When the freshmen began military training, Chu River and Chang Geng had already joined the secret project team.
The team had very few members; besides her and Chang Geng as the main core members, there were only a few assistants handling data and experimental staff. This was not the hover shuttle project she was always thinking about, but rather the most important part of the preliminary preparations—
[Spiritual Power Development]
In the Star Sea Era, their home planet was also Mountain and Sea Star, but with further development in technology, energy remained the greatest difficulty. Nations developed to compete for resources, companies needed resources for profit, and new technology development relied on resources...
Taking the current year of 2020 as a pivotal point, the timeline flows onward, and in less than 300 years, Mountain and Sea Star had already exhausted its resources.
By then, the originally beautiful and radiant planet was no longer habitable for humans. The whole world finally united at this time, striving to open the path to alien galaxies.
In the long cosmos wandering, the home planet only existed in legends, and even the word hometown became elusive.
Until they discovered another habitable star system, which became the past of the Star Sea Federation.
Only then did humans gradually begin to develop spiritual power and learn to utilize it. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by nοvelfire.net
This was something everyone possessed; weak ones were ordinary, while the strong rose to high ranks. Every new technology relied on the development of spiritual power.
It was elusive, yet traceable.
Most importantly, when it combined with certain materials and was utilized by spiritual power users, it could not only induce strong mutation effects but even dictate the direction of mutation.
In some aspects, the results achieved by combining certain materials with spiritual power were more formidable than a nuclear bomb from the Mountain and Sea Star Era.
On the battlefield, it was the nemesis of the Insect Race.
This was the wonder of cosmic creation.
It was also the reason why humanity never walked into dead ends.
And now, the knowledge brought by the arrival of Chu River and Chang Geng was enough to change the current pattern and future path of Mountain and Sea Star.
No matter if it was the same timeline or the same history, such a beautiful star, no one could bear to see it destroyed.
Therefore, Chang Geng’s previous proposal—about initiating spiritual power in this era—was something Chu River wholeheartedly supported.
Ignoring anything else, with the current situation, she wanted to build a hover shuttle, not even mentioning whether it could load a fragmented core impact energy weapon... Just assembling it to withstand a warp storm would require another two or three hundred years of development without spiritual power.
Two or three hundred years, and the afternoon tea would have gone cold.
A workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well.
Just like when she made the Rescue Dragonfly and mechanical prosthetics, she had to break down the knowledge into pieces and forcefully stuff it into the heads of a group of project team employees. To achieve rapid success with the hover shuttle, the more spiritual power users, the better.
And now is the best era.
"What are you planning to do?"
Chu River, brimming with enthusiasm, readied herself: "I’ve been cooped up in the lab for too long, I’m about to go crazy! You know I’m not that kind of talent, I’d be better off being sent to open up an extraterrestrial battlefield, find a place for a fight! If nothing else works, declare our sovereignty on the Moon, that’s still more exciting than this!"
Despite her grumbling, given her and Chang Geng’s current status, even spraining an ankle outside would cause a discreet nationwide sensation.
Now, this was just a helpless joke.
But joking aside, Chu River did indeed have an idea.
"You said that the sprouting of spiritual power either relies on cosmic wave stimulation or slow, steady guidance... But this guidance is too inefficient and too time-consuming. How about I apply to set up an extraterrestrial battlefield, find an uninhabited planet, and take people there for training exercises..."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if the beautiful times of training troops on the Deserted Star were right before her eyes: "The more training sessions we have, someone might just break through, right?"
Chang Geng didn’t refute her; he merely nodded solemnly:
"Your idea is excellent—how about this, you continue researching new materials. The current spacesuits can’t quite support ordinary soldiers doing training exercises on the Deserted Star."
"Meanwhile, the seating capacity of manned spacecraft is limited. You can’t possibly wait a year and a half on the Deserted Star with only a few people transported there... Just ponder how to enhance the performance."
"Additionally, the different gravity environment can’t be simulated, nor is there sufficient computational power to support your real-time data calculations. I can apply for you to use Shénwēi—would you consider secretly upgrading this supercomputer during the process?"
