"Traces of life? What's the situation? Is it an extraterrestrial race? "After encountering so many unexpected incidents, Feng Lin instinctively thought in a bad direction.
"No," the A.I. replied, reporting an accurate number. "These are traces of man-made excavation. This planet has been excavated by someone, but the time wasn't long. According to my calculations, it should be 11 days, 1 hour, and 36 minutes ago. "
"Is that so?" Feng Lin pondered for a moment and his heart stirred.
This place was already at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. Although they were lost, theoretically speaking, they shouldn't be far from the Great Wall University.
There was a high possibility that the people here were from the Great Wall University. If he found them, wouldn't that mean …
"Fully charge, full speed ahead!" Feng Lin commanded.
The flying shuttle instantly started to move.
The worker bee robots were activated to the maximum and started to construct the mineral extraction equipment.
Piece after piece of high-energy minerals were collected and placed into the material crushing furnace to be crushed into powder, turning into abundant energy.
The energy index of the flying shuttle kept on rising, starting from the critical region of 10 and finally reaching 100.
After this, the asteroid that was as large as a mountain was now riddled with holes. All the energy minerals had been extracted, leaving behind only ruins.
BOOM!
A powerful stream of flames shot out from the back of the flying shuttle as it slowly rose. Within a short period of time, it reached its maximum speed and flew toward the depths of the interstellar space.
Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate even more!
The image of the flying shuttle started to turn illusory, creating countless afterimages. It was like a silver beam of light piercing through space.
This was a special phenomenon that occurred when one reached sub-light speed.
The Ancient Earth Era's theory of relativity pointed out that the closer one got to light speed, the greater the mass of an object.
Unless one passed through a wormhole, it would be impossible to exceed light speed just by relying on the acceleration of matter.
Sub-light speed was the most energy-conserving mode of high-speed travel.
If one exceeded this critical point, the more they accelerated, the more energy they would have. There wasn't much meaning to it.
A red dwarf was formed from the collapse of a star. Its gravitational force was immense and captured many small planets, forming an incomparably dense ring of stars.
The flying shuttle rapidly traversed through the ring. At such a high speed, no matter how vast the solar system was, it would only take half an hour to completely pass through it.
Countless planets flashed past his ears. There were all sorts of strange phenomena, and the environments were all different.
There were planets that were formed purely from water, planets that were made from diamonds and had huge gold veins in their cores, as well as planets that were formed purely from radiation …
Feng Lin stood in the flying shuttle and stared at the images as he sighed endlessly.
The wonders and vastness of the universe were breathtaking every time they saw it.
Looking up at the starry sky, the more one experienced the vastness of the universe, the more one marveled at how insignificant humans were.
Any success or failure, honor or disgrace, was not worth mentioning.
His spirit seemed to have been baptized from the outside to the inside, becoming incomparably clear.
Feng Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, as calm as an ancient well.
Along the way, the spaceship's scanner was fully activated, scanning for all kinds of tiny traces.
The traces of the human became clearer and clearer.
They were not traveling very fast.
From the tracks he left ten days ago to the tracks he left three days ago, it was clear that he was getting closer and closer to human activity.
After being lost for so long, he had finally found his direction.
Feng Lin couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
The A.I.'s beep woke him up.
"Master, I've tracked the human spaceship. The Flowerfruit Mountain will automatically enter stealth mode! "
Feng Lin opened his eyes, only to see a gigantic object flying slowly in front of him.
This was a flying shuttle whose outer shell was made from pure metal. It had a strange shape, resembling a gigantic whale. It was extremely bloated, and there were all sorts of patches on its body. It looked extremely tattered and tattered, like the work of a clumsy tinker.
The hull of the spaceship swayed as if it was being moved by a pile of rubbish. It could fall apart at any moment.
This was a spaceship?
Feng Lin was stunned when he saw this.
No matter how thick his nerves were, he didn't expect such a situation.
Could this thing be used?
It couldn't be that it would self-destruct while moving, right?
Although it was tattered, one could see traces of human technology from the exposed parts of the hull.
With a single glance, one could tell that this wasn't a flying shuttle from the Great Wall University.
The top ten universities in the universe had gathered the most top-notch technology and talents of humanity. Their level of technology was completely above humanity. It was impossible for them to create such a tattered thing.
Its origin was unknown!
Feng Lin decided to follow it and take a look. Very soon, he discovered something strange.
Although the flying shuttle was tattered and looked like it would fall apart at any moment, its functions were very stable and its speed wasn't slow. It moved at one-third the speed of light and steadily advanced forward. There were all sorts of cameras on it, surveying the surroundings.
This was already the boundary of the solar system. The coordinates were very close to the Great Wall University, but Feng Lin didn't know how to get there.
From the looks of it, this tattered ship seemed to be active in the vicinity all year round. It was very possible that it knew accurate information.
However, the universe was filled with dangers. If there wasn't a suitable opportunity, he might attract hostility if he got too close.
If that was the case, things would be awkward.
The journey wasn't peaceful.
Even someone as resolute as Feng Lin felt mentally fatigued and didn't wish to stir up trouble.
The flying shuttle entered stealth mode and tailed the tattered ship from afar.
All of a sudden, this gigantic tattered ship seemed to have discovered something and started to descend, landing on a planet.
Tens of centipede-like mechanical arms extended out from the hull of the ship. They looked stupid and thick, but they were extremely durable. They turned into huge drill bits that buzzed and continued to extend, drilling into the planet's core and stirring non-stop.
All sorts of minerals were crushed into dregs and extracted. After that, they were rapidly sifted out and absorbed into the ship.
Was this a mining ship?
No, not only that!
Feng Lin noticed that a large amount of water was being absorbed.
"Interesting!"
After the tattered ship accomplished its purpose, it rose into the air again, leaving behind a barren planet.
The Flowerfruit Mountain followed closely behind, chasing after it.
The tattered ship moved and stopped occasionally. Every time it passed by a resource planet, it would stop to extract minerals.
Feng Lin silently speculated.
The amount of minerals collected had already far surpassed the needs of a flying shuttle. In that case, where were these resources being transported to?
In this remote region, other than the Great Wall University that guarded the borders of humanity, where else would they need so many resources?
Feng Lin's heart stirred. Didn't this mean that as long as he followed this mining ship, he would be able to reach the Great Wall University?
After understanding this, Feng Lin wasn't in a hurry. He decided to let the flying shuttle enter the automatic tracking mode and continued to cultivate.
The more he experienced, the more he understood the cruelty of the universe.
It seemed like a flourishing era for humanity, but behind it were countless people carrying heavy burdens.
The law of darkness was too cruel.
Ordinary people could live in peace, but Feng Lin couldn't.
Interstellar cultivators were the core strength of humanity.
If one continued on the path of cultivation, they would encounter alien races sooner or later. They didn't have the qualifications to relax.
Genetic potential + 15, + 15, + 15 …
With this heart, Feng Lin cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. His genetic potential grew as fast as before and very soon, it reached 1,262, obtaining another transcendent genetic point.
Before he could figure it out, the A.I. sounded a warning when he added it to the transcendent gene.
"Master, a large number of unidentified flying objects have appeared!"
Feng Lin opened his eyes. It was unknown when, but a group of extremely ancient-looking flying shuttles with propellers had flown over from the depths of the starry space. They spewed out scorching gases and left behind white tails.
This is …?
