Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

Soon, the exploration robots extracted material from the metal walls and analyzed it on-site.

[Captain, the age of these building materials has been determined. They are approximately 5 million years old.]

"Which means the intelligent civilization on this planet went extinct 5 million years ago, right?"

[Roughly around that time.]

"It seems we're too late. They've been extinct for 5 million years. But to maintain such well-preserved ruins, aside from the planet's stable geological features preventing these remains from being buried, the building materials must be extraordinary. Have you determined their civilization level before extinction?"

[Captain, based on my calculations, this civilization was approximately at a late Stage 3 level.]

"Late Stage 3, theoretically not too backward. Modifying the planet's environment should be entirely possible. So how did they go extinct? And why can't we see any animals?"

Chen Yu held Solala's hand, not wanting to stay on the planet's surface any longer.

"Let's go back. I have a feeling that this place is very strange!"

Solala, also feeling nervous, nodded repeatedly.

After the two returned to the spaceship, they directly entered the decontamination chamber for a full-body disinfection.

Then, Chen Yu went to the *Millennium Falcon*'s medical experiment bay.

The AI had already collected surface samples from the planet and dispatched a ship to extract seawater samples from a nearby coast.

Inside the glass isolation chamber, the AI controlled robotic arms, performing microscopic analysis on the samples.

Although Chen Yu felt that he was already an intermediate interstellar life form and should be immune to many viruses from space planets,

this planet was too strange, to the point that no animals had evolved for tens of millions of years. If there was a virus, it must be extremely powerful.

Chen Yu stared intently at the robotic arm's operations behind the glass.

Suddenly, the robotic arm stopped.

The AI's voice echoed in the chamber.

[Captain, I have completed a detailed analysis of these samples.]

"Any discoveries?"

[Yes, a bad one!]

Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. Could he really have guessed correctly?

"Tell me, is it what I think it is?"

[Captain, it's too early to say, but I have detected unusual microscopic organisms. However, I need confirmation from your bodies!]

"What do you mean?"

[I just used human serum to conduct a fusion experiment with these microscopic organisms, and I discovered an extraordinary phenomenon!]

"What phenomenon? What confirmation do you need from us? Could it be that we have that thing in our bodies too?!"

Chen Yu's words made his wives tremble behind him.

The Earth's virus crisis had only passed a few decades ago, and now there was something even more sinister?
