The system handed me over to the state.

"If we keep flying inwards, what if the drone stops working halfway through?"

Su Xi was somewhat worried. If the drones stopped working, wouldn't they be unable to achieve their goal today? That wouldn't do! How would they get through the energy storm if that happened?

Regarding Su Xi's concerns, Bronya said there was no need to worry, as the drones were operating relatively normally at present.

"However... it's still a bit strange... Generally speaking, this kind of energy storm is extremely destructive, so where does its destructiveness lie?"

Yes, an energy storm, an energy storm. Since it can be called a storm, it must be a very destructive storm. However, so far they have only seen the pulse interference effect of this storm. Without protection, the spaceship can easily be invaded by the pulse interference wave, and a large number of electronic devices on the ship will be burned and destroyed.

If the ship's electronic equipment is disabled, and the artificial gravity system and life support system—two crucial pieces of equipment for humanity—are destroyed, the spaceship will quickly become a steel coffin.

"Lethality... She disabled all the electronic equipment in the spaceship, isn't that its lethality?"

Su Xi muttered to herself as she spoke, and Bronya shrugged, "Probably... but that's not that important. How's the situation on your end?"

"There was a slight delay in operation. The drone's field of vision was filled with pulse particles, and we couldn't see anything. Also, I felt that the drone was starting to deviate from our actions, as if it was spinning with the storm."

Bronya glanced at the movement trajectory recorded on the bridge, and indeed, the drone's trajectory had begun to shift horizontally in the direction of the storm's rotation.

"Can it be turned around?"

Seele shook her head. "No, Bronya, we can't turn it around. It's like we're being held back by something. We can't get anything going in any direction except the direction of the rotation."

Bronya frowned. This was a bit strange. This was only the edge of the storm. How could the edge have such a strong gravitational pull that it could grab the drone?

If the spaceship were to rush in, wouldn't it crash directly into that unknown planet in the middle in no time?

Furthermore, why is there a planet at the center of the storm, and what does that planet represent? Is it the core from which the storm was born? Or an unexpectedly surviving planet?

So, is there any life that survives up there?

"Bronya, the drones are starting to go out of control."

At this moment, Hei hope suddenly reminded her. Bronya looked up and saw that the drone screen in the picture had started to flicker and had become static, and the communication status had become extremely unstable.

A few minutes later, the screen suddenly disappeared, and the drone completely lost communication with the ship. At the same time, Bronya lost control of her construct.

The moment they lost connection with their creator, the three drones, engulfed in the magnificent storm, rapidly transformed into the most primal constructive energy and slowly dissipated.

"The drones have lost contact with me. They will disappear soon after losing contact with me. Now we have to solve another problem."

"We can confirm that mechanical constructs entering the storm's range will be affected by the pulse. The Iron Curtain can shield against this effect, as can a high-power anti-jamming shield."

"Therefore, we have initially solved the problem of the spaceship turning into a steel coffin. Now we need to solve how to escape from the gravitational pull of the storm's center."

Yes, otherwise even if they escaped the electromagnetic storm, if they couldn't overcome the gravitational pull, they would be pulled directly to the central planet by the storm, crash, or never be able to leave again.

Bronya could even imagine that many spaceships had tried, some succeeding and some failing. The failed spaceships either became coffins or were trapped on the planet in the middle.

Of course, this is just speculation. It's hard to say whether there were any survivors on that planet under such a strong pulse storm.

"How about...we try a gravity slingshot?"

One of the crew members tried to offer a suggestion. Bronya looked at Su Xi, who sighed, "We can try, but the specifics are unclear. We don't know if we'll fly out directly using gravity or accelerate through the bend and crash headfirst into it."

As the captain, Su Xi possesses comprehensive knowledge in all aspects. The drone data has been handed over to the ship's scientific researchers for analysis. Before the detailed results are available, they can only analyze and speculate based on their existing knowledge.

"Then... how about we just warp in and rush over there?"

