The Eternals Who Travel the Worlds

Chapter 1208 Track

When talking about the astronomer who was so scared that he peed his pants, Vader was a little excited, making it difficult to judge his true inner thoughts.

Of course, Lu Yan didn't actually care what Wade was thinking. He asked in a timely manner: "So what did the astronomer see?"

"Mr. Lu, I swear, you won't believe it."

Having said this, Wade grinned and ordered to the foreign man: "Vadim, take Mr. Lu to see Dr. Ringer first. I will be there in a moment. By the way, Dr. Ringer is the astronomy expert."

Home."

Wade said the last sentence to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more. He followed Morse and left to find the astronomer named Ringer.

The young woman originally planned to follow, but when Wade saw this, he said: "Cheng, please wait a moment."

Cheng Xin glanced at Lu Yan nonchalantly, then nodded and stopped.

To be honest, she had no favorable impression of Wade, the director of PIA. To be precise, she was not even willing to get along with him.

After all, Cheng Xin was not from an intelligence agency, she was a standard scientific researcher.

If there was no such thing as alien civilization, there would be no intersection between her and guys like Vader. They could be said to be people from two different worlds.

After watching Lu Yan leave, the smile on Wade's face disappeared instantly. The expressionless look on his face felt like a sculpture moved from a museum, without any trace of a human being.

"Tell me, what's going on with Lu Yan?"

Wade looked at Cheng Xin, his gaze seemed dull, but it revealed an unsettling sharpness.

Cheng Xin hesitated and said, "I don't think it's good either. When we first met, Mr. Lu did look at me twice..."

When she said this, Cheng Xin paused for a moment. She didn't know how to describe the look in her eyes.

"Isn't that how a man feels when he looks at a woman?"

Wade lit a cigar. He saw the change in Cheng Xin's expression and knew he had guessed correctly: "Curious or surprised?"

"It doesn't look alike."

Cheng Xin's external conditions are actually quite good. She has had no shortage of men who have coveted her since she was a child. Her sensitivity in this regard is not low: "It's more like...a sudden realization?"

This uncertain answer made Vader look a little surprised.

"Furthermore, Mr. Lu didn't take the initiative to talk to me during those hours on the plane. I tried to stir up a topic, but Mr. Lu obviously had no interest in talking."

Cheng Xin said truthfully.

"I understand, either Mr. Lu is not a womanizer, or you don't conform to Shi Qiang's civilized aesthetics..."

The corners of Vader's mouth curled up like cracked ice, and he couldn't feel much of a smile: "...or, this Shi Qiang civilization doesn't exist at all."

Cheng Xin pursed her lips and bravely retorted: "Director, this guess is too arbitrary. Not everyone who sees me will definitely treat me..."

Cheng Xin didn't say the rest of the words, but she knew that Wade would definitely understand.

Wade's eyes flashed with danger, and he did not comment on Cheng Xin's rebuttal.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, he is more likely to trust his intuition.

"Let's go, Mr. Lu came all the way here, don't keep us waiting."

…

In a data room in the PIA building.

Various documents were scattered randomly on the ground, as if a child ran in and rummaged around.

But the fact is that children cannot enter this place at all.

Under the leadership of Vadim, Lu Yan walked into the data room. The next second, his attention shifted to a man in a white coat.

This is Dr. Ringer, who is almost as powerful as the Beidou in astronomy, otherwise he would not be qualified to use that high-precision space telescope.

But now, this top astronomer is sitting on a stool in a daze, with some tears visible from the corners of his eyes.

It seems that although Wade's statement that Dr. Ringer was so scared that he wet his pants was an exaggeration, what he saw definitely didn't shock him that much.

Seeing this scene, Vadim didn't look surprised. He walked over and patted the other party's shoulder, and said softly: "Dr. Ringer, this is Mr. Lu."

Dr. Ringer raised his head in a daze.

After seeing Lu Yan, he grabbed Lu Yan's wrist as if a drowning man had finally found a life-saving straw.

He said eagerly with a slight slurred speech.

"Lu... Mr. Lu, you said at that time that... high-level civilizations in the universe can be traced and searched through observation. Is it true?"

Hearing this, Lu Yan was stunned for a moment.

"You mean, you observed a new civilization?"

Frankly speaking, this possibility is not high.

Not to mention how difficult this kind of tracing is, just relying on a space telescope to see alien civilization is almost impossible in itself.

It is true that the Trisolaran civilization has provided help for the high-precision space telescope currently assembled.

But many things cannot be restored quickly just by knowing the theory.

Just like the manufacturing methods and principles of nuclear bombs, you can even find them directly on Baidu, but can an ordinary person really make a nuclear bomb by relying on these theories?

The answer is obviously no.

The same is true now.

If we rely solely on the current technological level of human civilization to observe the Trisolaran world four light-years away, the result we will get is just three blurry haloes in a dark background.

Even with the help of the Trisolaran civilization, after improvement and optimization, observing the Trisolaran planet can only see a point without any details.

This is still only a distance of four light years, let alone those more distant places.

"I'm not sure either...but Tomoko thinks it's a kind of track."

Lu Yan also saw at this moment that Dr. Ringer was actually scaring himself. He was worried that he would bring a more serious crisis to human civilization.

When Lu Yan was about to ask further questions, familiar subtitles suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Dear Mr. Lu, our preliminary judgment is that it is a vehicle that has reached the speed of light and should come from a civilization that is more advanced than ours.]

The Trisolarans' current interstellar fleet has a maximum speed of only one-tenth of the speed of light, and it won't be able to do it for long.

This is a very reasonable inference.

Lu Yan was not surprised by the appearance of Zhizi.

After all, there is only one sophon left. After human civilization reached a consensus, this sophon has always stayed near the PDCC headquarters.

Lu Yan thought about it for a moment and said, "In which direction is the observed track?"
