He absolutely must get this engine, even if it means making a huge sacrifice for Taotie.
...
Onboard the aircraft carrier Juxia, the intelligence room was already bustling with activity.
The Deno3 probe was the first to detect a massive energy tide near Pluto.
The information was relayed to the central computer in Juxia City, where it was then urgently reported by the intelligence officer.
A series of sharp alarm sounds began to echo throughout the ship, and all duty personnel immediately went to their posts.
"Report! The Worm Bridge on Pluto has been activated, feedback from Deno III..."
Lingfeng's eyes suddenly widened, and after a pause, she said:
"The scan results indicate that the number of enemy warships exceeds one hundred thousand!"
The Taotie had visited Earth before, the first time alone, and was directly killed by Xu Yi.
The second time was when a small team invaded Blue Star to capture Soton, an evil god that Karl had left on Blue Star a long time ago, but Xu Yi intercepted them.
The number of Taotie that came on those two occasions was not large, and none of them were warship-sized spaceships that landed inside the atmosphere of Earth.
At most, it's just a small squadron of about ten patrol boats.
"One hundred thousand?"
Wang Yu took a deep breath, his face ashen, and asked:
"Is it confirmed to be a warship-class vessel?"
Ducao is not surprised at all.
The Taotie population was actually only around two million, but it was a civilization where everyone was a soldier.
They also have their own subordinate civilizations, but those subordinate civilizations are actually not very good.
This time, several civilizations... or rather races, came to the solar system from the Styx Galaxy along with the Taotie.
Slightly inferior to the Taotie was a civilization called the Giant Wolf; the rest were cannon fodder.
The Giant Wolf Civilization was not a subordinate civilization of the Taotie. They and the Taotie were merely under Karl's command and came to the solar system together as allies.
Lingfeng didn't explain much to Wang Yu, but confirmed that there were more than 100,000 spaceships of the warship class.
"Blue Star... is in trouble!"
Wang Yu's hands, placed on his outer thighs, trembled slightly uncontrollably. He struggled to control his emotions and said:
"No matter how difficult it is, China will persevere in the fight until the day of victory!"
Dukao, with no change in expression, calmly said:
"We have the Super Soldier Company. One of them is worth a hundred spaceships."
Characters like Sun Wukong and Xu Yi could easily destroy thousands of spaceships.
It would have been better if he hadn't said that; upon hearing this, Wang Yu's face turned even more ashen.
The Super Soldier Company is currently very small. Even if one member is equivalent to a hundred spaceships, it would still be equivalent to more than a thousand ships.
The key issue is that the invaders have a staggering 100,000 spaceships!
"It's fine."
Dukao comforted Wang Yu, saying, "Blue Star is now exposed to the sights of major civilizations, and even the Taotie will hesitate to act rashly."
They dared not commit all their military forces to the battlefield at once.
The Super Soldier Corps will have time to grow.
Once they mature, even 100,000 spaceships won't be enough to wipe them out in one go.
Wang Yu knew that Dukao had high hopes for Xiong Bing.
It was repeatedly emphasized that if the members of the Super Soldier Corps could become gods, it would surely make the Chinese nation stand at the pinnacle among the nations of the universe.
This claim has been confirmed to some extent, naturally because it is known that there are civilizations with gods in the universe.
Regardless of the sacrifices they made, they truly stand at the top among the nations of the universe.
Wang Yu fell silent. All he could do now was pray that everything would turn out as Ducao had said, and that China could overcome this crisis.
...
Inside the control room of the Great Gorge, Dukao looked at a huge screen.
The screen showed the Super Soldier Squad training in the sea, with Lena and Xu Yi playfully splashing around in the water.
Dukao sighed slightly: "What a group of energetic young people!"
Lianfeng, inform them to return to the Juxia.
The Taotie are about to invade; their training will have to become even more arduous!
After Lianfeng sent the message, Qiangwei received it.
Rose, who was swimming, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the crowd behind her.
Rose's expression turned serious: "We should return to the Great Gorge for our next training session!"
Back on the Great Gorge, Dukao was already waiting for us!
"Is everyone here?" Dukao surveyed the group.
As the captain of the Super Soldier Squad, Lena's duties naturally included attendance management.
After Lena finished counting the number of people, she said to Dukao:
"The Super Soldier Company should have nine members, but only eight are present. We are currently one member short."
Everyone was extremely surprised and looked around at the people, trying to find the absent person in the queue.
·· ·····Requesting flowers···· ·······
It's a bit alarming that one person is missing!
"Holy crap! Could someone have gotten eaten by a shark without noticing?!" Zhao Xin exclaimed in utter shock.
"No way? We're all here!"
Ge Xiaolun looked around and said with a puzzled expression.
Rui Mengmeng blinked her bright eyes and said, "Yes!"
Me, Qi Lin, Qiang Wei, Xu Yi, Ge Xiaolun
"Cheng Yaowen, Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin, aren't they all here?"
Zhao Xin looked around and found that everyone was indeed there. He asked:
"Goddess Lena, you didn't miscount, did you?"
"No, there must be one missing."
"I'm your goddess, and I'm quite talented at counting."
Lena proudly raised her head, full of confidence in herself.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and after looking around, they realized that not a single person was missing.
Qi Lin suppressed a laugh and teased Rui Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, count the people you just mentioned, and see if there are nine people."
Rui Mengmeng counted on her fingers one by one: "Me, you, Qiangwei, Xu Yi, Ge Xiaolun, Yaowen, Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin, what?"
... 0
"Only eight people actually showed up?"
"Hahaha."
Qi Lin was amused by Rui Mengmeng's adorable appearance and laughed.
Dukao's face was as black as an iron pot. His eyes were fixed on Lena, and he managed to utter a sentence that even he felt ashamed of:
"Lena, did you forget to count yourself in as well?"
Lena paused for a moment, thought for a second, and then said awkwardly:
"seems like it."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Surprisingly, even the goddess Lena isn't very good at counting.
"What are you laughing at? I... just arrived on Earth."
"I'm not quite familiar with your methods of counting people on Earth."
Lena glared at Xu Yi, who was laughing the loudest, offered a defense, and then joined the ranks.
With two black eyes from Lena's punch, Xu Yi muttered under his breath, speaking meaningfully:
"Isn't mathematics universally applicable throughout the universe?"
The methods are all the same, does that mean the blazing sun equals three when it's one plus one?
Awesome!
