Chapter 865: American Doomsday A New Breed of Soldier Brought About by a Microwave Donkey

  Looking up at the starry sky, Tang Dynasty finally believed that human beings on Earth are not the only intelligent life in the universe.

  Three minutes ago, the intergalactic explorer Fei, who claimed to be from the third universe of Kepo star system, irresponsibly threw Tang Dynasty into the shores of Lop Nur Lake in Xinjiang in 1912 and drove the interstellar spaceship "Explorer" which took nearly a hundred years to repair, and set foot on the journey back to his hometown star system with a homing arrow, without caring whether Tang Dynasty was willing to stay alone in this completely strange time and space.

  The Tang Dynasty clearly remembered that he was driving his beloved Dongfeng Warrior at high speed on the salt flats of Lop Nur, experiencing the thrill of being an adventurer in the forbidden zone of life. Who would have thought that without any warning, he would be sucked into a black hole that suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then traversed through time and space for a hundred years.

  The drivers and donkeys in the other four Hummer off-road vehicles in the same fleet as Tang Dynasty were not as lucky as Tang Dynasty. According to the words of that alien Fei Er, after being sucked into the black hole, these people, along with their cars, were decomposed into the most basic molecules in the universe. In simple terms, they all evaporated into dust.

  As for why the Tang Dynasty was able to survive, even Fei'er couldn't explain it clearly. But the Tang Dynasty itself knew that it was the string of heavenly pearls given by an unnamed living Buddha he met at Potala Palace in Tibet before entering the border that saved his life.

  The Tianzhu on Tang's left wrist suddenly transformed into a protective light shield that enveloped his entire body, safeguarding him as he drifted through the turbulent timestream until he was sucked into Fei'er's spaceship and escaped the black hole safely.

  The perpetrator, an alien named Ferl, didn't even give the still-shaken Tang Dynasty a chance to ask questions or demand compensation. Instead, he hastily explained the cause of this "traffic accident" to Tang Dynasty and then forcibly had him sign what Ferl called an "Interstellar Compensation Agreement of the Third Cosmos". He left behind a repair bay, four intelligent engineering robots, and then quickly sent the still-dazed Tang Dynasty out of the spaceship. Meanwhile, Ferl, the perpetrator, drove his ship away from Earth's gravitational pull and into space, as if he was afraid that Tang Dynasty would catch up with him and cause trouble.

  From being accidentally sucked into a black hole, to entering Fer's spaceship, and then being sent down from the spaceship by Fer, watching with his own eyes as that magical spaceship flew into space and disappeared without a trace, Tang Dynasty was in a state of "stunned confusion". It can be said that since being rescued by Fer onto the spaceship, Tang Dynasty had been like a wooden puppet, completely at the mercy of this alien's manipulation. Just when Tang Dynasty finally came back to his senses, this damned alien had already irresponsibly abandoned him alone in a valley near Lop Nur and escaped on his own.

  Pulling his gaze back from the night sky, he slowly closed his eyes and forced himself to take several deep breaths. Tang Dynasty was silently warning himself that he must calm down now, as blaming heaven and others would be of no use and would only make his mood worse.

  Before traveling to Lop Nur, Tang had searched online for a lot of information about Lop Nur. As for the claim in those materials that there are connection points with different cosmic spaces deep within Lop Nur, Tang naturally wouldn't believe it and just took it as a joke, not taking it seriously at all. Who would have thought that such an unpredictable strange event would actually happen to him?

  Regarding the rumors that there is an alien base hidden underground in Robo, I've heard many versions of it during the Tang Dynasty. Now that I've personally experienced the facts, it seems that all the legends are not without reason, and there must be a cause for every incident.

  Calmly, Tang Dynasty began to recall every detail of his face-to-face encounter with the alien Ferre.

  According to Veer, this incident of crossing time and space was completely an accident. Veer did not expect that when he piloted the spaceship to prepare for a spatial jump to leave Earth, it would trigger a spatial turbulence and a spacetime black hole.

