Chapter 1 The universe is not peaceful, the universe is dark
In the deep and endless sky, the blue star is like a lonely lighthouse, shining in the dark, when the sun's rays shine on her, you can see the turquoise waters and lush green meadows, when the sun's rays disappear, the little glow shining on the blue star gathers, becoming the most brilliant color of the whole night.
But now, not far from the blue star, a tiny luminous sphere is flying at an extremely high speed.
Its orbit does not have any deflection and the target is the Blue Star.
National Space Administration of Country X.
Countless staff members were busy, and many of our scientists stood in front of the observation screen, looking at an image sent back by the satellite, which was a record of the flight of the ball of light.
It doesn't have any mass, because when it pierces the night sky, it doesn't even emit any traces behind it, such as the tail of a comet.
It looks like it's just a beam of light, but why is the light spherical?
"We tried to shatter it with a laser, but the laser penetrated its body so easily, it has no substance, sir!"
The subordinate is reporting on the current interception.
It's a pity that no matter what means are used, this ball of light can't be stopped.
Strictly speaking, scientists in country X had discovered this ball of light a few weeks ago.
And it was also discovered that its target was the Blue Star.
So they used a lot of methods to try to shatter the ball of light when it hit the blue star, and it was okay to treat it as a glowing meteorite, but it was obviously not that simple.
Neither laser weapons, particle beam weapons, nor any microwave weapons can do any damage to the orb of light, not even the slightest block.
"Probably, it's just a beam of light from God, haha!" One of the officers laughed.
But the atmosphere was very weird, everyone looked at him with stupid eyes, and he could only smile awkwardly.
At this time, someone began to broadcast: "The photosphere is close to the blue star, is passing through the atmosphere, the estimated landing site is 38.913611 degrees north latitude, 77.013222 degrees west longitude, Sarko City, the estimated landing time is 20 minutes later, ready for impact!" β
The quiet city of Sarco, it's early hours of the morning, and the whole city is still surrounded by silence.
The city has not woken up.
The light has not yet come.
But the first light has already come.
A blazing ball of light appeared in the sky, and as it pierced through the atmosphere, it showed no traces of burning, as it had no substance, and then landed rapidly.
On the most famous Kinmass Bridge in Sarko City, countless soldiers rushed over, lined up on both sides, and then began to set up heavy machine guns and rocket artillery, they blocked the entire bridge, began to close the bridge, military vehicles drove in, and at least 11 Black Hawk gunships were suspended in the sky.
Everyone was looking up and waiting.
Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in the clouds and descended instantly.
βFireοΌβ Countless bullets and shells flew up the moment the ball of light fell, like the city had just started a war!
But something weird happened.
The explosions and bullets easily penetrated the body of the ball of light, and the flames of the explosion were like fireworks in the city of Sarco in the early morning.
The ball of light landed at a rapid pace, and then hovered quietly over the river next to the Kinmass Bridge.
Boom Boom!
Bang bang bang!
Countless bullets and shells are still being fired.
But these bullets and shells have no way to cause any damage to the ball of light.
The ball of light, just hovering quietly.
"Ceasefire!" The commander shouted.
The fire stopped, and everyone stared at the ball of light, but it still didn't move.
The soldiers looked left and right, not knowing what to do next, not to mention the soldiers, even the commander, they were confused, now this situation, unprecedented, what to do?
The residents of Sarko City, who were awakened by the sound of gunfire, rushed to the edge of the Kinmas Bridge, looked at the dazzling ball of light, were shocked, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
"Hell, this is definitely aliens! I've never seen anything like it. β
"I think it's very beautiful, it looks more like God's instructions to mankind, it's a God's toy."
"Maybe there's a message from God in it!"
The chattering noise was all muffled by the soldiers on both sides of the Kinmass Bridge.
In the next few days, the entire Internet was filled with this ball of light, and countless people filmed and uploaded the video online, and the Internet also set off a craze for extraterrestrial creatures to visit.
"These guys are so rude, this ball of light may be a friendship signal fired by an alien friend, how can it be greeted with artillery and bullets! These damn reckless people! β
"Stupid? A stranger came to your house without a word, not to you, but to drink old wine with you? β
"The stupidity of the citizens of Country X shocked the whole world!"
In the next period of time, the people of the National Academy of Sciences, the Space Administration, and the Military Department of Country X took turns to investigate this ball of light, but without exception, none of them gained anything.
No signal can be detected from its surface or interior.
All testing is in vain.
But it was obviously suspended there, and if it was too close, it could feel the scorching heat, like the sun, and if it had no substance, then where did the scorching heat come from?
All this leaves scientists dumbfounded and goes against their scientific knowings.
Of course, this information was also transmitted back to Wuzhou, and Athena showed all the information to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao looked at it for a long time, and then said, "You mean, it has no entity, but it can feel the emission of heat, and it looks like photon energy, but it can't detect any signals?" β
Athena replied in a cold voice: "Yes, master, you are right. β
Li Xiao furrowed his eyebrows, this was indeed a violation of the laws of physics.
But it's not that simple.
Putting aside scientific logic, just talking about his inner feelings, what Li Xiao felt was arrogance and contempt.
Imagine if humans discovered an extraterritorial civilization, but the inhabitants were still in a very primitive agricultural era, and their inhabitants were not people, but ants, ants that could easily be trampled to death, and at this time, humans launched a spaceship.
For those civilizations of the agrarian era, a spaceship that could levitate in the air was an incomprehensible existence.
And now, this situation has arisen.
This ball of light violates the laws of physics and people's scientific cognition.
But that's exactly what happened.
What Li Xiao felt was arrogance and contempt, arrogance and contempt for the human race.
He had read a book before, which was about a tablet put by an alien civilization, towering on the blue star, no matter how human technology developed, such as what means were used to detect it, the measured length and width ratio of the tablet was 3:1, 100% accurate 3:1 and indestructible, other than that, it had no reaction.
But in a way, that's contempt.
From the perspective of a high-ranking person looking at a low-ranking person, I will give you a stone, no matter how civilized your technology is, you will not be able to escape the laws and shackles I have set.
Shaking his head and shaking off many distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Xiao said, "Help me contact the three teachers and Mr. Gao Shan, our progress is going to speed up." β
Athena said, "Okay, I'm in contact with you, master, you seem worried?" β
Li Xiao said: "Athena, teach you a sentence: the rain can never wet the person who brings an umbrella in advance." β
