Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 258 Accident
They don't conduct any new recruit training or replenish the army. A basic soldier can be used from start to finish until he reaches retirement age.

It can be said that the Empire's soldiers are not expendable resources, but super expendable resources that can be recycled and become stronger the more they are used.

On the other hand, Uchiha Kazuto discovered that the stronger a person's basic qualities, the less eye power they need to add various buffs, which can save them some expenses.

After observing the development of Mars, Uchiha Kazuto turned his gaze to other planets in the vicinity.

The Empire's planetary terraforming department has now begun terraforming some colonizable and habitable planets and moons within the star system.

Unfortunately, no traces of extraterrestrial life were found on these planets during this process, not even primitive life forms.

Above the Ninja World orbit, a huge, top-like space station quietly revolves around the planet. Around this space station, several escort ships equipped with nuclear fusion reactors, space jump engines, super particle cannons, and kinetic energy munitions can be seen.

These escort ships can be considered the top-tier interstellar warfare weapons developed by the Empire using all its current technology. They are equipped with basic wet-component AI, intelligent AI error correction systems, and space jammers, which should be sufficient to deal with basic interstellar warfare.

At the same time, orbital bombardment can also be used to attack outer planets.

Of course, calling them top-tier interstellar warships is only relative to the current Empire. With technological advancements, even more powerful warships will be developed in the future.

As time passed, the technology connecting parallel universes, whose location was unknown and only some basic information was known, achieved some results through continuous research, and they successfully created a spacetime coordinate locator.

Once the basic coordinates of the corresponding time and space are input, this machine can open a time tunnel to different time and space through the resonance between individuals.

This is a very complex technology. The prerequisite is that someone needs to travel to a parallel universe to cooperate and resonate with the soul. In addition, it requires a lot of energy to use.

However, the time portals that were subsequently constructed were no different from other time portals.

……

"Meet the adults!"

In the laboratory, the research director looked at Uchiha and Tou with a respectful expression.

"Hmm, are you sure you're connecting to another universe?"

Uchiha Kazuto nodded, then asked.

"Yes, sir, we are absolutely certain that the universe is not a parallel universe to ours. The equipment we deployed there is completely inoperable and does not transmit any information. It is completely different from a parallel universe!"

The research director explained.

Indeed, in other universes, experiments are always accompanied by various accidents. When they were researching parallel spacetime travel devices, an accident caused the device to accidentally open a spacetime tunnel connecting to other universes.

It's important to know that although many time tunnels are very unstable, they are generally capable of allowing some small detection devices to enter.

However, the world connected behind that time tunnel, although it is possible to deploy equipment, would become completely unusable once the equipment entered it. This should not happen, because if the other side were a parallel universe, this situation would not occur.

Ultimately, they guessed that perhaps the world opposite them wasn't their world at all, but an alternate universe, a world with completely different spacetime parameters than theirs. "Interesting, hehe, take me to see it."

Uchiha Kazuto nodded upon hearing this, a look of interest appearing in his eyes. To be honest, parallel universes are essentially still within the same universe. Calling these parallel universes universes is an understatement; they are more like countless branches splitting off from the great tree of the Naruto universe.

But the other universe is different; it's a different tree.

Fortunately, because the data is strictly recorded for each experiment, they can replicate previous accidents without creating something they can't even understand after falling asleep.

Soon, Uchiha Kazuto saw a flickering, blurry-looking portal that made it impossible to see what was on the other side.

"My lord, we have already conducted live experiments. So far, no creature has been able to survive in the other world. Once they enter the other world, their souls will dissipate, their body structures will begin to collapse from the bottom up, and if this goes on for a while, they will simply disappear."

"We believe it is due to differences in the underlying matter of different worlds. Currently, we do not have a good way to explore the other world unless we can find a way to survive in another universe."

The research director stood in front of Uchiha Kazuto and pointed to the portal.

"A way to survive in another universe?"

Uchiha Kazuto fell into deep thought. He had not forgotten his identity. He was a transmigrator, a very ordinary transmigrator. He didn't have any cheat codes, any extraordinary abilities, or even any heaven-defying background.

But he is ultimately a transmigrator. If the matter, or even the soul, between the two universes is incompatible, then how does he exist in this world?

It seems his soul is somewhat special.

With that thought in mind, Uchiha Kazuto had an idea. He approached the portal, raised his hand, and his hand detached from his wrist, turning into a squirrel, which then ran into the portal.

"grown ups!"

Upon seeing this, his research director immediately became nervous.

"do not worry."

Uchiha Kazuto shook his head. Meanwhile, in a parallel world, in a forest, in a dark, deserted corner, a portal to another dimension floated silently in the air.

The next moment, a squirrel jumped out from among them.

The moment it appeared, the squirrel's body began to convulse. The substances that made up the squirrel began to react violently with the world. Its flesh rotted and began to collapse. Under normal circumstances, the squirrel would have died.

However, for some reason, this breakdown suddenly slowed down after reaching a certain point, just like the stomach digests to a certain extent, leaving behind the undigested waste that is judged as garbage.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the stomach after all, but another universe. Although it was slowing down, the collapse was still ongoing, only...
