"Are you crazy?"

Kolev was calm.

Because he felt that he heard wrongly.

Personally own a habitable planet?

What kind of interstellar joke is the imperial princess marrying the son of the new federal speaker!

"It all depends on people," Yang Ming said. "If it wasn't such a challenging job, how could I invite you? A certain living legend of the profession, Mr. Hatton."

"That's true," Kolev chuckled and walked back calmly on a cane, "I've robbed all kinds of things in my life, but I've never robbed an entire planet. I need more. information sharing.”

Yang Ming nodded: "I actually already have a plan, it's like this..."

"Wait, wait!"

Kolev’s old eyes were full of light:

"Don't try to fool around! I have promised you that I will be your assistant, and now it's time for you to share your secrets and your chips! Yang Ming, it's time for you to show it to me, that advanced civilization! "

Yang Ming:……

This old man is getting harder and harder to fool.

"Okay, since you insist."

Yang Ming touched his chin and groaned:

"I need to think carefully about how to tell you my experience and what key information I should hide.

"If you choose not to help me after I tell you this, I will erase your memory of the last half hour, so that even if your brain is scanned one day, my trump card will not be exposed."

"Come on, who can get memories by just scanning the brain?" Kolev said, "That's just a premature scientific experiment."

"The Empire should be able to do it."

Yang Ming simply said: "Okay, I'll start after we separate, open that thing... you actually like the pink color."

Kolev cursed: "This comes with the instrument! This thing is originally a military contraband, it would be great if I can get one!"

Lu's clear and smart voice suddenly sounded: "Boss, your elderly assistant's underwear and socks are also pink."

Kolev's old face flushed red, and he stammered for a long time, saying "What's wrong with pink?" and "This is just a normal color."

Yang Ming smiled and sat back in the large retro wooden chair, with memories in his eyes.

He narrated briskly:

"After we separated, I replenished fresh water and food in the free port, sailed continuously for more than twenty galactic days, and went through four somewhat risky jumps, heading towards the coordinate point I had obtained by chance.

"Imperial New Calendar: 724.06.30.

"This is my departure time."

(two)

The trajectory drawn on the star map was erased bit by bit, and the Feinan sailed into the no-man's land of non-commercial lines. Yang Ming also started to activate the floating rudder and drove manually half the time.

The radar is turned on to maximum power.

Make full use of the gravitational bullet hole effect to increase energy reserves.

The radio was switched to full-channel reception mode to prevent himself from accidentally entering a military restricted area.

The previously set coordinate points were getting closer and closer, and Yang Ming could already find several unique 'road signs' on the enlarged star map.

He first passed by a broken rogue planet. One-third of the planet's body was blown into pieces, and a long meteorite belt spread toward space.

——Rogue planets refer to planets that have not been captured by stars. They are generally relatively rare. This rogue planet is likely to be dragged here by interstellar civilization.

Continuing on from the broken wandering planet, Yang Ming spent two galactic days to reach the second road sign.

This is the wreckage of a giant abandoned battleship. All valuable items have been removed from it, leaving only the hollow skeleton and the outer armor riddled with holes.

This giant battleship is 25,000 meters long and has a small city inside it.

It may be something left over from the last civilization era, which has provided many advanced ancient civilizations to the current galactic civilization, or it may have been a symbol of a powerful country that fell into disrepair due to the demise of the political system.

Yang Ming deliberately avoided the wreckage of this giant battleship.

He was worried that there would be a detector from some force nearby. He just needed to pass this thing to confirm that he was not going the wrong way.

When playing "Abyss", the player's navigation is not so troublesome. Generally, the target point is reached as soon as the eyes are closed and opened.

This is a huge difference that Yang Ming cannot understand now.

Continuing to sail forward for a day and a half, after passing the second relatively complete rogue planet, Yang Ming gradually approached the destination of this trip.

A dark gray dust cloud lies flat in the gravitational equilibrium area.

Feinan began to slow down slowly and passed slowly above the dust cloud.

Omnic Twilight is hiding here.

"No. 2, analyze the composition of the dust cloud."

"A good captain is mainly composed of broken ice, with a small amount of rock debris and dust particles. The vicinity is in a near-equilibrium gravitational area. It is not enough to form planetesimals, and no area that can accumulate heat has been detected."

Molly No. 2's voice is cold and clear.

Yang Ming said: "When detecting gravitational anomalies, even the weakest anomalies need to be reported."

"Yes, Captain."

Molly No. 2 started working diligently.

But Yang Ming did not let the Feinan stop, but followed the direction in his memory and headed towards the center of the dust cloud.

The spacecraft sank slightly, and the small sounds of the hull being hit by broken ice continued one after another.

"Captain, there is a gravitational anomaly ahead, and the range is very small."

"Can you detect what's causing it?"

"We lack the corresponding equipment and cannot detect it," Molly No. 2 answered immediately.

Yang Ming nodded.

Then you can only rely on yourself.

The spacecraft slowed down again and slowly submerged into the dust cloud. Yang Ming seemed to be in a sea of ​​clouds, advancing slowly and steadily towards the middle layer of the dust cloud.

The subtle collision sounds became clearer and clearer.

"Captain, do you want to open the protective shield?"

"Doesn't turn on."

Yang Ming whispered, staring straight ahead.

The dust cloud blocking his view suddenly disappeared, and the spacecraft fell into a pure vacuum.

Just when Yang Ming was a little disappointed and felt that he had gone too far and rushed out of the dust cloud, he suddenly froze.

The spaceship stopped moving.

The engine was running normally, all instrument indexes were normal, and the radar was working. But at this moment, the 130-meter-long-axis exploration spacecraft suddenly lost all kinetic energy and acceleration and hovered in the middle of the dust cloud.

This is a square and square vacuum space, about 20 kilometers long, wide and high, with the Feinan at the very center.

"No. 2...are we still?"

"From a physical perspective, that's true," Molly No. 2 immediately replied, "There is insufficient information in the database to provide corresponding analysis."

Even though it was Yang Ming who came here on his own initiative, he still felt a little uneasy at this moment.

He remembered that the 'chosen son' did not encounter so many problems.

That guy just flew into the dust cloud and discovered an abnormal space vortex. He got in and found an abandoned highly automated mechanical city.

"There is a flow of information arriving on our ship," Molly 2 reminded.

Before she finished speaking, the projection screen in front of Yang Ming turned pitch black, and lines of numbers and text flashed rapidly, and finally a series of imperial lingua franca appeared.

[Civilization information...has been accessed.]

[Civilized terminology...has been changed.]

【Inquiry begins.】

[Low-level life form, please use the most concise language to describe your purpose of coming here.]

Purpose?

Yang Ming frowned and looked at the projection screen in front of him.

He didn't like this interrogation-like tone, especially the word 'lower life form'.

Da da da, this time there was a typing sound effect on the projection screen.

[If I find that there is a lie in your answer, you will lose this opportunity.]
