Chapter 393 Space Encounter
Hearing the servant's response, the tall figure on the chair asked in doubt: "Really?"
"To be able to use a spiritual tool to communicate with us across a distance, one must have at least level 5 spiritual power. Such strength is already very rare on a planet with a primary civilization."
"If there really weren't any indigenous strongmen in charge, perhaps the billions of people on these initial planets could be sold for a good price in the slave market."
Hearing the captain's cold reply, the attendant standing next to him also smiled slightly.
In addition to wandering and exploring in the interstellar space and discovering useful cultivation resources, pioneering fleets like them occasionally transform into bandits to plunder those uncivilized planets with intelligent creatures.
Even if we encounter an intelligent planet belonging to human beings, we will rob and enslave those that need to be robbed and enslaved without mercy.
This is just like Columbus discovering the New World. We are all human beings, but we can do anything evil for the sake of profit.
In the face of interests, ethics and morals are secondary.
In this vast star field, there are no police, no courts, and the only things that can protect you are technology and strength.
Of course, the reason why this pioneering spacecraft can understand the detailed situation of the earth is thanks to the suicidal behavior of the human beings on earth themselves.
After decades of transmitting radio signals into outer space, one of them will eventually be captured by these advanced civilizations.
In addition, those signals include the genetic code, civilization status, total population, etc. of human beings on Earth, which is equivalent to human beings on Earth revealing their own secrets and detonating a bomb in front of aliens.
"The slave trade was only a small part of it."
"The most important thing is the training resources, my Captain!"
"That secret space abandoned by Zhuanxu has undergone self-repair for nearly an epoch, so there must be a lot of resources being created."
"If the development goes smoothly, our income from this trip will definitely be able to pay off the spiritual coins we owed before, and we may even have surplus funds to upgrade our spacecraft." The servant reminded.
"Haha! You're right, Zero Three. Resources and strength are everything."
"If we can leverage the inheritance of Zhuanxu's lineage to improve our strength to level 7, we'll have hope of getting rid of our current status as exiled explorers. Then we can circle a few civilized galaxies, develop them ourselves, build bases, and become a galaxy lord. Maybe even my mother's clan will look at me differently!" The tall figure was persuaded and laughed happily a few times.
But what the captain never expected was.
Just as this pyramid-shaped aircraft was passing through the starry sky and moving towards the earth, in the distance, billions of kilometers away, a huge turtle was approaching them at a speed faster than them.
As for Chen Jue, he had been staying in the spherical aircraft of the Bixi Beijin, practicing spiritual texts while watching the starry sky scenery at a speed below 60% of the speed of light.
“The universe is so vast.”
"This is just the solar system. After flying for so long, we still can't see the shadow of the next star." Chen Jue stared at the distorted window.
According to the coordinates of the solar system, the closest star to the Earth outside the solar system is Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light-years away.
As for the rest of the cosmic environment, most of them are free meteorites, asteroids, and some thin ionized gases.
These gases are the remnants of the early birth of galaxies, or they are materials ejected by a star, carrying weak ionized energy.
If the energy in the body is exhausted, Chen Jue can even replenish his body's energy by absorbing these gases.
However, this method is very inefficient. It would be more efficient to directly find some nuclear fusion fuel to generate energy.
Therefore, while admiring the vast and lonely cosmic landscape, Chen Jue would also ask Bixi to pay attention to the asteroids it encounters.
Once encountering an asteroid carrying metal materials or rich in helium-3 like lunar soil, Chen Jue would let Bixi stop for a while.
He himself controlled the sphere and landed it on the asteroid, using his [Matter Interference] ability to plunder all the useful materials on the asteroid.
With this continuous accumulation, two days after flying out of Mars, the spherical aircraft hanging on the neck of Bixi became bigger and bigger.
Later, because of its large size, it could no longer hang under the neck, and had to be transferred to the raised tortoise shell on its back like a monument of civilization.
It is an ancient mythical beast responsible for resisting the civilization monument. Now it has a big ball on its head. It looks weird no matter how you look at it, just like a garlic turtle.
Fortunately, the universe is generally in a state of weightlessness, without the influence of gravity from planets or stars.
This aircraft, which has increased to one million tons, did not crush the Bixi.
Moreover, in order to practice spiritual words, Chen Jue specially attached functional spiritual words such as "becoming lighter" and "weightlessness" to the outside of the enlarged aircraft.
In addition, Chen Jue also learned and used it immediately, using spiritual texts to DIY spiritual weapons.
The first thing is to add exploration-type spiritual texts such as "signal tracking", "signal locking" and "range expansion" to the lost and recovered sun wheel.
By doing this, he transformed the sun disc into a bronze radar.
Moreover, the radiation range of this radar is very wide. Under the stimulation of Chen Jue's plasma energy, which has an instantaneous output of tens of billions of watts of power, the radar signal emitted from the solar disk can almost cover a space environment of 30 million kilometers.
Such an exaggerated radar coverage area is enough to defeat any known early warning radar system on earth!
Even if Starlink and GPS, which cover the entire world, come along, we can only sigh in despair.
Because the radiation range of 30 million kilometers is enough to fit more than 2,000 Earths, stacked on top of each other.
However, such a powerful DIY radar does not have a physical display screen or control instruments, and relies entirely on Chen Jue’s mental energy for detection and control.
Fortunately, this thing does not need to be turned on for a long time and does not consume too much of Chen Jue's energy.
Only when encountering a large asteroid belt or a meteorite containing nuclear fusion fuel will Chen Jue turn it on and activate the search function.
Of course, Chen Jue’s DIY attempts at spiritual weapons are not limited to this sun wheel.
Things like the civilization monument pulled from Mars, the spherical aircraft he is currently riding in, and the multifunctional combat suit he is wearing are all his experimental objects.
After trying countless imaginable spiritual functions, the ball on the back of Bixi began to change in extremely weird ways.
Occasionally it glows, occasionally it shrinks, sometimes it expands, or it becomes dyed with a variety of colors, just like a space traffic light.
…
The boring flight time passed quickly.
A few days later, Chen Jue finally locked onto the flight path of the UFO through the positioning function of the sun disc.
However, what he did not expect was that the pyramid-shaped spacecraft did not send any warm welcome communication for Chen Jue's arrival.
Instead, as if stimulated by something, when the distance between the two sides was shortened to tens of millions of kilometers, the entire spacecraft adopted a defensive and offensive posture as if facing a formidable enemy.
All kinds of spiritual weapons extended and unfolded from the inner walls of the spacecraft, and shrill alarms continued to sound throughout the spacecraft.
"warn!"
"warn!"
"Encountered an unknown space beast, space coordinates... target energy reaction level is above level 7, crew members please prepare for battle."
