So no matter how Zhou Qing denies it or how he comforts himself, it doesn't really matter.
He also knew that he had probably gone to another universe, which was very tragic news.
To return to his own universe, he would need to build a civilization as large as his previous federation and then develop its technology.
He wants to go home...
Chapter 22 A Small Force Begins to Take Shape
With the help of a large number of federal engineering robots, an underground city was quickly built.
Zhou Qing also brought all the children he had collected during this period to this city.
Although the city is still in its early stages, its total population has already reached 37.
This population is insignificant for a civilization, but for Zhou Qing at this moment, it is equivalent to the beginning.
Zhou Qing took out a large number of teacher robots from his small backpack and began to educate these children.
They were old enough to be in school in the Federation, so Zhou Qing naturally wouldn't let them continue playing.
However, at the very beginning of the lessons, the Federation's educational robots were amazed by the children's basic knowledge.
They couldn't understand why these children didn't understand even the most basic knowledge, not even the knowledge of a first-year student in the Federation!
These children have such poor foundational knowledge that it's not what one would expect from humans in an interstellar civilization.
Sometimes these educational robots even complain that they'd rather teach those dull-witted rock creatures than these children.
Because of the Federation's highly advanced technology, a great deal of basic knowledge is ingrained in the DNA of the Federation's people.
In the eyes of many interstellar empires, a human being is considered a qualified intellectual from the moment he is born, even if he is just a small child.
Of course, such knowledge is somewhat outdated.
It can only guarantee that you acquire basic knowledge; higher knowledge requires further education.
At this time, the Federal educational robots that Zhou Qing carried were all manufactured according to the standards of Federal humans.
This has led to a huge generation gap.
The Federation's educational robots encountered an unprecedented Waterloo in their attempt to educate the civilians gathered from the human empire.
No matter how much they emphasized or described the knowledge point, the children in front of them could only shake their heads helplessly; they knew nothing.
After trying for a long time, the Federation's intelligent AI robots finally reported to Zhou Qing.
"I'm sorry, Creator, we cannot educate these children according to your instructions, because they are simply too stupid."
Faced with his own robot reporting its findings, Zhou Qing could only helplessly flutter his wings.
He really didn't know what to do.
As one of the former senior researchers of the Federation of Humanity, his knowledge was quite comprehensive.
It's also quite high-end; he wouldn't know how to teach a child.
To put it simply, the simplest question for the Federation is equivalent to asking a child in the 2000s what 1+1 equals—it's a matter of common sense.
But these kinds of common-sense questions are common-sense to the people of the Federation.
But when people come to the empire, they can't understand anything because they lack the prerequisite knowledge for this.
After a month of training, Zhou Qing looked helplessly at the city where the people he had gathered were still increasing in number.
And Zhou Qing, the educational robot that couldn't learn anything no matter how it was educated, cracked.
It seemed that he only had one path left to take.
By using genetic reconstruction, all people will be reconstructed according to the human knowledge module genes of the Human Federation, so that they can also have that basic knowledge as part of their DNA.
In addition to passing on knowledge, such genetic reconstruction can also improve their physical fitness, making it about twice that of an average person.
They don't possess the same powerful spiritual energy or the robust physique of a genetically engineered being as he does, but they are still much better physically than the people of the ordinary human empire.
The problem is that although he has this equipment, the genes of those people in the human empire are just too bizarre.
I've never seen such bizarre genes before. Each of these guys has a unique gene sequence, and they all have a large number of different genes mixed in with them.
The person Zhou Qing observed during this period contained the most types of genes; his body even had more than 4 types!
When Zhou Qing saw this person, he was amazed. He was very interested in how this guy managed to maintain his human appearance.
This is because the diversity of species and genes means that even with enough genetic modification pods, there is also intelligent AI.
However, the speed of reconstructing the genes of these guys has become extremely slow, with only 1 people being reconstructed per day.
At the same time, during the reconstruction process, due to the diversity and complexity of their respective genes.
The reconstruction of these objects by intelligent AI also requires a large amount of energy and computing power.
To support such consumption, Zhou Qing was forced to manually construct a zero-point reactor.
This round of hand-crafting once again depleted a significant portion of his alloy reserves.
At the same time, genetic modification also requires more genetic materials, which are invaluable to Zhou Qing at this time.
Every day, Zhou Qing felt heartbroken as he watched his dwindling inventory of materials.
However, he was thankful every day that he didn't need to upgrade them to the same level as federal citizens.
