While Yue Yuan was pondering when to hold a military conference, the New Spacesuit had been fully assembled and passed the system self-test.

And so, Yue Yuan, Yu Nanfeng, Long Xiaolin, and the two accompanying soldiers witnessed this scene.

A female test driver emerged from a room on the first floor. Wearing only a specially designed, form-fitting bodysuit to amplify the body's bioelectrical signals, her shapely figure was unmistakably revealed. Her curves were perfectly proportioned, with no straight lines where they should be – truly incredibly sexy.

No, wait, because the atmosphere on the Hope has changed, so these things won't cause any embarrassment. On the contrary, cough cough, if it were women, wouldn't it be even more obvious if it were men?

"Who designed this bodysuit?" Yue Yuan asked.

"Uh," Yu Nanfeng was taken aback, thinking to himself: How would I know who designed it? This is just a technical necessity. We can't develop New Spacesuit without doing it this way.

Yue Yuan it casually, but he knew it was a technical necessity. He just thought to himself that if the technology advanced, it could be improved, at least to make it thicker.

Meanwhile, Long Xiaolin stared intently at the test driver, clearly liking the tight-fitting outfit.

That's true. Most people with good figures like to wear tighter clothes to show off their figures, so it's normal for her to like it.

Yue Yuan watched the entire test drive process. He saw that the New Spacesuit demonstrated a set of various movements, including walking, running, jumping, sitting, lying down, taking, grabbing, hitting, squatting, and lifting.

He was very satisfied with the smooth movements. He had thought that the two small fission stacks on his chest would affect his center of gravity, but the result was that he was both agile and powerful.

Just as Yue Yuan was about to finish watching the power and propulsion tests, a message from the bridge interrupted his journey.

"Commander Yue, come to the bridge immediately. The Hope has received a broadcast message." The voice that rang in Yue Yuan's earpiece was still the familiar mature and elegant voice of Man Yuemei.

But this familiar voice made his heart suddenly race. It wasn't that he suddenly fell for Man Yuemei's voice, but rather that it was Man Yuemei's voice that had opened the door to the Silver Mist Incident.

How similar this scene is now.

So when Yue Yuan heard something like that, his first thought was of the deceptive broadcast that Silver Mist had done back then.

"I hope nothing goes wrong!" Yue Yuan was a little anxious, so he pulled Yu Nanfeng along and quickly headed towards the bridge.

Humans have just escaped the tiger's den; let's not fall into the wolf's lair.

"Chief, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Yu Nanfeng asked as he strode to catch up with Yue Yuan.

Because Yue Yuan didn't explain anything, but suddenly told him to set off immediately to go to the bridge together, and acted as if it was very urgent, which made him very curious.

"One broadcast, and everyone will know when they get to the bridge," Yue Yuan said succinctly.

As he spoke, he quickened his pace toward the bridge, silently praying, "Please, please, it's not a broadcast from Wolf 1061!"

This is what Yue Yuan is most worried about. If the source of the broadcast is the Wolf 1061 Star System, then humanity will have to consider changing its destination.

No, it's not just a matter of considering, it's a matter of definitely going.

Yue Yuan had already made up his mind: no matter what the content was, as long as it was about the Wolf 1061 Star System, the Hope would leave immediately without any hesitation.

After the 'Silver Mist Incident', humanity has become extremely wary, and will run as far away as possible if there is any change in their destination.

After all, given humanity's understanding of Cosmic Civilizations, anyone who dares to broadcast must be a being more powerful than humanity. Humanity currently has no ability to broadcast to a Star System; even the most powerful Electromagnetic Wave transmitter on the Hope spacecraft cannot transmit electromagnetic signals from within a Star System to outside the galaxy.

The only Neutrino Communication capable of ignoring obstacles was the one used by the Moke Star Civilization.

"What's going on? What kind of broadcast message is it? Has the message been deciphered?" Yue Yuan rushed to the bridge and immediately asked three questions in quick succession.

But as soon as he spoke, he realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, as did the people around him.

Yue Yuan glanced at the bridge and noticed that the prominent cryptographer Taliya Sinskaia was not there, nor was the linguistics expert Lu Xiaofen, or even other linguistics and cryptography experts.

Inside the bridge, besides a group of staff on duty, were people who had been admiring the overview of the Wolf 1061 c Planet, such as Yi Kai, Liu Miyan, and Zhao Youqin.

Oh, wait, is that Chen Haiyu?

What's going on? Yue Yuan saw that Chen Haiyu was sitting in the seat that was originally occupied by the staff, but he was just raising his hands and not touching the keyboard on the workbench in front of him, as if he was frozen in place.

I remember now, Chen Haiyu has a job on the bridge of the Hope this month.

Yue Yuan leaned closer for a closer look and noticed that Chen Haiyu's neck seemed to be covered in a few beads of sweat. He wondered if it was from the content on the computer or from the exhaustion from running so fast earlier.

"Commander Yue, it should be an Interstellar Broadcast, but it doesn't have a dictionary at all, and what's most amazing is that the content of the message doesn't need to be deciphered at all. It doesn't even need to be translated!" At this moment, Man Yuemei came up and gave Yue Yuan a simple explanation.

This explanation only made Yue Yuan more confused.

What do you mean there's no dictionary? Is that still broadcasting? If it's broadcast information, it must be accompanied by a dictionary, otherwise, which civilization could understand it?

And what does it mean that it doesn't need translation? Does it mean the source of the information is Chinese? A sudden mental storm made Yue Yuan find it somewhat ridiculous. How could that be? Is Chinese the official language of the Milky Way Galaxy?

Is Chinese the orthodox language of the Milky Way Galaxy?

This joke seems to have gone a bit too far; I wonder if the civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy would laugh at it.

Seemingly noticing Yue Yuan's confusion, Man Yuemei continued to explain, "Literally, after we receive the information—no, not after, but the information is directly displayed on the screen of our Signal Receiver —it's in Chinese!"

Yue Yuan's eyelids twitched. Could the source of the information really be in Chinese? But then he thought again and realized that didn't make sense. Sending information in interstellar space isn't like speaking; there are no language distinctions. The carriers of information are either Electromagnetic Wave or Gravitational Wave!

"It just suddenly appeared in our receiver," Man Yuemei added.

Hearing her say that, Yue Yuan knew that she herself didn't know the specifics, so he took a few steps to walk behind Chen Haiyu's location, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

As he spoke, he looked at the computer screen.

Upon discovering that the code above was a series of lines, it seemed that Chen Haiyu was writing the code on the spot—a new set of program self-checking code.

"Chief, Professor Chen is checking whether the Hope satellite network has been compromised," replied Zhao Youqin, an information science expert who was also next to Chen Haiyu.

"Network intrusion?" Yue Yuan was startled.

"No, no signs of network intrusion have been found so far. Professor Chen is writing a new algorithm to do another test," Zhao Youqin replied quickly.

Before Yue Yuan could ask another question, Zhao Youqin continued to explain, "We received a message, which was immediately and automatically translated into a language we can understand within 1ms and displayed on the receiver's screen after being received by our receiver. Don't worry, Chief of Staff, our Signal Receiver is not directly connected to the Central Computer."