Another crew member had some wild ideas. She had obviously forgotten the most basic requirements for warp. Such a strong pulse storm would interfere with their precise warp coordinates, and it was very likely that after they warped out, they would be a hundred and eight thousand miles away from their destination.

"If warping were really that easy, that would be great... but unfortunately it's not. Let's find another solution."

Bronya shook her head, rejecting the plan, and warped over directly... The power required for the interference shield of that spaceship was far beyond what the current shield core inside the spaceship could provide; it was far too much of a difference.

"So... all we can do is rush in and leave everything to fate?"

Seele's voice was heavy. Didn't they have a good way to get through safely?

For a moment, the atmosphere on the bridge fell slightly silent. At this moment, Hei hope said thoughtfully, "Why do I feel like I'm watching a space version of Jumanji?"

Everyone looked at Hei Xi with a hint of confusion. Hei hope explained, "Look, we have a huge problem. We can either run away or rush in. If we rush in, we can't get out safely. What we need is luck and courage."

"Isn't this a bit like Jumanji?"

"So, is our mission this time, in some sense, a test of courage put on us by some advanced civilization?"

Chapter 434: Alien Warship

"Still standing guard here? Aren't you going to take a rest?"

Hei hope, holding a cup of cola, walked up to Bronya and stood down. She had been wondering where Bronya was, and now she realized she was on the bridge. Judging from her appearance, she had probably been standing there all morning without having lunch.

"I'm not tired... I don't feel much while eating either. I'm still thinking about how we should get through..."

"Still thinking about these things? The results aren't out yet, so why not just wait patiently? Wouldn't it be better to relax during this time and prepare for the next steps?"

Bronya sighed, took the drink Blackie handed her, sipped it, and said, "I'm still worried about whether we can get through smoothly. After all, the current situation is really not very optimistic."

"If we have an outpost here, I can spend time modifying the ships and adding a lot of protective and emergency equipment, which will greatly increase our chances of getting through the storm."

"But now, it's very difficult for me to modify the ship, so I'm much less confident."

Hei hope patted Bronya on the shoulder, "Don't worry about these things. If we can really get through, then this is destined. If we can't, then we can only accept the fact."

"You seem to take it easy, but this is a matter of our lives. Although we can operate in space for a period of time, under my protection, all of us can even survive in space for a long time."

"But this is at best an emergency measure, not an escape method at all..."

"Furthermore, have you considered how we'll get back after losing our ships?"

Hei hope shook her head. "I'm not too concerned about these issues. What I care about right now is you."

Bronya smiled. "I'm in good physical and mental condition, but the difficulties I'm facing are bothering me. Thank you for your concern."

"You're overthinking this. Perhaps you should try to trust the ship's scientists instead of brooding over it all by yourself. Don't you agree?"

Bronya blinked. "I understand what you mean. Hmm... that makes sense. I'll go to the lab and help analyze the data then."

With that, Bronya turned and left the bridge, heading towards the laboratory. Black Seele covered her forehead speechlessly. No! That's not what she meant! She didn't want her to go into the lab to do research! She just wanted Bronya to spend some time with her and Seele!

"This guy...how did he become so oblivious? He wasn't like this when he was pursuing us..."

Looking back a few years ago, the three of them lived together, and every day was filled with romantic meals arranged by Bronya, sweet words, and constant care and love. How did this happen?

The reason things have turned out this way is because once the honeymoon period was over, it was difficult to return to the way things were before...

"Forget it... this blockhead... I'll ignore her and go back to Seele."

Hei hope lost interest immediately and decisively turned and left, heading towards Xi'er who was still in the dormitory.

For the next few days, Bronya stayed in the lab and ignored all communication requests from Black Seele and Seele.

Hei hope was a little angry about this, but it was a private matter after all. In terms of official business, Hei hope and Xi'er still participated as usual, but both of them were a little... awkward.

During the meeting on the bridge, Bronya looked at the documents in her hand. Black Seele and Seele stood far away from Bronya. Su Xi, who saw this, also realized that something was wrong. Usually, the three of them were inseparable. Why were they so far apart today? Had something happened?

