Chapter 1609: Chapter 601: Zheng Tian’s Afterglow_3

Zheng Tian did not immediately and dramatically change Ying Zhenshan’s setup; she mostly kept it, only subtly repositioned troops and occasionally assembled elite new Viper Fighters into a special corps, making changes suddenly when Ren Zhong returned for rest, and began weaving an external communications relay network.

Not only that, but when Ren Zhong’s flagship was repaired and he planned to head back to the front lines, he unexpectedly discovered that he had been stripped of his ship’s control rights.

Ren Zhong couldn’t hold back any longer and proactively sent a message to Zheng Tian.

His message seemed to vanish like a stone in the sea, as Zheng Tian was unmoved.

At this point, since Sun Ai had cut off contact again, Ren Zhong did not know whether Zheng Tian had not received his message or was deliberately ignoring him.

Ren Zhong decided to switch to a small airship and head to the command ship, determined to inquire face-to-face.

"Zheng Tian, what exactly are you trying to do?"

In the bridge of the command ship, Ren Zhong stood with his hands behind his back in front of Zheng Tian, carefully observing the woman who had followed him from the beginning.

At this moment, her gaze was a bit unfocused because she was simultaneously scanning a large amount of information within her retinas while her brain rapidly calculated.

At the same time, her fingers were moving quickly in the void ahead.

With each swipe, routes for troop deployment, retreat, or firepower strikes, whether long or short, involving forces large or small, were sketched out.

Beside her seat, a display showed that her brain was synchronously issuing multiple commands.

Ren Zhong had been away from this command role for a long time, but he still knew how much pressure this behavior would place on the brain.

At this moment, Zheng Tian had transformed into an immovable mountain, like a pillar supporting the honor and survival of the Red Blade Clan.

In the adjacent sub-combat command chair, Ying Zhenshan was doing similar tasks, unclear whether he was genuinely focused or trying to avoid Ren Zhong’s questioning.

After waiting for a long time, seeing the Vanguard Army and the Red Blade Clan headquarters near the Far Border Star Gate reestablish contact, and sending a bunch of detailed encrypted commands over, Zheng Tian finally exhaled deeply, withdrawing her attention.

She glanced at Ren Zhong in front of her and smiled happily, baring her neat white teeth.

She was indeed a girl who loved beauty.

Although she knew she was already old, she had preserved her teeth with technology, slightly covering some wrinkles and age spots on her face, only leaving her white hair unmanaged, seemingly feeling it looked quite nice this way.

"I knew you would come."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Of course. In the entire clan, I only gave you the highest military command authority, so only you can use me like a real tool. You need to tell me why you’ve detained my warship, delaying my frontline advance."

Zheng Tian thought for a moment and smiled, "Because you’re too unstable. You’re a variable, and I need the frontline’s trajectory to match my plans, so you don’t disrupt my strategy."

A command chair rose from the ground next to Zheng Tian, and Ren Zhong simply sat down, asking, "What strategy?"

"You’ll find out soon enough. Rest assured, within the Red Blade Clan, no one understands your temperament better than us elders. We know you’ve made up your mind and need a victory. Just wait, we’ll bring you a victory. Of course, we can only complete the preparations; whether the final goal is achieved will still depend on your performance."

Hearing her say this, Ren Zhong felt at ease, nodded, began to close his eyes for a nap, and also connected his mind to the combat command system, becoming an observer.

Ren Zhong had a vague feeling in his heart.

Perhaps Zheng Tian was the variable capable of altering the battle’s outcome.

Soon, Ren Zhong understood Zheng Tian’s intentions.

Just as he had seen earlier, Zheng Tian reincorporated the strategy once used by the Source Star Fleet, reestablished communications with the Red Blade Clan headquarters, to transmit relatively clear but sparse encrypted messages back.

Zheng Tian requested the Red Blade Army headquarters at the Far Border Star Gate to awaken Ju Qingmeng.

Currently, many in the administrative management department within the Red Blade Clan were Ju Qingmeng’s disciples.

Ju Qingmeng held extremely high prestige and authority within the clan. At the same time, she was an exceptionally capable productivity management officer.

After Ju Qingmeng awoke, Zheng Tian tasked her to quickly integrate the Red Blade Clan’s and Sun Ai’s scientific research capabilities, simultaneously awakening Yang Misi, also near the Far Border Star Gate.

Upon waking from cryogenic sleep, Yang Misi first came across textual records of new advanced Third Level God’s Particle technology from the Red Blade Academy of Sciences, as well as the latest progress on Yang Misi’s Theory driven by clan members, while also capturing Ren Zhong’s current needs.

Subsequently, Yang Misi activated his mind, comprehensively analyzing all situations to propose a direction for technological breakthroughs.

Yang Misi believed that the improved pseudo-cryogenic technology exclusive to Ren Zhong combined with chain combat weapons loaded on Ren Zhong’s flagship could offer another possibility.

That possibility was transforming these combat chains into an information flow neural network, consuming substantial materials and energy, constructing an enormous cosmic megastructure.

This cosmic megastructure could allow Ren Zhong’s virtually limitless personal strength to burst forth as much as possible. The limitation on Ren Zhong’s personal combat strength has always been his equipment.

If so, the Red Blade Vanguard Corps would have the chance to assassinate a Second Level Mother Empress.

Indeed, at the root, it still relies on Ren Zhong’s personal strength, but before that, the entire Red Blade Clan must risk everything together to complete many preparations.
