The system handed me over to the state.

The captain stared at Niwen on the screen, his expression cold and serious. Niwen was also surprised by the Chinese he was speaking; it was the same language as them!

For a moment, Niwen panicked. The reconnaissance ship's power had been destroyed, and they had no way to escape. Their communication system had just been blocked by something unknown, otherwise they wouldn't have been forced to communicate with the other side.

"We...we just stumbled upon this place by mistake. According to our observations, the civilization in this galaxy has not yet ventured out of the universe, so we came here to explore out of curiosity!"

"We mean no harm, we are definitely not enemies!"

Niwen began to emphasize their force field and explained their purpose.

Their ships were passing through this star system with the sole purpose of exploring the civilization within it. According to their observations, the civilization in the solar system did not have a space fleet or any trace of other civilizations' colonies, which is why they entered in this way.

Niwen felt a little scared. Their ship's cloaking device would be difficult for any low-level civilization to detect, but the other side was able to find it! They could even quickly determine the exact location of their ship, and there was this strange gravity weapon. Once they were captured, their ship could not escape even at full power.

Is the other party... really a civilization that hasn't even stepped out of its own galaxy?

Such technology is something many intermediate civilizations might not be able to research, but the other side has gravity technology, detection devices that can see through their cloaking devices, and laser weapons that can directly ignore the shields of reconnaissance ships.

The captain suddenly realized something: if they really followed the Queen's plan... they would face...

Niwen couldn't help but gasp. At the same time, the captain looked at Bronya and said, "Doctor, what do you think? That huge fleet, I don't think they're just passing by."

Bronya crossed her arms. "Civilizations that have entered the interstellar age love nothing more than searching for other civilizations. Once found, they either establish diplomacy with the other civilization on an equal footing, or they rely on their far superior technology and fleet to enslave it."

"And if we encounter a more powerful civilization, we will either be wiped out or become their lackeys."

"One reconnaissance ship is not enough to demonstrate the overall strength of the enemy fleet. Capture this reconnaissance aircraft and bring it back to Earth. Report the incident to Su Su. Meanwhile, the other two ships will continue their probing missions."

"We've already blocked communications, so they won't find out about the missing reconnaissance ship anytime soon. Let's use this time to complete the reconnaissance mission as quickly as possible."

"Understood, Doctor. We will proceed according to your plan."

The captain turned his attention back to the screen. "Captain Niwen, after discussion, we have decided that one of our ships will take you to Earth for rest and recuperation. There, our professional diplomats will meet with you."

"etc...."

"Is there anything else, Captain Niwen?"

Niwen hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I hope... that you can temporarily lift the communication blockade against us. We hope to contact our own fleet, which will dispatch ships to rescue us, and professional diplomats will also contact you. What do you think?"

“I’m sorry, Captain Niwen, I refuse this proposal. Please understand that if you have a fleet stationed outside the area, this matter is not as simple as you just described.”

"We have reason to suspect that you intend to invade our homeland. We will now arrest you and release you only after your fleet explains its purpose!"

Seeing the anxiety and despair on Niwen's face, the captain smiled and added, "Don't worry, we treat prisoners well and won't mistreat you."

The captain abruptly ended the communications and ordered a ship to take their alien friends back to Earth, and to send a message to His Majesty explaining the situation.

The other two ships will continue their probing missions.

.........

"Alien reconnaissance ships? Can this information be confirmed?"

"Confirmed, Your Majesty. Dr. Bronya's fleet captured one of the enemy's reconnaissance ships en route. Here are the details."

Su Mengyao took the tablet and began to carefully browse the detailed information. Currently, the spaceship has been imprisoned at the lunar base. The spaceship has been seized, and all the other personnel are being held in the lunar base, where they are being treated well with good food and drink.

Researchers have already begun studying each other's spacecraft, and due to the shared language, the research is progressing very quickly.

"Hmm...that's interesting, aliens, and they look like this at that..."

"Cat-eared girls... I feel like if we continue to interact with this civilization, things might get a little messy."

The main reason Su Mengyao said this was because the other party's race was cat-eared girls. Cat-eared girls are the most popular group in the mainstream culture of young people in China. Under such circumstances, if she were to engage in diplomacy with them, she might be exploited by some opportunistic individuals in China to mislead or mislead young people.

