In vain, the situation became complicated and unpredictable. Looking at the arcing ball of light on the monitoring instrument, the flight control room where Liu Hanyang was located was in an uproar. Several scientific researchers and crew members, including him, had panic expressions on their faces. and uneasy, while Zhou Yun behaved quite calmly.
"If they wanted to shoot us down, they wouldn't have talked so much nonsense to us before." Zhou Yun said without changing her expression.
"What about the ball of light? It's a weapon!" a crew member said in panic.
"So what if it's a weapon? There's no need to make a fuss about turning on the weapon system when approaching an alien aircraft of unknown origin. It's at most a defensive warning. If it were me, I would do the same thing."
Zhou Yun's explanation calmed down everyone's high-spirited hearts. As she analyzed, the two gaseous spacecraft never launched an attack as they approached, and one parked about 5 kilometers away from the transport aircraft. , the other one took a circuitous route back to the rear.
"Please follow our guided spacecraft and be careful not to deviate from the route of the guided spacecraft, let alone go beyond it." The other party's words rang out in the flight control room.
"We will strictly follow the route and speed of the guided spacecraft." Zhou Yun responded.
The guidance spacecraft located in front of the transport aircraft was activated. It took the transport aircraft slowly towards a dazzling and bright city in front. The spacecraft located behind followed closely behind, seeming to be escorting and warning.
Gradually, the city scene ahead became clearer and clearer, and it became more and more magnificent. This radiant, gaseous city seemed to be the central city among many cities, the city of ten thousand cities. Against the brilliant glow, It looks particularly majestic and brilliant.
A few minutes later, the guidance spacecraft led the transport aircraft into the city. From a closer look, the city's style and layout were fully visible.
Rows upon rows of dazzling gaseous buildings are like dazzling giant pearls, sown on the flowing three-dimensional transportation network. The two complement each other and form a whole, quiet and busy, magnificent and shocking, spreading to The horizon extends into the depths of the city.
According to the instructions of the guidance spacecraft, the transport aircraft slowly landed on a take-off and landing platform. Unlike the take-off and landing platforms of humans or Tiberians, this platform is not made of materials with physical properties, it is just a surging platform. The gaseous shape reflected light waves, and the transport aircraft did not come into contact with it, but was suspended above it under a layer of green glare.
The green glare bears the weight of the transport aircraft.
At this time, a small aircraft similar to a shuttle landed slowly about 30 meters away from the transport aircraft. Like the two guided spacecraft, it was also in a flowing gaseous state, with a slight glow surging on the surface of the aircraft.
As the hatch opened, a tadpole-shaped air mass composed of particles floated down from the shuttle. It was about 50 centimeters long, exuding a faint blue light. It was large and round. Its head is filled with cloud-like material. It seems to have no facial features, but this does not affect its ability to observe the world and act at all, just like a confusing ghost.
It came down with more than 50 bodyguards or guards. They surrounded the former and floated on the platform. They were of the same size and shape. The only difference was that there was a hollow gaseous sign on the head of the one being surrounded. , the logo is engraved with a tall and magnificent building in this city of ten thousand cities, which seems to be a symbol of power or distinction of status.
Through the portholes of the transport aircraft, Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun quietly stared at these tadpole-shaped objects that seemed to be living things but could not be connected with living things. They were stunned for a moment.
The two couldn't figure out what they were? But its shape and size reminded them of the light ball that attacked the "Lodens". The electromagnetic vortex formed by the explosion of the light ball ejected countless tadpole-shaped particle streams during the attack.
The two are surprisingly identical. They are terrifying and lethal, enough to destroy several "Gravity" class star battleships.
The atmosphere in the flight control room suddenly became tense. No one knew what would happen next? They worry that the transport aircraft will be destroyed by the attack of these tadpole-like objects.
"I still say what I said. If they wanted to attack us, they would have done it long ago. They would not let the guidance spacecraft guide us into their city." Zhou Yun said calmly.
Her words brought a little color to the pale faces of the two crew members, but the worry and anxiety buried deep in their hearts still did not dissipate.
"Are they alive?" one crew member asked.
"They are very similar to the individuals of Boltzmann's consciousness. If they are, they cannot simply be attributed to living bodies, but another form between life and non-life." Liu Hanyang replied .
"It's hard to imagine that they have a high degree of civilization, and their level of civilization should no longer be lower than ours." Zhou Yun said.
"They can easily invade our system and master the body structure and weapon system of the transport aircraft in a very short period of time. From this point of view alone, the level of civilization should be higher than ours and on par with the Tiberians."
Everyone's expressions became uneasy again. Perhaps realizing that his statement aggravated everyone's worries, Liu Hanyang cleared his throat and continued: "There is no need for everyone to worry too much. Just as Zhou Yun said, if If they really want to take action, they won't lead us into their city."
"What now?" one crew member asked.
