Chapter 1544 - Starship in the Deep Sea



Chapter 1544: Starship in the Deep Sea

“This is…”

In the outpost command room, researchers from different countries stood in front of the holographic screen widened their eyes, and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.

The submarine volcano exuded a red-hot glow, and strings of bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea. A huge starship was embedded between the bottomless trench and the towering rock wall. The fearsome-looking steel armor was covered with blood-red seaweed that looked like mottled rust.

When Colonial Governor Peng Wei saw the majestic battleship on the holographic screen, a look of astonishment appeared on his face

Envoy-class…

No, it was a bit bigger than the Envoy-class.

He had seen the Envoy-class and was even close to getting on that ship to represent Earth Defense Alliance to the Kuiper Belt. Later, because of a sudden job transfer, he was transferred into the colonial reserve army and finally became an honorable colonial governor.

“Let’s get closer.” Peng Wei ordered.

“Yes.” The staff in charge of operating the robot moved the joystick.

The deep-sea robot several kilometers under the ice cap restarted its motor, the blade-like propeller turned again and moved towards the starship below.

“What do you see?”

“A line of letters… Get closer, I can’t see them clearly.”

The blood-red seaweed covered the line of white paint. In desperation, the staff had to operate the deep-sea robot closer and cleaned up the seaweed with the mechanical arm.

Soon, the seaweed that covered the line of white characters was peeled off and it revealed the first few initials.

Russian?

Peng Wei was caught off-guard.

He thought he would see some extraterrestrial letters, but he didn’t expect it to be a language that was present on Earth.

He was not the only one surprised; the staff from different countries were also astonished. Surprised and shocked cries and exclaims filled the command room, especially from the astronaut from Russia, who said in an excited but trembling voice when he saw the line of letters.

“The Baikonur launch site… that can’t be wrong, this is the initials of the Baikonur launch site. But… why is the name Baikonur here?”

The Baikonur launch base has never had a launch plan for Europa and had never launched such a large starship. The only company capable of building starships is Future Heavy Industries…

“The detection plan is terminated immediately.” Peng Wei patted the robot operator on the shoulder and immediately ordered as he realized the seriousness of the problem, “Enter the silent state.”

“…” The operator took a second to process the order he just received. He didn’t understand why he had to stop now, but when he saw the serious expression on the governor’s face, he nodded subconsciously, “Okay, okay.”

The deep-sea robot moved away from the starship sleeping on the bottom of the sea, flew towards the rock wall on the side, and launched a hook to the rock wall to fix itself. The detection plan was suddenly terminated, which shocked all the staff in the command room.

“Wait, why stop?” The Slavic astronaut stepped forward and grabbed Peng Wei’s arm. He shouted emotionally, “We are only one step away from the truth, and we will be able to—”

“Before we can confirm that what we are about to uncover is the’ truth’ and not trouble, we need to have a meeting,” Peng Wei stared into the eyes of the Slavic astronaut, and said in an absolute, irrefutable tone, “you are a bit too emotional, I suggest you calm down first, Mr. Kutpov.”

After Peng Wei finished the sentence, he ignored the astronaut from Russia, took off the radio on his shoulder, and was about to notify the managers of the different countries to go to the conference room of the outpost center for a meeting, but at this time, the behemoth in the holographic screen suddenly moved.

Dense bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea, and the huge shock wave crashed into the deep-sea robot with the tumbling ocean current. Fortunately, the hook prevented it from being swept away by the impact. The continuous shaking image along with the rising ocean current parameters made Peng Wei’s pupils constrict suddenly, and both of his hands slammed on the table in front of the holographic image.

“What happened?”

“That starship…” The staff operating the deep-sea robot gulped down the dry lump in his throat, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, he squeezed out the words with difficulty, “It seemed to have moved.”

It was not seemed, it actually happened.

Perhaps it was “awakened” by the deep-sea robot when it cleaned the seaweed, but the behemoth sleeping on the bottom of the sea made a low muffled bang. Bubbles emerged from the bottom of the sea again and just like a wall made from fog, they almost covered the entire starship.

Everyone in the command room widened their eyes and stared at the huge starship.

However, before they could see what was happening there, the image on the holographic screen turned into whiteness.

“What’s going on?” Peng Wei was stunned, and hurriedly asked the operator of the deep-sea robot.

“I don’t know, it may be that the ocean current just hit the camera.” The operator sweated profusely and checked the robot’s parameters while he prayed for the robot not to malfunction. “Damnit… the camera is normal. The sensory device is also normal. What went wrong…”

At this moment, the picture on the holographic screen flashed suddenly, and the whiteness in the screen disappeared.

However, what made everyone in the room freeze was that that the picture projected on the holographic screen was obviously not from the camera on the deep-sea robot, but a circular meeting room.

“… Our communication is hijacked.” The operator stopped the meaningless struggle and his hands left the control pad. He swallowed down his saliva and said with difficulty in his tone, “The other party’s technology is better than ours, and it’s not just technology.”

This is nonsense.

Peng Wei thought in his mind, but he didn’t speak, because his attention had been stuck on the holographic screen.

In the center of the empty meeting room, light blue particles gathered and gradually formed into a figure…

Inside Celestial City Space Command Center, the expressions of Jiang Chen and Lin Lin froze from the moment the starship appeared. It wasn’t until the figure appeared in the center of the meeting room that he came back to his senses.

A long time ago, Jiang Chen had thought about the countless possibilities of the two worlds colliding and what kind of picture it would be, but he had never thought that this moment would come so suddenly. He even felt a little caught off guard.

The man had his head shaved, wore a weird gown with weird edges, and had a few tubes connected to his back. There was also a strange pattern on the top of his head.

“Hello, I’m Golovin, nice to meet you.”

The man on the screen was very polite and nodded while he spoke. However, this kind of politeness was formulaic. From the indifferent gaze, Jiang Chen couldn’t see the slightest emotion or color.

“What happened?” Kelvin looked dumbfounded while he stared at the man claiming to be Golovin on the holographic screen. He had lost his ability to speak at this moment.

Alien?

But why do aliens look like humans?

“Space Colonization Ship Svetovid…” Next to Jiang Chen, Lin Lin whispered in a voice that only Jiang Chen could hear, “The masterpiece of the Baikonur launch base, the space colonization ship from CCCP…”
