NOVEL NEXT Chapter 483 What Happened in the Deep Sky
Insect Girl was at the border of the Milky Way, closer to the Disc Galaxy.
Three unknown flying ships quietly flew to this place and stopped in the void.
These spaceships were extremely large, and the largest one was at least 30 kilometers long. The two smaller ships were 16 kilometers long, and they looked like flat ellipsoidal balls at the bottom. They didn't use any traction devices when they were flying. They only installed a relatively simple nuclear fusion system at the tail. They increased their flying speed to 100 kilometers per second.
Perhaps with this kind of flying speed, the spaceship of this civilization came from a very distant galaxy. Of course, the time it took was unimaginable.
“Crew, the computer found an abnormal gravitational disturbance. There might be a high-speed moving meteorite in the void ahead. ”
The few people sitting in front of the computer were staring at the darkness in the distance. This was the outer area of the next Dual Star System. The closest star is 16 billion kilometers away. At this distance, almost most of the planets were below -180 degrees Celsius. In order to save energy, the crew stayed in a relatively small area. They used the heat from the nuclear fusion generator room to maintain the temperature.
Crew heard his friend's words and sat down next to him. After briefly looking at the data, he shook his head and said, “If it's a meteorite, then this piece looks a bit strange, like it's made of black matter.”
“It's not reflective. It's almost undetectable. The sensitivity of the instrument we're using is too high. Maybe it's just a disturbance from afar that interfered with our judgment. ” His friend expressed his thoughts.
The spaceship maintained a uniform speed as it flew, and the device could still receive a weak signal in the direction of the target. And the direction it was flying in was directly in the direction of the target.
After about ten minutes, their detectors discovered the existence in front of them.
It was a creation that looked like a natural law.
Because both parties were flying in the same direction, and the ship was slower than them, they were able to discover it in a short ten minutes.
“What... is that?”
The two guys in front of the screen were stunned. The distance between the two sides was too close, about 20 kilometers away. No wonder they detected a weak fluctuation earlier.
Although the distance was very close, the strange thing was... The signal of the target was still very weak, and the position of the target could not be seen through the optical telescope. Other than the sensitive device that would be disturbed by gravitational interference, only the temperature sensor could roughly simulate the outline of the target.
“I've never encountered such a situation before. It took me at least hundreds of thousands of years to get here from my hometown. Everyone has been asleep for so long, and the equipment is basically in a state of energy-saving rest. It's impossible for us to observe the situation around us. Maybe we've overlooked a lot of similar phenomena.” Crew began to use his own knowledge to understand this sort of thing.
To these individuals who had left for the first time... or rather, those who had escaped from the Mother Star, the universe was mysterious and vast, full of dangers and unknowns.
Unlike Insect Girl, these civilizations' understanding of the universe had always remained at a relatively low level. Other than developing controllable nuclear fusion, their various technologies were not much better than the civilizations in the era of planets.
They had not even reached the level of a level 1 space civilization. All of them were concentrated on the three stray spaceships. The population density inside was very high, and there were 100 million people living there. However, it was much wider than many big cities when it was only a few dozen kilometers in length, width, and height.
“I suggest that we get a small boat closer to the target so that we can observe it.”
Although it was necessary to save energy, under such special circumstances, it was not unacceptable to use an ordinary small spaceship.
The distance between the two sides was still slowly closing, and no one knew what the outline in the distance was.
Although everyone had their own guesses and thought that it was an aircraft from an unknown civilization, this situation was not something that they could accept.
Because meeting meant communication, and it also meant conflict. No one knew if relying on the spaceship's stored weapon system could defeat those unknown existences.
“This mission will have to trouble the astronauts who have received more professional training.”
The cabin opened, and a few individuals that looked like two-legged octopuses sat on a small spacecraft about ten meters long, and began to move towards the explored area.
The aircraft itself did not have much combat power. It only had a few simple mechanical arms and a laser blade used for cutting. Logically speaking, a laser blade could also be used as a weapon, but the individuals of this civilization might not have thought of it. In the interstellar era, a laser weapon that could easily cut and burn a person into two was trash.
“The target is less than 20 kilometers away from us. Increase our speed a little and slowly catch up.”
The engine started up and slowly accelerated towards the target.
A few minutes later, a huge outline appeared in front of them.
“That's...”
A dim light, similar to a warning light flashed, carrying a round and ferocious feeling, and a slightly flat oval oval shaped object silently floated in space.
Looking from afar, that thing was completely black, if not for a small amount of light flickering within, it probably wouldn't have existed at all.
“What do we do, we...”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. There was no need to think to know what this thing was.
Aliens, compared to their own spacecraft, were much smaller, but their appearance gave people a feeling of grandeur.
Alright... Actually, they couldn't see it at all. It was completely dark. It could only be said that this spaceship hid itself quite well. If it wasn't for the attention of the observers, this weak gravitational signal wouldn't have been recognized at all.
“Retreat, don't alert the target.”
Another crew member hurriedly said, even though his tone didn't have much confidence.
Logically speaking, since he could detect the other party here, they should have discovered his side instead.
They didn't dare to send out any signals at all. After quietly returning to their own ship, they reported the situation to Crew.
“Right now, there are two most likely scenarios, the first scenario. After the other party discovered us, their situation was similar to ours. They were completely at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it. The second was that the other party didn't take us seriously at all. They simply followed this route, as long as we don't attack... They won't care about us. No matter what... we don't have many choices right now. ”
” Then what should we do? ” Everyone looked at him, seemingly waiting for his decision.
“Let's get out of here. Turn the bow around and wait until we are far away from the target.”
Crew decided to let all three ships carefully leave this mysterious spaceship. Although there were risks involved, it might be the safest method.
