Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1278 Exploration License (5000+)

The greatest threat to humanity in interstellar activities is these interstellar creatures.

These interstellar beings live in energy-dense regions.

That is, living at the center of the universe!
The center of the universe is a very wide region.

The main reason is that once the density of galaxies reaches a certain level, the energy activity of the entire space becomes so high that most humans simply cannot survive there.

Even high-level superpowered individuals need to rely on many things to survive there in the long term!
The center of the universe that humanity has reached so far is not the true center of the universe.

The interstellar life forms in the outer regions of the universe's center are terrifyingly powerful.

Of course, for now, humanity only needs to focus on these interstellar creatures.

It is because these interstellar creatures pose a threat to human society.

No one has ever seen those more powerful interstellar beings.

These interstellar creatures migrate to outer regions when they reproduce to avoid their own kind!

Moreover, interstellar life forms absorb energy, so their body structure allows them to evade most of humanity's current probes!

Because its body can absorb any energy, when the energy waves of human probes touch these creatures, they will be absorbed!

This is also something that troubles humans!
Because all human technology is based on energy.

"how is this possible?"

"I've never seen an interstellar creature with this kind of appearance before?"

"Could it be some kind of high-tech product!" The top expert in interstellar biological research of the Alliance looked incredulous after seeing the video footage.

"The question now is, how do we solve this?"

"The alarm systems on both warships are constantly issuing warnings, and due to energy interference, both warships are on the verge of going out of control!" This is the issue that the head of the warship manufacturing plant is most concerned about.

"If they really are interstellar beings, what we need to do is eliminate them."

"We will immediately dispatch specialized researchers to the two warships!" the expert studying interstellar life said excitedly.

"Will anything unexpected happen along the way?"

"For example, activating the weapon systems on the warship?" This is what the head of the warship factory is most concerned about now.

Because if a warship goes out of control, the resulting losses could bankrupt the entire warship factory!
"The chances of that happening are extremely small...!" the relevant expert quickly replied.

Do you have any specific experimental data?

"And can you guarantee there won't be any problems?"

"We need to see something in writing!" The head of the warship factory interrupted the expert.
"We have conducted relevant research on this, but the research data is not convenient to disclose!"

"Besides, we're here to help you solve the problem. What kind of written documentation do you need?" the relevant expert replied.

At this moment, the specialist from the Alliance's Department of Homeland Security spoke up: "If the interstellar creatures absorb the energy from the two warships, will it affect other ships along the entire flight path?"

"It's hard to say, because we don't know how large the interstellar creatures are. If it's just one or two, it would take them a very long time to absorb all the energy on the warship!"

"However, judging from the systems on the warship, there should be quite a few interstellar creatures!"

"We haven't done any research on this, so we can't know how quickly they absorb energy."

"Furthermore, the energy absorption by interstellar life forms will also destroy the entire energy system of the warship!"

"We can see that 18% of the warship's energy system has been destroyed!"

"This may soon cause the warship's energy system to shut down."

"Interstellar life forms are attracted to energy, so if the two warships stop providing continuous energy, the interstellar life forms are likely to change their target!"

"But I have some doubts, because interstellar creatures are too small, and we've never seen one of this size before!"

"We need to analyze this more carefully!"

The others were speechless when they heard the expert's words; it was as if he had said nothing at all.

"I recommend that all personnel be evacuated from the warship!"

"If we can remotely control the front lines later, then we can bring the personnel back!"

"If all else fails, take control of two warships and head to the nearest star!" The head of the warship manufacturing plant reluctantly made this suggestion.

Because both warships were insured by an insurance company.

Now that the two warships have encountered an accident, if they are damaged, the insurance company can provide compensation!
However, if the two warships cause damage to other things in the process of fighting, the insurance company's coverage might not be enough to compensate them!

In the end, the warship manufacturing plant will lose even more money.

Therefore, the head of the warship manufacturing plant now wants to destroy two warships to avoid causing even greater losses.

"No!" The suggestion was met with opposition from everyone.

"We still don't know where these interstellar creatures came from."

"Did you encounter this at the transit station?"

"Why didn't the warship's radar system detect it?"

"Is it a design flaw?" The military official felt a chill run down his spine. Interstellar creatures had silently invaded the warship's interior!
Moreover, the images of these interstellar creatures in the videos we see now are very blurry.

No one in the Allied military will be able to sleep well until this matter is clarified!

The head of the Union's Department of Homeland Security also objected with a chilling urge: "We haven't figured out the specifics yet. If we destroy it now, it will be difficult for us to get more information."

If interstellar life forms can easily invade even a warship like this, what about others?

Although these two warships were not at full capacity, they still had basic functions.

Related experts also expressed their opposition: "Judging from the video footage, these interstellar creatures should still be in their infancy, which presents a great opportunity."

The head of the warship manufacturing plant, upon hearing everyone's objections, jumped up and began to curse. He was the first to refute the military personnel: "These two warships are using passive radar systems. The very structure of these interstellar creatures can absorb all energy. If the radar were to actively scan, it would naturally be able to detect the blank areas reflected."

