Chapter 356 We can choose our own place now!
The white light reappeared and then dissipated, and Zhou Jue returned to the time-traveling room once again.
Outside the glass door, Chief Zhang, Chen Jianguo, Sun Jiuchou, and several other familiar faces were present.
Their expressions were relaxed, with a calm "I knew it" attitude.
After all, this time we're going to a "safe" world.
Routine disinfection procedures begin.
Zhou Jue stood quietly, but his mind was racing.
In the final days, she was almost in a state of decentralization, spending her days either observing StarNet users or traveling around the world with Tongzi to find good things, and incidentally upgrading the Starburst Box.
After the upgrade, the Starry Sky Box had more spiritual energy and a larger area. Zhou Jue felt that his control and understanding of space had improved.
I also used the remaining luck points to buy an upgrade item for the system, but I haven't used it yet.
[Host! We're back!]
[Ding! System upgrade initiation, estimated time 3 minutes.]
The system's voice sounded, and Zhou Jue's eyelids twitched.
So fast?
Three...two...one...
[Upgrade complete! Universal Coordinate Anchoring System version 5.0 is at your service!]
[Unlock core functionality: Active navigation module.]
Immediately afterwards, the system announced in her mind in an almost jubilant electronic voice.
[Host! We can now choose our own place to go!]
Zhou Jue's heart skipped a beat.
Active navigation means that she will be completely freed from the situation of passively accepting tasks.
They can choose their own goals and plan their own routes.
The disinfection process is complete, and the door is open.
"Xiao Jue, you're back."
Commander Zhang greeted him with a smile, showing no sign of nervousness.
"Did it go smoothly this time? Consider it a long vacation for you."
"Grandpa Zhang, apart from a little mishap, I really had a long vacation this time," Zhou Jue said with a smile.
"A little incident?"
"It's not a big deal, but we did have an unexpected gain this time."
Zhou Jue said, "Let's go to the conference room. The things I brought back might need Grandpa Zhang or someone else to analyze them."
...
It was the same familiar conference room.
Zhou Jue did not sit down. She walked directly to the main screen and asked the system to project the recorded content onto the screen.
"This is an item I bought while doing a quest in that world, and it's what I recorded."
"This thing can help us understand some aspects of interstellar life."
Her words made everyone present hold their breath.
The screen lights up, revealing a completely unfamiliar interface, but it's still easy to tell that it's a website, an information platform.
Everyone watched in silence.
The first scene is about a scandalous affair involving a royal family of a certain empire.
In the conference room, several bigwigs looked serious. They knew that this was now confirmed: there was an extraterrestrial civilization, and their technology was far more advanced than theirs.
Zhou Jue pressed fast forward.
The screens switch rapidly, from entertainment gossip to social news and then to economic indices.
Finally, the screen freezes on a locked section—[Imperial Military Technology Frontier].
Upon seeing this headline, Chief Zhang and Chen Jianguo unconsciously straightened their backs.
Zhou Jue clicked play.
Feasibility Report on the Application of "Ghost" Series Stealth Coatings to the CR-7 Starfighter
The Academia Sinica releases a new energy shield force field model, increasing peak defense efficiency by 37%.
Latest discovery: Planet G-581 contains ultra-high purity "ore," potentially altering the empire's energy landscape.
Each headline struck like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart.
Stealth coatings, interstellar fighters, energy shields, exoplanets...
These terms, which only exist in science fiction movies, are now being presented clearly to them in the form of a report.
The entire conference room was so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats.
"This...this is real?"
Chen Jianguo spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"Absolutely true."
Zhou Jue's tone was completely calm.
"This is a real civilization that has entered the interstellar age, and their StarNet network information."
She fixed her gaze on the report about planet G-581.
Star map coordinates, geological exploration data, elemental analysis charts... everything is detailed to an outrageous degree.
"That's the key point."
Zhou Jue pointed to the star map coordinates on the screen.
"I've compared this coordinate map with the Milky Way galaxy where our planet is located, and they are very similar."
"But I don't have concrete evidence."
At this point, Zhou Jue paused for a moment and asked the system.
"Brother Tongzi, after you upgraded, you could locate planets, right? Can you pinpoint these coordinates now?"
【Sure, host! I'm coming right now!】
[Coordinate input in progress... Coordinate positioning in progress...]
Location successful!
[Host, this planet is indeed in the Milky Way galaxy, the same galaxy as our Blue Star!]
[It's 31.86942 billion light-years away from our planet!]
Zhou Jue looked up at everyone, his expression solemn:
"My system tells me that this planet belongs to the same universe as our Blue Star, and is about 31.8 billion light-years away from Blue Star."
Everyone was taken aback by Zhou Jue's words.
While everyone is searching for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, today, first the existence of interstellar space has been confirmed, and now we have learned of another planet in the same universe as our blue planet.
For a moment, no one knew how to start the conversation.
Zhou Jue paused, and seeing that no one spoke, pointed to the encrypted chat log again and continued:
"And this too."
[Boss, information about G-581 has been leaked to the internal communication network. Those old guys in the military will probably make a move soon.]
It's just fake information; let them argue about it.
[Fake...fake? Then what about the real mine...?]
Someone has already been sent over.
"This publicly available information is fake."
This means two things.
"First, there is intense political struggle within this interstellar civilization."
"Secondly, they possess interstellar travel capabilities far beyond our imagination, enabling them to send people to an unknown star system without being detected."
"If G-581 is really in our galaxy, then the real mineral veins may be right next to us. Perhaps, the enemy's people have already arrived."
"hiss……"
A collective gasp filled the conference room.
This conclusion is too alarming.
That means that, without anyone's knowledge, a fleet from the depths of space may have quietly infiltrated your neighbor's backyard.
Chief Zhang remained silent for a long time. He slowly stood up, walked to the screen, and stared intently at the cold coordinates.
His eyes were more solemn than ever before.
"Immediately establish a top-level analysis team!"
He turned around, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable force.
"These screen recordings must be reviewed word by word! Analyzed! Don't miss any information!"
"besides!"
He looked at Chen Jianguo.
"Establish a special task force to tackle every single technical term mentioned in this video—invisibility coating, energy shield, and so on!"
"They've already gone to heaven, we can't still be crawling on the ground!"
"yes!"
Chen Jianguo immediately stood at attention and replied.
"I will organize all the necessary materials after the meeting and hand them over to Staff Officer Chen."
"Okay!" Chen Jianguo nodded.
"Xiao Jue, give me a copy of this video. I need to leave now to report to the boss!" Zhang turned to Zhou Jue.
"good!"
The meeting ended, and everyone hurriedly left, each carrying a heavy responsibility.
