Chapter 37 Hence, they perished

As the person behind the exploration of the universe, how could he not have a love for the universe? How could he not have the dream to go to the universe?

Originally, this was a delusion that he would not be able to realize in his lifetime, but now, it had been realized in another way!

The others might not have the same feelings as Chief Engineer Lu, but they were also amazed by the incomparably realistic environment and the powerful technology on this spaceship.

One of them seemed to have realized something. He reached into his pocket and was shocked.

He had grabbed a handful of sand and placed it in his pocket just now.

However, at this moment, it had disappeared without a trace!

He was dumbfounded.

Recalling the real touch of the sand just now, he could not help but be in a daze.

What was real? What was fake?

However, the power of alien technology had just begun to show.

“The entire universe is an endless sea of stars.” Shen Shi’s unhurried voice sounded slowly. “No one knows how many lives have been born in the universe, how many civilizations there are, and how many unknown existences there are. However, there will always be some civilizations which have gradually developed that will start to build spaceships and explore the universe.”

Everyone who could understand the East Kingdom language could not help but tense up. They listened carefully, unwilling to miss a word!

Those who could not understand could only pray softly and let the people from the East Kingdom translate for them.

This was because everyone knew that the captain in front of them, this man, was unveiling a corner of the incomparably mysterious universe for them!

“When these civilizations begin to increase in number and come into contact with each other, what will happen to them?” Shen Shi looked at everyone present.

He did not seem to be just explaining.

Chief Engineer Lu quickly reacted and replied, “Will they gradually form a unique interstellar society through constant probing, cooperation, and war?”

“Correct.” Shen Shi nodded. In an instant, this universe flowed rapidly, as if it had crossed an infinite distance in an instant.

A huge bright yellow planet appeared in front of everyone.

Some people could not help but exclaim.

It was so huge.

There were even six satellites orbiting it.

And it also had a huge yellow star!

A spectacular scene that could only be seen in the vast galaxy was coming at them! “This is Planet Wo, which is currently known to me. It is the mother planet closest to the Blue Planet that has nurtured a civilization. It is only 18 nodes away,” said Shen Shi.

Some people were keenly aware of the information contained in Shen Shi’s words.

What he knew currently meant that even Shen Shi was not sure if there were other civilizations within this vast range, and a node was undoubtedly a unit of distance!

Todd and Willard memorized this information.

They looked at their excited scientists and seemed to understand why the other party had brought these scientists along.

This was because even the most basic science contained a lot of precious knowledge and information that were extremely valuable to humans!

“The civilized race on Planet Wo are intelligent creatures who call themselves ‘Wos’. Their development is almost 800 years faster than the current human race.’

With Shen Shi’s words, dense space stations began to appear one after another around Planet Wo.

In fact, huge metallic immigrant cities had even begun to appear on the six satellites! Even if Shen Shi had not said it, they could roughly guess how the period of 800 years had been computed. It was 800 years from the development speed of humans today!

When they saw the cosmic warships of various shapes appear, there was inevitably some commotion among the crowd.

Humans had just stepped into the universe, and the other party already had such a huge cosmic warship?

Does this mean that the other party already has the ability to invade them?

Are they the invaders mentioned earlier?

Shen Shi was as if he had not heard the commotion.

He only continued, “Just like humans, after the Wo people had started to step into the galaxy, they continued to spread outward. They started to leave the galaxy, and also tried to explore more domains. They were also trying to find the other living beings and civilizations in the universe. After developing the warp engine and achieving sublight speed travel, it took them hundreds of years to find a planet which they named ‘Ha’ only six nodes away from them.”

The galaxy started to flow again.

This time, everyone was stunned again.

This was because an azure planet had appeared in front of them.

At first glance, they almost thought that this was the Blue Planet!

“Planet Ha, as you can see, has an ecological environment that is highly similar to that of the Blue Planet. There are oceans, lands, forests, and even… civilizations have not developed yet.”

The screen was enlarged. Everyone seemed to have experienced a dreamlike transmigration. As the environment changed, they landed on Planet Ha.

A planet full of life appeared in front of them.

There was a huge creature that looked like a dinosaur. There were all kinds of strange plants that had never been seen before. There was even a change in the climate. Lightning roared in the sky, and heavy rain representing the water cycle poured down.

Some of the scientists were extremely excited!

Wasn’t such a scene and such a planet what humans had been searching a long time for?

Just the news of its existence was enough to cause a huge wave among all of humanity!

In fact, this wave was enough to accelerate the development of space technology by at least a hundred years!

This was because migrating here would become the greatest dream of mankind after the continuous destruction of the environment of the Blue Planet!

still…..

They suddenly realized.

The Wos had already discovered this planet.

“Sigh.”

Chief Engineer Lu subconsciously sighed. Then, as if he had returned to reality from his delusions, his face was filled with self-mockery.

They were about to be invaded by the alien fleet, yet he was still dreaming.

Unfortunately… if only they, the space workers, had discovered this planet earlier. Then, at least, they would be able to push the development of space technology further.

“The exploration fleet of the Wos had discovered this planet.” Shen Shi’s unhurried voice continued, “They were overwhelmed with joy and they immediately prepared to send a message back and launch a large-scale migration to develop everything on this planet.”

Willard could not help but nod slightly.

If it had been the humans, they would have done the same.

However, he did not know why Shen Shi had told them all this.

Could this civilization closest to the Blue Planet be the invaders?

And Shen Shi, he picked up the cup of fruit tea in his hand again and took a sip.

Then, he continued to speak slowly in a tone that sounded like he was telling a story.

“Hence, the Wo civilization perished.”
