"This is …"
In the command room of the outpost, the researchers standing in front of the holographic screen widened their eyes and looked at everything displayed on the screen in disbelief.
The underwater volcano exuded a red glow, and a string of bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea. In the bottomless trench, the huge battleship was embedded in the towering rock wall. The eerie steel shell was covered with blood-red seaweed, like mottled rust.
Looking at the towering battleship on the holographic screen, the colonial governor Peng Wei was shocked.
Envoy-class …
No, it was bigger than the Envoy-class.
He had seen the Envoy-class of the Earth Defense Alliance, and he almost boarded that starship to represent the Earth Defense Alliance to the Kuiper Belt. Later, because of the transfer, he was incorporated into the colonial reserve army and finally became a glorious colonial governor.
"Get closer and take a look," Peng Wei ordered.
"Roger." The staff in charge of operating the robot pressed the button on the joystick.
The deep-sea robot under the ice sheet restarted its motor, and the blade-like propellers began to rotate again as it approached the starship below.
"What do you see?"
"A line of letters … Get closer, I can't see it clearly."
The blood-red seaweed covered the line of white letters. In desperation, the staff had to operate the deep-sea robot to move closer and use the robotic arm to clean up the seaweed.
Soon, the seaweed covering the line of white letters was peeled off, revealing the first few letters.
Russian?
Peng Wei paused for a moment.
He originally thought he would see some alien language on it, but he didn't expect it to be language from Earth.
It wasn't him who was even more surprised, but the staff from various countries. Exclamations of astonishment rose one after another in the command room, especially the astronauts from Russia, who looked at the line of letters with excitement and trembling voice.
"Baikonur launch base … There's no mistake, this is the initials of the Baikonur launch base. But … why does the name Baikonur appear here? "
The Baikonur launch base never had a launch plan for Europa, and it had never launched such a large starship. Future Heavy Industries was the only company in the world that possessed the entire starship construction technology …
"Terminate the exploration plan immediately." Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Peng Yu patted the robot operator on the shoulder and immediately ordered, "Start silent mode."
"…" The operator was taken aback. He didn't understand why they had to stop at a time like this, but seeing the serious expression on the governor's face, he nodded subconsciously. "Okay, okay."
Far away from the starship sleeping at the bottom of the sea, it flew towards the rock wall on the side. The deep-sea robot that was close to the rock wall shot out an anchor hook and firmly fixed itself on the rock wall. The sudden termination of the exploration plan caught all the staff in the command room by surprise.
"Wait, why did you stop?" The Slavic astronaut grabbed Peng Wei's arm and said excitedly, "We are only one step away from the truth, we can —"
"Before we 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 irrefutable tone, "You are a little emotional. I suggest you calm down first, Mr. Kutpov."
Peng Wei no longer paid attention to the astronaut from Russia. He took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and was about to inform the managers of various countries to go to the conference room at the center of the outpost for a meeting. However, at that moment, the behemoth on the holographic screen suddenly moved.
Dense bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea, and the huge shock wave hit the deep-sea robot along the tumbling ocean current. Fortunately, the anchor hook had already been launched, so it was not swept away by the huge impact. Peng Wei's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the constantly shaking picture and the rising ocean current parameters. His hands slammed in front of the holographic image.
"What happened?"
"That starship …" The operator who was driving the deep-sea robot gulped. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he said with difficulty, "It seems to have moved."
Not seemed.
Perhaps it was "awakened" by the deep-sea robot's action of cleaning up the seaweed just now, the sleeping behemoth on the bottom of the sea made a low muffled sound. Another string of bubbles floated up from the bottom of the sea, like an upwelling fog wall, almost covering 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, the picture on the holographic screen suddenly turned white.
"What happened?" Peng Wei was taken aback and quickly asked the operator of the deep-sea robot.
"I don't know, maybe the sudden rise of the ocean current just now broke the lens." The operator was sweating as he checked the various parameters of the robot, praying that there would be no malfunctions. "Damn it … The camera is all normal, and the sensor device is also OK. What is the problem …"
At this moment, the picture on the holographic screen suddenly flashed, and the white snowflakes that originally covered the screen suddenly disappeared.
However, what stunned everyone was that the picture projected on the holographic screen was obviously not from the front-end camera of the deep-sea robot, but a simple circular conference room.
"… Our communication has been hijacked." The operator stopped the meaningless struggle, and his hands left the touchpad. He gulped and said with difficulty, "The other party's information technology is better than ours, and it's not just information technology."
That was a load of crap.
Peng Wei said in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud, because his attention was glued to the holographic screen.
In the center of the empty conference room, light blue light particles gathered and gradually converged into a figure …
…
Standing in the Celestial City Space Command Center, from the moment the starship appeared, Jiang Chen and Lin Lin's expressions were frozen. It wasn't until the figure formed by the holographic image appeared in the center of the conference room that he regained his senses.
A long time ago, Jiang Chen had thought of countless possibilities of the collision of the two worlds, and what kind of picture it would be, but he didn't expect this moment to come so suddenly, and it even caught him off guard.
The man had a shaved head, wore a strange robe with angular shapes, and behind him were several soft robes with strange patterns tattooed on his head.
"Hello, Gorowen, nice to meet you."
The man standing on the other side of the screen was very polite, and he nodded slightly as he spoke. However, this kind of politeness was formulaic. From his indifferent eyes, Jiang Chen couldn't see the slightest emotion or similar color.
"What the hell happened?" Kelvin was dumbfounded. He looked at the man who claimed to be Gorowen on the holographic screen and was speechless for a moment.
Aliens?
But why do aliens look like humans?
"Sventovet …" Lin Lin, standing next to Jiang Chen, murmured in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The masterpiece of the Baikonur launch base, the Soviet colonial ship …"
