Chapter 962
Taking a Risk! The Executive Officer
Faced with this terrifying blow, Chen Feng did not choose to take it head-on.
He decisively used the scroll's teleportation ability and disappeared from the spot.
Almost the instant Chen Feng disappeared, that slash came down with perfect accuracy!
Stab it!
Wherever the blade's light passed, the starry sky was instantly split in two!
This crack, which stretches across the starry sky, can be clearly seen from a distance and extends for hundreds of thousands of miles.
"Hmm?" The armored man wielding the sword looked at the spot where Chen Feng had disappeared with a puzzled expression.
A man in armor standing nearby, holding a long spear, said:
"He escaped. The research institute underestimated his abilities."
At this moment, Wright and his group also arrived in front of the two armored men.
"You two executive officers, has Chen Feng been dealt with?"
The Executive Officer is a special position in the Crimson Cloud Empire, which can only be held by eighth-tier powerhouses.
They were separate from the Empire's fleet system, but their status was higher than that of the Empire's generals.
The executive officer only obeys the orders of the imperial head and the central government.
The man with the sword glanced at Wright and said calmly, "He escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Wright and the other fleet soldiers all changed their expressions.
"How is this possible!"
Their operation was planned by the research institute.
It utilizes two of the Empire's most advanced technologies: a high-dimensional projection teleporter and a gravity interference device.
Of the two latest technologies developed by the empire, the high-dimensional projection teleporter is the most remarkable. This technology can project a person directly to a distance of tens of light-years, and the person being projected will possess 80% of the original person's strength.
However, this technology can only be used by eighth-level powerhouses, because high-dimensional projection requires enduring extremely terrifying cosmic rules, which no one but eighth-level powerhouses can withstand.
As for the gravity interference device, it can affect the gravity of a star field, and any living organism under the coverage of this gravity field will be suppressed.
At that moment, a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.
An elderly man in a white coat appeared in the projection. Strangely, half of his face was made of mechanical material, making him look like a robot.
Upon seeing this person, the two executives and Wright and the others immediately greeted him: "Director Bai."
Director Bai is the current deputy director of the Imperial Research Institute.
He is also one of the Empire's top technology experts, and the plan targeting Chen Feng was devised by him.
Director Bai began by saying:
"I underestimated this person. It seems that his teleportation is not based on gravity, but on a method we are unaware of."
A few days ago, the research institute, under the orders of the head of state, began to discuss ways to deal with Chen Feng.
The most discussed topic was undoubtedly Chen Feng's teleportation method.
After some discussion, the research institute concluded that Chen Feng's teleportation was most likely achieved using gravity.
Gravitational teleportation involves directly connecting two distant points in spacetime using strong gravity, then creating a spacetime tunnel in between, allowing for instantaneous teleportation.
This is the conclusion drawn from the research.
This is why they used a gravity interference device this time, specifically to prevent Chen Feng from teleporting.
However, it ended in failure.
The opponent's teleportation has nothing to do with gravity. Although their gravity jammer restricted the opponent's movement, it could not restrict the opponent's teleportation.
At this moment, the executor holding the battle sword asked:
"Could he be using a technology similar to high-dimensional projection?"
Director Bai shook his head:
"It's unlikely. We've only just begun to explore high-latitude technology. If he really possessed such technology, he would be at least a level four civilization. How could he possibly be in the Orion Arm?"
Upon hearing this analysis, the group all nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if the other side truly possessed high-dimensional technology, then there would be no need for them to flee; on the contrary, it would be their Crimson Cloud Empire that should be fleeing.
"I will continue to discuss a plan to deal with him. You continue to track him down." Director Bai said and then hung up the communication.
After the call ended, Wright said:
"Then I'll use the quantum detector to search for him; he should be there."
However, Wright hadn't finished speaking.
The armored man wielding a sword seemed to sense something and immediately turned his gaze towards the location of the star-domain-class warship:
"Who?"
Suddenly, Chen Feng appeared in front of the Starfield-class warship.
No one expected that Chen Feng, who had just run away, would suddenly appear in front of them.
The moment Chen Feng appeared, he grabbed at the star-domain-class warship in front of him without any hesitation!
