Chapter 442: The Project Begins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Du Yuan was on a secret mission, and was about to leave his family. It was hard to say if he would ever return. Hence, he specially took leave to accompany his family for a period of time.
Perhaps this was also their last period of time.
However, when Du Yuan went out in the streets alone to buy something today, he realized that something was amiss. The originally bustling streets seemed to have fallen silent all of a sudden, as if he was the only one in the entire world.
As a security personnel who underwent secret training, Du Yuan was very vigilant. He had even undergone genetic enhancement before. Although it was impossible for him to be enhanced too much, he had actually reached the level of one life transition by the standards of a cultivator.
It was only then that he was qualified to carry out that highly antic.i.p.ated secret mission.
!!
But now, just as he was about to unleash his strength, he realized that he could not move his entire body no matter what. It was as if a powerful force in the surroundings was restraining him.
In front of him, an unfamiliar young man slowly walked over.
“Du Yuan, you are the battleship security personnel for the Black Hole Capture Project.”
When Du Yuan heard the young man’s words, his expression changed drastically. The Black Hole Capture Project was an epoch-making mission. Absolutely no accident must happen.
During this period, they even discovered many factions preparing to infiltrate the mission, but they were all eliminated. Unexpectedly, someone else was still taking the risk now.
Moreover, someone with such strange power must be a cultivator.
Du Yuan wanted to open his mouth or send an alarm message to the person-in-charge, but his entire body was immobile. Moreover, it was as if needles were p.r.i.c.king his mind. Then, his consciousness gradually faded.
Even though Du Yuan tried to struggle and retain his consciousness, he was powerless to do so. In the end, he completely lost consciousness.
The young man was Lin Feng. He wanted to infiltrate the mission to capture the black hole. The research personnel’s duties might be heavy, and a moment of imprudence would be enough for him to be exposed. Hence, he did not choose the research personnel, but the security personnel.
Hence, he chose Du Yuan in the end.
Lin Feng brought Du Yuan to an abandoned house. There was food and water inside, enough to sustain Du Yuan for a few months. However, Du Yuan could forget about escaping or contacting the outside world.
As for what would happen after, Lin Feng would already have completed the mission and left the Matrix civilization.
Actually, the safest method was to kill Du Yuan. Only then would there be no hidden dangers. However, this went against Lin Feng’s principles. Although he did not really care about life that much, Lin Feng could not kill an ordinary person for no reason.
After locking Du Yuan up, Lin Feng mobilized the combat body cells and began to transform slowly. Finally, he transformed into Du Yuan. They looked exactly the same, with identical cellular arrangements. Lin Feng could undergo a myriad of transformations.
Transforming into someone like Du Yuan was a piece of cake.
After transforming into Du Yuan, Lin Feng got Longbetham to gather all the information on Du Yuan in advance. He knew that Du Yuan would end his “vacation” today and return to the secret base to prepare to carry out the Black Hole Capture Project.
As expected, Lin Feng received a notification from the base in the afternoon. He was impersonating Du Yuan. After bidding farewell to Du Yuan’s family, he would go straight to the secret base.
This base was huge, and everything was prioritized for the mission. There were actually not many security personnel, because there would be battleships escorting them when the time came.
They were only here to protect the personal safety of the researchers in case of emergencies.
“Du Yuan” successfully infiltrated the security personnel and adapted to his current job. He was just a guard, and actually had a lot of free time.
Just like that, it was soon time for the Black Hole Capture Project. The Matrix civilization took this mission very seriously and deployed thousands of battleships as escorts.
Moreover, apart from strategic weapons, such as weapons that could kill advanced planetary lifeforms, all the other advanced weapons were equipped.
There were even many weapons more terrifying than planet annihilation cannons. If they encountered elementary planetary lifeforms, this fleet could easily blast them into pieces.
Not even Lin Feng dared to face such a powerful fleet head-on.
This was the power of a technological civilization! Lin Feng also sighed with emotion. Although cultivation civilizations were the dominant force in the universe, that technological civilizations could firmly occupy an important position, and thrive among the many civilizations in the universe, they naturally had their unique strengths.
All Lin Feng could do now was wait quietly, and pay attention to discovering the “fiends” hidden in the crowd. He did not know when the fiends would reveal their true form, but he had to pay attention at all times.
This was because once the fiends revealed their true form, it would mean that everything was about to end. The fiends’ goal was about to be accomplished. At that time, the fiends must be stopped.
The battleships escorted the scientific research s.p.a.ceships away from Planet Matrix, towards the black hole they had observed.
Although black holes were famous and everyone in the universe knew about them, the number of people who had actually seen a black hole could be counted on one hand. Ordinary civilizations with low technological levels only knew that black holes existed through scientific hypothesis. They could not even observe black holes.
A civilization that could observe black holes was already rather impressive.
As for something like the Matrix civilization, which actually planned to capture a black hole, that would be too incredible. Even mechanical civilizations could not do it. If the Matrix civilization could really capture the black hole and study it over time, the Matrix civilization might even have a chance of developing a terrifying weapon against ultimate planetary lifeforms.
After all, black holes were terrifying celestial bodies that only ultimate planetary lifeforms could contend against.
The black hole was more than 2,000 light-years away from Planet Matrix, which could be considered a considerable distance. However, the s.p.a.ceships and the fleet were both very fast. It only took them three months to approach the black hole.
However, the battleships could not escort s.p.a.ceships too close to the black hole. Otherwise, the battleships might also be devoured by the black hole.
To ensure the absolute safety of the s.p.a.ceships, the fleet began to “clear the area”. They swept through everything within hundreds of light-years of the black hole. Only after confirming that there was no threat did the fleet stop the action.
It would be up to the scientific researchers next. The Black Hole Capture Project officially began!
Lin Feng was on the s.p.a.ceship of the scientific researchers. As a security personnel, he knew nothing about scientific research, but that did not stop him from knowing the progress of the Black Hole Capture Project.
He could tell just by looking at the expressions of the researchers. All of them had nervous looks on their faces.
“Almost, almost.”
Among the researchers, there were three solemn faces, but their eyes were filled with excitement. Unlike the excitement of the other researchers, there seemed to be a trace of avarice in their eyes as well.
“Initiate the Black Hole Capture Project and release the meta-matter!”
The scientific researcher presiding over this plan gave the order firmly.
