[The hyperspace engine is being charged... It is expected to be completed in 32 minutes.]
[Progress: 1%]
On the bridge of the Orion, Ye Shi stood in front of the console and looked at the holographic screen suspended in front of him, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Did you change the startup program?"
"I just changed the UI," Jiang Xuezhou raised the corner of his mouth proudly, and said with a hint of arrogance in his tone, "The old UI of the People's Federation of Aeronautics and Space Force was too sloppy, and laymen couldn't understand it at all, so I put it on the scientific research ship
The shipboard AI was transplanted to the Orion shipboard server platform.”
"Is this... possible?" Ye Shi looked at her in surprise and said.
Jiang Xuezhou said lazily.
"Don't forget that I am also an expert in this field after all. In addition, the shipboard of my scientific research ship was designed by myself. No one is more familiar with its capabilities than me."
It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
Ye Shi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, gaining a deeper understanding of this guy's abilities.
Dora and the little koala stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.
The former's eyes were glued to the floor-to-ceiling windows motionlessly, as if he wanted to see the emerald green planet a few more times and keep the majestic outline in his heart forever.
The little koala's camera moved, glanced at her, and then at the nearby planet.
"A very beautiful planet."
Dora was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. After a while, she said awkwardly.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, I really feel that way."
The little koala clicked on the camera, stared at the vast expanse of green, and continued in a casual tone.
"The scenery there should be very good, perhaps even unique in this universe."
Dora looked at it blankly and suddenly blurted out something.
"I...suddenly can feel your soul."
"real?"
The little koala turned the camera around and looked at her up and down in surprise, as if she didn't expect to hear these words.
Dora also had an uncertain expression on her face, as if she couldn't see very clearly, but after a moment she nodded affirmatively and said in a determined tone.
"I saw it, but I'm not sure...if it's yours."
The murals engraved on the wall can host the soul of the creator, and if you can establish a spiritual connection or resonance with the creator, you can understand the meaning of the murals.
This is the most basic use of "psionic energy".
But now, the murals on the wall are moving and moving like people.
This is a craft, or form of existence, that she has never seen before.
It was precisely because of this that she couldn't decide whether the soul belonged to the little koala itself or the person who created it.
But maybe, it doesn't actually make any difference.
Who can prove that a person's soul has nothing to do with the person who created him?
Perhaps their souls did not actually come from the Tree of Insof at all, but came from the inheritance from generation to generation from the beginning...
Suddenly, Dora seemed to understand something, and a hint of understanding gradually appeared in her eyes.
After coming into contact with things she had never been exposed to before, she gained a new understanding of her own abilities and beliefs, and was one step closer to the truth that "He" had understood.
The little koala looked at her quietly.
Although it couldn't understand what she was feeling at the moment, it was a little curious about what she said.
In the world of 0 and 1, the existence that can be seen but cannot be determined is difficult for it to understand.
It wants to try to help her see more clearly.
"What shape is it?"
Dora closed her eyes, shook her head, frowned and thought hard for a while, and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I can't tell. He's a...very friendly and easy-going person?"
The little koala continued to ask.
"Any more specific characteristics?"
Dora paused for a moment and then said.
"That's all about him, but there are other things... He has certain expectations for you, as if he has placed a part of himself in you."
"for example?"
The voice seemed to contain a hint of expectation, but it was not so easy to detect.
But Dora was sure she heard it.
And it was that glimmer of expectation that convinced her that the soul she saw belonged to her.
At least part of it is!
"He hopes... that you can see for him what happened after he left, many, many things that he has never seen."
As if implying this answer, the little koala froze in place for a long time, and then said with some emotion after a moment.
"...So that's what it is."
Dora tilted her head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing...just a little unexpected," the little koala's camera moved. "I thought my mission was over, but it seems that his expectations of me are not what I understand. Thank you."
Dora blinked.
Although she didn't know what she had done, she clearly heard the heartfelt thanks from the soul that resided on the cold steel.
