Earth time, May 4. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tens of millions of kilometers away in deep space, a flying machine is sailing at a constant speed.

Inside the dead object-like aircraft lies a young man. With a respirator on his head, he lay quietly in the hibernation pod, as if his bodily functions had completely stopped. The entire hibernation pod is embedded in the driver's seat in the electric ray cockpit, and the inside of the glass cover is dotted with ice slag, like an ice coffin that exudes the cold air of the forest.

The blue signal lights flickered slightly, and with a slight sound, the mist slowly drifted out of the gaps on both sides of the hibernation pod, and was pulled away by fans on the interior wall of the cockpit. The glass shroud on top slowly opened, and then the entire hibernation pod cracked into four steel shells, which closed behind the cockpit.

"Dormancy End ......"

Without a trace of emotion, the electronic sound sounded in his ears, Liu Qingpeng opened his eyes and moved his stiff limbs. Taking off the respirator, his stomach band twitched abruptly, hunched over and retched twice, but nothing but bile came out.

In order to prevent the food in the stomach belt from rotting and destroying the homeostasis, he ate a mixture of nutrients for three days before the flight.

Holding the joystick in his hand, the cold feeling gradually faded from his body, and it took a while for Liu Qingpeng to recover from his discomfort.

"I ...... Is this here?"

"Connecting navigators for you...... Please wait. Confirming the driver's heartbeat, the green light flickered slightly, and a cold electronic sound sounded in his ears, and soon, a noise of FM flashed in his ears, and the vague sound gradually became clear.

"This is the command center, please answer when you hear it. ”

Adjusting his breathing, Liu Qingpeng pressed on the helmet and turned on the microphone, "Electric ray A-1, received." ”

Navigator: "Glad to hear you again, it looks like you're still alive...... Zizi ......"

Liu Qingpeng smiled and moved his stiff neck, "Can I take this as your blessing?"

"Absolutely. ”

From the ground command center to his current location, even electromagnetic waves would take four or five minutes, but in the face of quantum entanglement effect communication technology, this distance of tens of millions of kilometers was easily crossed. Although the sound was mixed with a lot of noise, the communication was relatively smooth.

At the direction of the navigator, he recorrected the course and the rays began to slow down.

From his current position, he could already observe the unnatural black spot with the help of optical sights.

This discovery surprised and apprehension both to him. Surprisingly, his luck was good, and there were no accidents after all in the tens of millions of kilometers of death flight. Worriedly, even the navigator could not tell him what awaited him there.

Glancing at the Gauss rifle inserted next to the right leg of the cockpit, however, the rifle for outer space, which cost S$1 million, did not give him a great sense of security. He was very skeptical that if he ran into an alien with a laser gun, this expensive "toy" would come in handy.

"Approach the UFO if the other party reacts to the attack...... Zizi ......"

The communication from the ground command center was abruptly interrupted, Liu Qingpeng frowned, and restarted the communication device, but still did not receive a signal from the earth.

"Communication shielding?" muttered to himself, his fingers rubbing against the safety on the joystick, looking through the optical sights at the unnatural darkness of dozens of kilometers away.

There was no extra energy left for him to step on the brakes and change course, fly out of the communications shielded airspace for directions, and then turn back. There was only one chance of contact, and there were only twenty-four hours left for him to investigate the target.

For a distance of tens of kilometers, the electric ray A-1 flew for four hours. When the pitch-black UFO was close enough to be observed by the naked eye, the electric ray finally ended its deceleration and reached a relatively stationary state with it.

All communications were cut off, and even when the drone was released, the screen was snowflakes white.

Looking at the darkness hundreds of meters away and hesitating for a moment, Liu Qingpeng gritted his teeth, pulled out the Gauss rifle from his right leg, buckled the gun strap on the nylon buckle around the waist of the spacesuit, and then manually opened the cockpit of the electric ray and jumped lightly into deep space.

Being in the boundless darkness, fear that goes deep into the marrow instinctively creeps into my heart.

After taking several deep breaths, he finally overcame his instinctive fear of the deep sea, and with his arms slightly back, he controlled the small nozzle mouth at the joint, and floated towards the UFO with the reaction force of the jet.

When he got close to the position of ten meters, the disobedience of the torn picture suddenly disappeared, and a silver-white ball with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly appeared in his field of vision. At this moment, he could only conclude that this was definitely not a natural phenomenon that existed by coincidence.

Liu Qingpeng set up the Gauss rifle in his hand, controlled the nozzle mouth to adjust his speed, flew around the ball, and found a crooked fracture behind it. On the iron frame inside the fracture, fragments of meteorites can be seen.

"What a big coincidence is this...... Liu Qingpeng muttered in a low voice, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Even the oncoming meteorite could not dodge, and it was obvious that the energy of this flying machine had been exhausted. In fact, he was still a little worried when he came in, if the aircraft suddenly flew away when he came in, then he really couldn't go back.

The spherical aircraft has three layers, with the middle one being the widest. In this spacecraft, he did not find any trace of aliens, nor did he find any traces of the sleeping pod, not even the pilot's seat.

Maybe it's an unmanned aerial vehicle in itself, or maybe it's just a way of being that he can't understand the higher beings who hold it.

"It looks like this toy is no longer useful. Liu Qingpeng pulled the corners of his mouth, reluctantly pulled out a smile, lowered the muzzle of the rifle in his hand, and walked back and forth in the hall on the middle floor, carefully inspecting every corner, and taking photos for evidence at the same time.

This craft should have belonged to a civilization, and nine times out of ten it is a civilization that has disappeared in time.

Nature erased everything it had ever existed, leaving only this wreckage floating in the depths.

It took about 30 minutes, Liu Qingpeng took pictures of all the corners of the upper, middle and lower layers of the aircraft, and with the nearly 1G storage data, his task on this trip was finally completed.

That's how it should be.

However, just as he returned to the lobby of the mezzanine level, standing next to the platform he had first touched to inspect the photograph, he inadvertently found a dent in the flat platform by the light of a flashlight.

The dent was special, as if only a light cut at a certain angle could reveal it.

"This is?" Frowning slightly, he reached out and touched the dent lightly. At the same time, a light suddenly lit up from the platform. A round sphere slowly rises from the other side of the platform, detaching itself from the platform and floating above it.

This lost civilization seems to have a soft spot for spheres.

staring blankly at the round ball glowing with a little fluorescence, Liu Qingpeng didn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and reached out to grab the sphere...... (To be continued.) )
