In the coming period, Tang Rui would often visit the physics research institute, bringing out all the research materials he had previously worked on to share with everyone. This included the closely guarded information on quantum communication technology and quantum light information capture technology, among others, which he now made available to all.

The scientists were unaware of the catastrophe facing the Milky Way.

Even astronomers were in the dark, still studying various information about alien spacecraft and making conjectures.

Therefore, when everyone received the various materials provided by Tang Rui, they threw themselves into research with fervent enthusiasm, as if invigorated with new energy. Several theories even achieved breakthroughs. However, Tang Rui was not particularly excited about these breakthroughs. They were not innovative breakthroughs but merely incremental improvements on existing theories.

At this rate of research, humanity could enter a true interstellar era within a hundred years, rather than the premature technological breakthroughs currently being made.

Unfortunately, there was no time for humanity to develop slowly.

A month later, he was called for a closed-door meeting.

Only 25 people attended the meeting.

After more than ten days of discussion, the future of humanity was decided.

The escape plan was simple, dependent on when Tang Rui was ready.

Once Tang Rui was ready, they would immediately relocate, leaving the Milky Way for the Virgo Cluster to develop further.

The decision was made to leave Earth behind, so the plan did not involve relocating any population. Instead, safe bases would be constructed globally, and various supplies would be stockpiled in advance.

The rest was left to Tang Rui.

Given the current level of human technology, avoiding the Milky Way crisis was virtually impossible.

They had to trust Tang Rui’s claim that he could take Earth and run.

Don’t ask him how.

Even he didn’t know, without upgrading the equipment, how he would manage to take Earth with him.

After the meeting, Tang Rui became the chief in charge of the Earth Relocation Plan.

He could mobilize all of humanity’s strength and resources, and no one would oppose whatever he wanted to do.

Simply put, he could do as he pleased.

If it were before, he might have tried something fanciful, but he was not in the mood for that now.

Earthly matters no longer interested him.

What he needed to do now was relocate Earth to the Virgo Cluster and, after settling humanity, he could go on his adventures.

Returning to the company, Tang Rui asked Red Lotus to design the Star Ring.

He wasn’t planning on attaching an engine to Earth.

But to take the entire Earth, it had to be encased, so he opted for constructing a Star Ring to envelop the planet.

The Star Ring’s function was, of course, a planet-scale jump engine.

“Master, the Star Ring design is complete, with an estimated construction time of 26 years.”

“Don’t rush the Star Ring construction. With your current computing power, how many robots can you control at once? Specifically, those that can work in outer space,” Tang Rui inquired after hearing the timeline.

26 years was too long; he thought doing it within five years was more reasonable.

The reason for the five-year delay was his need to accumulate source points. If not for the significant gap in source points, he would have liked to relocate Earth to the Virgo Cluster within five months.

“Master, for construction purposes, with Red Lotus’s current computing power, 30 billion engineering robots can be controlled for precise operations.

If more robots are added, the precision of construction will decrease, and the spare computing power will be insufficient, easily leading to problems.”

After hearing this, Tang Rui decided to upgrade Red Lotus first.

Without Red Lotus, he couldn’t manage the upcoming tasks.

The current computing power of Red Lotus was a bit stretched.

“Hmm, how many spherical robots can the equipment in the warehouse produce?”

“Master, the warehouse equipment can only produce 3,780 spherical robots.”

“Bring over a hundred sets of parts first, then continue producing parts to store up for a hundred thousand robots.”

“Understood, Master. Red Lotus is on it.”

Soon, a bunch of robots transported the parts to the laboratory.

Tang Rui sat at the workbench and began assembling spherical robots.

He had no choice.

Without source points, he couldn’t upgrade Red Lotus and had to accumulate some source points first.

These spherical robots were specially designed to help him accumulate source points.

For every spherical robot manufactured,

Tang Rui would gain 62 source points.

It might not sound like much, but these spherical robots were simple to make, similar to assembling toy cars, even simpler.

They were all designed modularly, and it only took five minutes to assemble one spherical robot, which was very efficient.

It wasn’t that Tang Rui didn’t want to make the process simpler.

The key issue was that simpler processes wouldn’t be recognized by the system panel.

This spherical robot was the optimal solution after repeated testing.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed.

One day, Tang Rui arrived at a large mountain’s depths.

This place was the largest war-ready base of the national underground nuclear fortress, previously stocked with various military and living supplies.

Even if a nuclear winter occurred, the materials and data stored here could support fifty thousand people to survive and rebuild human civilization.

But that was all in the past.

Now, the place had been emptied, and all supplies had been relocated.

Currently, the war-ready warehouse was filled with quantum superconducting supercomputers, the latest models of supercomputers.

And there were as many as three hundred thousand of these supercomputers.

Tang Rui went to the control center of the main computer room.

“Red Lotus, perform a self-check.”

“Master, self-check complete. All supercomputers are functioning normally, the independent energy supply system is working, and the circulating cooling system is operating as expected.”

After hearing this, Tang Rui looked down at the mainframe.

He looked at the system panel on the mainframe and pressed the enhance button.

With over eight thousand source points used up, the massive superconductor computer cluster began to undergo an enhancement upgrade, with the core mainframe experiencing the most significant changes.

Originally, the core mainframe was just Red Lotus’s original supercomputer body.

Even though its computing power was stronger than others, it was essentially no different.

But now, with the system panel’s enhancement, the mainframe transformed from a cabinet-style mainframe into a floating sphere in mid-air, resembling a crystal on the outside but containing a neural signal network similar to the human brain on the inside, looking like a dazzling starry sky.

As the mainframe’s virtual image solidified, Red Lotus’s projection reappeared.

At this point, Red Lotus had evolved from a simple advanced artificial intelligence to an intelligent life form acting as the central brain of a planetary integrated management system..
