“Of course! That’s exactly what I’ve been longing for.” Zhang Cheng didn’t hesitate to extend his right hand and shake hands with the other person.

No need for further explanation!

Through some mysterious connection, they can sense each other's ambitions and thoughts.

A full minute later, Old Chen turned around and pointed at Iria, who had been left standing to the side: "As a personal gift to welcome you to the group, she is now your private property."

"Give it to me?" Zhang Cheng looked at the woman who wanted to die with him with great interest.

In fact, he harbored not a single grudge against the other party, nor did he have any desire for revenge.

The reason is simple: if Zhang Cheng were forcibly imprisoned in a place, knowing that he was only a stepping stone for others, his actions would be ten thousand times more insane than the previous stellar expansion.

“Yes! Her identity is very special. She is a direct descendant of the supreme ruler of a planet in an advanced universe. The organization destroyed the regime on that planet and transformed it into a forward military base. You can understand it as her being a noble princess, and her soul containing the mysterious rules of a higher universe,” Old Chen explained calmly.

"Sounds like a good test subject, doesn't it?"

As he spoke these words, a chilling light flickered in Zhang Cheng's eyes, which were as bright as stars.

Clearly, Arya had stirred up his deep-seated desire for knowledge and power.

Whether she was a princess or not, or whether she was beautiful, was no longer important at this moment. What mattered was that she possessed immeasurable research value and deserved to be dissected and dismembered on the dissection table...

Chapter 1002 Organization

String theory is a branch of non-traditional theoretical physics that emerged in the mid-to-late 20th century.

The biggest difference from traditional physics is that its core concept holds that the fundamental units of nature are not point-like particles such as electrons, photons, neutrinos, and quarks, but rather tiny, thread-like "strings," including "open strings" with endpoints and loop-like "closed strings" or closed strings. Different vibrations and motions of these strings produce various fundamental particles, and energy and matter can be converted into each other.

It was this theory that gave rise to the later concept of the higher-dimensional universe.

For the first time, humanity on Earth began to realize that the universe they inhabited was not as simple as it appeared to the naked eye, but rather an extremely complex celestial body whose truth might remain unknown even after humanity's extinction.

Time, space, soul, and so on, which many people regard as ultimate forces, are nothing more than insignificant dust in the vast universe.

……

With the help of an unknown device, Zhang Cheng followed Lao Chen and directly tore through the three-dimensional universe, entering a wondrous space that was completely indescribable.

Do not!

Perhaps it shouldn't be called space!

Because it doesn't have length, width, and height like a normal space, but is more like a two-dimensional space, where everything is flat.

Especially the countless massive fleets and enormous war machines lingering within the black vortex are more astonishing than any scene from a science fiction movie, novel, or game ever created by humankind.

After passing through a narrow platform passage, the two quickly arrived at a circular conference room, where sixty-four men and women with strikingly similar appearances stood densely packed together.

That's right!

They are men and women!

Moreover, women accounted for nearly one-third of them!

After all, according to the probability of biological genetics, when humans conceive, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be male and a 50% chance that they will be female, so the occurrence of some female offspring is not something to be alarmed about.

Looking at these women who looked remarkably like him, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of absurdity. One of the scantily clad girls even winked at him.

However, Old Chen clearly didn't care about any of that. He went straight to a man who looked to be around thirty years old and exuded an aura of authority. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "Initiator, he has passed the trial and has officially joined us as a member of the organization."

“Excellent! On behalf of the organization, I welcome you to join us.” The man referred to as the Initiator smiled and nodded.

"Thank you!"

Because he was still unfamiliar with everything around him, Zhang Cheng was very cautious, didn't say much nonsense, and responded with a smile.

The two stared at each other for about ten seconds. The Initiator immediately stopped probing and pointed to the only empty seat not far away, saying, "That's your seat. Go sit down. We're going to have a meeting to redivide the areas and develop a new battle plan."

After Zhang Cheng sat down, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!

moment!

A vast and boundless star map appeared out of thin air in the conference room.