Who it belonged to didn't seem to matter from the start.
In fact, they are all the same...
…
The 32-minute countdown is over.
The moment the hyperspace engine completed charging, the entire dilapidated starship suddenly began to shake slightly.
Ye Shi, who was standing next to Jiang Xuezhou, suddenly grabbed her hand without warning.
Jiang Xuezhou's hand shook slightly, and he hid a little embarrassedly, but he did not take his hand out of his palm.
"What are you doing..."
Listening to the low murmur, Ye Shi also had an embarrassed expression on his face.
"I don't do anything, just because I'm afraid I won't see you again if I'm not careful."
Hearing these words, Jiang Xuezhou felt a sweetness in his heart and snorted softly.
"How is it possible? This lady is a genius..."
She's not bragging.
Given enough time and resources, she could even transform this old antique ship into something even better based on the original.
[Charging completed, entering the hyperspace channel...]
Light blue text was printed on the holographic pop-up window, and the bright stars were reflected on the dark floor-to-ceiling windows for an instant.
At the same time, the thousands of shining starlight dust turned into a dazzling blue and white, and in an instant turned into thousands of light trails, illuminating the entire bridge white.
This is the first time that Ye Shi has entered the hyperspace channel in a sober state.
At the same time, this was the most shocking experience he had ever had since putting on a gaming helmet and entering the world.
The universe shrunk to a point in front of him, and then expanded infinitely.
At that moment, he seemed to tear apart space, jump out of his original dimension, and go to a world that he couldn't see or touch.
That happened in a split second.
In just the blink of an eye, his physical body had crossed five light-years and jumped from Nanmen II to the solar system with Orion.
"It's so incredible..."
Looking at the familiar sun and azure planet, Ye Shi froze in place for a long time, and finally let out a heartfelt sigh.
After three Earth months, they finally returned to the familiar vicinity of the Earth-Moon system.
And as a hero who saved the earth!
It was not only him who showed an incredible expression, but also Dora who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Her eyes widened, she held the window with both hands, and wanted to poke her nose in.
Suddenly she turned around and cast her surprised and excited eyes on the two ancestors.
"That's...your home?"
Ye Shi nodded and said with a smile.
"Yes, its name is Earth."
Dora tilted her head, showing a confused expression.
"But... it looks like there's more water?"
Ye Shi: "Well... this is normal. After all, we live on the ground."
Dora made an astonished expression and nodded in understanding.
"I see, but if you put it this way...our planet can also be called the Earth."
Ye Shi smiled and said.
"It can be said that you have developed your own culture and language... But no matter what you call your home planet, we will probably translate that word as 'Gaia'."
While the two were communicating, Jiang Xuezhou, who was sitting in front of the console, suddenly became nervous.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something in low-Earth orbit... It's a steel structure about 500 meters long and wide, and about 50 meters thick at the center. No... where did the space junk go?!"
Looking at the situation in low-Earth orbit, Jiang Xuezhou looked confused and had no idea what was happening.
Ye Shi was not surprised at all, and said with a smile.
"Did you forget about the gravity well?"
Jiang Xuezhou was stunned, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his mouth.
"Already...deployed successfully?!"
He nodded at ten o'clock in the night.
"Yes, and that was two weeks ago."
Two weeks ago, the gravity well deployed in the southern sea was officially started, pulling the garbage in low-Earth orbit into the atmosphere and guiding them to crash in the southern sea.
According to what players said on the official website forum, the space junk falling from the sky is like a meteor shower, forming burning trails in the sky, as if it has cast a star ring on the earth.
The whole process lasted ten full days!
Whether they are players in Yavent City or Dawn City, they can clearly see the dense orbital debris falling from the sky like an asteroid belt.
To be honest, Ye Shi felt a little regretful for not being able to see the spectacular meteor shower.
But he soon thought that he had witnessed the rise and fall of civilization, which was no more impressive than a meteor shower, so he suddenly felt less regretful.