  This black hole sucked in all the matter within a hundred square kilometers of the center of Lop Nur, and like the other unlucky ones in Tang's party, another three groups of nearly fifty tourists were also drawn into it. Their ending was naturally the same as that of Tang's companions, all turning to dust and disappearing in the chaotic flow of space. Only Tang, this lucky one, not only survived but also came back to Lop Nur a hundred years ago with the reversal of the Earth's time.

  What was the Earth like in 1912, what was China's situation in 1912, the Tang Dynasty is now too busy to care about it. What the Tang Dynasty wants to figure out now is how much benefit they can get from that so-called Third Cosmic Interstellar Compensation Agreement that Fei Er forced him to sign.

  He glanced at the maintenance cabin about five meters away from his side, which looked a bit like a conventional submarine. Tang Dynasty took another deep breath and followed the operation method taught by Ferl to come to the entrance of the maintenance cabin. He raised his right hand and pressed it on the fingerprint scanner, saying in as calm a tone as possible: "I am Tang Dynasty, open the maintenance cabin."

  A ring of shallow green light swept through Tang Dynasty's right palm, followed by this green light along Tang Dynasty's right arm to Tang Dynasty's head, and then scanned from head to toe once.

  The seemingly seamless repair compartment silently opened a one-meter-wide, two-meter-high entrance, followed by a cold mechanical voice: "Welcome, sir. According to the authorization of Lord Ferr, Intelligent No. 3 is at your service."

  Looking back at the cabin door closing silently, the precise craftsmanship that was airtight made Tang Dynasty subconsciously stretch out his hand to touch the cabin door, and then tap around with his fingers to listen for the sound.

  As a senior engineer at Southern Airlines Power Machinery Company, Tang Dynasty faced the magical alien technology with an expression similar to that of a hungry person staring at a mouth-watering roasted chicken.

  However, the icy smooth feeling transmitted between his fingers and the silent result of the knock made it impossible for Tang to judge what kind of metal material the cabin was made of.

  Guided by the harsh mechanical voice of "Intelligent No. 3", Tang Chao passed through three alloy gates and entered a command control room with an area of about twenty square meters.

  The four walls of the control room seemed to be entirely composed of LCD screens, with strings of Tang Dynasty characters that were incomprehensible to him scrolling down from top to bottom on the displays around him.

  On the largest screen in the middle, there is currently an image of a person with a face identical to that of the Tang Dynasty, expressionless and emitting a slightly piercing electronic synthesized voice: "Welcome to the command room, the entire maintenance cabin, including four intelligent engineering robots, twelve engineering robots, from now on, all listen to your command."

  "Can't we get in touch with that damned Ferrel now!?" Tang Dynasty stared at the image of the person who looked like his twin brother, his face expressionless, and asked through gritted teeth.

  "As you wish." Intelligent Number Three bowed humanely in the direction of Tang Dynasty and then switched the screen.

  In about three seconds, the screen turned into the cockpit of a spaceship. The big-headed, bald, big-eyed, pointed-eared, blue-skinned creature sitting in the central cockpit was not Fer or someone!

  "Haha, Mr. Tang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Felix raised his right hand with the high-footed wine glass and toasted Tang from afar, saying with a smile: "I have to say that you Earthlings really know how to enjoy yourselves, this red wine gets better and better with every sip."

  "I'm not interested in discussing what wine is or isn't, Mr. Ferrell! Don't you think it's utterly immoral and rude to abandon me on Earth in 1912 without any responsibility?" Tang Dynasty's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at the alien in front of him, his voice almost a roar.

  "No, no, no, Mr. Tang," Fei smiled elegantly and shook his head slightly. "Since we've already signed the compensation agreement and I've fulfilled my obligations according to it, then I don't owe you anything anymore, nor do I have any reason to take on any more responsibilities or duties. As I explained before, this was just an accident that couldn't be controlled by my personal willpower. Even if I wanted to send you back to 21st century China now, I don't have the capability to do so."

  "This is a tyrannical agreement, you didn't even ask for my personal consent!" Tang Chao rushed to the screen in agitation, bellowing again like thunder, spitting out saliva stars that splattered everywhere on the screen. "I want to go home, I don't want to play this crossing thing, let me go back! Let me go back!"

