Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

The lead scientist exclaimed excitedly:

"Of course, Mr. Trump, the spaceship is operating perfectly and is ready for takeoff at any time!"

"Good, let's prepare and then head to the edge of the solar system. This is going to be a long journey. Our spaceship doesn't have a warp drive, so we can only rely on conventional flight. According to the location given by the Level 4 civilization's AI, our spaceship will have to fly for more than three years. It really is a long time. I hope this Level 4 civilization's AI isn't deceiving us."

"Mr. Trump, does what the AI said about those things really existing at the edge of the solar system?"

Trump frowned.

"Hmph, how would I know? We'll just go and take a look."

And so, a few days later, one night in a primitive forest in South America.

A huge pit in the ground suddenly opened up, revealing a launchpad.

It was covered with trees, and when closed, you wouldn't be able to tell that there was something hidden underneath.

After the pit opened, a pitch-black spaceship slowly ascended, escaping the Earth's gravity at maximum speed.

It hurtled towards space. Trump was sitting in the spaceship's command center, surrounded by several scientists.

Fortunately, the spaceship Trump built this time was also a product of a Level 4 civilization, and its speed was not slower than Universal Technology's attack ships.

Even if they were discovered, as long as they kept flying into deep space, the other party would never be able to catch up.

At this moment, inside Mothership 1, Chen Yu had just finished playing cards with Su Rou.

He received a notification from the AI in his mind.

'Captain, just now, the Earth quantum communicator sent the latest news. Near South America on Earth, a spaceship comparable to a Level 4 civilization suddenly flew out and headed straight for deep space. Our attack ships failed to shoot it down and have already returned.'

Chen Yu frowned in thought.

'A Level 4 civilization spaceship? Who else besides us on Earth has one?'

[Captain, according to the scan of that spaceship, the material used for the spaceship's outer shell is a synthetic Earth metal, so it should be a spaceship built on Earth.]

Chen Yu suddenly thought of the behemoth-class nuclear submarine that had been causing trouble on Earth a few years ago, stealing a large amount of supplies at sea before disappearing.

Could it be them? The remnants of those Americans?

'AI, what do you think, is it possible that it was done by the remnants of that giant submarine, or the former American remnants?'

[There is a high probability that they did it. In recent years, according to the alien spaceship wreckage discovered in various parts of the Earth, there is more than one alien spaceship wreckage from a civilized planet on Earth. There may be several, and may even contain wreckage from higher civilizations. Isn't that how I came here!]

Chen Yu suddenly understood!

'Hmph, then they should have found a spaceship with repair value, and it's a Level 4 civilization spaceship, what do you think?'

[Very likely, and starting the spaceship requires a highly intelligent system. I'm sure they also found a fully preserved Level 4 civilization AI.]

'That's going to be fun, but I don't know where they want to go after leaving Earth. Earth doesn't have the raw materials to build a warp drive. At most, they can only do conventional flight. Even at a speed of several thousand kilometers per second, it would take many years to fly out of the solar system.'

[I don't know what they're going to do either, but our huge number of probes spread throughout the solar system will continuously measure their position. At that time, I will most likely be able to determine their trajectory. As long as we extend it, we may be able to find the place they are going to, or a planet in the solar system.]

'Okay, AI, pay attention at all times. Anyway, they're still in the solar system, let them play around. After we complete Earth's registration and collect all the raw materials to repair Mothership 1's warp drive, we'll come back and solve all the problems.'

[Okay, Captain.]

And so, Chen Yu didn't pay attention to this small incident that happened on Earth.

Chen Yu now felt that he was strong enough and didn't need to pay attention to these things.

He didn't believe that those American remnants could cause any waves in the solar system.

Time passed little by little. Chen Yu would go to the training room every day to absorb the bright energy in the universe.

He would also learn the scientific and technological knowledge of Level 4 civilizations from the AI to improve his brain domain.

Now his brain domain was about to break through 15%, already reaching 14.97%.

Chen Yu was very much looking forward to what the AI said, that once his brain domain exceeded 15%, he would be able to control the thoughts and behaviors of some creatures with weak consciousness.

Chen Yu was now studying hard, training, and absorbing bright energy every day, all for this breakthrough.

The brain domain was improving little by little, but his life form level.

Was still at the peak of Interstellar Stage 3, still one step away from Great Perfection, unable to make any progress.

More than eight months passed, and Chen Yu was still diligently absorbing cosmic bright energy in the training room.

The AI's voice sounded in his mind.

[Captain, the warp drive is about to shut down. We have arrived in the star system of the Level 4 civilization planet, Gelador.]
