Chapter 610: s.p.a.ce WarpTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Milky Way was the name of the galaxy that contained the Solar System. It contained more than one hundred and thirty billion stars and a large number of star cl.u.s.ters, nebulae, and various types of interstellar gas and interstellar dust.
It had a diameter of more than one hundred thousand light-years. The thickness of it at its center was about twelve thousand light-years, and its total ma.s.s was one hundred and forty billion times the ma.s.s of the sun.
Earth was as tiny as a speck of dust in the starry skies of this vast universe.
In the vast Milky Way, humans had always felt lonely despite the hundreds of millions of stars. That was because human beings had never found their own kind in the universe. After all, the universe was simply too big.
At this time, human beings, who had always thought that they were alone in the universe, finally discovered a similar life form—although these life forms did not seem to be very friendly…
There were three s.p.a.ce carriers.
The three s.p.a.ce carriers had gray steel sh.e.l.ls and were about thirty kilometers long. The hulls were dotted with large and small turrets. There were an estimated five hundred over turrets. The muzzle of each turret was about ten meters in diameter and about ten meters deep. It was impossible to see anything through the black hole.
Since they were capable of interstellar travel, there should be no doubt as to the power of these turrets.
In a s.p.a.ce carrier that was in the center towards the front of the group, there were about a dozen people gathered in the huge island inside the s.h.i.+p, holding a temporary meeting!
These ten people were headed by a middle-aged man who looked very calm. He had Deca"s purple hair and purple eyes. His clothes were very futuristic with unknown attachments of various sizes.
At that moment, he was sitting in front of the podium and looking at a huge holographic projection of a figure. He said slowly, “Deca, you said that this young man named Hong Dali can control the galaxy-level beast Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger? Is that true? Are you sure?”
Surprisingly, the character projected by the hologram was Hong Dali.
“I am very sure, father.” Deca sat in the middle of the people and smiled. He said, “I rode on the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger inside and it felt great. That"s obviously a planet that has just connected to the Galaxy Virtual Internet. The virtual s.p.a.ce of the planet has not been developed yet and Hong Dali is the only person inside.” As he spoke, he shrugged. “Speaking of which, my luck is really good. I was bored and was just looking around to see if there were any places we have yet to discover. And I actually found one!”
“Well, the portal ability that you inadvertently acquired in the Galaxy Virtual Internet previously is really useful. I would not have been able to portal to them directly.” Deca"s father rubbed his chin and thought about it, then said, “Speaking of which, this is indeed a very valuable piece of information. Right, what is the position of this planet that Hong Dali is on?”
“According to my earlier reconnaissance.” Deca dismissed the image of Hong Dali and then replaced it with a huge image of the Milky Way. “The Milky Way has a galactic center and four spiral arms. The spiral arms are four thousand and five hundred light-years apart. Their stellar system is located on one of the arms of the Milky Way. They are about twenty-six thousand light-years to the galactic center of the Milky Way.” As he spoke, Deca selected the arm of the solar system and magnified it by a hundred times. The projection changed to an image of a dense group of stars and planets. He said, “It somewhere around here. The universe is too big, I can only determine the approximate location.”
“Well, if this Hong Dali can really control the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger, he has a very valuable ability.” Deca"s father looked carefully at the group of stars within which the solar system was located and said, “Considering that their technology has only just reached the stage where they can connect to the Galaxy Virtual Internet, they should be easy to conquer. Let"s calculate the budget.”
After he said that, a man with green hair and scales on his cheeks said slowly, “The target area is about nine thousand and four hundred light-years from here. If we wish to proceed, we need to do a s.p.a.ce warp. Every s.p.a.ce warp requires seven thousand and five hundred grams of Immium alloy at a cost of one point two million Galaxy Dollars. If the target planet is successfully acquired and Hong Dali"s ability to control animals is put up for sale at the Galaxy Empire League auction, it should be able to sell for one point five to two million. The other ordinary people can be sold as slaves. According to the exchange rate of one thousand slaves to one Galaxy Dollar, if Hong Dali"s planet has a population of three billion, then they can be sold for three million galaxy coins. In addition, if the target planet has an environment that is suitable to live in, it will be very valuable.”
It would take two s.p.a.ce warps, to and fro, costing two point four million, and if they successfully conquered the target planet, they could get at least five million Galaxy Dollars. It seemed to be very worthwhile.
“Yes, generally speaking, this is still a rather big transaction.” Deca"s father immediately nodded at this. “In this case, everyone should get ready to s.p.a.ce warp. Deca, when the s.p.a.ce warp is complete, remember to keep an eye on the other party"s activity. Also, do not initiate any hostilities. We must first check out their strength. I don"t want any accidents. Any one of these three s.p.a.ce carriers is far more valuable than an ordinary planet.”
“Okay, father.” Deca nodded immediately.
“In that case, s.p.a.ce carriers united, prepare for a s.p.a.ce warp.”
Soon after Deca"s father had issued the command, all the three s.p.a.ce carriers began to pulse red. It was the signal to prepare for a s.p.a.ce warp.
After that, the hulls of the three s.p.a.ce carriers began to transform. All the turrets on the hull were retracted, replaced by huge exterior s.h.i.+elds that looked like ceramic. In the short span of half an hour, the three huge s.p.a.ce carriers became oval spheres that looked like three eggsh.e.l.ls.
At the end of the transformation, ma.s.sive amounts of energy radiated from the sh.e.l.ls of the three s.p.a.ce carriers. This was a force field that protected the s.p.a.ce carrier from being torn to pieces by the exceeding huge force generated during the s.p.a.ce warp.
After the protective forcefield was fully opened, the s.p.a.ce around the entire mother s.h.i.+p began to warp.
First, s.p.a.ce was distorted, then stretched, folded, and turned into a singularity, disappearing instantly.
About an hour later.
In the planetary belt where the Solar System was located.
s.p.a.ce started to warp violently before it stretched and expanded. Soon, three s.p.a.ce carriers that looked like eggsh.e.l.ls appeared in s.p.a.ce.
“Every time we s.p.a.ce warp and enter into dark s.p.a.ce to start the interstellar travel, I feel like vomiting,” Deca complained. “Luckily, the duration is not too long. Otherwise, I would have to rest for a few days.”
“You find riches in danger, my son.” Deca"s father chuckled and said, “You must pay a price if you want to earn money. Money will not drop from the sky.” He then took a deep breath and said, “So, let"s calculate the route.”
“Okay.” Deca"s holographic projection magnified again and, after he saw the position of the three s.p.a.ce carriers, he said excitedly, “Ah, our luck is really good. We are only about slightly more than one standard Galaxy month away from our target. To be exact, it"s thirty-nine days away.”
“It seems my luck is really good.” Deca"s father nodded, satisfied. “Let"s set off!”
In s.p.a.ce, danger approached.
On Earth, people still lived carefree lives. Two days after Hong Dali made contact with Deca, at 8 AM.
A piece of news in the Heavenly State shocked everyone.
Dali"s Pan-Entertainment Civil Technology Group Corporation had been set up! The three internet giants—Sangle, Turkey and Jianbao Plaza—had merged and put Dali Dollars, which was meant to be used exclusively on the internet, into circulation!

As a newly established company, Dali Technology is the only company that can continue to challenge the limits and march onward. This is all thanks to Hong Dali"s golden ideas. By adhering to the goal of not making money or making less money, instead insisting on better user experience, and having users willingly contribute to them, thus creating income. This is the key to the growth of Dali Technology. It"s worth noting that Dali Technology is a company that will be unaffected by any financial crisis and can so continue to scale to new heights.
