Chapter 997
Lu Chen
"Name?" The sacred tree shook its head. "I have no name."
She doesn't have a name yet; she hasn't had one since the moment she was born. The name "Sacred Tree" is something she was called after her clan appeared.
Chen Feng interrupted their conversation and asked, "Did you bring everything you prepared?"
Jack, who was standing nearby, immediately replied:
"We've brought everything. We can start working now, just waiting for your order, boss!"
"Okay, let's begin." Chen Feng nodded.
Jack immediately ordered a group of soldiers to start moving things out of the warship. These were pre-assembled houses and various large pieces of equipment.
Having agreed to the Sacred Tree's request to find a place for the Moro tribe to settle down, Chen Feng naturally notified Lin Wei long ago, instructing them to prepare the necessary equipment and housing.
These facilities and buildings were prepared according to the regulations for space cities.
It only takes a lot of time to build a large survival base.
The Moro tribe doesn't have a large population right now, so there's no need to prepare too many houses. They can continue to expand as the tribe's population grows in the future.
Seeing this, a group of Moro people joined Jack and the others in assembling the house.
Before they arrived, they all knew that Chen Feng planned to release them and let them settle down.
This made many Moro people extremely happy; they never wanted to experience that life of being treated as blood slaves again.
Chen Feng then looked at the sacred tree and said:
"I have some things to take care of first, I'll come back later to help you heal."
Upon hearing this, the sacred tree shook its branches and said, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work. With my clansmen around, my injuries will heal slowly."
Chen Feng didn't say anything more. After giving Jack some instructions, he left with Lin Wei.
Inside the warship.
Harvey and the others were sitting in the conference room. They had come to the conference room after receiving a notification from Chen Feng.
Everyone looked very downcast at that moment.
They came to see the sacred tree, but were sent back to the warship after only one glance. No wonder they were in a bad mood.
Just then, Chen Feng and Lin Wei walked into the conference room.
Upon seeing Chen Feng and Lin Wei walk in, Harvey and the others regained their composure and began to greet them.
"Professor Chen!"
"Professor Lin!"
Chen Feng glanced at Harvey and the others, and naturally knew what they were thinking.
He sat in the main seat and looked at everyone, saying:
"I have gathered everyone here today to announce something."
Everyone looked at Chen Feng, waiting for him to say something next.
Chen Feng continued:
"I recently visited a galaxy two thousand light-years away."
As soon as he said that, Harvey and the others sat up straight, and Tosen couldn't help but speak up:
"Two thousand light-years? How did you get there? Professor Chen, you're not kidding."
"Torsen, don't interrupt Professor Chen," Harvey reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Tuo Sen immediately shut his mouth.
Chen Feng then recounted his general experience of traveling to the Black Rock Civilization.
After hearing Chen Feng's words, not only Harvey and the others, but even Lin Wei showed a look of shock in her eyes.
Chen Feng's experience can be described as an interstellar adventure.
In particular, Chen Feng's mention of the Black Rock Civilization and the Vika Civilization gave them a feeling of opening up a new world.
Another point is the interstellar portal Chen Feng mentioned, which can actually span thousands of light-years. What level of technology would be required to achieve that?
"Professor Chen, do you know the principle behind that stargate?"
"Have the people of the Crimson Cloud Empire truly mastered the technology of spacetime?"
"."
People kept asking Chen Feng questions, and even Harvey couldn't help but speak up at this moment, even though he had just told Tuosen not to interrupt Chen Feng.
Seeing the constant noise in the arena, Chen Feng tapped the table, and an invisible force spread out in the arena.
This invisible force instantly calmed the excited emotions of everyone present.
"Don't ask any more questions. I recorded the entire trip with my equipment, and you can watch it later. In addition, I also obtained some technical data and resources from the Black Rock Civilization. These are what you need to study right now."
Chen Feng took out several USB drives.
Upon seeing this, Lin Wei immediately took the USB drive and plugged it into the computer next to her. Soon, a large amount of technical information appeared on the conference room's large screen.
These technical documents were what Chen Feng had Shi Tian exchange for from the Black Rock Civilization.
"Dyson cloud structure foundation, lossless energy transmission technology, propellantless curvature engine, fundamental dark matter theory, warp drive armor for individual soldiers."
Harvey trembled as he read the technology on the screen.
Although they only saw the names of these technologies and did not see the specific details, it was enough to excite Harvey and the others.
