Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 276: Feelings Begin to Sprout

Four or five minutes later, the three human Arbiters' topological manifold orbs, red, green, and blue, finally calmed down. The shapes of the three Arbiters' manifold orbs kept changing, concave and convex. Zhou Yuan guessed that the three Arbiters were communicating with each other without making a sound, but just looking at Lefia. Zhou Yuan noticed that there was something strange in Lefia's gaze. The two looked at each other, and Zhou Yuan smiled slightly at Lefia.

Thirteen or fourteen minutes later, the red manifold light flashed, and Lefia "translated," saying, "Zhou Yuan, your idea is excellent. The three of us have had a preliminary discussion, and the strength of the Intelligence Race in the fifth dimension lies in their information and data flow, that is, information packets. If we adopt the 'dimensional reduction' attack you mentioned, we can indeed reduce the Intelligence Race's information packets geometrically, and our chances of winning will be much greater. Our scientists will immediately begin to develop dimensional reduction attack weapons."

When can the galactic super-droplet be activated?

"Because we need to manufacture a dimensional reduction weapon, and you need to manufacture the consciousness integration and dimensional recombination equipment for us, the timeframe is uncertain. Based on your timeline, our dimensional reduction weapon will probably take about a year, and it will probably take about a year for you as well."

“Alright, then we’ll activate the galactic superbody droplet a year from now. Also, you don’t need to repair the cracks in the six-dimensional space black hole barrier; I need it to expand so that those orbiting galaxies can accelerate the galactic supercube.”

“Okay. We’ll stay in touch. Lefia will handle our communication.”

"it is good."

"Lefia, your main task at present is to be in charge of communication between our human race and Zhou Yuan. We will have our scientists send you the manufacturing plan for the consciousness integration and dimensional recombination device, and then you can pass it on to Zhou Yuan."

"Yes."

"Zhou Yuan, you are remarkable. I hope you can help our human race out of this predicament. Thank you." The red manifold light flashed, followed by flashes of blue and green manifold light.

"You don't need to be so polite, I'm saving myself too."

"Alright. We should go now."

"Then goodbye?" Zhou Yuan hesitated, unsure whether he should say "goodbye".

"Goodbye," Lefia said, also saying "Goodbye."

As soon as Lefia finished speaking, the three topological manifold light orbs—red, green, and blue—gradually faded and disappeared. Lefia then looked at Zhou Yuan with a grin.

"Lefia, why are you looking at me like that?"

"The Arbiter seems to have a good impression of you; I can only be envious."

"I didn't expect that you humans in the fifth dimension also have such a strict hierarchy."

"Without organization, how can they fight against the fifth-dimensional intelligent race?"

"A year? Looks like we have something to do."

When will you be able to provide me with the manufacturing plan for your human race's consciousness integration and dimensional recombination equipment?

"I don't know either, it's up to the scientists to decide. I'll know once they pass it on to me." Lefia chuckled, sticking her tongue out at Zhou Yuan, who grinned back, deliberately making a funny face. Because of Lefia's presence, Zhou Yuan wasn't feeling lonely.

Five days later, Lefia told Zhou Yuan about the manufacturing plan and technology for the consciousness integration and dimensional recombination equipment. Of course, the five-dimensional human scientists took into account that Zhou Yuan's space was three-dimensional, so these technologies could be realized in three-dimensional space.

After obtaining the consciousness integration and dimensional recombination technology from Lefia's holographic display, he discussed this technology with the two AIs, Nana and Aya. This technology, provided by the scientists of the five-dimensional human race, was primarily designed to address the characteristics of the human race's photonic consciousness. After being "projected" twice—once in four-dimensional space and once in three-dimensional space—the five-dimensional intelligent race's photonic consciousness experienced an exceptionally large amount of consciousness data in three-dimensional space, almost a two-stage geometric amplification, rendering ordinary three-dimensional consciousness storage ineffective. Zhou Yuan, recalling the cascaded Sheng Tianbo, decided to combine it with consciousness storage to create a cascaded consciousness storage system.

Zhou Yuan ordered Nana to begin activating her fleet and deploying a large number of intelligent robots to mine resources and manufacture equipment on three blue planets in the ten-star orbiting system. It was a non-stop operation.

Zhou Yuan did not conceal his fleet, so humans on Earth observed a large number of enormous objects appearing in the sky and near the sun, especially the warships appearing near the sun.

After obtaining Zhou Yuan's consent, the label informed President George of the Western Tu Kingdom that Zhou Yuan was conducting production activities and posed no threat to the humans of the Horizon Planet or Earth, and instructed the government to reassure the public and not to panic unnecessarily.

Because Zhou Yuan lifted the technological blockade on Earth, he thrived in the Western Lands, and within a few months was recommended as the assistant to the president of the Western Lands National Academy of Sciences. Knowing that Zhou Yuan's family had connections with mysterious aliens, his "romantic escapades" became a popular topic of conversation.

Under the arrangement of Zhou Yuan and Zhou Yuan's alias, Earth's humans launched their second spaceship. This spaceship landed precisely ten kilometers south of the residence of the highest ruler of the Horizon Planet humans. The special envoy and his entourage dispatched by the highest ruler of the Horizon Planet humans were waiting for this spaceship. The humans of the two planets began to enter a formal contact and communication phase.

On April 7, 1983, President George of the Western Kingdom, representing humanity on Earth, met with the supreme ruler of the Horizon Planet at the Presidential Palace of the Western Kingdom. The event was broadcast live worldwide.

