Earth Era - v2 Chapter 396
In the vast space, a huge spaceship is slowly advancing. Its constantly flashing lights indicate that it is in autopilot mode at the moment, and the slightly dark hull armor indicates that it must have traveled a long distance to get here.
There is a bright star in front of it. Although there are tens of billions of kilometers away at this moment, the star still looks dazzling and magnificent.
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away from this spacecraft, there is also a spacecraft with an obvious architectural style of human civilization. The difference is that the spacecraft is annular, with a huge ring and a huge cabin in the center forming its hull. Its orbit is also an orbital orbit, which shows that it has been orbiting the star in the distance, not like the spacecraft that came here from an unknown place.
A staff member is now in the central cabin of the ring, quietly looking at the star in the distance. Next to him, another staff member floated over, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “Are you in a daze again?”
The staff member recovered from his thoughts and responded, “Yeah, if we don’t take advantage of it for a while now, I’m afraid we won’t have a chance in the future.”
Another staff member’s face became more disdain: “What’s so beautiful about Phoenix? It can’t be compared to our sun. And if it goes well, after a hibernation, we will be able to once again. Back in the solar system.”
The staff member smiled: “After all, we have lived here for more than 300 years. After a long time, there will always be a little emotion.”
“I’m fed up with this place.” Another staff member said with anguish, “If I say, the Führer should not make any repairs here at all, but should set off and return immediately after receiving the gravitational wave broadcast. Go to the solar system. Without the threat of the robot army, even if something happens on the road, it can be solved on the road, so why waste time here?”
“It is still necessary to repair it here.” The staff member said, “Our resource reserves have been exhausted after thousands of years of flight, and the spaceships in the fleet have also suffered many damages. If we do not repair them properly. , I’m afraid there will be many more risks on the way back – anyway, we will go back sooner or later, so why rush?”
Another staff member said angrily: “If we could have known that Mr. Xiao Yun could find a way to wipe out the robot group, why would we flee to this remote and desolate place?”
“Things in this world are always beyond the expectations of many people. When making the decision to escape, how could we know that it was our human civilization that won in the end? – This result is not bad, we Don’t expect too much. At least we have a chance to return home, and those who died in the disaster never have this chance again.”
As the topic progressed here, the atmosphere became a little heavy. After a short silence, the staff member said: “Is the situation normal recently? How many spaceships have passed by?”
When it comes to work, the staff member’s tone became serious: “In the past month, a total of seventeen interstellar transport ships have passed through here, and we have assigned specific channels and ports to enter smoothly. Arrived inside the galaxy. The staff on the spacecraft are all normal, and the resource collection and storage work are all normal.”
“It’s fine.” The staff member breathed a sigh of relief: “The fleet repair work has come to an end, and it is expected that in the next period of time, the number of spacecraft returning from alien galaxies will become less and less. But we must not Slacking off. If we don’t receive an order to return one day, we have to stick to our post for one day.”
“Don’t worry…” The staff member said with a smile. But before the words were finished, a mechanically synthesized neutral voice entered the ears of the two of them: “Event number 83654. Our wide-area sky survey system has detected that a heavy transport ship is approaching. Please related The staff immediately contacted the other party and informed the other party of the channel and speed to enter the galaxy, as well as the assigned port. If necessary, please provide assistance to the other party as much as possible.”
Hearing this message, the two looked at each other and said with a smile, “Let’s go, there’s work to do again.”
The two staff left the central cabin and came to the communication room. After a while, a message left here and entered the vast space: “Hello, this is the No. 71 extragalactic liaison inspection base. Please inform us of your specific mission number and spacecraft number, and we will provide you with it. Allocating channels and ports, and you need to conduct a preliminary inspection of your spacecraft. Only after obtaining the “Entry Permit” issued by us, your spacecraft can enter the interior of the galaxy. Please reply, thank you.”
At this moment, the spaceship is still about 90 million kilometers away from here. This also means a two-way communication delay of up to ten minutes. So the staff waited quietly for ten minutes. But after ten minutes passed, the spacecraft did not reply any information.
