Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 96 Mars Base

Above a secret military base in the capital of the Huaxia United Government (formerly Kyoto Base City), a black saucer-shaped spaceship with a diameter of 100 meters suddenly appeared.

"None of the detection devices inside the military base, or even those salvaged from the ruins, could detect any trace of this spaceship."

In the command center of the military base, Jia Yi, Hong, and Lei Shen stared intently at the black spaceship in the sky. Jia Yi sighed.

"Qin Mu's strength has increased again. I have tried to enter that black spaceship many times, but I have been blocked by that gate."

Hong calmed down, as he was the one who felt most keenly the improvement in Qin Mu's strength.

When they first clashed on Kirishima Island, Qin Mu was only slightly better than him. However, in the following months of exchanges, Qin Mu's strength improved more and more rapidly, making it increasingly difficult for him to defend himself.

"Is this the method Qin Mu mentioned before for entering the universe?"

I originally thought it would be a long time before I could access the universe, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon!

After undergoing a series of purges, Thor, who had been busy for more than half a year for the Chinese United Government, also became serious for once.

The black spaceship slowly landed on the tarmac, the hatch opened, and Qin Mu stepped out.

Using the energy extraction method inherited from the Zerg, Qin Mu synthesized some energy blocks using the Mother Nest and put them into the spaceship, allowing the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship to return to normal operation.

"How's the preparation of the world's top machinery and energy personnel going, as I instructed?"

Upon meeting them, Qin Mu addressed the group.

Today, the United Government of China has integrated all of Earth's resources, including top scientific research talents.

During Qin Mu's cultivation period, Earth's martial arts and technology developed very rapidly.

As long as one has enough military merits, the spirits of plants and trees can be supplied without limit.

As a result, the number of war gods on Earth has exceeded 50,000, and the number of planetary-level beings has exceeded 200.

In terms of technology, the unification of all forces and the exchange of information obtained from the ruins led to a technological explosion.

Under Qin Mu's instructions, in order to facilitate Earth's future contact with the universe, some of Earth's relics have been gradually made public, and even virtual space has begun to be gradually opened up.

The Second World virtual space, built upon the intelligent system of the Ares Palace, has already been promoted on Earth.

However, due to factors such as production volume and price, virtual reality headsets are still relatively expensive and have not yet become widely available to the general public.

"It has been prepared according to your requirements, with over a hundred top experts in various fields."

Jia Yi said in a deep voice.

"That's good. After I cracked the AI ​​on this spaceship, I discovered that there was once a large steel city on Mars where three million people lived."

Millions of years have passed, and although there is no longer any life on it, the steel city continues to function normally.

It's just that the city's ability to block detection has prevented us from discovering it.

Let's take a spaceship to Mars first and bring that steel city under our control!

Then we can send our experts in to absorb and decipher the technology within. With the technology of that steel city, it's enough to bring Earth into the interstellar age!

This time, it was a rehearsal for our entry into the universe; next time, it will be when we truly enter the universe.

Qin Mu didn't keep them in suspense and spoke up.

These three are now at the highest levels of the Huaxia United Government, and they are also people who have given Qin Mu a lot of help along the way. Now that he has the ability, Qin Mu will not hesitate to lend them a hand.

For Earthlings, entering the universe is an incredible opportunity!

Hong, Lei Shen, and Jia Yi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

Is there really a steel city on Mars that once housed three million people and operated for over a million years?

Three million people!

What a huge city it was!

A steel city that has been running for millions of years and is still functioning normally.

What terrifying technological means this is!

We've struck it rich!

The thought popped into all three of their minds at the same time.

"Let's go! Let's take a look."

Thor immediately became excited.

While there are many relics on Earth, they are mostly the wreckage of various spaceships; complete bases are rare, let alone such a massive relic.

Not only Thor, but even Jia Yi and Hong had restless eyes.

"Okay, let's go there first. There are probably still many dangers in that steel city, but it shouldn't be a big problem for us."

Qin Mu nodded, saying that this was his purpose in coming, and of course he wouldn't refuse.

Before venturing into space, taking a trip around the solar system was also one of Qin Mu's plans.

He plans to fill the solar system with mother hives to hatch Zerg and collect resources, and then expand outwards from the solar system.

Mars is the first step in the plan.

After making some arrangements, the three followed Qin Mu into the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship, accompanied by a team of over a hundred elite military personnel.

These people will be stationed there after the steel base is breached.

"This spaceship is far more powerful than Hong's Primordial-class intelligent fighter jet."

Once inside the spaceship, Thor explored and examined everything. In terms of knowledge, Thor was among the most knowledgeable people on Earth.

