Chapter 121 - 121 120: Running beyond the first cosmic speed! (Please subscribe, please vote!)
When the three-star spaceship reappeared, it had already reached the outer space around Earth.
Inside the spaceship, Nalan Mingliang sat in the leading position, issuing orders, “Find me their planet’s strongest individual!”
For them, the first thing to do in destroying a civilization was definitely to take down their strongest.
According to their understanding, Earth Civilization only had one person who had reached Meteorite Level, and not even a single Purple Level warrior.
Therefore, once they killed the Meteorite Level individual, everyone else, even if they wanted to escape, would not be able to board a spaceship.
Another reason for killing the strongest was to prevent the strongest from escaping directly without showing up if they started slaughtering ordinary people, which could ultimately lead to retaliatory massacres from the enemy.
Therefore, prioritizing the elimination of the strongest was the smartest choice!
“Grand Elder, we’ve found a… a giant over a thousand meters tall!”
…
Nanyuan Base.
Of the ten people in the Purple Level cultivation program, nine were already immersed in the intense process of swallowing and refining the crystals.
Only Lu Zhou wasn’t doing that—he had been selected to be the newest director of the Cosmic Technology Research Institute, responsible for the allocation of all newly purchased alien technology products.
At the moment, he was categorizing and tagging all the high-tech products purchased from aliens according to different disciplines and distributing them to different experts.
“The space technology products, after being registered, will be sent to space directly to test their actual effects. After we get a chance, we will buy the same ones again for disassembly and research…”
He did not naively disassemble all the high-tech products right away—given Earth’s current foundation, that would be pointless.
So, any technology product that could be placed outside the planet was sent directly up according to its manual.
“The Resonance Detector can detect whether the resonance nodes within a star sector are vibrating!”
Vibrating signifies that a spaceship is jumping and absence of vibration means there isn’t.
As per the instructions, Lu Zhou released the instrument. In no time, the device, roughly the size of a small car and resembling a surveillance probe, rose rapidly to the sky. There was no visible blaze under it, yet it defied gravity and headed for the atmosphere.
Looking at the rapidly rising detector, Lu Zhou shook his head, “The task of reverse-engineering alien technology is a long and arduous one!”
Taking off without any explosion or outburst—apart from anti-gravity systems—he could not imagine how the detector accomplished the task so quickly.
But researching anti-gravity is not that easy.
Before long, the Resonance Detector exited the atmosphere and entered cosmic space.
As per the instructions, he placed it halfway between Earth and the Moon. Although the detector was small in size, it had a large range; it could cover the distance between Earth and the Moon.
“Green indicator light signifies normal operation, yellow indicator light means equipement failure, red indicator light signifies the resonance nodes vibrating…”
Apart from the Resonance Detector which was placed in interstellar space, there was also a feedback unit connected to the ground.
Just as Lu Zhou glanced at the greenish indicator light, it suddenly turned red. Meanwhile, a sharp alarm went off, echoing “Beeeeep! Beep!”
“What’s going on?”
The alarm sounded shrill. Yao Zhenguo and other politicians who were watching from nearby quickly rushed over to inquire.
Lu Zhou glanced at the crowd and calmly said, “This is the Resonance Detector. It can detect whether a spaceship using spatial jump technology is coming here—the red light means we have company.”
His explanation was simple and easy to understand. Yao Zhenguo immediately understood it and asked with a furrowed brow, “A spaceship?”
“Is it Pang Ze again?”
He quickly said, “Let’s go, let’s head to the control center!”
Ever since the Spatial Channels disappeared, long-wave communications on Earth had been restored—they no longer needed to go to the Arctic to communicate with satellites.
Seeing this, Yao Zhenguo naturally relocated the control center to Nanyuan.
Soon, everyone, including Lu Zhou, arrived at the control center, where Wang Dezhen was intently observing a piece of equipment, his brows furrowed.
Seeing everyone coming over, he said, “These are all the satellites orbiting Earth, I’ve had them all turned in toward space…”
Sure enough, on the large screen, several small squares displayed the view of cosmic space.
Every small screen was filled with the inky blackness of space, when suddenly, an alien spaceship appeared on one of them.
Without needing orders from the leaders, the technicians immediately enlarged the square with the spaceship.
Swiftly, a kilometer-long spaceship slowly emerged, closely followed by a hundred-meter-long spaceship.
“What is…”
Everyone quickly looked over, finding the insignia on the spaceship vaguely familiar.
Lu Zhou’s superpower was related to the brain—his memory had been enhanced to the maximum. The moment he saw the insignia on the spaceship, he recognized it and blurted out, “That’s the insignia of the Nalan family!”
“What? It’s them?!”
“What are they here for?”
Before they could figure out the situation, a technician quickly reported, “Our satellites have been infiltrated!”
Suddenly, the satellites, which were originally pointed towards outer space, turned themselves around to face Earth’s interior.
“Those sons of bitches, they are also a Tier 1 civilization—where did they get this kind of technology!” Yao Zhenguo clenched his fist and cursed angrily.
Lu Zhou calmly said, “They probably don’t understand the technology. The ability to infiltrate satellites is probably in-built in the spaceship!”
The spaceship was built by the Purple Orchid, a Tier 2 civilization. Naturally, they had the capabilities to equip their spaceship with the technology to infiltrate satellites.
Soon, some satellites were pointed towards Nanyuan and began to quickly scan the area.
Yao Zhenguo quickly considered several possibilities and ordered, “Contact Du Gang immediately and inform him of the impending alien invasion!”
At a time like this, only Du Gang could handle the situation.
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, the satellite images showed several frames that were all locked onto Du Gang.
At that moment, he was training at a ruin hundreds of kilometers away from Nanyuan.
Then, they noticed that all the satellite images that were originally controlled had mostly resumed their free rotation mode. Only the ones related to Du Gang remained still.
“They are moving. They are starting to enter the atmosphere!”
After analyzing for a moment, a technician quickly said, “From the current situation, it seems like they are heading towards Du Gang!”
At the same time, someone reported, “Du Gang’s watch is on the helicopter, we can’t contact him directly!”
…
Controlling the power turned out to be easier than Du Gang had imagined.
Initially, he thought it would be very difficult and would take a long time.
But when he actually started trying to control it, he found that it wasn’t that difficult.
Especially when he was tiptoeing, controlling the power became easier.
In just half a day, he was able to walk like a normal person in his giant state. Each step he took, all the power was locked in the soles of his feet, not being released into the ground.
