Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 882 - 882: Section 875 - Civilization Ark Plan

Beep! ~

Adam: Crystal Energy Jet Engine plan analysis complete, loading into database.

Listening to others and eating well, now that's a good AI.

System: Beep! ~ Obtained unknown model Crystal Energy Jet Engine blueprint, please name the model!

Huh?! ~

Chen Fei thought "Adam" had a brain freeze and had to split one sentence into two. He looked closely and saw that damn Dog System also changed its prompt sound.

What a rotten taste, the Dog System is really a dog, definitely doing it on purpose.

The worst part about the Dog System is it's like pulling teeth to get a response, it'll play dead and suddenly jump up, then run off after showing off, you can't hit it, scolding it does nothing, it doesn't give any extra reaction, its face as thick as the Earth's crust.

Chen Xiao'er had no choice but to grudgingly rename the newly obtained and successfully analyzed Crystal Energy Jet Engine plan, marking the time and version number for debugging records.

He had a hard time driving the Pure Light Sparrows back to their group dormitory (a pile of straw heaped up like a hill), and the bridge space finally became spacious again.

But the bird droppings everywhere were unavoidable, after all, managing the sky and the earth, you can't control the sparrows' butts.

The sky will rain, birds will defecate, what can you do?

He scraped a layer of the floor, gathered all the filth together, wrapped it in a thin layer of aluminum foil, and let it sink through layers of floor into the sea below, where it would naturally degrade cleanly within two months.

There's no helping the "defecation" of a spaceship that houses three thousand sparrows.

The once noisy bridge quickly quieted down.

Chen Fei glanced at the ongoing bickering in the online meeting and had no interest in listening to the nonsense any longer. He walked toward the bridge's main entrance.

"Hey, hey, where are you going?"

Miyoshi Monk, who was showing off his tea ceremony skills with a small tea stove, abandoned the unlit walnut charcoal and quickly chased after.

"To build the Crystal Jet Engine!"

Chen Fei already had one foot out the hatch when he stopped suddenly.

Inside the massive spaceship, it was not just him and Miyoshi Monk, and the S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown, who might be lying around somewhere; there were quite a few more people.

People were coming and going in the main corridor, several cabins had people in and out, making the place very lively.

"Adam, map the human distribution in the first combined frigate, mark in red, then map the mechanical beings' distribution, mark in blue, and display a 3D structural diagram."

Chen Fei immediately issued the command to the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam."

A transparent structural diagram of the combined frigate appeared, showing originally empty cabins now utilized: some set up with beds and bathrooms becoming dormitories, some turned into dining halls with pots, pans, and tables to accommodate four hundred people dining simultaneously, some had gaming and movie systems, becoming recreational areas, and some equipped with various devices, serving different functions.

A large number of red dots (humans) and blue dots (mechanical beings) were spread throughout one-tenth of the cabins, trying to fill the previously idle space.

Oh, my!

Before, there were only a little over a hundred people, all risking their lives to accompany Chen Fei to Emerald Star, bringing their provisions and tents. Now, having returned safely without a single casualty, they did not disband and go home. Instead, more people joined.

In the blink of an eye, the 600-meter-long spaceship now had at least over 500 people inside, along with over 2000 various models of mechanical beings also busy, and nearly 100 transportation vehicles.

What are they trying to do?

"So many people!"

Even Miyoshi Xuesen, who had just recently boarded the combined frigate, was equally astonished.

How, in such a short time, did so many people come aboard?

"You didn't know?"

Chen Fei looked at Miyoshi Xuesen with doubt; this mischievous monk didn't know?

"I really didn't know! Ask the Command Center."

Miyoshi Monk quickly shook his head like a rattle drum, not daring to take the blame, especially since he honestly didn't know.

"Command Center, what's going on with my spaceship?"

The Command Center, established in Hablav City, had now become the frontline command against the parasitic invasion, making Chen Fei's query very appropriate.

A communications officer responded truthfully: "The staff team initially recommended retaining the combined frigate and conscripted crews to supplement functional departments and units."

The hastily assembled Command Center hadn't even consulted Chen Fei, treating him and other Ability Users and combat units as completely under their control.

As a tool person, why bother with too many procedures for efficiency?

"I have 'Adam' and combat mechs already; I don't need so many people."

Chen Fei didn't understand. A life-support system for a hundred or so people didn't demand much: just maintaining water, electricity, oxygen levels, pressure, temperature, and radiation shielding in a few cabins would suffice. Even in a battle that ripped open the entire spaceship, the empty cabins' battle damage was inconsequential.

But with several hundred, even a thousand humans onboard, the life-support system's pressure would increase geometrically, demanding additional functionality.

Relaying from the Command Center, the communications officer said: "You cannot fully rely on 'Adam' and the mechs; you need redundancy for emergencies. Besides living support staff, we've arranged for you a tactical staff team, navigation and communication team, medical team, a quick-response combat team, a mini metallurgy and mechanical processing center, an electronics and automation technology team, totaling 1341 individuals. Most importantly, if Blue Star completely falls, your airship will be the Ark of Blue Star Humanity."

Frankly, not just the Command Center, but the entire Blue Star Global United Defense Committee didn't fully trust the AI "Adam" that almost caused a major disaster.

Based on the island effect, in an isolated environment, only a hundred people with no kinship can ensure human species continuity. Chen Fei's Metal Elemental Psychic Power and Space Series Ability can sustain independence for his lifetime, even longer with other Ability Users' help, allowing the 600-meter-long ark to escape the Solar System and search for habitable planets.

If lucky, they might find a planet suitable for life, or at worst, gradually terraform planet-like bodies to make them sustainable for life.

"Ark?"

Chen Fei realized the last word was the key point.

Oh, my. His airship turned into "Noah's Ark." Even if it's for precaution, it's a bit premature. The situation hasn't deteriorated to that extent.

Honestly, as long as the Blue Star Humans' S-Class Ability Users remain, the extraterrestrial invaders turning Blue Star civilization into a buffet won't be easy.

Moreover, Blue Star Civilization had prepared: enough stock of Element Annihilation Bombs specifically for the parasitic species, full production lines, and preemptive clearing of hidden "Seed Nests" on Blue Star. They weren't caught off-guard like the calamity in Mr. Randon's "previous life," losing the initiative and resulting in near extinction, rendering Blue Star Civilization helpless.

"'Rookie'! I'll send you the list now."

The communications officer swiftly completed the data transmission, saving Chen Fei the hassle of having "Adam" collect on-site data.

After screening and collating the list, it turned out the preliminary list included 1341 people, all under 30, with a gender ratio of 2:3, mostly females. Both males and females passed health checks, had no genetic diseases three generations back, were mentally fit, and fertile, specifically selected for species reproduction.

"Monk, you're a stud too!"

Chen Fei teased the monk after reading the statistics and reports Adam prepared.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Miyoshi Xuesen put his palms together piously.

Don't be fooled by his appearance, he's a wine-and-meat monk by family tradition, not adhering to those precepts.
