“…… Exploration of the asteroid belt has been unsuccessful, and a growing number of scientists believe that there are no signs of prehistoric civilization in the asteroid belt, a claim that itself comes from Icarus - during the first Icarus crisis, there was indeed observational evidence that Icarus came from the asteroid belt, but this may have been a ...... by chance"

"But don't worry, the probability of dying instantly after teleportation is probably lower than the probability of being killed by a meteorite when you go out."

Jiesi blinked her eyes and gave Ling Yu an encouraging smile, "After all, compared to the solar system, the probability of the Earth's deep sea, the interior of Jupiter, or lava is much lower, and, logically, since you are ...... The engraving was once the property of a certain 'first mate', so it stands to reason that point-to-point transmission should not be an extremely harsh environment...... Or rather, the probability is very low, huh. ”

"You didn't give me any comfort at all...... Ling Yu buckled the helmet on his head, unlike the helmet of ordinary shuttle astronauts, this kind of fully enclosed helmet was more powerful and more protective - of course, in the face of space junk at the level of cosmic speed, it made no difference to paper paste, "Can I change my mind now?" ”

"Why, boss?" Jiesi narrowed her eyes, stood up and walked in front of Ling Yu, stretched out her hand, and adjusted the position of Ling Yu's helmet - Ling Yu, who was wearing this thing for the first time, had not been able to find the connection at the collar, and relied on Jiesi's help to complete the connection and activation of the whole body clothing.

"Think about it, exploring anything from a prehistoric civilization can greatly increase your strength, even if it's not very useful, it's worth selling it to the Allied Academy of Sciences."

"If you have money, you have to spend it." Ling Yu sighed, through the camera that had been activated, through the thick helmet Ling Yu felt that he could clearly see the little devil's tail flicking behind Jeunse, "I've never been Columbus or Gagarin." ”

"But I believe you're Rogers, right?" Jiesi gently patted Ling Yu's shoulder, stepped back to the computer on the table, and took out a headset and hung it on her ear, "Even if you don't believe in your luck, you should trust me, right?" ”

"Forget it, they're all on the thief ship anyway, and it won't be painful for long if you die, it's better than being caught by the Knights or the ACA and being dismantled." Ling Yu shook his head, took a step back, and stood in the energy buffer position arranged by Jiesi - this was a device to prevent Ling Yu from sucking the entire house away, although Ling Yu did not suck anything away from South Africa, and it was not yet known what the effect of this second-hand device bought on the black market could be in the face of an unknown prehistoric civilization, but it was somewhat a psychological comfort.

"Communication check."

"Clear, double-check."

"Clear, no problem, when you get there, you can synchronize the feed from the head camera to the quantum channel, and as long as you are in the solar system, I can receive the footage."

Jessy's voice came from the helmet, and the two of them quickly completed the final check of the equipment, and Jessy's slender fingers wrapped in white gloves entered the last string of commands, and then walked in front of Ling Yu.

"What if I ......" Ling Yu sighed, revealing a final expression of resignation, "Forget it, don't say anything unlucky,"

"Yes, maybe praying might be more useful," Jessy's current smile seemed to Ling Yu to be a complete kind of schadenfreude, but in the next second, Jess put away her smile, she straightened her back, and then slammed a knightly salute at Ling Yu.

"Ready, Ling Yu, it's time to take off."

"Don't make it so grand...... Ling Yu took a deep breath, finally glanced at the UI interface of the helmet, took a step back, and held his left hand with his right hand, "God, Buddha, Taishang Laojun......"

"Bless!"

In the next second, Ling Yu clearly felt that as the thought of "starting to teleport" was generated in his mind, the lines of his left hand emitted heat in an instant, and the lines like tattoos restored the vitality when they were implanted in his body, and the young man clearly felt that countless tiny nanomachine qì people were moving and reorganizing under his skin.

It seemed that it was right, Ling Yu closed his eyes and carefully felt every subtle change coming from his left hand, after about three or four seconds, there was no further change in the lines.

Isn't it possible? As Ling Yu thought about it, he felt that one of the lines was constantly spreading towards his wrist—no, it was not so much a spread, but a slight touch.

Do you want me to be sure of what I just directed? For no reason, such an idea popped up in Ling Yu's mind, almost subconsciously, and the idea of "confirming teleportation" came up.

Then the young man's eyes darkened and he fainted.

**

*

Darkness, an endless darkness.

In the deathly silence, all Ling Yu could feel was his own heartbeat and breathing.

I'm alive...... Is it?

Although the first reaction of the subconscious was this, but soon, the strong heartbeat and rapid breathing confirmed his survival.

It seems that his last prayer worked, at least not immediately crushed by the pitch-black seawater, or fell into the lava and vaporized.

But where are you?

The young man, who had regained a little bit of thinking ability, was about to open his heavy eyelids to confirm his position, when he felt a spasm in his stomach, and the violent vomiting sensation made his limbs move subconsciously, and the weightlessness that was as weak as a stroke was transmitted to the young man's brain, and then, the violent retching caused Ling Yu to squirt out a mouthful of saliva.

"Vomit detected, cleaning up."

Ling Yu opened his eyes and saw that the clear liquid he had squirted was suspended in the helmet and then absorbed into the waste tank below, he resisted the convulsions of his stomach to prevent the second vomit, and at the same time, his eyes had already begun to scan the UI interface quickly to determine his condition.

Vacuum, slight gravity...... You can be sure that you have completely flown out of the atmosphere, and that you have not yet melted to prove that you have not flown near the sun.

