Two hundred years passed by in a flash.
Jon felt that his days were like an alternative Immortal Cultivation.
Immortal cultivation was also wasting long hours on cultivation, and there wasn't much time for a life that was truly his own.
Thinking about this, he thought of his parents again.
Every time he stayed up late or didn't want to eat, his parents would always come with a "Are you cultivating Immortality?"
The memories were already a bit fuzzy.
It was only now that he had some regrets because he hadn't kept a single picture of his parents in his cell phone.
The daily depression lasted for an hour.
Jon exited his room and naturally waited for the robots to deliver his meal while communicating with Ella.
"The last planetary thruster is finished, I believe."
"When is it going to be activated so that the hundred-eyed planet is on course toward Bighorn?"
Ella didn't seem to be satisfied with the holographic projection anymore, as it occupied the silicone robot from before and walked over in a blue and white cheongsam.
This was a small bar.
Ella skillfully used a shaker and an ounce glass, pulling off a bit of acrobatics from time to time, then fumbled for a glass, put down ice, rubbed some rose salt on the rim, and put a slice of lemon on it.
The made-up cocktail was poured into the glass and Ella made a seal with whipped egg whites, finally pushing the drink in front of Jon.
"Now."
As Ella said it, the entire floor of the hundred-eyed planet shook.
The planetary thrusters turned on!
Jon calmly picked up the dusk-colored wine and asked, "What's it called?"
"Dream!"
Jon poured the wine in one gulp, warm and fiery, as if swallowing a mouthful of chili.
...
"When the planetary thrusters turn on, that's when we'll leave the planet."
The planet was moving at 250km/s, but it would take another 3,600 years to get to Proxima.
That's too slow, too slow.
"The Hope has been fitted with positive and negative matter annihilation thrusters, what is its speed now?"
Previously, the Hope was using electromagnetic thrusters, which were supposed to be iterated into fusion thrusters.
However, due to the encounter with the Hundred Eyes Race, the positive and negative matter annihilation was developed for the sake of weapons, so it was simply a matter of developing stronger positive and negative matter annihilation thrusters.
This was considered a leap forward in civilization.
"3220km/s," Ella replied.
This speed was more than twice as fast as before.
In fact, it was only logical that any object would be able to approach the speed of light as long as it continued to accelerate.
An energy speed like positive and negative matter annihilation should be able to accelerate the spacecraft to 10% of the speed of light.
But that's just hypothetical.
The weight of the hypothetical spacecraft was too different from the actual weight, and a giant spacecraft such as the Hope already weighed 2 billion tons.
Trying to accelerate such a giant object to 10% of the speed of light would require consuming at least 500 million tons of antimatter, close to a quarter of the weight of the spacecraft, which was nearly impossible in all aspects of perfection.
In practice it wouldn't be all about acceleration either, you'd also need to think about how to slow down afterward, there's no such thing as brake holding in the universe.
Theoretical acceleration would ultimately just be a stream of sending the ship to its death.
In practice it would probably be a case of accelerating the spacecraft to 10% of the speed of light and then crashing into the target planet, creating a mass extinction of life on the target planet.
After the drinks Jon went back to dinner.
After everything was full he began to set things up.
Although Ella had been able to take the whole picture into consideration, Jon still needed to do it himself in order to resolve things in a way that was consistent with the emotions humans carried.
If everything was left to Ella, it would only lead to a conflict between the machine's ideology and the ideology of intelligent life.
Before leaving the Hundred Eyes Planet, Jon needed to let Ella settle everything for the Hundred Eyes Race.
This also includes a blockade on the technology of the Hundred Eyes, so that the Hundred Eyes don't overthrow their rule during the 3600 years it takes to reach the planet of Beelzebub.
Positively, the number of conventional robots in the Hundred Eyes has been raised to 300 million, which is already more than the current Hundred Eyes population combined.
All cities were fully mechanized, making it impossible for all creatures within the Hundred Eyes to control threatening weapons.
These things had consumed a whole month of Jon's time.
And finally.
Ella completed the inspection of all the spacecraft.
"Jon, the number of our spacecraft is now 157, with 4 main fleets and 1 scout fleet."
"All spacecraft have been loaded with the latest anti-matter main cannons and high-energy laser weapons, and the magnetic shields have been iterated."
"The small fighters now loaded inside the spacecraft have also been updated to the third generation, utilizing positive and antimatter annihilation energy as power, and can reach speeds of 7,810km/s."
"In addition to these spacecraft, the main ship of the second fleet was replaced with a light civilization battleship dug out from the ground, on which I restored most of the light civilization's instruments to combine with ours with each other."
"With our current combat power, we can already wage war against civilizations above level 1.6."
"All battleships are now ready in space."
"Are we going to fly away from Hundred Eyes now?"
Jon pondered what was left to be done, and after a moment's thought felt it was ready.
"Take off."
"It's time to say goodbye to this planet, too."
"I actually quite like the current Hundred Eyes, it's just a pity that it's not a suitable planet for human habitation."
During the time of the awakening, Jon had traveled to many places on the Hundred Eyes Planet.
After Ella's remodeling, the Hundred Eyes Star had indeed become much more beautiful and more in line with human aesthetics.
"First section of the propulsion platform ignited."
"Beginning to leave the Hundred Eyes Star."
The entire spacecraft shook violently as the Hope was pushed towards the air by a platform.
Due to its own excessive self-weight, the Hope needed two stages of acceleration to escape the gravity of the Hundred Eyes Star.
Only when the platform was 60 kilometers high did the Hope's engines ignite, and at 210 kilometers above the ground, the Hope escaped the massive gravitational pull of the Hundred Eyes.
Jon saw on the screen that the Hundred Eyes was getting smaller and smaller.
At that moment all the lights on the entire planet were on.
From space, the Hundred Eyes star was colorful, it looked like an eye in deep space, watching the fleet led by the Hope leave, and it also looked like a huge neon sign.
Behind this neon light there was a bright trailing tail that was following their spacecraft.
Only, the more they chased, the further away they got.
"Switch it."
"Point to our goal that hasn't changed from the beginning."
"Go conquer there!"
