Sorry, You Got Nothing

"Master, the Nine-stage light ship has passed. We'll reach the meteorite impact site in about ten minutes. However, the area near the center is under martial law and closed to navigation, so we can only anchor nearby."

Hearing this, Chu Feng finally showed some interest. He'd found it! And it seemed like there weren't any problems yet!

Standing on the observation deck of the yacht, the waves caused by the meteorite impact were gone. The waves were much smaller than predicted. It wasn't typhoon season in June, and the weather was clear and sunny, perfect for viewing.

The area within five nautical miles of Daji Mountain had been designated a no-sail zone, so the yacht was anchored just outside the perimeter.

Giant floating cranes were moving up and down on the sea, lifting unknown equipment. Patrol boats were constantly circling the area, preventing any unauthorized vessels from entering.

Meanwhile, Xue Qing was broadcasting, providing explanations based on the high-frequency conversations.

However, Chu Feng's attention was no longer on any of this.

"Xiao Meng, contact the spaceship AI."

"Yes, Master. Contacting the spaceship AI..."

"Zzz... Zzz..."

A string of static sounded in Chu Feng's mind. Chu Feng knew this was Xiao Meng establishing a link with the spaceship AI.

Although Xiao Meng could contact the spaceship AI from a distance, the AI wouldn't grant access until it confirmed Chu Feng's brainwave frequency.

"Please enter password."

"85467346."

"Password confirmed. Verifying brainwave frequency..."

"Verification successful. Welcome back, Captain. Dream Weaver AI is pleased to serve you!"

Chu Feng had actually complained at first. He thought the password setting was so old-fashioned, especially when technology was so advanced. Even his hometown used fingerprints and eye scans.

He never expected the AI to give him a thorough lesson.

It turned out that fingerprints and eye scans were also popular on Planet Taibo in the past.

However, many drawbacks were gradually discovered. Fingerprint and eye scan information was too easily leaked. Some criminals even went as far as to harm victims to obtain their fingerprints and eyeballs, directly extracting them from living bodies.

In the end, they had to resort to a dual security system of passwords and brainwaves.

"Dream Weaver, how did you end up on Earth?"

Chu Feng was a bit confused.

"Captain, according to the Dream Weaver AI's records, after the Captain abandoned ship in the escape pod, the spaceship was caught in a spacetime storm and instantly transported near Earth. Due to the electromagnetic interference from the spacetime storm, the AI couldn't properly control the spaceship's operation. It could only barely manage the flight, descending towards the Captain's last known signal location. The spaceship's communication equipment was also damaged as a result."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Chu Feng couldn't do anything but take it one step at a time.

"Dream Weaver, check the spaceship's current condition and send it to me."

Chu Feng's biggest concern now was the spaceship's condition. He hoped it hadn't sustained too much damage, as he would need it in the future.

"Yes, Captain. Initiating self-diagnostic system..."

"Central Power Control Room: Energy rod consumption 12.4%, reserve energy unconsumed."

"Electromagnetic Defense Module: Damage rate 42.3%, immediate repair recommended."

"Main Hull: No damage."

"Main Stealth Device: Damage rate 11.3%, can continue to be used, repair recommended."

"Spatial Storage Folding Device: Affected by impact, storage locker #32 lost. Other storage lockers preserved."

"Propulsion Energy System: Functioning normally."

"Energy Recycling System: Functioning normally."

"Anti-gravity System: Functioning normally."

"Main Defense Module: Main cannon particle kinetic energy cannon functioning normally. Three secondary cannons, one lost, no replacement materials available, repair not recommended."

"Secondary Defense Module: Sixty-eight laser defense cannons functioning normally."

"Escape Equipment: Used once, five uses remaining."

"Communication Equipment: Long-range interstellar communication equipment damaged by 56.4%, communication abnormal, unable to transmit signals, repair recommended."

"Interstellar Positioning System: Malfunctioning, unable to send positioning or distress signals."

"Fortunately, there aren't any major issues. No wonder the signal was so bad. The spaceship's communication equipment should have been able to traverse the solar system without any problems. So it was damaged."

But Chu Feng was also sweating with surprise. It was good that it was damaged, otherwise, if the spaceship had sent out a distress signal, wouldn't others have found out?

"Dream Weaver, can you move now?"

"Captain, I can move now!"

"Warning, warning, scanning detected above the spaceship, potential threat detected. Do you wish to clear it?"

"No!"

Chu Feng exclaimed in shock.

Hearing Chu Feng's voice, Xue Qing turned to look at him.

"What's wrong, Brother Chu?"

"Nothing, I mean, why hasn't it been salvaged yet? It's almost evening."

Chu Feng changed the subject.

"Yeah, it's been a whole day and they still haven't found it. I don't know where it went, it clearly fell here. Could this meteorite be invisible?"

Xue Qing also replied in confusion.

It would be a miracle if it could be salvaged. The spaceship's energy was abundant, and its cloaking system was operating normally.

You wouldn't be able to detect its presence even if you walked right up to it.

Furthermore, electromagnetic waves and the like couldn't detect a spaceship with a defense field.

Through the spaceship's holographic modeling projection, Chu Feng saw a holographic projection of the spaceship's current location.

In the slightly murky yellow seawater, the spaceship lay quietly on the seabed, with submersibles constantly searching around it. The closest one was less than ten meters away.

"No wonder the spaceship issued a warning."

Chu Feng sighed inwardly.

He absolutely couldn't let the spaceship retaliate. Chu Feng knew the power of its main cannon too well; it could accidentally blast through Water Blue Star.

Who could handle that? It would bring about the end of the world.

However, Chu Feng was also a bit troubled about how to deal with the spaceship. He couldn't just leave it there to grow weeds.

But this spaceship was 142 meters long and 56 meters wide. If he wanted to get inside such a large object, he'd have to find a quiet, secluded place. Otherwise, if someone saw him, they'd think he was an alien.

Even though it was an alien technological spaceship.

"Dream Weaver, follow the route I sent you. Head into the river first, and we'll make further arrangements later."

Chu Feng immediately sent the route to the Dream Weaver. Fortunately, Hailing was a city along the river.

He remembered there was an islet in the middle of the river near the Hailing Bridge. Because it was a sandbar formed by sediment deposition, the water level was low, and transportation was inconvenient, so no one lived there. It was a good place for temporary storage.

"Dream Weaver, activate and move away from here. Head directly into the river. Avoid ships on the way and do not use weapons! You are permitted to use repair robots to autonomously repair damaged equipment, and forcibly shut down the positioning equipment to prevent signal transmission."

Chu Feng issued the command.

"Yes, Captain, I obey your orders!"

The spaceship activated silently, without alerting anyone. Even the small fish swimming around the spaceship didn't notice this behemoth.

It stirred up some silt, scaring away some small fish and shrimp.

Afterward, the spaceship left the area surrounded by a host of submersibles.

Meanwhile, the busy crowd on the sea continued their work, with some news reporters even following them.

But sorry, you guys searched in vain.
