Chapter 19: The Celestial Veil Battleship
……
[Ship drawings have been entered]
[New technologies have been added to the Tech Tree]
The database, which used to be entered in an instant, took a long, long time this time, and it wasn't until the group of aliens had completed many discussions and even started recording what they saw and heard that Li Wenyuan heard the news of the database.
Immediately after, he brought up the interface of the technology tree and looked at the "Level 8 Technology" located at an extremely high position.
Sure enough, there was a lone lit piece of technology there, out of place with the gray patch around it.
【Celestial Veil Battleship】
[Technology Level: 8]
[Introduction: The full understanding and utilization of subspace can already make us no longer worry about the size and mass of the spacecraft.] Building a "super-battleship" that is actually large enough to cover a star system will be an interstellar spectacle of a new era, and any civilization will be impressed by it.]
[Possible technology: subspace giant construction project (0%); Creation Theory (0%); Veil Theory (0%)】
Subspace is a buffer zone between existence and positive matter and antimatter space.
It does not belong to space in the general sense, and physical theories in reality do not apply to it.
The giant battleship that obscured the entire sky used subspace-related technology.
According to the drawings in the database, the actual cross-sectional area of this giant battleship is larger than that of the solar system.
Such a sheer size and mass that it is not even possible to fully appear in the real universe, because the gravitational pull it generates is enough to destroy itself.
At this time, the "huge black curtain" that obscured the sky above the earth was actually only a very small part of its hull, not even 0.0001% of its total volume.
But even so, this Sky Veil battleship instantly convinced all the aliens.
As the introduction says, "Any civilization will be impressed".
"Although I have the drawings, 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 pre-technology required for the "Sky Veil Battleship" has not yet been unlocked, and its construction cost is also a terrifying number, he can't even imagine how the human race in the past built such a huge thing.
"Let's take a look at some of the unexpected functions of this 'Heavenly Curtain Battleship' first." Li Wenyuan looked at the relevant parameters with interest.
And those aliens are also engaged in heated discussions about this unknown creation that has obscured the sky.
"What do you think it would be?"
"Judging from the fact that this ruin was brought in after it was activated, it is most likely something that was once created by the lost civilization here."
"Could it be a cosmic creature?"
"Creatures? I don't think it's possible, after all this time, we haven't observed any movement in it, and I prefer that it is some undiscovered cosmic phenomenon. ”
"It's hard to say, when the macroscopic volume of living things reaches a certain level, the laws that we know may not be applicable to it. Would you think that a creature that big would need to consume plants or meat? ”
But cosmic phenomena are just as possible. Perhaps this 'shady' will be created after the ruins are activated, putting the entire planet in a state where it does not interact with the outside world. ”
"Actually, I agree that this is a cosmic phenomenon that has never been discovered." The young man who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke up, which also attracted everyone's attention.
"Our instrument didn't detect any suspicious signals, and in fact, one thing I've been concerned about ever since it came out was why there wasn't an anomalous gravitational pull here?"
The young man's eyes seemed to be glowing at this time, and a strong sense of confidence made him keep talking.
"Whether it's because it's big enough or because it's close enough here, its mass should have a huge impact on the planet."
"But what does gravity mean that it doesn't exist? It means that it has no mass, or very little mass! ”
"However, it does obscure the sky, and perhaps we should try to understand it as a cosmic phenomenon and study it as a basis."
The young man became more and more energetic, as if he was confident in his own theory, and even the professor couldn't help but nod his head, as if he agreed with his words.
But then, a shrill voice interrupted him:
"It's a good thing to be a theory, but don't be so confident. Our spacecraft is still a lesson from the past, maybe this shady curtain is an effect of technology that we can't understand? ”
The voice was familiar, but it creeped everyone.
"Fat, fat? Aren't you eaten by me—by that giant spider? The young man just wanted to blurt out, but he changed the second half of the sentence to information that everyone knew.
Most of the people didn't notice this, and were just amazed at the fat man's resurrection.
"It's not actually a giant spider - well, it does look similar, but if we look a little more, it's actually a large robot." The fat man did not react to the surprise of the crowd, but continued calmly:
"Inside that large robot is a storage chamber that it hung me up from a tree not long after you left, as if in an act of punishment."
"Then I managed to escape, and I chased it here through the traces you left behind. Why, I'm not welcome? ”
The fat man's explanation was so light that it was almost unbelievable.
But he was alive again at this time, which made it difficult for everyone to explain.
Strangely, they remembered their previous discussion about the function of the ruin, believing that it would bring the dead back to life.
So the fat man in front of him...... Is it someone who has risen from the dead?
Eventually, it was Cooper who spoke, "...... You're certainly welcome, but for some reason, I need to ask you a few questions that I can answer in order to get you back on the team. ”
"Oh~ Have you encountered some kind of monster that can imitate the appearance of others? But that's okay, just ask. ”
"First question, who am I?"
"You're Cowper."
"Second question, where is your home planet?"
"It's Karabol Closes."
There was nothing abnormal in the two questions in a row, and everyone's solemn expressions gradually relaxed, only Cooper frowned, no matter how he felt that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.
"Last question, what are we here for?"
"It's to explore the ruins recorded on your manuscript. How's that, okay? ”
The fat man, who answered all three questions perfectly, made everyone believe him for a while, and even Cooper had a relieved expression.
"Welcome back to the team, fatty, I thought I'd never see you again in my life."
"What happened to you is legendary, and if we can get out of here, I'm going to write a book for you!"
"That's it!"
Everyone sent more or less words of celebration, and Cooper was no exception.
"I'm glad you're safe, but we've had a lot of new doubts during this time...... Can you, biologist, help us (in Raborne)? ”
"Of course not (in Rabonne) ......"
At this moment, Cooper's pupils shrank sharply, stopping everyone and staring at the fat man nervously.
And the fat man also realized something, changed his language, and continued to say in the galactic lingua franca:
“…… There's no need to be so vigilant, can't I just learn one more foreign language in private? ”
“…… Of course, this is not a matter of learning one more foreign language," Cooper looked at the fat man with a solemn face, and said slowly:
"I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't have been exposed to the interstellar society in a long time."
"Rabon is notoriously difficult to learn in the interstellar world, and basically foreigners use synthesized sounds instead of pronouncing them when they need to use them."
“…… Hey, can you negate me? Somewhat biased. "Fatty" also looked at Cooper with curiosity on his face, trying to make a final struggle.
Cooper, on the other hand, continued after a brief pause:
"The pronunciation of Rabon requires a special kind of organ that only Rabon has. And our ship...... I'm the only one from Raborne. ”