These are technologies that don't exist on Earth; they are truly alien technologies.
Although many countries on Earth believe that their Xingfeng Group has mastered alien technology.
But in fact, all along, Xingfeng Group's technology has been developed by them and has nothing to do with aliens.
But the technologies that are appearing now are the real alien technologies.
Lin Wei, who was standing next to her, was also attracted by the technology names on the screen and couldn't take her eyes off them.
Seeing the murderous glares from the researchers below, Chen Feng coughed a few times and said:
"In addition to these technologies, I have also brought a batch of resources with me. You can all take them down and study them. Moreover, I have already reached a cooperation agreement with the Black Rock Civilization. In the future, there will be a continuous stream of high-end materials and technologies sent over. I hope you can make good use of this knowledge and materials to improve our current technology."
Chen Feng went to great lengths to disguise himself as an executive officer of the Crimson Cloud Empire, all for those technologies.
Moreover, he was certain that his disguise wouldn't last long and that the Empire would eventually discover it.
What we can do now is to get Lin Wei and the others to absorb this information within the limited time available, so as to rapidly improve Earth's technology.
He didn't expect Earth's technology to be as advanced as that of the Crimson Cloud Empire. After all, the Crimson Cloud Empire had developed for countless millennia, and even if Earth used some kind of cheat code to catch up, it wouldn't be able to catch up in a short time.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, the crowd snapped out of their excitement, and Tuo Sen immediately stood up and said:
"Please rest assured, Professor Chen, we will absorb this knowledge in the shortest possible time and will definitely not let you down!"
Harvey and the other researchers then stood up as well.
"That's right, we will definitely not let Professor Chen down!"
The excitement had faded from everyone's faces; only seriousness remained.
Although Chen Feng only briefly mentioned his experiences outside, they could sense that he had gone through a lot of danger.
The terror of the Crimson Cloud Empire far exceeded their imagination.
Chen Feng took a huge risk, disguising his identity to go to the Crimson Cloud Empire to obtain this knowledge and hand it over to them, so they naturally had to show their appreciation.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction:
"I believe you can do it."
After finishing his conversation with Harvey and the others, Chen Feng and Lin Wei left the conference room. Once outside, Lin Wei said worriedly:
"You're taking too much of a risk."
Compared to Harvey and the others, Lin Wei was more worried about Chen Feng's safety.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident."
Seeing the smile on Chen Feng's face, Lin Wei sighed: "You're always like this. You talk about things that are clearly dangerous as if they're nothing."
Chen Feng spoke with a serious expression:
"The Orion Arm is neither too big nor too small. Sooner or later, Earth's civilization will leave the solar system and come into contact with the Crimson Cloud Empire. Therefore, we must prepare in advance and accumulate sufficient strength."
Lin Wei grasped Chen Feng's hand.
"I know, I understand what you're saying, but I hope you can think more about yourself. Promise me that if you really encounter a problem that you can't solve, you can give up everything, as long as you're alive."
Looking at Lin Wei's earnest eyes, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel touched. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Seeing that Chen Feng agreed, Lin Wei finally smiled again.
Chen Feng then asked:
"By the way, how's the situation on Earth lately?"
Lin Wei smiled and said, "Everything is fine. With our help, all countries are developing their technology very quickly, especially China. Its technological level has now surpassed that of other countries, and it has also established a space force. I plan to provide them with another batch of space carriers in a while."
"Mm." Chen Feng nodded.
It's certain that they'll give their own country some preferential treatment. Space carriers are no longer of much value to Xingfeng Group, which is already upgrading its warships.
Soon all warships will be upgraded to antimatter warships. The remaining space carriers won't fetch much money even if sold in the cultivation world, so it's better to give them to the country.
"There is also the number of cultivators and martial artists. Currently, there are more than 400,000 registered cultivators and martial artists around the world. Martial artists account for 70% of the total, while cultivators are relatively few. The fastest cultivators have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage."
The cultivators Lin Wei was referring to naturally did not include those from Xingfeng Group, but rather cultivators from various countries around the world.
Spiritual veins are now appearing all over the world, and the Xingfeng Group recently released its cultivation techniques, which has sparked a wave of cultivation craze on Earth.
However, since the spiritual energy revival has only just begun, there are still very few people with the aptitude for cultivation, and the majority are newborns.
