The flagship of the scout fleet "Kunming Lake" entered the etheric state and activated simulated stealth. According to the terrain and climate characteristics of the area where it was located, the fleet "floated" deep into the mainland like a cloud...
Curious Zhou Yun stared at this magical alien continent with big eyes.
At this moment, the ship "floated" over a city, and huge chimneys emitting black smoke appeared in every corner, extending to the edge of the city.
"Bear Man" is crowded with people on the street.
What made Liu Hanyang feel more intimate was that he saw a kind of transportation on the road similar to that of the Middle Ages on Earth - a horse-drawn carriage, shuttling back and forth on the diamond-paved road...
Under the sun, the road reflects the wonderful colors of the rainbow and shines brightly.
What is completely different from horses on Earth is that the whole body of horses shows a translucent fluorescent color, and the bones inside are clearly visible, and even the fluorescent green blood vessels are clearly visible.
It has 12 legs, 4 in front and 8 in back. It is five times larger than a horse on Earth. It can run very fast, reaching 120 kilometers per hour.
The scene of the city also felt very familiar to him. Except for the different types of creatures, it was completely a scene of the earth on the eve of industrialization in the 18th century.
The extensive construction of chimneys indicates that something like coal was mined on a large scale.
The dense flow of people shows that the population is beginning to concentrate in large numbers in cities, and the acceleration of urbanization will lead to a qualitative leap in industrial civilization.
"Look!" Zhou Yun seemed to have discovered something new. She pointed to the porthole and jumped excitedly. "This is an apple tree. I have seen it in books."
Indeed, this is really similar to an apple tree on the earth. It is hard to imagine that there is an apple tree exactly like the one on the earth 20 light years away!
At this moment, the ship had "floated" over a courtyard. Liu Hanyang looked in the direction she pointed and saw a towering fruit tree growing in the courtyard. Apples on Earth are exactly the same.
At this moment, everyone on the ship was stunned. They silently stared at the fruitful apple tree in front of the screen...
There is a male "bear man" under the tree. He is sitting on a chair with his chin half propped up, as if he is thinking about something...
"I want an apple!"
Zhou Yun started acting coquettishly.
Liu Hanyang smiled helplessly, knowing that he couldn't twist her.
He turned around: "Nakano, activate the invisible detector, pick one apple, no, two apples, and do research on the other one."
"I want to pick it myself."
Zhou Yun looked at Liu Hanyang with longing eyes, still acting coquettishly.
"Scientific exploration should start from childhood."
Liu Hanyang and Nakano Kazuhiro smiled bitterly. Zhou Yun understood that this was an expression of tacit approval, and she quickly ran to the location of the invisible detector.
"Be careful not to disturb the bear-man under the tree!"
"I know! You're the only one who's always nagging me."
Zhou Yun glanced at Liu Hanyang, who was reminding her, and put on the detector's mechanical hand.
On the console, she waved her arm, and immediately, a stealth detector stretched out from the ship's detection cabin. Its front end was a pipe-type telescopic mechanical arm, and the end was a bionic manipulator.
The invisible detector reached through the layers of branches toward an apple. The bionic manipulator opened its hand, but suddenly stopped again. She found another apple that was bigger and redder.
She was a little overjoyed, and the detector changed its direction again, reaching towards the apple...
The apple was just above the "Bear Man's" head, and his mind was still lost in meditation.
The bionic manipulator opened and the apple was smoothly grasped.
"Catch it, catch it!"
Zhou Yun waved her arms happily, and with the irregular dance, the bionic manipulator suddenly opened, and the apple fell straight down...
With a "dong" sound, it hit the "bear man" at his feet. He stared blankly at the apple on the ground for a long time...
After a moment, he slowly raised his head and stared at the sky, as if he was thinking about something again...
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and strode into the house. Before Liu Hanyang and the others could react, they saw him rushing out with a lot of books in his arms, flipping through the books and mumbling...
