Chapter 997: Countdown to the Final Battle (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
This banquet lasted for a few hours. Su Guowei and the others drank heartily, as if they had temporarily forgotten all their worries.
As Xu Jiajia and the rest were already seven months pregnant, Su Yun led them to rest before the banquet ended. After settling the few of them down, Su Yun came to the backyard alone. He looked up in melancholy and looked at the vast starry sky above him. He was filled with emotions.
Now, he had his own big family and his own flesh and blood. These things had once been Su Yun’s dream, but now, they were realized one by one. On the other hand, this was also a huge responsibility for Su Yun. As long as the crisis on Earth was not over, he would not be able to truly feel at ease.
Su Yun heard steady footsteps. After releasing his supernatural aura, he immediately knew that the person was Zhao Guofeng. Zhao Guofeng came in front of Su Yun and handed a folder to him. “Dao Ancestor, you have your own children. We are sincerely happy for you. It’s not just because of the genetic inheritance plan. In two to three months, the child would be born. The gender had basically been confirmed. There were three boys and a girl.
“According to the genetic data we have gathered so far, these four children have great potential. Therefore, many elite scholars are waiting for the day the children are born to carry out a more detailed examination for them.”
When he said this, Zhao Guofeng could not hide his excitement. After all, this was a matter that concerned the future of humanity. Although the child had not been born, it had already been highly valued by the higher-ups of the country.
Su Yun was also a little surprised by this. Although he had thought of the rationality of the existence of genetic inheritance, he did not expect that the child would already be genetically special before it was born.
In this way, didn’t this mean that the children’s future would be even more limitless than the current humans? They might very well break the limits of humankind and reach an unprecedented new height.
Su Yun opened the file and took out a few documents. He looked at them in detail and noted many genetic information on them. The genes of these four children were already clearly different from the current humans. Not only were their overall strength relatively stronger, but even their lifespan would increase.
This was only a vague estimate. After the child was born, it might bring even more unbelievable results after a more detailed test. This made Su Yun, as a father, feel very proud. Earth had a successor. These children would take the baton in his hand and lead humanity towards a new future.
After Zhao Guofeng left, Su Yun sat in the courtyard for a long time. Every scene he experienced kept appearing in his mind. This peace was not easy to come by. He did not know how long it could last. The enemies of Earth might already be on their way, and everyone would have to fight to the death. His children were destined to be born in the darkness before dawn, but because of that, they would also bring new hope and light.
…
In the Capital Aerospace Academy, an ear-piercing alarm broke the silence of the night. All the lights in the central control center flickered with red light. All the scientists on duty rushed into the central control room. They all knew the significance of the light. This was the highest-level air defense alarm.
In recent reforms, the Air Defense Alert has been used primarily to respond to cosmic crises.
“It’s here.” As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Keqi looked at the big screen solemnly. The enhanced Sky Brain satellite had already increased its detection range by 300 times compared to before.
Just now, the Sky Brain Satellite had already detected the existence of unidentified flying objects in the universe. However, the relevant signal only appeared for a few seconds before quickly disappearing.
Zhang Keqi frowned solemnly and turned to look at all the researchers. “The Sky Brain Satellite must have detected the alien battleship, but after the other party detected the detection signal, they immediately activated the signal shield. It is obvious that they no longer let their guard down after the previous failure. In this way, we will fall into a passive state. Perhaps one day, an alien battleship will appear in the sky above Earth without us noticing.”
This was an unavoidable constraint for Earth. In the face of a huge technological difference, it was impossible for Earth to be evenly matched with alien civilizations in terms of technology. This meant that if the alien civilization was unwilling to be discovered, unless they were right under their noses, Earth could not carry out any effective detection of the alien warships.
This was the current situation. The alien civilization had activated the technology to block signals. The Sky Brain satellite no longer had any detection function. Earth had completely become blind.
Zhang Keqi gave an emergency order and quickly located the signal that the other party had just detected. As expected, the signal of the battleship appeared at the limit of the Sky Brain Satellite’s detection range.
From this analysis, the main force of the alien civilization had already moved out. Currently, they are only two small galaxies away from the Milky Way. Although he did not know the speed of the alien battleship, from his previous experience, he could tell that in at most seven years, this destined catastrophe would descend on Earth.
With the documents, Zhang Keqi came to Feng Jiwen’s office overnight. Feng Jiwen himself did not know how many days he had been fighting at night. Looking at the document handed over by Zhang Keqi, Feng Jiwen’s expression became solemn. He looked up and said in disbelief, “Is that all we have left?”
The development of a planet in seven years could be said to be negligible. No matter how innovative technology was in these seven years, it was impossible to change the era.
Zhang Keqi sighed and nodded heavily. “Chief, although I’m unwilling to accept it, I’m afraid that’s the truth. We have to prepare for the worst. Other than cultivators, seven years will not be of any use to other aspects. I think it’s time to start the underground city project.”
The underground city project that Zhang Keqi was talking about was the asylum plan proposed after medical discussion at the joint meeting of the various countries not long ago. Because at that time, once a disaster descended on Earth, other than cultivators, no one would be able to participate in such a battle.
For the safety of the people, Great Xia took the initiative to propose the underground city plan, and this plan received the support of the various countries in a short period of time.
The plan was very simple. It was to build a huge underground city. All the civilians went underground to live when the battle arrived. This way, not only could they retain the fire of humanity, but more importantly, they could also retain the power to repair the Earth’s environment.
Feng Jiwen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Not long after, he held another emergency joint meeting to announce this important news to the heads of state.
In seven years, instead of focusing on technology that could not improve much, it was better to use it to perfect the underground city plan and let all the civilians go underground so that they could effectively take refuge.
Of course, the prerequisite for this kind of refuge was that it had to be based on the final victory of the battle. Otherwise, it would be the day of the extinction of humanity. The leaders and citizens of the various countries looked at each other. They had expected this day to come, but it was a little too sudden.
That night, the various countries followed Great Xia’s deployment and activated the underground city plan.
Great Xia had actually been working hard for this day for a long time. They had perfected the construction blueprint of the underground city, so after the order was given, everything unfolded very smoothly.
Earth entered the final countdown again. This time, it was seven years. No one knew what the outcome of humanity would be seven years later. At least before that day arrived, everyone would spare no effort to fight for more hope for human survival.
