Chapter 5 Bad News

"Alarm! Alarm!, an asteroid is detected at 38 degrees in the first quadrant at the six o'clock direction of the spacecraft, coordinates S23345, A52314, G84541, and the impact orbit is being calculated. Alarm, the target asteroid's orbit has changed, and it will hit the hull in five seconds. All crew members please leave quickly through the escape pod! 4! 3! 2! 1" An alarm sounded, and there was a commotion on the No. 2 Exploration Research Ship. The chief scientist was hurriedly stuffed into the laboratory's exclusive escape pod by several assistants.

The silent collision, just like a silent movie in the 20th century, the armor of the spacecraft failed to withstand the impact of the meteorite, the entire spacecraft was torn apart, and the fragments were scattered. In the explosion of the spacecraft, a small escape pod shuttled back and forth between the spacecraft and the fragments of the meteorite, escaping to a planet not far away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, our second research spacecraft lost control when it was hit by an asteroid while exploring H4-Y2K, and the spacecraft has crashed. Only the chief scientist and five researchers on board escaped to the lifeboat and survived."

"Oh? Hit by a meteorite? How is that possible? Are the early warning radar and supercomputer of the spacecraft just for fun? Ask the command center to send me the last log of the spacecraft." Li Mingze sat heavily on the office chair and rubbed his eyebrows. The research spacecraft that he had built with great difficulty was written off just like that.

Data is being transmitted.

"2021.11.22. 22:13 The system detected the approach of the asteroid and is calculating the impact trajectory. Ding, after calculation, the impact trajectory will not collide with the spacecraft. It is safe. The collision alarm is lifted."

"2021.11.22. 22:50 The asteroid orbit has changed! The impact trajectory is being recalculated. Warning! Warning! The asteroid is about to collide with the spacecraft!"

"2021.11.22. 22:51 The outer armor of the spacecraft is damaged by 100%! The spacecraft disintegrated."

What is this? The asteroid changed its orbit by itself? ! Why would it change its orbit by itself, unless its target is the exploration ship! This accident is man-made!

Li Mingze was shocked by this discovery. You must know that the only people in the entire empire who own spacecraft are the government and the army, and the movements of the entire empire are under his control. In other words, he finally met an alien civilization! And it is an alien civilization that is hostile to the empire!

This matter is serious! The other party's purpose is very clear. If the exploration ship is destroyed, then no matter whether the crew escapes or not, any country will send a rescue or salvage team. If the salvage team or rescue ship is reimbursed again due to an accident, then this civilization will definitely send a small army to check, which is exactly the other party's trap.

Isn't this an alternative application of the ancestors' siege and attack? Through this accident, the opponent's living force is continuously eliminated, and the opponent's military strength can be judged!

"Tianyi, issue a red alert and notify all warship crews on vacation to end their vacation! All warship reactors are preheated and ready to go!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the wall on the right side of the desk and stood still. The wall, which was originally as flat as a mirror, flashed a beam of light and slowly opened to both sides. In sight was a machine similar to the hibernation chamber in the movie.

This is the crystallization of the empire's highest technology! The function of this machine is to connect human consciousness with the brain of clones in other places through quantum entanglement technology, so that Li Mingze can descend at will among the cloned substitutes in major space stations and spacecraft to achieve the purpose of the emperor's personal visit, and also ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor himself.

However, due to the high manufacturing cost, it is currently only used by Li Mingze himself.

In the flagship of the escort fleet far outside the home galaxy, a hibernation chamber slowly opened, and Li Mingze opened his eyes filled with nutrient solution.

"Ding, the physical examination is completed, the health is good, the quantum brain synchronization rate is 99%, the consciousness grafting is successful, and the hibernation chamber is open! Welcome, Your Majesty!"

Li Mingze touched his face and pinched his thigh. There was touch but no pain. Tsk tsk tsk, technology is really the first productive force.

"Your Majesty, you are using clone No. 001. Your clone's skeleton has been replaced with alloy skeleton, and your muscles have been injected with medical nanorobots. Now your physical fitness has reached the limit that humans can achieve."

Li Mingze rinsed the nutrient solution on his body, put on the power armor prepared by the robot next to him, and combed a handsome big hair.

"Well, it's so handsome! Come, put on the cloak for your majesty!"

The bionic robot waiting on the side immediately put the cloak in his hand on the shoulders of Li Mingze's power armor, and Li Mingze immediately felt that he was much more domineering.

The door of the bridge slowly opened, and the great Emperor Li Mingze walked slowly towards his seat.

"All warships, listen to the order! Coordinates H4 galaxy, disperse the formation, and prepare to start the hyperspace engine. 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Jump!"

The shells of the six spacecraft flashed blue electric light and disappeared on the spot...

At the edge of the H4 galaxy, the six spacecraft turned off the engine and slowly glided forward by inertia.

Is Li Mingze stupid? He knew it was a trap and still jumped in with the fleet.

Of course he was not stupid. He left the hyperspace channel early and used inertia to glide, preparing to get closer and launch drones. If he couldn't win, he would run away. At worst, running back to the Sith orbit to fight a defensive battle was better than trapping the entire fleet.

The belly of the six spacecraft opened silently, and dozens of drones accelerated to the H4-Y2K planet.

The bridge was silent, with everyone staring intently at several monitors showing the drone's perspective. Looking forward to discovering something.

Suddenly, an asteroid began to accelerate and rushed towards the drone at the front!

Appeared! Appeared! The enemy is taking action!

At this time, the drone rolled and flexibly avoided the impact of the asteroid. However, the asteroid did not explode or turn around, but sprayed tail flames and flew towards the distant starry sky.

"Launch out all the drone detectors! I want to know what's going on!" Li Mingze sat on the command seat and issued the order. He was a little confused now.

Tens of minutes later, the drone transmitted various data back, and various researchers and tactical experts immediately analyzed the returned data.

"Your Majesty, our drone has just discovered the remains of a long-abandoned ancient civilization shipyard in the asteroid belt. After scanning, it has been found that these flying meteorites are the original construction ships of the shipyard. Because of their special reactors, It can attract fine space dust, so after millions of years, a large amount of space dust has accumulated on the body. This dust has blocked the nozzles of weapons and some engines, causing them to only defend themselves by impacting when we trigger the alarm! "

"Send the Marines to land at the dock. I want to know if there is anything valuable inside." Li Mingze ordered.
