The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 228: The Golden Age

After the scream subsided, Ju Ling and Tanya found that they could move again and hurriedly came to Su Chen's side.

At that moment, Su Chen seemed to have just awakened. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled to find two beautiful women staring at him.

"What's wrong with you two?" Su Chen was puzzled.

"Commander, are you alright?" Ju Ling's words were not spoken aloud but transmitted directly through their mental connection.

"Do I look like there's something wrong with me?" Su Chen replied in his mind, causing him to sweat.

Relieved by Commander's response, the two women explained the situation to Su Chen.

Su Chen, not being foolish, quickly realized that he might have been tricked.

The middle-aged man was not as benevolent as he appeared on the surface, which was understandable. Being confined in one place for countless years would drive anyone insane.

He deliberately spoke to Su Chen and acted in that manner to lower Su Chen's guard and allow himself to leave that place. If it weren't for his reliable System, Su Chen might have been possessed by that person.

Su Chen wasn't too surprised by this turn of events. If mental technology developed to a certain extent, humans could free themselves from the confinement of their bodies and survive solely with their consciousness. However, Su Chen felt that if humans became mere clusters of consciousness, could they still be considered humans?

"System, check what's inside the seashell."

"Master, this seashell is just an ordinary seashell. There's nothing inside."

Su Chen's face darkened. As expected, the other party had deceived him. Now that everyone had been killed by the System, where could he find the technology of the Qiluo Civilization?

Just then, the System spoke, "Master, I found the hidden location of all the Qiluo Civilization's technology in the memories of that consciousness."

Su Chen's spirits lifted. Following the System's instructions, he eventually found the real technology of the Qiluo Civilization. Finally, the most important thing in the refuge had been obtained.

Su Chen immediately dispatched a Soldier to occupy the place. After all, it was the last refuge of the Qiluo Civilization, and there might be some good things inside. He entrusted all the technology to Yun Ru for further research.

With so many technologies now, Yun Ru alone was not enough. Su Chen was considering whether to let Yuri enter the combat laboratory for research. After all, Yuri was also a research expert.

However, that thought vanished as soon as Su Chen summoned a new super unit—Libra.

In a state of extreme luck, Su Chen conducted a Platinum version lottery and directly drew a super unit belonging to Yuri's faction, Libra!

Libra, formerly known as Libra, was Yuri's most prized possession. When it came to controlling psychic power, she surpassed even Yuri herself.

Libra was a girl who appeared even more petite than Yun Ru. She had gray-white hair, a cold gaze, and wore black clothing. What intrigued Su Chen the most was the large black machine on her back. What was it?

"Libra reporting to Commander." Libra's introduction was much more formal than Yun Ru's, which put Su Chen at ease.

Just as Su Chen was about to speak, Libra suddenly let out a strange laugh. "Commander, are there enemies? Can I kill them, pretty please?"

In an instant, Su Chen felt that the girl who had seemed cold and emotionless had turned into a maniac with a deranged expression.

Luckily, he knew that none of his troops could harm him under any circumstances. Their loyalty towards him was at its maximum. Otherwise, Su Chen would truly have the urge to run away because Libra's expression was just too eccentric.

Su Chen briefly looked at Libra's information and learned that she was a powerhouse in controlling psychic power. She was also a research maniac and Yuri's most prized possession. He decided to let Yuri take care of Libra and send her to the combat laboratory to study brand-new psychic technologies.

Since Libra already had a good understanding of psychic technology, it was convenient for her to study new psychic techniques, while Yun Ru would focus on mastering the Qiluo Civilization's technology.

Fortunately, these units constructed or summoned by Su Chen had no memories of the original game background. Otherwise, the conflicts between different factions alone would be enough to give Su Chen a headache.

They did know their own identities, but they were unaware of the conflicts they had with other units. All of this was thanks to the power of the System.

There was no problem with the research aspect, but relying solely on Engineers was not enough. Su Chen needed scientists!

It seemed like the System had become more generous recently. When Su Chen was browsing through his units, he discovered a novel pattern in the unit construction area—the name displayed was Scientist!

"What the hell! No good deed goes unpunished! System, what do you want now?" Su Chen asked warily.

System: "???"

I rarely show kindness and give you a benefit, and this is how you treat me?

The next second, the pattern for the Scientist disappeared, and Su Chen instantly felt regret. He had said so many kind words just to get the Scientist back, but he had now lost it again. He vowed never to say such words again.

With the Scientist, the research speed increased. It should be noted that the combat laboratory had little use previously, but during research, it provided many bonuses, which was crucial for Su Chen.

It wasn't just Su Chen's side—humanity as a whole had entered a period of rapid development in the Golden Age.

Nowadays, most humans had become Transcendents. Transcendents were no longer a special group; the Gathering Places outside were very safe, and there had been no incidents of Gathering Places being destroyed.

Not only did the overall strength of humanity improve, but some technologies also advanced.

Su Chen traded some technologies with the Human Emperor, mainly the technologies of ordinary weapons such as the AK-47 and Grizzly tank. These technologies were only a few years ahead of this era. Given time, humans would have invented them eventually.

Su Chen simply accelerated their progress a bit. Naturally, he also obtained a considerable amount of Energy Crystals.

Energy Crystals were still necessary for Su Chen. They were essential for energy conversion and absorption by his subordinates.

Currently, because Su Chen's authority hadn't reached the 8th level, his subordinates who were already at the Eighth Order couldn't rely on his energy to directly increase their strength. They had to rely on themselves to improve, which accelerated the consumption of Energy Crystals.

Regarding Leng Yuwei, Su Chen continued to provide her with energy. Her strength had reached the Seventh Order and she had become a newly promoted Controller.

Unfortunately, in the various Base Cities, being at the early stage of the Seventh Order made her the weakest Controller. She didn't have the qualifications to control a Base City and could only be a Deputy Controller at most.

"Captain Leng, Eastern Emperor wants to see you."
