Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

Just as Lin Feng exited the room to finish his research, his consciousness slowly withdrew from the system simulation space, and the laboratory lights gradually came into focus. Thousands of years of simulations had left him somewhat mentally exhausted, but the final problem in the Heavenly Emperor Weapon was showing signs of a breakthrough, and he was in better spirits than ever before.

He stood up, stretched his stiff shoulders, and walked to the window to take a look at the sun, five hundred times its size. Outside, the starry sky was as quiet as ever, and golden sunlight shone on every planet in the solar system, warm and serene.

Suddenly, space was torn apart.

Above the solar system, space began to twist, deform, and tear without warning. A colossal rift opened in the void, its edges shimmering with a blood-red light, as intense as boiling blood, emanating a nauseating aura of destruction. The rift's width continued to expand, from ten thousand kilometers to one hundred thousand kilometers, from one hundred thousand kilometers to one million kilometers, eventually reaching a width of one hundred million kilometers, almost spanning half of the solar system's sky.

The entire starry sky trembled; the sun's light paled before the blood-red rift, and all of humanity's planets shuddered in the terrifying aura. The outer defense platforms of the solar system immediately sounded the alarm, and blood-red light flashed wildly on the holographic projection in the command center.

A huge red warship appeared in front of Lin Feng and his group.

From the crack, a colossal warship slowly emerged. Its size was comparable to that of a star, its entire body a dark red, covered in scale-like armor. Each scale seemed to breathe slowly, radiating a blood-red glow. The warship's shape resembled a slumbering ancient beast, rounded and massive, without any sharp edges, yet exuding an irresistible sense of oppression. Blood-red energy patterns flowed across the hull, like blood coursing through veins, extending from bow to stern and then flowing back to bow.

That warship was exactly the same as the giant red ship that nearly destroyed the solar system in a parallel universe several years ago.

Lin Feng happened to see this huge red warship, which looked like a giant star.

He stood by the window, his pupils suddenly contracting, his breath catching in his throat. That star-sized red warship, that crimson light, that nauseating aura of destruction—he knew it all too well. Years ago, it was this very warship that destroyed twelve Great Roc warships and two hundred Wukong armored vehicles of the human Seventh Fleet in a single blow. Years ago, it was this very warship that condensed a hundred sun-sized crimson spheres of light on the outer edge of the solar system, nearly reducing the entire solar system to nothingness. Years ago, it was this very warship that forced humanity to activate the spacetime portal and spatial jump, escaping to this parallel universe.

"This is?"

Looking at the red warship, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

His fist slowly clenched, his knuckles cracking. Years ago, humanity was utterly powerless against this red behemoth; two-thirds of its people perished in that battle, the solar system was nearly shattered by the impact of spacetime forces, and human civilization was forced to flee to this strange parallel universe. Years later, it has returned.

The First Commander, along with the humans who had faced a near-annihilation crisis, were utterly enraged, for this was the very civilization that had nearly destroyed them.

In the command center, everyone who had experienced that disaster stood up. Old Zhou's eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were grinding. Years ago, he watched helplessly as his comrades in the Seventh Fleet turned to ashes in the crimson beams of light, watched helplessly as the solar system's defense platforms shattered under the attack of the giant ships, and watched helplessly as human civilization fled into a parallel universe in despair. Years later, this demon has reappeared.

"It was it...it was it..." Old Zhou's voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible, each word filled with deep-seated hatred. "Years ago...it was it...that killed two-thirds of our compatriots..."

"The ants have finally found you! You've prevented us from returning to our original universe. We've spent far too much time searching for you."

A cold voice emanated from the red warship, exploding in the minds of all humanity through mental power. It carried an arrogant superiority, a playful, cat-and-mouse mentality, and a ruthless capacity to destroy everything.

"Now you're all going to die."

The moment the sound faded, the surface of the red warship glowed with a blood-red light. The energy patterns, resembling blood vessels, simultaneously illuminated, and the blood-red light converged from all directions at the bow. At the bow, space began to distort, time seemed to stand still, and a blood-red sphere of light was taking shape.

Years ago, this same sphere of light, containing terrifying energy the size of a hundred suns, nearly destroyed the entire solar system. Years later, it has reappeared.

A cold voice rang out from the red warship, and the next moment it launched an attack.

But this time, humanity has become even stronger.

Lin Feng stood by the window, watching the blood-red sphere of light that was coalescing. There was no fear in his eyes, only coldness. "Death Shield, full power activation," he said calmly.

On the outer edge of the solar system, a thousand defense platforms simultaneously lit up with a ghostly blue light. The Death Shield unfolded in an instant, layer upon layer of compressed space barriers completely enveloping the entire solar system. The barriers shimmered with a ghostly blue light in the starry sky, like a giant blue bubble, protecting the sun, planets, warships, and all of humanity's homes.

