Chapter 21
“I’m the only one from the Laborns on this s.h.i.+p.”
After hearing Cooper’s words, the fat man was also slightly surprised. He then laughed, gradually revealing his true face.
“This is indeed my oversight. I forgot that we can’t take aliens and ‘humans’ for granted.”
Fatty’s body began to twist, and the projection attached to his skin instantly disappeared as the moving holographic theater closed.
A synthetic humanoid, which Cooper and the others thought was an ‘alien’, appeared in front of them. It was the one Li Wenyuan was controlling.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m the manager of this planet. You can also call me… ‘The Administrator’.”
The Administrator…
Cooper frowned and stared at the unknown creature warily. His brain started to search for any information related to it, but he found nothing.
Just as he was about to say something, the young man beside him suddenly spoke, his tone filled with hostility.
“So, the loss of control of our s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was your doing?”
“Of course, cracking your defense system is not difficult.” Li Wenyuan readily agreed and didn’t hide this matter.
“So, as long as we leave you here, we can leave?” The young man’s eyes became more and more dangerous, as if he wanted to fight.
Li Wenyuan was also stunned. He sized up the young man and couldn’t help but say,
“Is ‘conceit’ a virtue in your civilization? Why do you think that someone who has a way to take care of your s.h.i.+p without anyone noticing would be so easily taken care of by you?”
“Only the ‘unknown’ is scary, but now that you’re here, you’re no longer the ‘unknown’. To us, you’ve become someone we can beat.” The young man was still fearless and looked quite confident.
Li Wenyuan also nodded. “I see. I’ve been thinking about whether I should keep up a mysterious front to get in touch with you, but after all, I need to establish a ‘cooperative’ relations.h.i.+p with you. I think it’s better to show my face.”
“But I didn’t expect you to attack me as soon as you came up,” Li Wenyuan said as he looked at the young man with great curiosity.
“I’ve noticed it before. You seem to have inexplicable confidence, as if you’ll never be in danger… Could it be that you have some deeply hidden secret?”
These words made the young man’s pupils shrink slightly, but on the surface, he still maintained his indifferent state.
In the end, the professor stood in front of the crowd and stared at the ‘alien’ in front of him.
He said, “Respected Administrator, my student’s words just now were a little offensive. I apologize on his behalf, and I hope you can forgive him.”
His words were full of humbleness and he apologized immediately, putting himself in a lower position.
The knowledgeable professor was more mature and astute.
Of course, he could tell that the Administrator in front of him had no ill intentions toward them for the time being. It would be easy for an unknown existence with such technology to kill them in the dark.
Judging from the words of the Administrator, he still needed their help to a certain extent, or else he wouldn’t have to show up in person to show his sincerity.
Therefore, the professor wanted to know what the Administrator wanted.
This was also Cooper’s idea. Under the condition that he could guarantee his safety, he was eager to know the secret of this place, because it was very likely to be related to his father’s death!
“Then, respected Administrator, can you tell us what your so-called ‘cooperation’ is exactly?”
“Of course, no problem. I’m here to talk about this anyway.” Li Wenyuan nodded and continued,
“As you can see, there are a large number of ruins on this planet, and countless secrets are hidden in them.
“As for me, I don’t know anything other than taking care of this planet. I don’t know how to excavate relics, so I need some ‘experts’ to help me find out the secrets of those relics.
“I’ll provide you with all the resources you need, including food, equipment, manpower, and a good living environment…”
The synthetic humanoid that was controlled by Li Wenyuan looked at them with a smile and said after a pause, “Of course, other than freedom.
“I don’t have any plans to let you leave this planet at the moment, but as long as you can make enough contributions… I’ll also consider setting you free.”
“Impossible!” Before the others could speak, the young man said firmly,
“Why should we listen to the words of someone of unknown ident.i.ty or race, even if he is a living creature?
“What if he’s just bluffing? Maybe he’s just a drifter who came before us and used some small tricks to make us think he’s very powerful, so he wants us to work for him! Don’t be fooled by him!”
“Shut up!” The old professor glared at the young man and cursed him dozens of times in his heart. Then, he looked at Li Wenyuan cautiously.
