(Seeking Subscription)_1 Of course, size does not equate to combat power.

Though overwhelmingly large, it may not match the combat capabilities of Daphne’s flying staff or the small flying saucer that Jia Yan devoured a significant portion of.

Why else would it not demonstrate any combat ability during the intense battle that day?

Clang, clang, clang!!!!!

——

The sound of the sliding metal gate closing resounded in the air they had just gotten back.

After passing the two metal gates, Jia Yan returned to the core area of the base!

However, upon entering, Jia Yan was taken aback.

The usually barren core area suddenly had several metal platforms of different sizes, and on these platforms were several radiant electronic screens!

In the center of one gigantic metal platform, there was a chair suitable for an average human’s size, positioned in front of a console with many buttons and control sticks.

However, the chair and the console were a bit small for Jia Yan.

He stepped forward, exerted force with his forefoot, and snapped the chair, sweeping it aside.

This console evidently appeared when he was pressing those buttons outside.

Jia Yan saw the notches on the ground and immediately knew where they had come from.

How they appeared didn’t matter.

As long as Jia Yan knew this was the console for the colossal flying disc, that was enough!

“I wonder if there is some kind of identity verification.

There are so many buttons, it’s overwhelming.

Can I handle operating it?”

Jia Yan tried pressing some of the control buttons in the middle, after all, he was not afraid to touch anything in the vast disc contained in this desolate location. The items from the Auster civilization were actually easy to understand.

As mentioned before, some technologies on Earth are strikingly similar to this civilization, or it could be said that the Auster civilization subtly influenced the history of Earth’s technological progress!

Therefore, Jia Yan understood that the control stick was akin to an airplane’s control stick, and the buttons were for special functions.

Even if he didn’t fully understand how to operate them, the symbols and arrangement of the buttons gave him a roughly correct notion of their functions!

There was no point in overthinking it, better to give it a try!

Jia Yan laid down in front of a row of buttons emitting a faint light.

In his opinion, this console was too small, but luckily because of the fine horn-shaped particles on his forefoot, he was able to swiftly tap those buttons.

Jia Yan tried the control stick but couldn’t ignite it.

He guessed it might have a function similar to a car’s gearshift mechanism.

He continued to experiment with both the dashboard and control stick!

Perhaps the Auster people never thought an intelligent species would attempt to activate their flying saucer without understanding their civilization or the writing on the dashboard.

That’s why their design is so awkward for Jia Yan!

But he had time.

Except for pressing the obviously nonessential buttons, he tried pressing each one, one at a time!

With a typical flying machine, there would probably be tight restrictions, but this semi-wrecked flight device was stripped of many functions, perhaps for survival’s sake, allowing anyone to pilot it!

So, after experimenting for a while, Jia Yan pressed a few buttons and moved the joystick.

Suddenly, he felt his body jolt backwards!

It moved!

But this is a damned flying machine with no power protection ability!

Jia Yan almost fell backward from the force of inertia!

The movement highlighted how stripped down this gargantuan flying machine had become!

Whenever he was aboard Daphne’s flying staff, he hardly felt any acceleration.

But with this flying machine, just a slight forward movement almost caused him to fall!

No wonder the chair he had just broken had something like a seat belt on it.

It seemed that its design acknowledged that the power protection system of this spacecraft was of no use, or was simplified!

Regardless, such a massive craft was actually moved by Jia Yan!

“Haha!

This is great.

Even though it’s just a poorly performing craft, it’s still a spacecraft after all!

Might I really be able to fly it back to Earth?!”

Just thinking about it made Jia Yan excited!

He had had enough of this place and if he could return to Earth, he would be more than eager!

But Jia Yan knew he couldn’t rush.

Patience is a virtue.

He needed to understand the source of the spacecraft’s power and if there was enough of it remaining.

If the power was insufficient and it broke down mid-journey, or even worse if the life support system shut down, that’s courting death!

Also, those metal machines that were flung around during the battle, their craftsmanship isn’t something ordinary metal monsters can compare to.

Jia Yan felt it necessary to search this star domain space to see if he can find anything useful.

Thoughts turn into action!

Having been reborn, Jia Yan had always been extremely proactive, especially now with the chance to return to Earth; he was more determined than ever!

After the previous collision, he found that the spacecraft had moved quite a distance from its original place, at least tens of kilometers forward.

And that happened in just a few seconds!

It looked like flying this thing back to Earth wasn’t such an impossibility after all!

Jia Yan flew out of the spacecraft.

His piloting skills were still shaky and he didn’t want to waste energy, even if he didn’t know what kind of energy the craft was using, it definitely couldn’t be unlimited.

So, conserve where possible.

After he came out of the craft, he used his brainwave power to propel himself to navigate in space!

After a few previous flights, he gradually got the hang of this kind of airless flight and started to enjoy it!

There’s no resistance in space, so he could theoretically keep accelerating infinitely.

Although he could not feel the exhilaration of wind, the increase in speed made him very happy!

Even though he needed more training to reach his previous flight speed, he could foresee a day when he would achieve even greater speeds in space.

At that point, even if he still only had around ten hours of activity time, he’d be able to fly a considerable distance!

In the starry sky, the Big Mosquito flew alone.

Actually, flying in the universe was even lonelier than flying on Earth because this place was so vast.

Even though he felt that his brainwave power propulsion was fast enough, the surroundings barely changed.

Neptune was still Neptune and the twinkling stars remained the same stars.

Regardless of distance and angle, nothing seemed different.

Except for the increasingly distant spaceship which was the only reference point he had to measure his speed, when he wasn’t looking at the spaceship, Jia Yan even thought he wasn’t moving at all!

Fortunately, the material up ahead was getting closer, which showed him his flight was being effective.

In hardly any time at all, Jia Yan located some mechanical bodies that had been involved in cosmic battles.

Some of these bodies were completely wrecked, while others seemed almost intact.

Jia Yan was even worried that if he approached them, they might suddenly come to life and come at him!

But, that seemed unlikely to happen!

Before long, he seized a somewhat broken combat machine with one of his front legs and pulled it up.

These machines were small, although most were around a meter in diameter, when compared to Jia Yan’s current size of ten meters, they were insignificant.

So, before long, he gathered many mechanical corpses with his long legs in space!

Then, Jia Yan transported them back to the spacecraft.

Though he wasn’t sure what use they could be, the mere fact that some parts of these machines were still giving off a faint appealing vibe made it worthwhile for Jia Yan to decide to scavenge them!

Moreover, during this period, he also practiced his ability to fly in the universe!
