Technological supremacy starts with acquiring alien spaceships

The AI began broadcasting information about Venus.

[Venus is the closest planet to Earth, with a size and density very similar to Earth. The average surface temperature is 465 degrees Celsius, and it has a thick atmosphere...]

"Hey, AI, do you think there was ever life on Venus? I read that Venus was once in the habitable zone for hundreds of millions of years, just like Earth!"

[Once we reach Venus and land, we can collect some soil for analysis. Then we can determine whether it once harbored life.]

"Good point. How long will it take us to fly to Venus?"

[Venus is close; it should take about five hours.]

"Okay!"

Chen Yu lay on the chair that could freely change shape, while a small clip massaged his shoulders from behind.

Five hours later, the No. 1 spaceship arrived in Venus's orbit.

Chen Yu could already see a yellowish-brown, giant planet that looked like it was rusting.

Looking at it up close, he even felt a sense of decay, desolation, bleakness, and loneliness.

Fortunately, Chen Yu didn't have megalophobia or a fear of loneliness; his mental state was still relatively healthy.

Otherwise, seeing such a despairing planet in the vast expanse of space...

The key was that this planet also emitted a strange sense of decay. Staying here for too long could even lead to mental breakdown.

Chen Yu looked at this planet, utterly shocked.

"AI, the surface temperature of this planet is over 400 degrees. Can our spaceship even land?"

[Captain, you underestimate our technological civilization. This temperature is nothing.]

The view outside the glass reappeared, and Chen Yu could already see the ground of Venus.

It was a vast, desolate land, filled with a rust-colored haze.

[Performing precise analysis of Venus's atmospheric composition.]

[Carbon dioxide content exceeds 95%. The planet's greenhouse effect is severe, with a maximum temperature exceeding 500 degrees Celsius, making it difficult for carbon-based life to survive.]

[Detecting whether silicon-based life, boron-based life, or sulfur-based life exists. Examination complete. None found.]

Chen Yu was surprised!

"AI! Does that mean there really are silicon-based life forms or boron-based life forms in the universe?"

[Of course. The universe is so vast, beyond your imagination. Not only does it have these common life forms, but it also has consciousness-based life forms that you can hardly comprehend.]

Chen Yu was dumbfounded. This really opened his eyes!

He secretly resolved that in the future, if he had the chance, he would definitely go to the vast and boundless depths of the universe to see.

Rumble!

The No. 1 spaceship landed on the surface of Venus, stirring up huge golden dust clouds.

[Captain, would you like to step out of the spaceship and personally set foot on the surface of Venus?]

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows.

"What? Can I? The surface temperature is over 400 degrees! Wouldn't I be roasted alive if I got out of the spaceship?!"

[I have already created a suitable spacesuit for you. It can withstand external temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. Once you put it on, you can move freely on the surface of Venus.]

"Then what are we waiting for? I want to be the first Earthling to set foot on Venus!"

Chen Yu couldn't wait to put on the spacesuit that the AI had prepared for him.

This spacesuit was very thin and, surprisingly, quite a good fit. It was far more advanced than the bulky spacesuits of Earthlings.

Putting on the special helmet, Chen Yu felt very relaxed all over. Alien technology was indeed different.

Chen Yu came to the airlock, and the door slowly opened. He stepped out.

The moment his foot touched the ground of Venus, Chen Yu felt extremely excited.

This was one small step for him, but one giant leap for mankind!

He, Chen Yu! Had become the first Earthling to personally set foot on Venus!

"AI, quickly take a picture of me!"

[Captain, I have recorded your every move!]

"Hahaha, I'm going to be the first to land on Venus, Mercury, Mars... In short, I'm going to land on all eight planets of the solar system! Hahaha!"

Chen Yu was so excited that he was incoherent.

[Captain, you can dig up some soil from Venus and put it on the detection device on your arm. I can analyze this planet to see if life ever existed here.]

"Okay."

Chen Yu jumped around on the surface of Venus, found a place where the soil color looked normal.

He used a small shovel to scoop up a small piece and then put it on the arm detection device.

[Performing component analysis, life sign analysis...]

[Analysis successful. Traces of past life activity were found in the soil. The life form was carbon-based life, the same as on Earth. According to isotope analysis, the traces of life originated 2 billion years ago.]

Chen Yu was amazed. So Venus really had harbored life in the past.

It was even there 3 billion years ago, which basically coincided with research on Earth.

Scientists predicted that about 3 billion years ago, Venus had liquid water.

Sure enough, water was the source of life. But unfortunately, Venus gradually fell out of the habitable zone, and life became extinct.

It was unknown whether Venus at that time had a thriving technological civilization like Earth.

[Captain, I suggest placing one of our probes on Venus. It can explore the planet's mineral resources, and perhaps find elements to repair the spaceship's warp engine material.]

"Okay!"

Chen Yu forcefully planted the prepared Yanxia national flag on the ground!

"Yes, not bad. From now on, Venus is an inseparable territory of my Yanxia! Hahaha!"

Chen Yu muttered to himself after planting the national flag.

Chen Yu boarded the No. 1 spaceship, preparing to return.

[Captain, I have something to report to you. It may be related to the safety of all humanity on Earth.]

Chen Yu was surprised!

"AI, what's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?"

[When I was checking the Venusian atmosphere's ability to block cosmic rays, I accidentally detected solar flare activity.]

Of course, Chen Yu knew about solar flares. Wasn't that normal solar activity?

"What about the solar flares?"

[Therefore, I hacked into the astronomical research data of various countries on Earth. The solar flare that erupted just now was the largest in terms of energy level that humans have ever recorded. Moreover, according to the data comparison of recent years, the sun's activity is rapidly becoming more intense.]

Chen Yu wasn't a complete newbie either.

He had learned a lot of astronomical knowledge by relying on the brainpower that the AI had given him.

When he heard the AI say that the sun was becoming more intense, he already felt a sense of crisis.

"AI, tell me your judgment!"

[Captain, according to these data, if the sun continues to be restless, in the next 30 years, 90% of Earth's life may become extinct, including large organisms like humans.]

Chen Yu's expression turned solemn.

He had just acquired an alien spaceship, and now he was being told that Earth's life was about to become extinct.

Although Chen Yu was confident that he could use the No. 1 spaceship to immigrate to any planet...

But Earth was his home, how could he watch humanity perish!

"AI, is there any way to save humanity?"
