Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

The miracle at the summit of Mount Tai has plunged the entire world into an unprecedented frenzy.

Zhang Huaimin ignored the frenzied pilgrims below the mountain.

He withdrew his gaze from the sea of ​​clouds, a thought stirring within him.

The ancient divine stone, which had been analyzed down to just a thin layer of stone skin, turned into a clump of dust and drifted away in the wind.

"Ancient Starry Sky Path Detection Radar..."

Zhang Huaimin looked at the newly unlocked icon on the system panel, which was flashing with a deep purple light, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"With this, the secret of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin can no longer be kept."

He turned around, and the illusory image of the emperor behind him instantly disappeared into his body.

The wind surged back in, billowing his black trench coat.

"Let's go, Brother Chen, back to the Northwest."

Three months later.

Northwest China, the heart of the desert.

This place is perpetually shrouded in yellow sand and rarely visited by humans.

But deep underground lies a top-secret space base that could change the course of human history—"Nantianmen".

The entire base was hollowed out from a mountain, so grand it was breathtaking.

"Hurry! The third set of high-dimensional energy loop coils still has a 0.01 mm error. Recalibrate immediately!"

"Absolutely no mistakes can be made!"

Old Chen was wearing a white coat and holding a walkie-talkie.

He was sweating profusely and shouting loudly on the huge scaffolding.

This hero, who contributed to China's nuclear weapons and satellite program, was like a tireless supervisor at this moment.

He has barely slept for the past three months.

The entire base has 100,000 top scientists and senior technicians, bringing together the most elite industrial forces in all of China.

They were all working day and night to tackle the final challenge, all centered around a blueprint from Zhang Huaimin!

"Grandpa Chen, take a rest. That little bit of error is no problem for the 'adaptive adjustment array'."

Zhang Huaimin sat in a transparent command cabin suspended in mid-air.

He was holding a nine-linked ring in his hand, playing with it idly.

Over the past few months, he has perfectly integrated the high-dimensional energy formula he deciphered from the sacred stone of Mount Tai into the design blueprints of the spaceship engine.

Those theories that seem like gibberish to Earth scientists.

Under his micro-management guidance of "god-level thinking enhancement," it was broken down into executable engineering steps.

"Huaimin, this is the first warp drive in China, no, in all of humanity, capable of spatial folding!"

Old Chen wiped his sweat, his hands trembling with excitement.

"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, this old man wouldn't be able to die in peace!"

Zhang Huaimin smiled and didn't try to persuade him further.

He knew that this was the almost religious obsession that the older generation of scientists had for major national projects.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief!"

An engineer, his face covered in engine oil, excitedly tumbled and crawled into the command center.

"Engine core array assembly complete! All data verified!"

"Requesting final network connection testing!"

boom!

The moment those words were spoken, the entire underground base fell silent.

All 100,000 staff members stopped what they were doing, held their breath, and stared intently at the enormous machine in the center.

Old Chen's hands were shaking so badly he could barely hold the walkie-talkie.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Huaimin, his eyes filled with undisguised fervor and anticipation.

Zhang Huaimin casually tossed the nine-linked rings onto the table.

He stood up, walked to the control panel, and looked down at the massive, complex engine core that resembled a heart.

"Let's begin."

Zhang Huaimin spoke calmly, his slender fingers pressing the red start button.

"Buzz—!"

There were no ear-piercing mechanical roars, nor any explosions with flames shooting into the sky.

Only a deep, resonant sound, seemingly capable of piercing the very soul, echoed within the underground base.

Followed by.

The surface of that enormous warp drive engine began to glow with a dreamlike, ethereal blue light.

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually forming a slightly distorted spatial force field that was visible to the naked eye around the engine!

"This...this is the power of spatial folding?!"

Old Chen stared wide-eyed at the distorted air, tears streaming down his face.

"We did it! We did it!"

"The theory of exceeding the speed of light has truly become a reality!"

The entire underground base erupted in a tsunami of cheers and thunderous applause.

Countless scientists embraced and wept, knowing that at this moment, humanity had finally broken free from the shackles of Earth's gravity.

