The system handed me over to the state.

"Based on our observations, the ship is approximately 3 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide, with an overall rectangular shape. We have not yet observed any weapons. It may be a transport ship or a colony ship."

"The other ships are only a hundred meters long at the smallest and about 1 kilometer at the longest."

"I feel like we've got this under control."

Su Mengyao's sudden words startled Bronya, Black Seele, and Seele, who were standing nearby. Bronya crossed her arms and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"

"If we use the paradox to stop time, our assault ships can just charge in and ram them. One ship after another will sink. It's that simple."

"With the modified Paradox, time can now be stopped from several tens of minutes to an hour. Isn't an hour enough for us to change the course of the battle?"

Bronya, however, was not so optimistic. "We don't even know what kind of technology they have. It's too optimistic of us. If they have a more powerful shield, we might not even be able to break through their defenses. What's the point of stopping time for an hour?"

Su Mengyao pouted, somewhat unhappy. Hmm, why is everyone contradicting her?

Hei hope reached out and gently pinched Su Mengyao's cheek. "Little Su Su, don't be too happy. Aren't you afraid that they won't fight us and will attack us from a distance?"

"Moreover, we've discovered them, and they've definitely discovered us too. What we're about to face is a space war that China has never experienced before, not just a war within a planet!"

"Ugh! I know! I'm not a little kid anymore, don't pinch my cheeks!"

Su Mengyao slapped Hei Xi's hand away, maintaining her dignified expression, and said, "In short, starting today! The Shenzhou army enters a state of war, all ships are activated and stationed, and reconnaissance ships are dispatched to the vicinity of the local fleet to investigate the specific situation."

"Send three missile cruisers to probe their strength. Remember, it's a probe, not an attack. They must come back alive and preserve their strength."

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

Su Mengyao looked at Bronya beside her and smiled, "So, the guide of Shenzhou, is there anything you would like to say to me?"

Bronya sighed. "I understand. I'll set off with the reconnaissance fleet. I can protect their retreat if necessary."

"I'm relieved to hear that. Hmm... as a reward, you can hold me while I sleep during my vacation?"

Bronya's gaze was icy. "You may have a day off, but I might not. Besides... would you be comfortable holding Seele?"

Blackie's gaze instantly fixed on Bronya, whose body trembled slightly. She quickly changed her words, saying, "Why would I sleep with you if you're not even as good as Blackie?"

Bronya leaned forward slightly. "You...you don't actually think that just because you're a little girl, and an emperor at that, it's comfortable for you to hold you, do you?"

Su Mengyao raised an eyebrow, intending to argue, but the butler coughed lightly beside her. Su Mengyao immediately turned her head and glared at the butler, "Why are you coughing! Why are you coughing? Believe me or not, I'll send you back to your hometown to recuperate right now!"

"Your Majesty, please be mindful of your demeanor and words."

Su Mengyao pouted, "You talk as if anyone cares about me, tsk!"

"Alright, is there anything else? If not, let's move on to the next thing!"

The butler shook his head. "Nothing for now. If His Majesty has nothing else to do, you may prepare to go to the United Nations headquarters in Asia for a joint meeting."

"Oh, I remember now, are the three of you coming?"

Bronya shook her head. "Black Seele, Seele, and I will go directly to the reconnaissance fleet. You hold the meeting and settle the situation at home. We'll handle foreign affairs and resolve the fleet issue."

Su Mengyao smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, that's exactly what I've been waiting for! Let's do it!"

After Su Mengyao left, Bronya turned around and asked, "Can the two of you handle life in space?"

"Hmm...I don't know. I should be fine. What about you, Seele?"

Seele shook her head. "Seele is fine, but Seele is worried... about the ship. Will it be very bumpy? Seele is afraid she won't be able to sleep at night."

Well, it's okay if I can't sleep at night. There won't be any turbulence during normal navigation and space jumps, but there might be a slight tremor before and after a jump.

"Don't worry, you won't feel any jolted while you sleep."

"Okay, then Seele is all set. Do we need to pack her luggage in advance?"

"No need, the luggage you packed earlier is enough."

At that moment, Blackie suddenly grabbed Bronya, who turned around in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"What happened to me before? I woke up feeling completely better all of a sudden. Can you take me to see Tong Xi? What did she say?"

Bronya shook her head. "It's nothing. You're just not feeling well, but it's not an ordinary illness. Your condition is quite special. I've reported the situation to the medical department for superpowered individuals in the country so they can make some preparations in case others get this disease."

Hei hope was a little confused. "I... I feel like I didn't understand? So what's wrong with me?"

However, Blackie remained stubborn and continued to press for answers. Bronya shook her head, insisting that Blackie was not seriously ill, but only had a minor ailment.

Although Hei hope had her doubts, seeing the seriousness on Bronya's face, her suspicions gradually disappeared, and she finally acquiesced to this explanation, thinking that perhaps it really was just a minor illness.

"Let's go!"

After letting go of the matter, Black Seele walked out of the room first. Before Bronya could leave, Seele tugged at Bronya's sleeve. "Um... Bronya, are you really not going to tell us? Is it really okay to keep this from Black Seele?"

Bronya shook her head. "There's no need. She's fine, just a few minor ailments that have been cured. There's no need to worry about it anymore."

