Meng Chao was dumbfounded. He thought about it for a long time before he asked tentatively, "Professor Lu, are you saying that aside from Earth and the Other World, we can also transmigrate to … um … other planets?"
"Why not?"
Lu Tianxing's eyes shone intensely, and his face was filled with confidence. "First, we already know that a brilliant and glorious ancient civilization once existed in the Other World. That civilization is closely connected to Earthlings. At the very least, they were able to open up a sea route from the Other World to Earth millions of years ago.
"Second, we know that the ancient civilization has very advanced biochemical modification abilities. Many of the monsters we captured were dissected, and we discovered that they can perfectly fuse a large number of arthropods and mammalian organs together. In fact, they can even fuse the characteristics of plants and animals together. They can also inject all sorts of talents into their genes. This supernatural power is equivalent to magic and divine arts, and it's the manifestation of technology reaching its peak.
"Third, we also know that the gravity, pressure, oxygen content, and ecosystem of Earth and the Other World are about the same.
"The chances of finding two planets that are the same in the universe are practically zero. In other words, Earth and the Other World have definitely been modified by the ancient civilization.
"Since the ancient civilization has the ability to modify planets, do you think that they would only modify Earth and the Other World? Could it be that there are other planets that have been modified by the ancient civilization and have humans, monsters, and other unbelievable creatures? In fact, they might even have civilizations. "
Meng Chao felt his heart surge.
Lu Tianxing's words had opened a brand new door for him.
The entire world instantly grew one hundred times, no, ten thousand times, no, it was billions of times bigger!
Originally, Meng Chao only saw the Other World shrouded in fog.
But now, he saw endless dazzling stars in the Other World.
"By the way, during the film appreciation show in Blue Home, I heard from Researcher Wu Haibo of Project 101 that there's a hypothesis of a city starship. He said that there's a high possibility that there's a hyperspace engine from the ancient civilization buried under Dragon City. As long as we can repair and activate the engine, we can turn Dragon City into a huge starship that can reach the other side of the galaxy."
Meng Chao stared at Lu Tianxing and said excitedly, "Is what Researcher Wu said true?"
Lu Tianxing smiled. He neither admitted nor denied it. He only said, "Right now, we still don't know if it's really a 'super space-time engine'. However, a city is the carrier of a civilization, and it's also the crystallization of a civilization. Using a city as a unit for interstellar travel is indeed much more reasonable than building an interstellar spaceship or pushing an entire planet to travel.
"If we can really activate the hyperspace engine under Dragon City, then our entire civilization's mission and appearance will change drastically. Perhaps when we leave Earth, we won't just obtain the Other World, but the entire universe.
"But —"
"No matter where this journey that is full of thorns and flames will take us, we can never forget that we came from Earth, and we can never forget our mission of returning to Earth.
"Earth is not a paradise where everything is perfect.
"I'm not an Earth fundamentalist who believes that Earthlings must live on Earth.
"But at the very least, at the current stage, the culture, morals, laws, customs, and social structure from Earth are the cornerstones that support Dragon City's civilization.
"Dragon City's civilization is a civilization where the social strata are being torn apart, and the cracks are only getting bigger.
"Superhumans have the ability to move the world, and they're gradually moving in the direction of the legendary immortals and even deities.
"The normal people who can't awaken to supernatural abilities are curled up in shacks with terrible environments. They can't get used to the development of the times. In fact, they can't even earn their own living and take care of their families. They also have to constantly face the threats of viruses, spores, monsters, and all sorts of Other World creatures. The pressure to survive is one hundred times greater than it was on Earth.
"If it weren't for the 'inertia' left behind by the morals and laws on Earth that caused superhumans and normal people to instinctively treat each other as comrades, we might have drifted apart in just a short few decades. In fact, we might have completely split apart.
"At that time, the normal people who can't awaken to supernatural abilities will be completely eliminated in the brutal competition for survival.
"And the stronger the superhumans become, the more twisted their minds and souls will become. In the end, even if the superhumans truly possess the power of deities and inherit all the legacies of the ancient civilization, they can use the hyperspace engine to expand the tentacles of their civilization to every corner of the universe. But they will no longer have anything to do with the Earth civilization that we're so proud of.
"This is the true meaning behind the existence of the Home Party.
"Even if we can't return to Earth for the time being, we have to do everything we can to retain the hope of returning to Earth.
"As long as this hope exists, we will forever believe that we are Earthlings, and we will respect and defend the morals, laws, fairness, justice, and all the beautiful things of Earth.