Unlike the simple three-dimensional starry sky in ordinary science fiction movies, this star map has silver "strings" at intervals, completely separating the star clusters. The distance between each string is divided by a series of numbers, roughly looking like a cake, cut into layers and pieces.

The Initiator, noticing the curiosity in Zhang Cheng's eyes, explained, "As you can see, this is not an ordinary star map, but a superstring star map. The area isolated by each string you see is equivalent to the entire universe that the original Earth could observe, and billions of times larger. The so-called superstring war is about seizing control of the strings through a series of means, entering the opponent's area, and then waging war to acquire power, technology, knowledge, and resources."

"What exactly is the string you're referring to?" Zhang Cheng asked, frowning.

"A string is a very complex thing. You can think of it as a physical phenomenon generated by super energy vibrations. According to what the organization currently knows, there are a total of 182 strings in the entire universe. Almost all matter is generated from their vibrations, and magical energy is one of them. Moreover, we have already mastered 20 of them." The Initiator's tone was tinged with pride and self-satisfaction.

But he certainly has every right to be proud!

The fact that this vast power was built from scratch in the three-dimensional universe, step by step, and that it became the supreme leader, is a miracle that cannot be replicated.

In particular, sharing rights, knowledge, technology, and power with members of the organization requires a level of vision and courage that not just anyone can possess, even if those recruited are versions of themselves from parallel universes.

Thinking about all this, Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "Understood! Please continue."

"With the twenty strings as the core, the area from D4357 to F8231 is the area we actually control."

Currently, our main offensive target is C1240. There is a very difficult planet there, which we have temporarily named Darkness.

It is extremely special, with a diameter approximately 30,000 times that of Earth, and exists independently of all other galaxies.

In other words, it has no stars around it, but it has given birth to a very special civilization.

One group of human beings, who called themselves the Hallesen, mined special energy crystals from deep within the earth and used them to create one highly prosperous and developed city after another.

In short, they used the power of this crystal to create weapons that posed a great threat to us and wiped out the first expeditionary force.

That's why the organization decided to recruit a master of energy, mysticism, and alchemy to deal with these pesky guys.

"So, I'm handing this planet over to you. Can you handle it for the organization?"

The initiator briefly introduced the situation, then stared at Zhang Cheng with expectant eyes.

Superstring warfare is not the kind of scene that ordinary people imagine, where countless warships blot out the sky, nor is it a frenzied battle where swarms of insects overwhelm the enemy.

On the contrary, because the closer a galaxy is to a string, the more likely it is to give rise to a highly advanced civilization or an incredibly powerful life form, every attack is a risk to one's own life.

Because you never know how terrifying energy and destructive power are hidden within those seemingly ordinary organisms.

Zhang Cheng squinted and extended a finger to browse through the data on this planet called Dark Planet. Most of the data consisted of images left over from the last expeditionary force's battle and annihilation.

After about twenty minutes of silence, he stroked his chin and replied, "No problem, leave it to me."

Chapter 1003 Superstring Warfare (Part 1)

As a newcomer attending a combat meeting for the first time, Zhang Cheng, after accepting the mission to conquer the Dark Planet, ignored the remaining grand strategies that were too complicated for him and the massive amount of jargon he couldn't understand. He sat quietly in his seat, constantly browsing the information in the database, especially the section on strings.

As the Initiator just mentioned, a string is something that cannot be described in words at all; to be precise, no words can describe its incredible power.

Simply put, a mainline can provide the expeditionary force with endless energy. Even if billions of fleets and cannon fodder are wiped out, as long as the mainline is still in their hands, they can create an interstellar fleet that is even larger than the one before the pen, within a few days at most, using existing technology.

Endless!

There are no limits!

Never weaken!

The super energy oscillation phenomenon generated by the main string is like an inexhaustible gold mine.

Most importantly, it is through this process that one can enter a higher-dimensional universe from a lower-dimensional universe and break free from the constraints of time and space, gaining the same abilities as other life forms in the region from the moment of entry.