So before the meeting started, Su Xi leaned close to Hei hope and whispered, "Did you two have a fight?"

Hei hope glared at Su Xi and said coldly, "Go do your own thing. It's better if you don't interfere in our private matters."

Su Xi muttered a few words. They really had a fight, but what was it about? They hadn't seemed to have any disagreements these past few days. Could it be...?

Su Xi thought of a possibility, so she moved closer to Bronya and smiled at her, "Bronya, have you done something wrong lately?"

Bronya tilted her head in confusion. "What?"

"As the saying goes, couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed. Any conflict can be resolved by sacrificing a little of yourself, right?"

Bronya was a little confused by Su Xi's inexplicable words. "No... I don't understand what you're saying?"

"Hey! Didn't you have a fight with Hei hope and the others?"

'Arguing? Did you?'

Bronya instinctively glanced to her side, but didn't see Black Seele or Seele. She circled the bridge before finally spotting the two standing some distance away. Seele looked somewhat embarrassed, smiled, and turned her head away. Black Seele glared at Bronya before turning away again, ignoring her. At that moment, Bronya understood what was going on...

"You've misunderstood, we didn't have a fight."

"really?"

"Really, I'll go over and clear up the misunderstanding after this meeting, so you don't need to worry about it. Also... I still don't mind you using your own private habits to judge and advise others."

Su Xi blushed. "This isn't a private matter! It's something from the older generation! Just like what your parents taught you, my mom taught me."

Bronya shrugged. "I understand. If there's nothing else, let's get started on the meeting."

"Okay, let's begin, as you said."

Su Xi turned her gaze to the bridge, tapped the table in front of her to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare the meeting officially open. The first thing to do is to discuss the relevant data within the energy storm."

"Let's begin."

Su Xi looked at the researchers around Bronya. The researchers nodded, adjusted their glasses, and began their reports: "Based on our test results, we have analyzed most of the storm's data and obtained first-hand information. We can confirm one thing."

"If we go inside the storm, assuming we can withstand all the dangers it brings, even then, we still cannot escape its gravitational pull."

"Once we enter the storm, we will inevitably follow its rotation and enter its core area. There will be no way we can escape!"

The first result immediately silenced everyone. Su Xi already knew the result, so she didn't show much surprise. But the others were different. After hearing the result, they all expressed shock and said, "Isn't this just moving towards death?"

Once inside, they might never come out again, and the spaceship could even crash into the planet and explode. Moreover, it's uncertain whether they can survive the dangers of the storm.

"So how do we get through this storm? Does this result mean that no matter what methods we use, we have no way to get through it?"

The researcher nodded. "Yes, with our current technology, unless we can increase the efficiency of our engines by another 1000%, we cannot escape the pull of gravity."

"The most amazing thing is that if we are caught by this gravity, according to the reading of this gravity, our spaceship will be torn apart by this strong gravity within half an hour of entering the storm, and the entire spaceship will be destroyed in the end."

"But according to our actual tests, the drones we deployed were not destroyed. They were only damaged by the strong electromagnetic pulse phenomenon, which destroyed their internal circuitry, but the outer shell and internal structure were not damaged at all."

"Therefore, we infer that after being captured by gravity, we will most likely gradually move closer to the center of the storm, that is, to that unknown planet in the center of the storm."

"And once we get inside, it means we'll have no other way to get out of the eye of the storm, and we'll be trapped there forever."

"Therefore, we now face two choices."

"First, as His Majesty requires, we should rush straight in, into the eye of the storm, and then never be able to get out again. Second, we should take a detour, bypass the storm, and head directly to the second target location, the location of the planetary rift."

"Now, make your decision."

"I have a question."

At this moment, Hei hope, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Let's not talk about whether we can reach the eye of the storm or escape it. Our ships can protect us from the pulsars within the storm, and most importantly, whether we can survive."
