Chapter 1130: Unknown Civilisation

ng Tian’s finger gently moved and a transport route map appeared. According to the energy rating, it clearly showed signs of danger. “This barren planet should be filled with life reactions. Of course, due to physical phenona, there could be errors. But everyone, look at the light blue ripple.”
Everyone in the eting room wrinkled their eyebrows. The light blue ripple seemingly should not appear here.
“I’m not sure if everyone rembers the KPO237 interstellar incident,” ng Tian ntioned, and instantly, everyone in the room sat up straight.
“What you an is that everything before us is an illusion?” Lieutenant General Hobb remarked in a sunken voice.
“Too many incidental factors are inevitable. I think that what we see in front of us is an illusion. When this kind of light blue energy wave appears, it suggests that the planet that we see is two-dinsional, not three-dinsional!”
ng Tian firmly stated. The dinsions of the universe was a feat that humans had yet to be able to get to the bottom of, but it could be certain that the general physical range was three-dinsional. However, a two-dinsional object, a flat planet, had appeared in space, which implied that everything in front of their eyes was a setting!
But this setting was disguised highly realistically.
Having said that, everyone in the room stayed quiet and just stared at the energy display. It was very, very realistic, which ant that there was one possibility, but it was not absolute.
“ng Tian, you can voice out your opinion,” Hobb said.
“Yes, General. I believe that what we are facing is an illusion. The other party is an intelligent lifeform who has grasp more advanced technology than us. It could be humans or other civilisations. My personal judgent is that they have an enmity against us, as this sort of concealed habits and confusion is targeted towards us humans. I personally advocate that we do not miss this opportunity. Another connotation for exploration is taking risks. Once we miss this opportunity, it could possibly result in greater hidden dangers for the Milky Way Alliance, and we do not know yet if our comrades are still alive or dead. I am willing to be in the frontier!” ng Tian said.
Everyone was debating aplenty, discussing the possibility of this. This ant that sixty percent of them still felt that ng Tian was being ridiculous, but the other forty percent was supportive. The Milky Way Alliance’s exploration knowledge range was already very broad and the possibility of an unknown civilisation was very low, not to ntion a foreign human civilisation. And the energy display could also have errors, so this solitary death planet could be a dead planet clouding the space reef.
Experienced captains generally would not take such risks. This unreliable factor was definitely not only picked up by ng Tian alone, it was just that everyone opted to be safe. But this also missed the aning of exploration. Humans innately had already lost the adventurous spirit in those days of interstellar voyaging.
Lieutenant General Hobb, however, had other considerations. Under such situations with doubts, he could not give up and ignore the two missing ships.
Finally, as the highest ranking commander, Hobb, who should have remained neutral, stated his stand that he supported ng Tian’s speech.
The Milky Way Alliance exploration fleet was split into three units.
ng Tian was arranged to the first unit, a frontier team consisting of three convoy ships, which will follow her line of thought to close in on the planet.
The second unit would be the reinforcent team, providing the three convoy ships all the support they require at any ti.
The third unit was the safeguard team, which would consist of the fleet’s two motherships as its core. The aning of safeguarding in this case was to survive regardless of what happened. The third unit warship’s mission this ti was to break through and relay information back to the Milky Way Alliance at once should they encounter unpredictable danger!
It was obvious, with such an arrangent, that Hobb deep down also agreed with ng Tian’s judgent and planned for the worst.
ng Tian’s No.12 ship flew in front, and the other two frontier ships, the No.7 and No.11 ships, followed behind.
“Arrived at destination.”
The frontier team’s task was not to imdiately carry out search and rescue, but to grasp control of the solar system preemptively and set up a sentinel defense line to prepare a safe and secure solar system environnt for the reinforcent spaceship that would co in next.
Of course, at the sa ti, they were inquiring directions by throwing stones. Once danger occured...
They could effectively gain the safety of an entire fleet for a small price.
The three warships slowly slowed down and started a safety assessnt around the solar system.
Sleek spaceships and space cha rushed out of the warship one by one, taking control of the solar system’s surroundings.
Psst.
The display in front of ng Tian gently flashed.
The other two warship captains relayed their ssages.
“Captain ng Tian, judging from the current situation, we did not discover any source of danger from other coordinate positions in the solar system.”
“There is only one coordinate left, the MG17A Death Planet. The exploration ship reported that spatial turbulence was detected in the coordinate positions. It could be the violent movents from the space collapse.”
What the two captains were implying was to carry out defense against the MG17A Death Planet, and not to take the risk and advance.
The gist of the frontier team was not to advance bravely without a plan, but to reach the goal. Just by looking at the current situation, there was no need to enter the death planet surrounded by spatial turbulence. The space collapse activity was akin to tide water, with monts of rise and fall.
“If you have no opinions, we would assu a one line battle array”
“Both captains, I have a different opinion.”
ng Tian gave a glance at the planetary image displayed on the viewfinder window.
When observing from the space telescope, the ice scrap tracks spurned by the spatial turbulence could be seen with the naked eye. “What a beautiful picture.”
“What?”
“Captain ng Tian, please keep in mind that you are the captain and you are responsible for the entire warship.”
Both captains were visibly dissatisfied. ng Tian’s remark at the captains’ eting did indeed did make them grow admiration for her.
But this did not an that she would be able to lead the frontier team this ti.
After all, she was only a student with aspirations, rely just a substitute captain.
If it were not for their prior admiration, they would not have asked for her opinion and would have just directly stated what should be done instead.
ng Tian, however, did not pay heed to them. Her eyes stared fixedly on the planetary image. Now she was certain that everything in front of their eyes was definitely an illusion. If it was energy leakage caused by the space collapse, it would undoubtedly not show such patterns. This was absolutely a sign of life!
“All comrades, get ready for battle. Aim the main ship gun accurately at the MG17A Death Planet and shoot in fifteen seconds ti, counting down from now!”
As the captain, ng Tian held the decision-making power. This is the ti for her to test out her judgent.
If it were a two-dinsional illusion, the planet could not possibly move by itself. This was its breaking point. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, it would be made known once a shot was made. Sotis, concrete actions were more effective than thinking too much.
Boom... A laser shot blasted off as everyone in the rest of the warships quietly waited.
The whole space shook, and imdiately after, everything in front of their eyes cracked, shattering like a mirror. The death planet disappeared, and replacing it was a vibrant planet!
“Imdiately undergo scanning!” ng Tian suppressed the excitent in her heart as she issued the command right away.
When the planetary landscape appeared on the display, everyone was stunned by what they saw. In this unknown solar system, there was actually...
Right at this mont, a chain of ripples appeared all around space.
Buzz!
In a flash, white rays blossod one at a ti like fresh flowers in the midst of the void. The entire fleet was brought to a standstill under the radiance, and all the engines stopped working.
The Milky Way Alliance Headquarters received only the exploration team’s S.O.S and an image before the entire exploration team completely vanished from the universe.