"Of course, this is a spaceship capable of traversing the universe, unlike fighter jets that fly within Earth."

Qin Mu laughed when he heard that.

"We've already entered space. This spaceship can activate an outdoor simulation, so you can see the Earth we live on!"

Enable outdoor scene simulation at 100% completion.

The spaceship was very fast; the group chatted in the control room for a while before they had already left Earth.

"Scenery simulation?"

Thor asked, puzzled.

But the next moment, he realized what location simulation was.

brush!

Under Qin Mu's deliberate control, the entire control room, including the consoles, chairs, and floor, slowly blurred and disappeared.

The four of them seemed to be standing directly in the void, and they could see the infinite universe at a glance.

The group turned around at the same time, and a huge, azure planet came into view.

"What a nice view!"

Is this the Earth that nurtured us?

"So beautiful!"

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

When I first entered space and saw Earth with my own eyes, the shock and the soul-stirring feeling made even someone as composed as Hong feel a tremor in his heart.

Even though Qin Mu had already piloted a spaceship into space once before going to the military base, he was still awestruck at this moment.

It's a feeling that comes from the instinct of life, a feeling that comes from seeing the planet that nurtured you for the first time.

The azure planet was shrinking, and the group slowly came to their senses.

Hong's face returned to calm, as if he had come to some understanding.

In terms of comprehension, Hong is absolutely top-notch.

"Outdoor scene simulation enabled at 10%"

Qin Mu gave the order, and the surrounding starry sky became blurry and illusory, while the control console, chairs, and floor in the control room gradually became solid.

"This is a 100% exterior simulation function that only spaceships of Class B or higher have. It can completely simulate the starry sky. How about it? Isn't it amazing to see our Earth for the first time?"

Qin Mu smiled.

"It was so breathtaking. The moment I saw Earth, my soul was touched, and my mind became stronger."

Hong praised without hesitation.

"A Class B spaceship? What class is this spaceship?"

Jia Yi couldn't help but ask.

"A Class C spaceship, and one that is very powerful even among Class C spaceships. It is a space adventure spaceship that is very famous throughout the universe."

Even a cosmic-level powerhouse would find it difficult to destroy this spaceship; its laser cannons are all B6 level, capable of easily killing a level six celestial-level powerhouse.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi and the others gasped in shock.

It's difficult for even a cosmic-level powerhouse to destroy, and it can annihilate a level six powerhouse of the celestial realm!

This single spaceship alone could conquer the entire Earth.

The strongest beings on Earth are now only at the planetary level! There is absolutely no hope of destroying this spaceship.

Hong, Thor, and Jia Yi are among the strongest people on Earth. Through some information found in the ruins, they have a basic understanding of the universe.

Spaceships, laser cannons, and the like all have a general classification system, with Class A corresponding to the planetary level.

Grade B corresponds to the "Eternal Star".

Rank C corresponds to "Cosmic Level", Rank D corresponds to "Domain Lord Level", Rank E corresponds to "World Lord Level", and Rank F corresponds to "Immortal Level".

"With this spaceship, our safety when venturing into space is indeed greatly enhanced!"

Hong exclaimed in admiration.

"Indeed, but we need to plan this carefully, as our strength is still too weak."

Flying such a spaceship is like a child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace; it's likely to attract unscrupulous individuals. How to enter space requires careful planning!

"Naturally, we need to plan carefully. It's our first time entering space, so we can't be too careful."

According to our information, slavery exists in space; those below the planetary level aren't even considered citizens, and are not protected by law!

The group chatted, and although their words were serious, they were all in good spirits.

As they chatted, the spaceship continued to move automatically.

Shortly after, the spacecraft's AI system proactively alerted the crew that they were about to arrive at Mars.

Through the spaceship's external viewing system, the group saw a red planet appear ahead.

In ancient China, Mars was named "Yinghuoxing" because it was red and its unpredictable and confusing trajectory was known as "the constellation of fire."

Millions of years later, it finally welcomed its first group of Earthlings.

call!

The spacecraft entered the atmosphere and hovered in the air after passing through Mars' thin atmosphere.

The hatch opened, and four humans, their bodies completely encased in Moyun Vine armor, flew out of the spaceship.

Looking down, the four saw towering pyramids rising on the vast, sandy land.

With their eyesight, the group could clearly see that although the pyramid was decayed on the outside, it was still in operation.

Beneath the nine pyramids lies a vast steel city stretching as far as the eye can see, its various buildings dilapidated and clearly uninhabited.

"My God! This city is huge! And those nine pyramids are actually still functioning!"

"We're rich! We're really rich!"

Start exploring the city now!

I'm also writing at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year. If you have any monthly passes, I hope you can support me. Thank you!
