" Great Xia Ground Command Center, this is the Kuafu One Starship."
"I have entered the final pre-launch standby state."
"All systems are functioning normally, awaiting ignition command."
Zhu Chenhai's calm voice came through the communicator.
He was the number one in the Great Xia and also the first captain of the Starship.
At this moment, he stands at the forefront of history.
Behind him, inside the massive bridge command center.
Dozens of cultivators dressed in specially made psionic combat suits were busy with their own tasks.
On the silver-gray bulkhead, rune arrays flickered, and data light curtains intertwined.
Outside the porthole is the launch base of the Blue Star.
The starship he controls is the most advanced product of the current integration of human cultivation and technology.
It's the most amazing Spirit Machinery technology!
Its name is Kuafu One, and its hull is 3,200 meters long.
It is the first starship in human history built specifically for deep space cultivation and exploration.
The ship has a streamlined shape.
The surface is covered with layers upon layers of defensive runes.
At the bow, the muzzle of a Tier 5 main gun was slightly raised.
A pale blue aura of energy slowly rotated around it.
The ship has six decks.
The bottom layer contains Spiritual Energy Fusion Furnace and a supply depot.
The middle floor houses the living quarters and research laboratories.
The upper level is the combat command center, where Zhu Chenhai's captain, occupies his seat.
There is a row of light screens on each side, displaying the data status of various parts of the ship in real time.
As his voice fell, a slightly excited response echoed throughout the cabin.
" Kuafu One, this is ground control."
"Current weather conditions are favorable, and the psionic environment is stable."
"Your ship has been cleared to enter the launch countdown."
"Repeat! Your ship has been cleared to enter the launch countdown."
Zhu Chenhai took a deep breath and glanced at everyone in the cabin.
"Attention all units, launch countdown begins."
"The energy team confirms that the fusion reactor is operating at full power and the psionic energy reserve is at 100%."
"The navigation team has confirmed that the flight path has been locked, targeting Mars orbit, with an estimated flight time of 2232 hours."
"The operations team confirms that all shipborne Spirit Machinery are ready for deployment, and the protective shields are fully charged."
Confirmation calls came from all directions.
This foreshadows the imminent voyage of this colossal vessel.
Zhu Chenhai nodded slightly.
A finger lightly touches the main control screen in front of me.
"Countdown begins."
Ground level, Great Xia Jing City.
Command center of Bureau 749.
On the giant light screen, the holographic image of Kuafu One floated silently.
Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Behind him, the governors of the twelve districts held their breath, and no one spoke.
In the far distance, the entire Blue Star was watching this moment.
Beautiful Region, Times Square.
On the giant screen, the live feed of Kuafu One and the countdown numbers flashed alternately.
The square was packed with people.
Someone was holding up a banner that read "Great Xia Mighty".
Someone was holding a homemade miniature model of a French warship.
The children rode on their father's shoulders, their eyes glued to the screen.
"Mommy, where is Kuafu One going?" a little girl asked, looking up.
"To Mars," the mother replied softly, "To find new hope for humanity."
Kangaroo Region, Sydney.
An open-air screen next to the Harbour Bridge.
The countdown has reached its final sixty seconds.
A group of young people sat together, holding beer in their hands, but their eyes were all glued to the screen.
Do you think there might be Demon Beast on Mars?
A young man with curly hair suddenly spoke up.
What's there to be afraid of if there are Demon Beast?
A girl wearing glasses next to him rolled her eyes at him.
"Our ship has a Tier 5 main cannon. One shot, and even the most Demon Beast will kneel down and call us 'daddy.'"
"How can someone who does biological research speak so violently?"
"That's called professional confidence."
Euro Region, London.
On the banks of the ancient River Thames, a crowd stood in silence before a giant, temporary screen.
An elderly monk with white hair leaned on a cane.
Looking up at the giant silver-white ship on the screen, her eyes were slightly red.
"More than a hundred years,"
He muttered to himself.
"More than a hundred years ago, we were still in a state of panic and confusion regarding the resurgence of Spiritual Qi."
"Now, our cultivation fleet is about to leave Blue Star."
Although this is not the first time humanity has ventured into outer space.
However, this marks the first time since humanity embarked on the path of cultivation that someone has ventured into space as a cultivator.
Furthermore, the first human extraterrestrial training base will be built on a planet 225 million kilometers away.
This is of great significance to all of humanity.
After today, the history of humankind on Blue Star will be divided in two.
Historical records will state that in the 186th year of the Spirit Transformation Calendar, the Great Xia People's Republic officially became a true interstellar cultivation civilization!
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The countdown has begun.
It's unclear who started shouting first, but soon the entire launch site was echoing the cry.
Countless people looked up at the light screen projected in the air.
The countdown numbers ticked in the night.
"Seven, six, five..."
"Four, three, two..."
Li Qingshan pursed his lips.
Behind him, all the researchers clenched their fists instinctively, their knuckles turning white.
They all understood that this was no ordinary rocket launch.
It's a true voyage into the stars.
It carries the hopes of a nation and a planet.
"One."
" Kuafu One, ignition."
When Zhu Chenhai's voice came through the communicator,
At the massive stern of the ship, twelve Spiritual Energy Fusion Furnace ignited simultaneously.
A jet of blazing white flame shot out.
It's not the orange-red of ordinary chemical fuels, but the unique ghostly blue of psionic energy after combustion.
Like the light of the deep sea, like the flame of the polar regions!
"Boom!!"
The earth began to tremble, and the clouds were torn apart.
Kuafu One slowly ascended into the sky under the watchful eyes of the entire Blue Star.
The runes on the ship's surface lit up one by one.
Aura and flames intertwined, illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime.
The silver-white hull pierced the atmosphere.
Trailing a long, luminous tail, it resembled a silver dragon soaring against the heavens.
Inside the command center, the suppressed breathing that had been building up for so long finally resumed.
The crowd began to cheer and celebrate.
Li Qingshan's voice remained calm and steady.
" Kuafu One, this is ground control."
You're on track now, wishing you a safe journey.
"Ground control, Kuafu One received."
Zhu Chenhai's response carried a hint of something unusual.
Because of a figure that shouldn't have been on this French warship.
She was standing behind him, looking around with a face full of curiosity.
They seemed extremely curious about this state of weightlessness.
Thinking of the identity of the person behind him, Zhu Chenhai couldn't help but rub his forehead, looking quite helpless...
Meanwhile, inside the command center.
Just as Li Qingshan was about to rest after watching the Starship sail smoothly, he realized that the Starship was making good progress.
The fish-shaped jade pendant in the center of the hall suddenly began to glow slightly.
"Buzz~!"
The familiar light shone.
This means that Lu Li a message to the Great Xia.
Upon seeing this, Li Qingshan seemed to suddenly realize something.
He paused somewhat awkwardly, then turned back and picked up the audio transmission device.
Before Lu Li speak, he spoke first.
"Um... Comrade Lu Li, you've come at the right time. There's something I need to tell you."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Your father... has been born on a star."
What star?
" Blue Star!"
