Chapter 2: Curiosity
The ship of the Kuatepa Space Authority's Kos team flew at the speed of light and soon reached the vicinity of the galaxy of the former nemesis, the Celtic civilization.
Kos said: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, the ship is about to enter the Celtic system, in order to avoid being detected by the Celts, please activate the ship's stealth function."
Condon, who was piloting the ship, had always been strict with his team, immediately obeying the orders of Captain Kos, and instructed the assistant Mantis Man to adjust the ship's many functions.
While the ship was flying at high speed, Kos was chatting with the team in the cabin.
"On 150,000 Kwa days (Note: Due to the slow rotation of the planet Cuatpa, it takes exactly as long to make one revolution as it takes to orbit the parent star 10 times," Coase said. The Kerts waged a 9-day war against our Quartpa, once conquering our two outer planets and using their most formidable dark energy weapons, when we had no ability to defend against this weapon, and one of the planets in the system was destroyed, resulting in the extinction of a large number of Quatpas and Mantis people and 60,000 other lower creatures living on that planet, and we became a colony of the Kerrs. We were enslaved for a long time, and after several generations of hard work and effort, we finally defeated them by force to achieve the freedom and dignity we have now".
A surveyor took the initiative to talk to Kos due to fatigue: "What kind of creature are Celts?"
Kos replied: "The life forms of the Celts are completely different from ours. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are the basis of their life, close to our old enemies, the Tals, a rare species in the galaxy, their weakness is that they cannot process food, and each person needs to eat a large number of other creatures in their lifetime, so in some ways, the Celts are a harmful species.
The surveyor asked, "I would like to know about the current state of the Celtic civilization and the current relationship between the Celts and our Quartpa."
"The Quarter and Celtic civilizations are temporarily in a state of peaceful coexistence, but there is still a lack of trust between the two sides, because many misunderstandings between the two different civilizations are difficult to dispel when they come into contact," Coase said.
The surveyor asked, "What caused our fiasco at that time?"
Coase replied: "Since the Celtic scientists overcame the problem of spacecraft speed and successfully achieved faster-than-light flight, they have achieved communication with many other interstellar civilizations, advanced informatization is an important factor in promoting the progress of Celtic civilization, they have learned too much advanced technology from many other extraterrestrial civilizations, and once monopolized local interstellar trade and transportation, and the Celts have obtained too many resources to develop to their peak." At that time, our technology was very backward, and we couldn't even fly out of our own planet, and we didn't have any strength or opportunity to resist their invasion."
The surveyor asked: "What is the condition of the Celts?" Do they rule over other civilizations?
Coase replied: "The comprehensive strength of the Celtic civilization was once among the best in the galaxy, and now it has been surpassed by many civilizations, and they still rule several weak alien civilizations, compared with us militarily, they are obviously not superior, but the Keric civilization is still a powerful civilization, mainly reflected in their transformation and use of gaseous planets."
During the small talk between Kos and the team, Condon was able to hear it clearly while he was piloting the spaceship, and aroused the young Condon's curiosity about the Celtic system, so Condon decided to take advantage of this opportunity to get a good peek into the Celtic system. With a kind of luck, he opened some of the observation instruments and decided to take a good peek at the upcoming legendary Celtic system.
Coase suggested that the team sleep for a while and leave Condon alone to control the ship. Contenley vaguely saw the legendary Celtic system through the optical instrument, so the excited Condon failed to heed the reminder of the captain Coase, in order to be able to better observe the Celtic planet, Conton turned on the optical instrument and the radio wave instrument at the same time, and peeped at the Celtic planet. Suddenly, the ship's alarm system sounded an alarm, and the sleeping team members were awakened, and it turned out that when Condon turned on the radio wave equipment, the strong electromagnetic waves emitted were detected by the Celtic Border Patrol soldiers. When the Celtic soldiers fired a quantum radar at the Kos team's spacecraft to track, the quantum radar wave triggered the sirens on the Kos team's spacecraft.
Kos immediately rushed to the cockpit: "What's going on"? Condon didn't have time to turn off all the equipment before it was discovered by Koss. Condon realized that he had made a mistake and apologized in time: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I really can't control my curiosity, I just want to see the real planet Celtic".
Kos immediately activated all the stealth functions of the spaceship but it was too late, the Celtic soldiers had already launched an attack on their spaceship, and at the moment when the Celt soldiers shot a beam of dark energy microwave towards the ship that the Kos team was on, a praying mantis man happened to turn on the anti-dark energy microwave system, and successfully intercepted and absorbed the dark energy microwave emitted by the Celt soldiers, and the team escaped......
The Queen of Celt resides on the fifth planet of the Celtic system, and the total population of 20 billion people, including those living on three moons. On the Neptune-like gaseous planet of the solar system where the Queen of Celt lived, most of the life was floating in the thick atmosphere and thrived. The evolutionary mimicry of the Celts is very remarkable, with two forelimbs between the fins and the wings of birds, and the hind limbs of sea lions, which are especially suitable for floating in the thick atmosphere, and can also be mobile on land, their heads, especially the eyes, are exactly the same as those of earthlings, and their eyes also see objects through visible light.
They are accustomed to building their dwellings in special areas at an altitude of 100 kilometers above the earth's surface, where the density and pressure of the atmosphere are most suitable for their survival, and most of their social activities are carried out in the thick layers of the atmosphere. Residents can drive airships or swim in the thick atmosphere on foot. Most of the food comes from a variety of organisms that grow floating in the atmosphere. The life of the entire planet is as diverse as that of Earth.
At the Queen's palace, an intelligence officer walked up to the Queen with an elegant gesture: "Report to Her Majesty that a UFO has appeared on the border of our galaxy".
The queen said, "Please describe the specifics".
Informant: "About a light-second away from the outermost part of our galaxy, a regular polygonal spaceship appeared, most of the materials in the spacecraft were positive material components, there were biological signs in the center of the spacecraft, our soldiers tried to communicate with them in the interstellar language, but the other party ignored them, but insisted on moving on, when our soldiers decided to attack it according to the military rules and regulations of the Celts, the dark energy microwave we emitted was actually intercepted by the other party, and then the spaceship suddenly disappeared"......
Queen Celt was stunned, and the assistant beside the queen said: "It should be the ship of the Quartpa, as far as some alien civilizations in the vicinity are concerned, there is no civilization that has such advanced scientific and technological power so far."
"It is impossible for the people of Quadpa to be so arrogant, let alone to use the Positive Matter Instrument to spy on us, to tell the border patrol soldiers, to be on guard against the invasion of our galaxy," the queen said........
