Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 391 Maxing out the leverage
"As the spark, Amya will be transported to the edge of the Milky Way in the future, but we only need to do this before the East Sea team enters the cycle world."

The clone Chu Xuan obtained the Space Bridge technology in the previous Transformers movie.

This technology allows the Demons to achieve interstellar teleportation, sending a member from Earth to the edge of the Milky Way or even beyond the Milky Way in a short time.

The clone Chu Xuan said, "Even if we don't change the plot at all, the East China Sea team will still have to wait another six months to enter this world. If we manage to delay it for a while, the East China Sea team will enter even later."

He didn't intend to delay for too long, as that wouldn't be a good thing.

However, the time given to them by the main god was indeed not enough, and it was necessary to delay the appearance of the East Sea team. In fact, the clone Chu Xuan had already planned when the East Sea team would enter this world, and had already prepared a welcome gift for the East Sea team in his mind.

"As a mental controller, Amya can do a lot of things during this time."

"For example, helping me control the higher levels of humanity..."

The clone Chu Xuan said calmly, "If everything goes smoothly, the entire Earth Federation will become our helper before the East China Sea team arrives. The human civilization in the movie is very weak in combat, but a civilization that can travel between stars can't be that weak."

In the story, humanity's level of warfare is extremely poor, completely failing to live up to the basic technology of this era. Theoretically, without any weapons, a spaceship accelerating to sub-light speed and crashing into the Zerg homeworld would cause enough destruction to be described as catastrophic.

The main god gave the demon team plenty of time to prepare.

All the veterans of the Demon Team were convinced that Chu Xuan could use the basic technology of humanity to create a large number of extremely powerful weapons during that time. If the human civilization and the Zerg civilization fought back and forth in the original story, if Chu Xuan became the master of the human civilization, the war would inevitably turn into the human civilization crushing the Zerg civilization.

Unless, of course, the Supreme God intervenes and takes sides, maliciously strengthening the Zerg in this world to hone the Reincarnation Squad, raising the Zerg to a level far exceeding that in the original story.

"Control the human leadership? If we could control the human fleet in this world, our chances of victory would definitely increase significantly."

The clone Zheng Zha said, "But I remember there is a special unit called the Telepathic Unit in the Starship Troopers world. The abilities of that unit are very similar to those of psychic controllers. Won't this kind of control cause problems?"

In the story, the protagonist's classmate and best friend, Carl, joins the telepathic unit because of his special talent and will become an interstellar marshal in the future.

This exceptional individual was highly involved in the human effort to capture the brain worm.

The clone Zheng Zha felt that mental control might not be absolutely effective in this world.

The clone Chu Xuan said calmly, "Of course it's not that easy, but controlling people's hearts is never just about skills."

"For the next six months, Amy and Tom will work with me to help me control the human leadership. In addition, I will prepare a spacecraft for her to travel in space for extended periods. To prepare for the worst-case scenario, we also need to make the spaceship capable of returning to Earth, so that Amy will have the opportunity to return to the Milky Way to complete the mission assigned by the God."

The clone Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment.

He understood what the worst-case scenario was... the rest of the Demon Squad had been wiped out, and the two squads had huge conflicts in their missions, meaning Amy had to personally complete the mission of eliminating all the insects on the planet Klendav once again.

The captain of the demon team once again realized the fear in the hearts of his teammates.

Zheng Zha trusted Chu Xuan a lot... at least when it came to dealing with external enemies, this teammate was trustworthy. Chu Xuan was so cautious, so the enemy they were about to face was probably stronger than he had imagined.

The clone Chu Xuan then instructed, "In addition to controlling the high-ranking officials of the Earth Federation through special means, we also need to win over some elites at the grassroots level. Therefore, some members of our team can take this opportunity to join the Federation army."

Normal people always need a process of accepting information. It is simply impossible for a speech or the revelation of a truth to make countless people take immediate action!