The terrifying power of the stars immediately enveloped the warship.
The dark matter force field inside the warship produced a loud explosion as soon as it touched Chen Feng's star power.
The dark matter force field covering the command room dimmed at a visible rate.
At this moment, Chen Feng also came into contact with the Star Domain-class warship.
"Oh no, he's trying to steal the warship!" Wright immediately saw through Chen Feng's intentions.
The two armored men beside him attacked the moment they saw Chen Feng.
The terrifying power of the world instantly crushed towards Chen Feng.
The surrounding starry sky shattered immediately upon contact with this power of the world.
The nearby star-class warships were utterly powerless against this world power and were instantly blasted into dust.
However, just as that power of the world was about to arrive, Chen Feng had already disappeared from the spot, along with the star-domain-level warship.
Looking at the empty starry sky, the two armored men had very grim expressions.
It was one thing for Chen Feng to escape from their grasp before, but now he's managed to escape right under their noses again. This is undoubtedly a slap in their face.
Wright reacted the fastest; he immediately said to the adjutant beside him:
"Quickly, locate the warship's position!"
Wright was the most panicked. Starfield-class warships were the Empire's core strategic force, and each one was extremely valuable.
If it is lost, he will inevitably be held accountable by the empire.
The adjutant next to him quickly took out a communicator and began to locate the warship's position.
Each of the Empire's star-class warships has its own encrypted data, which can be quickly tracked even if stolen. In addition, it has a self-destruct program that can be activated if it finds that the data cannot be recovered.
However, the adjutant was dumbfounded when he saw the notification on the communicator:
"Reporting, we are unable to contact the warship."
"What? How is this possible!" Wright's eyes widened.
The Empire's warships can be located and contacted no matter how far away they are, because the warships constantly send signals. These signals are quantum communication signals, which cannot be blocked.
"What about the quantum detector? Has it found its target?" Wright continued to ask.
The adjutant shook his head again: "No, there are no other life forms within ten light-years of us."
Upon hearing this, Wright seemed to lose all his spirit.
Not only did their plan fail, but they also lost a star-level warship. One can only imagine how the leader will react when he finds out. His time as a general is truly over.
The warship man wielding a sword then spoke:
“Keep searching. He couldn’t have disappeared forever; he must have concealed himself through some means.”
Upon hearing this, Wright immediately said, "That's right. He couldn't have left the ten-light-year range so quickly. He must have hidden himself using methods we don't know about. He must be nearby. Everyone, board the warship and prepare to depart!"
Although the two armored men destroyed many warships earlier, there are still a few warships left.
At this moment, Wright could only hope that the other party had hidden themselves, rather than having left the ten-light-year range.
"We'll be leaving now. The Empire's support will be here soon," the armored man said to Wright, before disappearing from the scene with another person.
The two of them were not their original forms, but rather projections from a higher dimension.
These projections last for a very short time, and their true forms are subjected to terrifying cosmic forces every moment.
Now that Chen Feng has disappeared, they cannot find him in a short time, so they have no choice but to evacuate.
After the two armored men left, Wright led his men back to the warship and began heading away from the solar system.
Because Chen Feng had left in this direction before.
So he had no choice but to follow in that direction.
A world depicted in a painting.
Chen Feng appeared on the back mountain of Xingfeng Sect, and a hideous wound was now visible on his back.
This wound was caused by the world power of those two armored men.
With Chen Feng's current physique, his self-healing ability has reached an abnormal level.
However, the wound could not heal because there was an extremely powerful force within it, which hindered the recovery of the wound.
"The strength of those two is definitely far superior to that of Blood Fiend Heavenly Venerable and others!" Chen Feng's expression was solemn.
In the modern world, an eighth-tier powerhouse is equivalent to a Heavenly Venerable at the Breaking Dao Realm in the world of the painting.
However, he had fought against several Heavenly Venerables from the Xuanhuang Realm before. Although those people were also very powerful, they were far less powerful than those two armored men.
Clearly, even at the Celestial Venerable level, the difference in strength is enormous.
After sensing the power of the world within the wound, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the wound is troublesome, he can recover with some time.