"Get off the aircraft, maybe they are very interested in us, or want to get something from us."
After Liu Hanyang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yun, she nodded, and then opened the door of the transport aircraft.
As the hatch opened, everyone appeared in front of those tadpole-like objects, but facing the surging light waves under their feet, they still did not have the courage to take a step, because the feet under their feet were not made of materials with physical properties. platform, but a structure in a gaseous state.
Everyone is worried that with just one step, they will fall into endless darkness.
"Come down with confidence, you won't fall." A voice came over. The voice came from about 30 meters away from them, and it was still speaking the language of Earth.
Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker seemed to be one of the fifty tadpole-shaped objects. Based on the direction of the voice, they determined that the speaker was the one in the middle with the hollow air symbol on his head. But all the while, they didn't find it making any sound.
In fact, these tadpole-like objects represented by the crowds have no facial features. The sounds seem to come from telepathy. The external sounds they express may also be the external signals of telepathy.
"Just like your aircraft, the layer of green light at the bottom will hold you up, so you don't have to worry about falling." The person being surrounded said again.
Everyone glanced at Liu Hanyang, and Liu Hanyang looked at Zhou Yun again. She nodded gently. Before he could take a step, she was the first to jump off the hatch. When she stood firmly on the green layer of After reaching the light, his pinched heart relaxed.
Everyone got off the hatch one after another and stood on the green glare. They found that although they did not feel like they were touching objects when they stepped on it, it did not affect their ability to move forward, backward, left, and right, and they could move freely.
"I am the liaison officer with you, and welcome you to the City of Ten Thousand Realms." The person being surrounded said, its tone was calm, polite but dignified.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then looked around in a circle. It turned out that this magnificent and brilliant city was the City of Ten Thousand Realms.
"We are from the Earth and belong to the Voyage Fleet. My name is Liu Hanyang, and I am currently the commander-in-chief of the fleet's technical interstellar ships."
"My name is Zhou Yun, and I am the squadron leader of the armed escort spacecraft formation of the Yuan Voyage Fleet. These two are the crew members of this transport aircraft. These few are related scientific researchers."
The liaison officer twisted his body slightly and seemed quite satisfied with the self-introduction of the two people.
"It's hard to imagine that you can cross the territory of those low-level civilizations and enter our territory unscathed. You know, those cold and bloodthirsty giant balls will not let go of any outsider who invades their territory. , even if it just enters by mistake, it will be destroyed by the electromagnetic vortex."
The liaison officer's words made Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun thoughtful...
Giant sphere? Electromagnetic vortex? Aren't they just terrifying weapons that attack the "Lodens" and the voyage fleet?
These tadpole-shaped objects and giant spheres in front of us
How similar are the powerful tadpole-shaped objects ejected from the electromagnetic vortex formed after the explosion!
There seems to be some connection between the two?
The liaison officer's words seemed to reveal the relationship between the two without concealment, that is, if they could be called races, the two should belong to the same race, but with different levels of civilization.
However, the true situation requires further verification.
"Are you the same race as the giant sphere or the electromagnetic vortex?" Zhou Yun just wanted to ask, but Liu Hanyang asked first.
"Please don't compare them with us. They are a group of savage and bloodthirsty races, and we are fundamentally different from them. Just as you see these magnificent cities and the courtesy you feel, this is the difference."
Liu Hanyang suddenly noticed that a faint blue glow appeared on the liaison officer and the tadpole-like objects behind him. Intuitively, he had a premonition that they seemed angry.
"Thank you for treating us politely. We just want to find out the whole story. We apologize for any offense." Liu Hanyang said quickly.
"Yes, because they attacked our voyage fleet and also attacked us. We had no choice but to break into your territory. The offense just now was just to find out the reason." Zhou Yun explained.
The faint blue glow that enveloped the liaison officer and the tadpole-like objects behind him dissipated, and the suffocating atmosphere eased again.
The words of the liaison officer rang out again around everyone: "Yes, the Boltzmann consciousness that attacked you belongs to the same race as us, but it has differentiated hundreds of thousands of years ago. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, they have It will only attack outsiders without any principles and make no progress at all."
After a pause, it continued: "Please tell me, how did you escape their attack?"
"Our voyage fleet and a Tiberian star fleet were attacked by them. After the attack, we entered that star field. Maybe the above two fleets withstood most of the attacks and they had no time to care. Maybe You must be lucky." Liu Hanyang replied.
"But in the end we were also attacked, but we survived because of our timely response. After entering the asteroid belt, a giant sphere that was chasing us strangely stopped pursuing us. I think it was probably afraid of you. " Zhou Yun added.
"What did you just say? Tiberian?" The liaison officer's voice suddenly increased, with obvious anger in his tone.
The two noticed that another circle of faint blue glow appeared on the liaison officer and the tadpole-like objects behind him, and the glow was more dazzling than last time.
