Chapter 343: The Singular Wave
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the dreamy blue nebula, a dark blue streak appeared in front of them. No one knew what it was. Old Jalopy’s face suddenly paled. ”Heavens! The Singular Wave!”
The blue streak grew thicker very quickly.
Everyone was shocked!
As the blue streak grew thicker, the blue nebula around the starship seemed to vibrate. Even the ship was shaking a little. Everyone onboard was keen enough to notice this. The wave appeared like a disaster on a galactic scale. Whatever hopes they had were crushed by the sight of it.
The nebula vibrated even more violently. It was suffocating to watch the endless calamitous stretch that was about to befall them. What a tempestuous blue wave! It reached up for hundreds and thousands of kilometers, and was as wide as the eyes could see.
Everyone on the ship was devastated.
Only four of them managed to keep their calm - Ye Chong, Rui Bing, the young boy and Scarface, the bodyguard. In fact, Ye Chong was nervous as well, his body tensed all over, but he knew that if he did not stay calm now, there would be no chance of surviving this threat.
This gigantic natural disaster must be avoided at all costs!
The young boy’s eyes glowed up, reminding Ye Chong of Mu and Shang’s bionic eyes. ”Why am I thinking about that now?” Ye Chong smiled wryly to himself, and felt a little tension released from him.
”How long do we have?” The young boy asked in a peculiar and mature voice.
No one answered. They were too shocked. Ye Chong stared at the image from the optical systems and did some quick calculations in his head.
Perhaps the danger had stimulated Ye Chong, for he felt his mind particularly clear right then as he did the calculations quickly. ”15 minutes!” It was the young boy who came up with the answer first, however. After 5 seconds, Ye Chong arrived at the same conclusion. He looked to the young boy in surprise.
What impressive calculation speed!
The young boy abruptly stood up and rushed to the main photon processor. ”Out of the way!” His youthful voice was full of authority.
The bodyguard beside the main photon processor was shook out of his shock, and quickly stood aside.
The young boy was too short, and he had to climb onto a chair and stand on it to reach the photon processor. His small hands pressed the controls on the photon processor awkwardly. Seeing his unfamiliar handling, Ye Chong frowned and went to the photon processor. He pushed the young boy’s chair to the side and said hurriedly, ”Tell me what to do.”
The young boy stared for a moment before laughing and said, ”Big guy, you’re the best.” He then turned serious and gave his first order, ”Activate the weapons.”
Ye Chong’s hands moved cross the photon processor console smoothly, a sharp contrast to the young boy’s awkward controlling. The young boy was unaffected by the thought, however. He looked perfectly calm, and even Rui Bing could sense an odd feeling of maturity in him.
”Show the weapons directory.”
”Activate the energy delivery photon circuits.”
”Activate the manual restoration system.”
”Connect the photon circuits …” A long list of numbers and names of parts came of the young boy’s mouth, faster than anyone could process.
But Ye Chong heard them clearly! ”What a bold plan,” he thought to himself as he quickly did as told. He understood the young boy’s intention well enough. The boy wanted to wanted to redirect the energy on the ship to quickly improve the firepower of the ship.
Ye Chong was surprised that the young boy was so familiar with the starship’s photon circuit system. This was not something anyone would know. The starship industry was well established, and would not tolerate modifications easily, much less what they were doing now!
The thought was set aside quickly as Ye Chong focused on his work. A series of technical terms and jargons came from the young boy, and Ye Chong had to focus all his attention in order to keep up with the young boy.
It was a strange sight to behold - a young boy standing on a chair, staring at the photon processor with a grim expression, giving out orders non-stop; a young man was beside him, sweating all over as he manipulated the controls on the console at breakneck speed.
