Chapter 400 391 Base 2
After copying a set of data from the Benefactor's flying saucer, Bai Zhongqi gazed at the stellar navigation coordinates in his hand, feeling quite emotional. In a place like Taoran Star, people had no choice but to use stellar positioning, a navigation technology used on Earth in ancient times. The positions of distant stars relative to planets are almost fixed, and with precise astronomical capabilities, this method of navigation could be made very accurate.
Nan Ma was peeling a local fruit on Taoran Star that resembled an orange; it wasn't very tasty, but it was juicy and rich in vitamins. After several days of consuming synthetic food since their arrival at Taoran Star, finding some natural fruits was indeed a blessing.
"Your Majesty, even though base number two of the Benefactors on Taoran Star isn't primarily used for combat, it still possesses a large array of defense weapons. Do you have any clever plans for us to destroy this base?"
Bai Zhongqi spread his hands, "No."
Nan Ma smiled and gave a thumbs-up, "You're really honest."
Bai Zhongqi patted the small Atomic Substance Construction device beside him and said, "We don't have powerful spaceships, formidable fighter jets, or hundreds of thousands of troops, but we have one of these devices, which is enough for us to create some powerful weapons."
Bai Zhongqi wasn't speaking nonsense, as long as there were appropriate elemental materials, the Atomic Substance Constructor could assemble them into anything. Although the small machine couldn't produce a warship, making small super weapons wasn't difficult. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
Bai Zhongqi scrolled through the various creation lists loaded into the Atomic Substance Construction device, finally stopping on one page, revealing a smile.
Nan Ma leaned over with his bald head to observe, and saw a few characters on it.
The Magnetic Levitation Officer, Xuan Pei, was deeply worried. He told his trusted subordinate, Yuanhui Shanglun, "We can't hold Taoran Star. The Star Alliance is aggressively advancing; they recently destroyed the large fleet led by the Eleventh Prince of Teizene. In this star sector alone, they boast at least two thousand warships. Moreover, the Star Alliance can perform second-stage warp speed travel as a high-level civilization, and they could reach Taoran Star in extremely short time, whereas our strength of only six warships is insufficient to confront them."
Yuanhui Shanglun asked, "Blessed Lord, then what should we do now?"
"Find Shenshen Zuo Fu and Qingya Ji Yangbo, those two idiots, as soon as possible and then immediately return to our home planet. There's no need to wreck ourselves over the Controllers' Eternal Crystal Stone," Xuan Pei responded. This was a very typical mindset of the Benefactors; they liked to collect a large number of vassal tribes to serve them, but the Benefactors did not enjoy engaging in wars with opponents of significant strength.
In fact, the Benefactors had long bullied civilizations ten grades behind their own or even those that hadn't entered the Intergalactic Era. The Teizene people had the guts to confront the Earthlings directly, but the Benefactors would not do so.
Yuanhui Shanglun said, "The Controllers' civilization places high importance on the Eternal Crystal Stone of Taoran Star. They have constantly pressured Da Ci En, trying to force us to increase the mining intensity of the Eternal Crystal Stone. Now that we've lost Taoran Star and the Eternal Crystal Stone, I'm afraid the Controllers will blame us."
Xuan Pei sighed, "It seems a conflict is unavoidable. Your rank is too low to understand the Controllers' desire for the Eternal Crystal Stone."
Yuanhui Shanglun asked in surprise, "We've been here for ten years, and you've never told us about the functions of the Eternal Crystal Stone. What exactly do the Controllers use it for?"
"Eternal Crystal Stone is a mysteriously originating mineral in the universe, though it's just a simple silicate in material composition, yet it has unique powers. Many years ago, the Controllers found some Eternal Crystal Stones which can absorb radiation and even resonate and transform energy. So, although the Eternal Crystal Stone is of no use to our carbon-based life forms, the Controllers are energy-based life forms constantly emitting radiation. The Eternal Crystal Stone can greatly enhance their individual lifespan and have some positive effects on them. What those effects are, we don't exactly know, but Da Ci En has speculated that the energy-based life forms may be using the Eternal Crystal Stones for their racial evolution. By that time, the Controllers' ability to manipulate other races could ascend to an alarming level."
Yuanhui Shanglun involuntarily swallowed, "The Controllers have never developed any technology; all their technology is acquired by manipulating other civilizations and races. If the Controllers' ability to take over minds and control others greatly increases, perhaps the entire Galaxy will become their slaves."
