Chapter 289: Rescue Plan! Another Warp!

Chapter 289: Rescue Plan! Another Warp!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At least 3/5 of Noah One was still instact! This confirmation by ZERO was definitely weighty.

As mentioned earlier, the Noah One was completely different from the Hope in the sense that its members were the best of the best selected from all the countries. The military on it was the most trained and disciplined special ops. If these soldiers were saved and recruited into the Hope, then the Defence Unit’s numbers would increase manifold!

Of course, whether they would be controllable was another issue. However, Xiao Niao knew that Yao Yuan was the leader of Black Star Units, one of the best special ops units from Earth, so his existence was akin to a soldier king. Plus, with the Black Star Troopers behind his back, having their loyalty wouldn’t be such a big issue.

In comparison, he was more excited to get more information from ZERO.

"Then can you triangulate the Noah One’s location?" Xiao Niao typed in a hurry.

ZERO took another long pause before replying, "I can, but it will not be accurate. Actually, in space, coordinate triangulation in the wide cosmos isn’t as accurate as it is on a terrestrial planet. The coordinates wouldn’t be accurate enough to reach the accuracy of centimeters. This is especially true about space warp. Triangulation is done through wave functions, and that in itself is randomized. Therefore, it took me several trials before I could bring you guys to the mother nest alien. However, I do know the Noah One’s coordinates."

She knows? What does she mean by that? Xiao Niao didn’t want to waste time thinking about it, so he quickly typed, "Then can you bring the Hope there?"

This time ZERO took an even longer pause, so much so that Xiao Niao thought she had left. However, she eventually answered, "I can… but why would I? To tell you the truth, using the function inside the UFO requires… anyway, it exhausts me a lot. The world inside the UFO is not something you human beings can imagine; it’s a completely different world. Like I’ve told you, I’m an intelligent lifeform and not AI, so I also can completely control the UFO…"

Xiao Niao’s mind rang with alarm. He quickly replied, "We’re on the same boat now, aren’t we? You know what this idiom means, right? The Hope is lacking in manpower, or more specifically, people from Earth that are experts. This is why our scientific progress has been so slow, and the Noah One has just that…"

"I know," ZERO wrote, interrupting Xiao Niao. "Of course I know that. The Noah One’s space warping is possible because I intervened to control the space warp. At the time, I didn’t know using the device inside the UFO would exhaust me… Now I regret it, so no matter how hard they call on me, I ignore them."

Xiao Niao continued, "Since you know about the Noah One, you should know how important they are to us. Please help us with this favor, pretty please."

"I don’t want to!" ZERO replied directly. "I have no idea how much I have to sacrifice, and you only care about yourself…. Selfish! In conclusion, I will not do this, this is not something discussable!"

Xiao Niao read her hesitation between the lines. He immediately typed in Yao Yuan’s offer to sweeten the pot, "ZERO, think about it, if our human science increases, then you will get the body that you want sooner. Without the Noah One, I can live for at least another 150 years, but even in 150 years, we will not be able to make you a physical body. This means I will not be alive to see you become a real human. So you see, helping us is helping yourself."

ZERO pause for the longest time before saying, "… Give me three months. I will try my best to bring you to the Noah One, but I have to say, this time it will not be as accurate as locating the mother nest alien. We might have to warp many times, but the general direction will not be wrong. However, I still have to warn you, and you tell Yao Yuan and the rest about this… Remember, the limit for this is only three to five years, within three to five years, if you still can’t locate the Noah One, then you will give up because the neutron star fragment will arrive at the solar system they’re in, so going there will be akin to suicide.

"Finally, I’ll not be doing this for free, so you have to promise me one more thing. I still haven't thought about what yet, so you owe me twice now! Remember, when it comes time to repay me, no matter how hard my demand, you have to fulfil it!"

After the last sentence, ZERO left, and to show her annoyance, she even shut down Xiao Niao’s computer. However, Xiao Niao no longer cared about her or the computer. His brain was filled with much needed information and happiness. After all, the people on the Noah One were also human refugees and resources needed by the Hope, so it was hard for Xiao Niao not to be happy.

Very soon, Xiao Niao relayed his conversation with ZERO to Yao Yuan and Ren Tao as well as Bo Li, who was with them.

"…That’s what she said. From what we know, space warp can be controlled, but the control is greatly limited. By what, I have no clue," Yao Yuan concluded after he told them everything.

Yao Yuan immediately turned to Bo Li beside him. "How can we use randomized wave functions to control the direction and location of space warp?"

Bo Li shook her head and replied rather hesitantly, "I have no idea. Wave function in quantum theory mentions that if there is no observer, the wave function of a thing or person will have an unpredictable change in its process and result. It should have nothing to do with space warp… No, she is probably talking about something else completely."

Bo Li petered off to silence. Yao Yuan and the other two looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. Regarding high tech stuff, mankind was too weak, so even if they were told the theory, it would be difficult to understand how it operated. Therefore, they moved away from the technology and started discussing other things.

"If we warp in three months, then we will have to prepare everything in these three months. First, the Space Combat Jet Prototype 011s. If manufactured at full speed in these three months, we can reach up to 250 sets. This is the limit. The black star space armors, are still in design, so we’ll have to rely on the old armors. Lastly, the upgrade on the Hope…"

Yao Yuan sighed. "After all, we’ve only been here for one and a half years. Then again, the Noah One is more important. After three months, we will ask ZERO to start warping."

Suddenly, Ren Tao added, "Have you thought about the possibility that… it was not only us who received this signal? After all, the Noah One’s signal was sent out through space using the space warp’s randomized motion. Of course, the chance of us receiving it is higher since we have the similar space warp engine, but this doesn’t preclude other alien civilizations from receiving it as well. Have you thought about that? The closer they are to the Noah One, the greater the chance they will receive the signal from Noah One. Possibly Level 2, 3, or even 4 civilizations are rushing towards it. Do you think the Hope has any chance of winning over them?"

Yao Yuan was silent before answering, "Of course I’ve thought about that, but this is the only chance we have pf securing the people on the Noah One, so no matter what, we have to try. Of course, if we really stumble into an enemy that we cannot beat, I will not repeat the mistake I commited with the space merchants. So don’t worry, I will order the Hope to warp immediately. Furthermore, we have Eva with us. If she senses the Hope’s extinction, we will immediately give up on the Noah One…"

Ren Tao shook his head silently before parting and walking towards the secret meeting room. Xiao Niao and Yao Yuan followed behind him. Of course, it was Yao Yuan who pulled along Bo Li, who was still in thinking mode…

In the meeting room, Yao Yuan announced that the Hope would start warping in three months. Due to some special technology, the Hope could attempt to get closer to the Noah One’s location. Of course, this would likely be a treacherous journey, so the Hope had to prepare for possible combat. Production on AI robots had to be stopped to focus on producing Space Combat Jet Prototype 011s, enhancing the space armors, and improving the Hope’s outer armor…

As the meeting came to a close, Yao Yuan concluded, "Everyone, I will not waste time to say more. I think everyone here understands the Noah One’s importance to us. Therefore, let us work together to complete the most important mission since we’ve left Earth!

"Operation Rescue!"

Just like that, three months later, the Hope warped again and disappeared from that part of space…
