Chương 20: Tiangang Battleship

Biên tập viên: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[The ship blueprint has been entered]

[New technology has been added to the technology tree]

The database, which had always recorded data in an instant, took a long time this time. Li Wenyuan didn't hear the notification until the group of aliens had finished many rounds of discussions and even started recording what they had seen and heard.

Then, he pulled up the interface of the technology tree and looked at the "level 8 technology" which was at a very high position.

Sure enough, there was a sole lit-up technology there, which seemed out of place in the gray surroundings.

[Tiangang Battleship]

[Technology level: 8]

[Introduction: With sufficient knowledge and use of sub-space, we no longer have to worry about the size and mass of the spaceship. Building a super battleship that is large enough to cover an entire star system will become an interstellar wonder of the new era, and any civilization would be in awe of it.]

[Possible technology: Sub-space giant construction project (0%); theory of creation (0%); curtain theory (0%)]

Sub-space was a buffer zone that existed between the matter and anti-matter space.

It wasn't exactly "space" in the general sense, and physical theories didn't apply to it.

The giant battleship that was blocking the entire sky was using technology related to the sub-space.

According to the blueprint in the database, the actual cross-section area of this giant battleship was larger than the solar system.

Such a huge volume and mass made it impossible for the battleship to fully appear in reality, because the gravity it produced was enough to destroy itself.

In fact, the "huge black curtain" that was now covering the sky was actually only a very small part of the ship's body, not even 0.0001% of its total size.

But even so, the Tiangang Battleship still won over all the aliens in an instant.

Just as the introduction said, "any civilization would be in awe of it".

"Although I have the blueprint, I still can't build this thing..." Li Wenyuan didn't seem to be very happy that he had obtained a powerful level 8 technology.

This was because the prerequisite technology required for the Tiangang Battleship had not been unlocked, and the cost of making it was also a terrifying number. He could not even imagine how the humans in the past had built such a giant.

"Let's first see what kind of unexpected functions this Tiangang Battleship has," Li Wenyuan looked at the related parameters with great interest.

The aliens were also having a heated discussion about the unknown object that was covering the sky.

"What do you guys think that could be?"

"From the way it was attracted here after the ruin was activated, it's most likely something created by the lost civilization here."

"Could it be a cosmic lifeform?"

"A lifeform? I don't think it's possible. It's been so long, but we haven't observed any movement from it. I'm more inclined to believe that it's an undiscovered cosmic phenomenon."

"It's hard to say. When a creature's macroscopic size has reached a certain level, the laws we are familiar with may not apply to it. Do you really think that such a large creature would need to consume plants or meat?"

"But it's also possible to just be a cosmic phenomenon. Maybe after this ruin is activated, it will create a black curtain like this that will place the entire planet in a state where it doesn't interact with the outside world."

"To be honest, I'm also more inclined to think that this is an undiscovered cosmic phenomenon," The young man who had not spoken for a long time suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"Our equipment didn't detect any suspicious signals. In fact, ever since it appeared, I've been very concerned about one thing. Why isn't this place affected by abnormal gravity?"

The young man's eyes seemed to be shining at this moment, and a strong self-confidence made him speak with fervor and assurance.

"Whether it's because it's big enough or because it's close enough, its mass should have a huge impact on this planet. Yet gravity doesn't seem to work on it. What does that mean? It means that it has no mass, or rather, it has an extremely small mass! That being said, it is indeed covering the sky. Maybe we should try to understand it as a cosmic phenomenon and use it as a foundation for research.

The more the young man spoke, the more excited he became as if he was very confident in his theory. Even the professor couldn't help but nod as if he agreed with the other party's words.

But immediately after, an ear-piercing voice interrupted him, "It's indeed remarkable in theory, but don't be so confident. Our spaceships are a good example. Maybe this is an effect of some technology we can't understand?"

This voice was very familiar, but it made everyone's hair stand on end.

"F-fatty? Weren't you tripped... Eaten by that giant spider?" The young man was about to blurt out, but he changed the second half of the sentence to information that everyone knew.

Most of the others didn't notice his sudden change of words and were all shocked by fatty's resurrection.

"That was not actually a giant spider... Well, it does look similar, but if we pay more attention, we can actually see that it's a large robot," The fat man did not react to everyone's surprise.

He continued to speak calmly, "The inside of the large robot was a storage room. Not long after you left, it hung me on a tree as if to carry out some kind of punishment. After that, I found a way to escape and followed the traces you left behind here. What, am I not welcome?"

Fatty's explanation was rather understated, and almost everyone could not believe it.

But now, he had indeed appeared here alive and well, which made it difficult for everyone to find fault with his explanation.

Strangely, they remembered the previous discussion about the function of this ruin, which they believed was to resurrect the dead.

Then, could fatty be a person who had come back to life?

In the end, Cooper said, "Of course, we welcome you, but out of some circumstances, I need to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, then you can return to the team."

"Oh, did you guys encounter some kind of monster that can imitate other people's appearance? It doesn't matter, though, ask away then."

"First question, who am I?"

"You are Cooper."

"Second question, where is your home planet?"

"It's Calapor-mich Planet."

Fatty replied to the two consecutive questions with no abnormalities, and everyone's serious expressions gradually relaxed. Only Cooper frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.

"One last question. What is our purpose in coming here?"

"It's to explore the ruins recorded in your manuscript. How is it? Are you done?"

Fatty's perfect answers to all three questions made everyone believe him for the time being. Even Cooper had a relieved expression.

"Welcome back to the party, fatty. I thought I would never see you again in this life."

"Your experience is really legendary. If we can leave this place, I'll write a book for you!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Everyone more or less sent out similar words of celebration, and Cooper was no exception.

"I'm really happy that you're safe and sound, but we have a lot of new doubts during this period... (galactic lingua franca) As the biologist, can you help us (laborn)?"

"Of course... (laborn)"

At this moment, Cooper's pupils constricted. He stopped the crowd and stared at fatty nervously.

Fatty also realized something. He changed his language and continued to speak in the galactic lingua franca, "There's no need to be so cautious. Can't I learn another foreign language in private?"

"This is not just a matter of learning a foreign language," Cooper looked at the fat man with a serious expression and said slowly, "I don't know who you are, but you probably haven't been in contact with the interstellar society for a long time. The Laborn language is famous in interstellar space for being difficult to learn. Most of the time, when outsiders need to use it, they will use a synthetic voice instead of directly speaking it."

"...Hey, hey, are you going to deny my authenticity just like that? It's a little biased," Fatty looked at Cooper with a curious expression, trying to make a final struggle.

After a brief silence, Cooper continued, "The pronunciation of the Laborn language requires a special organ that only the Laborns have. And on our ship... I'm the only one from Laborn."
