Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 738 - 372: Which Year Did You Set Off?_2
Of course, the complete Star Chart is an imperial secret.
The one on this battleship is just a small part, recording only the positions of some planets along the route.
But even this small part is enough for time calibration.
After comparing with the Star Chart, the battleship’s system time quickly changed.
"Year 29735 of the Expedition Era..."
Everyone looked at the numbers on the system screen, all with faces full of shock.
Zhang Chenfeng, however, had an expression of certainty.
"What’s going on here, did you tamper with the system data?"
Everyone was puzzled, suspecting that Zhang Chenfeng was behind it.
But Zhang Chenfeng shook his head and said, "If I really betrayed you, wanting to kill you or even brainwash and change your consciousness would be just a thought away, why bother with such a hassle?"
Hearing this, everyone knew that Zhang Chenfeng was telling the truth.
He was too powerful, and they had no resistance against him at all. Such an influential figure truly had no need to engage in petty conspiracies.
Then what was this all about? Had they really traveled back hundreds of years?
Only that Fourth Rank captain vaguely guessed something.
Zhang Chenfeng was silent for a moment, then answered, "You should know, the nature of Subspace is very chaotic. This chaos manifests not only in space but also in time."
"The time flow rate in Subspace varies greatly depending on the location. Without Navigation, one might mistakenly enter a high-speed time zone and instantly pass through tens of thousands of years, aging and dying immediately..."
Everyone, being warriors of the Galaxy, naturally knew these theories, and they vaguely understood what Zhang Chenfeng meant by his words.
"Are you saying we’re the same..."
Zhang Chenfeng nodded and said, "Exactly! The temporal chaos in Subspace has intensified! Not only has the time flow rate changed, but the entire timeline has also become chaotic."
"This is why you embarked in 30427 but arrived in 29735."
"You have achieved time travel!"
Though everyone had already guessed what Zhang Chenfeng was about to say, hearing him say it out loud still felt absurd—how could this be possible?
Arriving hundreds of years before departure!
They had never heard of such a thing!
Even the Radiant Emperor, whose brilliance illuminated the Star Sea, had never been known to achieve time travel.
Let alone them, just a handful of small Galaxy Warriors?
Zhang Chenfeng saw their disbelief, shook his head slightly, and said, "Before seeing you, I also didn’t believe it. I’ve always been researching the Power of Time, hoping to achieve time travel, but unfortunately, I’ve never been successful."
"But now I finally understand why it never worked."
Zhang Chentao’s eyes were deep, as if observing something unknown: "The problem lies not with me but with Subspace itself."
"Subspace has undergone some changes, and the chaos in time has worsened!"
Hearing this, everyone fell into a long silence.
Facing such a bizarre situation, they also didn’t know what to do.
After a while, the Fourth Rank captain asked, "Then have you actually betrayed us? What about our mission? And where are the rest of the command group?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chenfeng laughed: "Since it’s a matter of the future, how would I know? Although I can see some aspects of the future, it’s not comprehensive. Being separated by hundreds of years, I can’t see clearly, and with your variables, it’s even more unclear."
"As for your mission, it’s naturally void. You can report it to the Empire and make your excuses to them."
"As for your command group, they should still be waging war deep in the starry skies or resting on the Base Planet."
"As for where they are in 30427, that I don’t know."
Upon hearing this, the Galaxy Warriors were even more startled.
What? Reporting to the Empire for debriefing?
They took on the mission in 30427 and now report to the Empire of 29735, can this even be handed over? Isn’t this ridiculous?
And the command group still waging war deep in the starry skies?
Yes, if now is 29735, the command group is naturally fine, only these ten or so unfortunate ones have traveled back.
Moreover, this also brought another issue: they are from 30427. So where are they now in 29735?
Could it be they each have two selves now? What does this mean?
Zhang Chenfeng saw their concerns and said, "Don’t worry, go ahead and report to the Empire. They must have anticipated and researched this kind of situation."
"Perhaps this has happened many times before, but you weren’t high-ranking enough to be aware of it. Even I only had some guesses before and hadn’t encountered a case."
"Your battleship has undergone time travel, with some issues in its time system. Come to the Azure Space Station and use its equipment to contact the Empire."
After speaking, Zhang Chenfeng’s silhouette vanished.
Once Zhang Chenfeng left, the terrifying pressure immediately disappeared, and everyone regained their normal ability to move.
They looked at each other, still immersed in shock.
Time travel? Can such a thing really happen?
Although they were all strong warriors of the Third Rank and even Fourth Rank, and had been exposed to related theories, they had never heard of successful cases. Now, suddenly experiencing time travel, even the most strong-willed warriors were a bit bewildered.
However, being battle-hardened, they quickly composed themselves, left the battleship, and headed toward the Azure Space Station.
They all possessed great strength and wore battle armor, allowing them to undertake short flights in the Cosmic Vacuum without any tools, flying directly out.
Soon, they arrived at the Azure Space Station, 100,000 kilometers away.
Inside the space station, Zhang Chenfeng’s projection appeared once more, leading them to the space station’s long-range communication device. Using the Spirit Speaker’s ability, they connected with the Empire’s core.
The vastness of the Galaxy presented significant challenges to communication.
Even with the Empire’s advanced technology, it required the Extraordinary Ability of the Spirit Speaker, along with special mechanical equipment, to achieve real-time communication.
Each activation consumed a massive amount of energy.
These Galaxy Warriors had undergone extensive Transformation, and their battle armor was also forged by the Empire.
At the moment of connection, the chips implanted in their bodies verified the signal authorization.
They immediately realized this was an actual communication, not a fabrication by Zhang Chenfeng.
Unless Zhang Chenfeng possessed power comparable to the Radiant Emperor, he couldn’t tamper with such an authorization.
If the communication was genuine, then what Zhang Chenfeng had just said... was also true?
After verification, the Galaxy Warriors, with anxious hearts, initiated targeted communication.
For reporting to the higher-ups, they naturally first selected their direct superior.
Soon, in the communication projection, they saw their command group leader... the disappeared command group leader!
That Fifth Rank command group leader was indeed doing well in this space-time.
He seemed to be resting on the Base Planet at the moment.
Both sides were somewhat surprised by the encounter.
The Galaxy Warriors were astonished because they saw their missing command group leader, further proving Zhang Chenfeng’s theory.
The command group leader, however, noticed... this squad in the communication was supposedly resting on the Base Planet as well, so how did they suddenly end up millions of light-years away at Azure Star? What’s going on?
Despite his bewilderment, the command group leader concealed his emotions, quietly listening to this squad’s report.
A moment later, he also showed a startled expression.
After a while, the command group leader suddenly vanished from the communication screen, reappearing shortly with a squad of over ten people.
That squad was almost identical to the one on Azure Star, or rather, they were the same group of people!
It’s just that the ones on Azure Star were a bit older, with two or three people different.
That’s because, over the hundreds of years, some members of this squad had perished, replaced by new ones.
However, most remained unchanged, still the same people!
The two groups stared across tens of thousands of light-years, locking eyes in silence.
And Zhang Chenfeng watched all this, revealing an expression of keen interest...
