Chapter 302: This Is Called a Warp Drive

About a hundred Firing Pin helicopters were chasing after the UFO in the sky.
This was almost all of the near-ground defense capabilities of the Ancient River People. Their fleet in space was also trying to find the source of the UFO, but the results were minimal.
The UFO flew over a city with a large population and was witnessed by the public.
If they chose to attack, the city would suffer a devastating blow, and heavy casualties would be inevitable.
However, the UFO did not do so. It only stayed above the city for a short moment before flying in another direction.
The Ancient River People naturally wouldn’t think that this was a friendly civilization just because the UFO didn’t attack the city. What if the other party didn’t cause great damage just to accept the planet in the future?
In short, the moment the UFO appeared, they identified it as an enemy.
However, just as a large number of Firing Pins were chasing after them, they suddenly received reports of UFO sightings all over the world.
“As expected, there’s more than one!”
A general from the Ancient River Tribe slammed his fist on the table. He had expected this, but his words were filled with hatred.
It was normal to have such a guess. If they were to invade other civilizations, they would definitely not send only one Firing Pin.
However, the number of UFOs that appeared again exceeded 20, which was beyond the expectations of the Ancient River People. This meant that on average, five Firing Pins would chase after one UFO, and they found it too little to chase after one UFO.
“Was this the power of an advanced civilization? Even if it’s this kind of advance party that looks like a reconnaissance team, we won’t be able to resist at all…”
Some people lost their will to fight because of the frustration. They found it hard to accept that after developing for so long and receiving the legacy of another civilization, they were still being played by an alien civilization.
Could it be that their path of civilization was supposed to be like this? Was it their eternal end to become the plaything of an advanced civilization?
Therefore, after their disappointment, they were ignited with an even stronger will.
“This alien civilization seems to want this planet? Then, we’ll broadcast the coordinates of this place! Then, he would blow up everything on the surface! No one can get here!”
Many people agreed with the idea of some extreme people burning the jade and the stone together. The high-speed Firing Pin slowed down and gradually stopped in midair, as if it was brewing something.
In order to eliminate the electromagnetic force between atoms, this small high-speed aircraft also propelled the nearly 20-ton organic forms to perform a series of difficult actions. It was equipped with a special energy reactor, which had extraordinary explosive power.
The ecological destruction bombs that had been buried under the surface for mutual destruction had also entered the countdown. From the day they learned about the darkness of the universe, the Ancient River People had made these preparations and would not let any enemy have a chance to obtain their mother planet.
However, the gap between civilizations was too wide. Perhaps the Ancient River People had never seen what a powerful alien civilization could do. All the methods that they thought were foolproof could be easily removed.
Their entire planet suddenly began to experience a large-scale power outage. In just a few seconds, half of the planet had fallen into darkness, and even the battle command was affected.
At the same time, the Firing Pins lost all their power and fell from the sky. They either smashed a pit or shattered themselves.
It was obvious that the machine used to eliminate electromagnetic forces had failed, and the shell of the Firing Pin that had lost the strong interaction force was now just an ordinary alloy.
Although they were prepared for such a situation, as long as the underground bomb was activated, it would not stop even if the power was cut off.
However, the Ancient River People, who had waited for a long time without any response, understood that the bomb had failed.
If their instruments were still working, they would be able to detect a strange signal that seemed to be invisible and ghostly echoing in the galaxy.
Then, they watched as a large number of UFOs circled the planet, flew, and then left.
During this process, there were no casualties.
After a while, the power and various mechanical equipment began to recover. The Firing Pins that had fallen to the ground wobbled and flew up again. They also realized that the underground bombs had stopped the activation process.
The battleship in space also returned to normal and sent first-hand information from space.
The desperate Ancient River People finally discovered where the UFO had come from for the first time!
It was an ordinary alien spaceship. It seemed to have been there all along, but they had never discovered it.
Just like that, the UFO gathered on the spaceship, which meant that this wave of attacks had ended.
At this moment, all the Ancient River People who witnessed this held their breaths and began to think about what this alien civilization that far surpassed their level would do to them.
As a slave? Or as livestock? Live an ignoble life? Or destruction?
Then, the alien spaceship disappeared into thin air under everyone’s watchful eyes. It was only after it had disappeared for more than ten seconds that these people finally reacted.
“Just like that?”
They seemed to be in disbelief. After all, the other party could defeat their entire civilization with just one spaceship, yet the other party was giving up the opportunity to destroy them.
“Don’t think so well of things. Perhaps the other party just went back to bring people to control us…Was that really all? How can we?”
After the crisis was temporarily resolved, more and more questions surged into the minds of the Ancient River People. The most common question was, was this civilization really here to destroy them?
At this time, a researcher in charge of the information network reported that the mysterious alien civilization had left something in their civilization vault!
“Is the firewall we’re so proud of made of paper? What did they leave behind?”
“The alien civilization has deciphered our language. They left behind a poem…Songs? It’s called faster than light speed…”
“Faster than light speed?”
This unexpected answer surprised them. They could not understand why this alien civilization would leave behind such an ambiguous message.
However, a scientist seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the place where the alien spaceship had disappeared.
“There, 1 can feel that something is reorganizing. This might be the opportunity for us to surpass light speed! Even if 1 have to work hard for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, I will never give up!”
“Perhaps…This isn’t a hunter toying with his prey, but a gift from civilization…”
The starlight followed the image to Li Yuan’s place. He had already obtained the information he wanted from the Ancient River civilization. He also recorded the customs of this indigenous civilization.
The most important information related to the hyperspace channel was of utmost importance. He had always been curious why there were traces of hyperspace everywhere, but there was no hyperspace channel.
The magic mirror recorded by the Ancient River People was discovered by him at a glance. He immediately realized that it was most likely a lost hyperspace.
In his spare time collecting the data of the Ancient River People, he even sent drones to approach space. The Ancient River People, who had a more primitive scanning method, couldn’t discover this at all.
After confirming it, he was sure that it was a hyperspace, and most likely it had fallen off from the original hyperspace route.
The various hyperspace parameters inside were the same as those in the Milky Way. It was basically confirmed that it was built by humans.
However, he felt that since humans had chosen to build a hyperspace, they would definitely not destroy the ‘road’ that had been repaired again.
Moreover, destroying a hyperspace was not an easy task. Even the ordinary lost empires in the Milky Way could not build or change the hyperspace. The most basic property of this space that had been improved by countless human experiments was stability.
The hyperspace would not be destroyed unless the gravity well of the galaxy underwent a huge change.
The records of the Ancient River People gave Li Wenyuan a direction to search.
In the history of the Ancient River People, the civilization that defeated them to escape had once handed all their knowledge and records to the Ancient River People.
They had speculated that the civilization that destroyed them with some kind of attack was the civilization that stood at the top of the galaxy.
That civilization would attack any galaxy that might have a civilization at will, and their goal seemed to be to protect something.
This kind of civilization, which was obviously abnormal, naturally became Li Wenyuan’s new target..
