Chapter 309 - The track of the Outer Star Exploration Spaceship!
Chapter 309 of "Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito" starts with unexpected events: Keep in mind that the total human population on Earth is around six billion.This population... Find out more!
Keep in mind that the total human population on Earth is around six billion.
This population has sparked a dazzling gleam of civilization.
However, in the entire Milky Way, the number of stars like the Sun greatly exceeds the total population of Earth.
So, is life on Earth genuinely unique in the grandeur of such a stellar system?
The Sun is not unique, nor is the Solar System with its planetary distribution.
Even Mother Earth, the cradle of humanity, holds no special mystique in this galaxy.
Some scientists on Earth, based on Earthâs environment, estimate that at the same period as Earth, the number of advanced civilizations possibly emerging in the Milky Way could be around two million!
These two million are just estimates based on the evolutionary potential of humans.
If some intelligent life forms evolve in a different way than humans, the actual number of advanced civilizations may far exceed this estimate!
Therefore, itâs not surprising that other star systems harbor life, and even intelligent life that far surpasses Earthâs civilization!
As for their lack of contact with humans on Earth, perhaps like the three civilizations where Daphne resides, itâs not that they choose not to communicate, but rather, there is no necessity to!
Even if they find Earth and see the existence of humans, is there a need for contact?
They have already seen many life-bearing planets, and humans on Earth are just commonplace among them.
If not for the advent of the star-condensed substance, these representatives of interstellar civilizations might continue to hide in unexplored corners, only occasionally making their presence known through âsightingsâ of their spacecraft, and perhaps even choosing to remain hidden forever!
Enslave humanity?
As Daphne said, her empire is already bloated.
There is hardly any interest in this faraway, civilized planet.
Civilizations that have not reached a certain level may not even be worth their attention!
In truth, if Jia Yan simply flew out of the Solar System in a giant version of the spaceship, he might discover intelligent life in the neighboring star systems!
Life is not that unique.
However, Jia Yan did not undertake such an endeavor.
Even if he did, given the spacecraftâs speed, the journey to the neighboring star system would still take thousands of years!
Disregarding the issue of whether there would be enough energy or not, Jia Yan decisively could not live that long!
As previously mentioned, the vastness of the universe is despair-inducing!
The Sun in front is gradually enlarging in sight.
Seeing this, Jia Yan finally feels a sense of relief.
Even as someone not that well-versed in astronomy, he realizes that heading in the wrong direction would be no joking matter.
Thankfully, the Sun is getting closer, and he can afford to relax.
The spacecraft should have an automatic flight mode, but Jia Yan could not understand the jumbled text, so he chose the most straightforward method â directly piloting the spacecraft, non-stop day and night!
Fortunately, his need for sleep has been dwindling ever since his rebirth.
Although this journey might be prolonged, Jia Yan can stop the spaceship and rest somewhere when he canât endure further.
Jia Yanâs return to Earth remains uncertain.
However, during his mutation and the commencement of the spaceshipâs flight, significant changes are also taking place elsewhere!
This is a star system!
Its main star is similar to the Sun, and the system also possesses a Kuiper Belt akin to the Solar System.
If astronomers were to observe this star system, they would recognize it as the Epsilon Eridani star system, only 10.5 light-years away from the Solar System.
Everything about this star system is similar to the Solar System, except its main star is much younger than the Sun.
The age of the Sun is about 4.6 billion years, while the main star of the Epsilon Eridani star system is only 850 million years old.
Therefore, many astronomers observe this star system to understand the changes that occurred when our Solar System was younger.
However, something obviously alien to this young star system is currently zooming through it!
If Jia Yan could see it, he would be utterly shocked!
Because itâs a flying rod-like spacecraft, but its size is so gigantic that Daphneâs flying rod spacecraft is simply incomparable!
This is a technological object, shaped like a long rod, boasting an astounding length of two thousand kilometers and a seemingly invincible outer shell!
Flames occasionally jet from its back, continuously adjusting its direction.
This colossal entity is currently approaching a huge planet-like object!
This planet overall appears as dreary pale yellow, normally unfit for life.
However, there are currently massive operations unearthing and extracting resources from the planetâs surface!
Yes!
It is the âExploration Shipâ of the âEmpire,â as Daphne mentioned!
In the short span of three hundred years, they had set out from Earth, unknown of how many planets they had exploited and excavated along the way, and had traveled to this Epsilon Eridani star system!
At this moment, within the spaceship, some strange-looking creatures were constantly wandering.
They are a species similar to âBig-headed Monstersâ, they also have limbs, but their heads are extremely large, and their outer skin has some wrinkles, not very aesthetic!
However, their technological power is extremely strong, each of them possesses some firearms, which look very powerful.
Only some of the lower-ranking entities carry the kind of pistols that Daphne carries, and the weapons carried by other entities are clearly superior by their appearance.
The two pistols that Daphne owns simply canât be mentioned in the same breath!
These big-headed monsters are already very familiar with the universe, they fly using brainwaves, continuing to fly and complete their work.
However, during their work, suddenly a strange piece of information from a distant place was transmitted into this spaceship!
Some higher-level aliens read the information and had a simple discussion.
It wasnât long before there was some movement in this huge aircraft!
All the working big-headed monsters started to gather within the spaceship, but those devices were completely left on the surface of the planet.
They continue to mine!
As for the immense body of the spaceship, it slowly starts to turn its head âŚ
Afterwards, its body kept accelerating, and accelerating, and accelerating again!
Compared to the flying saucer that Jia Yan started, its acceleration ability is absolutely unknown how much more powerful!
Suddenly!
Under certain circumstances, its body disappeared from the observable universe!
Then suddenly again!
Its body appeared billions of kilometers away in an extremely distant place!
This immense spaceship, unexpectedly used an unimaginable way of flying, in space, and started to fly extremely fast!
It even approached the speed of light!
Its destination is that not-so-distant shining star!
The Sun!
At a distance from this star, almost similar to a dozen light years away, another flying saucer-like object, but with a diameter of two or three kilometers, nearly at the same moment, received a signal.
It also unleashed its speed, flying to the area where the solar system is located!
Its speed is not much slower than that spaceship!
These two technologically unpredictable entities are about to arrive in the solar system!
However, even they cannot exceed the speed of light, they can just get extremely close, but not reach it!
Therefore, their time to reach the solar system might take a dozen years.
On Earth, ten or so years is already a long enough time.
Their current primary enemies are not the two entities that might take more than ten years to arrive, but the metal monsters, which are causing despair among humans!
To deal with the metal monsters, humans thought hard and developed countless methods!
However, in front of humans, there is always an insurmountable obstacle, that is, the structure created by the metal monsters capable of emitting red light!
