Chapter 297: An Ordinary Spaceship Passing By

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The unknown light beam that was rapidly approaching was not known to the public, but it caused panic among the higher-ups of some countries on the planet.

There were not many countries that had enough strength to support accurate space observation, and only these big countries could discover that aliens had really appeared.

However, it wasn’t the alien who came personally, but the aliens’ attack.

No matter how one looked at it, the beam of light did not look like a friendly greeting.

“How is it? What’s the latest information?”

The director of the Astronomical Observatory rushed to the bureau without even putting on his clothes and asked about the recent situation.

In fact, he had learned about the general situation through communication on the way, but he was still afraid that he would miss out on any new information during the journey.

The researcher quickly replied, “According to our calculations, the source of this beam of light is about five light years away from Heavenly Planet. Also, according to the information we received before the destruction of Seeker No.

1, it’s actually not a beam of light, but a glowing lifeform that’s moving at sublight speed…”

After the director heard the answer, he could not help but confirm again, “Seeker No. 1 was destroyed?”

This was news that he had never heard before. It seemed that something new had happened while he was rushing over from abroad.

“Unfortunately, Seeker No. 1 happened to be in the path of the beam. Judging from the time, it should have been destroyed by now…”

This unfortunate news made the director fall silent for a moment because it meant that all their efforts to explore the galaxy so far had turned into bubbles. However, he also knew that the most important thing at the moment was not this matter, but the light beam that could bring about a world-ending disaster. Hence, his aura condensed and he quickly took on the demeanor of a leader. He calmed everyone’s panicked emotions and continued their work in an orderly manner.

He himself was also staring at the data, and at the same time, he did not forget to listen to his subordinates’ reports. Although his face was expressionless to calm people’s hearts, his inner emotions were changing again and again.

According to the report, the string of mysterious light beams was approaching the star at sublight speed.

However, apart from that, they also discovered an impossible fact. That was, the string of light beams was moving at faster-than-light.

Because the observatory of another country on the other side of the planet discovered that according to the trajectory of the light beam, the distance it moved a few months ago was unbelievable. It could only be done faster than the speed of light.

This completely overturned the law that the speed of light could not be surpassed, but the truth was right in front of them.

Now, the director was wondering why it suddenly slowed down.

According to the data of Seeker No. 1, the light beams were flying at sublight speed. At first, they were almost at the same speed as light, but now they had slowed down a lot.

Even though a few hours had passed since the discovery, the strike countdown calculated by the astronomical observer remained unchanged at 19 hours, as if forming a dynamic balance.

However, this was not what they wanted. There would eventually be a limit to the speed reduction. At that time, it would be the real countdown.

Even if they didn’t know what kind of impact the light beam would have on the star, they had to prepare for the worst, such as… The star was extinguished, and the world entered an eternal winter night.

However, this kind of disaster response was not something the director should be in charge of. After reporting everything he knew to his superiors, he began to think about the mystery of the light beam that troubled him.

“What can it be? Perhaps this type of light beam can move forward by changing the curvature of space-time? Or is there a wormhole leading to this place on its way?”

As the director of an Astronomical Observatory, he enjoyed reading all kinds of scientific magazines in his spare time, including many science fiction novels. He quickly thought of those theoretical machines that existed in his fantasies. At the same time, he also thought of an idea proposed by a famous person, the Star Confusion planetologist:

“Even the speed of light is too slow in the universe. Assuming that there is a faster-than-light space in the universe where we can easily surpass the speed of light, our development might be very different.”

“Could it be the faster-than-light space?” The director thought about it and shook his head. He said self-deprecatingly, “Why would 1 think of this lunatic’s nonsense? Let’s look at reality first…”

Then, the director himself also threw himself into the intense work and quickly threw the idea out of his mind.

Just like that, a few hours passed.

The tense atmosphere seemed to spill out from the Astronomical Observatory, and even the home of the planetologist was filled with a similar atmosphere.

At this moment, he was calculating something on the computer in the study room. However, the computer’s configuration was obviously not very high. Very soon, the program that was too slow made the planetologist slam the table and angrily take out a pen and paper to calculate by himself.

However, at this moment, the communication device that he rarely used suddenly rang. After he answered it impatiently, he realized that the other party was his student.

“Teacher! The surveillance is still there. To make a long story short, the blow is going to…”

Before he could finish, the communication was cut off. This made the planetologist get up and run out of the door.

There was still no change in the sky, but the planetologist was extremely uneasy because he had a feeling that something else was coming besides the blow.

Under the increasing pressure, the higher-ups of this country also came to the Astronomical Observatory and prepared to hold a meeting on the spot to obtain new information and discuss solutions.

“The world alliance headquarters is holding a meeting. The leaders are still having a secret meeting, but the outcome will probably not change… Have you analyzed the properties of the light beam?”

“We have some clues. That luminous object might have the ability to absorb and transform star matter. Perhaps the eternal winter night that we initially guessed is coming…”

“Is there no way to stop it halfway? Our nuclear weapons, space station, everything can be used in this crisis.”

“It’s probably impossible. Maybe we can pray that some alien civilization passing by will help us solve this problem. Forget it. While there is still time, it is time for the underground fallout shelter to come in handy.”

Among them, some of them had the idea of escaping from the beginning and had even secretly arranged for their relatives to take refuge, leaving the people outside unaware.

However, this was the reality here. Those who held power could always be one step ahead.

However, while these higher-ups were discussing in low voices, a staff member here noticed a string of extremely abnormal numbers.

“Just, just now, about 400,000 kilometers above our planet, a terrifying space-time curvature reading appeared. It’s almost equivalent to a Black Hole appearing there!”

Following these shocking words, the pupils of the planetologist who was a long distance away from the astronomical observation station also constricted.

With his excellent eyesight, he saw a spot of light that seemed to be fading away from the black curtain in the distant sky.

He took out his self-made binoculars and looked over. Then, he saw a spaceship that only existed in his imagination appear out of thin air.

It looked ordinary, but it seemed to carry the weight of a civilization as it passed over the sky..
