My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 223 - Chapter 223 223 Ive come to find you

Chapter 223: 223 I’ve come to find you Chapter 223: 223 I’ve come to find you Chen Xu, following Taichu’s instructions, took the Number Zero Transport Capsule to the core of the spaceship, the cockpit.

The space here was large, divided into upper and lower levels with many empty seats, suggesting that in the past, many people must have worked here.

On the upper level, there was a core control panel, the position representing the highest authority of the spaceship. Chen Xu walked over and stood at that spot.

From here, he could see all the seats on both levels.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a light screen lit up in front of him, displaying a very cartoonish face, “Chen Xu, currently, the spaceship is facing a significant threat. According to the emergency plan for critical crises, as the only human on board, you automatically become the temporary captain and possess the highest decision-making power.”

He pondered thoughtfully, “So, at this time, I have the authority to do anything?”

“Yes.”

“Can I pay myself a salary?”

“You may.”

Chen Xu promptly began operating the console in front of him, setting the temporary captain’s salary at one million credit points per day. With limited time, he did not intend to reap too many benefits for himself, lest Taichu would later refuse to recognize the arrangement.

He believed that there must be regulations on the spaceship to limit the captain’s power. Therefore, he didn’t waste time on that.

As long as the money would be credited afterward, he could do many things.

After he finished, Taichu spoke, “An unidentified object will collide with the spaceship in thirty minutes. Now, let’s discuss the entire plan.”

Chen Xu’s plan was straightforward: calculate the mysterious cube’s trajectory in advance, open the hatch at the point of impact, keep a clear path, and let it pass through the interior of the spaceship, exiting from another direction.

In this process, as long as it was ensured that it would not hit any part of the spaceship, success would be achieved.

Of course, this was the ideal scenario. No one could guarantee that it would not change course midway. Therefore, it was best to avoid some critical locations, such as the cockpit, engine, and energy storage.

Taichu would naturally handle these detailed issues; Chen Xu had only a superficial understanding of the entire spaceship and could not offer any other help.

“By the way, why did we build such a huge spaceship?” He remembered an important question and asked. This related to the setting; now that he was the captain, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to find out, unused authority would lapse.

Taichu explained, “More than two hundred years ago, scientists discovered that the sun was about to die, and when it did, a helium flash would occur, destroying the entire Solar System. To save ourselves, we pooled global resources and built the Dawn spaceship, headed towards a new home.”

Chen Xu found the backstory strangely familiar and couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, “Why not install planetary engines on Earth and push Earth away from the Solar System?”

“At that time, indeed some scientists proposed such a plan, but after calculations, the technological level of humanity was not enough to create planetary engines with sufficient thrust. Hence, it was shelved,” Taichu answered.

Chen Xu asked another question, “So, how many people were originally able to board this spaceship?”

“Ten million.”

“Out of over seven billion people, only ten million could leave, tsk tsk, so one could say that the ancestors of the people currently on the spaceship were all powerful and elite.”

“To be precise, a significant part of them were top scientists and scholars.”

Chen Xu was merely a bit sentimental, but soon his attention shifted elsewhere, “Has the helium flash occurred yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Hasn’t anyone ever doubted that prophecy?”

“Some did, and later those people were suppressed,” Taichu said, then reminded, “Collision countdown, ten minutes.”

Chen Xu saw the image of the cube approaching on the light screen, along with a countdown timer, and his heart couldn’t help but race.

Would his plan be successful?

When the countdown reached five seconds, his palms were sweaty.

At that moment, the hatch that was about to be impacted by the cube opened, and the cube shot straight in.

The screen’s image shifted, showing the interior of the spaceship, continuously following the cube.

It was only at this point that its incredible speed could be appreciated; everything flashed by in a blur, and he lost sight of the object almost immediately.

In space, the static scenes created the illusion of slow motion, but in reality, the relative speed between the cube and the spaceship had already reached hundreds of kilometers per second, meaning it would only take a second or two to pass through the spaceship.

Chen Xu waited a few seconds; there was no vibration, no explosion, no alarms. He asked, “Has it passed through?”

Taichu’s voice was unusually solemn, “No, it has stopped.”

