The Exploration was flying at sub-light speed in the vast space. The huge hull reflected the metallic luster under the starlight.
This spaceship that came from Earth had already flown billions of light-years in the past hundred years. It had explored hundreds of galaxies, visited billions of planets, drawn detailed galactic navigation marks along the way, and surveyed the resources of all the planets it passed by. At the same time, it had found six types of humans in the universe and made preliminary contact with them.
Although interstellar travel was a novel experience, and the resplendent starry sky was refreshing, it was also full of risks. " The Exploration " was indeed the crystallization of the latest technology of the Earthlings. It gave the crew comprehensive protection to prevent humans from being harmed. Moreover, the ship's mainframe, the highly intelligent computer " Eros ", could also warn of natural disasters in advance and propose the correct response plan in the shortest time possible. All of this allowed the " Exploration " to travel all the way without any danger.
At this moment, the Explorer was traveling in a galaxy that the crew named the Big Butterfly five billion light-years away from Earth. It had been conducting the survey and surveying work. The " God of Love " was automatically paying close attention to all the celestial bodies within a radius of ten million kilometers through the onboard instruments.
At this time, since the main work was done by the Main God computer, the other work on the ship was also handled by the highly intelligent robots. As long as there was one human on duty in the main control room to deal with sudden emergencies, the others could rest at will. Therefore, this was also the most relaxing time for human sailors.
In the crew lounge, Lu Yunrui was sparring with the robot " Golden Guard No. 1."
There weren't many real human crew members on the Exploration. There were only Captain Lu Yunrui, confidential officer Ye Lei, medical officer Ishana, crew member Morgan, and Reylitt. There were 5000 robots serving on the ship, divided into five teams of 1000 people each. They were called the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Guard Teams, each led by a robot. The name of the robot was composed of the name of the team and the number. The smaller the number, the stronger the performance of the robot.
These robots were the latest generation of products after countless upgrades. Not only did they have the same appearance as humans, but they also had a high degree of intelligence and could use programs to make inferences and judgments. People who were not familiar with them would not be able to differentiate them from humans. However, in order to prevent the robots from backfiring on humans, the robots were loaded with specific programs when they left the factory. They were not allowed to hurt humans for no reason, or they would cause self-destruction. At the same time, in order to prevent some ambitious people from having any ideas about robots, the robot's command reception was also set to a level. When the higher-level command and the lower-level command conflicted, the robot would prioritize obeying and executing the higher-level command.
For a long time, due to the psychological fear of nuclear war, ancient martial arts had once again revived. The government also spent a lot of effort to collect and organize ancient martial arts books. This information was stored in the memory unit of the God of God's computer. The shadow of ancient martial arts could also be seen on these new generation robots. This also allowed these robots to engage in production activities when they were free, and when they were in battle, they could become soldiers and participate in war. All along, robots had accompanied humans for countless years, becoming their best helpers and partners, and also their most loyal servants.
In the middle of the arena, Lu Yunrui and Golden Guard No. 1 were fighting fervently. Ye Lei, Ishana, and Lei Liting were cheering loudly for the two of them. The other four robot commanders were watching quietly with smiles on their faces.
The two sides were fighting fiercely when suddenly, the voice of "God of Love" came from the broadcast speakers on the ship."All crew members (humans), please come to the control room immediately. There's an emergency! I repeat: All crew members, please come to the control room immediately. There is an emergency!”
Lu Yunrui and Golden Guard No. 1 immediately stopped when they heard the sound. Lu Yunrui looked at the five robot commanders and said in a deep voice,""All teams, assemble and await orders!”
"Yes, sir!" The five commanders replied and turned to leave the room.
Lu Yunrui glanced at the remaining people and did not say anything. He just led the way out of the room and hurried toward the control room. The others immediately followed suit.
As soon as they entered the control room, Morgan immediately greeted them."The communication device we placed in the anti-space, the one closest to us, suddenly lost its signal two minutes ago. At the same time, a fleet of about ten unknown ships is flying over from behind us. They probably destroyed our communication device. The rest of the situation was unknown for the time being and needed further investigation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could say anything, a bright light flashed in the sky outside the spaceship, and ten spaceships appeared.
"Activate the protective shield! Immediately send a signal to the other party without interruption. Try to get in touch with the other party as soon as possible!”Lu Yunrui gave the order as he quickly walked to the porthole to carefully observe the other party's spaceship and formation.
Upon hearing the order, Ye Lei immediately left the control room and went to the communication cabin next door to send the signal. The others walked to Lu Yunrui's side and looked outside.
He saw that there were ten spaceships around the Exploration, which were divided into six directions: up, down, left, right, front, and back. They formed a vague encirclement and slowly approached him from afar. Out of the ten spaceships, nine of them were around 700 meters long, equivalent to Earth's cruiser class spaceships. One of them was about 1000 meters long and was equivalent to a battleship on Earth. It seemed to be the command ship of this fleet.
