The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 580: A Strange World

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert

A spatial channel—a unique conduit capable of transporting objects from one place to another.

Its function is similar to that of the Hyperspace Teleportation Device, with the only difference being that this device can transport over much greater distances, provided Su Chen continues to upgrade the Hyperspace Teleportation Device.

"Have you attempted to investigate the conditions on the other side?" Su Chen's face turned serious, and he immediately inquired.

Generally, spatial channels facilitate two-way communication, but there are some exceptional channels that are one-way only.

"I've conducted tests using a remote-controlled Tank. There was no response after passing through. Right now, I have two hypotheses: one is that the channel is one-way, and the remote-controlled Tank can't return. The other is that the other end of the spatial channel is far from our location, making it impossible for signals to traverse," Lily calmly presented her analysis.

"Build a Base over there, and I'll be there soon."

This matter could be significant or inconsequential. If the spatial channel was naturally formed and remained dormant for so many years, it indicates that the other side is concealed in a highly secretive location and is unlikely to be discovered easily.

However, if the spatial channel is artificially created, things could become complicated. Only by going there in person could they gain the necessary insights.

Before long, the Sub-base was established. Su Chen directly brought several of his Super Soldiers to this satellite. This was Su Chen's first time entering an oxygen-free environment in his original form. With his current Small Galaxy-level power, he could easily accomplish this feat.

It was a strange sensation. However, he could sense that his energy was gradually depleting. Without a constant source of energy in space, even a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse wouldn't last long.

Most importantly, while Small Galaxy-level experts could stroll through space, their speed left much to be desired. Compared to that, traveling in a spaceship or a Warship was more efficient.

The group arrived directly at Lily's location. It was a desolate rocky area. Several meters above the ground, the spatial aspect of the area gave off a peculiar feeling, making it easy to detect the spatial anomaly.

"Commander, should we conduct live experiments? After all, we have many Ghost Clan prisoners on hand," Lily suggested.

Although they controlled the Ghost Clan, the captured Ghost Clan members could not be released. They were a valuable food source for the Rabbit and essential experimental material.

"Not for now. Let Taru and me investigate," Yun Ru said.

Yun Ru specialized in researching the spatial technology left behind by the Qiluo Civilization. In terms of spatial technology knowledge, no one at the entire Red Alert Base could surpass her.

She took out various instruments from her personal space and began studying right there. Taru, with a spherical body, moved around freely, as if measuring something.

Su Chen didn't rush; he stood there waiting. Several days passed in this manner.

Yun Ru, excited, came to Su Chen and pointed at the spatial channel, exclaiming, "Commander, I've figured it out. By reasoning based on the Correlaser theory left by the Qiluo Civilization, along with calculations from the Hovdon formula, and..."

Su Chen interrupted Yun Ru's lengthy explanation, saying, "I don't understand. Just give me the results."

Yun Ru pouted, seemingly a little displeased with Su Chen for interrupting her, but then she continued, "The conclusion is that this spatial channel is bidirectional, and most importantly, it's artificially constructed."

Su Chen's expression remained unchanged; this was within his expectations, but it was the worst-case scenario.

Not only was it bidirectional, but it was also artificial. This raised a question: who constructed this spatial channel, and was it related to the Qiluo Civilization?

"It's not the Qiluo Civilization. Any spatial channel constructed by the Qiluo Civilization would have a hidden marker. I can find it, but I haven't seen any markers on this spatial channel."

Su Chen thought for a moment. "Since it's bidirectional, send someone over to investigate."

"Is it necessary to use captives?" Tanya inquired.

"No, captives can't provide feedback. If they don't return directly, we won't have any means to retrieve them. We'll send our own soldiers!" Su Chen replied.

In reality, Su Chen knew that his actions were somewhat risky, but life was not always smooth sailing, and sometimes one had to take risks.

This was like a timed bomb, and not having control over it left Su Chen feeling restless.

Soon, a group of Red Alert troops gathered at the location.

Each of them wore spacesuits and appeared eager, with armored vehicles like Tanks prepared. They used Anti-Gravity Devices on top to counteract the satellite's gravity; otherwise, they would have floated away.

Flying weapons were impractical here, so they simply dragged them along. According to Yun Ru, this was a bidirectional channel, so they could return as well.

The issue was that they didn't know what kind of environment awaited them on the other side. If it were a cliff or a ten-thousand-meter drop, that would be troublesome.

"Commander, which unit should serve as the vanguard?" Ju Ling asked.

"Have the Red Alert soldiers pilot Celestial Armor to explore the surroundings within a ten-kilometer radius and report back immediately," Su Chen instructed.

Celestial Armor, apart from being unable to penetrate the ground, could handle any other terrain with ease. Coupled with the well-balanced abilities of the Red Alert soldiers, Su Chen had full confidence in them.

Five Celestial Armor suits emerged from the formation and saluted Su Chen before heading towards the spatial channel.

In the blink of an eye, the Celestial Armor suits disappeared, having traversed the spatial channel to an unknown location. Su Chen had no idea where they had gone.

Su Chen realized that he could communicate freely with his subordinates but only within a limited range. If the distance was too great, it would become ineffective. According to the System, this ability would gradually unlock as he obtained higher-level permissions in the second sequence, and it would also become stronger.

For now, he could only contact his subordinates within the range of a Small Galaxy. Beyond that, it would not work. Otherwise, Su Chen would have contacted his subordinates on Earth long ago.

Approximately ten minutes later, all five Celestial Armor suits returned.

They immediately began reporting, but what they described left everyone present bewildered.

According to them, on the other side of the spatial channel was a devastated planet. It seemed as though the planet had experienced numerous world wars, with destruction everywhere, and the air carried traces of nuclear radiation!

The world on the other side had already harnessed nuclear weaponry!

"No signs of life?" Su Chen furrowed his brow.

"None within a radius of ten kilometers," they confirmed.

Su Chen contemplated for a moment and decided to establish a base on the other side now. He would gradually investigate the situation there further. Dealing with a completely unfamiliar world called for caution. (To be continued)