This wave is not a loss!
Jiang Xuezhou looked at him with a confused expression, and opened his mouth slightly.
"You...can you really contact the other side of the earth?"
Ye Shi shrugged.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I have always been in contact with the Earth side? Didn't I also help you send a few words to the academy?"
Regarding the issue of heavenly beings, the alliance and the academy have signed an information sharing agreement, so the alliance has not kept secrets about things five light years away from the academy, and has even exchanged information with researchers at the academy.
He also heard on the official website that the academy was quite shocked after learning about the existence of the morphogenetic field, and even suspected that the researchers of the alliance were joking.
But now there is probably no controversy.
When the Orion guided missile cruiser arrived in front of all of them, all doubts were overturned.
Although this is actually nothing to show off.
Dora looked here blankly.
Although she didn't understand what the academy meant, she was still shocked by his words.
The Doma tribe should have made great achievements in the research of psychic energy, and this was even the most direct reason why Tunnan's attitude towards the ancestor changed from initial respect to later arrogance.
However, even if their research on psychic energy is insightful, the exchange of information must be carried out face-to-face, and this kind of communication across long distances is far from possible.
The gap between them seems to be only a small river, but in fact it is five light years or more.
"It's amazing..." Dora sighed sincerely in her heart, and her admiration and admiration for the ancestor increased even more.
This is incredible!
"But... wait, haven't you awakened your spiritual power at that time? Why... my mind is a little messed up, please let me sort it out..."
Jiang Xuezhou took a deep breath and hugged the helmet that rolled away with both hands, but his thoughts became more and more confused.
Especially when she thought of the previous bet, her entire face turned red.
Looking at Xiao Jiang who was speaking incoherently, Ye Shi smiled and said.
"The reason why I can establish contact with the earth five light years away is not because of psychic powers...emmm...but I can't say for sure. The morphogenetic field may be another explanation of psychic powers, at least that's what I personally think.
Understood.”
As for more professional matters, it’s better to leave them to professionals.
"Then, then... what's going on with this steel structure?!" For fear that this guy would remember the bet, Jiang Xuezhou hurriedly changed the topic, and moved his index finger on the holographic screen to move the one in the distance.
A strange-looking magnifying glass was dragged in front of me.
From a distance, that thing looks like a steel plate lying across the low-Earth orbit, with its central axis pointing straight to the center of the earth.
If you look closely, you will see that the steel plate is inlaid with cannon barrels that stand like hedgehog steel needles, aiming at the sea of stars beyond the atmosphere.
According to what other players said on the official website forum, a total of fifty electromagnetic accelerators are installed on this 25-square-kilometer defense platform. They are composed of four connecting plates and are pushed from the surface to the inland orbit through an anti-gravity system to complete the installation.
It is said that these electromagnetic accelerators are built according to the standards of the anti-ship electromagnetic guns in the inventory of Vault 60. Only three guns at most can overload the deflector shield of the frigate class.
As for the missile cruiser-level ship-based shield, although it has not been specifically tested, it is assumed that it is a matter of a salvo.
At present, the Alliance has mastered the defense methods in low-Earth orbit. Even if the Celestial Beings at Lagrange Point have other trump cards in their hands, the survivors in the wasteland can deal with them with full confidence.
Neutron plumes are not as scary as imagined.
As long as it is destroyed before it enters the atmosphere, the barrier of the geomagnetic field itself will be enough to reduce its power to an almost harmless level.
"That's our low-Earth orbit defense platform...a planetary defense facility built by the Alliance, its allies, the corporations, and you."
"Unless the Herald comes back from another universe, I can't think of anything that could break through its defenses...unless it's aliens who have mastered interstellar navigation capabilities like us."
Looking at Jiang Xuezhou who looked surprised, Ye Shi said with a smile.
"Let's just go over there and stop on the synchronous orbit... My good brothers are already there waiting for us to go back."