Given the scroll's teleportation ability, if he wanted to leave, the other party wouldn't have been able to hurt him. The reason he was injured by those two was naturally because he wanted to steal the star-domain-level warship.
Chen Feng waved his right hand, and a massive warship quickly appeared in front of him.
This warship is a Starfield-class warship of the Crimson Cloud Empire.
The warship was completely empty at that moment. The instant the scroll was transmitted, everyone inside the warship was erased by the power of the two worlds.
Chen Feng walked to the hatch of the warship, where there was a screen.
As he approached, the voice from the warship's terminal sounded on the screen:
"Authentication failed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng frowned. He had almost forgotten that even if he managed to seize the warship, he probably wouldn't be able to use it.
High-tech products like these all use encryption technology.
People who haven't been verified cannot use it at all, and can't even log in.
As for forcibly breaking it open, that would be even more difficult.
The world power of those two eighth-tier experts also affected this warship, but the warship was not damaged, which is enough to show that the materials used in this warship are very unusual.
Although Chen Feng was confident that he could break through the warship in time, doing so would undoubtedly reduce the warship's value.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng flashed into the warship's command room.
Using the scroll's teleportation ability, he can enter any enclosed area.
Inside the command center, the instruments around him were still lit up, but Chen Feng couldn't operate them because he didn't have the necessary permissions.
"We can only try to crack this warship first; if that doesn't work, we'll have to dismantle it."
Chen Feng then left the warship and returned to the outside world.
He was not worried that the Crimson Cloud Empire would be able to locate the warship or remotely control it.
He has already brought them into the world of the painting. No matter how capable the Crimson Cloud Empire is, it cannot control this warship across two worlds.
If this warship can be hacked, its value will be extraordinary.
Leaving aside the weapon systems mentioned above, the dark matter engine of this warship alone is enough to change the current technology of Xingfengmen.
Chen Feng then took out his phone and sent a message.
Before long, an antimatter warship arrived, and Yue Yao led a group of people ashore.
When Yue Yao and the others saw the giant warship that was 100,000 meters long in front of them, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sect Master... this is..." Yue Yao asked Chen Feng.
"This is a warship. See if you can hack into its smart terminal."
Chen Feng gave a general overview of the star-domain-class warship.
Currently, the strongest team in Xingfengmen in terms of technology is Yue Yao's team, which has attracted the most outstanding scientific researchers in Xingfengmen.
These are all people from the world of the painting, but because of the different flow of time, each of them has studied modern technology for hundreds of years, in addition to being in contact with various high-end technologies of the Xingfeng Sect for many years.
In terms of scientific research level, although it is still a bit behind Lin Wei's, it is already quite good.
Chen Feng had considered bringing the warship back to Earth so that Lin Wei and the others could decipher it.
But he feared that the Crimson Cloud Empire would discover him as soon as he brought the warship back.
Therefore, letting Yue Yao and the others try to crack the code here is the best approach at present.
Yue Yao immediately said, "Please rest assured, Sect Leader, we will definitely crack this warship!"
Yue Yao was very excited, as she had basically had nothing to do during this period.
The warships were manufactured by the factory, and she and her researchers could only improve them each day, which was not considered an important task.
Now that Chen Feng has suddenly acquired such a technologically advanced warship, Yue Yao is naturally very excited.
Chen Feng instructed, "Don't do anything reckless. If you can't crack it, don't try. I'll think of a way later."
Chen Feng was also afraid that Yue Yao wouldn't be able to solve the problem and might resort to extreme measures.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless," Yue Yao immediately assured her.
"Okay, you guys study it first." Chen Feng didn't say anything more, and then he disappeared from the spot.
He needed to return to his cave to heal his injuries, so naturally he wouldn't stay here any longer.
After Chen Feng left, Yue Yao immediately gave the order:
"Quickly, tow this warship to the nuclear factory!"
The staff members nearby immediately stepped forward and began to work, taking out ropes one by one.
These ropes are special magical artifacts; towing this warship is no problem at all.
"Be careful, don't break it, take your time!"
Yue Yao gave instructions and reminders at the same time. (End of this chapter)