A crimson sphere of light, the size of a hundred suns, shot out from the bow of the red warship. The crimson beam ripped through the starry sky, tearing space apart, distorting time, and reducing all matter to nothingness in its wake.

The beam of light slammed into the death shield.

Boom! The entire starry sky trembled.

Crimson light and eerie blue light collided in the starry sky, unleashing a devastating energy storm. The surface of the death shield trembled violently, the eerie blue light flickering erratically. But the shield did not shatter, did not collapse, and did not even develop a single crack.

The crimson beams of light were constantly distorted, deflected, and absorbed within the compressed spatial barrier of the Death Shield. Powers strong enough to traverse galaxies were easily swallowed, dissipated, and reduced to nothingness before the Death Shield, like rivers meeting the sea.

The commander of the red warship was clearly unprepared for this. For the first time, a flicker of emotion crossed his mind—not anger, but disbelief.

"Impossible... This is impossible... How could your defenses possibly withstand our attack..."

Lin Feng ignored the voice. His gaze was icy cold, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"Death Shockwave, full power launch. Target: the Red Ship's propulsion and weapon systems. Do not destroy the main hull, capture them alive."

"Capture some of them alive; I have a use for them."

Lin Feng coldly issued the order, not intending to completely destroy them, but to capture them alive.

On the outer edge of the solar system, a thousand death shockwave cannons simultaneously lit up with a deep black light. The light was like the deepest darkness in the universe, yet within that darkness, tiny points of light flickered, like singularities within a black hole.

A thousand death shockwaves shot out from the defensive platform, constantly splitting, spreading, and covering the area as they flew. Each beam split into a hundred million thin beams, totaling a hundred billion death shockwaves, like a black rainstorm covering the entire starry sky, surging overwhelmingly towards the red warship.

At that moment, the commander of the red warship finally felt fear. "Full power defense! All shields! All armor! Stop them!" His voice boomed through his mental will, filled with undisguised panic.

The surface of the red warship lit up with blood-red shields, layer upon layer, a total of ten layers. At the same time, the warship's armor activated its maximum energy defense, and blood-red light flashed wildly on the surface of the armor.

But a hundred billion death shockwaves cannot be withstood by any defense.

The death shockwave activated its penetration mode the instant it made contact with the red warship's shields. The black beams, like ghosts, pierced through ten layers of blood-red shields, silently penetrating without causing an explosion or triggering an alarm.

The moment it pierced the shield, the death shockwave switched to penetration mode. Black beams pierced through the red warship's armor from all directions, precisely hitting the warship's power core and weapon systems.

In the instant of penetration, the death shockwave switched to explosive mode. The penetration explosion and the resonance explosion occurred simultaneously inside the warship, completely disintegrating its power and weapon systems from the core.

The red warship's power core shattered in the explosion, its crimson light flickering within the hull before extinguishing completely. The warship's weapon systems were reduced to scrap metal; all the cannons lost their glow, and all the energy patterns ceased flowing.

The massive red warship lost power in space, drifting helplessly like a monstrous beast with its teeth and claws ripped out. Its shields were gone, its armor shattered, and its weapons destroyed, but its enormous hull remained intact.

This was exactly the result Lin Feng wanted.

"Death Armored Forces, sortie! Board the ships and capture all enemies alive!"

Fifty thousand Death Armor suits flew out of the solar system, their black armor surfaces flowing with a ghostly blue light, and their energy wings unfurled in the starry sky, hurtling towards the powerless red warship at thousands of times the speed of light.

The armored soldiers, like black phantoms, silently landed on the surface of the red warship. Cutting beams gleamed from their armored gloves, slicing through the warship's armor layer by layer, allowing them to penetrate its interior.

The enemies aboard the red warship fought desperately, but their weapons were utterly ineffective against the Reaper Armor. The crimson beams of light struck the Reaper Armor's surface, only to be absorbed by the black spot energy coating, dispersed by the spatial compression armor, and slowed down by the time deceleration field, rendering them completely incapable of causing any damage.

The warriors in the Death Armor could shatter enemy armor with every punch and paralyze enemy resistance with every strike.

The battle ended within half an hour. All the enemies on the red warship were captured alive.

Lin Feng stood at the porthole of the command center, looking at the captured red behemoth, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Years ago, this warship nearly destroyed human civilization. Years ago, humanity was utterly powerless against it. Years ago, it forced humanity to flee to this parallel universe.

Years later, it reappeared, thinking it could crush humanity as easily as before. But it was wrong. Humanity had become far more powerful than it could have imagined.

They wanted to see if they could find a way back to their original universe from these guys. Even if they couldn't find a way, they could try to find the coordinates of their original universe through these guys and return to their original universe.

Lin Feng turned around and strode towards the laboratory.

Those enemies captured alive were members of the Crimson Civilization. They also came from the original universe.
