Chapter 19: The Space Elevator
The clear sky makes the light from the stars particularly intense and dazzling, and there is no sign of life in the desert, whether it plants or animals.
But it is in this harsh environment that there is a city built by civilization?
"Holy! I have encountered a planet of great value twice in a row, so I'm sure I'm not overdrawing Yang Shou to space jump, right? ”
After confirming that it was not a mirage, Lu Yu, who had left the planet of life because of the earthquake, only had a slight sense of loss that had been filled with surprise.
Extraterrestrial civilizations!
Isn't humanity's eagerness to find evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life?
And now everything in front of him is announcing to Lu Yu and the Blue Star Humans who are far away from countless star seas that the light of civilization and technology is not the patent of the human race in the universe!
It's so exciting, but it's also terrifying.
The silent starry sky has really given birth to the light of civilization, so why is the universe still so quiet?
Is it really the Dark Forest? Or is light-years an insurmountable hurdle in the Great Filter?
All this is still unknown, but there is a lucky individual like Lu Yu in the human race, and the vision of the entire race will slowly see the appearance of this universe with his footsteps.
"It seems that the level of technological development of this civilization is still above the Blue Star?"
"Am I going to be discovered?"
Lu Yu asked Professor Mao a little eagerly in the cockpit, after all, in many science fiction works, aliens seem to be the object of slice research.
If Lu Yu is still on the Blue Star, of course, he supports his extraterrestrial friends who are unwilling to travel thousands of miles to dedicate themselves to human science and technology, this kind of great sacrifice spirit that touches the universe.
But now........ It seems that he himself has become that alien, so Lu Yu must be guarding his genetic sequence for a race like humans, and he can't make himself a research object!
But the level of science and technology is high to a certain extent, and the technical products displayed are no different from magic in the eyes of the Blue Star people, especially Lu Yu, who has a black technology embodiment system, compares his heart to his heart, what if this civilization has the technology to interfere with space jumping?
Do you still want to observe others?
You should run away!
In the past, it was reserved for 2 space jumps to be able to escape as quickly as possible in such a situation!
"Let's observe the situation first!"
"If anything isn't right, I'll jump in the startup space."
"After all, if we treat them as aliens, they will also treat me as aliens, and in the face of the unknown, they won't be malicious attacks, right?"
The experts' discussion still yielded no results, but Lu Yu had his own idea.
He pressed the switch and moved around the Silver Star.
The Silver Star flipped over the sand dunes, and Lu Yu, who had a wider field of vision, was shocked by the scene in front of him for a moment, and he was speechless for a long time.
A large mass of metal remains was suspended in mid-air in defiance of gravity, and the blue streamers intertwined between them like lightning, even in the harshest moment of the sun.
And on the ground, the wreckage is even more exaggerated!
Unlike those fragments of metal that could still be suspended in mid-air, the wreckage on the ground was even larger, and in the center of the basin that Lu Yu saw stood like a mountain!
This basin is probably the crater that this wreck smashed out of the sky!
And there are still many such wrecks on the ground, Lu Yu raised his eyes to look, until the end of the horizon as far as the eye could see was these wrecks that had been smashed to the ground, and the entire ground was a basin that had been smashed out!
"Whether it is those debris floating in the sky, or the wreckage buried in the ground and only showing a corner on the sand dunes, it is undoubtedly a trace of civilization!"
"Oh my God! It turned out that it wasn't a mountain, but a fallen spaceship! ”
The images Lu Yu had collected were shocking enough, and as he adjusted the angle, the black pressure of the 'mountain range' in the extreme distance became clear.
It wasn't a sprawling mountain range at all, but a spaceship that seemed to have a complete main structure, except that it also crashed into the desert, sputtering light that covered half of the sky from time to time!
Seeing such an amazing creation, even Lu Yu's desire to explore was half cold, and he honestly remained motionless on the sand dunes.
"You need to understand that this is a meeting that has the potential to determine the future of humanity."
Yes, the future of humanity is at stake...... In a certain base where the secrecy of Blue Star has been mentioned to the highest base, Professor Mao once again confirmed his words, this time the discovery of space jump may really be related to the future of mankind.
Through the pictures taken by Lu Yu, and then the most advanced computer was used to simulate and reason about the mountain-like spaceship, and its shape, location, terrain, etc. were calculated, and finally several possible restoration maps were obtained.
This is...... What a magnificent spaceship!
The ship may be nearly a dozen kilometers or so at length, taking on an elliptical shape, and around it, there seem to be pieces of wreckage that do not belong to the structure of the ship.
Such an alien spaceship group is unimaginably magnificent in terms of the existing technology of mankind, especially the semi-elliptical spaceship that is simulated and restored, this one alone is enough to produce an oppressive feeling for human civilization...... This is a level of science and technology that cannot be imagined by human beings at present.
This one alone, if it sails into the solar system, may only take a month, no, even when it occupies the outer space orbit of the Blue Star, it will be enough to destroy human civilization.
Of course, it is more likely that after this spacecraft declared war on humanity, humanity will soon choose to surrender after discovering that nuclear weapons are so powerless in a space war.
Especially if aliens do not carry out exterminating slaughter of human beings, and still retain some human habitat a little, then there is an excuse for the continuation of civilization, and I believe that many people will rush to choose to sacrifice their home planet.
Maybe we can go to Australia together and be neighbors with kangaroos.
Looking back at the eyes, Professor Mao swept away the terrifying spaceship picture, and the content of the next picture made more experts gasp.
The magnificent city that Lu Yu saw first looked like a silver-white cylinder extending from the surface of the earth all the way up to the sky, and this endless cylinder seemed to extend all the way to space, becoming the main bridge for receiving materials and transporting materials from the universe.
"Oh my God! Is this a space elevator? ”
"Is the space elevator the right way to go?"
"To what extent has the technology of this civilization developed? Why let so many spaceship wrecks be scattered in the desert? ”
It's not that the technology of space elevators is higher than that of large spaceships, but that it is easier to see the value of space elevators because of a possibility and that humans have had similar ideas.
Then there are photos on display, which makes the gasp of cold air in the conference room incessant.
Such discussions were destined to go on for a long time, but until late at night, none of the experts wanted to adjourn because they saw a door to the future about to open!
