Shi Tianwu shared with you the magnetic field rotation

Chapter 372 First Contact

τ, the nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, means life and resurrection in ancient Greek.

Astronomers named the only star not infected by the star-devouring organism τ in the hope that τ Cetus could give the Sun and Earth a new lease on life.

Five days later, the Mary of Blessings entered the orbit of the star Tau Ceti, its engines shut down, and the entire spacecraft entered a state of weightlessness.

"Are your seatbelts fastened? I'm about to start centrifuge mode."

"I'm ready."

Inside the control room, Ding Yi and Ryan secured themselves to the pilot's seat. When Ding Yi pressed the button, the spaceship began its centrifugal motion.

The design of the Myriad Blessings Maria is full of ingenuity, completely shattering Ding Yi's preconceived notions about spaceships. This ship is the culmination of the wisdom of scientists on Earth and their last hope.

The alarm sounded on the Myriad Blessings Maria. After the alarm stopped, the main body of the spaceship deformed and began to rotate. The two people inside the spaceship did not feel that they were rotating with the spaceship, but instead felt the long-lost 1g.

"Get to work!!"

Ryan was in high spirits and used the Petrova Mirror to observe Tau Ceti, searching for Petrova radiation.

As the asteroid moves, it emits Petrova frequencies. Ryan needs to find out which planets in the Tau system the asteroid is moving between the Tau star and the surrounding planets.

The star Tau Ceti is surrounded by star systems infected with alligators, which must have also arrived in the Tau system. However, the Tau system has some mechanism to resist the infection of alligators, so the stellar radiation of the Tau star has not been reduced at all.

Ding Yi was observing the Tau galaxy with a visible light telescope; the two were each performing their own tasks.

Ryan was incredibly grateful that he had chosen to join the chat group instead of refusing it when he first woke up; otherwise, he would have been searching alone in this distant galaxy for a way to save his homeland.

"I've found the Petrova line!!" Ryan shouted excitedly.

“I’ve also made a discovery; it seems there are other people here,” Ding Yi said.

"What do you mean?" Ryan looked up at Ding Yi.

"I spotted something that looks like a spaceship, and it's approaching us," Ding Yi said.

"Are you sure?" Ryan asked nervously.

"The tail of that thing emits a strong light, and its shape resembles a rock, but it's a rock with a geometric design. You should take a look too," Ding Yi replied.

They accessed the two observation mirrors on the spacecraft's computer screen; Ding Yi swiped his hand to bring the image from the visible light telescope to Ryan's view.

“…We need to stop centrifuge mode immediately, or we’ll become a sitting duck,” Ryan said.

Ryan was very nervous.

It is suspected that it encountered aliens shortly after entering the constellation Tau Cetus.

The centrifuge mode, which had only been running for a dozen minutes, was deactivated, the rotation speed slowed down, the released cable was tightened back into the hull, and the hull deformed again to return to its original shape.

“What should we do?” Ryan asked Ding Yi.

"Have you never considered the possibility of encountering aliens?" Ding Yi asked.

"Who knew we'd encounter aliens here!" Ryan exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't get too excited," Ding Yi said.

“Those are aliens piloting spaceships!” Ryan exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"Is it possible that the aliens on that ship, like us, were also in the Tau system searching for a solution to the planeteer infection?" Ding Yi said.

“Extraterrestrial civilizations with a higher level of civilization than ours wouldn’t be troubled by the asteroid problem, while extraterrestrial civilizations with a lower level of civilization than ours would be helpless against the asteroid problem. The planetary civilization that flew to the Tau Ceti system must be at a similar level of civilization,” Ding Yi said. “Ding Yi, you’re a genius,” Ryan said in surprise.

“I’ve always known I’m a genius,” Ding Yi replied calmly.

"Another possibility is that they are native to the Tau galaxy, whose civilization is more advanced than Earth's, and they solved the problem of the asteroid infection themselves."

"Take a look with the Petrova lens."

"What are you looking at?" Ryan asked.

“Let’s see if their spaceships use planeteers as fuel. If so, then the possibility that they are a local civilization is very low,” Ding Yi said.

"understood."

Under the observation of the Petrova Mirror, dark red Petrova radiation was seen in the light emitted from the tail of the unknown rock spacecraft, indicating that the unknown spacecraft, like the Myriad Blessed Maria, used asteroids as its fuel.

“Then, it’s the first one,” Ding Yi said.

“What is he doing flying over here? Is he going to attack us?” Ryan asked.

"Try sending a message to the other party and see if they will stop and reply." Ding Yi operated the engine from the driver's seat, making the propeller engine spray and then shut off rhythmically.

"What signal did you send to the other side? Can aliens understand it?"

“I didn’t consider whether they would understand it or not; I just told them we had found them,” Ding Yi replied.

"Look, they've stopped."

The unknown spaceship's engines stopped working, but the spaceship continued to approach the Myriad Blessings Maria, finally stopping a few hundred meters away.

“The other party probably doesn’t mean any harm,” Ding Yi said.

As the alien spaceship drew closer, Ding Yi and Ryan used a visible light telescope to see more details of its surface. The spaceship was covered with grid-like tracks, and a small, robot-like device moved along these tracks. When it faced the Myriad Blessings Maria, the robot threw out a cylinder.

"That's not a bomb, is it?" Ryan nervously bit his fingernails.

"The honor of making the first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization should be given to you," Ding Yi said to Ryan.

"How can you be so sure that thing isn't a bomb? Even if it isn't, are you sure it's harmless to humans?"

“Ryan, calm down and listen to me.” Ding Yi pressed down on Ryan’s shoulder.

"Asteroid infection is a matter of life and death for intelligent life on a planet."

"Those who are entrusted with high hopes to go to the Tau Ceti star system bear the mission of saving their homeland. Those selected in the personnel selection process must be people with a spirit of sacrifice and people who are recognized by the people."

"If we were to fight each other with other civilizations at our destination, it would defeat the purpose of saving our homeland."

"Different civilizations have come to the only star system that can save their home planet, and cooperation is the only option."

"Is this what you just thought of?" At this moment, Ryan felt that Ding Yi must also have a master's degree in psychology.

"..." Ding Yi didn't answer; instead, he was stunned.

At that very moment, Ding Yi suddenly comprehended the Dark Forest Law of the universe.

Thanks to Ryan Grace, who always felt that the alien spaceship had ill intentions towards their Blessed Maria.
