Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 174 - 175 The Second Investigation Begin

Chapter 174: Chapter 175: The Second Investigation, Begin!

Chapter 174: Chapter 175: The Second Investigation, Begin!

The next day, in the central meeting room.

The clamor from the previous night did not affect the subsequent exploration; all the senior leaders quickly reached a consensus and issued the second space expedition’s operational plan.

“The experiment this time will first need to confirm whether the warp point within the High-dimensional Fragment can be traversed back and forth, and whether it is reliable…”

“That’s also the most important and dangerous point. If the warp point isn’t reliable, we’ll have to abandon this fragment.”

“So, you must return within 12 hours. If you don’t come back, we will consider the mission a complete failure…”

“It will also lose its value for research.”

Zhang Yuan nodded, “Understood!”

Standing to the side, Major Guo had a complex expression and sighed deeply. This kind of action was supposed to be carried out by soldiers like them. But in such a highly complex environment, without sufficient knowledge, it would be of no use and only lead to pointless death.

“So, this operation is named… Dimensional Shuttle!”

And so, clad in a space suit, wearing various electronic instruments, and with a large counterweight box on his back filled with various components, Zhang Yuan quietly waited near the High-dimensional Fragment.

Beam after beam of laser light shone upon it, and slowly, a scorching point of light appeared at the very center of the High-dimensional Fragment.

According to the experts’ calculations, the time the High-dimensional Fragment was activated depended on the received energy. Therefore, as long as its temperature reached a certain threshold, it would be briefly activated for just two to three seconds.

A mere few seconds would not cause significant damage to the spaceship.

At this moment, it was impossible not to feel tense.

Suddenly, a bright light flared up!

Zhang Yuan’s eyes widened. In just an instant, that feeling of impact, with a broader perspective, appeared again… Various human organs, cells, blood, including the spectators across the wall, a myriad of information surged through his mind.

Everything seemed transparent.

A brilliantly colorful world emerged before his eyes.

Almost all of the experts were observing from a distance. Even with mental preparation, they couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

The noisy voices quickly rose and fell in his headset: “Is this… the distortion of space? Why is this happening!”

“Quick, record it!”

“Even the light is being distorted…”

Once bitten, twice shy, the voices in the headset soon fell silent. This time, Zhang Yuan did not lose consciousness but was slightly disoriented for a few minutes.

He found himself alone in an empty space, exactly like the first time he had entered.

Dark and lonely.

If it weren’t for the sake of the grand plan for the future of civilization, Zhang Yuan would not have wanted to re-enter this dreadful place.

His own calf, which he had previously amputated, along with the discarded components from the toolbox, had disappeared.

It was somewhat baffling why these items had vanished so abruptly.

After thinking it over, the only explanation seemed to be the parallel universe hypothesis. That is to say, those things from before, and his current self, no longer belong to the same space-time continuum and naturally cannot be seen anymore.

The two missing soldiers likely followed the same principle.

Of course, his purpose this time wasn’t to investigate where the objects that had fallen here before had gone, but to repeat the entire escape process and record it completely.

And…

An even more important point!

The moment he had just entered, he had a high-dimensional perspective of the entire spaceship again!

This perspective had been thoroughly recorded by the multitude of instruments on the space suit.

“Senior Brother Zhao went to great lengths to prepare so many instruments for himself; it must be for this reason.”

“If we analyze it, perhaps we can make some unexpected discoveries.”

Let’s begin!

…

Captain Zhao Qingfeng anxiously waited in the monitoring room.

How could one take lightly such a great terror coming from alien life?

He heard a group of scientists excitedly discussing, with a bittersweet knowledge in his heart.

Yet, no orders could be directly spoken aloud.

Eight days, no, it had already been nine!

Perhaps the other side had already deciphered human language?

If the interlocutor heard this conversation and took preventive measures, it would be even harder to locate it… Even, the intruder might have compromised the computer systems inside the spaceship, and all the surveillance footage people saw could have been altered.

This worst-case scenario was not impossible!

Thus, all appearances of relaxation, sleeping, and even proceeding with the exploration plan as scheduled were just a façade.

“If there isn’t any high-dimensional life, all of this is tantamount to acting, frightening ourselves, and we suffer no loss;”

“But if it truly exists, then…”

He didn’t know if Zhang Yuan could understand his intentions, but he was secretly anxious.

The surrounding professors were huddled together, discussing the various properties of high-dimensional space in low voices that grew louder and louder, their expressions becoming fanatical, irritating him to no end.

“Major Guo! Are you ready?” Captain Zhao suddenly called out loudly to a burly man at the door.

“Ready!”

“Deploy some soldiers to the living area, always prepared to maintain order on the spaceship, to avoid stampede incidents during chaos… the rest, guard the key positions. If necessary… you are authorized to use weapons!”

“Yes!” A phalanx of armed soldiers already waiting at the door saluted him in unison.

Zhao Qingfeng did not know if these soldiers, equipped with simple weapons like rifles, would be effective, but he sent them anyway.

The soldiers’ arrival did not cause too much panic among the people. Those unaware of the truth thought the soldiers were there to prevent any chaos that might erupt from the High-dimensional Fragment… even if it was just a low-probability event.

They had no idea that a monster might already be roaming inside the spaceship!

As time ticked by second by second, the High-dimensional Fragment showed no activity. These 12 hours were excruciatingly tough, and Major Guo was extremely tense, guarding the door while licking his dry lips.

He would now rather face a tangible alien lifeform or parasite than combat some high-dimensional life. He didn’t even know what Captain Zhao was thinking; surely he couldn’t have truly let his guard down?

The soldiers underneath him were also ignorant of the situation, yet the serious expression of their commanding officer made them vaguely aware of something.

If it was truly an intangible lifeform…

First and foremost, how should they fight it?

Mulling over this, Major Guo felt cold sweat streaming down his back.
