Chapter 393 - 393 393 Accidents All Kinds of Accidents

?Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Accidents, All Kinds of Accidents Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Accidents, All Kinds of Accidents Research on this piece of cosmic debris had yet to make any breakthroughs, though two things had been confirmed so far: first, it undoubtedly came from another universe. The entire asteroid belt had jumped into this space, propelled by the fragments of the Star Ring, and the smuggled goods mixed within couldn’t possibly be products of our own universe. Second, its creators were part of a civilization strikingly similar to Earth’s—naturally, the former was infinitely more advanced than the latter.

It had been designed for human use and control, featuring seats with backrests suited to upright vertebrates and visual display terminals. The cockpit’s airtightness led us to believe that its previous owners definitely needed to breathe, which… ahem, the diligent scientists even deduced that the users had ten fingers based on the layout of the keys on the aircraft’s control panel—I have no idea how they came up with that conclusion.

Except for not knowing whether the creators’ facial features differed from Earthlings, the race that built this spacecraft had the exact same bodily structure as humans.

However, that was as far as our analysis could go. This damaged machine had left behind too little information, and the few areas that had text and symbols were smashed into holes or eroded into a blurry mess, which clearly caused a lot of conjecture trouble. I had ample reason to believe that, in the hands of a particularly lazy author, even if there were any text left on this thing, it would definitely be in simple, squared-off Simplified Chinese—he absolutely wouldn’t bother writing Traditional Chinese.

Perhaps if I had the time, I would be interested in crossing a few universes to see what this civilization looked like—a form of civilization so similar to that of Earth’s human civilization, yet many times more advanced. Maybe seeing them would give us a glimpse into the future of humanity, after all, using the Xyrin people’s society as a role model would just be too damaging to our pride…

Qianqian and Lin Xue, two excessively curious folks, had wheedled their way into staying at the research center. Though they certainly weren’t contributing anything to the research efforts, they seemed quite happy watching the researchers studying relics of the alien civilization, especially the latter. That girl hadn’t messed with my spaceship in a long time, and now her troublesome interest seemed to be rekindling…

As we chatted and walked, I returned to the bridge with Sandora. Today marked the third day of the asteroid collision. Everything was proceeding orderly. Despite the spectacular scene outside, where the massive United Fleet met the cluster of asteroids—an event that even ignited a frenetic nationalism in several nations on the ground—both Sandora and I knew too well that the situation wasn’t as dangerous as it seemed.

After the peak of the asteroid belt collision, the bombardment from outer space had gradually calmed. The planetary defense barrier formed by the fleet had finally reversed from its constant state of decline and began slowly recharging. Powered by the Void’s Ghost Energy Reactor, we didn’t have to worry about running out of energy at all, and the interceptor fleet could even afford to relax a bit and enjoy the ‘fireworks.’ Compared to the firepower of those super civilizations, these celestial bodies relying solely on kinetic energy and a bit of Abyss Energy to strike weren’t a threat to the entire Imperial Fleet at all.

According to the calculations of the Xyrin Host, this collision would last till the afternoon of the fourth day at most, and the fragments of the Star Ring should appear around then. Plus, the asteroid bombardment had already shown signs of weakening. One could say that this most troublesome wave of attacks had almost been dealt with.

Moreover, the most significant threat—an out-of-control constant star—had been swiftly ‘dispatched’ by Dingdang’s cheating skills before it could even make a significant impact, a demise even more suffocating than Kil’Jaeden’s end by the ‘toilet’ those years ago, giving us a huge sigh of relief.

All that was left was an unregistered heavy metal planet that hadn’t showed up yet. It sounded frightening, but in reality, it posed even less of a threat than this cluster of asteroids. Taville’s engineering team sent to assemble the Sniper Star Cannon had already sent back a message that they were ready. Now, a Xyrin Host was responsible for acting as the thinking core of the Sniper Star Cannon, which meant that we didn’t even need to take action ourselves. As soon as that planet appeared, a super-strong laser from a different space-time would vaporize it completely, sentencing the doomed being to death before it was even born.

And up until now, Earth had not suffered the slightest damage, although the tense atmosphere still hung over the orange-red sky and covered the land. So far, not a single Earthling had been hit by a meteorite—could the only Earthling hit by a meteorite in this event end up being me?

The three asteroids that Lin Xue predicted would fall to Earth seemed to have no chance of making an appearance—unless we were foolish enough to open the protective shields at this time.
