Chapter 2 Wither X800 Series Virus
As the Cosmic Pioneer approached the machine planet, Maurice, who had been sitting in the control room with a look of surprise on his face, suddenly frowned.
"No! Before I left, the sky above the Mechanical Planet was clear and not shrouded in this gray fog!"
As he spoke, he increased the screen resolution, trying to see what the gray fog actually was.
However, even with the resolution set to the highest level, he still couldn't make out what was wrapped in the gray fog.
Before the adults could give any instructions, Matt had already released his mental net. However, as soon as his mental energy approached the gray fog, he immediately sensed an unsettling, foul aura.
“Sir, although the composition of this gray fog is still unclear, it is definitely harmful to humans. If the surface of a planet is covered by such fog, ordinary humans on that planet would probably not be able to survive,” Matt said with a grave expression.
"Chestnut, was the air composition on your mechanical planet suitable for human survival before?" Xiaobai asked.
"When I left more than 300 years ago, the Mechanical Star looked down from space and was a beautiful green planet."
The reason why the mechanical planet appears green is because its atmosphere contains a special component called emerald oxygen, which causes it to appear green when reflected by cosmic light.
"This gray fog... I know nothing about it. I'm starting to worry that the mechanical planet might have suffered some terrible disaster after I left," Mao Li said anxiously.
"Do you have any way to contact your people?" Xiaobai asked.
“My personal computer is destroyed and cannot connect to the star network of the Flowing Light Galaxy. The only way at the moment is to go to the nearest Silverwing Star to take a look,” Mao Li said.
After all, he had been gone for over three hundred years. Anything could happen in such a long time, although he didn't want anything to happen to his home planet.
Given the current situation, if they rashly enter the mechanical planet, he cannot guarantee that they will have a chance to escape unscathed.
If he were the only person on the ship, he would have rushed in without hesitation. But there were so many other people, especially Zuo Shan, who was unconscious and waiting for treatment. He couldn't take her with him on this dangerous mission.
Hearing him say this, everyone agreed with his opinion. After all, having left Green Algae Star and come to this unfamiliar star system, they knew nothing about this place.
Mao Li selected a new spatial node and began a new round of spatial jumps. This time, he jumped twice in total and arrived near another planet.
The planet's atmosphere looks silvery, with its edges resembling two silver wings, hence its name, Silverwing Star.
However, just as the spaceship entered the atmosphere of Silverwing Star, a stern mechanical voice rang out in the main control room:
"Warning! Warning! Spaceships from other planets, please proceed along the designated orbit and dock at the stratosphere quarantine station on Silverwing Star for unified quarantine. Otherwise, you will be considered an aggressor and subjected to a devastating attack by the quantum annihilation device!"
This message was forcibly inserted and automatically looped. Fortunately, Mao Li had previously imported the translation software from the Flowing Light Galaxy into the control room; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to understand it and would have been killed without even realizing it.
Upon hearing this warning, everyone turned to look at Mao Li.
"I've been to many planets before I left, and I've never received such a warning. Could it be that some terrible infectious virus has appeared in the Flowing Light Galaxy?" Mao Li's voice was tinged with panic.
But now that we've already entered the atmosphere of Silverwing Star, what if we turn around and try to escape? We might get attacked.
After all, their spaceship came from Chensha Star in the Xuanji Galaxy, a star with a technological civilization lower than that of the Liuguang Galaxy. Even though Maoli had repaired its defense system, it could only cope with the impact of cosmic rays and meteorite belts.
This so-called quantum annihilation device had not yet been invented when Mao Li left, and its power was immeasurable, far beyond what the ship's defense system could withstand.
Now, there is no choice but to obey.
Mao Li was even starting to regret it. If he had known this would happen, he should have been more cautious and gone directly to the central star of the Liuguang Galaxy—Mianlong Star, which was the safest place in the entire galaxy.
But what's done is done, and there's no point in regretting it now; we can only take it one step at a time.
To everyone's astonishment, a two-meter-wide orange-yellow band of light appeared in front of the aircraft carrier, with green arrows on it, like road signs, indicating their direction.
The chestnut propelled the aircraft carrier forward along the band of light. Soon, a two-story aerial structure resembling a space station appeared ahead. This should be the space quarantine station mentioned in the warning.
In front of the space quarantine station were dozens of metal staircases. On the three staircases on the left, three spaceships of different shapes were moored. The Space Pioneer was moored on the fourth staircase.
Then, an arched door suddenly opened on the first floor of the space quarantine station, and a car with an arched transparent cover drove out.
The vehicle drove to the bottom of the aircraft carrier's spiral staircase, and then a light shield resembling a docking channel suddenly extended from the front of the vehicle, directly covering the aircraft carrier's exit.
The hatch opened automatically, and the next second, everyone felt a cool sensation on their wrists as a thin, transparent patch, about the size of a band-aid, was placed on their wrists.
Then a relatively soft, female mechanical voice came through: "We have detected that all passengers on this spaceship are alien travelers, and none of them are carrying translators. To facilitate communication, we have implanted bio-translation chips in everyone free of charge. Please line up to enter the initial screening vehicle for preliminary quarantine. Please do not crowd or trample!"
Such advanced procedures made everyone on the aircraft carrier, except for Mao Li, feel like country bumpkins who had come to the city.
Mao Li was the first to walk from the exit into the photomask and enter the initial inspection vehicle.
The next second, a purple halo enveloped his entire body.
A few seconds later, the gentle, mechanical female voice sounded again:
"After initial quarantine, your body does not carry the Wither X800 series virus, and your health index reaches 92. Congratulations on passing the initial quarantine!"
Please proceed to the rear safety isolation area and wait for further detailed quarantine procedures.
Lele followed closely behind with Xiaobao, but when they arrived at the entrance of the initial inspection vehicle, a gentle female voice reminded them: "Please enter separately from your pet. Only one person can be inspected at a time. Thank you for your cooperation!"
Helpless, Lele had no choice but to let Xiaobao go first.
The same purple light enveloped Xiaobao, and he passed the test smoothly. Lele followed suit and also passed the test.
Xiao Bai, carrying the left fan, walked to the entrance. A gentle female voice announced, "This lady is currently unconscious. Please place her in our free medical pod for testing and treatment."
Soon, a robot pushed a sealed, transparent capsule filled with green liquid in front of Xiaobai.
He looked at the medical pod with a wary expression, having no intention of putting the person in his arms inside.
Mao Li stood up from the back row and gave him a reassuring gesture. Xiao Bai had no choice but to hold Zuo Shan and carefully approach. The transparent pod automatically opened its top cover the moment he got close, and he put Zuo Shan into the green liquid.
"After initial quarantine, your body does not carry the Wither X800 series virus, and you have passed the initial quarantine."
However, the medical pod detected that your health index is only 15, far below 60. The medical pod will perform vital organ recovery treatment for you. Please wait patiently…
Hearing this notification sound, Xiaobai was both amused and exasperated. The patient was already unconscious, how could she possibly hear the notification?