At this moment, the voice of the God of Love sounded.""I've finished scanning the enemy's hull. Everyone, please look at the screen!"
Immediately, a standing creature appeared on the screen. It was shaped like a lizard with a thick tail behind it. Its entire body was covered in scales and was blue in color.
"This is the opponent's physical form. Each cruiser had 1500 passengers, while the battleships had 2000.”
Then, the image changed and a blueprint of the spaceship appeared.
"This is the blueprint of the enemy ship. The red dots on the map are the critical parts of the ship. For some reason, I felt a strong sense of hostility from those creatures. It was very likely that they would attack us. However, according to the data we obtained, their spaceship is not as advanced as ours, or even slightly inferior. "If we really fight, although they have more numbers than us, we might not be at a disadvantage.”
Lu Yunrui pondered for a moment, then swept his gaze across everyone's faces.""We represent the people of Earth and carry the mission of peace. If possible, we should try our best to avoid a military conflict with the other party. What does everyone think?"
"Agreed! It's best if you don't fight!" Ishana was the first to express her opinion.
"Of course, it's good that we don't fight. However, this seemed to depend on the other party's attitude. If the other party insists on fighting, we can't just take a beating and not fight back, right?”Morgan expressed his thoughts as he agreed.
"Humph!" Lei Liting snorted coldly. Don't look at it as ten to one. If they really fought, they might not be a match!”
"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Lu Yunrui reminded him," After all, we don't really understand the capabilities of the other party's spaceships. Although we are a mothership-class while they only have a battleship-class, and the rest are cruiser-class, we still have to be on guard against any killing moves from the other party. However, according to the God of Love, their spaceship is not more advanced than ours. This is something worth considering and making use of. Of course, even though they have more ships than us, they are not on the same level as us. The other party isn't a fool. I don't think they'll start a war lightly. At most, they'll just put on an act. Otherwise, they won't be bullying us, but being trampled by us.”
Hearing Lu Yunrui's words, everyone could not help but laugh.
"Alright, let's be a little aggrieved first. Before we get in touch with the other party, try to exercise restraint!”Lu Yunrui turned on the communication switch that led to the communication room and instructed Ye Lei,""Ye Lei, when you send the signal to the other party, you have to keep contacting the headquarters and see if you can restore contact with the headquarters. If you can contact them, report our situation to the headquarters!”
Ye Lei immediately responded.
Lu Yunrui walked to the control panel and turned on the communication device."Attention all crew members! Attention, all crew! I am Captain Lu Yunrui. From now on, I order all of you to immediately enter level one combat readiness and be ready for battle at any time.”
As soon as the order was given, the spaceship immediately became lively. Under the command of the commander, a portion of the robots entered the strategic points of the ship and prepared to operate the weapons. Another group of people pushed the carrier-based fighter jets out of the hangar and lined them up neatly on the flight deck, ready to board the plane at any time.
Soon, two days passed.
In the past two days, the Exploration had exhausted all means of communication and sent out all kinds of communication signals without interruption, but it received no response. The other party only surrounded the Exploration and moved with it from a kilometer away. Other than that, there were no signs of provocation or contact with the outside world.
This made Lu Yunrui and the others very puzzled. He said that the other party wasn't hostile, right? They had been surrounding him like maggots in his bones, and he could not get rid of them. Hostile? However, they didn't do anything.
The few of them discussed and discussed, but they still could not figure out what the other party's intentions were. In the end, it was not until the Goddess of Love detected another fleet heading in their direction that they realized that the other party was waiting for reinforcements.
Since it was clear that the other party was up to no good, Lu Yunrui immediately ordered the spaceship to start at full speed and enter the anti-space in order to get rid of the other party. However, as soon as they entered the anti-space, the Exploration was attacked by the cosmic creatures that came out of nowhere.
This shocked Lu Yunrui and the others. Because with the anti-space technology that the Earthlings had mastered, they could not engage in any form of battle in the anti-space. However, they did not expect the opponent to have already mastered it. As a result, not only would the anti-space not be able to avoid the enemy, but it might even become the burial ground of the Exploration.
The next moment, the Exploration immediately jumped back to normal space. The alien spaceship also returned to the main space and immediately followed.
Morgan was so angry that he laughed. Do these damn lizards really think we're easy to bully?!”
"They just want to stall us and buy time for the reinforcements to arrive," Lei Liting said coldly. If you want to die quickly, go ahead and fight them. But don't bring us along. I don't want to die yet!"
Morgan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly."Hehe! I know that too. I'm just angry!"
Lu Yunrui glanced at the two of them, then turned to Goddess of Love and said,""Enter light speed and see if we can shake them off!”
"Understood!"
In an instant, the Exploration turned to light speed and disappeared from the alien ship's sight in the blink of an eye.
