Chapter 1977: The plan begins
"The Returnees program is all set."
We can leave anytime!
"Please give your instructions, Your Majesty." Medusa looked at the mechanical Emperor of the Dragon King beside her, still feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it.
This time, the Returners Project is led by Marshal Medusa's Legion fleet, with her as the primary military commander.
Even with Emperor Xiaolong present, his orders supersede all else.
However, the Emperor X-Dragon will not interfere with the military deployments of military commanders.
Therefore, Medusa still wielded considerable power.
"Let's go," Zhao Chen gave the order to depart.
This fleet of 20 million JF-17 Thunder ships embarked on this journey.
The Imperial Academy of Sciences, having prepared equipment long ago, fired several beams of light at the void in front of the legion's fleet.
When these beams of light hit the void, it was as if they had shattered a piece of glass.
Then, a series of passages appeared.
Marshal Medusa then issued the order to deploy on behalf of Emperor Xiaolong.
One after another, interstellar warships traversed this special spatial passage, heading towards an unknown universe.
It took nearly fifteen minutes for the twenty million interstellar warships to completely clear this airspace.
Inside the highest-security villa in Chang'an City.
On a specially made large bed, Zhao Chen was lying, immersed in his dreams.
Secretary Lilith stared at Zhao Chen on the bed, looking at the instruments monitoring his physical condition beside her.
Although the Imperial Academy of Sciences claimed that this technology was no longer problematic.
But since this concerns the life and safety of the Dragon Emperor, every aspect needs to be considered very comprehensively.
Therefore, Lilith's secretary specially ordered a team to monitor Emperor Xiaolong's physical condition 24 hours a day.
If any value in any of those instruments malfunctions, the connection will be forcibly severed to ensure the safety of the Dragon Emperor.
"How is it?" Grand Marshal Charlotte walked in and looked at Zhao Chen, who was fast asleep on the bed.
"So far there have been no problems, the signal connection is normal, the body is perfectly normal, and the patient is in a deep sleep state," Secretary Lilith said, looking at the instruments.
Then she paused and said, "Didn't you think about trying to persuade him properly before?"
He insisted on going on such a dangerous mission, even though he used this method; there might still be danger involved.
I know that the Machine Race plays a crucial role in the development of our Dragon Star Empire.
If the Machine Race hadn't stepped forward during that period, our Dragon Star Empire might not have been able to develop into what it is today.
However... we also need to take the current situation into account.
We certainly have other, better arrangements.
"Assigning Marshal Medusa to handle this matter personally is perfectly capable of doing so."
Secretary Lilith's words clearly indicated her concern for Zhao Chen's safety.
Grand Marshal Charlotte, standing to the side, smiled helplessly and said, "You know what kind of personality he has."
The mechanical race has made sacrifices and contributions for us.
Because of this, it became his obsession.
He had to go and bring them back in person, otherwise he himself couldn't accept it.
Neither you nor I can persuade him on this matter.
The only thing we can do is make sure everything is safe.
Secretary Lilith glanced helplessly at the sleeping Zhao Chen and gave him a resentful look.
"Is the backup plan ready?"
"The backup plan is ready."
We've also reached an agreement with the Imperial Academy of Sciences; they have prepared sufficient reserves.
If something goes wrong with the operation over there.
"We can mobilize three legion fleets, totaling ten million interstellar warships, for support within three hours," said Grand Marshal Charlotte.
