Deep Space Scavenging, Hand Over Alien Warships at the Beginning

Chapter 143 Warp Dizziness and the New WorldThe hull of the dragon sparrow emitted dull sounds of metal twisting; this was not due to insufficient structural strength, but because the surrounding spatial laws had been completely twisted into a knot.

Inside the wormhole, the concept of time became like a ball of yarn tangled by a cat. Lin Yuan sat in the command chair, and as far as his gaze could reach, everything was crazily stretching and overlapping.

Those familiar control panels seemed to turn into melted butter at this moment, dripping downwards, and his adjutant, Li Na, actually appeared as dozens of overlapping phantoms in Lin Yuan’s field of vision.

”Ugh —”

In the communication channel, due to the mental connection, the retching sounds of tens of thousands of soldiers were clearly transmitted.

This feeling was ten thousand times worse than being spun in a washing machine; it was the excruciating pain of one’s soul being forcibly ripped out of the body and shoved into a shredder.

”Whole ship... maintain... breathing...”

A field officer tried to issue orders via broadcast, but his voice turned into a string of irregular, shrill electronic noises under the spatial distortion, making people’s scalps numb.

Many soldiers began to show signs of claustrophobia. In this colorful, kaleidoscope-like wormhole passage, one instinctively feels a sense of loneliness as if abandoned by the entire universe.

The originally solid bulkhead looked as thin as a cicada’s wing, as if some unknown monster would crawl out from those colorful cracks the next second.

”What are you panicking about.”

A calm yet weighty voice suddenly resounded deep in everyone’s minds.

This voice did not pass through any loudspeaker but was directly imprinted onto their neurons.

It was Lin Yuan.

He was closing his eyes at this moment, his semi-energized body emitting ripples of dark purple. In the eyes of others, it was hellish distortion, but in his eyes, he could see the flow behind these spatial folds.

His abnormal level of mental power turned into a stabilizing force at this moment.

Every soldier felt a pair of warm and powerful hands gently patting the back of their heads, smoothing out the trembling that originated from the depths of their genes.

”Open your eyes and look at scenery you won’t see in this lifetime; this ticket is very expensive.”

Lin Yuan’s mocking tone made the tense atmosphere relax instantly.

The crushing sensation that threatened to tear people apart miraculously transformed into a wonderful sense of lightness under the soothing of his mental power.

”Gravity anchor point for exit detected.”

gaia’s voice remained calm but slightly distorted in the spatial vibration, ”Coordinates: Proxima Centauri. Countdown to the end of the transition, three, two, one!”

Boom!

The dragon sparrow lunged forward.

All overlapping phantoms instantly merged into one.

The colorful brilliance outside the window disappeared like shattered glass, replaced by that deep, heart-palpitating black of the starry sky.

But before everyone could suppress the acid in their stomachs, everyone was stunned into speechlessness by the sight outside the observation window.

In front of the warship, three huge luminous bodies were intertwining in a mysterious trajectory.

Those were not suns, but three stars.

One was searing white and dazzling, as if to burn everything in the world; one was orange and warm, exuding a sense of old age; and another was emitting a cold blue light in the distance.

These three massive gravitational fields pulled and wrestled with each other, twisting the surrounding space into a wrinkled curtain.

”This is Proxima Centauri...”

Li Na held onto the command chair and exclaimed with a pale face.

She had never imagined that the three-body structure recorded in books would possess such world-destroying pressure when it truly appeared before her eyes.

”gaia, scan the environment and find where that ’cowshed’ is.” Lin Yuan rubbed his brow and let out a long breath.

”Scanning Proxima Centauri system... Target locked: Proxima Centauri b planet.”

Data popped up on the big screen.

It was a gray-looking planet, slightly larger than Earth, with its orbit exactly at a balance point between the gravitational pull of the three stars.

”Extremely high concentration of mineral resources detected; the abundance of gold, cobalt, and uranium is more than a thousand times that of Earth.”

gaia paused, her tone becoming heavy, ”But the atmospheric composition is abnormal. The carbon dioxide content is extremely high, and it is filled with a large amount of heavy metal dust and industrial waste gas. According to model simulations, there is no natural vegetation on the surface of this planet; it has been... completely industrialized.”

Lin Yuan stared at the gray planet, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The industrialization here was clearly not for the development of civilization, but for plunder.

It was like a coolie whose flesh and blood had been drained, leaving only a skeleton, and who was still being forced to have parts stuffed into it to work.

”Before we could find them, they have already discovered us.”

Lin Yuan curled the corner of his mouth.

A harsh alarm sounded throughout the bridge.

”Warning! Detected over four hundred active radar sources locking onto us!”

”Target: Planetary orbital defense platforms and three thousand six hundred interceptor satellites!”

As soon as gaia finished speaking, in the void in front of the dragon sparrow, where it had previously looked like interstellar dust, rows of neat lights suddenly lit up.

Those were hideous orbital turrets, densely packed around the planet.

And behind those turrets, a silver warship with a strange shape, looking like a huge triangular boomerang, was slowly sailing out.

”Buzz —”

The main screen was forcibly cut off, static flashed twice, and then it turned into a clear video window.

That was a communication sent by the other party.

In the picture, there was an extremely lavishly decorated floating palace.