During this grand live broadcast, Earth's humans witnessed for the first time the mysterious "alien" Zhou Yuan, whom they had long heard rumors about, and of course, Lefia as well. Zhou Yuan and Lefia were teleported to the stage by light.

The audience was initially surprised by the appearance of two "Zhou Yuans" on the stage, but they soon noticed the difference in their appearances.

Because the super-body droplet will be activated in six months, Zhou Yuan revealed some information in his speech, such as that they will "voyage" to break through the black hole in six months. Of course, Zhou Yuan promised to give the humans of the two planets technological advancement, but he asked the humans of the two planets to work together.

At the scene, Zhou Yuan holographically demonstrated the ten-star orbiting-the-sun system. At that moment, humanity realized that we don't need to worry about the depletion of Earth's resources, but should focus our attention on other planets.

In fact, some warships dispatched by Zhou Yuan have already traveled through hyperspace and reached several interstellar locations at the Milky Way base, where they are currently undergoing the "return" of the four nine-star orbiting-the-sun system. Tomorrow, the four nine-star orbiting-the-sun system will appear four light-years away from the ten-star orbiting-the-sun system. Of course, it will be four years before the humans on the Horizon and on Earth can observe the four nine-star orbiting-the-sun system.

Zhou Yuan is trying his best to restore the Earth Empire to its state before entering this six-dimensional black hole, the state it was in back then. What it lacks now is suitable humans. The humans on the Horizon Planet and Earth are far inferior to the humans of the Earth Empire before the consciousness transfer, both in terms of technology and civility. Zhou Yuan has no choice but to accelerate the technological advancement and "ideological education" of the humans on these two planets.

On September 7, 1983, there was one month left until Zhou Yuan's one-year agreement with the Human Race's Holy Arbiter.

That morning, Lefia called Zhou Yuan early, "Handsome, come over here. I received a message from the Holy Judgment Center. Should I tell you in person, or should I go to your flagship to say it?"

Lefia, Zhou Yuan arranged for her to live in a luxurious upscale residential area in the Huasheng Special District of the Western Turks, not too far from Zhou Yuan's family, only about two kilometers away.

Although Lefia and Zhou Yuan had visited the Horizon Planet and famous scenic spots on Earth several times during the past year, Zhou Yuan refused to bring Lefia onto any of his fleet's warships, especially his flagship. This provoked Lefia's protest, but after pouting to express her dissatisfaction, she took Zhou Yuan's arm and continued sightseeing.

"Lefia, let me come to your house."

"You're at my house again? Handsome, when can I visit your 'house' too?"

"Lefia, you definitely have a chance."

Zhou Yuan was immediately teleported to Lefia's living room, where Lefia was already sitting in a chair waiting for him. Zhou Yuan sat opposite her. When Lefia saw Zhou Yuan, her face lit up with a smile.

"Lefia, why are you so happy?"

"For 50,000 years I have been watching over you humans in a remote place in the fifth dimension. Now I am about to end this tedious duty. Do you think I am happy or not? Handsome, our human race will arrive in this three-dimensional space in ten days. This time it will be a true and complete arrival, including my photon consciousness."

Although Zhou Yuan knew that the human race would eventually arrive in this three-dimensional space, he felt that he had overlooked a major problem: what would happen to Lefia, the five-dimensional photon consciousness, if she arrived? Zhou Yuan's heart was already filled with unease, but for his own safety, he remained wary of the human race, including Lefia.

"Lefia, let me ask you, if your five-dimensional photon consciousness were to arrive, what would your current situation be?" Zhou Yuan finally asked the question. He felt the surrounding spacetime tremble, which was his own consciousness field fluctuating.

Lefia clearly sensed Zhou Yuan's fluctuations in consciousness, and a tender look appeared in her eyes. "Handsome, my body will slowly die."

"Similar to when you contacted the Holy Judgment Center inside the transparent square of light last time?"

"Yes, but it's even more serious than that. That time, my projected consciousness still had a little bit left, which could maintain the body for a month. If the projected consciousness completely leaves, the body can only be maintained for half an hour at most."

Zhou Yuan lowered his head in thought, remained silent for two minutes, then looked up and asked, "So, that means I'll never see you again?"

Lefia understood Zhou Yuan's meaning, of course. She noticed his eyes were a little red. "Yes, that's right." Lefia paused for a moment, seemingly having made up her mind. "But don't be sad. I can tell you how to revive me. The 'me' I'm talking about is the 'me' in three-dimensional space, understand?"

Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered, anticipating Lefia's next move.

Lefia looked at Zhou Yuan, reached out and stroked his face for a while, then withdrew her hand. "You can scan, store, and transplant my projected consciousness in this three-dimensional space, similar to how you were resurrected by that label Zhou Yuan. However, after you resurrect me in this three-dimensional world, I will experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, just like those humans on Earth, unless you keep cloning my consciousness."

"If your five-dimensional photon consciousness comes to this three-dimensional world, can't you project your consciousness and retain your current self?"

"There's a huge difference in this dimension. Even if I project my consciousness again, you probably won't see the current me. Have you prepared all those cascaded consciousness storage devices?"

"Everything was prepared more than ten days ago, just waiting for your news. Lefia, where do you think would be the best place to put these 20,000 cascaded consciousness storage devices?"

"Put it on your flagship?" Lefia asked tentatively, because she had asked Zhou Yuan to take her to the flagship several times, but Zhou Yuan had refused without hesitation each time.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Lefia. There seemed to be something inexplicable in Lefia's eyes, perhaps it was emotion? Zhou Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