However, the strength and number of martial artists have increased significantly. Many countries now have martial artists at the Transcendent Realm level, but martial artists at the Origin and Martial Immortal levels are very rare, with only one or two in some major countries.
This martial artist's strength is already comparable to some high-level immortal cultivators; this is the martial arts that Chen Feng brought from the Xuanhuang Realm.
After learning that everything was normal on Earth, Chen Feng bid farewell to Lin Wei and returned to Mars to heal the Sacred Tree.
He planned to return to the world of the painting to cultivate after healing the sacred tree.
Earth, Dragon Kingdom, Mountain City.
At this moment, inside a martial arts school in the mountain city, more than a dozen ordinary people are undergoing qualification tests.
There are many martial arts schools like this all over the country. Nowadays, in China, the training of martial artists also depends on talent. Some ordinary people who want to become martial artists have to join a martial arts school to learn martial arts for a month and then take a test to assess their aptitude.
Only those who meet the talent requirements can receive free cultivation resources provided by the state.
If you lack talent, you'll have to spend money to buy resources.
"Zhang Hong, physical fitness level 5, meets the standard!"
In front of the martial arts school's testing equipment, a dozen young people who had just started learning martial arts last month were lining up to take tests.
After a month of study at the martial arts school, the school will test the students.
Only those who pass the physical test at level four or above are considered qualified; the average person's physical fitness level is only around level three.
If it's below level four, then you'll basically have to be eliminated.
After all, the country only has so many free resources, it's impossible to make the entire population learn martial arts.
The test used a special scanning device, which was developed by the Dragon Kingdom to test physical fitness.
Among the crowd, a thin young man appeared extremely nervous.
His name is Lu Chen, and he is now twenty-two years old. At this age, he is neither too bad nor too good to start a martial arts career.
Lu Chen's family was not well-off. His parents died early, and he was raised by his grandparents from a young age.
In the past, the lives of ordinary people in Longguo had not improved. As a child from a rural area, Lu Chen only went to junior high school before dropping out. Although he had been working outside for the past few years, he had managed to save some money.
I came here to learn martial arts because I wanted to try my luck in the future.
"It must pass!" Lu Chen prayed silently.
Soon, the martial arts instructor's voice came over: "Lu Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen nervously walked to the testing instrument. He dared not open his eyes to see the results and could only pray silently.
Soon, the martial arts instructor's voice rang out: "Lu Chen, physical fitness level 3.3, unqualified!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's face instantly turned pale.
A murmur of discussion arose from the surrounding area.
"A physical fitness level of 3.3 is even worse than that of an average person."
"He's been practicing martial arts for a month, and he hasn't improved at all. This person's talent is just too poor."
"People like this shouldn't even think about practicing martial arts; it's a complete waste of resources."
"."
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Lu Chen's face turned pale and then red, and he quickly ran out.
The martial arts instructor shook his head upon seeing this.
He had seen too many students like this. Since the emergence of martial arts, many ordinary people have wanted to learn martial arts, but not everyone is suited to learning martial arts.
After running out of the martial arts gym, Lu Chen looked at the cars constantly passing by on the street, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes.
He had promised his grandfather before he came that he would definitely pass the test.
In this situation, how can he go back and tell his grandfather?
"Why! Why are you doing this to me? In such a great era, why am I being eliminated!"
Lu Chen's face showed hatred; he hated the injustice of this world.
Why should those with talent receive national training while he doesn't? Why should the wealthy receive cultivation resources even without taking the exam?
The more she thought about Lu Chen, the more she hated him.
Lu Chen didn't notice that the spacetime above his head suddenly distorted.
Immediately afterwards, a voice rang in Lu Chen's mind: "Kid, do you want to become stronger?"
The voice was seductive, like the whisper of a demon.
Lu Chen was startled and immediately looked around.
However, there was no one else around him. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said sharply, "You're a cultivator? What do you want to do!"
The Dragon Kingdom has long popularized the knowledge of cultivators, and there are laws stipulating that cultivators cannot use magic to deal with ordinary people without authorization.
Even large cities like Shancheng have official cultivators stationed there.
Any cultivator who violates the law will be arrested.
Therefore, Lu Chen was not too alarmed by the voice that appeared in his mind; he was only angry.
The voice said coldly, "Cultivators? What kind of trash are they? Just tell me, do you want to become stronger?" (End of Chapter)
