Chapter 546: Feelings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the big spaceship manufacturing factory at the border of the Space City, six space yards were arranged in a row. A huge gantry was waving a large number of robotic arms as it resembled a strong yet sensitive giant that was quickly assembling the spaceship.

Blue flames were spitting out nonstop from one of the space yards. Soon, a huge spaceship gradually left the space yard and flew towards space. The first flight test began.

…

At a distance that was more than a hundred million kilometers, the cabin door of a remote cargo ship was opened. A construction robot with a height of more than 10 meters was pushing the weapon modules forward and left the spaceship, flying towards space.

A few days later, a weapon launching platform that measured more than 200 meters in diameter appeared in space.

Such a weapon launching platform appeared at almost every 100,000 kilometers. They were densely packed like a huge three-dimensional network. Beams of dazzling lights shot across the space occasionally and disappeared far away.

…

In just a blink of an eye, three years had almost passed.

The mining area of Planet No.4 had been expanded to hundred times larger as compared to three years ago. The area in a circumference of thousands of kilometers was occupied by hundred millions of mining machines. Looking down from the space, the entire planet had sunken, losing a lot of matters. The deathly stillness which originally hung over Planet No.4 had disappeared as the planet began to tremble.

The war was coming, creating a heavy and an oppressive atmosphere in the Space City.

…

At the war command center.

"Have you detected the exact position?"

Bi Jianping walked into the war command center and said in his husky voice. Over the past two years, he was stressing out and his body was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed like the lifespan extension technique had no effect on him. In just three years, it seemed like he was 10 years older. He now looked like an old man who was at about the age of 70.

"They did not slow down and has been traveling at the superluminal speed. The artificial intelligence system is unable to identify its exact location." The rear admiral who was a middle-aged man said as his face took on a ghastly expression.

Since the armed forces were just established, there was neither achievement nor qualification. The military ranks of the soldiers were not high and the rear admiral was the highest position among humans.

As the crowd entered the command hall, many of the staffs were seen hustling and bustling. Since were rushing to launch the space defense system, they were busy preparing for the preliminary test.

Bi Jianping looked at the big screen at the center, a light source that looked like a cursor was flickering and moving towards the Barnard's Star.

"How far is it away from us?"

"It's about 0.3 light years away!" The colonel kept quiet for a while and said.

Bi Jianping's heart sank. If the opponent maintained at such a speed, humans were just one month away from the war.

"We don't have much time left!" Bi Jianping sighed.

The atmosphere was indescribably repressed.

Flying at the superluminal speed was beyond comprehension. It was faster than the speed of light which indicated that before you could see it, it already appeared in front of you. The only way to estimate its approximate position was to obtain several values of the space wave and estimate the approximate position of the origin of the wave.

However, there would be serious errors in calculation. The stars in the galaxy and the rest of the space waves in the universe would interfere. A slight deviation in angles would lead to a difference in distance for more than 10,000 kilometers or even more than 10 millions of kilometers. In order to attack based on the location of the space wave, the probability of hitting the target would be hundred million times smaller than the probability of winning a lottery.

This was the only method where humans could detect their opponent. They could only pray that the Glassian would stop flying using a warp drive and have a tough fight against them. However, the hope was frail.

Humans warp drive engine was still under experimental conditions despite the fact that the theories and data were close to perfect. The first spaceship already went on a short-distance journey for several times. According to the gravitational force of the galaxy, unless it went very close to the galaxy, otherwise, it would basically not be interfered.

They would possibly arrive in front of the Space City. The entire space defense system would be rendered useless by then.

"The evacuation plan should start now!" Bi Jianping thought to himself.

…

"Madam, we shall go now." A security officer said respectfully at the manor, next to a luxurious flying shuttle.

"Let's go!" Huang Jiahui took a glance at the manor as she was reluctant to leave. She had no idea could she still come back after she left.

Few of them then sat on the flying shuttle and soon, it flew off into the sky and left.

Wang Shishi leaned against the window, staring at the scenery outside the window. Countless flying shuttles were flying across the sky like fishes. Humans were probably leaving the Space City and entered the miniaturized universe.

Over the past three years, a new Space City had been built over there.

In fact, one and a half year ago, humans had started the construction work in the miniaturized universe and started moving the matters. Now, humans were capable of achieving self-sufficiency. The availability of a large number of resources was sufficient for the development and human survival for 100 years.

"Please wait, I'm getting off the flying shuttle." Wang Shishi shouted.

The security officer looked troubled, "But there's only half an hour left until the next scheduled flight."

"Let her do so." Huang Jianghui was looking at the manor from afar and sighed. It was Luo Yuan's mansion, a spacious and secluded place.

Soon, the flying shuttle landed in front of Luo Yuan's mansion and stopped. The security officer then opened the door.

"I'm going to visit Brother Luo, do you guys want to follow me?" Wang Shishi turned back and asked them as she got off the flying shuttle.

"No, you may go and come back soon." Huang Jiahui shook her head and said, looking heavy hearted.

"I'm not going as well. He's not who he used to be." Zhao Yali's eyes turned red, trying to wipe away her tears.

Without saying a word, Wang Xiaguang turned her head away.

"I… I'm not going too." Chen Jiayi said. She was now afraid of Luo Yuan and he was no longer a family member to her. She did not feel like going at all.

Wang Shishi was upset and depressed, seeing none of them wanted to visit him.

"I'll leave then." She cried while turning back.

She ran to the manor, right to the living hall and slowed down. She had not been there for almost a year. However, nothing seemed to have changed. Everything still looked stone cold and there was no vitality. She wiped her tears before entering.

However, Luo Yuan noticed that at first glance, "Did you cry?"

"No, the wind blow sands into my eye."

"The air in the Space City was about 100 nanometers small. An ordinary person won't feel uncomfortable for that!" Luo Yuan said, "It's because you lied!"

Wang Shishi was stunned, looking at Luo Yuan. She had no idea how could he become like that. Perhaps love was easily forgettable.

"I'm sorry!" Thanks to the human memory, Luo Yuan could soon react to it. He maintained a neutral tone where one could not feel that he was apologizing sincerely, "I shouldn't have said that. Why did you look for me?"

Wang Shishi then recovered from her thoughts. She was upset. As what Sister Zhao said, Luo Yuan was no longer who they used to know. She held her tears back and said, "Brother Luo, we're leaving. We're going to the miniaturized universe."

"I saw it. You have 14 minutes and 35 seconds left until the next scheduled flight. You shouldn't have come to see me. You'll have to wait for the next flight now." Luo Yuan did not show his impatience and said without any facial expression.

"Brother Luo, do you still remember me?" Wang Shishi looked at him and asked in disappointment.

"Yes, I do. I could clearly remember every second with you ever since we met." Luo Yuan immediately answered. Still, he had no expression on his face and said in a neutral tone.

"Why did you become so cold to us? Don't you have any feelings for us? If I die here, will you still remain unaffected?" Wang Shishi could no longer hold her tears back. She had had enough all these years. She tried so hard to retrieve their relationship but he had been cold to her. She eventually burst into tears as she thought of the hard times she had been through.

Luo Yuan could clearly see that drops of tears rolled uncontrollably down her face. Luo Yuan was stunned and strangely, he did not answer immediately.

Feelings! It was the first time Luo Yuan thought of this. He then realized that he was unfamiliar with the word as if it was his first time listening to this word.
