48: Chapter 48 A Possibility

At Chen Yu's prompt, the intelligent brain rapidly analyzed and indeed deduced a possibility.

[Captain, the time when that level 2 civilization spaceship crashed on Earth is basically the same period as when I crashed.]

[About ten thousand years ago, when the First Generation Spaceship's Warp Engine malfunctioned, I detected an abnormal spatial fluctuation, which is very uncommon in the universe.]

[I speculate that it was that spatial fluctuation that caused the First Generation Spaceship's Warp Engine to malfunction, leading the spaceship to fall out of warp space near Earth.]

'Is it possible that this level 2 civilization spaceship is also like you?'

[There is that possibility.]

'Intelligent brain, do you know the reason for this spatial fluctuation?'

[The reason might be a naturally formed spatial wormhole in the universe, but this situation is very rare.]

'Is there a possibility that it's man-made?'

[Man-made? That's not impossible; as long as a civilization reaches Level 5 Civilization, they can create a type of spatial landmine, and even a Level 7 Civilization spaceship could fall victim if unprepared.]

'Spatial landmine? What in the world is that? Even your Level 7 Civilization spaceship could be hit?'

[Of course, don't underestimate a Level 5 Civilization; they already possess multidimensional space manipulation capabilities, and this spatial landmine utilizes that principle, while I am just the weakest exploration vessel among Level 7 Civilization ships.]

[If I were a star destroyer, I would have a more advanced warp collapse engine, capable of creating wormholes for travel, which is more advanced and faster than a Warp Engine, and the Level 5 Civilization's spatial landmines would have no effect on me.]

[Also, the Galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light-years, indeed providing sufficient conditions for the formation of advanced civilizations like a Level 5 Civilization.]

'So, you're saying it's possible that you were brought down to Earth by a Level 5 Civilization back then, right?'

[That possibility cannot be ruled out.]

A strong sense of crisis already emerged in Chen Yu's heart; if there truly existed such a formidable advanced civilization as a Level 5 Civilization in the Galaxy.

Then, if Earth were discovered by them, wouldn't it very likely become a colony?

He hadn't grown strong yet, just like the dark forest theory described in the Three-Body Problem novel.

'Intelligent brain, we must grow stronger! You are a Level 7 Civilization; you can't be taken out by a Level 5 Civilization in the Galaxy!'

[Captain, as long as you give me enough raw materials and time, I can give you enough ability to resist a Level 5 Civilization.]

'Alright, let's not talk about this for now; I still need to speak with the chief!'

Chen Yu disconnected from the intelligent brain and put down the documents in his hand.

"Chief, I can try to research and complete the technologies in these documents."

The chief's eyes lit up.

"How confident are you in successfully researching them?"

"I can't say how confident, but I will do my best."

Chen Yu really didn't want to say that he disdained researching these paltry level 2 civilization technologies.

Why research this level 2 civilization junk when there are better technologies, at least level 3 civilization ones?

However, seeing the chief's expectant gaze, Chen Yu prepared to have the intelligent brain complete one or two of these level 2 civilization technologies and then give them to the country.

"Good, Chen Yu, my Yan Xia will strongly support you. As for external sanctions, you don't need to worry; my great Yan Xia, with so many years of accumulation, can certainly contend with the West!"

"Chief, I believe those sanctions from the United States will quickly crumble!"

Chen Yu's confidence was evident to the chief; this young man had his own ideas.

After the meeting with the chief ended, Cao Guangde took Chen Yu away.

Those confidential documents would be sent to Chen Yu by a special person once he returned to Jiangcheng.

Actually, Chen Yu had already scanned those documents into his mind earlier, so whether he had the physical documents or not didn't matter.

After leaving the leader's residence, Cao Guangde said to Chen Yu:

"I'm leaving tonight to carry out a secret mission. I'll arrange for someone to show you around Yanjing for the next two days."

"It's alright, General Cao, your mission is more important."

After parting ways with Cao Guangde, Chen Yu was arranged to stay at the Yanjing Guest House Hotel, the highest-grade hotel the state uses to host VIPs.

In the luxurious suite, Chen Yu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, deep in thought.

The more he knew now, the more crises he felt Earth was facing.

First, there was the abnormal solar flare eruption, which was still intensifying, and now there was the sword of advanced civilizations hanging over their heads.

If they weren't careful, they might be discovered one day, and the other party could send a spaceship to turn this place into a colony or simply destroy it.

Fortunately, Earth had only been transmitting radio waves for a little over a hundred years since the invention of wireless telegraphy, and these waves could only travel a maximum of a hundred light-years in the universe.

In the universe, this was barely out of the beginner's village.

According to astronomers' research, within a hundred light-years of Earth, there were almost no conditions for the formation of life-bearing planets.

So, Earth was temporarily safe, no matter how formidable those advanced civilizations were.

The radio waves, and even the light emitted by this little worm, Earth, had not yet reached the detection range of their probes.

Those aliens were not gods, nor could they simply know of Earth's existence out of thin air.

"It seems that the most important thing right now is to solve the solar crisis. If we can't even overcome this hurdle, how can we expect to fight with aliens?"

Chen Yu muttered to himself.

Since he was in Yanjing, Chen Yu decided to spend two days here; he had never been to the imperial capital before.

Early the next morning, a knock came at Chen Yu's suite door.

Chen Yu, wearing his pajamas, opened the door, expecting it to be room service delivering breakfast.

To his surprise, a stunning beauty stood before him when he opened the door.

She had a delicate, petite face, and her eyes were captivating.

Her tall stature, at least 1.7 meters, coupled with silver high heels, brought her close to Chen Yu's 1.83-meter height.

The beauty appeared to be in her early twenties, with slightly reddish, wavy hair that was both sexy and charming.

A dark-colored dress perfectly accentuated her flawless figure, even approaching that of Xiao Jiazi.

Especially her pair of black-stockinged legs, which made Chen Yu feel a bit hot early in the morning.

"You must be Chen Yu, right?" The beauty spoke first, asking.

Chen Yu was a little flustered.

"Uh, you... who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Cao Yixin. Cao Guangde is my father. He left last night to perform a mission, so he asked me to take you around Yanjing today."

Chen Yu was very surprised, he hadn't expected General Cao Guangde to have such a beautiful daughter.

So, when Cao Guangde said he would send someone to show him around, he meant his own daughter.

Chen Yu looked at Yixin again, and indeed, she bore some resemblance to Cao Guangde.

"Alright, Miss Cao, then I'll trouble you today!"

"Call me Yixin, calling me Miss Cao is too formal."

"Alright then, Yixin."

"You should quickly get dressed, I'll wait for you outside."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Chen Yu quickly returned to his room and dressed swiftly; it was not good to keep such a beautiful woman waiting.

In just two minutes, Chen Yu was fully dressed and came to the door.

"Oh, that quickly?"

Chen Yu was speechless; how could a man be told he was quick by a woman, especially such a beautiful one?

So, he subconsciously blurted out:

"Actually, sometimes I can last a long time!"

Cao Yixin's expression froze slightly, her mouth twitched, and then she led Chen Yu downstairs.

After they finished breakfast at the hotel, they walked out the main entrance, where a red Mini was parked.

"Get in, I'll take you to some fun places."

Chen Yu was a bit surprised that Cao Yixin drove such a cute car.

The two got into the car and drove away.

What Chen Yu didn't know was that shortly after the Mini drove off.

An inconspicuous black car parked not far away also quietly started, then silently followed the Mini.
