While Wang Yuxi was directing the staff in the command center to search for the alien spaceship.
In the deep space 0.2 light-years from the solar system, the once tranquil and lifeless space suddenly began to ripple.
These ripples, like waves on water, spread out continuously, breaking the silence of this interstellar space.
Immediately afterwards, a rift was torn open in space, and a magnificent, triangular spaceship flew out from it.
This spacecraft is enormous, nearly 50,000 meters long and almost 30,000 meters wide at its widest point.
Its hull surface gleamed with a cold metallic luster, covered with various complex mechanical structures and weapon systems, which, together with the scimitar-piercing star pattern on the hull, exuded a solemn and terrifying aura.
Inside the enormous spaceship control room.
With a head resembling an octopus, the alien Moka checked the data and said to the leader behind him, "Boss, our calculations are correct. After passing through that wormhole, we have indeed arrived at the edge of the solar system. The planet with intelligent life is just ahead."
The leader, with the same appearance, revealed a cruel smile on his ugly face and said, "Release the detectors, and tell the children to prepare for the hunt. We're off to make our fortune!"
"Boss, should we send out Shadow to scout ahead?" Moka suggested.
"They're just a bunch of natives who haven't even left their home planet. There's no need to be so careful," the chief said nonchalantly.
“Sometimes, cosmic civilizations experience a technological explosion, making rapid progress in a very short period of time. Although the probability of this is extremely low, we should still be cautious,” Moka said.
"You're right, we should be careful."
The chieftain thought for a moment, then said excitedly, "If what you say is true, then the price of these natives will increase several times over. Send Shadow out to investigate!"
Moka nodded, and its tentacles connected to an interface on the control panel.
Instantly, the orders were issued to all locations on the spacecraft.
Then, several shadowy figures flew out from the bottom of the triangular spaceship.
After leaving the spaceship, these shadows quickly merged into the void and flew towards the solar system at near the speed of light.
This enormous spaceship continued its journey toward the solar system at 20% the speed of light.
Because they underestimated their enemy, the aliens did not thoroughly explore the surrounding space.
Unbeknownst to these aliens, a probe hundreds of millions of kilometers away in space captured the moment they leaped out of space.
This is the probe that Ye Chen launched in all directions when he captured Voyager 1.
Perhaps it was God's help to humanity, as the probe numbered 9527 happened to fly nearby and captured this scene.
Using its built-in quantum communication instrument, it quickly transmitted the observed information back to Earth.
It was this good fortune that allowed humanity to receive information about the arrival of the alien spaceship a year earlier than expected.
Otherwise, according to the original calculations, the alien spacecraft would arrive in the solar system at least ten years from now.
All of humanity's preparations were carried out according to this estimated time.
It was already late at night on Earth.
In the stillness of the night, Ye Chen and Wang Yuxi lay close together, embracing each other as they slept.
Suddenly, a hurried sound came from inside the bedroom.
Ye Chen and Wang Yuxi opened their eyes instantly. Ye Chen's expression changed drastically; this was the highest level of alarm.
Since this rule was established, it has never been heard.
"Tomoko, what happened?" he asked hurriedly, sitting up.
"Master, just now, probe 9527 detected traces of an unfamiliar spaceship at a distance of 0.2 light-years from the solar system. Based on our analysis, this is the alien spaceship we are looking for," Zhizi's voice sounded from the bedside.
"What! 0.2 light-years!"
Wang Yuxi exclaimed in surprise and quickly sat up, disregarding the fact that her upper body was exposed, and asked, "Could there be a mistake?"
Ye Chen took a breath and calmly ordered, "Project the information collected by detector 9527."
"Yes, Master!"
Soon, images captured by detector 9527 appeared in the bedroom.
As the imposing triangular spaceship leaped out of the void, Ye Chen and Wang Yuxi exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and worry in each other's eyes.
Their fears actually came true; the alien spaceship traversed the wormhole and arrived near the solar system in no time.
Humanity's crisis has arrived ahead of schedule!
......
The atmosphere inside the space command center was tense and oppressive.
Ye Chen and Wang Yuxi stared intently at the images on the big screen, their faces serious and their expressions tense.
Around them, whether staff or soldiers, everyone wore somber expressions and remained silent, creating a heavy atmosphere throughout the command post.
On the way to the space command center, Ye Chen ordered all astronomical telescopes to be turned toward the direction in which the alien spacecraft appeared, so that the situation of the alien spacecraft could be observed more clearly.
At this moment, the screen displays an analytical diagram of the first batch of observed alien spacecraft.
Although the images captured are still blurry due to the alien spacecraft's high-speed movement, its basic outline is already visible.
At that moment, everyone's heart was in their throats. They knew that the alien spaceship would soon arrive, and humanity didn't have much time left.
Humanity's most important second-stage spacecraft has only just begun construction and will take at least ten years to complete!
"How long will it take for the alien spaceship to enter the solar system?" Ye Chen asked.
Zhizi replied, "According to calculations, the alien spaceship is traveling at about 20% of the speed of light and will enter the Kuiper Belt in approximately 389 years."
"A year?" Ye Chen frowned slightly and murmured, "There's still a chance!"
Hearing his mutterings, Wang Yuxi looked directly at him and whispered, "Didn't you say that some core components of a level two spaceship need to conform to the rules of this universe and cannot be built inside the cave?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I've done the calculations. Most of the construction can be completed inside, and then the final step of production can be done outside, followed by assembly and testing. This should take a little over a year."
"The alien spaceship has only reached the edge of the solar system in a year. Based on the intelligence we have gathered so far, humanity is not without the ability to fight back."
"Once we enter the solar system, the spaceship's speed will definitely decrease significantly. Although our solar system defense perimeter cannot repel the enemy, it can still slow down their advance!"
"If we can delay the alien spacecraft for more than six months, then our second-level spacecraft can go into battle, and we will also have the strength to take the initiative and fight against the enemy!"
