On July 3rd, 2020, the giant spacecraft that had been in the solar system all this time suddenly ejected a pulse stream. In an instant, it traversed tens of kilometers and lit up the dark space.
Following that, the heavy body of the spacecraft began to move slowly. After more than ten minutes, it had easily broken free from the gravitational pull of the sun, left the ecliptic plane, and gradually flew out of the solar system.
…
On a certain morning on Earth.
In a world of ice and snow, a metal plate that had been frozen on the ground suddenly vibrated slightly and made clanking sounds. Not long after, it was knocked open by a huge force. A figure carefully crawled out of the cave. As the cold wind blew outside, his whole body shivered.
It had been five years since the destruction of the aliens. The sky was much brighter than before, and the temperature had greatly warmed up. However, it was still negative thirty-four degrees Celsius.
He rubbed his hands and sneaked out of the cave. This person was wrapped in thick animal skins and had a foul smell. His face was covered in thick mud and grease, making it difficult to see his real face. It was as if he had not bathed for many years.
However, a pair of pitch-black eyes that were different from ordinary people showed that he was not an ordinary person.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky that was shrouded in lead clouds. His already pitch-black eyes suddenly became even darker. It was a kind of darkness that humans could not describe. It was as if even light could not escape from his eyes.
After looking for a while, he suddenly looked stunned, as if he still could not believe it. He rubbed his eyes and stared for a few more minutes. His expression became more and more excited, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He rolled and crawled towards the cave.
"Gone, finally gone!" he shouted as he ran. His voice was filled with excitement and sobs, as if he was a madman.
"What? Gone? Are you sure?"
"Really gone?"
"Good, good, good. We are finally safe!"
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people in the cave. The small cave was filled with people. At this time, when they heard that the person had disappeared, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Everyone calm down. Xiao Hu, drink some water first and talk slowly!" A middle-aged man with a strong physique came out from the crowd and patted his shoulder, "What did you see?"
He was tall and sturdy, with a thick chest that was filled with great strength. Compared to the dirty and messy others, he was relatively clean, without a speck of dust on his body. As he spoke, the entire cave quietened down.
His powerful strength made him the natural leader of the Wanderer Camp. No one dared to challenge his authority.
If Luo Yuan was here, he would recognize that he was the former deputy minister of the Firearms Bureau, Lin Zhong-an.
When the Glassians launched their plan to destroy mankind, he was living in the outskirts of the headquarters of the Firearms Bureau. In the end, when the antimatter bomb exploded, he was directly affected by the destructive force and his body was instantly shattered.
Fortunately, his evolved ability was unique. His body could be decomposed into particles in a short period of time. To a certain extent, he was close to immortality. The moment he was shattered, his body began to reconstruct. Moreover, he was further away from the center of the explosion. Therefore, he survived but was severely injured. He was in a coma for more than a year before he woke up from the ice layer.
Unfortunately, most of the human forces had left the earth and he could no longer find any traces of human activities. After wandering in the ice layer for half a year, he accidentally found the footprints left by humans and found the Wanderer Camp.
The man who was called Xiao Hu drank some water and calmed himself down, "Boss, the alien spaceship is gone. It's really gone."
The quiet crowd became excited again. Many of them were crying tears of joy. For the past few years, they had been hiding. Every time they moved, they would choose the coldest night as they were afraid of being discovered by the aliens. Many of them had frozen to death because of this.
"Don't be careless. Perhaps it's hiding behind a planet. We have waited for five years, we don't mind waiting for another year or so. The weather is getting warmer and there are more and more food. As long as we don't get discovered by the aliens, we will be able to survive."
…
The Solar System was extremely vast. With the Kuiper Meteorite Belt as the boundary, this was a circular space with a diameter of one light year. In this area, due to the influence of the sun's gravity, matter and gas were relatively concentrated. It was a high-risk area for interstellar navigation.
However, even though the spaceship had been maintaining a low speed and safety, its flight was still not very stable. During this period, the spaceship would experience a slight vibration almost every few hours.
A large number of fine dust particles in space frequently bombarded the spaceship, causing the spaceship to emit a hazy glow as it flew.
In the beginning, every vibration would cause people to feel anxious and uneasy. However, after a long time, they gradually got used to it.
Fortunately, the further away they were from the sun, the less frequent the vibration. After three years, it only happened once in a while. After leaving the Solar System, this situation did not happen again.
Time flew, and now the spaceship had been flying in space for nearly ten years.
The virtual world today was no longer as small and narrow as it used to be. In the past ten years, the latest generation of quantum computing units had replaced the original computing units. The computing power had increased by tens of thousands of times, making the world bigger and more realistic.
The space island had become a large island with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers.
Not only were there factories on the island, but there were also factories in space.
At this moment, in a large factory, the construction of a new spaceship had officially started.
On both sides, there were two giant gantries. With the help of a large number of construction machines, the two gantries were holding two gigantic curved armors that weighed billions of tons. They were slowly closing up.
Luo Yuan and a group of higher-ups were riding on a small aircraft, looking at the armors that were closing up. Just by looking at it from afar, they could feel the shock from the bottom of their hearts.
The length of the two gantries was more than 10,000 meters, the height was 5,000 meters, and the total weight was 1.5 billion tons. If it was on Earth, it would be impossible to build such a super machine even with the Glassian's metal craftsmanship. The gravity alone could crush it. In order to drive it, the power consumption reached 10 million kilowatts per second, which was almost comparable to a mothership.
With such a large gantry, the spaceship that was about to be built was naturally not small. Compared to the spaceship, the small aircraft that Luo Yuan was riding on was like a fly next to an elephant. It seemed insignificant.
The spaceship was still in the shape of a disc, but its diameter was a shocking nine kilometers. It was six times the size of the Glassian mothership. If someone were to walk from one end to the other, it would take at least two hours. Its mass could reach up to 10 billion tons.
This spaceship was not an imitation of the Glassian mothership, nor was it just a simple enlargement. It was a brand new interstellar battleship of the new generation. The reason why the spaceship was still in the shape of a disc was not because humans did not have the technology to build other spaceships. It was because there were not many spaceships to choose from. Although the spaceship was in space, under normal circumstances, it would not be too close to the stars. It would not be affected by gravity and it seemed like any structure could be used.
However, this was only applicable to a stationary spaceship. The spaceship would still need to accelerate or decelerate. Even in an emergency, it would need to decelerate. Therefore, the stability of the spaceship's structure was relatively high.
It had to be symmetrical from top to bottom and left to right. The mass of each part must be balanced, which would eliminate those strange structures. At the same time, when flying, the surface of contact had to be as small as possible to reduce the probability of colliding with a meteorite.
Aside from its larger size, its technological content was far more advanced than the Glassian mothership. In the past few years, human technology had improved by leaps and bounds. A large number of new technologies and new results had emerged, showing an explosive development speed.