Su Mengyao could roughly guess what they wanted to do. Although it was just some trivial matter, Su Mengyao was still somewhat unhappy that they were leading the young people of China into the trap of capitalists.

"We still need to be careful..."

"Butler, prepare the ship. Target: lunar base. I want to see for myself what these aliens are really after."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is urgent news!"

Just as Su Mengyao was about to set off, an urgent message from the guard forced her to postpone her trip. "What's wrong? What urgent message?"

"Your Majesty! A message just arrived from the lunar base: the spaceship's developers discovered several people hiding inside the cabin during their research, one of whom is Princess Keponia!"

Su Mengyao immediately spat out her drink. "What the hell, Your Highness! Why would a princess like you be on a reconnaissance ship? Is it a custom of the Keponian civilization for the fleet commander to personally lead the ships on reconnaissance?"

"Head to the lunar base immediately! Damn it, this is going to be bad!"

What if the opposing civilization realizes that the princess has been captured and becomes desperate? At this stage, they are not entirely clear about the strength of the opposing fleet; what if they launch a surprise attack?

Meanwhile, on the lunar base, Niwen and several crew members were locked in a room with soft beds, complete living facilities, and even televisions and computers with internet access.

However, Niwen and the others had no such thoughts. They were very anxious because of the princess. They didn't know what state the princess was in. Their spaceship had been seized by a civilization called the Earth Alliance.

Her Highness is currently hiding inside the spaceship. If this civilization discovers her... things will be very serious. If something untoward happens to her, and the Queen blames her, her life will be in danger!

Thinking of this, Niwen paced back and forth in the room faster and faster. A crew member beside her said helplessly, "Captain, what... do we do now?"

"There's nothing we can do! Damn it... I don't know how Her Highness is doing. I'm so worried. If anything happens to Her Highness, none of us will escape!"

Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Niwen immediately rushed to the door, staring at the soldiers in front of her. Niwen asked anxiously, "When can we meet your commander?"

The soldier remained calm. "Captain Niwen, please calm down and follow me. We have something to ask you, and we need your cooperation in our operation."

"I...I know..."

Niwen nodded, calming herself down, and turned to her crew, saying, "You wait here, I'll go check the situation."

"Understood, Captain."

Niwen then left the room, and as she followed the soldiers, she asked, "Excuse me, how is our spaceship?"

"Captain Niwen, we have not restricted your freedom of movement. You are free to go anywhere except the restricted areas of the base. Your ship is currently undergoing repairs in the hangar, and the progress is good. You can check on it at any time."

"I...I know, it's just..."

She was just scared! She was afraid that as soon as she stepped out, she would be followed, and what if she did something bad and they reported it to them and treated her as a spy?

The soldier noticed the worry on Niwen's face out of the corner of his eye, so he spoke again: "Captain Niwen, as a visitor from an alien civilization, you may not know much about our base and civilization. We can send a guide to show you around our lunar base."

"Trust me, you will love our base."

"Oh...oh...I...I understand."

Niwen followed the soldier blankly to a room. The soldier gestured for Niwen to enter, so Niwen pushed open the door and slowly walked in. When she saw the person inside, she was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to shout, but she stopped herself immediately.

Before her stood the princess and her four guards in the room, while a middle-aged human man smiled and spoke with her.

"Hey! Captain Niwen, you're here!"

"Uh... um..."

Niwen was momentarily speechless. The princess looked at Niwen and smiled, "Captain Niwen, it's alright. They already know my identity. Aren't we here for diplomatic purposes?"

"Now the Earth Alliance is willing to engage in diplomacy with us and hopes to establish friendly relations and exchanges. Hehe, aren't I amazing?"

Niwen was speechless... In the end, she could only nod, a forced smile on her face, "Yes...yes, Your Highness, you...you are very capable..."

The princess smiled and looked at the middle-aged man beside her, saying, "Then, we just need to wait for the spaceship to be repaired so we can return to the fleet."

"I will tell Mother about our friendly relations with the Earth Alliance and the fact that both sides are willing to exchange information amicably."