“Stopped?” Chen Xu was perplexed, and on the light screen in front of him appeared the trace of the cube. It hovered quietly in the corridor, and judging by the wall behind it, it was now stationary relative to the spaceship.

Chen Xu felt compelled to say that this was unscientific.

Then, he saw the cube start to move again.

Chen Xu’s heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a passageway open up in the direction it was moving. Clearly, Taichu was quicker than him.

He asked, a bit anxiously, “Which direction is it heading to?”

“The cockpit.”

He sighed, thinking to himself that what was meant to come would always come. With that, he relaxed and picked up the weapon next to him. No matter what the cube was, it was time to fight.

…

Yang Jinxia looked up into the sky, where no clouds could be seen, and the night sky appeared incredibly clear and majestic, a sight she had never encountered in her life.

Around her, many robots were busily working.

Suddenly, she received a report that the cleanup was complete and said, “Let’s go, take a look inside.”

She climbed the mountain and entered the largest cave in the middle, descended for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

“This is…”

The sight before her brought a hint of surprise to her face.

It was an enormously large nest, with the ground and walls covered in mucus. A giant white worm, the size of a small hill, occupied most of the nest. It was already dead.

Elsewhere, there were insect eggs of various shapes, which looked somewhat disgusting.

This one must be the queen of the Insect Race.

What surprised her was that the nest didn’t seem to be naturally formed; on certain sections of the wall, she could identify patterns resembling writing.

She ordered, “Clean up this place.”

Hundreds of robots immediately began to work, dragging away the insect carcasses and eggs, gradually cleaning the filth from the walls and restoring it to its original appearance.

“Indeed…”

Her gaze flashed as she confirmed something: these beasts were not naturally occurring but artificial creations. This hall was the evidence. The walls not only had writing, but the entire hall was made of an extremely hard alloy.

She ordered again, “Clear the surrounding area as well.”

After several hours, the robots had cleared the vicinity, restoring it to its original form.

From its appearance, it was a spacecraft, with one section breached by an external force, resulting in a large hole. The rest, however, was intact.

The spacecraft was huge, practically a small city, and she wondered how many years it had been buried under this mountain with no signs of rust or corrosion. Once the surface dirt was cleared, it looked almost new.

Why was the spacecraft buried under a mountain? Where had its owners gone? Why had it been occupied by the alien beasts? She didn’t care about any of these questions. What concerned her was whether the spacecraft could still be started.

She spent several days in the spacecraft’s control room, unable to figure it out. It wasn’t until she dissected the Insect Queen that she discovered a sphere inside its body.

When she received the sphere from S01, she triggered it and a three-dimensional projection appeared. A creature resembling a human spoke about the spacecraft’s ordeal in standard Mandarin.

At first, she was quite surprised, but later, she learned that the sphere’s effect included synchronous translation capabilities.

The fact that it could translate into Earth’s Mandarin was amazing enough.

She didn’t dwell on these details, focusing instead on the words of the humanoid creature in the projection.

The spacecraft belonged to a human civilization known as the Flying Dragon. During its cosmic journey, it was attacked by the Insect Race and crash-landed on this uninhabited planet. The humans aboard were consumed by the Insect Race.

“So, that’s what happened.”

Yang Jinxia finally understood after hearing the story. What excited her the most was that inside the sphere, there were instructions on how to control the spacecraft.

The precondition was to repair the breach.

This wasn’t difficult for her. She had nearly a thousand robots at her disposal. Although she couldn’t fully restore the spacecraft to its original state, she didn’t need to. She just had to seal it off.

The materials were ready at hand, and the vehicle she arrived in could be used for the task.

After a few days, the breach in the spacecraft was repaired.

Yang Jinxia sat in the control center of the spacecraft, holding the sphere, and started the spacecraft. As screen after screen lit up, her eyes sparkled as well.

Boom…

The ground shook violently as the engines of the spacecraft blasted out immense thrust, breaking free from the constraints of the soil and rocks above, and shot into the sky.

As the spacecraft ascended, Yang Jinxia smiled and said, “Chen Xu, I’m coming to find you.”
