Chapter 19 Sky Veil Battleship
…
【Ship drawings have been entered】
【New technologies have been added to the technology tree】
In the past, the database was always completed in an instant, this time it took a long, long time. Li Wenyuan didn't hear the news of the database until the group of aliens had finished many discussions and even started to record what they saw and heard.
Immediately afterwards, he called up the interface of the technology tree, and looked at the "level 8 technology" located at a very high position.
Sure enough, there was a solitary illuminated technology there, which was out of place with the surrounding gray area.
【Sky Veil Battleship】
【Technology Level: 8】
【Introduction: The full understanding and utilization of the subspace has allowed us to stop worrying about the size and quality of the spaceship. Building a "super battleship" that is actually large enough to cover the star system will become an interstellar spectacle in the new era, and any civilization will be impressed by it]
【Possible technology: subspace giant construction project (0%); creation theory (0%); curtain theory (0%)】
The subspace is a kind of buffer zone between the existence and the positive matter space and the antimatter space.
It does not belong to the space in the general sense, and the physical theory in reality does not apply to it.
The giant battleship that covered the entire sky used technologies related to subspace.
According to the drawings in the database, the actual cross-sectional area of this giant warship is larger than that of the solar system.
Such a huge volume and mass make it impossible to fully appear in the real universe, because the gravity generated by itself is enough to destroy itself.
At this time, the "huge black curtain" covering the sky above the earth is actually only a very small part of its hull, not even 0.0001% of its total volume.
But even so, this Sky Veil battleship still subdued all the aliens in an instant.
As said in the introduction: "Any civilization will be impressed by it".
"Although I have blueprints, I still can't actually build this thing..." With a powerful technology up to level 8, Li Wenyuan didn't seem very happy.
Because the front-end technology required by the "Sky Veil Battleship" has not yet been unlocked, and its construction consumption is also a terrifying figure, he can't even imagine how humans used to build such a giant.
"Let's take a look at the unexpected functions of this 'Sky Veil Battleship' first." Li Wenyuan looked at the relevant parameters with great interest.
And those aliens are also discussing this unknown creation that covers the sky.
"What do you think that would be?"
"Judging from the fact that this relic was attracted after it was activated, it is probably something that the lost civilization here once made."
"Could it be a kind of cosmic creature?"
"Biology? I don't think it's possible. After so long, we haven't observed any movement from it. I prefer it to be some kind of undiscovered cosmic phenomenon."
"It's hard to say. When the macroscopic volume of a living thing grows to a certain level, the laws we are familiar with may not necessarily apply to it. Do you think that living things that are so big still need to eat plants or meat? "
"But cosmic phenomena are also possible. Maybe after this relic is activated, this kind of 'black screen' will be generated, and the entire planet will be placed in a state where it does not interact with the outside world."
"Actually, I agree that this is an undiscovered cosmic phenomenon." The young man who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke out, which also attracted everyone's attention.
"Our instruments didn't detect any suspicious signals. In fact, since it appeared, I've been concerned about one thing, that is, why isn't this place affected by abnormal gravity?"
The young man's eyes seemed to be shining at this time, and a strong self-confidence made him keep talking.
"Whether it's big enough or close enough to here, its mass should have a huge impact on the planet."
"But gravity doesn't seem to exist. What does this mean? It means it has no mass, or the mass is extremely small!"
"However, it does obscure the sky. Perhaps we should try to understand it as a cosmic phenomenon and conduct research on this basis."
The young man talked more and more vigorously, as if he was confident in his own theory, and even the professor kept nodding his head, as if approving his words.
"As a theory, it is indeed remarkable, but don't be so confident. Our spaceship is still a lesson from the past. Maybe this shady scene is the effect of a technology that we cannot understand?"
This voice is very familiar, but it makes everyone creepy.
"Fat, fat man? Didn't you get eaten by me—by that giant spider?" The young man just wanted to blurt out, but abruptly changed the second half of the sentence into information that everyone knew.
Most of the people didn't notice this, they were just surprised by Fatty's resurrection.
"It's not actually a giant spider—well, it looks very similar in appearance, but if we pay more attention, we can actually find that it is actually a large robot." Fatty didn't respond to everyone's surprise, and continued calmly. :
"The body of that large robot is a storage room. Not long after you left, it hung me on a tree. It seems to be performing a disciplinary action."
"After that, I managed to escape, and chased here through the traces you left. Why, don't you welcome me?"
Fatty's explanation is quite light, almost unbelievable.
But he appeared here alive again at this time, which made it difficult for everyone to explain.
Strangely, they remembered the previous discussion about the function of this ruin, thinking that it could resurrect the dead.
Then the fat man in front of him...is he a person who came back from the dead?
Finally, it was Cowper who said: "...Of course we welcome you, but for some reasons, I need to ask you a few questions, and I can answer them before you can return to the team."
"Oh~ Have you encountered some kind of monster that can imitate the appearance of others? But it doesn't matter, just ask."
"First question, who am I?"
"You are Cowper."
"Second question, where is your home planet?"
"It's the star of Karaporches."
There were no abnormalities in the two consecutive questions, and everyone's dignified expressions gradually relaxed. Only Cowper frowned tightly, feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.
"The last question, what is the purpose of our coming here?"
"It's to explore the ruins recorded in your manuscript. How about it, is it okay?"
The fat man who answered all three questions flawlessly made everyone believe him temporarily, and even Cowper looked relieved.
"Welcome back to the team, Fatty, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
"Your experience is really legendary, if we can get out of here, I will write a book for you!"
"That's it!"
Everyone sent more or less celebratory words, and Cowper was no exception.
"I'm really glad you're safe and sound, but we've had a lot of new doubts during this time (Galactic Common)... you biologist, can you help us (Laborn)? "
"Of course not (Laborn)..."
At this moment, Copper's pupils shrank sharply, stopped everyone, and stared nervously at the fat man.
And the fat man also realized something, changed the language, and continued to speak in the common language of the galaxy:
"...There is no need to be so vigilant, can't I learn a foreign language in private?"
"...Of course it's not about learning another foreign language," Cowper looked at the fat man solemnly, and said slowly:
"I don't know who you are, but you should have not been in contact with the interstellar society for a long time."
"Laborn language is notoriously difficult to learn in Interstellar. Basically, when foreigners need to use it, they use synthetic voice instead of it directly."
"...Hey, can you deny me in this way? It's a bit biased." "Fatty" also looked at Cowper curiously at this time, trying to make a final struggle.
Cowper continued after a brief silence:
"The pronunciation of Laborn requires a special organ unique to Laborn. And our ship... I am the only one who is Laborn."
