Voyage of the Stars

There is no benefit in seeking skin from a tiger!

How can there be any reason to take chestnuts from the fire without burning them?

The 'silver mist' is not only the original one, humans were confused by the quiet silver mist.

Yue Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes quickly returned to a calm look, and then turned his head to look at the big screen in the bridge.

The big screen is still on, and the image signal sent back by the ground transportation robot can still be seen, indicating that the signal has not been interrupted.

In other words, none of the hydrogen bombs on the nine ships were activated.

And the picture you see now is actually the picture from seventeen minutes ago. In fact, what is happening now cannot be seen by humans.

This situation, in other words, is that humans and Hope are outside the light cone of the Ross 154-4 planetary event at this moment.

It will take another seventeen minutes for the event light cone to extend to the space-time coordinates of the Hope, and humans will be able to enter the event light cone and see what is happening at this moment.

In other words, humans can't do anything now except watch, and if they do, it can only affect Rose's 154-4 seventeen minutes later.

Based on the information they had when they first came into contact with the 'Silver Mist', humans designed a targeted signal interruption triggering method. However, they never expected that this time the 'Silver Mist' did not block the information at all.

As a result, this triggering method loses its effect.

However, until now, human scientists and everyone who was directly involved in the decision-making or opinions on this matter still have a doubt, that is, what is the purpose of the 'Silver Mist'?

Regarding human beings’ doubts, ‘Silver Mist’ quickly answered them with actions.

The 'Silver Mist' that rushed out of the hole entered the sight of the human transport ship, and multiple sets of corresponding pictures were displayed on the big screen.

After arriving on the surface, this batch of 'silver mist' was dyed red by the light of the red dwarf star.

In the bridge of the Hope, Yue Yuan and the others just watched helplessly as this group of 'silver mist' rolled towards the transport ship, and then easily cracked the transport ship's hatch program, and then swarmed in.

Silver Mist completely ignored the gas filled by the humans in the transport ship for the Moks. The moment the hatch was opened, the gas inside began to overflow crazily. This impact of atmospheric pressure did not affect the influx of 'Silver Mist' at all.

So far, none of the hydrogen bombs installed by humans on transport ships have exploded, and the mechanical trigger device used as a secondary safety has not shown any signs of activation.

Just like it did with the ground transport robot, this time Silver Mist did not use mining mode to dismantle the transport ship and eight transport boats.

With the loss of the footage taken by the transport ship, humans understood the purpose of the 'Silver Mist'.

That is to take over control of the transport ship.

But why?

If this is the case, why did the Silver Mist not have any difficulty when humans landed for the first time, but instead disintegrated the landing craft.

Could it be that this batch of ‘Silver Mist’ is not controlled by the same consciousness as the last batch?

In the midst of human confusion, one transport ship lost control. The images they captured on the bridge of the Hope also turned black.

Although we still don’t know why, the facts tell mankind that this is the purpose of the ‘Silver Mist’, or the purpose of the nanorobot consciousness.

The transport ship lost control, but the satellite in the Ross 154-4 orbit was still under human control, so humans could still see the satellite images.

In the bridge of the Hope, everyone turned their attention to the satellite images.

So they all saw such a scene.

The 'silver mist' that had been quiet for more than ten years also began to squirm again. They rose from the ground like locusts and floated towards the transport ship.

At the same time, streaks of red light also appeared in caves across the planet, and countless groups of nano-robots soared up from the caves, covering the sky.

At this time, the surface of the entire planet looked like a large sphere filled with smoke and with numerous holes poked into it. Countless smoke and dust spewed out, like steam jets, gathering into pieces of red clouds in the middle of the planet.

Then the nanorobots that covered the sky and the sun surged in mid-air, turned into long strips of clouds, elongated their figures, and all converged towards the landing position of the transport ship.

From the perspective of images captured by satellites, it looks like the weather when typhoons and hurricanes appear on Earth.

This scene is truly majestic.

Looking at the swarm of nano-robots that could easily turn a dead planet into a storm-like appearance, everyone realized that it turned out that the previous swarm of nano-robots was not the entire swarm of nano-robots, but only a part of it, a small part.

This is the real group of nano-robots, the real silver mist!

It turns out that we were on the phone with such a terrifying thing before!

However, is the consciousness formed by artificial intelligence really that smart?

Looking at this image that had become a fact more than ten minutes ago, everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

The universe is so scary.

"Let's set sail! We can't stay in this star system." Yue Yuan sat back in his seat and said in a calm tone.

Such a calm tone instantly woke up the sluggish people on the bridge. Their eyes regained clarity one by one, and then they devoted themselves to their own work.

"Let's set sail now? Yue Shuai, what about the bases, factories, space dock frames and various types of laboratories on the Ross 154-7?" the bridge science officer asked.

"No, we don't have much time to delay." Yue Yuan shook his head, hesitation would lead to defeat.

By now, he has clearly understood that since the hydrogen bomb deployed on the transport ship cannot even detonate, the hydrogen bomb array deployed on the Ross 154-4 orbit cannot stop the nanorobot consciousness.

Indeed, the detonation command has been sent out, but it will still be more than ten minutes before the detonation occurs.

During this period of time, the nanorobot consciousness should have enough time to fly out of Ross 154-4 on the transport ship. If the hydrogen bomb array is detonated before the nanorobot flies into orbit on the transport ship, then the scam of the nanorobot consciousness will really be successful.

Because all the information now points to the fact that what binds the 'Silver Mist' is the gravity of Ross 154-4. As long as they reach the planet's orbit, they will be freed.

From the fact that the Silver Mist can fly in a planet without an atmosphere, humans can easily deduce the reason why it can fly, and that is the magnetic field.

However, the magnetic field of this planet is relatively weak, so that when the silver mist is flying on the planet, part of it must be supported on the ground. This may be the reason why it cannot escape the gravity of the Ross 154-4 planet.

The explosion of hydrogen bombs in orbit obviously cannot destroy ground transport ships. Human beings know this. After all, that transport ship and eight transport boats were built by humans. Human beings know best what their performance is.

Now, humanity's only chance of winning is probably that Silver Mist arrives in the planet's orbit on a transport ship, and then the hydrogen bomb array detonates.

This can indeed blow up the transport ship, but the 'Silver Mist' itself is hard to say.

Therefore, if the hydrogen bomb array successfully detonates, it will delay the pace of the 'Silver Mist', whether it is before or after the Silver Mist flies into orbit.

Of course, what Yue Yuan hopes to see is that after the 'Silver Mist' flies into orbit, the hydrogen bomb array will just detonate, although this wish seems a bit extravagant from the current satellite images.

After all, the hydrogen bomb array was not prepared for the 'Silver Mist' in the first place, but was prepared for the non-existent 'Mokxian Mine Patroller' out of fear of an accident in the rescue, including the hydrogen bombs on the transport ship.

But unexpectedly, the mining area patrolman was gone, and instead came the 'Silver Mist'.
