into the kaisen system. On the monitors, Dr. Yan and all other scholars observed the stability of the energy inside the kaisen system.
As a dimensional device, unstable internal energy actually meant unstable dimensions.
Unstable dimensions meant that this thing was not successful enough; it could not be applied.
This was not a precision debugging of a finished product, but a technical debugging. Once the technology was determined, it could not be changed.
This was the interstellar era; the lifespan of anything had extremely demanding requirements. An energy system like this had to guarantee 50,000 years of no decay and 100,000 years of no aging.
As a large amount of energy surged in.
The kaisen system stored this energy internally.
10 minutes, no abnormalities.
20 minutes, no abnormalities.
30 minutes, still none!
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A voice appeared: "Node 02811 is unstable."
A commotion ensued.
"How could this be? It was stable last time."
"Damn it, why is it this place?"
Dr. Yan, however, looked calm.
"Continue charging, and rule out problems with other dimensional nodes."
