Chapter 1500 Main Control Room (1/2)
Luckily, the beetle had a galactic map of its own. It was better than the ones the Alliance had, and with it, Ji Yanran was able to determine their location. They were in the Barrens, a place the Alliance had name Plato.
It wasn't a long journey to return to the bubble of space humans occupied, and with the speed of the beetle, they estimated that the journey would only take half a day.
Han Sen relaxed. He looked at Ji Yanran as she drove the beetle and asked her, ”What is the New Community? Have you heard about them before?”
Ji Yanran shook her head. ”No. But if they managed to summon five human demi-gods, they couldn't be just some faceless, nameless organization. Father must know something about them. We should ask him.”
The black beetle flew through the Barrens with ease. It was a place not occupied by humans, and they saw nothing as they went.
Han Sen put the beetle on autopilot, and it gave him, Ji Yanran, Bao'er, and Littleflower the opportunity to play together. Their trip was not boring.
The beetle had been flying for about an hour, and as Han Sen was playing with Littleflower, he suddenly heard a message coming from the AI.
”Main Control Room discovered. Should we land?”
”What Main Control Room?” Han Sen looked at the black beetle's display with shock. To the left of the beetle was a large planet, one that looked to have been created from diamond. The planet was moving fast, faster than the Alliance's greatest ships.
”Is that a crystallizer planet?” Han Sen was shocked. He looked at the map, but the charts gave no indication of a diamond planet residing where they currently were.
That meant the planet did not belong there, and yet for some reason, there it was.
”That looks like it.” Ji Yanran was the captain of a crystallizer research team, so she knew quite a lot about this stuff.
”Should we land?” The black beetle's AI repeated the message.
”Is it dangerous?” Han Sen asked.
”The Main Control Room is devoid of lifeforms. The risk is minimal,” the beetle answered.
Ji Yanran and Han Sen had a discussion about this, as the discovery of new crystallizer relics was a rare opportunity. Since there wasn't supposed to be any risk, though, they decided they should go just in case they could discover new technology.
And since the diamond planet was moving so fast, this could be their only chance to explore this place.
Han Sen commanded the beetle to land. It didn't do it immediately, and it seemed to fire a signal at the planet first. Only after the signal was sent did they begin approaching.
”A connection to the Main Control Room has been established. We will begin docking procedures now.”
The beetle flew down towards the planet. The planet opened up as they approached, as if it were one large docking station itself, and the beetle itself went straight inside.
”Is this really not dangerous?” Han Sen asked.
The beetle answered, ”The Main Control Room is running automatically. There are no lifeforces there; provided no rules are violated, the risk is and will remain minimal for you.”
