Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 22 Ether Dragon

Strictly speaking, the scientific research ship in this galaxy has not been explored much because it was caught in bubbles as soon as it entered.

Then the headquarters issued an order to keep the research bubble in place.

At this time, while the scientific research ship was following the bubble, it used various sensors to scan the passing stars and planets.

I don’t know if I don’t scan it, but after scanning it, it turns out that this is a super-rich star system.

There are nearly 40 units of mineral resources, 20 units of energy resources, and even rare resources of alien natural gas. These are all good things.

As the scientific research ship followed the bubble all the way deeper into the star system, more and more resources were discovered around it. There was no doubt that this was an incredibly rich star system.

It can even be said to be an important strategic location.

Because this star system itself is also a key node of multiple hyperspace lanes.

"Look what is that?"

With a shout from an observer in the command room, everyone's eyes focused there.

On a huge space creature in an unknown universe thousands of miles away.

"It's unbelievable. It's so far away but it still looks so big. Calculating the proportions, this is hundreds of times larger than the largest battleship we imagined. Is this really a creature that can be born naturally in the universe?"

"Yes, there is no constraint of gravity in space. If it can withstand the extreme environment here, then there will be no limit to its growth. If I guessed correctly, this is very likely not his final size, and he will still grow. of."

Chen Xiaomeng also looked shocked, but still reasoned calmly.

Unlike everyone's shock, which was mixed with fear, Wang Xueer next to her was extremely excited.

She added: "This is the charm of space creatures! He can grow almost infinitely huge! Look, Bubbles is about to take us to the place where he buried the treasure."

Compared with the huge creature in front of him, Bubble's body in space is like an ant. It is flapping its fleshy tentacles and trying to move forward.

"Anomalies found."

Finally, the sensors on the scientific research ship detected information about the super huge creature on the opposite side.

You must know that the detection distance of this sensor is very far, but even at such a long detection distance, the opponent can still show such a huge figure in everyone's eyes.

It is really unimaginable that when a scientific research ship gets close to the other side, how insignificant will our own side be?

Maybe at that time, he was really worse than an ant.

The huge creature occupying the center of the entire universe seemed to sense that something had detected its own information, its eyelids moved, and it slowly opened its eyes.

At the moment when it opens its eyes, people can see its whole picture clearly.

This is a huge dragon-shaped creature, but it has no claws and only two huge wings.

But it's more like a snake with wings than a giant dragon with wings.

"Start the hyperdrive!"

Upon hearing this order, everyone was stunned for a moment.

The person who issued this order was not Captain Su Lixuan, but Qin Xu, who had always been unknown.

Someone in the command room looked at Qin Xu doubtfully, "Do you know what the consequences of starting the hyperlight engine will be?"

"I know you are afraid of it, but the super-high-speed engine can't be used in non-emergency situations. Because once you fly, you don't know how many years will be in the future. We will directly travel through time and go to the future more than ten years later!"

"Start the hyperdrive, Lieutenant Su Lixuan believes in him!"

This sentence was said by Chen Xiaomeng.

Although Chen Xiaomeng knew that Qin Xu had always been a bit clumsy and had no knowledge of aerospace, she knew one thing better: everything Qin Xu did had a reason.If he hadn't been absolutely sure, he would never have spoken so categorically and beyond doubt as he did now.

Despite Chen Xiaomeng's endorsement, Su Lixuan still did not immediately make up his mind to start the hyperdrive.

The consequences after activation are really too serious.

After flying out, at least 15 years will be gone. Sitting on the spacecraft, they may only feel that time has passed for more than ten days, or even a few months.

However, in fact, at least 15 years have passed in the outside world.

This is equivalent to the United Nations on Earth losing direct contact with them for 15 years, and also losing the right to use this spacecraft for 15 years.

The consequences of this were too serious, and it was really difficult for him to make such a determination.

What's more important is that Su Lixuan looked at the huge space creature in front of him and seemed to have no intention of attacking them. Do he really want to escape now?
Or wouldn't it be okay to just slowly move backwards and away from it without using the hyperdrive?
After all, the two sides are still so far apart.

Su Lixuan stood straight on the spot, with a very tangled expression on his face.

He also knew that Qin Xu had saved them several times. No matter what the reason was, Qin Xu's words still held great weight.

Just when Su Lixuan was about to order the scientific research ship not to start the hyperlight engine and only retreat at the highest conventional speed.

Qin Xu couldn't wait any longer, and he ordered with no doubt: "550A, as an officer of the Space Force, I order you to start the hyperlight engine, immediately!"

"The hyperdrive is activated."

As the cold electronic sound of 550A sounded, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then a huge flame ball in front of the huge glass of the scientific research ship rushed towards them head-on.

This is not a flame, this is a high-intensity ion cluster. It is hitting the command glass of the scientific research ship at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

"what!"

At this moment, the scientific research ship tilted severely. Everyone was staggered by the force and fell to the ground.

In the next second, the superluminal engine of the research ship started, and the hull of the research ship flashed, disappearing into the universe in a flash.

"Warning, lost contact with the research ship Mozi. Warning lost contact with the research ship Mozi."

In the human deep space fleet command center on Earth, there were only six scientific research ships in total. They immediately raised the alarm after losing contact with one scientific research ship.

The originally calm command center suddenly became noisy, and everyone was extremely busy trying to find out the situation.

"Reporting that the research ship Mozi has entered a super-light voyage, and we have lost contact with them."

"How long do you expect to be back?"

"20 years later..."

"boom!"

The commander-in-chief of the human deep space fleet slammed the table, and the people underneath were startled.

After a while, he slowly calmed down and took a deep breath, "I don't know what happened to them, but they should also be very aware of the consequences of using a hyperdrive."

"Commander-in-chief..."

The soldier wanted to say something to comfort the commander in chief, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

　Starting today, the update time will be officially changed to Chapter 9 at 12:[-] am and Chapter [-] at [-]:[-] noon.There will be another chapter in a while, two updates per day.