We've officially obtained our ticket to the stars and the sea!

"Quiet."

Zhang Huaimin's clear voice, broadcast throughout the venue, drowned out all the cheers.

He looked at the excited researchers and a smug smile crept across his face.

"Since the heart is already beating."

"Then let everyone see the true face of this behemoth."

Zhang Huaimin turned his head and gave an order to the communications officer in the control room.

"Open the isolation dome of Hangar One!"

"yes!"

With the communicator's hurried operation.

Deep within the base lies a massive hangar that has always been tightly sealed off, a place even Elder Chen has never been able to fully glimpse.

The blast-proof dome, ten meters thick, slid slowly to both sides, accompanied by the dull sound of metal gears grinding together.

When the dome is fully opened.

The blinding shadowless light instantly illuminated the vast, bottomless space.

"hiss--!"

The entire venue had 100,000 people.

In that instant, they all gasped in shock!

Dead!

It was a hundred times more deathly silent than before!

Everyone stared blankly at the hangar below, as if frozen in place.

What a colossal thing it was!

It lay quietly on the huge launch pad.

It has a deep, cold, dark golden luster that seems to devour all light.

That was an indestructible hull created by Zhang Huaimin himself using "nano-single crystal composite armor"!

Its length exceeds one kilometer!

Its width also reached an astonishing three hundred meters!

It is not constrained by the aerodynamic shape of modern aircraft, but presents a highly aggressive, streamlined sword-like structure full of cyberpunk heavy industrial violent aesthetics.

At its bow, a massive, terrifying plasma main cannon exudes a chilling aura of killing intent.

Both sides of the ship are densely covered with various secondary guns and missile launchers.

This is not an ordinary spaceship at all.

This is a steel Kunpeng sleeping underground, ready to tear apart the starry sky at any moment!

It is a real, heavily armed interstellar war fortress!

"Pangu!"

Zhang Huaimin looked at this masterpiece that embodied the highest level of industrial technology on Earth and his countless cutting-edge technologies.

His eyes gleamed with an almost intoxicating fervor.

"This...this is something we made?!"

Old Chen slumped in his chair, his lips trembling.

Although he participated in the engine manufacturing, he never expected that Zhang Huaimin would secretly complete such a terrifying ship hull construction!

This is a creation technique that only gods could possess!

"Comrade Huaimin... can this ship... fly out of the solar system?"

A young aerospace expert swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhang Huaimin turned his head, looked at him, and smiled slightly.

"The solar system?"

"This 'Pangu' can not only fly out of the solar system, but it can also take us to the deepest part of the universe."

"Go and beat those self-righteous old friends of the starry sky to a pulp."

These extremely arrogant yet inspiring words instantly ignited the passion of all the researchers present!

"Long live the Chinese Starfleet!"

"Long live Consultant Zhang!"

The deafening slogans echoed throughout the enormous hangar, lingering for a long time.

Zhang Huaimin ignored the cheers of the crowd.

He stepped out of the command cabin, took the elevator, and went directly to the bottom floor of the hangar.

He stood before the Pangu, a dark gold ship whose hull was as tall as a city wall.

He stretched out his slightly pale hand and gently stroked the cold, hard surface of the armor.

The feeling of being connected by blood, as if he could feel the heartbeat of the warship, was extremely intoxicating to him.

however.

Just as Zhang Huaimin was preparing to order the first flight test.

"Beep—beep—beep—!!!"

suddenly!

The entire deep space exploration radar system of the "Nantianmen" base.

Without warning, a piercing, chilling, highest-level red alert blared out!

"What's going on?!" Old Chen exclaimed in shock.

On the central screen of the command hall, the once calm star map instantly turned blood red.

A radar monitor turned around in horror, his face ashen, his voice trembling and distorted.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Radar detected extremely strong spatial fluctuations!"

"On the far side of the moon, less than 300,000 kilometers from Earth's orbit!"

The monitor stared intently at the huge red dot that had suddenly appeared on the screen and was rapidly enlarging.

"There is... there is an unidentified giant object traveling at a terrifying speed of less than the speed of light."

"It's flying straight towards Earth!"