"But how could TMD passive radar possibly detect these interstellar creatures?"

"Are all the leaders in your military idiots? Don't they even understand this most basic principle? Or did they get promoted through connections?"

"Don't you understand the passive radar operating mode?!"

The military personnel were rendered speechless by the people at the warship manufacturing plant!

"And you idiots in the Department of Homeland Security!"

"As for your work performance!"

"Look at how many terrorist attacks our alliance has suffered over the years!"

"The Fear of the Multistar Incident, the Tianze Star Incident, and the March Star Incident!"

"You guys always only realize what's happening after it's already happened."

"Don't even mention a few mere interstellar creatures!"

"I wouldn't be surprised if our alliance's capital planet were attacked by a super nuclear bomb." The head of the Department of Homeland Security also looked grim.

This is blatantly reopening old wounds, and there's no way to object.

"And you so-called experts, you know nothing and have no data. Come on, let's sign a contract. We'll hand over the two warships to you for research now, and you'll be responsible for compensating for any significant losses caused by the two warships in the future."

"Still in its infancy? Do you even realize that the warship is on the verge of spiraling out of control?!"

"Our factory's decision now is to activate the warship's self-destruct sequence and charge toward the nearest star."

"If this delays our ability to remotely control the two warships, then you will share the consequences."

"If any of you want to find out what happened on the warship, we will immediately transfer ownership of the warship." The head of the warship manufacturing plant knew that other departments of the alliance wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

But I'm even more worried about something happening to the two warships.

"And have you considered what would happen if interstellar life absorbed the energy of two warships and then grew stronger?"

"What kind of situation will it be then?"

"Or perhaps these interstellar creatures have always been in this state!"

Even experts in interstellar biology research wouldn't dare sign such a contract.

Nobody knows what will happen to the two warships behind.

"Then execute the plan!"

"Then we need to investigate exactly where the two warships encountered the interstellar creatures!"

"Evacuate all personnel from the warship!" "Supervise each other during the evacuation!"

"Prevent interstellar creatures from entering the escape pod!"

"In addition, all spaceships and warships within the Alliance territory have activated their active radar detection systems!"

"To guard against the possible appearance of other interstellar life forms."

"The active radar systems of the ground-based early warning systems on all planets are also fully activated!"

Interstellar life forms can absorb energy waves detected by radar.

This way, the radar detects this blank area. Although it cannot lock onto the other party, it can still discover the other party's location in advance.

However, the prerequisite is active radar detection.

Passive radar detection is only possible when the other party actively releases energy fluctuations.

Yang Bo did not expect that, within just half an hour, all the personnel on both warships requested to evacuate.

Yang Bo altered the program of an escape pod, causing his identity to disappear.

Then Yang Bo discovered that the warship, under remote control, was rushing towards the nearest star.

Yang Bo breathed a sigh of relief!

This is the best opportunity to steal two warships.

It takes thirteen hours to reach the nearest star.

I could use this time to disable the warship's remote control system.

This would make the remote controller believe that interstellar life had damaged the warship's control system.

Then, using the star's shield, they successfully escaped.

Because the warship is close to the star, it is beyond the detection range of all detectors.

Because the energy fluctuations released by stars are too great.

So nine hours later, the Alliance lost remote control of the two warships and lost contact with them!

The unmanned probes dispatched by the alliance are still a long way from this star.

Because of the speed of the unmanned probe, I cannot keep up with the speed of the warship!

At this time, Yang Bo had already cracked the control systems inside the two warships and shut down all the energy engines, putting them into a silent navigation state.

Relying on the warship's own inertia, it escaped the range of the star.

Yang Bo could also detect that there were remote detectors continuously probing behind him.

Now, the warships, using the stars as cover, have entered the vast expanse of space.

Because the energy engine was shut down, the energy detectors were also unable to detect the warship's trajectory!

At this time, Zhang Bozhen had not yet received any relevant information.

Yang Bo used more than a dozen interstellar creatures to remotely control two warships.

Then he left the two B-class warships!
Two days later, the person who was tied up in the toilet was discovered!

The reason they were discovered at this time was because the search and rescue personnel found that one person was missing from both warships.

Then, by tracing this person's movements, they discovered that the toilet was locked from the inside!

Then the people at the Union Department of Homeland Security felt a chill run down their spines.

Someone disguised themselves as someone else and infiltrated two warships!

What is the purpose of the other party?
Are they spies from other countries?

They want to steal the Alliance's latest generation of warship technology?
Or are terrorists trying to cause some kind of disaster?
At this point, March Star received a notification that there were some problems with the two warships, so the warship factory immediately recalled them!
Of course, Zhang Bozhen was also stunned when he learned about the unexpected situation that had occurred to the two warships through private inquiries!
Then Zhang Bozhen quickly sent a message to Mr. Jiu.

Zhang Bozhen: Sir? It seems things have taken a bit of an unexpected turn?

