Myriad Worlds Drifting Bottle

The silver-haired beauty was a little distracted, but she promptly refocused.

"No."

"Earth's resources might be sufficient, but we do not represent the entire Earth. Many resources cannot be acquired in large quantities. Moreover, only part of the technology in my mind has been restored. Restoring these incomplete technologies would probably take a very long time."

"Then, how many mechs and spaceships can we build in nine months?"

"As for mechs, we can produce around nine units across three types. As for spaceships, including the ones we already have, we can have four Explorer-class spaceships. As for frigates, battleships, and the like, we do not have the conditions to build them."

"By that calculation, we would be equivalent to a small space exploration team from a low-to-mid-level spacefaring civilization."

Hexi said this unconsciously.

Han Fei neither questioned nor pressed further. After listening, he simply asked, "What about on the ground?"

"We possess the strength to contend with a low-to-mid-level spacefaring civilization, provided they do not use weapons above the nuclear level."

"And we must hold a dominant position on Earth."

"Relying on just a small area is not enough."

"Resources, population, production lines, scientists..."

"If there is no turning point during the war..."

"There is a high chance that we will be defeated and perish."

The beautiful silver-haired woman spoke such cold words.

Han Fei nodded in understanding.

Just as he had expected.

How should he put it?

What Hexi said was the most likely outcome under normal circumstances.

Unfortunately.

Earth was no ordinary planet.

Nor was its civilization an ordinary civilization.

Especially now that it had him.

A New Agreement Regarding Zhao Xin and the Two of Them

With angels, Xiong Bing Lian, and him, Earth would not fall so easily. Still, many people would die. So many.

He only hoped that his arrival would mean fewer deaths.

"Hexi, I think it is time to show you some things."

After pondering for a moment, Han Fei spoke.

Hexi showed little change in expression and merely nodded calmly.

Then.

Han Fei took Hexi to a laboratory.

He made the Blood Orchid Gene Potion available for research.

Hexi did not feel anything at all about Han Fei keeping certain things from her.

Looking at the exquisite crimson potion.

As well as the stacks of research reports.

She merely revealed a surprised expression.

"Han Fei, this gene potion is rather special. Its main purpose should be to break through a species' limits. It can enhance a certain racial trait of the user."

"Moreover, it has a good effect on life itself."

"If it can be improved, it should become an excellent foundational potion for civilization."

"Based on a rough estimate, after it is perfected, Earth humans should be able to reach a baseline lifespan of one hundred and fifty years each, while those with greater potential could reach three hundred years."

After handling the potion for a while, Hexi gave this answer.

The researchers beside her were utterly dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me? .jpg

The researchers' mouths twitched. They dearly wanted to argue, but unfortunately, they did not have the courage.

As expected of Hexi.

Han Fei could not help thinking this, without the slightest doubt in this regard.

Even an incomplete version could easily accomplish what humanity's elite could not.

After leaving the laboratory and getting into the car.

"All right, it is not just these. There are other things I will hand over to you as well. They are all important, a crucial part of the civilization's legacy I obtained. I hope you can produce even more results through your research."

Hexi made no promises, only nodded solemnly.

Her eyes were calm and placid.

"He seems... somewhat anxious..."

Holding the microscope, Hexi found herself thinking this unconsciously.

Her hands moved a little faster.

Afterward, Han Fei handed over to Hexi the few things that did not conform to science—things utterly out of place in the Godly Superpower Universe, such as wands and secret arts.

For her research.

Afternoon.

As expected.

Han Fei received an invitation.

It was another private room.

There were few people here, and it was guarded layer upon layer. The place had been checked over once already.

This meeting was somewhat different from the previous ones.

At the table.

Han Fei rested his hands together.

He watched Dukao across from him with the profound expression of Commander Ikari.

Meanwhile, Dukao wore a stern, deadpan face.

There was none of the cordiality from their previous meetings.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Han Fei, as the heir to a civilization, I believe you should understand what that thing in the sky is."

"..."

Han Fei did not answer. He merely blinked and continued looking at him.

"An alien civilization will likely launch an invasion of Earth before long. In such a situation, a pre-nuclear civilization generally has no ability to resist a spacefaring civilization. When that happens, Earth will be destroyed, civilization will perish, and everything will disappear."

Dukao spoke in an utterly certain, oath-like tone.

As though he had already experienced it countless times.

Yet Han Fei.

Still said nothing.

But his expression told Dukao that he understood.

Dukao's expression did not change much. "Fortunately."

He changed the subject.

"We still have a chance."

"Super Genes. Every Super Soldier is a powerful combat asset. As long as they reach the Second Generation Super Soldier level, and we carry out decapitation tactics, believe me, I can repel ordinary low-level spacefaring civilizations. Even against mid- to high-level ones, I am confident that I can contend with them!"

"To win Earth a sliver of hope!"

"..."

You really can talk big. I can believe the low-level part, since you used to be a war maniac; but mid- to high-level? Once they use weapons beyond nuclear level and hit you from outer space—or even from half a galaxy away—what are you going to use to withstand it without Third Generation Super Soldiers, without entering the spacefaring era, and without being able to mobilize the power of the entire planet?!

This was a gap in hard power!

Han Fei thought silently.

"Mr. Dukao, do you take me for some student who has never entered society? Or are you underestimating a civilization heir who built everything from scratch?"

Han Fei finally spoke. His tone was calm, yet he directly questioned Dukao.

Dukao's expression remained unchanged. Not only was he not angry, he even seemed faintly approving.

"Very good. It seems your understanding is not confined to this planet. Then we can discuss the matter of Super Genes."

"Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang are both crucial combat assets for the future. I need to retrieve them."

Han Fei directly shook his head.

"Impossible."

"They are my friends, my beloved family."

Dukao finally frowned.

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

His tone suddenly turned severe.

Han Fei watched his rage with an expressionless face.

"Drop the act."

"The invasion is already a foregone conclusion. There's no need to keep pulling this kind of stunt, is there? Let's all be honest. Otherwise, if we tear things apart, no one will come out well."

Dukao's gaze flickered uncertainly.

In truth, he had trump cards. If it were Sun Wukong, he should have been able to suppress the other side. But that was impossible—Sun Wukong had recently reported discovering some hidden dangers and had no time to spare.

As for his other methods, none of them were guaranteed to deal with the other side.

When he thought of the armies they had already developed, their rapidly advancing technologies, and the projects they had cooperated on with this side, Dukao knew that he seemingly had no choice.

But...

The Nuo Xing War God...

Across from him, Han Fei had already begun speaking eloquently, his eyes sharp and his words precise.

Every sentence made perfect sense.

"Setting aside my feelings for them, I have no right to make decisions on my own. Let's talk about our previous agreement. The fifty years aren't up yet. Then there are the resources I've spent these past few years, as well as the secrets of mine they know. What do you have to say about all that?"

"There's no deal like that in the world, and no such logic either, right? Or are you planning to force the issue?"

Dukao fell silent.

This was different from what he had expected.

Still, there was room to negotiate.

"You can't develop their power, nor can you afford the resources needed for them to grow. We have technology suited to their development."