"Then, even if we can never return to Earth, does it matter? As long as Earth is in our hearts, we can change the countless planets in the Other World and the universe into a new Earth so that the spirit of Earth's civilization will forever shine in the universe! "
…
A long time after he left the ward, Meng Chao sat down with Zhao Feixuan in the small tea bar in the convenience store below the inpatient department. His heart still surged, and he could not calm down even after a long time had passed.
He felt that Professor Lu was even better at fooling people than Lu Siya's father.
"Amazing, right?"
Zhao Feixuan asked. "After you heard Professor Lu's words, did your heart surge with excitement? Did you want to go through hell and die for Earth's civilization?"
"Of course."
Meng Chao nodded. "The hyperspace engine! The journey to the universe! The spirit of Earth's civilization will forever shine in the endless universe! It's too exciting. I've misunderstood the Home Party all this time. The Home Party isn't a bunch of cowards. Our great ideals are much bolder than the Colonization Party's talk of sweeping through the Other World! "
"Since you've also sensed the boldness of Project 101, have you ever considered investing in research funds?"
Zhao Feixuan struck while the iron was hot. "Right now, the project has reached its most critical moment. Perhaps we only need you to invest a bit of research funds, and our civilization will rise to power in the universe."
"Huh?"
Meng Chao blinked. "Of course I want to see the spirit of Earth's civilization shine in the universe, but you know my situation. I've just reached Heaven Realm, and I need to buy a lot of cultivation resources to stabilize my cultivation realm." Superstar is also recruiting people and expanding its operations. I've already borrowed money from around eight banks, but I'm still lacking in cash. I don't have a single drop left, and even though I want to, I don't have the money! "
"That's not important. You don't have money, but the members of the Broken Star Club have money, don't they?"
Zhao Feixuan put his arm around Meng Chao's shoulder and said in a friendly manner, "What I'm saying is that you're the club leader of the Broken Star Club and the thirteenth committee member of Blue Home. There's more room for interaction and cooperation between our organizations.
"In the first place, many of our members overlapped with each other. Many of them joined Blue Home's activities a few years ago and joined the Broken Star Club last year.
"Besides, our ideals are more focused on normal citizens and middle-grade and low-grade superhumans.
"We've had a great time working together on the public welfare activities we've organized, so we can definitely continue with it. We can also invite the experts from Project 101, Researcher Wu, and the others to introduce the urban starship hypothesis to the Broken Star Club members as well as the importance of Project 101."
"About that …"
Meng Chao naturally knew that Blue Home had not invited him to become the thirteenth committee member just because of his charisma.
90% of it was because of his charisma.
The other 10% might be because they wanted to spread the ideals of the Home Party among the one hundred thousand or so members of the Broken Star Club.
Professor Lu Tianxing had taught him Astral Soul Visualization the first time he met him, and he had also treated him with such sincerity. He might also be trying to get some sponsors.
He had no other choice. Money was the most important thing when it came to scientific research.
Professor Lu Tianxing was the most important person in charge of a project, so his most important task was not research, but money.
No matter how small a fly was, it was still meat. There were more than one hundred thousand Broken Star Club members, and if all of them could give their love to the controllable transmigration project, it would be a beautiful future for the club!
Meng Chao did not dislike this.
Because Lu Tianxing's words had indeed given him a sense of hope, and he felt like he had found a new path.
Originally, the method he thought of to crush the apocalypse was to make Dragon City one hundred times stronger than it was in his previous life at all costs so that he could win against all the extraordinary beings in the Other World and become the masters of the Other World.
It had to be said that even if he was someone who had returned to the past, had extraordinary talent, and was full of talent, it was still a little difficult for him to achieve this strategic goal.
Besides, on the path of conquering the Other World, he would definitely have to fight countless fierce battles, and countless of his compatriots would be sacrificed. There would also be countless compatriots who would be soaked in blood that would never dry in a hellish slaughterhouse, and they would become completely different from before.
Meng Chao did not hope that he and the Dragon Citizens would end up like what the instructor with the black skull had said in his previous life. Even if they turned into existences like cockroaches, as long as they survived, it would be fine.
But Project 101 brought them a second choice aside from fighting to the death against the extraordinary beings in the Other World.
If what Professor Lu Tianxing said was true …
Could the transmigration experts really repair the legendary hyperspace engine so that all of Dragon City would have the ability to transmigrate again?
It did not matter whether they transmigrated back to Earth or transmigrated to a third planet that was beyond Earth and the Other World.
It meant that when they faced the extraordinary beings in the Other World and the apocalypse, Dragon City would have high mobility on a tactical level.