Mr. Jiu: What happened? I haven't received a report from our personnel yet?

Zhang Bozhen: Let's talk about it after you understand the situation. Some words are too sensitive, so we can't contact each other!
Mr. Jiu: Okay!
Two more days passed before Yang Bo contacted Zhang Bozhen: "Young Master Zhang, I know what happened. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation. However, we've alerted them now, and it might be difficult to take action next time."

Zhang Bozhen: Sigh, those in the know within the alliance are now in a state of panic. The most crucial thing is that activating the active radar like this will significantly increase the cost!
Mr. Jiu: This cost is nothing compared to the harm caused by the unknown creature. If I had known about the unknown creature earlier, I should have gone there myself!
Yang Bo used "unknown creature" to replace the words "interstellar creature" because the Alliance's Department of Homeland Security might be monitoring sensitive words.

Zhang Bozhen: Mr. Jiu has experience in this area.

Mr. Nine: Hehe, our mercenary group has its own base in the core of the universe!

Zhang Bozhen hadn't expected that this Mr. Jiu was so powerful.

Zhang Bozhen: There are plenty of opportunities. On our side of March Star, we have added another Class A warship. Now that there is a threat from unknown creatures, we can increase our security efforts.

Mr. Jiu: Okay!
Yang Bo got two warships for free. Zhang Bozhen had no idea that Mr. Jiu had already obtained two warships, so he still had to fulfill the subsequent transaction!

Two days later, news broke that interstellar life had been discovered on two Alliance warships.

There's no way to keep anything secret within the alliance, because there's a ruling party and an opposition party within it.

The opposition party used this incident to attack the ruling party.

The current ruling party is the opposition party that came to power after the Tianzexing incident!
Because the Tianze Star incident was so serious, the ruling party at the time was forced to step down in a sorry state, and the president and vice president resigned one after another.

Now the boomerang has reached the current ruling party, which was the opposition party back then.

This is very common in coalitions; it's the same between the opposition and the ruling party.

Now the opposition is using this to question the ruling party's ability to respond to national security!
Furthermore, all warships and spaceships have their planetary surveillance systems' active radars fully operational.

This has drawn protests from environmental groups within the alliance, as activating the active radar would increase the planet's radiation levels.

Although this radiation level is still within the safe range, it is more than ten times the original level!
Therefore, the current ruling party's president, vice president, and head of the Department of Homeland Security have all resigned.

In any case, it's very difficult to do anything within the Alliance. Like in the current situation, we can't detect any potential interstellar life without activating the active radar.

However, once the active radar is turned on, it will provoke a lot of opposition.

Furthermore, some groups are insanely demanding equal treatment for interstellar life!
Stocks related to interstellar biology are also continuing to rise.

In addition, many experts have been popularizing knowledge about interstellar life on various interview programs and television media.

The Alliance is now allowing the dissemination of information related to interstellar life forms, primarily in an effort to leverage public power to prevent the potential existence of such creatures!
This could lead to the alliance abandoning certain administrative stars.

Once a planet is infested with a large number of interstellar creatures, that planet will have to be abandoned!

Because the only way to deal with interstellar life is with the main cannons of warships, and if the main cannons attack a planet, then all life on the planet will be wiped out, or it may even cause the planet to explode!

Therefore, the alliance is now proactively disseminating this information in order to deal with potential troubles!

Of course, this is also to stop those opposing groups from opposing.

The politicians in the coalition clearly have good intentions, but these opposing groups continue to do as they please!
These opposing groups are saying that interstellar beings also have the right to exist!

They even said that the universe is not unique to humankind.

Yang Bo was completely stunned by these bizarre remarks!

The Alliance's discovery of interstellar life has put the other two nations on edge!
Now the other two countries have also activated their active defense systems!

All three countries launched massive warship manufacturing programs.

On the one hand, the three countries face various internal threats, and they have been terribly ravaged by terrorists.

The Federation was on the verge of falling apart due to the ravages of the pirate alliance.

"It's time for Yang Bo's true identity to become famous!" Yang Bo is preparing to make his identity famous!

That means digging out the interstellar creatures from the March Star.

These interstellar creatures were originally a dangerous presence on March Star!

Yang Bo himself doesn't need that many interstellar creatures.

In addition, Yang Bo also wanted to see what level the Alliance had reached in its research on interstellar life!
So Yang Bo obtained an exploration license.

The reason for obtaining this exploration license is that Yang Bo can enjoy at least 10% of the rights to anything discovered under the license, whether it be minerals or other materials.

The interstellar creatures do not live within Yang Bo's territory.

Zhang Bozhen had long wanted Yang Bo to conduct a comprehensive exploration of March Star to see if they could find any more mutated creatures, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

So they quickly issued an exploration permit to Yang Bo and increased his stake from 10% to 30%.

"Let's go!!" This time, Yang Bo not only went out by himself, but also took Su Wei and the other two to enjoy the scenery!
"Let's go!" Su Wei and the other two were also very happy, after all, Yang Bo would be accompanying them on their sightseeing trip!
