Chapter 217 Global Preparations, Expedition to the Dreamland!
Launch an expedition to an enemy's lair located in an alternate dimension.
This decision is nothing short of insane.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is insane!
They only thought about how to defend themselves, and never took the initiative to attack like Su Chen.
Humanity's understanding of the dream dimension is almost entirely blank.
All conventional physical weapons would likely turn into a pile of scrap metal there.
This is fundamentally an asymmetrical war.
"Advisor, this is too risky."
Lin Xue was the first to raise her concerns:
"We know nothing about the enemy. If we venture deep into enemy territory rashly, the expeditionary force could be wiped out if something goes wrong."
"I agree with Lin Xue's opinion," Shen Mo said.
"We don't have any vehicles that can travel in the dream dimension, nor do we have any weapons that can fight in that environment. This war is unwinnable."
"Who said there isn't?"
Su Chen's gaze fell on Shen Mo.
He transmitted the complete data of the "Dream Beacon" along with his preliminary analysis of the laws governing the dimensions of dreams to Shen Mo.
"Now, we have it," Su Chen said.
"Shen Mo, I want you to use all the resources of the Spark Lab and the 'Prophet' to build a 'Dream Legion' for us as quickly as possible."
"First, focus all efforts on producing the second generation of 'psychic weapons,' especially the 'Anti-Dream Helmet,' ensuring that every member of the expedition team has one."
"Furthermore, based on this, standard weapons that can convert mental energy into attacks were developed."
"Second, build a brand new flagship."
"It doesn't need strong physical defenses or firepower, but it must be able to bear the spirit and will of all of us!"
"Like a submarine, it dives into the deep sea of dreams. I named it—'Dream Thief'."
Shen Mo looked at the massive, imaginative design blueprints and theories in his mind.
My whole body trembled. This wasn't technology anymore; this was theology!
"I...I'll do my best!" he said through gritted teeth.
Su Chen then looked at Liu Yiyi.
"Liu Yiyi, your task is to select and train our soldiers. The expeditionary force doesn't need to be large, but each one must be an awakened individual with the strongest spirit and the most unwavering will."
"You must teach them how to stay awake in their dreams and how to resist mental pollution."
"You are our expedition's 'warrior'."
Liu Yiyi nodded solemnly: "No problem, leave it to me."
Everyone listened with great enthusiasm, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
That's the decision!
A global preparation for "Expedition to the Dream" has been launched with unprecedented efficiency and in full swing.
The operation was launched swiftly, with all parties sending a steady stream of resources to provide a strong rear-end supply.
The entire Earth is vast and bustling with activity.
The entire Earth Alliance's resources are being channeled towards this project.
Countless factories began operating around the clock, producing the special materials needed to manufacture "psychic weapons".
A brand-new, secret dock specifically built for the construction of the "Dream Thief" has risen on the far side of the moon.
A month later.
Thanks to the efforts of countless scientists and engineers, and with the near-cheating computing power of the "Prophet".
The first "mind warship" in human history capable of dimensional travel—the "Dream Thief"—has been officially completed.
The warship's shape resembles a giant spindle made of silvery, fluid metal.
Its surface has no gun muzzle or porthole.
Only countless blue energy lines, like the meridians of a living organism, flowed slowly, creating a sense of mystery and sci-fi beauty.
Meanwhile, a "Dream Entry Force" composed of five hundred top awakened individuals has also completed its initial training.
Zhao Gang was appointed as the supreme military commander of this expedition without any doubt.
The choice of the other commander, however, was unexpected by everyone.
It's Ye Chen.
During the dream resistance training organized by Liu Yiyi, Ye Chen displayed astonishing talent.
Other awakened individuals can only endure the simulated nightmare environment for a maximum of ten minutes before experiencing a mental breakdown.
Ye Chen, however, could stay inside for several hours, and even analyze the structure and weaknesses of the dream.
This is simply a miracle.
Everyone was curious about how this guy managed to do it.
"Hehe, I know you're all confused!" Ye Chen smiled slightly; he had no intention of hiding anything.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Ye Chen finally confessed a secret he had kept hidden for a long time.
"My race, long, long ago, was not a purely material being."
He stood before the crowd and slowly explained:
"We are a kind of creature that lives in the gap between reality and dreams. We feed on the beautiful dreams of other creatures, just the opposite of the 'Nightmare'."
"Later, due to a catastrophe that affected the entire dimension, we were forced to abandon the dream form and choose to enter the material world."
Holy crap!
After hearing what Ye Chen said, everyone stared in shock.
This secret surprised everyone.
No one expected that this low-profile alien survivor would be the natural enemy of the "Nightmare"!
"I can feel the call of that 'nightmare kingdom,' a stench of decay and depravity that makes me feel nauseous."
A flash of deep-seated hatred crossed Ye Chen's eyes:
"I can find the safest route for you in the ocean of dreams."
Thus, Ye Chen became the "navigator" and "translator" for this expedition.
His presence significantly increased the success rate of this seemingly crazy expedition.
Everything is ready.
The "Dream Thief" is quietly moored in a secret port on the far side of the moon.
Su Chen's avatar stood in the center of the massive bridge.
There are no physical buttons or screens here; the entire bridge is just a giant psycho-sensing matrix.
Zhao Gang, Ye Chen, and five hundred soldiers from the "Dream Unit" all sat cross-legged in their respective sensor chambers and closed their eyes.
Their spirit has become one with the entire warship.
Liu Yiyi's illusory image slowly appeared beside Su Chen. She would serve as support from the rear, providing purification and healing to the expeditionary force at any time.
Su Chen looked at the distant and sinister red dot on the star map and took a deep breath.
His voice, through the mental connection, resounded in the minds of every soldier.
"Activate the Dimensional Engine. Target: Nightmare Realm!"
The blue patterns on the surface of the "Dream Thief" suddenly lit up, and the entire ship began to become illusory and transparent.
Finally, in a silent distortion of space.
It vanished into thin air on the far side of the moon, as if it had never existed.
