Chapter 362: Drone Upgrade, Space Warp

Tang Rui listened to their discussion without speaking.

Quite interesting.

The statement couldn’t be dismissed as nonsensical, given that differences in spacetime curvature and the speed of time flow are certain.

However, to claim that human civilization’s technological level could rank among the forefront in the entire universe was still a bit far-fetched.

The universe is too vast.

Humanity’s current understanding of the universe is still too one-sided.

These deductions are based on the information currently known to humans, making their credibility too low.

Anyway, Tang Rui didn’t believe in this statement.

“Academician Tang, do you have any thoughts?” After everyone else had spoken, a high-ranking official from the national academy asked Tang Rui for his opinion.

“I do have some thoughts, actually. I’m very curious about one thing, why would these aliens fly towards the outer arm?”

Tang Rui voiced his thoughts.

“Is there a problem with the outer arm as their destination?”

The national academy’s official asked curiously, not quite understanding Tang Rui’s point.

“Let’s say, a ship sailing from our East Sea to the Antarctic, powered by human strength, relying on people to row, and it doesn’t follow the coastline but wants to cross the Pacific directly. Do you think this scenario is normal?” Hearing Tang Rui’s words, the official seemed to understand.

If you put it that way, there does seem to be something odd about this spaceship. So, what should we do?”

“Do nothing. This spaceship is several light-years away from the Solar System and is not passing through it. Why should we bother with it?”

Tang Rui spread his hands, indicating this was an unnecessary concern. Humanity hasn’t even fully understood the Solar System yet, let alone manage affairs of the universe, which was thinking too much.

“Okay, thank you all for the information. This meeting is now adjourned.” The meeting ended.

Tang Rui turned off the holographic projection screen and headed to the hangar.

The vast hangar housed many aircraft.

Besides his frequently used private plane, he hadn’t piloted the rest in quite some time.

He walked to the very back of the hangar.

His earliest-made drone was parked there, having not taken off for almost a year and a half.

“Old buddy, it’s time for you to take the stage again.”

Tang Rui muttered to the drone.

He opened the system panel.

The drone’s experience points had already overflowed.

However, he hadn’t strengthened the drone, so it couldn’t upgrade, and its level remained stagnant.

No need for further discussion, he proceeded with the enhancement and upgrade.

This time, he wasn’t just enhancing once but frantically clicking enhance until he ran out of source points.

Surveillance Drone – Suborbital Reconnaissance Shuttle -+ Small Reconnaissance Ship -> Hyperspace Reconnaissance Ship.

It jumped four levels.

If counting from the initial model aircraft, it had enhanced seven levels in total.

After the enhancement, Tang Rui clicked upgrade.

As he did so,

The drone’s entire body turned into a virtual model, data-like, and with his enhancements and upgrades, it continuously changed its shape.

Finally,

In a burst of rainbow light,

The drone’s enhancement and upgrade were completed.

The enhanced drone had completely changed its appearance.

It was no longer shaped like a plane.

Instead, it resembled a sort of diamond-shaped arrowhead, but without any

sharp edges, all curves forming a special shape.

It’s hard to describe with words.

This design looked inexplicably beautiful.

Besides the change in appearance, its overall size increased manifold.

Although it remained a reconnaissance ship, even a small ship is still a ship, so

its length went from about ten meters to 129 meters.

Fortunately, the hangar was large enough; otherwise, it wouldn’t have fit.

After examining the reconnaissance ship’s appearance, Tang Rui looked at the system panel.

[Nightflow: Immune to optical class reconnaissance detection equipment, significantly reduces the accuracy of space detection class scans]

[Source Points: 5294.26]

Tang Rui was astounded by the series of data on the system panel, not expecting an additional ‘series’ attribute column to appear.

He couldn’t clearly explain how this series came about since he had been upgrading and enhancing without pause, leaving him unsure of the cause.

But this wasn’t important.

He planned to pay more attention during the next upgrade and enhancement, though it didn’t seem to affect much.

The addition of the series functionality significantly improved the entire reconnaissance ship’s performance, especially its ability to be immune to optical detection, making it virtually undetectable by devices scanning through the physical properties of light. This capability was particularly alarming. Red Lotus, store all the data of the reconnaissance ship in the top-secret database, not to be accessed without my command,” Tang Rui instructed.

Understood, Master,” Red Lotus acknowledged.

The reconnaissance ship was laden with advanced technology, but Tang Rui didn’t have the time to delve into it. His current focus was on understanding the situation with the newly discovered alien spaceship.

“Red Lotus, take the reconnaissance ship into space and stand by,” Tang Rui commanded.

“Okay, Master.”

As Tang Rui watched the reconnaissance ship slowly start up, he turned back to the command hall. By the time he sat down, the ship was already waiting in outer space for his commands.

“Synchronize the spaceship control interface.”

“Right away, Master.”

With a flicker, Tang Rui’s surroundings changed, transforming into the bridge

of a spaceship, with the view of outer space before him. Projection screens appeared around him, and he began to inspect the spaceship’s various data through the touchscreens and system menus.

“Don’t ask how I know to pilot a spaceship. If you must know, I learned it in a dream,” he would say jokingly.

“Red Lotus, based on the space telescope’s photo data, calculate the current spacetime coordinates of the alien spaceship.”

“Done, Master,” Red Lotus completed the task.

Tang Rui entered the calculated spacetime coordinates into the jump detection system for verification before the spatial jump.

As the jump engine vibrated, the spacetime coordinates were verified.

“Activate the hyperspace jump engine, head to the coordinates in the cosmic void, and commence the jump!”
