C360 Hiding and Biding for the Evolution of the Entire Nation
To deal with the impending alien invasion, and to keep the people vigilant and motivated at all times.
The Flame Country had already announced the existence of aliens in an orderly manner, and had even publicized some of the information on Alfano Star.
This method had its pros and cons, but it also had its disadvantages.
The pros were to stimulate the spirit of the people to practice martial arts or study hard, so that the people from Flame Country, who was invincible in the Blue Star, would not get carried away by their complacency, and would not start internal fights because of their invincibility.
However, the disadvantage was that the alien clan was too mysterious and powerful for most people. It also caused many people to feel fear and suppressed.
There were even rumors that the end of the world was about to arrive, causing many people to start giving up on themselves.
However, when Lu Chong drove a real interstellar warship back, this kind of suppression and fear was not completely swept away, but at least it made people see hope.
Aliens can have interstellar warships, and we also have them now. What's there to be afraid of?
Therefore, Elder Zheng's decision, or rather, the silent agreement in the capital, was wise and effective.
When the interstellar battleship returned to the vicinity of the capital, it caused countless people to cheer.
However, the capital was after all an important place in Flame Country, so the warship did not enter the city. Instead, after circling the headquarter city for a week, it landed in the military fortress at the outskirts of the capital.
Here, there were already high ranking military officials in charge of welcoming them. There were also Lee Qianqiu, Wang Qinghan, Chao Yangsheng, and a few other famous figures waiting here.
Apart from these few representative figures, there was also the top research team in Flame Country. Their eyes had already turned red as they waited for a long time.
"Unbelievable!"
"This is simply a technological product that has surpassed several eras of ours. It is truly hard to imagine."
The 'madmen' of the research team did not wait for Lu Chong and the others to walk out of the battleship. They rushed forward like a swarm of bees and surrounded the battleship. It was as if they had seen a beautiful old pervert.
The desire in their eyes was hard for Lu Chong to understand.
As for Lu Chong, the hero who drove back to the battleship, he was directly ignored by the scientists.
"I have already given Elder Zheng the authority to control this warship. In the future, we will leave it here to provide research." Lu Chong said to Lee Qianqiu and the military chief who came forward to welcome him.
"There is also a complete set of planetary defense weapons system. I will give it to Elder Zheng as well."
"Good, good!" Lee Qianqiu was also very excited. He personally welcomed Lu Chong and the others into the secret room not far away.
Their purpose of this trip was not only to welcome Lu Chong, but also to hear about the situation in Silver Star Realm.
In the secret chamber, Lu Chong once again narrated what he had seen and heard, especially the conflicts between the God Clan and the other races.
In order to arouse more suspicion, Lu Chong also explained what had happened to the Space Rending Rat Clan.
In the secret room, there was a wave of suppressed silence. Even the joy of having just obtained a supreme grade warship had been washed away by the environment of Silver Star Realm described by Lu Chong.
"In that case, we really shouldn't enter Silver Star Realm too early." After a long silence, Lee Qianqiu took the initiative to speak.
He represented the decision-making level of the capital and also the person with the most right to speak.
"That's right. With our current strength and foundation, we really don't have the slightest ability to compete and protect ourselves in Silver Star Realm."
Elder Zheng echoed, "Furthermore, even if we can develop and replicate this type of battleship and planet defense system in the shortest amount of time, it is still far from enough."
"In that place, the mutated species that possess cutting-edge technology and weapons are merely the vassals of God Clan."
"Even the only god among the mutated ones is slightly inferior to the other gods."
Lu Chong heaved a sigh of relief and said affirmatively, "I still have the same idea. Without the presence of the gods, even if we take back the kid planet, we will not be able to defend it."
"The more powerful the performance, the more likely we will be suppressed by the God Clan."
Lee Qianqiu nodded and said, "That's right. That senior who sealed the wormhole in the Blue Star, didn't he also reach the realm of Venerable back then? Didn't he still get chased back to the Blue Star and no longer dare to go out?"
"He realized this point, that's why he decided to seal the wormhole."
"So." The military chief said firmly, "We have to guard the wormhole and never allow anyone other than Heaven Master Lu to enter Silver Star Realm."
"But." At this time, Lee Qianqiu looked at Lu Chong and said, "If we hide in Blue Star all the time and deviate from the Star World in Silver Star Realm, will we fall behind more and more?"
"Such a huge pressure can't be placed on you alone."
Lu Chong was prepared for this and said with a smile, "Elder Li, we are not hiding, but keeping a low profile."
"This time, besides bringing back the battleship and the defensive system of the planet, I also found some Supreme Grade Heaven Rank inheritances as well as some secret techniques of the Beginner Venerable."
"Plus, the cultivation environment in Blue Star is getting better and better. I believe that our individual cultivation speed here will not slow down."
Lu Chong said confidently, "One day, when one of us breaks through to the Divine Level, it will naturally be the time for the Flame Country to take over the Silver Star Realm."
"Alright!" Lee Qianqiu shouted out loudly, "With your words, we will be much more at ease."
"Gods are heartless. We will create our own gods. One day, we will be able to take back the kid planet that belongs to us."
"The Flame Country will do its best to develop the products of the Silver Star Realm that you have brought back. I believe we will have a chance to catch up with them."
"As for the cultivation aspect, it will not fall behind."
"Don't worry. The country will never let you face all the pressure alone. As long as it is beneficial to the development of the country and the needs of your cultivation, we will support you with all our strength." Lee Qianqiu said seriously.
"Thank you, Elder Lee." Lu Chong smiled and said, "If there is a need, I will not be polite."
As Elder Zheng had said, if Flame Country wanted to become a powerful interstellar country, Lu Chong could not do it alone. He needed the support of everyone.
Furthermore, Flame Country also needed to become stronger as a whole.
Otherwise, once the alien clan, such as Alfano Star, or even stronger planets discovered the coordinates of space, Lu Chong alone would not be able to defend it.
"But as the pioneer, you must pay attention to your own safety. Don't force yourself." Lee Qianqiu stressed again.
"Right." Lee Qianqiu asked again, "How long are you going to stay this time? It's not easy for you to come home, so you should stay for a while longer."
"The capital has already prepared the best cultivation environment for you. No one will disturb you."
That's right, it felt really good to go home.
After a moment of trance, Lu Chong said, "I really need to stay here for a few days because I want to break through to the supreme level here."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked once again.
How long had Lu Chong been gone for? He was going to break through to the true Venerable from the emperor level?!
After the shock, everyone's spirits were once again lifted.
Breaking through was good. With the battleship and the outer space defense line, what they lacked the most now was individual powerhouses.
And Lu Chong was where this hope lay.1