“Respected Administrator, my student is a little impatient, please forgive him… But you see, we also want to know if you have the strength to support our excavation work. After all, it’s difficult for us to explore the dangerous ruins with only our physical bodies…”
Of course, the old professor was smart. He couldn’t believe that Li Wenyuan was an Administrator just based on one side of the story.
“If the ‘Administrator’ can not provide convincing evidence, or if he is just bluffing, it means that he is a liar,” the professor thought to himself. But his face still had a submissive expression.
“There’s nothing wrong with that.” Li Wenyuan nodded and snapped his fingers.
“Weren’t you guys just discussing what this thing in the sky is? I can tell you that this is a battles.h.i.+p. As for why it doesn’t generate gravity, it’s because its body is in subs.p.a.ce.
“The one in the sky is its projection in the real universe. Its actual ma.s.s is only the level of a meteorite.”
As he spoke, the dark sky regained its brightness in an instant. The sun was still hanging high in the sky, and the darkness from before seemed to be an illusion.
“What…” Everyone seemed to be in disbelief. Was such a huge object almost like a cosmic phenomenon a battles.h.i.+p?
Then how terrifying would the civilization that had built such a battles.h.i.+p be?
“This might not be enough, so I’ll show you some of the blueprints and principles of this battles.h.i.+p… I believe that with your education level, you should be able to distinguish what is fiction and what is science.”
The synthetic humanoid’s eyes glowed, and a miniature blueprint of a Tiangang Battles.h.i.+p was projected into the s.p.a.ce. It was surrounded by a large number of parameters, and it looked very realistic.
On the other hand, Cooper and the professor’s eyes lit up, and their brains, which were filled with knowledge, instantly began to a.n.a.lyze. When they encountered a problem, they even started to discuss it on the spot. Sometimes they argued until their faces were red, and sometimes they nodded frequently, clicking their tongues in wonder.
Even the young man who was always upset couldn’t help but take a look at it in such an atmosphere, and then he was attracted by the complex and rather imaginative structure and immersed in it.
Even though there were many parts that they couldn’t understand, they had to admit that this was indeed a possible miracle.
“How is it? Do you believe me now?”
“The only civilizations that could have such technology are the lost empires. Respected Administrator, please forgive our rudeness, it is my honor to be able to serve you.”
The professor’s att.i.tude instantly became respectful. If he still had a trace of doubt before, he was completely convinced by the technology used in the blueprint after seeing it.
He even had a terrifying guess that perhaps the Administrator in front of him… It was an existence on the same level as the lost empires.
“Oh? Even if you can’t return to your hometown?” Li Wenyuan asked with great interest.
The professor hesitated for a moment and said, “Although it’s a pity, my biggest goal in life is to produce results from my research in extraterrestrial remains.
“It doesn’t matter if I can’t return to my mother planet. As long as I can complete my life’s pursuit, I will die without regrets.”
“What an admirable spirit.” Li Wenyuan praised and looked at Cooper.
“What do you think?”
“I agree with the professor,” Cooper quickly replied.
“I came here to investigate the cause of my father’s death. Now that I’ve found a clue, I won’t agree even if you chase me away.”
“That’s good.” Li Wenyuan nodded and finally looked at the young man who had been very arrogant.
“So, what are your thoughts?”
The young man was silent for a long time. His eyes kept flas.h.i.+ng, as if he was in intense thought.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he asked Li Wenyuan,
“Before I answer, can I ask a question?”
“Of course.”
“May I ask, are you the one controlling the battles.h.i.+p in the sky?”
“I’m the one controlling it. What’s wrong?” Li Wenyuan answered happily. He also looked at the young man with curiosity, wondering why he asked this question.
The young man heaved a sigh of relief, and his entire body seemed to have relaxed. His eyes, which were initially full of changes, gradually turned into a playful look. His expression was filled with confidence, as if everything was under his control.
He slowly walked forward, and with every step, his essence, energy, and spirit increased by a level. With the strong atmosphere brought about by his self-confidence, it transformed into his aura of looking down on all things.
“Then there’s nothing to be afraid of… Old fogey, those things of yours are already outdated.”
As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
“I’ll show you the power of the new era!”
