The cold universe and the burning stars are so magnificent. Such enormity and heat are beyond the cognition of ordinary creatures, and they can only be drowned in this endless light and heat.
Now, in front of this dazzling sea of fire, a small spaceship slowly passed by, almost "sticking to" the huge fireball.
Inside the spacecraft, a red light flashed and various warning sounds continued to ring.
[Warning, warning, external observation components are damaged, and real-time positioning and navigation are not possible]
[J-2, J-7, W-4, C-1, block melted, isolation hatch lowered]
[The temperature control system is overloaded by 380% and enters a dormant cooling state]
[Automatic navigation based on previously observed star charts. Results cannot be guaranteed. Attention! Attention!]
[External anti-radiation panel deployed, expected to last 2 minutes and 16 seconds]
All systems below sleep priority 2 will have their full energy concentrated on the ramjet engine.
…
[External panels burned out, B2 and B3 areas began to be directly exposed to the star, and are expected to melt in 42 seconds]
[The temperature control system has finished sleeping and is restarting]
[The temperature dropped by 2%. The spacecraft is expected to leave the danger zone in 1 hour, 48 minutes and 32 seconds.]
…
[Backup observation equipment deployed successfully, repositioning and course correction commenced]
…
[Leaving the danger zone, the engine begins to slow down to prevent overload and burnout]
…
"call."
Xing was leaning against the corridor inside the spacecraft in a disheveled state, his composite space suit covered with burnt and twisted marks.
"Cough cough..." He coughed, then threw off the space suit that had become a burden. The serious wounds on his body were now slowly recovering.
After all, he was a Sequence 9 transcendent and would not die so easily. However, the crisis just now also made him feel a sense of danger. If he had not repositioned himself at the critical moment and let the spacecraft leave the danger zone, he would probably have fallen into the embrace of the star today and turned into black smoke and powder.
After regrouping, he walked down the corridor, opening each hatch until he entered the central core of the captain's cabin. Lelila was still inspecting the various modules and systems within the ship. Her deft hands moved through the input panels, like a thousand golden strings, issuing commands one after another. Her eyes flashed with a constant stream of data, like a humanoid AI.
Leaning against the wall, he found a circular hard chair to sit on and began to heal his wounds.
After a long time, the flickering screens and data in the room gradually decreased, and Lelila's movements also gradually slowed down.
Finally, all the screens turned off, she stood up, stepped on the magnetic floor, making a crisp sound, and walked to Xing.
"How is it going?"
The man in front of him opened his eyes. "I'm almost recovered. How about you?"
"I'm fine, but the module on the spacecraft is severely damaged. We have to consider landing early."
"Is there a supply point nearby?" Xing asked with a frown. He didn't remember that supplies for replenishing the spacecraft could be found anywhere, especially certain special materials with extraordinary properties. Most of them were formed in the first impact when the two universes overlapped.
"There are no scheduled supply points, but there is an autonomous mechanical engineering corps left by the ancients." As she spoke, Lelila opened the big screen.
[So far, this is the most comprehensive and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 tones, and supporting offline reading source switching. Huanyuanapp source switching app]
The highly detailed image zooms in, revealing a man-made space station in orbit around a distant gaseous planet.
The white special steel, the logo sprayed with the serial number, and the flashing lights on the space station all show that this creation from ten thousand years ago is still functioning normally.
"In order to construct the Star Crown at the center of the Milky Way, the Transcendents of the time deployed numerous autonomous machines to gather materials and resources. This is one of them. It's a K-7210-class hydrogen and helium collection station. It should have small, emergency spacecraft inside that could be used."
"You know how to use it? Things from the Transcendent Era are different from now."
"I've learned a little and know how to modify them." Lelila sat on a circular chair nearby, her long golden hair looking much darker under the purple neon light.
"The transcendents of the past lacked physical bodies, but when they descended into the mortal world, they would also need some convenient carriers. These carriers have a full range of functions."
"I understand. Let's do as you say." Xing simply nodded.
Among the seven virtues, although his combat ability can be ranked at the top, his academic ability is far inferior to that of the person in front of him, and he has always been too lazy to worry about this aspect.
Eight months later, the damaged spacecraft finally arrived at the designated collection space station and slowly leaned against its outer wall.
The four defense guns on the space station were still firing, continuously shooting at the approaching spacecraft, but they were all blocked by the outer golden shield with wing patterns.
"Warning, warning, illegal intrusion, illegal intrusion, has been reported to the Star Headquarters. The rescue fleet is about to set sail. Any of your actions will be judged by the Parliament's internal court. Please stop the intrusion immediately to reduce the severity of your crime!"
The spacecraft's screen displayed a warning signal from the space station.
"Ha, star headquarters, internal trial court? If so, we should thank God." Xing drove the spaceship closer and then let the spaceship extend its robotic arm to fix on the steel structure.
"The Age of Transcendents has ended for ten thousand years. Who still cares about the court? Besides, the person next to me is an active candidate for the Sun Crown. In terms of status and authority level, he is far superior to you, a small collection station AI." After completing the connection, Xing adjusted and fixed the settings, then walked down from the cockpit and went outside the cabin. There, an angel with two pairs of golden wings spread out was already waiting for him.
