Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch.

The five captains fell into a brief silence.

"The Star Empire demands that humans no longer retain any space fleets. If we return, we must hand over the starships to them."

"And then return to pre-space-age life."

Chu Yan said.

The crew members looked a little unhappy.

They more or less have some feelings for the starship, and it would be a bit reluctant to hand it over just like that.

What's more, after returning, there will be no chance to set foot in space again.

"Continue to flee? They don't seem to care about us~"

Dongfang Yanxu clicked on the star map on the holographic interface.

"We can, as the last remaining free humans, rebuild a new civilization in the universe."

"The closest star system from which we can obtain supplies is... NH558J2, in the direction of Cygnus."

"It has two planets, both of which are gas and liquid planets similar to Jupiter. They are not suitable for human survival, but they can be used to replenish nuclear fusion fuel for spacecraft."

"..."

The captains were silent.

Cygnus is eighteen light-years away from the solar system.

Taking into account various problems during the journey, it will take about 2000 years to arrive.

No supply ship could reach there.

unless……

Concentrate the resources of other spacecraft and put most of the crew into hibernation.

"!"

A fleeting thought flashed through the minds of the five captains.

Scary and dark.

"... Let's go back first. We'll make a decision later."

Zhang Beihai sighed.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave.

Nourishes—

A burst of white snowflakes appeared on the holographic interface, and the communication from the Wannian Fengxue came in.

In the tachyon communication state, there is no information delay between the two parties.

Lu Chen glanced at the five captains standing neatly in the cabin, then looked at Zhang Beihai who was frowning.

I always feel that this scene is familiar.

"Stop running! If you keep running, we'll have to play Space Battle Royale again."

"You guys come back first."

"???"

More than 5,000 crew members and several captains looked at Lu Chen in confusion.

I was shocked and confused for a moment.

"I guarantee your safety, return home."

Lu Chen smiled.

If this group of people were to run away according to the original plot, Chu Yan would probably be the final winner.

He, Zhang Beihai, Ding Yi and others are considered to be the few people on earth with brains.

"..."

The crew looked at Zhang Beihai, waiting for his opinion.

"Let's go back."

Zhang Beihai sighed.

"If they pursue us, we won't be able to escape."

"Now, we still have some room for mediation and negotiation."

hum-

Several starships slowly turned and flew towards the solar system.

……

……

The Natural Selection and several other starships took several days to return to the solar system.

Just after passing the orbit of Mercury from one side, the huge ship floating above the sun can be seen with the naked eye.

The Overlord hovered quietly above the stars, with the starry sky above his head and the blazing stars below him.

The Milky Way is reflected on its towering hull, forming a regular silver-white halo, which is interwoven with the blazing sunlight, appearing solemn and majestic.

Facing a giant planetary ship at close range, the crew members couldn't help but tremble.

Especially when you think about its ability to destroy stars and see it parked on the sun, it is even more frightening.

Click——

They were received by a shuttle piloted by an omnipotent angel.

Zhang Beihai, Chu Yan and several other people whose names were called boarded the shuttle and headed towards the bridge of the Wannian Fengxue.

They noticed that a star base equivalent to a small town had been built above the sun.

Tens of thousands of Bris were waving tools above, constructing buildings in the star base at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A space city on the sun? How did they do that?..."

Chu Yan frowned, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

"And those workers? Are they artificial intelligence?! Why are they building a space city with hammers and drills?!?"

"..."

Zhang Beihai didn't understand either. The space civilization he imagined should use intelligent AI or engineering robots to carry out space operations.

Why is the star base of a faster-than-light civilization built entirely by hand?!

After thinking for a long time, the captains still couldn't figure it out.

I just regarded it as the mighty power of a divine civilization, and my knowledge was not enough to understand it.

Twenty minutes later.

Several people met Lu Chen in the bridge of the Wannian Fengxue.

A general with an oriental face, Chu Yan and Zhang Beihai felt a sense of closeness.

Most of the ship girls were sent out to eliminate aliens and scout the situation, and some stayed in the bridge.

Everyone was stunned.

"Their captains are all girls?..."

"Wait, there's no crew on this starship that's bigger than the moon?!"

"A 3600-kilometer-long unmanned starship??!"

They were speechless as they were shocked by one shocking fact after another.

I intuitively felt the technological gap between humans and the Star Empire.

"Well, to put it simply, I want to talk to you."

Lu Chen gestured for everyone to sit down and looked at Zhang Beihai and Chu Yan.

It's a waste of time to argue with the troublemakers on Earth, but he is willing to spend some energy on these two.

"As you can see, the Star Sea Empire has completely controlled the entire solar system, and the star base will be completed soon."

"We will conduct research on the Trisolaran Universe here, including its unique technologies and alien civilizations."

He explained the situation to everyone in a concise and clear manner.

"... As for you... I'll give you two options."

Lu Chen thought about it.

"Stay on Earth. Earth will no longer have a space force. You can do other things. The United Government will ensure you enjoy good living conditions."

"Or continue sailing towards the stars. I can provide you with some supplies."

"..."

Everyone pondered for a moment.

The other party is willing to give you a choice, which really shows that he respects you.

You can enjoy a stable life by staying on Earth, but you can never reach the starry sky again.

A few people looked at each other and exchanged a few brief words.

Zhang Beihai spoke first:

"There's no need for us to come back to Earth."

He shook his head and looked at Lu Chen.

“Once humans set foot in the starry sky, they became a new civilization.”

"I like Natural Selection very much. It is our dream two centuries ago. In order to build a starship, I had to do a lot of things."

"If I could choose my own destiny, let me stay with the starship."

"As the leader of an interstellar civilization, you should understand what I mean?"

Chu Yan and several other captains nodded in agreement.

"..."

"really."

Lu Chen looked at the starry sky outside the window, lost in thought.

"It's a waste of your talents to let you stay on Earth with those unruly people."

……

……

Two weeks later.

A small star base was built above the sun.

The two spacecraft, Natural Selection and Blue Space, slowly sailed out from their parking lot.

Their hulls and engines were completely remodeled, and based on the technological level that humans can understand, they were equipped with light-speed engines and more advanced ion weapons.

The spacecraft set out on its journey, loaded with enough supplies to sustain thousands of years of interstellar travel.

The two spacecraft are led by Zhang Beihai and Chu Yan, with Ding Yi as the scientist on board, carrying humans who are willing to leave the solar system and explore deep space.

Although the Three-Body people are annoying, there are still some dreamers who yearn for the starry sky.

The rest who were unwilling to take risks returned to Earth.

From then on, in addition to the solar system ruled by the Star Sea Empire, there was another human civilization wandering in the void.

——Starship Earth.

“Thank you for your support and hopefully one day we can return your gift.”

Zhang Beihai greeted Lu Chen on the holographic interface.

"Go."
