The silver-haired beauty was a bit distracted but managed to refocus her attention in time.
"No."
"Earth's resources might be sufficient on their own, but we don't represent the entire planet. Many resources are difficult to obtain in large quantities. Furthermore, the technology in my mind has only been partially recovered. To restore this incomplete technology will likely take a very long time."
"So, with the current Mecha and spaceships, how many can be built in nine months?"
"For Mecha, we can produce about nine units across three types. As for spaceships, including the current ones, we can have four Explorer-class ships. We don't have the conditions for frigates, battleships, and so on."
"So, in total, that's equivalent to a space exploration team from a low-to-mid-tier interstellar civilization."
Hexi said subconsciously.
Han Fei didn't question or probe further. After listening, he asked, "What about on the surface?"
"We possess the strength to contend with low-to-mid-tier interstellar civilizations, provided they don't use weapons above nuclear level."
"And, we must hold the dominant position on Earth."
"Just a small area isn't enough."
"Resources, population, production lines, scientists..."
"If there are no turning points in the war."
"There's a high probability we will be annihilated."
The beautiful silver-haired woman uttered such cold words.
Han Fei nodded in understanding.
It was as he had expected.
How to put it.
Hexi's words represented the most likely outcome under normal circumstances.
Unfortunately.
Earth was no normal planet.
And its civilization was no normal civilization.
Especially with him around.
Chapter 35: A New Agreement Regarding Zhao Xin and Another
With Angels, with Xiong Bing Lian, and with him, Earth wouldn't be annihilated so easily. However, many, many people would die.
He could only hope that his trip here could save some lives.
"Hexi, I think it's time I showed you some things."
After a moment of thought, Han Fei said.
Hexi's expression didn't change much; she simply nodded calmly.
Then.
Han Fei took Hexi to a certain laboratory.
He made the Blood Orchid Gene Potion accessible.
Hexi felt nothing about Han Fei's somewhat secretive actions.
Looking at the blood-red, magnificent potion.
And the research reports.
She merely showed surprise.
"Han Fei, this Gene Potion is quite special. Its primary purpose should be for racial limit breakthroughs, capable of enhancing a user's specific racial trait."
"Moreover, it has good effects on life."
"If improved, it could become an excellent foundational civilization potion."
"A rough prediction: after refinement, humans on Earth could expect an average base lifespan of 150 years, with some reaching 300 years."
After examining the potion for a while, Hexi provided this answer.
The nearby researchers looked utterly bewildered.
Are you kidding me?
The researchers' mouths twitched. They wanted to retort, but they didn't dare.
As expected of Hexi.
Han Fei thought involuntarily. In this area, she showed no hesitation.
Even with an incomplete version, she could easily achieve what human elites could not.
Leaving the laboratory, they got into a car.
"Alright, it's not just these. I'll be entrusting you with some other things as well. These are very important; they are a significant part of the civilization legacy I've acquired. I hope you can achieve more results from your research."
Hexi made no promises but nodded seriously.
Her eyes were calm and serene.
"He seems... a little anxious..."
Holding the microscope, Hexi thought unconsciously.
Her movements quickened slightly.
Next, Han Fei handed over anything that didn't conform to science, such as magic wands and Secret Techniques, which were out of place in the Super God Universe, to Hexi.
For her to research.
Afternoon.
As expected.
Han Fei received an invitation.
It was to a private room again.
It was a place with few people, heavily guarded, and had been searched.
It was different from their previous meetings.
At the table.
Han Fei rested his hands on his chin.
He looked at Dukao opposite him with the profound demeanor of Commander Ikari.
Dukao, on the other hand, wore a stern, deathly serious expression.
He was nowhere near as amiable as he had been in their previous meetings.
The atmosphere was tense.
"Han Fei, as an inheritor of a civilization, I believe you should understand what that thing in the sky is about."
"..."
Han Fei didn't answer, merely blinked and continued to look at him.
"Alien civilizations will likely launch an invasion of Earth soon, and in such a situation, the pre-nuclear era is usually powerless against spacefaring civilizations. Earth will be destroyed, civilization will perish, and everything will disappear."
Dukao spoke with a confident, utterly certain tone.
As if he had already experienced it countless times.
And Han Fei.
Still said nothing.
But his expression told Dukao that he knew.
Dukao's expression didn't change much. "Fortunately."
He changed the subject.
"We still have a chance."
"Super Genes, every super soldier is a powerful fighting force. As long as they reach the second generation of super soldiers and carry out decapitation tactics, believe me, I can repel ordinary low-level spacefaring civilizations. Even against mid-to-high-level ones, I have the confidence to contend with them!"
"To win a sliver of hope for Earth!"
"..."
He could really brag. I'd believe him about low-level ones, after all, you were a warmonger back in the day;
But mid-to-high-level? Once they use weapons beyond nuclear, they can launch an attack directly from outer space, or even from halfway across the galaxy. Without third-generation super soldiers, without entering the spacefaring era, and without being able to mobilize global forces, what could you possibly use to resist?!
This is a gap in hard power!
Han Fei thought silently.
"Mr. Dukao, do you see me as a student who hasn't entered society yet? Or are you looking down on a civilization inheritor who started from scratch?"
Han Fei finally spoke. His tone was calm, but he directly questioned Dukao.
Dukao's expression remained unchanged. Not only was he not angry, but he even showed a hint of admiration.
"Very good. It seems your understanding isn't limited to your planet. Then, we can talk about the Super Genes."
"Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang are both crucial fighting forces in 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're doing?!"
His tone suddenly became stern.
Han Fei looked at his outburst with a blank expression.
"Stop pretending."
"The invasion is a done deal, there's no need for this kind of charade. Let's all be upfront. If we end up showing our teeth, it won't be good for anyone."
Dukao's eyes flickered uncertainly.
Actually, he had a trump card. If it were Wukong, he could probably suppress the opponent. But no, Wukong had recently reported some hidden dangers and didn't have time right now.
As for other methods, they might not be enough to deal with the opponent.
He thought of their developed armies and their burgeoning technology.
And also the joint projects they had with this side.
Dukao knew he seemed to have no choice.
But still...
The Nuo Star God of War...
Meanwhile, Han Fei had already begun to speak eloquently, his eyes sharp and his words precise.
Every sentence made sense.
"Setting aside my personal feelings for them, which prevent me from acting on my own accord; let's talk about our previous agreement. Fifty years aren't up yet. Plus, the resources I've spent these past few years, and the secrets they know about me – what do you say about all that?"
"There's no such deal in the world, nor is this reasonable. Or are you planning to use force?"
Dukao fell silent.
This wasn't quite what he had expected.
However, there was still room for negotiation.
"You can't develop their power, nor can you afford the resources for them to grow. You don't have the technology suitable for their growth."