  "Calm down, calm down, Mr. Tang." Fei Xian smiled with a gentlemanly demeanor: "In your Chinese way of speaking, since you've come, then make the best of it. Reality is like rape - if you can't resist, then just enjoy it. Even if this time-traveling hadn't happened, the planet where you live would still be facing a crisis of destruction. In fact, you should thank me on behalf of all Earth's humans, because I've brought hope for the rebirth of civilization to your Earth humans."

  "It's none of my business if the world is destroyed or not!" Tang Dynasty rolled his eyes, "If we're all going to be finished, then so be it. Anyway, I've never had a single thing go as I wanted in this lifetime."

  "A prolonged war, excessive waste of resources, the planet you Earth humans inhabit is actually exhausting its life force. The prophecies about the end of the world on Earth are not lies." Fei's eyes became deep and he sighed, saying: "If it weren't for the fact that Earth was about to self-destruct, I wouldn't have been so anxious and hasty, leaving without fully preparing and launching the spaceship. As for why you were brought back to a hundred years ago on Earth, perhaps it's because your planet's guardian deity wanted to give you humans another chance at rebirth."

  Mr. Tang, cherish this rare opportunity! As compensation, I have left you the basic technology of the second universe's secondary and tertiary civilizations. I believe that with a hundred years' time, you should be able to help humanity on Earth achieve a leap from a primary civilization in the first universe to an advanced civilization in the second universe.

  "I remember you said you were from the Third Cosmic Kepo Star System, so why didn't you directly give me the technological civilization of the Third Cosmos?" Tang Dynasty asked thoughtfully.

  "The evolution of civilization cannot have a discontinuity, otherwise this civilization will find it difficult to sustain even if it evolves." Fei Er said seriously: "When you fly out of the solar system into the galaxy and come into contact with various civilizations in the second universe, you will understand. I won't say more to you, I'm about to make my second space jump. Mr. Tang, good luck, remember that your life is no longer just yours, but belongs to all humans on Earth! You are now living in a chaotic world, so it's most important for you to focus on how to survive."

  Just as Tang Dynasty was about to speak and ask some valuable information, the screen turned into snowflakes and then switched to Intelligent No. 3's cold face like a zombie.

  With a forceful rub of his cheeks, Tang Chao let out a long sigh and gazed at the central display screen, asking: "Intelligent Number Three, what level of authority do I currently possess?"

  "Top priority!" Intelligent Number Three replied crisply: "Including self-destruct orders."

  "I order you to change your expression, I'm looking at it awkwardly now!" Tang Dynasty gave his first command.

  "Commander, what kind of image do you like?" Intelligent Number Three said as it split the screen into thirty-six small blocks, offering a variety of appearances to choose from, including males and females, old and young, and even cartoon characters.

  "Let's go with image 27!" After careful selection, Tang chose the cartoon image of Kung Fu Panda as the new image for Intelligent No. 3.

  "Is renaming necessary, Commander?" became Kung Fu Panda's Intelligent No. 3 and became more vivid and lovely.

  "Call me Little Cat." Tang Chao thought for a moment and replied: "And stop calling me Commander, call me Boss from now on."

  "Yes, system update is complete." Intelligent No. 3 gave a somewhat awkward military salute to Tang Chao, "Boss, any further instructions?"

  "Is this place safe?" Tang Chao asked with a concentrated expression: "When that guy Fer started the spaceship, he made quite a commotion."

  "With the current technology on Earth, it is impossible to detect Lord Feller's spaceship." The kitten said with certainty: "Even if the indigenous people around Robo Lake saw it, they would only think it was a divine spirit. We are now in a valley in the northern part of the Alkin Mountains, which is a basin with an area of 3,478.96 square kilometers. Before the space-time leap, this was Lord Feller's carefully crafted fortress base, 1,200 meters underground, with a total construction area of 9.7 square kilometers. It's just that all of this has returned to zero now, and we need to start rebuilding from scratch."

  "If I didn't misunderstand, you're saying that the base where Ferrel repaired his spaceship was once here?" Tang Dynasty asked with great interest.

