My Empire of Stars

Chapter 42 Mysterious Button

13,000 kilometers from Jupiter, inside the Rescuer

Li Jialu closed the tablet and stared at Jupiter in the distance. In ten minutes, the spacecraft will reach the halo surrounding Jupiter.

Jupiter is magnificent in the sun, and countless ice slag, meteorites, and dust form this beautiful yellow halo.

"Reach the target orbit in five minutes." The system's synthesized voice came from the computer.

Li Jialu quickly pressed a few keys, and the image on the halo was captured by a lens with up to 1 billion pixels. As Li Jialu kept pressing, it slowly enlarged.

Nothing! The position where the wreckage of the alien spacecraft should have been was empty! Li Jialu's pupils shrank instantly.

Wait, what is that? Li Jialu's sharp eyes quickly found something unusual on the screen. She quickly enlarged the image and saw a piece of black wreckage with half of the Pan-Earth Alliance logo on it.

If she remembered correctly, this shape of wreckage must come from the kind of aerospace fighter carried on her spacecraft! The Alliance's spacecraft must have encountered some kind of attack here!

Hey, she soon discovered that there was a strange cross-shaped wreckage under this wreckage. She hurriedly woke up Allen, Danji, and Ivanov who were sleeping.

Soon Danji drove the aerospace fighter to salvage the cross-shaped wreckage that was as high as a person and returned it to the side of the Rescuer.

Allen was responsible for staying behind, Li Jialu and Ivanov flew towards the wreckage, and the light on the space suit shone on the wreckage, reflecting a silver-white light.

"This wreckage doesn't look like a man-made object. Look at this material. It's like jade and metal." Li Jialu said to Ivanov.

"Let me see what material it is." Ivanov aimed the laser cutter in his hand at the outer shell of the wreckage and pressed the switch. After a few seconds, the place illuminated by the cutting laser did not change at all, and it was still as smooth as jade.

Ivanov did not believe in evil and adjusted the cutting laser to the maximum power and aimed it at the outer shell of the wreckage again. After dozens of seconds, the laser cutter emitted a red flash of power failure.

When the cutter was removed, they found that there was no damage on the original shell. The two were dumbfounded. This temperature did not cut it open. What kind of power could destroy it like this? This must be beyond the reach of conventional weapons on Earth.

The two and Danji, who had parked the fighter plane and rushed over, pushed it into the cargo hold of the spacecraft. With the help of the bright light in the cabin, the three found that there were several unknown interfaces and a red switch on the wreckage.

The red switch was covered by a glass-like cover with an ambiguous symbol printed on it.

"I guess it must say no touching." Li Jialu said to the two with a smile.

"I think so too, but there is only one red switch in the whole white wreckage, which makes people always want to press it inexplicably!" Ivanov scratched his head and was entangled.

According to a small experiment, a person is placed in a room with a small button written on it that says never press. Even if the person inside knows that pressing it may destroy the world, before the answer is determined, strong curiosity will definitely drive him to press the button.

Now the three of them are facing such a situation. There is only a small button in the entire wreckage that can be used.

"Why don't we try to press it? This thing doesn't look like a weapon. Moreover, it has fallen from the spacecraft and has been severely damaged. There should be no problem." Danji, who is afraid of chaos in the world, suggested.

"Okay." Li Jialu said and stretched out her hand.

"Don't really press it!" The two exclaimed after seeing Li Jialu's action.

But Danji and Ivanov obviously underestimated Li Jialu's persistence. In the blink of an eye, Li Jialu had lifted the "glass cover" on the button.

"No!!!!" The two wanted to stop it but it was too late. Li Jialu had already pressed the button hard.

Quiet! Unexpectedly quiet! Nothing happened! The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was just joking, but you really pressed it." Danji's face was full of fear.

"Didn't nothing happen? So that everyone wouldn't be entangled there." Li Jialu shrugged as if nothing had happened, turned around and floated out of the warehouse. Danji and Ivanov looked at each other and floated away.

Inside the wreckage that no one could see, a small amount of energy crystals slowly disappeared, and a red light flashed on the outer shell of the wreckage, but the three people who had left the cargo hold did not notice it.

The few people who had just sat down found that the outer shell of their spaceship began to flash an inexplicable blue light!

"What happened!!" Li Jialu and others were panicked.

"The energy detector shows that there is a lot of dissipated energy outside our spaceship!" Allen shouted anxiously.

A few seconds later, the Rescuer disappeared from Jupiter's orbit in a blue flash.

"Thank you, Li Jialu, we will never see the earth again." Ivanov looked at the endless purple world outside the window in despair and muttered to himself.

"How could I know that this thing was actually some kind of super-light speed engine, but after my deduction, we are probably no longer in the original time and space." Li Jialu was also a little annoyed.

"We know without you saying it, the original time and space is not this endless purple!!!" Ivanov's tone was a little heavy.

Li Jialu felt guilty and could only comfort everyone: "Entering this hyperspace should consume energy. It is estimated that we can leave here in one or two days at most, maybe one or two hours... probably. Maybe" She didn't believe it herself at the end.

"Let's hope!" The others closed their eyes helplessly.

Ten days later, inside the Rescuer

"It's been ten days and we haven't left this damn space. I feel sick when I see purple now! If I can return to Earth in the future, I will definitely throw away all the purple things in my house!" Danji yelled while lying on his bed.

Fortunately, several people are carefully selected astronauts. Even in such a desperate situation, their mentality is still good. Of course, this is because the supplies in the ship can still support for a long time. If it is not a real desperate situation, everyone will not be abnormal.

Li Jialu paddled the tablet in her hand. She didn't dare to answer now, because her impulse caused everyone to enter this unknown space and couldn't get out. In the end, she fantasized that she could get out in a few days, but reality slapped her in the face!

Twenty days after the spacecraft entered the unknown space

Li Jialu and the other four were sitting together, each holding a tablet in their hands and playing cards. Twenty days of despair and boredom had passed, and they were still unable to escape from this boundless purple world. Everyone had lost the idea of ​​getting out, and now everyone wanted to spend the last period of their lives happily.

Although they had prepared for death before setting off, they did not expect that they would die in an unknown space. This was the first time in human history. Perhaps future generations would be able to enter this space and find their remains.
