Chapter 247 Arrival on the Cancer Ark

"Not only that, this plant is not aggressive! Their huge size and strange body composition make it basically free of predators."

"Plus its ability to purify and gather rare minerals, no civilization should harm it, so it has only evolved the instinct to avoid danger, just like what we just saw!" Xiaocao explained, worried that Shen Yahui would think too much.

"Very good! Send out some mining vehicles. We need to obtain some resources to repair the antenna array and verify whether this plant is really non-aggressive!" Shen Yahui nodded and ordered.

The mining vehicle's collection mission was extremely smooth. Even when dozens of huge plant tentacles were cut off during mining, there was no retaliation. Perhaps for this huge plant, it was like a cell dying in a human body without any perception.

After finding that there was no problem, Fangzhou sent 80% of the mining vehicles out to collect resources.

With the influx of these new resources, Fangzhou's repair work progressed faster and faster, and there was no need to dismantle useless parts and refining metals.

Sixty days later, a small town appeared around the Ark. More than 100,000 white villas stood around the Ark. Each villa could accommodate ten colonists. More than one million people who had awakened on the Ark all moved into the small town outside the Ark.

After sixty days of rapid development, with the blessing of a large amount of minerals, the mining team and construction robots of the Ark expanded crazily, which has increased five times compared with before. This small town was built in sixty days with the help of these construction robots.

On the Ark in the middle of the town, a huge new antenna array was erected at the tail of the Ark!

The new antenna is more than a thousand meters high and pierces the sky. This antenna array is the hyperspace signal transmitter used to communicate with the Empire.

"Captain, do you want to start the signal transmitter?" The staff member in front of Shen Yahui put his hand on the switch push rod.

"Turn it on. We haven't been in contact with the Empire for hundreds of years. I guess the Empire thinks we have all died." Shen Yahui smiled at the corner of his mouth. He was imagining the shocked expressions of those people in the Empire Command!

"The signal transmitter is activated!" As the staff reported loudly, the staff pushed the push rod in his hand to the end of the console.

As the signal transmitter flashed blue light, the symbol representing the connection with the Empire turned green.

"Captain, we have established a connection with the Empire!" The staff said happily. At this moment, they seemed like lost children who finally found their home. The excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

"Very good, connect to the communication with the Empire Command!" Shen Yahui stood in front of the communicator with forced calmness.

Chi Chi Chi. Chi Chi Chi With a busy tone of poor signal, Li Mingze's figure in power armor appeared on the display.

"Long live His Majesty!" Shen Yahui saluted hurriedly.

Li Mingze nodded, looking at the excitement and eagerness of the Ark members in his eyes, a little puzzled.

Then Li Mingze looked down at the list of the Ark maintenance personnel marked on the tablet in his hand, and his puzzled eyes became heavier.

"Your Majesty, our Cancer Ark has returned to the Empire after losing contact with it for 550 years! We have found a perfect colonization point! The colonization work has been carried out smoothly!" Shen Yahui reported loudly with his back straight.

"What's the matter with 550 years? You have only been on the road for three years!"

"I was just about to ask why you have lost contact with the Empire for a full 61 days, and you have found a perfect colonization point? You are far away from the target point, okay?" Li Mingze was confused.

"Impossible, we have been on the road for 553 years!"

"We finally broke out of the wormhole and landed on this planet 60 days ago. This settlement is perfect. We have sent the new coordinates back to the Empire!" Shen Yahui was also a little puzzled.

"Look for yourself, it has only been three years since you set out." Li Mingze lit up the terminal in his hand and brought out the calendar and stretched it to the screen.

"Wait, you broke out of the wormhole." Li Mingze thought of something and quickly enlarged the coordinate map sent by Cancer Ark.

Something shocking happened. The coordinate map showed that the Ark was now at the other end of the Milky Way, 108,000 miles away from the coordinate point he marked.

"I know why you said that more than 500 years have passed! Send the navigation log over!" Li Mingze rubbed his temple.

"Okay!" Shen Yahui hurriedly asked his men to send the navigation log back to the empire.

Li Mingze reached out and opened the received log and began to browse it. The more he flipped back, the weirder his expression became.

"I know what happened. The day the Empire lost contact with you was the day you entered the wormhole."

"Your Ark accidentally flew into a wormhole containing a space-time bubble. The time in the wormhole is 200,000 times faster than outside."

"We lost contact for 61 days in reality. Excluding the 60 days you spent in the wormhole, it means that the time from your entry to your exit from the wormhole is only one day in our reality!"

"But for you, it was more than 500 years."

"During these 500 years, you crossed the entire galaxy! You ran to the other end of the galaxy!" Li Mingze paced back and forth excitedly.

"Wait, I'll go there myself!" Li Mingze said and hung up the communication.

A few minutes later, in the Ark's dedicated landing room, Li Mingze sat up from the hibernation chamber.

He took the towel prepared by the robot and wiped it carefully. After putting on the power armor, he walked out of the Advent Room.

"Long live His Majesty!" The guards waiting on both sides of the Advent Room saluted and shouted, looking at Li Mingze with eyes full of admiration and eagerness. Although they have lived in isolation for more than ten years, their loyalty to Li Mingze has not diminished at all.

Li Mingze nodded, walked towards the bridge of the Ark, took the high-speed magnetic train in the bridge, and arrived outside the bridge dozens of minutes later.

Many staff members who had been waiting for a long time and Shen Yahui saluted and saluted,

"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Empire!" The deafening shouts went straight to the sky.

"It is an honor for us to have your presence in person, Your Majesty!" Shen Yahui hurriedly came up to greet him.

"Prepare detailed information about this planet for me, and the information about the planetary vine you mentioned!" Li Mingze nodded and sat on a chair beside him.

"Your Majesty, I have connected to the Ark's system. Now all the equipment of this new colony is back under our control!" Tianyi's voice sounded in Li Mingze's mind.

The reason why he was so confident in letting the four Arks develop independently without fear of betrayal was that as long as the equipment was made by or developed from the Empire's technology, Tianyi could easily control it, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was part of Tianyi.

After all the equipment of the lost Ark was brought under the control of the Empire again, Li Mingze could finally develop this new colony with peace of mind.

He had a huge (evil) plan in mind. If this plan was implemented smoothly, hehe.

"Your Majesty, this is the information you want." Shen Yahui handed the prepared information to Li Mingze.