Otherwise, with the resources he currently carries, he can only strengthen a maximum of 40 people.
After talking about so many headaches and uncomfortable things, there is still one thing that makes Zhou Qing happy.
The only consolation for him was that he didn't have to worry about food, because the green-skinned vegetables outside were like chives, available in an endless supply.
All we need to do is assign robots to harvest these green saplings there.
When they grow, these robots will capture them all, then select the edible parts and turn the inedible parts back into fertilizer and put them back into the ground.
A perfectly smooth green-skinned killing production line was thus successfully completed.
Meanwhile, whenever the production capacity of Greenskins in a certain area begins to decline, Zhou Qing will have the robots spray energy liquid to make that land fertile again, allowing it to produce Greenskins once more.
Zhou Qing had plenty of this kind of nutrient solution to replenish energy; he could even make it by hand using local resources.
This is perhaps the only good news for Zhou Qing during this period of development; in terms of food, there is no shortage of green farms to provide it with enough food.
Time flew by, and a year passed quickly.
For the entire year, Zhou Qing stayed in his underground city, which had been expanded four times and now had a population of 3.8 million.
This number of people is insignificant to an interstellar civilization, yet when Zhou Qing saw the talents he had cultivated, he still nodded seriously.
Although it's just getting started, it's a good thing.
With proper training over a period of time, these people will be of great use, and he can then lead them to a new planet for colonization.
Over the course of a year, Zhou Qing not only cleaned up the surrounding green structures from time to time to prevent them from affecting his underground city, but also took in 60 ordinary children to become his students.
He personally mentored them, training them to become high-ranking political officials on the planet.
The underground city has developed quite well over the past year. At least it can operate and develop in an orderly manner on its own without Zhou Qing having to interfere.
Moreover, these people also formed their own guard force. Among these 380 million people, they selected the 1 most capable fighters and formed the guard army.
These guards were equipped with power armor made of Tier 1 alloy and Gauss rifles, with a few also carrying light spear rifles.
Most importantly, an interstellar alloy factory has been established here, finally enabling the production of some first and second-grade alloys to make up for Zhou Qingri's increasingly depleted purse, although the production capacity is not large.
At this moment, a small force was finally beginning to take shape.
Chapter 23 Why haven't the human empire's support arrived yet?
Zhou Qing's development went smoothly throughout the year, but things were not so happy in the human empire's nest world.
The green tide that blankets the mountains and plains has already conquered most of the world's nests.
The human empire's army has withdrawn into the largest hive city on the planet.
They were prepared to put up a final stand here.
In reality, if Zhou Qing hadn't sent out troops every day to clean up the green scavengers and can them for his men to eat,
These greenskins had already completely breached the human empire's defenses.
However, it is worth noting that the Krieg Death Legion soldier, who was marked with some spiritual power by Zhou Qing and regarded by him as a quasi-citizen of the Federation, still survived such a long battle.
Zhou Qing still paid close attention to him. Whenever he encountered any danger, the psychic bigmouth would usually appear and take care of it for him.
Furthermore, considering the green coat he was wearing, it was unlikely that it would pose any fatal threat.
This made him one of the few veterans in the Krieg Death Legion with two years and a thousand battles.
Having served for two full years, he has successfully been promoted to colonel in the Krieg Death Regiment.
For the Krieg Death Legion, officers and soldiers are the same.
Judging solely by merit, someone who has lived for two years is naturally a rare existence within the Krieg Death Legion.
Of course, apart from him, the others weren't much better off.
The siege regiment he served in had been replaced six times in a row, meaning that six siege regiments had been wiped out in a year, and he was the last survivor each time.
Now he has another title in the entire Nest City: the Chosen Emperor.
If he wasn't chosen by the emperor, how do you explain his ability to survive every time?
This is the Krieg Death Legion!
Zhou Qing had been paying close attention to the battle on this planet, and he knew very well that these humans probably couldn't hold out.
These greenskins are constantly emerging, with large numbers of them bursting out everywhere. Their reproduction methods are so unique that even their weapons are becoming increasingly powerful.
However, Zhou Qing made no response, and even though the other party was also a fellow human being, he did not send troops to assist these fellow humans.
He was waiting, he was waiting to see what kind of space fleet this so-called human empire had.
This is important; he needs to assess the strength of this human civilization's space fleet.
Theoretically speaking, a planet would be subjected to such a large-scale attack.
If this were within the Federation, the Federation fleet would have already arrived and begun orbital bombardment.