But at this time, Ling Yu missed the sun very much - in the universe where there was no east, west, north and south, and even up and down became relative concepts, with Ling Yu's astronomical knowledge, the only hope for determining the position was the sun.

The problem was that he turned his head, and it was darkness as far as he could see.

What's going on?

Just when he was at a loss, suddenly, a burst of light came into his display, and then, the light became more and more intense, so much so that Ling Yu almost lost his vision.

"Adjust the amount of light entering the sensor...... Complete. ”

The AI built into the helmet faithfully reported Ling Yu's current condition, but Ling Yu couldn't care about the cold mechanical synthesized sound.

"I cāo......"

Because, after the huge metal plate in front of him slowly rotated and moved away, he clearly saw the sun in the distance, which was like a spot of light, but it was incomparably gorgeous.

Ling Yu had never been to space.

All his impressions of space came from old-fashioned 2D movies that had no sense of substitution, and at this moment, the young man standing in the universe in a suspended state suddenly felt a kind of fear for no reason.

That is the most intuitive reaction to the vastness of the universe and its insignificance.

"Ling Yu, can you hear me? Boss? Ling Yu? ”

"I'm alive."

Fortunately, Jiesi's call pulled Ling Yu back from this shock in time, subconsciously moved his limbs, and after glancing at all the green lights on the interface, Ling Yu shook his head and pressed the intercom.

"Where am I now?"

"The true God is above...... Your current location is in the asteroid belt! Jeunse's voice was filled with an undisguised sense of surprise and excitement - of course, as to why she was excited, only she could tell.

"Is it the Firewood Asteroid Belt?"

"Yes," Jess must be very excited now, because through the quantum communication device, Ling Yu even heard the sound of Jesse tapping on the keyboard, "The specific location is being uploaded to your UI interface." ”

"Okay, it's not pretty, but it's absolutely stunning." Ling Yu raised his head again and glanced at the brilliant sun, but at this time, he had lost the mood to enjoy the scenery, "But the important thing is what I should do now." ”

"It's impossible for the teleporter to just drop you in a corner of the universe, it must have its own reason for sending you to the asteroid belt" Jiesi's voice was a little distorted, Ling Yu frowned, it was the first time he knew that something would interfere with quantum communication, but he didn't interrupt Jiesi's statement, "Look to see if there are any man-made products nearby." ”

"Okay." After a brief answer, Ling Yu tried to manipulate the space boots on his legs, and the violent thrust made Ling Yu roll suddenly, and the young man who had lost his balance paddled his arm like a drowning swimmer, until he grabbed a strip next to him to stabilize his body.

"What's wrong? Your physical index has changed. "Jeunse's concern is always timely.

"Nothing, just not used to it." Ling Yu, who gave the answer lightly, is truly fearless for the ignorant - it is extremely dangerous to start rolling in the universe, and if you are not careful, you will become a new kind of space junk.

"Jeunse, what did you just ask me to find?"

"I said there are no traces of man-made products, what's wrong?"

"I think, I found it." Looking at the metal rod in his hand, or something like a steel bar, the young man turned his head and his gaze fell on the huge metal plate that had obscured his vision, "I found something that would never have been a natural formation. ”

"Take a picture and show me!"

"Okay."

Although Jiesi couldn't see it, Ling Yu nodded subconsciously, adjusted his boots again, and determined a way to make himself fly smoothly, and the extremely adaptable youth began to try to move forward.

"Sent." Flying forward for some distance, Ling Yu turned around, took a basically complete photo with the helmet camera and sent it to Jiesi, and after waiting for a short time in boredom, Ling Yu received Jiesi's reply.

"This is an obvious man-made trace, and it does not match the creation of any earth civilization, there are obvious traces of internal explosion in the place of the rupture, and most importantly, the above two patterns are the '14' in the number of prehistoric civilizations."

"But I don't see anything else around," Ling Yu turned his head to look, and even turned on his headlights, but he didn't see anything else as far as he could see.

"It must have been an explosion...... Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and it may be difficult to deduce the trajectory of the explosion to analyze the original location......"

"Wait a minute!!"

Suddenly, Ling Yu's frightened and anxious voice covered the entire channel.

**

"Warning! Spacesuit cracked! ”

"The gel layer is taking effect......"

"Patched up, warning, abnormal trajectory movement detected, please correct the posture immediately!"

At this time, Ling Yu's condition was far from being "dangerous".

Things weren't complicated, just as Jiesi was stating her analysis, Ling Yu, who was floating in the air, suddenly felt something scratch his right back violently - to be precise, it was a high-speed flying piece of metal that slashed across his right waist, cutting a tiny crack of about a millimeter in his spacesuit.

The good news is that the wound is not severe, and the gel layer built into the spacesuit can be automatically filled, which will not turn Ling Yu into a frozen dried corpse floating in a vacuum, but the bad news is that the huge speed carried on the metal piece is instantly transferred to Ling Yu, and the young man wrapped in the spacesuit is like a rag doll thrown into the air by a naughty child, spinning and flying towards the depths of the asteroid belt.

"**Teasing me,**Teasing me,**Teasing me......"

Ling Yu muttered nervously as he desperately adjusted the angles of the various vents, but the thrust of the one-man propulsion unit was far from enough to dissipate the kinetic energy generated by the high-speed space junk, and Ling Yu stopped the useless struggle and closed all the vents after consuming about half of the propellant - not because he gave up, because he had to stop this pointless waste.

Because the mapping radar suddenly gave a hint that an obstacle with a volume of tens of kilometers was appearing on his "running track".

"Congratulations, Jesse, your plan to murder your boss will be successful in no time."

Ling Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and put on a wry smile.
