The Last Commander of the Red Alert

"Commander, we've made a new discovery in our research on Milky Way Water!"

One day, Yun Ru's excited voice suddenly rang out, jolting Su Chen awake from his slumber.

Su Chen glanced outside, and it was pitch black. His lips twitched involuntarily.

Couldn't you have checked the time before contacting me?

But he quickly realized that Yun Ru's operational laboratory on the warship operated around the clock, just like daytime. She probably had no idea what time it was.

"Hold on, I'll be right there."

Su Chen didn't say much more and quickly got dressed, then teleported directly to the operational laboratory on the warship where Yun Ru was located.

Research on Milky Way Water had to be conducted within the Milky Way's boundaries. Once you left the Milky Way, Milky Way Water turned into ordinary water.

As soon as Su Chen entered, he saw Yun Ru, dressed in a white lab coat, completely engrossed in examining the instruments in front of her, not even noticing Su Chen's arrival.

Upon hearing Su Chen's voice, Yun Ru finally snapped out of it. Her small face was filled with an incredulous expression as she pulled Su Chen over to the instruments and pointed at a pile of analytical data inside, saying, "Commander, let me tell you, from this data analysis, its Holschg coefficient is abnormal. After my calculations and inputting..."

Su Chen promptly interrupted Yun Ru, "You know I don't understand your technical jargon. Just tell me the results."

Yun Ru pouted. This was her hard-earned research result. Couldn't she show off a bit?

"Fine, the result is that some components in Milky Way Water are very similar to Blue Crystal & Red Crystal."

This time, it was Su Chen's turn to be shocked. Blue Crystal & Red Crystal was the culprit responsible for causing mutations on Earth. Later, the Red Alert Empire conquered many planets, and they also found small quantities of Blue Crystal & Red Crystal on some planets with biological mutations. This indicated that Blue Crystal & Red Crystal must have a source.

If Yun Ru's results were correct, could it be that the source of Blue Crystal & Red Crystal was... the Milky Way?

"Wait a minute, those substances in Milky Way Water are supposed to disappear once they leave the Milky Way, right? How did they form Blue Crystal & Red Crystal outside?" Su Chen suddenly thought of this question.

"I'm not sure about that. It may be similar substances but not the same. According to the Empire's current intelligence, there are many substances in the Universe that can promote biological evolution, but they cannot control the direction. The effect is similar to Red Crystal. Only Blue Crystal can precisely control the degree of evolution. If there is Blue Crystal in Milky Way Water, then evolution should not be uncontrollable," Yun Ru explained, deep in thought.

After thinking for a while, Yun Ru didn't come to any conclusions. She sighed, "It seems I need more time for research. This time, I'll need Commander's permission to use the Blue Crystal & Red Crystal samples kept in the main base."

"Sure, when necessary, you can conduct biological experiments. We've recently captured many Universe species."

Su Chen never considered Universe species as equals. If they became his subordinates, that was one thing, but for some captives, they were nothing more than experimental materials.

"Haha, Commander, wait for my good news!" Yun Ru was overjoyed.

Although Yun Ru couldn't prove it for now, the fact that Milky Way Water had the ability to promote biological evolution was undeniable.

Super Soldiers who had already undergone several evolutions didn't need it, but other types of soldiers didn't have as many opportunities for evolution.

Purchasing evolution opportunities directly requires more Energy Points than the gradual consumption of Milky Way Water's side effects. Calculating it this way, allowing Red Alert troops to directly interact with Milky Way Water would actually lower the cost of evolution.

However, since Energy Points are not unlimited, allowing all Red Alert troops to use Milky Way Water for evolution would be impractical. It should only be provided to important troops or individuals who have made significant contributions to the Empire.

Human Emperor!

This was the first person Su Chen thought of. He immediately came to the Red Alert World and contacted Zhu Hui and others.

"Brother, what urgent matter made you call us at this time?" Zhu Hui asked curiously.

This wasn't a formal occasion, so Zhu Hui was more casual.

Su Chen directly said, "Of course, it's good news that brought me to you, my old friend."

Zhu Hui's eyes lit up. The fact that Su Chen had called them to the Red Alert World was definitely something out of the ordinary.

"Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us," Emperor Kong urged from the side.

"Haha, didn't you all envy Ju Ling and her group for their numerous evolution opportunities? Well, now you can evolve too."

Speaking of this matter, it did indeed make the Human Emperors envious. In battles against peers, they were no match for Super Soldiers like Ju Ling. Only when they inquired did they realize that Ju Ling and the others had undergone multiple evolutions, making their strength far surpass theirs, even though they were of the same level.

The unfortunate part was that evolution was a highly individualized process and couldn't be forced. They could only envy.

The main reason was that Zhu Hui and the other Human Emperors were technically ministers under Su Chen, not members of the Red Alert Base. Su Chen didn't have the authority to directly provide them with evolution opportunities through the System.

Su Chen respected the Human Emperors, which was why he didn't have the System mark them as members of the Base. If they wanted to evolve, they would have to rely on their own efforts or have some extraordinary encounter.

Now, Milky Way Water was that extraordinary encounter, brought to them by Su Chen.

"Really?" The Human Emperors were taken aback.

They had left many hidden dangers in their bodies during the Dark Age, and even with current technology, those issues couldn't be resolved unless they completely replaced their bodies.

But for people like them, getting a new body didn't feel like being themselves anymore, so they had declined. The consequence was that their strength improvement was far behind that of Su Chen's Super Soldiers.

Among the Human Emperors today, Zhu Hui was the strongest with Small Galaxy Fourth Tier strength, while the weakest was Western Emperor, who had just broken through to Small Galaxy First Tier.

They couldn't compare to Super Soldiers who were often at the Large Galaxy level.

It wasn't that they weren't trying hard; it was just that they hadn't experienced evolution, so their physical foundations were too low.

Throughout the Universe, no matter which race, everyone was constantly evolving. The more times they evolved, the higher their potential, and their strength would also increase accordingly.

If a special evolution occurred, like in Ju Ling's case, altering the direction of evolution directly, it would be even more extraordinary.

Faced with the temptation of evolution, even the Human Emperors couldn't remain calm.

"Put aside what you're doing and come to the Milky Way gateway. I'll be waiting for you here."