When he turned to one of the books, he opened his arms, threw the book high into the air, and shouted crazily: "%*￥#@%*&￥%..."
"What is he shouting?" Kazuhiro Nakano asked in confusion.
"Metz, call up the planetary language package and translate his words!" Liu Hanyang ordered.
Two years ago, the first language analysis spacecraft to fly to the planet collected language data of all races on the planet in its synchronized orbit.
As the translation came out, Metz looked at Liu Hanyang in horror.
"What on earth was he shouting about?"
"He...he is shouting about universal gravitation, and seems to have discovered the law of universal gravitation!"
"Then he is so great!" Zhou Yun shouted happily, "They will launch rockets soon."
Liu Hanyang glared at her fiercely. He understood that the scout fleet had violated the prohibition of Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Apocalypse Fleet Flight Regulations: Under any circumstances and conditions, primary civilizations with potential development must not be interfered with or guided.
If this prohibition is violated, the offender, participants, including passive participants will be permanently exiled to the universe without distinction.
Liu Hanyang took a deep breath, turned around silently, lowered his head and pondered. The air in the ship seemed to be frozen instantly, as cold and dead as ice.
A chilling coldness.
"Doctor, mobilize the frigates and completely destroy the courtyard!"
Nakano Kazuhiro's eyes were like fire, burning and eager.
Liu Hanyang waved his hand feebly: "Any attack must be authorized by the commander-in-chief of the fleet."
"Metz, pick up General Cheng Yichen!" Nakano Kazuhiro ordered, "Just say that we have been attacked by an unknown person and request to be completely destroyed!"
Mace looked at Liu Hanyang with eager and expectant eyes, but he still lowered his head: "Currently, any unilateral attack is not legal unless we are really attacked."
There was a long silence inside the ship.
Liu Hanyang knows very well that after 260 years of suicidal voyages, mankind has been lucky enough to find a habitat that is highly similar to the earth's environment.
This is also the only habitable planet that has been found since the ultimate battle between human civilization, Genhe Civilization and Diablo Body Civilization.
Here, whether you can escape the pursuit of the two major civilizations that have regrouped can only depend on luck.
Maybe on this planet, human beings can be lucky enough to thrive, and maybe they can continue their long journey of escape.
But for now, whether this civilization should be destroyed or preserved is a joint decision made by the seven-member committee. Although he is also a member, he does not have the authority to destroy unilaterally, even for targeted killings.
"Metz, truthfully report the situation of interfering with civilization to the commander-in-chief of the fleet. I take 100% responsibility. I will plead with the seven-member committee and conditionally pardon you from the responsibility of passive participants." Liu Hanyang finally spoke.
Metz looked at him dully, then looked at Nakano Kazuhiro, frustration and helplessness reflected on her face.
She sighed and began to operate the quantum communication.
"Still unable to contact the fleet!"
Metz trailed off, and the two of them looked at her in horror. The command cabin fell into dead silence again. There was no expression in their eyes, only dullness and machinery...
A clear sound of "ding" sounded, and Liu Hanyang, Nakano and even little Zhou Yun looked at Metz nervously.
"Received signal from the fleet!"
Mace was relieved, but in just a moment, her face became serious again.
"What I received was only two communication records from the fleet. The terminal shows that they were sent 12 minutes ago, with an interval of 6 minutes between each one!"
"Play the communication log!"
The communication record sounded in the ship: Scout formation, scout formation, please report the coordinates of the planet where your formation is located, please report the coordinates of the planet where your formation is located!
"This is the first one."
Scout formation, scout formation, you have disappeared for 7 years, disappeared for 7 years! A liaison fleet has been sent to rescue!
"This is the second one."
"Disappeared for 7 years!?" Nakano Kazuhiro looked at Liu Hanyang in horror. His stunned eyes were obviously asking him for confirmation.
"Disappeared in 6 minutes and 7 years!"
