Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 76 Brown's Mission

Brown leaned back in his seat, a brilliant starry sky before his eyes.

Ever since he passed the Galaxy Senior Engineer Badge, he has been in high spirits. Now, with this shining golden badge quietly worn on his chest, countless sleepless nights have finally paid off. Brown has finally obtained the rank and status he deserves.

When he received Fang Yan's communication request, he happily pressed the connect button and told Fang Yan that he was on his way back and was not far from the earth.

However, Fang Yan's response left him dumbfounded. In addition to congratulating him on becoming a senior engineer, Fang Yan also hoped that Brown would not return directly to Earth, but instead go to Andromeda near Earth.

Brown keenly caught the unusual tone in Fang Yan's voice and frowned, "Did something happen?"

"It's not convenient to talk about it now. Anyway, there are some things I hope you can help with. Let's talk in person." Fang Yan's voice was calm and cautious in the communicator.

After turning off the communication, Brown pondered, Andromeda is a neutral galaxy hundreds of light years away from the earth. He didn't understand why Fang Yan wanted to meet there?

However, out of trust, Brown decided to do as Fang Yan asked. He got off the ship at the transfer station, and after many twists and turns, he finally arrived at Andromeda and came to a hotel that he had agreed with Fang Yan in advance.

When I entered the lobby, I saw Fang Yan and Isabella. After not seeing each other for many days, Isabella and Fang Yan had become closer and closer. She snuggled up to Fang Yan with a beautiful smile.

"Brown!" Isabella was the first to break the silence. She waved at him with a smile and said playfully, "Long time no see! Congratulations on getting the Senior Engineer badge, respected Engineer."

Brown was embarrassed. Before he could reply, Fang Yan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Glad to have you back, old friend."

The three of them entered the private room that had been reserved in advance. Isabella sat next to Fang Yan like a little bird. They did not drink any alcohol, but ordered some juice instead.

"I don't understand." Brown's eyes wandered between Fang Yan and Isabella, his doubts deepening. "Why did you come to Andromeda to meet? It's obviously very close to Earth."

Fang Yan smiled and said, "Actually, Isabella and I are here for vacation. At least that's what I told others, so no one knows about our meeting."

To this day, Fang Yan and Isabella's relationship is known to everyone. They often go out together and go on vacation together, and no one would doubt it.

At this time, Fang Yan put away his smile, stared at Brown, slowly took out a data card from his pocket, and inserted it into the holographic projector he carried with him.

In an instant, the surroundings were covered by a deep star map, countless planets were slowly rotating, and in the center was a node that was flashing red light.

"What is this?" Brown looked closer but didn't see anything unusual.

Fang Yan explained slowly, starting from a mysterious letter he received, to the standard position marker of the Milky Way, and then to his mental journey. He thought it was a prank at first, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed, so he superimposed five different scanning technologies together.

As Fang Yan spoke, he tapped his fingers in the air a few times, and the star map suddenly changed.

Five rays of light of different colors intertwined together, eventually forming a strange spatial structure at the landmark, like an unfathomable cave, surrounded by twisted ripples.

Brown's face changed drastically. When the five different scanning forms were superimposed, the results were completely different from before. What was going on?
"Space rifts, space bubbles, and abyss, have you heard of these three special space structures?" Fang Yan asked.

Brown frowned. "I only know about spatial rifts. The space torn apart by the jump engine is called a spatial crack. Spatial rifts should be a wider and more intense form of spatial expression." Fang Yan nodded slightly. "Yes, the form is similar, but the crack is more powerful. It can even push an entire galaxy into it, causing it to completely disappear."

"As for the space bubble, it refers to an independent spatial body that is completely unobservable in existing dimensions, but it really exists. Through a spatial crack or fissure, one can enter and exit this bubble."

"What about the abyss? The name sounds quite scary." Brown continued to ask.

Fang Yan scratched his head. "To be honest, I don't have much information on hand. I've only seen it occasionally in the database. It should be some more powerful form of spatial expression. I don't understand the principle behind it, I just know it really exists."

"And the superimposed data I just showed you indicates that there is a high probability of space cracks and space bubbles at the target location."

Brown nodded. He already understood what Fang Yan meant. Because a lot of things had happened recently, Fang Yan had become more cautious, and he had just returned from the inner ring of the Milky Way, so Fang Yan must have wanted him to go and investigate quietly.

Brown told Fang Yan his guess, and Fang Yan nodded slowly. "Yes, I hope you can confirm it. Of course, this is just a suggestion. After all, everyone knows that such exploration often involves risks. You can completely refuse it, and there will be no problem."

Brown was silent, he lowered his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The location is hidden in a secluded place on the edge of the Milky Way, far away from all safe routes and known galaxies. Going there alone means facing countless unknown dangers alone.

But at the same time, it was also because Fang Yan had great trust in him. He hadn't seen her for three months, and as soon as he came back, Fang Yan entrusted such an important matter to him.

Thinking of this, Brown laughed and said, "Leave it to me."

Fang Yan nodded as if relieved. "I remember you said you have a pilot's license, right?"

Brown scratched his head. "When I was young and full of energy, I always wanted to travel the galaxy. So I got a pilot's license and a captain's license. Unfortunately, they were useless. After all, interstellar spaceships are too expensive. Unless I win the lottery, I can't afford them with my income."

Fang Yan handed Brown the key to a small frigate. "The ship is already docked at the dock. I bought it from our partner, the Merchant Alliance, and registered it under your name. From now on, you'll be a merchant. If you need anything, ask the Merchant Alliance for help. President Gu and Raphael are both very familiar with you, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Brown took the key and felt deeply impressed by Fang Yan's thoughtful consideration. Disguising himself as a merchant would undoubtedly bring him many benefits and conveniences. Moreover, he had always had a good relationship with the Merchant Alliance, and Raphael was his best friend.

The matter was happily decided. Fang Yan ordered the kitchen to serve the food. In addition to eating and reminiscing about the past, Fang Yan also told the three of them his plan in full.

Brown was very excited. Although he had worked for the Galactic Alliance, it did not mean that he agreed with or liked that group of bureaucrats. Fang Yan decided that no matter how difficult it was, he would develop the entire industrial chain and take his destiny firmly into his own hands. Brown agreed wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Blu-ray Technology is no longer what it used to be. A large number of engineers and scientists have spontaneously gathered together, giving the company human resources with sufficient scale. Not to mention large-scale industrial plans, even establishing an academy of engineering and an academy of sciences, and establishing various research institutes is not a difficult task.

In addition, Fang Yan also talked about space detection technology, how to find space bubbles, detect and open space cracks. Brown was amazed and felt that he had been taught an extremely profound space knowledge class.

Brown looked at Fang Yan in disbelief, wondering where he had learned this knowledge that was far beyond the level of the Milky Way.