  "Yes, boss." The kitten nodded and replied: "Lord Ferr was on an interstellar expedition when he encountered a space turbulence, causing damage to the spaceship. He made an emergency landing here and after careful examination of the surrounding terrain, decided to build a base using the simple equipment and engineering robots in the repair bay. It took almost 100 years to gather enough materials and energy to repair the ship."

  Recalling the enormous disc-shaped spaceship with a diameter of almost one kilometer, Tang Dynasty let out a long sigh. "I didn't expect that Fer would hide on Earth for a hundred years. Xiao Mao, are the legends about flying saucers on Earth related to this guy?"

  "Yes, sir." The kitten replied without hesitation: "Due to the needs of base construction, Lord Ferr needs to systematically collect and sort out the technology of Earth's humans, and also occasionally go out to other places to collect rare metal materials for synthesis."

  Tang Dynasty habitually patted his upper garment pocket, fortunately, the protective cover formed by Tianzhu not only allowed Tang Dynasty to retain a life in the chaotic flow of time and space, but also preserved the outdoor donkey guest special suit he was wearing intact.

  Tang Dynasty pulled out a pack of Furongwang cigarettes from his pocket, which was still more than half full. He took one out and put it in the corner of his mouth, then lit it with a Zippo lighter. After taking two strong puffs, he narrowed his eyes and began to ponder.

  According to Xiao Mao, Fei had spent nearly a hundred years building an underground base specifically for interstellar spacecraft maintenance and repair, based on the equipment and engineering robots in this repair bay.

  I don't have a spaceship in my hand, so it's necessary to reposition the function of the base.

  The Earth in 1912 was an era of great power industrial technology explosion, with major powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States. Two years later, the outbreak of World War I not only severely damaged the national strength of the world's powers, but also led to a massive development of heavy industry and light industry in these countries.

  The newly born Republic of China had a good opportunity to take advantage of the chaos during World War I, but the Beiyang government led by Yuan Shikai and the Revolutionary Party led by Sun Yat-sen fought each other to the death for power in the new China, causing endless wars and divisions across the land. This wasted the chance for China to step onto the world political stage.

  The farewell gift of the alien Fei Er seems to be grasping the opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to integrate and reorganize the major powers on Earth, allowing all humanity to form a unified force to promote the development and upgrading of Earth's civilization.

  Unfortunately, this guy Fer is just talking big and unifying the earth to form a federal government, is this something that humans can do? It seems like even Jehovah himself couldn't accomplish it!

  Tang Dynasty absolutely belongs to the kind of person with self-awareness, very clear that relying on his own political wisdom, it's hard to unify the newly born Republic of China, let alone make a country with almost zero industrial foundation like China fight against world powers like the US, UK, France, Germany and the Soviet Union at the same time. Except for the already deceased Empress Dowager Cixi, Tang Dynasty believes that there is no god in China who dares to have such audacity.

  Farewell, this alien thought that giving the Tang Dynasty a high-tech base would allow the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world, but he didn't know that no matter what kind of technology it is, it ultimately has to be implemented through people, and in the minds of the Tang Dynasty, the most troublesome thing in the world is not developing science and technology, but how to deal with people.

  Thirty-two years of life experience have made Tang Dynasty deeply understand a truth: the human heart is the most complicated thing, and what's most terrifying in this world is the human heart!

  Thinking of the difficult question Fei gave him, Tang couldn't help but clutch his head in agony.

  Live well and survive, this is Fei Er's parting advice.

  From 1912 to 2012, there has never been a peaceful day on earth. And from 1912 to 1972, these sixty years can be said to be the most chaotic and disorderly sixty years in China!

  How can one survive in this chaotic era where human life is as fragile as grass, Tang Dynasty pondered left and right but couldn't find the key.

  "Boss, shall we start building the base on the spot?" The little cat blinked its black bear-like eyes and asked seriously, interrupting Tang Dynasty's reverie.

  "There's no need to follow the old procedure." Tang Dynasty pinched the cigarette butt with his right thumb and index finger, taking a few fierce puffs as he spoke, exhaling light blue smoke: "Kitty, let's take 2012 Earth technology as our foundation, and appropriately integrate the second and third cosmic civilization technologies you can use. First, design, plan, and build the base as an inner space military fortress, with safety first. We need to solidify our own nest before considering other things."