Some "shills" can significantly reduce the time it takes to receive information.

If those "plants" are well-known enough, the effect will be even more pronounced.

"Park Chang-ho, Zero, Frodo, and Aaron who just joined, the four of you should follow the roles assigned to us by the God. Once the story begins, try joining the army here. The God has placed us at the recruitment point at the start, so joining the army shouldn't be too difficult."

The four members of the Demon Team nodded.

These people all possess some level of technological weaponry, making them more adaptable to this future world. Coupled with their already strong physical abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for them to rise through the ranks in the military.

Of course, the most crucial point is that if Chu Xuan can control the high-level officials of the Earth Federation in the future, it will be very convenient for them to do things at the grassroots level.

"Zhao Zhuikong, next, take care of some hidden dangers among humanity. According to the plot, the origin of the asteroid that struck the region is actually a bit suspicious. The propaganda says that the meteorite did come from the Zerg, but some obscure details suggest that it was a human scheme. In any case, there are always some filthy people among the human elite. We can only control a limited number of people. Some people can be brought down by their own problems, but we need you to step in for the rest."

The clone Zhao Zhuikong smiled.

Even in this interstellar age, he can still assassinate anyone silently.

Normally, controlling the situation through assassins would do more harm than good, but the Demon Team doesn't plan to stay in this world for long, so they naturally choose a quick and easy approach.

"Cheng Xiao, based on what I know of the plot, humans and the Zerg have been in contact for a long time. The protagonist's high school teacher, Lieutenant Raiqi, the first captain of that tough guy unit, lost his arm in the first contact."

The clone Chu Xuan said, "In the next six months, I will arrange for you to work in the Institute of Biology, which studies the Zerg. During this time, you will assist me in developing viruses for various Zerg species based on their genetic characteristics. If the research goes smoothly enough, perhaps a single tube of an ordinary virus could wipe out all the Zerg on an entire planet."

Cheng Xiao, who had just been copied into the Demons team in the previous game, nodded.

He didn't quite like the atmosphere of the Demon Team, but he didn't dare disobey Chu Xuan's orders, no matter which team Chu Xuan belonged to...

"In anime, insects seem to have the ability to evolve. Ordinary viruses would have a hard time doing that. Could we develop a super virus specifically targeting insects based on the Gu poison?"

Cheng Xiao stroked his chin and said, "But what if those disgusting bugs evolve supernatural abilities because of this?"

It's not impossible.

Such scenarios are common in the cycle of reincarnation. Most of the monsters faced by reincarnators have been enhanced by the main god.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "If we only develop one or two kinds of medicine, that problem will naturally occur, but as long as we develop enough medicine, we don't need to worry too much."

Cheng Xiao was speechless.

If someone else said that, he would only think that person was too arrogant. How could Gu poison be developed so easily?

But if that person is Chu Xuan, then it's a different story.

"Then there's the issue of stalling for time... Regardless of whether the asteroid that ignited the war between humans and insectoids came from humans or the insectoids, we have a responsibility to prevent it from falling into human cities."

Chu Xuan added, "If I'm not mistaken, preventing that asteroid from hitting Earth should be a side quest. Destroying that meteorite in space will most likely earn you some reward points and a side quest."

"After all, preventing asteroids from hitting Earth could save millions of lives."

"But similarly, because doing that thing will unlock a side quest, intercepting the asteroid will be extremely difficult. For example, normal methods may not be able to detect the asteroid that is about to hit Earth. Or, the main god may have increased the mass of the asteroid, making it impossible to destroy it by ordinary means... In short, we need to make special arrangements for this."

Chu Xuan instructed, "Ming Yanwei, I will arrange for you to be stationed in Buenos Aires in the future. If you sense any danger, please notify us..."

"Danger Prediction..."

The beautiful demon archer's lips twitched.

