Chapter 108 Mysterious Orientalism, Survival on Alien Planet! (5000 words)(1/3)
When the Daxia sightseeing ship was returning from the Crescent Moon Empire.
In the black hole galaxy northeast of Daxia, a dilapidated ship suddenly appeared in the starry sky.
As its signal was sent, it didn't take long for the Daxia engineering ship to arrive at the location where the signal was sent, and tow them back to the star base.
Through coding verification, this ship is Daxia's scientific research ship, and the personnel on board are naturally Daxia's scientific researchers.
They lost communication during their exploration mission some time ago. Daxia has been searching for it, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear again today.
After verifying their identity, the Academy of Sciences started communicating with them.
"You guys, how did it become like this?"
Looking at their dusty middle-aged appearance, Tina frowned and asked.
According to the data, these scientific researchers should be in their twenties.
After being asked by the chief scientist, some white-haired researchers began to tell what happened...
Due to the ascension talent of [Central Privilege], Daxia’s power galaxy has expanded again.
As a result, new relic signal sources were discovered.
So, an exploration ship carrying scientific researchers sailed towards the galaxy with the signal source.
A black hole galaxy, an ordinary black hole galaxy.
In most cases, there is basically nothing in a black hole galaxy except a shining light disk, and there are only one or two planets occasionally.
"Ah, there is nothing here, how can there be a signal source?" Joseph looked at the scanned galaxy map and complained.
Qiao An, the leader, also frowned. This black hole galaxy did not have a single planet, but the signal strength detected before was not small.
"Since it's not a planet, it should be a special item floating in deep space."
"Continue scanning to further determine the coordinate position of the signal source."
Qiao Anshi ordered his colleagues to scan the galaxy in more detail.
"OK!" Johnny snapped his fingers and began to enter instructions, preparing to launch the scanning probe.
Today, exploration ships are no longer the primary ships that could only detect galaxies.
After being equipped with professional research rooms and processing equipment, scientific researchers can stay on the ship for a long time. This kind of ship, which is transformed from an exploration ship and specializes in dealing with deep space anomalies, is also called a "scientific research ship".
A scientific research ship is basically composed of three to six scientific researchers, led by experienced people, who lead their colleagues to carry out new projects.
The current scientific research ship is codenamed "Katuya".
The leader is Qiao An, a pure East End native with a ponytail and majoring in physics and engineering.
The remaining two are Johnny, who is of mixed race from the East and West districts. He has short curly hair and brown skin. He majors in sociology and engineering.
The other one is Joseph, who has a typical West End appearance, light blond and medium-short hair, and majors in physics.
They drove the Katuya research ship and dropped probes everywhere in the Black Jade Galaxy, and then waited for the signal to echo.
The relic signal is not emitted all the time. It can only be said that the star base occasionally detects sources of fluctuation in the subspace, thereby determining that there are abnormal signals in the galaxy.
Then, scientific researchers will distinguish from the abnormal signals whether there is civilization relic information or something else.
During this delivery and scanning mission, Qiao An and others stayed in the Moyu Galaxy for nearly ten days.
Finally, they detected a fuzzy coordinate, and that place was very close to the edge of the black hole's event horizon.
Looking at the seeping black hole, Johnny looked at Joan and shrugged, "What now? Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Qiao An took a look at the situation of the galaxy and the impact of the black hole on the scientific research ship, and thought silently.
"Do you still need to ask? Of course it is a rush. If you complete this project, you will be guaranteed the year-end bonus this year, hahaha."
Unlike the two cautious people, Joseph is not afraid. He plans to establish a black hole research project in the future, and now is a good time to get in touch.
"Hmm... let's report it to the hospital first. If we get permission, we can go there and have a look." Qiao An pondered and then confirmed the plan.
The two had no objection to this, and quickly transmitted the plan to the Academy of Sciences and received permission to proceed.
The launched probe cannot run permanently. If the detailed coordinates cannot be determined, the scanning results will be inaccurate when the energy is exhausted or gravity affects it.
So Qiao An decided to take a risk. Since the signal source can be emitted near the black hole's event horizon, safety can still be guaranteed, right?
Against the backdrop of the majestic black hole, the Katua scientific research vessel is like a flat boat sailing across the optical disk.
Even in the interstellar age, black holes are still very mysterious existences. Some people assert that as long as black holes are understood, even the entire universe will no longer be a mystery.
Qiao An and the three of them watched the black hole getting closer and closer on the ship, and they were a little bit murmuring in their hearts.
When they return this time, they can brag about their bravery.
After a while, Qiao An stood up, walked to the bridge, and took out a few long objects from a storage room.
After lighting it, he held it with both hands, waved it towards Chu Hua's image, and then inserted it on a piece of apple. Wisps of green smoke rose up with the vacuum nozzle.
"What are you doing?"
Everyone was quite nervous at first. Seeing Qiao An's strange behavior, Joseph came over and asked strangely.
Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief, "This is our unique worship method in the East District. If you pray sincerely, everything will go smoothly."
"Shang Xiang?" Johnny, as a sociologist, still knows some folk customs.
"You are a bit theological. How can you, as a scientist, believe in these things?"
Joseph shook his head and said with some disdain.
Regarding the two people's doubts, Qiao An shrugged indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether it works or not, it doesn't matter if you try it anyway."
"Besides, I am worshiping Your Majesty, so maybe I can get asylum?"
"Don't forget Dr. L.U.N. He escaped directly from the explosion of a star and is now beyond human beings."
"……." Johnny and Joseph were silent for a moment.
Yes.
Who can guarantee that God does not exist?
And why not pay homage to Your Majesty...
"Ahem...Boss Qiao, do you still have this incense? I'd like to have a few too."
Johnny came closer and said to Joan with a smile.
Joseph also suddenly realized something, "Yes, since you have already worshiped, let's take care of it."
"Yes." Qiao An opened the storage room and took out another bag of long-lasting incense.
The two of them grabbed a handful and clicked them regardless of the amount, and then bowed to Chu Hua's image.
"You know, if you kneel down for the first time of worship, you will be more pious."
Qiao An leaned aside and smiled slightly.
Johnny and Joseph looked at each other. There are so many methods of Eastern mysticism, maybe they are really useful.
After reading, the two of them knelt down, held up incense and bowed to Chu Hua, "Your Majesty, I hope you can bless us to successfully complete the task and get the year-end bonus!"
"Didi~~"
"Warning! The gravitational force changes suddenly and the spacecraft is about to lose control..."
A rapid siren sounded.
Qiao An's face changed drastically, "Didn't you set the spacecraft to a special automatic mode!?"
Normally it's okay, but now in a black hole galaxy, and it's still close to a black hole, problems can easily occur without someone watching.
"Thank you very much!"
"Sure enough! Banning superstition won't work! I want to be a staunch materialist!"
Johnny and Joseph quickly got up and rushed to the central control room.
However, it's too late.
The dense black hole lies above the Katua scientific research ship, and its depth can make a person's heartbeat slow down.
The three people sat in front of the control console, constantly adjusting various data amidst the sound of alarms.
"Dynamic imbalance!"
"It shouldn't be, I have set a special mode."
"Don't worry about the settings for now. Stop the light speed engine and switch everything to manual mode."
"Entering manual mode and adjusting the ship's attitude!"
.....
Under the inexplicable influence, the Kathua scientific research ship began to spin near the black hole, and the three of them have been working hard to restore the ship to normal.
Finally, after more than half an hour of manual operation, they finally stabilized the ship's abnormal movements and allowed it to slowly return to calm.
The three of them also breathed a sigh of relief.
To be continued...
