Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Chen Yu stared in disbelief at the table, at a pile of yellow stuff, as viscous as feces.

Is this really the captain's meal? Is this the delicious food of you aliens?

Chen Yu was utterly speechless, and he pointed at the AI robot and began to curse.

"AI, I think you're a moron. Haven't you studied what human feces look like? Can you honestly look at this stuff and say it's edible?"

The AI robot swayed back and forth on the ceiling, clearly staggered by the scolding.

[Captain, I'm truly sorry, it's all my fault, but this is the best food on the ship.]

[I'll rearrange it and make you a portion of food suitable for Earthlings, which will contain all the nutrients you need.]

Before long, a slightly lighter-colored pile of "poop" was placed in front of Chen Yu.

Now Chen Yu understood that the so-called delicacies of the aliens were all things that looked like feces.

Their technology is so advanced, but their material life is so lacking, they can only eat this kind of thing. It's better to be a human on Earth.

Chen Yu looked at the pasty substance and picked up something that looked like a spoon next to it, scooping a spoonful into his mouth.

Chen Yu frowned and chewed, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

The texture was like red bean paste, but the taste was not bad. It actually had the taste of papaya and banana.

Seeing Chen Yu's brow relax, the AI robot issued a mechanical sound at the right time.

[Captain, the taste is good, right? According to the tastes you Earthlings like, I simulated the taste of various fruits according to a certain ratio of elements.]

Chen Yu suddenly realized that it was not an illusion that he tasted the fruit.

"Well, not bad. Next time, simulate donkey burgers, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and tomato beef brisket!"

[Captain, currently we can only simulate a few fruit flavors. Other complex flavors cannot be simulated for the time being, because human taste is too complicated, and even our advanced civilizations may not be able to simulate it successfully.]

"Okay, having a fruit flavor is not bad, at least it can solve the problem of food and clothing in an emergency."

Chen Yu picked up the pot of elemental food and ate it spoonful by spoonful like eating ice cream.

After eating a pot of elemental food made by aliens, Chen Yu felt extremely comfortable in his stomach.

"Hey, AI, this stuff is actually quite comfortable for the stomach."

[That's for sure. The special food I prepared for you contains all the nutrients you need and is very beneficial for your human absorption.]

"Not bad, not bad, so how much of this stuff is there?"

[Enough for the captain to eat for hundreds of years.]

Chen Yu was speechless. Although this stuff is nutritious, there are too few flavors. If it can't simulate more delicacies.

He would still rather eat the rich and colorful delicacies of Earth.

Chen Yu returned to the main control room, looking at the rapidly changing stars outside the glass, he was deeply moved.

He never thought that just a few hours ago, he was still a failure who couldn't afford a mortgage and was crushed by life.

Now he has become the captain of an alien spaceship and is about to go to Mars to mine gold.

Can you imagine such a magical thing? Even writing novels wouldn't be so far-fetched.

After more than ten hours of flight, Chen Yu had already lay down on the seat.

The chair, which could change size, had turned into a flat and comfortable big bed.

[Captain, Captain, wake up!]

Chen Yu woke up from his sleep.

"AI, what are you calling me for? Have we arrived at our destination?"

[Master, we are about to reach the asteroid belt, but before that, we will pass by Mars. Do you need to observe it?]

Chen Yu immediately became interested, controlled the bed under his butt to turn back into a seat, and moved to the glass of the command room.

"Where is Mars? Take me to see it quickly?"

Thinking that my country successfully landed a Mars probe in 2021, which caused a sensation at the time.

I didn't expect that I would fly to Mars in less than a day.

A coordinate appeared on the glass, and Chen Yu looked towards that coordinate and was instantly shocked.

I saw a red planet under that coordinate, getting bigger and bigger.

I used to only see photos of Mars on TV, but now I can see it so close, Chen Yu felt extremely shocked.

Chen Yu took out his mobile phone from his backpack, then turned on the camera and snapped pictures non-stop.

If the astronomers on Earth saw these photos, they would definitely be shocked and faint.

Chen Yu looked at this huge planet and felt the beauty of the universe and starry sky.

After being excited for a while, Mars gradually became smaller and farther away.

"AI, how long will it take us to reach the asteroid belt?"

[About half an hour.]

"Okay!"

Chen Yu couldn't wait to see what the asteroid made of gold looked like.

Will it emit a golden light? Just thinking about it is so exciting.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Chen Yu could already see things similar to meteorites densely packed in front of the glass.

[Captain, we have reached the asteroid belt. Immediately start the asteroid element detection scan.]

"Okay."

The spaceship's detection system emitted a beam that could penetrate the asteroid.

Before long, the AI analyzed the composition of tens of thousands of asteroids ahead.

[Captain, this area ahead has 30,000 asteroids. The one with the highest gold content is 10,000 kilometers away from us. Shall we go?]

Chen Yu looked at the densely packed asteroids in front of him and frowned and asked:

"AI, I heard that spaceships in outer space are most afraid of hitting these asteroids or meteorites. Will it be dangerous for us to rashly fly in?"

[Captain, you don't have to worry about this. This spaceship is a product of advanced cosmic civilization and must have considered the situation of meteorite impact.]

[The spaceship will monitor the meteorites ahead in real time and automatically turn on the protective shield. Even if the protective shield is not turned on, the current meteorites are not enough to pose a threat to the ship's hard shell.]

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of advanced civilization technology, it's awesome!

"Okay, let's go mine gold!"

The AI controlled the No. 1 spaceship and flew towards the golden asteroid.

The distance of ten thousand kilometers was quickly reached.

The No. 1 spaceship stopped more than a hundred kilometers away from the asteroid.

Seeing this asteroid up close, Chen Yu was dumbfounded. This so-called asteroid looks bigger than a city from close range.

Chen Yu thought in advance that this asteroid would emit golden light, but he didn't expect that when he got closer, it was dark and looked like a super huge rock.

"AI, what are we going to do? Could it be that we tie a rope to this planet and drag it to Earth?"

[Captain, I can calculate what angle to apply a force to this asteroid so that it will hit the Earth in a few months.]

"Uh, forget it, wouldn't that be causing trouble for my Earth compatriots? Hurry up and arrange the mining, and go back to Earth quickly after it's done."

Chen Yu sighed that it was a close call, and he almost destroyed the Earth.

[Okay, Captain, I will send out the mining robots and transport ships.]