Chu Xuan's arrangements really don't treat her like a human being... Her precognition is indeed very powerful, and she can predict the vast majority of dangers, but if she relied entirely on precognition to avoid danger, she would probably be dead long ago.

The result of this arrangement is... if her precognitive abilities are weaker and she fails to sense the asteroid's arrival, her life will certainly be in danger.

Although she wasn't a mind controller, such a large meteorite falling from the sky wouldn't have been too difficult to kill her.

“I can’t guarantee success,” said the clone Ming Yanwei.

She didn't actually care too much about life and death.

I just feel that Chu Xuan's scheme is a bit outrageous.

The clone Chu Xuan ignored the archer who wasn't very confident and turned to his captain, saying, "Zheng Zha, Ming Yanwei's prediction of the asteroid's arrival is only the first step. After predicting the asteroid's location, we still need to destroy it, and that's up to you."

"Although technological weapons can achieve this, your strength is indispensable for more precise interception."

The clone Zheng Zha sighed, "Chu Xuan, aren't you overestimating me a bit? If that meteorite were stationary, it wouldn't be difficult for me to break it, but that thing is very fast, right? Moreover, from predicting it, to searching for it, to me taking action... the whole process involves a lot of steps, leaving me very little time to act. To be honest, I really don't think I can do it."

After defeating the true body, his cultivation level improved significantly.

Also because of that battle between the demons and the Central Continent, the clone Zheng Zha gained a lot of side quests and reward points, which greatly increased his level.

With the added boost from Transformers, the current clone Zheng Zha considers himself very strong.

However, intercepting meteorites by human intervention remains a very challenging task.

“You can’t do this now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to do it six months from now,” the clone Chu Xuan said.

"This is also one of the reasons why I asked you to take action... to verify your growth through that meteorite. If you cannot grow to the point where you can easily defeat that meteorite from the Zerg star system within six months, then there is no need for us to fight the East Sea team. At that time, we might as well complete the mission in a more cowardly way."

"growing up?"

The clone Zheng Zha asked, "This world probably doesn't allow cultivation like in the Legend of Shushan world, right? Besides, I'm not very good at cultivation. If there are enough powerful enemies in this world, perhaps I'll have a chance to grow stronger."

The clone Chu Xuan calmly said, "No, your current level is sufficient to allow you to achieve even stronger combat abilities, provided that you first learn some relevant knowledge. The Fiery Blaze is an extremely powerful skill; this flame can attack the mind and burn away negative emotions. However, this is not the core ability of this flame. In my tests, the flame compressed to its extreme possesses two characteristics: one is the ability to manipulate gravity..."

The clone Chu Xuan's expression turned somewhat fanatical.

A string of physics terms came out of his mouth, leaving the clone Zheng Zha completely bewildered.

He differs from his original personality, but in some aspects they are not too different.

For example, after having an external brain, some of the abilities that were originally there begin to degenerate... Although it doesn't degenerate to a very shameful degree, in some aspects it's not much better than the original brain.

"Of course I know about Li Yan's abilities. He is trying to develop skills using those two characteristics, but developing skills is not something that can be done overnight. Moreover, even if he develops skills, it will only mean that he can use that flame better. His realm will not improve much, right?"

The clone Zheng Zha asked, "If the East Sea team is really as strong as you guess, then what's the point of having one or two skills?"

“The skill itself is naturally not strong enough,” the clone Chu Xuan said. “But do you remember Archimedes’ words? Human strength, with the aid of powerful tools, can move the earth. Similarly, if we can find a 'fulcrum,' it won’t be too difficult for that ability to create enough destructive power in the future!”

"Lever..."

The clone Zheng Zha seemed to be deep in thought.

The clone Chu Xuan said, "Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you can successfully develop the most basic skill during the time before the East Sea team arrives. This requires you to learn some knowledge from me, such as the unity of opposites between dark energy and gravity..."

"After finding the fulcrum, you still need that knowledge as leverage."