"Besides, you've told her too much. What will you do if she keeps thinking about it every day?"

Seele blinked. "Hmm... okay, Seele will keep it a secret for Bronya."

Bronya turned her head, reached out and lightly tapped Seele's nose. "Silly girl, I have no objection even if you say it. You've said it, so be it. But it's better not to say it if you can avoid it."

"Alright, that's settled, let's go."

"Ok!"

...........

"How much longer until we arrive?"

The cat-eared girl looked out at the starry sky and felt a little bored. The female cat-eared captain beside her smiled and said, "Your Highness, interstellar travel is such a boring thing. However, our reconnaissance ship is very fast. It should only take about a week to reach that star system."

"Hmm...I know, but what are we supposed to do when we get there?"

The captain sat down next to the princess, handed her his drink, and said softly, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry about these things. Just leave them to us."

"Um... thank you, but could you tell me what exactly needs to be done?"

"Alright, since Your Highness wants to hear it, I'll just say a few words."

"After we arrive at our destination, we will send spaceships to land on their civilization's main habitable planet to investigate the specifics of their planetary civilization. We will also activate the spaceships' cloaking devices to investigate colonies on nearby planets."

"If we can't land, we'll observe from orbit. If we can, we'll try to connect to their network, um... provided they're a technologically advanced civilization like ours."

"I see... But what if they attack us? If they attack us, should we fight back? Or should we just run away?"

The princess was very curious. After all, this was the first time their civilization had come into contact with an alien civilization, and no one knew what would happen. The ears on her head twitched a few times. The captain smiled and said, "Your Highness, you can rest assured. Our spaceship is equipped with the most advanced stealth devices. Even a low-level civilization would have a hard time detecting us. A civilization that hasn't even left its own star system will not be able to detect us."

"At that time, you will be able to appreciate that beautiful, habitable planet. It is just as beautiful and magnificent as our home planet."

"These planets that nurture life must all be this beautiful and magnificent."

"Yes, definitely. Every planet like this is a great mother."

The captain smiled, stood up and said, "Alright, Your Highness, you should get some rest."

"Uh-huh!"

After leaving the princess's room, the captain sighed, "She really is a naive princess... I don't know why Her Majesty the Queen brought Her Highness along."

"Forget it, whatever, that's it!"

The captain pressed the button on his wristwatch. "Attention all crew! Enter wartime readiness and be prepared for battle at any time! We are likely facing a fierce battle!"

Chapter 398: The Lost Herrscher of Reason

"So, the living conditions on the starship are no different from ordinary dormitories. In addition, there is artificial gravity. I thought we could fly inside the spaceship."

"If you want to gain weight, I can try to experience living in that kind of environment every day."

Seele turned her head, looking confused. "Why? Why am I getting fat?"

"When you are active in a weightless environment for a long time, the water in your body will gradually rise to the top, which will make your face look a little fatter, making you look like you have gained weight."

"Hmm... but you still haven't gained weight!"

Seele pouted, Bronya chuckled, walked to the dormitory window, and looked out at the beautiful Earth, the great mother planet that nurtured human civilization.

"So beautiful..."

"Yes, it's really beautiful. Do you think other habitable planets are just as beautiful?"

Hei Xi stood by the window, looking at the Earth outside, and asked, Bronya smiled, "Of course, it will be even more beautiful after we move in. Of course, there aren't that many humans right now, so not many people can migrate out."

"So, human expansion might slow down a bit in the future. Let's focus on securing our own backyard first."

"Is Dr. Bronya here?"

Just then, a voice came from the dormitory door. Bronya turned around and looked at the soldier at the door. "It's me. What's wrong?"

"The captain wants you to come to the bridge, saying there is something important he needs to discuss with you."

"I understand, I'll be right there."

Bronya nodded and looked at Blackie, saying, "You two tidy up here first, then wander around and get a feel for the roads. I'll go to the bridge first."

"Well, let's go."

Blackie waved her hand, signaling Bronya to go ahead and not worry about what was happening here. Bronya then followed the warrior toward the bridge.

Upon arriving at the bridge, a man in a gray military uniform stepped forward and exclaimed excitedly, "Dr. Bronya, you've arrived!"

"Um, is there anything you need me for? I don't think I'm of much use to you."

Bronya looked around at the bridge. It was nice, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with her. She probably didn't need to come.

"Here's the thing, we've made a discovery that might require your assistance."

"I'll handle this? Aren't you the captain?"

Bronya was confused. "Aren't you the captain? If you, the captain, aren't doing anything, why are you looking for me?"

"I am the captain, that's true, but Doctor, your status and rank are higher than mine. This matter is quite serious, so I need to inform you so you can make the decision."

Bronya sighed. "Alright, alright, go ahead and tell me what it is."

The captain's smile turned serious. "It's like this. Before we set off, we used a space scanner to scan the area around the star system, and we discovered a strange place."

The captain retrieved the relevant data: "We have discovered a strange gravitational warp point within the galaxy, and this gravitational warp point is moving rapidly, heading straight for us. It will reach Earth's location in less than a week."

"We don't yet know how this gravitational warp point was formed, so we need your help, Doctor."

Bronya stared at the data in front of her, her brows furrowed and her expression equally serious. "The gravitational warp point... are there any other anomalies?"