A humanoid creature with unhealthy grayish-white skin and wearing wide silk robes sat on the throne in the center.

In the very center of his forehead, there was a bloodshot eye lying horizontally.

Plus the original two eyes, a total of three eyes.

This thing was squinting at the bridge of the dragon sparrow through the screen with an extremely contemptuous look, as if it was looking at a few stray dogs rummaging through trash cans on the roadside.

”Where did these wild monkeys come from?”

An audio converted by gaia came out, the arrogance in the tone almost overflowing the screen.

”To think you could drive this scrap metal, which can’t even have its antimatter shields leveled, into the territory of the Three-Eyed Race?”

The leader of the Three-Eyed Race stretched out his slender fingers and casually straightened his robe.

”I am the external affairs Commander of the Three-Eyed Race, Zala.”

He paused, his vertical eye narrowed slightly, flashing with a cruel light.

”Give you ten seconds to turn off all engines of that pile of scrap, everyone get out of the cabin, and kneel in space to accept our preliminary inspection.”

”If you perform obediently enough, perhaps I can consider making you into ’biological specimens’ and putting you in our race’s grandest museum, rather than stuffing you directly into the ore shredder to become fuel.”

The screen changed, and the dragon sparrow was already locked by countless high-energy laser beams from all directions.

The feeling of being pointed at by the Grim Reaper made the breathing of the Great Xia soldiers on the bridge become rapid.

Li Na was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she suddenly looked at Lin Yuan: ”Captain, he...”

Lin Yuan didn’t speak; he just looked down at the Great Xia dragon sparrow that the other party called ”scrap metal.”

This ship was indeed not pretty.

It was even emitting heat from the recent transition in some places, looking sloppy and clumsy.

”Old Wang.” Lin Yuan spoke suddenly, his voice not loud.

Academician Wang, who was sitting on the side, was stunned for a moment: ”Huh?”

”Can our translation system restore Great Xia common language one hundred percent?”

”As long as it is vocabulary within logic, even modal particles can restore that emotional fluctuation.” Academician Wang pushed his glasses, his expression becoming very strange, ”What do you want to do?”

Lin Yuan nodded.

He turned his head and gave a very bright, even slightly kind smile to the video window.

That was a smile Zala had never seen in previous plunders.

Those conquered civilizations were either crying or going crazy; no one had ever been so... happy.

Zala was stunned, thinking the monkey was scared silly, and was about to humiliate them a few more times.

”Considering you’ve talked so much nonsense to me, I’ll give you a polite phrase from my hometown.”

Lin Yuan held up a finger, slowly raising it in the center of the screen, and then spit out one word.

”Piss off.”

This word, after gaia’s high-fidelity conversion, carried that extremely wild, extremely disdainful, and extremely piercing fluctuation, smashing fiercely into Zala’s ears.

The air on both sides of the screen instantly froze.

Zala’s grayish-white face turned from pale to liver-purple at a visible speed.

His three eyes widened almost simultaneously, especially the one on his forehead, which was so bloodshot it looked like it was about to drip poison.

In this star sector, in the pastures of the Mechanical Papacy, a manager of his level was a god.

No creature had ever dared to raise a middle finger at him, and no creature had ever dared to tell him to piss off.

”Lowly... stinking... monkeys!”

Zala stood up abruptly from the throne in anger. Due to his rage, his thin, shrill voice became like a hen whose neck was being strangled.

His slender arm waved violently, and he roared at the operator beside him with a ferocious face:

”Attack!”

”Tear the armor of that scrap metal piece by piece! I want that leading monkey alive! I want to stuff all his clansmen into the fermentation tank to feed the dogs right in front of him!”

On the planetary orbit, thousands of turrets lit up with searing light at the same time.

That was a firepower net sufficient to destroy the surface of the moon.

But Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair leisurely, putting his feet on the console.

”Look, I told you that these guys acting as guard dogs have very foul tempers.”

The dark purple light in his eyes exploded instantly.

”dragon sparrow, open the eyes of this ’Holy Race’ and teach him what Great Xia’s temper is.”

Boom —!

Before the opponent’s first wave of artillery arrived, the main gun ”Dongfeng-X” at the bow of the dragon sparrow had already bloomed with a despair-inducing pitch-black death ray.

And at the same time that the death ray cut through the starry sky, a sudden, unprecedented, harsh prompt sounded in Lin Yuan’s mind:

【Detected high-value ’titan core part’ inside the planet, suspected to be the other half of the star gate key!】

Lin Yuan’s eyelids jumped violently, and his previously nonchalant expression disappeared instantly.

So, this was not a simple resource plunder war.

He stared at the gray planet as if staring at a gold mine filled with rare treasures.

”Old Wang, don’t smash the planet; the key is still inside!”

And inside the opponent’s flagship cabin, Zala was waiting ferociously for the disintegration of the dragon sparrow.

But the next second, his screen turned red.

That kind of red was the warning color for all shields evaporating instantly.

A pitch-black beam of light penetrated the Three-Eyed Race’s proudest composite shield without any obstruction, whistling straight towards the bridge of his flagship!

”What weapon is that?!”

Before Zala’s roar could fall, the entire flagship plunged into world-destroying tremors.
