Chapter 200: Ranked First
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was room for argument. After the Emissary left, Zhao Yu immediately collapsed on the sofa, feeling utterly drained by the situation.
The Milky Way Empire was too strong and Zhao Yu still not capable to defy them now.
“Whether it’s the King of War or the Mysterious Merchant, both need to interact with other civilizations to acquire technology points…” he thought.
“Even the reputation system is relevant as well…”
“Now, the Empire have directly restricted me…”
The Empire neither allows civilizations to trade directly with each other, nor starting a war between them. This has completely eliminated Zhao Yu.
With the tax to pay the Empire. Taxes to be paid to the Kingdoms, Dukedom, and Marquisate were added.
If the taxes could be paid with mineral resources, Zhao Yu considered t would be still bearable. The issue was the dark matter, which could only be produced using living people as material.
Without the Empire drew back his order, 220 million people sacrifices to pay off the taxes every single year.
Even if Zhao Yu managed to maintain his rank as number one on Count’s Island. It was not enough.
“Commander, why don’t we escape…”
Uncle Da could not bear watching Zhao Yu in such pain.
“Escape? Where can we go?”
“The entire Milky Way is under the Empire’s control, where else can we go?!”
Zhao Yu felt depressed with the current situation they faced.
At this moment, he recalled the Emissary’s word in the quantum world.
Some nomadic civilizations had invaded other countries.
It led to the subsequent agreements and defensive arrangements.
“Hold on, it seems that the Empire was not able to arrest those nomadic civilizations?!”
Zhao Yu quickly thought of the need for intelligent life forms as materials for dark matter conversion.
He recalled the first time entered the quantum world, they had mentioned that intelligent life came from dark matter.
” Could it be that the Empire locked onto us because of dark matter?!”
Although he has no evidence integrating these pieces of information, Zhao Yu felt it was highly probable.
With a method to determine the dark matter within the Milky Way. That was the reason about how the Empire was able to find out all the civilization.
“If a planet with no intelligent life emerged? Could the content of dark matter remain constant?”
“If this is the case, it could explain why the Empire can locate all civilizations in the Milky Way but they failed to catch the nomadic fleets…”
“In this way, the Empire might not be as strong as 1 thought!” Zhao Yu felt that his judgment might very well be correct.
“If this is true, I can completely escape from here…”
“No, not now…”
“The most urgent thing now is to identify my hypothesis. We need to set up a base somewhere outside of the Empire’s surveillance first…”
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhao Yu did not want to leave the solar system and abandon the Earth.
After all, with the vastness of the universe, where can one truly call home other than our birthplace?
Zhao Yu gradually had a plan in his mind.
“Uncle Da, what do you think if we send our mother s.h.i.+p, which also serves as a base, to the outer regions of the Milky Way?”
Zhao Yu had designated a mother hip as a secondary base which could infinitely expand its production line beside his moon base.
“I think it’s a good idea, but how can we create it secretly?”
“My idea is, deploying a fleet with our mother s.h.i.+p and stage a few explosions in various places…”
“If the Empire doesn’t track it, I am able to confirm my theory and plan to set up a secondary base.”
Without further delay, Zhao Yu quickly consulted with Colonel Chu.
“If that’s the case, the fleet we send out must have living humans aboard so they can use quantum communication to relay messages back,” Colonel Chu responded without hesitation.
Otherwise, they would just be complying with the Empire, sacrifice tremendous life in a year. This was too cruel, and he was grateful that Zhao Yu still had a conscience.
“Exactly. But who should we send?”
The most suitable candidates in his mind was robots who were unquestionably loyal. However, robots couldn’t enter the quantum world, making it impossible for them to communicate over long distances in real-time.
“Let me go!”
Without any hesitation, Colonel Chu suggested himself to construct the second base for Zhao Yu.
Considering the survival of all humanity, Zhao Yu entrusted this mission to Colonel Chu.
For secrecy, the only living person involved this time was Colonel Chu.
Since it concerned the survival of the entire human race, Zhao Yu didn’t hesitate to agree.
After finalizing the details, Colonel Chu, along with the operator Li Zongheng, piloted over a hundred wars.h.i.+ps, departing the solar system through a wormhole.
The first step of Zhao Yu’s plan was to probe and ascertain if the Empire’s reconnaissance methods were as potent as feared.
They would pretend to be a nomadic fleet, attacking other civilizations, and then observe the Empire’s reaction..