The head of the lunar base smiled and nodded, "Haha, yes, yes, this is a good thing. This is also our first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, and we are happy to communicate with civilizations that are willing to engage in friendly exchanges."

"If possible, please convey my greeting to Your Majesty the Queen. The Earth United Organization is willing to sincerely engage with the Kaiponia Civilization."

The princess's smile grew even brighter. "Yes, yes! I definitely will! I will definitely tell Mother!"

Next, Her Highness continued her cheerful conversation with the person in charge of the lunar base, during which they discussed many cultural aspects and even touched upon a little bit of military matters.

Niwen stood to the side, smiling, but looking extremely embarrassed. This was completely different from their plan. What were they going to do...?

Meanwhile, in the monitoring area of ​​the lunar base, Su Mengyao frowned as she stared at the peaceful conversation unfolding on the monitor screen. "This princess is quite formidable."

“Indeed, Your Majesty, this princess is very knowledgeable, with expertise in culture, politics, and military affairs. The conversation is so smooth and fluent, and most importantly, look at the captain’s expression next to her.”

“I can be certain of one thing: the purpose of the Keponian civilization is definitely not to come here to engage in diplomacy with us; they absolutely have other motives.”

Su Mengyao nodded and pondered, "And did you hear that? She just said that they originally thought we were a civilization that hadn't yet left our own planet, but the truth was beyond their expectations."

"Therefore, I have reason to suspect that this princess is probably also kept in the dark. She herself doesn't know what the civilized fleet is here for. She thinks she's here for diplomacy, but the reality is... well, let's just say it's a different story!"

Su Mengyao smiled and said, while Lao Yu frowned, "In that case, we can only wait for news from the probing fleet."

"As long as we can get specific information about the enemy fleet, even if we are attacked, we will have some ability to defend ourselves. But I'm still worried... what if they find out that the princess is in our hands and become desperate?"

"It's alright. The paradox has already taken off. Time stop is our greatest weapon. Even if we are attacked, we will have enough time to react."

"Next, let's patiently wait for news from the probing fleet,"

Chapter 401: Boarding Over!

"We have located the fleet and have begun recording it."

"Preliminary observations show that the fleet consists of a total of 120 ships, of which 78 are large and have obvious weaponry, 118 have indistinct weaponry but are equipped with energy shields, and only one ship has no obvious armament or energy shield."

Bronya frowned. "Something's not right. Why are some ships without energy shields?"

"The message from the lunar base is that the princess of the Keponian civilization is on board the enemy's reconnaissance ship. Five days have passed since we captured the reconnaissance ship, so it's impossible that the enemy hasn't noticed the problem."

"Therefore, we must make sure that this probe yields useful information."

"Captain, are you ready?"

"Ready, Doctor, we can begin at any time!"

Bronya nodded. "Let's begin. Attack them from the flanks. Once a counterattack is detected, immediately activate the short-range warp device to switch positions."

"Understood, Doctor. Announcement: All crew, take your combat positions. Everyone prepare for combat. Short-range teleportation devices are warming up. Boarding personnel, please take note!"

Yes, in order to fully explore the enemy's strength, this time the ship also has special boarding personnel on shoelaces. The power armor worn by the boarding personnel is a special type. On the basis of the original special power armor, three types of shields have been added: mental barrier, kinetic barrier and energy barrier, which can defend against three types of attacks: mental power, kinetic weapon and energy weapon.

Meanwhile, their standard weaponry includes a heavy power hammer, a super-heavy electromagnetic cannon, and an energy sword for close combat. Finally, the power armor also features a jetpack on the back, which can help boarding personnel overcome the complex environment inside the ship.

Once the attack begins, the boarding personnel will use a short-range warp device to directly warp into the enemy ship and take control of the ship's interior while minimizing casualties.

If we're lucky, we might even be able to abduct an enemy warship and all its crew to take back for a thorough study.

The captain glanced at his wristwatch, and in the few seconds it took for the hands to meet, he immediately gave the order: "Launch the missiles! Begin the attack!"

In an instant, the two cruisers deactivated their cloaking, and the missile launchers on both sides of the ships fired a large number of missiles glowing with a pale purple light at the ships on the flanks of the Keponian document fleet.
