My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 394 Space Crisis and... Lin Xia?
Chu Zhu's expression was serious, countless possibilities flashing through his mind. Finally, he said solemnly, "Hive, send out drones to monitor the current situation on the moon."

"Your will," the Hive's voice said respectfully.

Then, the Hive projected a light screen displaying more than twenty images—the first image projected was of a drone flying out of the space carrier's cabin, followed by a vast starry sky, and then the images changed rapidly.

These drones suddenly exploded out of thin air as they broke through the atmosphere.

"...Hmm?" Chu Zhu's face showed surprise.

"It's a laser defense mechanism!" Hive suddenly spoke up: "Initiating thought and search... Target locked, it should be a planetary-level defensive weapon researched and produced by Company C!"

Chu Zhu: "???"

Chu Zhu felt her brain freeze for a moment: "Wait a minute, let me sort this out!"

The moon has a laser defense mechanism? And it was made by his company...

"...Does Earth exist?" Chu Zhu asked in surprise.

"There is no relevant information..." The Hive's voice remained completely still.

"According to the records, it exists!" Little Mushroom Head suddenly interjected, "But the specific information is hidden within Nuwa's mainframe! Please connect to the mainframe before making any inquiries."

"...Alright!" Chu Zhu's eye twitched. How come he didn't notice anything unusual when he broke through to Earth? Or is this defense only effective against external attacks?

But he had previously ventured into outer space and then landed on Earth... and he was never attacked there either!
"In other words, this defense mechanism... should have some intelligence! It doesn't attack everything indiscriminately?" Chu Zhu guessed.

After a brief moment of thought, Chu Zhu simply ordered the drone carrier to slowly revolve around the moon in the sea of ​​stars. Even though the view from the sky was very rough, it still provided him with a lot of useful information.

"No, at first I thought the moon was blue-green! But the color looks different from every different angle... It must be a problem with this newly formed atmosphere... I see, no wonder the moon looks normal from Earth! It must be some kind of special setting..."

Chu Zhu suddenly realized, but at the same time, she was also shocked by the remnants of the previous civilization. This was also made by the previous civilization? The technological level of this generation is so advanced… wait, it was mentioned before that the planet's defense equipment was produced by Company C…

"In other words... it's also possible that it was Z-type artificial intelligence that was behind this!" Chu Zhu thought of a completely new possibility.

Who says the moon was necessarily created by a pre-civilization? It's also possible that it was created by Z and their ilk in a post-civilization era—possessing some legacy from a pre-civilization and combined with the power of gods, it's not entirely impossible that they could have accomplished this.

He observed carefully: "However, quite a few plants do grow on the surface of the moon... but these plants!"

On the moon's surface, one can vaguely see enormous, bubble-like structures. Inside those bubbles, there are forests, cities...

But at the same time, the area outside these bubbles is what the moon originally looked like, barren and desolate...

However, in these desolate lunar regions, something is forming a trend... that is attacking this bubble city?

"...The Hive, zoom in, yes, that's the Kuroshio... zoom in!"

Chu Zhu issued an order: although the space carrier could not directly break through the atmosphere and enter the moon, the high-precision observation instruments inside it could serve as high-precision satellites.

Let alone the future, even in the era Chu Zhu traveled to, satellite surveillance accuracy had already reached the meter level...

Then… “Robots?!” Chu Zhu was shocked. He had originally thought that the attack would be by all races, but instead…

"But weren't the robots completely under Z's control? Could it be..." Chu Zhu recalled the contents of the diary: if mechanical creations were placed on Mars and contaminated, they would gradually break free from control and do some strange things.

However, these machine creations did not exhibit the characteristics of artificial intelligence...

"Out of control! Attacking humanity! That must be it." Chu Zhu remained silent for a while, then looked towards Mars: "So, it's Martian contamination? It didn't directly sweep towards Earth... but attacked the Moon first?"

After making her judgment, Chu Zhu made up her mind: "Then, let's go to Mars!"

Mars, even if there are similar defense mechanisms... but since it is controlled by Z, shouldn't his identity information be recorded?

In other words, he should be able to land directly...

The space carrier began its journey at top speed.

"...How long will it take?" Chu Zhu suddenly thought of something.

"...It will take approximately 172 hours!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

To be honest, this speed is ridiculously fast. For example, launching a spacecraft to Mars in the real world typically takes six to nine months… and that's when Mars is relatively close to Earth! Compared to that time, a journey of nearly two hundred hours is really nothing—

The problem is, he doesn't have much time left to reset...

"I never expected to get stuck on this!" Chu Zhu rubbed his temples, looking exasperated, but then a thought struck him: "I have the power to transform into light. If we calculate at the speed of light... it might only take a few minutes to reach Mars! The only problem is..."

It's easy to accidentally walk through!

However, if the initial target was Mars... then shouldn't the beam of light crash headlong into the Martian surface? And some rough calculations can be done...

"That's amazing, Lao Fang!" Chu Zhu exclaimed sincerely. The Divine Power of Light is just too awesome.

He was prepared to give it a try. Although there might be problems, the worst that could happen was that he would just die.

After some adjustments and preparations, Chu Zhu took a deep breath, left the space carrier, and floated in outer space.

There is no air in outer space, but with Chu Zhu's current cultivation level, breathing is not a necessity, and his body has its own internal circulation.

"And then... um?!" Chu Zhu's movements froze for a moment before he subconsciously slapped the void with his backhand. His shadow transformed into dozens of sharp blades, shattering everything in its path... However, there was nothing there... It was completely blank!
After staring at the empty void for a while, Chu Zhu's brows gradually furrowed, sensing something was amiss.

“…A-Zhu!” A cheerful voice rang out; it was Lin Xia’s voice.

Chu Zhu's pupils contracted slightly. The voice came from behind him? Immediately afterward, he heard another voice: "Strange! You took so long... to come and meet us! By the way, you..."
