Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 346 - 347: United Development Invitation! Thunder Dragon Riders!
Fubei Port Base, within the command hall.
Besides Gu Qijue, Han Yiming, and Hua Linglong, there was one more person in the hall this time.
This person wasn’t a conventional life form but an energy life form.
Although the other party appeared humanoid, it was actually a mass of humanoid energy.
The individual hailed from the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization, where all life forms exist in an energy state.
The Thunder Star Cluster Civilization is not part of the Star Cluster Alliance.
Their visit to Gu Qijue was for collaboration.
Due to their lack of significant technological needs, the technological development of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization was quite skewed.
Even though the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization is currently very safe, they evidently understand the importance of preparedness.
After careful consideration and acquiring some special intelligence, they decided to collaborate with the Infinite Empire to develop their technological system.
The person who came to discuss cooperation with Gu Qijue was Genji Nineteen.
"Yuan" is a prominent surname in the Thunder Star Cluster, where people typically have a surname followed by a number.
From Genji One to Genji Twenty, all are elders within their tribe.
The electronic voice of Genji Nineteen resounded in the command hall.
"Supreme Leader Gu, what have you decided?"
What Genji Nineteen referred to was the invitation for the Infinite Empire and the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization to jointly develop technology.
The culture and abilities of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization are quite unique.
Their main priest, utilizing magical artifacts, possesses strong divination abilities.
The main priest had divined the presence of high-level talents from the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization within the Infinite Empire.
Furthermore, they divined that the Infinite Empire has unique technological research capabilities.
Although this information is rather vague,
it still indicates that the Infinite Empire is a potential asset.
For various reasons, Elder Genji Nineteen came personally to Fubei Port Base to meet Gu Qijue.
After some contemplation, Gu Qijue then said, "I agree to this collaboration."
"However, I need the Thunder Dragon Cavalry of the Thunder Star Cluster to assist me in some battles."
Because the technological focus of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization is quite unusual, they possess some quirky technologies and items.
The Thunder Dragon Cavalry is a specialty of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization.
Elder Genji Nineteen holds considerable authority, and upon hearing Gu Qijue’s request, he directly responded:
"To show sincerity, I can dispatch one hundred thousand E-Tier Thunder Dragon Cavalry to assist Supreme Leader Gu in battle."
"But when will Supreme Leader Gu help us develop a technological system suitable for the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization?"
A technological system isn’t essential, but having it is definitely better than not having it.
Like dinosaurs didn’t need a technological system to become dominant during certain periods as a planetary civilization.
But having a technological system versus not having one are obviously two different things.
The Thunder Star Cluster Civilization is in a similar situation.
They can already fly and emit energy without technological equipment.
However, having an appropriate technological system to empower them could definitely enhance the overall strength of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization.
Since Elder Genji Nineteen has already shown sufficient sincerity,
Gu Qijue was also forthcoming, saying to Elder Genji Nineteen:
"You can prepare a list of all the technologies you need."
"We will then categorize this list from easy to difficult, basic to complex."
"Then we’ll provide a timeline for research and development that specifies when and how we will assist the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization in solving their technological issues."
"What does Elder Yuan think?"
After a little consideration, Genji Nineteen agreed, "Agreed, here’s to a successful collaboration."
The participation of the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization was a surprise to Gu Qijue.
As the star domain inhabited by the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization is quite far from here.
However, their space transmission technology is highly advanced.
After the discussion, a flash of electricity surrounded Elder Genji Nineteen as he completed his transmission.
Soon after, one hundred thousand Thunder Dragon Cavalry would appear at the Black Stone Base.
The reason for not placing the one hundred thousand Thunder Dragon Cavalry at Fubei Port Base is to catch the Klein People off guard.
After Elder Genji Nineteen’s departure, Han Yiming and Hua Linglong brought some relatively good news.
Vice Leader Han Sen of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster and the leadership of the Flower Moon Star Cluster provided some support for Gu Qijue’s operation.
Now, they just had to wait for the Klein People to take action against Fubei Port Base.
Unlike other bases and outposts, which feared attacks from the Klein People, Gu Qijue was eagerly anticipating their arrival.
Initially, it appeared as though the Klein People had abandoned their assault on Fubei Port Base.
But fortunately, Gu Qijue was using the Infinite Engine to continuously produce troops and equipment, ready to outlast them.
Of course, if the Klein People truly decided not to come, there wasn’t much that could be done.
In the beginning, many believed, just as Gu Qijue did,
that the Klein People would inevitably launch an attack on Fubei Port Base after some time.
However, the Klein People launched numerous attacks elsewhere instead.
Without any movement at Fubei Port Base,
many believed the Klein People had given up on attacking the base.
Even Gu Qijue himself nearly thought the same.
The ten thousand Thunder Dragon Cavalry from the Thunder Star Cluster Civilization have been transported to the Black Stone Base of the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster in recent days.
If the Klein People attacked Fubei Port Base, he could teach them a good lesson.
But no matter how he waited, the Klein People did not come.
As Gu Qijue began planning to take the initiative and cause some disruption elsewhere, the Klein People finally arrived after much anticipation.
"Crack, crack!"
The cosmic void surrounding Fubei Port Base shattered.
A large number of Klein People continuously emerged from the rifts in space.
Numerous super long-distance space transmission devices were rapidly set up at this time.
Then, a large number of Klein starships, along with many large-scale offensive weapons, quickly appeared.
Fubei Port Base was immediately subjected to a saturation bombardment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Countless missiles and laser cannons fiercely fired at this moment.
The vast majority of Fubei Port Base’s facilities were instantly obliterated into rubble.
However, some critical facilities were sustained by energy shields of the same level as the Mechanical Golden Lion.
For safety, these energy shields are not just one layer but three layers.
Gu Qijue’s precautions were not redundant.
The Klein People held a deep grudge against him, and their attack this time was far more aggressive than before.
Even though these energy shields used the same technology as the Mechanical Golden Lion,
their massive size meant the defense wasn’t at its most perfect.
