Yorktown Base

An Yang held his gun, on routine patrol inside the starship.

This was actually just a necessary formality, because riots rarely occurred inside the starship, and violent clashes were even scarcer.

People often fought on the Eighteenth Floor, but they usually resolved things themselves, completely bypassing the need for internal security personnel like them to intervene. Yet for a starship that could be called a diplomatic aircraft carrier amid the sea of stars, this formality was essential, and it had to be executed quite cleanly. Laziness would certainly invite a reprimand if caught by the security officer.

An Yang naturally did not care about these things, since this starship would plummet before long, and most people would die.

He was standing with his gun in front of a sufficiently large window, gazing at the deep-space scenery outside the starship where enormous stars flashed by endlessly against a dark blue background, feeling somewhat shocked in his heart.

Is this warp flight?

An Yang knew the universe appeared dark blue at this moment because there were more water molecules in this stellar region, causing the light emitted by stars to scatter upon hitting water molecules or other objects. Meanwhile, longer-wavelength light such as red light possessed greater penetrating power and resisted scattering, resulting in shorter-wavelength light like violet and blue being the ones that mostly scattered, thus presenting a deep blue.

The sky appeared blue for this very reason as well.

In fact, many regions of the universe were filled with light, but the human eye could not actively capture light; light only actively entered the human eye.

Moreover, light typically traveled in a straight line, and without anything making it refract, the human eye could not see light. Thus, in the relatively empty universe, the backgrounds were all black. Even when