For example, some life forms in higher-dimensional universes can be completely unconstrained by space and jump between different spaces without restraint. Or, some life forms in higher-dimensional universes are not constrained by time and can travel freely between parallel universes in the past and future.

Such terrifying power is like a god to humans in the three-dimensional universe.

However, as long as one grasps a main thread connecting to this universe, then by entering this region through it, the entire expeditionary force can gain the same power and launch a devastating offensive, conquering one planet after another.

In addition, there are a large number of tiny strings in the entire multiverse. The most common of these are the strings that divide the smallest point in time and parallel universes. They are what connect the past, present, and future, and maintain the infinite possibilities of the entire universe.

Clearly, the fantasy worlds Zhang Cheng had visited before actually exist somewhere in the universe, and are very likely within the organization's territory.

However, as an organization so powerful that it occupies nearly one-ninth of the universe, no one would care about one or two planets.

Judging from past plans and campaigns, at most they would only clear out planets with life in the vicinity of the main axis, and they wouldn't even bother with the rest.

Just as he was concentrating on trying to understand those intricate scientific theories and the bizarre and intelligent species, Old Chen suddenly came over, banged on the table, and asked, "Hey! What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed!"

"No! It's nothing! I'm just a little shocked by the true form of strings and the universe." Zhang Cheng stopped flipping through the documents, looked up, and answered with a smile.

"Haha! Relax, don't be so nervous. Everyone here was just like you when they first arrived, but after a while, they'll gradually understand and get used to it. Okay, don't think too much now. We're planning to throw you a welcome party before you set off." Old Chen waved his hands enthusiastically.

Not only him, but several other members who looked quite young also showed expressions of interest, as if they were looking forward to the so-called "welcome party".

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng refused without hesitation, saying, "Sorry, I'm not in the mood for entertainment activities right now. At least until we deal with the Dark Planet, I won't waste a single second, let alone something as boring as a party."

After saying that, he ignored the surprised or curious looks from those around him and turned to disappear into the dark and deep corridor.

"Wow! Another cool type?" The woman who had flirted with Zhang Cheng not long ago raised her eyebrows.

"Damn it! I thought I'd finally found a handsome guy to ease my loneliness, but who would have thought he'd be such an insensitive fellow."

"That's right! I haven't been in a relationship for six billion years. For a woman, it's the cruelest torture in the universe."

Two other women joined in the condemnation, and the meeting room was filled with a cacophony of chatter, like 1,500 ducks quacking together.

"Ahem!" Old Chen couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice to remind them, "Ladies! Please remember, we are all versions of ourselves in countless parallel universes, and there is some kind of minute connection between us. Are you really so thirsty that you intend to take advantage of another version of yourself?"

"Hmph! Don't give me that! Tell us quickly, what's the deal with that newcomer? I always feel like he's radiating a dangerous aura!" The woman who spoke first rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, annoyed.

"He is indeed extremely dangerous! Far more dangerous than most of us! During the trials, he destroyed at least three planets, one of which was his own home planet, Earth. Think about it, which of us would be so insane as to spare our own home planet? Who would repeatedly treat their former kin as ants, bringing them despair and destruction? Therefore, I suggest you don't provoke him. Even I can't see through what's going on in his mind or what astonishing move he might make next..."

When he said these words, Old Chen's tone was full of warning.

genius?

madman?

demon?

Even he himself didn't know how to describe Zhang Cheng's performance throughout the trial, especially his completely different choices when facing danger, which was no different from those of normal people. It was like driving a car and keeping your foot on the gas pedal when going around a bend.

However, Zhang Cheng has drifted perfectly through every corner so far, making it hard to tell whether it's luck or the result of a meticulous plan in his mind.

"This guy destroyed the Earth and all the humans on it?" A woman's expression changed slightly upon hearing this news.

Although most of the members have their hands stained with the blood of innocents, and some have even led their subordinates to destroy one star system after another, that all happened after they joined the organization through trials.
