503: Chapter 503 Folding Space

“Our battleship suddenly jumped from here to here.” Dai Zheng pointed on the map.

At this time, the battleship's displayed position had just left the urban area of Chang'an City not long ago.

Oriental Chen thought for a moment and pointed at the map, saying,

“We suddenly turned back from here just now. Now we are flying this way again. When we are about to reach the turning point, we will stop in advance.”

“Yes!”

Oriental Chen wanted to see if there was any barrier at that turning point.

...

On the aircraft where Old Qin was located.

“Reporting, Commander, the target battleship suddenly disappeared.” A Soldier reported.

“Sigh, I know, continue monitoring.” Old Qin sighed.

“Yes!”

He knew that Oriental Chen would not obey him so easily.

“Now no one can help you. Whether you can get out of this depends on your own fortune!” Old Qin shook his head and muttered to himself.

...

Soon, Oriental Chen’s several battleships had once again reached the turning point.

They stopped in advance and began to observe carefully.

Everything looked normal; there was no cover or portal-like object in front.

“Send out a miniature drone.” Oriental Chen ordered.

“Yes!”

Dai Zheng operated on the panel, and a small window opened on the battleship. A miniature drone quickly flew out.

It flew forward 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters... When it reached the turning point, the drone suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, a small green dot appeared near the urban area of Chang'an City.

It seemed the drone was also teleported back.

But there was clearly nothing in front; how did the drone suddenly go back?

“Did you detect any abnormal fluctuations?” Oriental Chen asked.

“No!” Dai Zheng shook his head.

“Strange, truly strange!” Oriental Chen couldn't figure it out.

“For now, do not act rashly. Wait for my command!” Oriental Chen ordered.

“Yes!” Dai Zheng acknowledged the order.

Oriental Chen nodded and turned to leave.

He planned to manufacture some thin threads and attach them to the drone. Through this method, he wanted to observe what was happening here.

To manufacture thin threads, a Bee Queen needed to be deployed to the ground.

A Bee Queen could only obtain raw materials from the soil to produce after being deployed.

Even if it was just to produce some fine threads, it still required establishing a small 5-meter square production bay. By the time production was complete, it would already be early the next morning.

These fine threads had properties similar to spider silk, but their diameter was thicker and their weight slightly heavier.

Making them thicker was also for easier observation.

Soon, a drone with the fine thread attached was sent out.

Without surprise, this drone also suddenly disappeared after reaching the turning point and went to Chang'an City.

“This is just absurd!” Dai Zheng punched hard.

The fine thread did not break but suddenly disappeared at the turning point.

The spool of thread in the battleship was still continuously turning.

The other end was still firmly pulled by the aircraft.

This scene was extremely bizarre, as if the fine thread had penetrated Space. This was very similar to when embroidering, where the embroidery needle pulls the thread through the plane of the fabric to reach another plane.

“Xiao Lin, is there any content similar to Space Folding in the Space Station’s Database?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Apologies, Commander, no results found.” Xiao Lin replied.

As mentioned earlier, the data in the Space Station compiled the highest technological achievements of the Nata Civilization, but it was not omniscient or omnipotent.

It seemed he still had to rely on himself.

“Dai Zheng, send out all the drones, flying in different directions. Constantly track their flight paths and record all the turning points.” Oriental Chen ordered.

“Yes!”

Five battleships, each with 5,000 miniature unmanned aerial robots.

Upon receiving the command, they swarmed out from the battleships and flew in all directions.

All Special Operations Team members on the battleship quietly watched the screen, awaiting the final results.

Their current position was at the northernmost point, so the drones flying north disappeared first, followed by those flying northeast and northwest, and so on.

The drones flying south traveled the farthest, having already passed Chang'an City.

Three hours later, all the drones returned.

It turned out that no matter which direction they flew, the drones would eventually be folded back to a fixed appearance point in the deep part of Li Mountain, west of Chang'an.

All the turning points, when connected, formed a perfect circle with a radius of exactly 400 kilometers, centered at this appearance point deep in Li Mountain.

“We’re going here.” Oriental Chen said, pointing to the drawn appearance point on the screen.

“Yes!”

They did not need to fly back; they just needed to fly a little further forward, and they would be automatically teleported back to the appearance point.

The drones needed half an hour to fully recharge.

Half an hour later, Oriental Chen sent them out again to scout.

This time, they flew high into the sky.

Since they started from the appearance point this time, the drones flew a shorter distance, and all of them returned in just 1.5 hours.
