Reverie

No thruster nozzles?!

The people present were taken aback. They hadn't noticed this before, and now that Gao Kun had brought it up, they hadn't noticed that the flying saucers drawn in the sky had thruster nozzles.

That means that the UFO possesses technology far beyond that of humans.

The depiction doesn't show any helicopter-like spiral clamps on the flying saucer. The technology that allows it to levitate in the air is something that even the world's top scientists don't know the principle behind.

Well, based on humanity's current Technology Tree development, it might be some kind of Anti-Gravity Technology. But Anti-Gravity Technology is too mysterious; humanity doesn't even understand what Gravity is, let alone Anti-Gravity.

It can be said that Anti-Gravity Technology is just a concept in the current Technology Tree of humankind, a mere pipe dream without any theoretical basis.

According to the definition of Anti-Gravity, it must be some kind of force that repels Gravity. Humanity currently doesn't even know the prerequisite technology for such a technology, or even what the prerequisite technology for that prerequisite is.

Of course, to put it another way, it could also be some kind of Magnetic Levitation technology.

But for something as large as this iron lump to fly freely inside a planet, how strong must its magnetic field be to interact with the planet's own magnetic field and allow it to move freely?

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Yue Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be Warp Engine?"

"Absolutely impossible." Liu Miyan immediately shook his head and said, "Chief, although we are still far from the Grand Unified Theory, we have a Warp Engine. According to our physics theory, Warp Speed Travel inside a planet should be a very dangerous thing. To put it another way, even if we could Warp Speed Travel, it would not be like floating in the air."

"Is it possible that this is some kind of derivative technology resulting from the realization of the Grand Unified Theory?" Yue Yuan asked again.

When asked this question, Liu Miyan didn't answer, but simply shrugged, his meaning clear: I don't know.

Seeing this, Yue Yuan couldn't say anything. After all, humanity was only Level 2 Civilization, and the theory that was defined as Level 4 Civilization by the Cosmic Civilizations couldn't be known by mere guesswork.

Yue Yuan nodded to Liu Miyan first, and said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, then let's not worry about the technological content of the UFOs for now. We just need to know that the civilization to which these UFOs belong has a technological strength far beyond ours."

"So, we have a lot more to do now. Exploring a planet is not something that can be done overnight. Blindly searching is not only inefficient but also a waste of time. Let the Exploration Team continue to follow the clues from the Donglai Kingdom."

At this point, Yue Yuan turned to Long Xiaolin, who had been standing behind him, and asked, "By the way, Xiaolin, what's the name of the Exploration Team's captain?"

"Wu Xiaoli, female, 795 years old, with a master's degree in history and linguistics." Long Xiaolin, who was well-prepared, immediately relayed the information of the Exploration Team leader as if it were a treasure.

"Alright, give her a major credit and a reward of 100,000 Contribution Coins. Go and inform her to expand the current exploration team. I'll give her ten years. In ten years, I need to know more about the Flying Saucer Civilization. Also, inform Zhu Pete to allocate a transport ship from the Security Department for Wu Xiaoli's use." Yue Yuan thought for a moment and decided to become a hands-off manager.

"Yes, Chief of Staff." Long Xiaolin wrote down Yue Yuan's words, then turned and walked out of the bridge.

Human transport ships are the largest means of transportation within a civilization, followed by transport vessels, and then smaller transport boats.

In modern human society, civilian-grade equipment generally consists of transport boats and ships; those with the word "ship" in their name are under military control. Additionally, there are Tactical Armor, which are also entirely controlled by the military. Users of Tactical Armor are either military personnel or scientists whose Tactical Armor is registered in a Central Computer database.

As for civilian use, activities on planets generally require only lightweight Spacesuit and transport ships.

The fact that Yue Yuan is giving the transport ship to Wu Xiaoli's Exploration Team shows that the New Government attaches great importance to this matter.

This discovery also made the people present more deeply aware of the dangers of the universe and the prevalence of civilization.

According to human observation, this area is located on the Arm Edge. From the perspective of star density, it is a desolate and barren place, a place where even birds wouldn't bother.

In such a remote star field, not only is there an indigenous civilization, but there are also traces of visits from advanced civilizations.

In a daze, Yue Yuan suddenly had another feeling, a feeling that countless advanced civilizations were hidden within those dark stars.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall what Yu Nanfeng had mentioned about UFOs.

He used to scoff at the UFO legends of the 20th and 21st centuries, but now that belief is wavering.

Perhaps aliens really did visit Earth.

If UFOs are real, could they be related to the bombing of the Solar System?

Although the Solar System and the Centaurus Trinary Star System were destroyed in the 22nd century, a mere century or two is but a blink of an eye for interstellar civilizations.

Is it possible that alien probes came, discovered Earth, sent information to their warships, and then, two hundred years later, the warships arrived and destroyed the Solar System and the Centaurus Trinary Star System?

But why is that?

Could it be that there is a civilization in the Centaurus Trinary Star System?

Furthermore, this inference of destroying Life Planet completely contradicts the argument that Life Planet are precious. So, which one is correct? Is this vast, civilized universe Dark Forest? Or a Great Filter? Or a fragmented system of power? Or perhaps some other form? Or is it a complex mixture of multiple forms coexisting?

Just as Yue Yuan was getting lost in thought, Gan De's steady voice rang out. "Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff?"

"Hmm, I just had a brainstorming session. Academician Gan, where were we?" Yue Yuan asked quickly after his eyes Qingming.

Gan De said, "It's still about the UFO. Chief of Staff, it seems we've overlooked something."

"Oh? What did Academician Gan discover?" Yue Yuan's eyes lit up. Could it be that Gan De had discovered something from the stone carvings in such a short time?

Thinking this, he continued, "Could the time be recorded on the stone wall? Or something else?"

"Uh..." Upon hearing Yue Yuan's question, Gan De realized that his Chief Yue had indeed been spacing out.

However, although he knew this, he couldn't say it so bluntly. Instead, he repeated what he had just said to Yu Nanfeng, Liu Miyan, and Gao Kun: "Chief, we think that the fact that this star system is so clean might be related to UFOs."
