74: Chapter 74 Aliens are coming?

Chen Yu was puzzled. A special signal? Could the United States be developing some secret weapon again?

"What do you mean?"

[Based on my decryption of the signal, it should be from a level 2 civilization spaceship that crashed on Earth.]

[This signal invaded Earth's network, obtained information about Earth, and then withdrew.]

"Could it be the United States' doing?"

[It shouldn't be. According to my analysis, the United States doesn't have the ability to decrypt alien communication devices. This is very likely the self-protection system of the level 2 civilization alien spaceship activating and scanning Earth's network.]

"So what then?"

[Captain, what I want to say is that Earth's location may have been exposed. We haven't built a quantum communication base station yet, so we can't intercept quantum communication. Just now, the level 2 civilization spaceship that sent the signal has very likely transmitted Earth's star system location back to its homeworld.]

Chen Yu's heart sank. Was the day he imagined finally coming?

If aliens descended upon Earth, according to the Dark Forest theory of the universe, they would either enslave you or destroy you!

These were pains Earth could hardly bear!

"Intelligent Brain, what would happen if Earth were discovered by aliens?"

[I am not a civilization from your Galaxy, so I don't know how higher civilizations in your Galaxy handle other life-bearing planets. I'll just talk about our approach.]

[We generally evaluate the value of the planet. A planet like Earth, suitable for intelligent humanoids, has extremely high value. After some cultivation, it can be used as an industrial production base.]

"Industrial base? Wouldn't that mean treating Earthlings as slaves?"

[That's roughly the meaning. We would have Earthlings work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, provide only three meals plus snacks, with milk only for breakfast, only 1 hour of rest at noon, and purchase the most basic five social insurances and one housing fund.]

[To improve the productivity of Earthlings, overtime would earn triple wages. For the health of these slaves, they would also be forced to exercise for an hour after work, and we would provide partner introduction services for slaves who can't find a spouse to ensure the continuation of the species.]

[This is our planet's standard for enslaving other planets.]

"Intelligent Brain, then you should hurry and enslave Earth. Earthlings need you. Even after I rule Earth, I can't say I can do as well as you. But I want to tell you, don't casually browse Earth's short videos; watching them can make you stupid!"

[Captain, if other higher civilizations discover Earth, the indigenous people here have a high probability of being enslaved or even eliminated, because Earth, after modification, is very suitable for the survival of cosmic carbon-based humanoids.]

This was the first time Chen Yu had heard the term "cosmic carbon-based humanoids" from the Intelligent Brain.

"Intelligent Brain, what are carbon-based humanoids?"

[They are like you Earthlings, and also the humans from our Homeworld, all belong to carbon-based humanoids.]

Under the Intelligent Brain's explanation, Chen Yu learned that a carbon-based life form, carbon-based humanoids, widely existed in the universe.

Their appearance and physique were surprisingly uniform throughout the universe, or rather, extremely similar, which directly overturned Darwin's theory of evolution.

For example, the humans of the Intelligent Brain Homeworld were generally taller and stronger than Earthlings.

Their brains were also larger, with three times the brain capacity of Earthlings, which is why their technology was so advanced.

Moreover, humanoids were a powerful race in the universe, with their presence found from level 1 civilization to Level 7 Civilization.

Of course, besides humanoids, there were other alien races, but we won't discuss them for now.

Under the Intelligent Brain's explanation, Chen Yu finally understood what humanoids were.

As for why humanoids all looked alike?

Perhaps it was the result of some god-level civilization, controlling the laws of time, sowing seeds across the entire universe, but this was just Chen Yu's guess.

"Intelligent Brain, since Earth is very likely to have been discovered, we must speed up. After all, you are a product of a Level 7 Civilization. We need to build our own interstellar fleet to deal with the alien invasion that may come in the future!"

[Captain, I will help you. I'm still counting on you to find my crew!]

"Once I resolve Earth's issues, I will help you."

In the United States, inside the secret underground base of Area 51.

Rogers looked at the two heavy hydraulic presses that had been burst, cursing loudly!

"FUCK! What kind of stuff are you researching?! That was clearly just a hatch, and you couldn't even open it!"

The white-coated professor next to him looked extremely displeased.

And just as the third hydraulic press also exploded, everyone lost confidence.

Rogers' expression was solemn. Now that Yanxia was rising comprehensively, the United States was rapidly declining.

Moreover, the United States' underground shelters were under comprehensive construction.

The materials and raw materials needed daily were astronomical figures.

If Yanxia's economic rise was allowed to continue unchecked, the United States would inevitably be at a disadvantage in resource competition.

Just recently, Yanxia had restarted the mining and allocation ratio of Africa's largest Iron Ore Field.

Once Yanxia completely took over this Iron Ore Field, the United States would build many fewer shelters.

This Iron Ore Field was equivalent to the lives of future American people.

Rogers wanted to break this deadlock and could only start with these alien civilizations.

Unexpectedly, Earthlings were still too insignificant; they couldn't even open a single hatch of theirs.

He didn't dare to use explosives, fearing even greater losses if it was destroyed.

Just as Rogers was at his wit's end, the alien hatch surprisingly opened on its own!

A "sizzle!" of electrical machinery sound.

The alien spaceship's hatch slowly opened, revealing the illuminated passage inside.

Rogers looked at this scene in disbelief.

The white-coated professor exclaimed!

"It opened, it opened, it opened by itself!"

Rogers was cautious in his actions. He immediately had all the staff in the huge laboratory come out.

With these alien things, there might be something hidden inside.

After all, in those space sci-fi movies made by Hollywood, there were terrifying things like xenomorphs inside the spaceship.

If they rushed out and implanted an egg inside each of these staff members, that would be terrifying!

After everyone exited the laboratory, Rogers observed the spaceship through the glass to see what would happen next.

But after a long time, the spaceship only opened its hatch.

The white-coated professor suggested:

"Minister, should we send people in to explore?"

Rogers frowned!

"We couldn't even open the hatch. If we send people in, and the hatch closes, wouldn't that be sending those people to their deaths?"

The white-coated professor's face showed fanaticism!

"Minister, I am willing to lead a team to explore! Even if I'm trapped inside to die, I won't regret it!"

Immediately, a group of scientists behind Rogers showed the same fanatical expression as the white-coated professor.

These were all mad scientists obsessed with research. Sometimes, for these novel things, they would even be so crazy as to not fear death!

After a moment of thought, Rogers instructed:

"Alright, everyone can volunteer to sign up. Select a 5-person exploration team to delve into the alien spaceship for inspection, but this mission cannot guarantee their safety!"

As soon as Rogers finished speaking, several scientists behind him raised their hands to sign up.

It seems that no matter where, there are brave individuals who dedicate themselves to science.
