Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1094 - 426: The Angel Envoy in Disguise

Before the "net" malfunctioned, Source Star was actually able to maintain barely sufficient communication with the Mechanical Empire's home base.

With the enhancement of the "net's" Ghost Particle Communication Technology, Source Star and the Empire exchanged packets of data roughly once every day.

The content of these data packets mainly included the hash value computations of the universe packaged by the "net," as well as the periodic development reports of Source Star compiled by the "net."

The report covered a wide range, including aspects such as economy, military, technology, and humanities.

Relying on the omnipresent surveillance and observation of the "net," the Mechanical Empire had comprehensive knowledge of all production colonies, including Source Star.

However, later on there was an unexpected malfunction in the "net," and communication between Source Star and the Mechanical Empire was forcibly interrupted.

In fact, restoring electromagnetic communication was originally part of the resurrection plan.

Unluckily, the true person in charge of the resurrection plan happened to be Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong was fully aware of this.

A year or two after the internet was cut off, when Ren Zhong's internship career as a Pu Cha official was halfway through, Ma Xiaocheng utilized the principles of electromagnetic communication that Ren Zhong had contemplated within the resurrection plan to expand into a large space radio transmitter and receiver, attempting to establish external contact as per the frozen Elder's request.

In a certain sense, communication was restored, but it actually failed.

The reason was simple: electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light.

To have the information reach the central Star Gate at the empire's frontier requires seven years.

To receive a transmission back from the empire, another seven years is needed.

Including both trips, each communication extends the time interval to fourteen years.

The other implication of this information is that the frozen Elders temporarily have no way to use communication to verify Ren Zhong's identity as the Imperial Apostle.

About five minutes ago, Ren Zhong sent a message to the White Sphere using the Waterdrop Shuttle, according to Ying Feng's method.

This message was not the Apostle Code but a preliminary validation technique.

According to the laws of the Mechanical Empire, upon receiving this code, both parties are obligated to avoid direct conflict to further confirm each other's identity.

Along with the flickering of a halo, the massive White Sphere reappeared in front of Ren Zhong, but without the plasma beam cannon opening. A direct entry exit around fifty meters in diameter opened on the surface of the White Sphere.

A liquid metal faceless figure slowly floated out from within and hovered directly in front of Ren Zhong's Waterdrop Shuttle. From the faceless figure's flight trajectory, it could be inferred that the White Sphere had not engaged the thin film force field.

The war machine that had killed Ren Zhong countless times astonishingly performed a welcoming gesture like a human.

Through the transparent cover of the shuttle, Ren Zhong nodded to the robot and then piloted the shuttle to follow the faceless figure into the interior of the White Sphere.

An electronic voice sounded in the communication device.

"Hello, I am Tracer Number 154332, the artificial intelligence assistant. The staff is currently being unfrozen; I will be your host."

With an expressionless face, Ren Zhong only nodded slightly without responding, maintaining a high and cold demeanor.

"Please present your identity verification code."

The electronic voice asked again.

Ren Zhong nodded once more, closed his eyes, and activated the neural synchronization system, mentally repeating a long sequence of Apostle Code before having it converted to electromagnetic signal by the shuttle's communication device and transmitted out.

"Okay, the code has been received, please wait a moment. The staff will reply to you in ten minutes."

As soon as the electronic prompt ended, Ren Zhong's shuttle had already docked at a delicate dock alongside the liquid metal faceless figure.

The shuttle's hatch opened, Ren Zhong activated the gravity traction device concealed within his shoulder locks, slowly floated out, and landed on the ground.

The next second, the floor in front of him opened, and a luxurious sofa rose from below the ground.

In front of the sofa was a tea table made of unknown wood.

Behind the tea table stood a beautiful woman with oriental features, skillfully brewing Kung Fu tea.

Although the woman looked lifelike and genuine, Ren Zhong instantly recognized her as a half-mechanical bionic person.

Behind the bionic person, four Frozen Storages stood.

At this moment, the emergency defrost countdown was displayed on the digital control panels of these Frozen Storages.

White mist was rising from inside the Frozen Storages, shrouding the four naked women with oriental faces within.

Despite the obscured view due to the mist, Ren Zhong could still recognize the outline of incredibly beautiful women inside the Frozen Storages.