The staff called again, and as before, no reply message came.
The two looked at each other, and both saw a dignified look in the other’s eyes.
This is very rare. Generally speaking, all spacecraft entering the system will first receive permission from the liaison inspection base before they can enter the galaxy. This is already a necessary procedure for inter-galactic navigation, and no one will ignore this.
“The current speed of this spacecraft is 10,000 kilometers per second. It is expected to reach the closest point to our base in two hours. At that time, the distance will be shortened to 10 million kilometers.” The staff next to him said in a deep voice .
The leading staff pondered for a moment and said decisively, “Get ready for action. Let’s take a look on the spacecraft.”
As he spoke, he rang the alarm bell. Under the loud alarm, many staff quickly gathered here from the rest of the cabins.
“One of the ships didn’t answer our call,” he said very quickly. “Now we’re going to that ship for a field inspection. Special operations team, you and I will go there on the fast-passing ship, take care to bring your weapons and Personal life support equipment. The rest of the people, etc., report the situation to the superior immediately, and keep calling the spacecraft. If there is any situation, report to me immediately.”
“Yes!” Everyone agreed together, and then quickly dispersed. After only five minutes, a small spaceship left the base and quickly disappeared into the vast space.
About two hours later, the small spacecraft had come to the vicinity of the heavy transport ship. After just one glance, the leading staff member frowned: “It’s actually in autopilot mode? Haven’t the astronauts in this spacecraft been trained?”
“This is the Nimbus heavy transport ship. They set off to collect rare minerals in the No. 823 system ten years ago, and then disconnected from the main base. Their original return date was three months ago.” A staff member said quickly.
Humans have long been capable of superluminal communication between galaxies, but now is a special period, and superluminal communication instruments are too huge and precious. For the sake of cost savings, most of the spacecraft that go out to other galaxies to perform missions will not be equipped with superluminal communication instruments. This also means that once these spaceships go out, they will disconnect from the main base of the fleet.
“We have made 691 calls to the spacecraft in total, and we have not yet received a response from the other party.”
The headed staff frowned deeply. After thinking for a moment, he decisively gave the order: “Approach the other spacecraft. Put on personal life support equipment. Let’s take a look inside the spacecraft.”
The small fast-passing ship was slowly attached to the outer armor of the heavy transport ship. Several astronauts in space suits left, and, driven by personal push equipment, came to the door of the heavy transport ship.
The spaceship door was originally not openable from the outside. However, these inspectors have the highest authority to operate the spacecraft~www.mtlnovel.com~ These modules have been embedded into the program when the spacecraft is manufactured, and relevant communication interfaces are reserved. Therefore, after the leading staff entered the relevant instructions, the hatch was slowly opened.
Several staff members quickly entered it, and then the outer cabin door was closed, and after filling with gas, the inner cabin door also slowly opened.
Before the inner cabin door began to open, several special operators had already entered a state of combat readiness. The energy weapon has already been charged and pointed forward. Once there is an abnormal situation, the energy gun will be fired immediately.
The heavy cabin door slowly lifted, slowly presenting the world behind the door to the special forces team members and the leading staff member. At this moment, everyone’s pupils shrank at the same time. Even a well-trained special forces player dropped the energy gun in his hand to the ground because he was too shocked.
“What… what’s going on here? What did they encounter? God…”
“Is this hell? Why is this? Why? …”
“We’re in trouble, we’re in trouble.” The headed staff was sweating coldly at this moment, and his face became pale, “Call the main base immediately, immediately! Let’s not act rashly and wait for the order.”
A signal was sent from the fast-passing ship, came to the liaison inspection base, and was sent from the liaison inspection base to the main base. After the person in charge of the main base saw this information, he immediately reported it to his superiors. And his superiors quickly sent it to the head of state’s desk.
“Order the military to take over this spaceship. Order the scientific research department to cooperate with the military, and immediately find out what’s going on for me.” The head of state’s eyes were full of grimness: “No one may leak information about this matter without my permission. any information on the matter.”
