Chapter 969: Ghost Ship?
When this mysterious spirit ship wandering in the celestial void appeared, it didn't cause any abnormal phenomena in heaven and earth.
Moreover, it happened at night, so the people on the ground couldn't see the appearance of this spirit ship at all.
However, ever since the blackhole vortex appeared, related departments of aerospace from countries around the world have been secretly monitoring this area with high-powered telescopes at all times.
As a result, when the spirit ship emitting a faint silvery glow appeared, many national departments detected this scene.
Even some amateur astronomers who had purchased telescopes saw this scene which was enough to change human civilization on Earth and redefine Earth's human history.
When the spirit ship appeared, Tong Yunshu felt uneasy, walked out of the room, but when she looked up into the sky, she couldn't see the spirit ship with the naked eye.
The blackhole vortex seemed to hang in the void, not too far, yet in reality, it was extremely distant from the ground.
Although the spirit ship was enormous, at such a distant range, even as a cultivator with strong eyesight, Tong Yunshu couldn't see it. She felt vaguely that under the blackhole vortex, a dimly shining silvery star seemed to have appeared.
Divine Continent, Space Agency.
Ning Siya was listening to music with headphones on, having just prepared an instant meal to have a late-night snack.
Recently, the work had been really boring, and she was put in charge of observing that blackhole vortex.
The blackhole vortex had been there for two months already, and no country dared to send a professional team into space for a close investigation, which disappointed Ning Siya.
Before the appearance of alien civilization, people hoped for alien existence. Now, with the sudden emergence of the blackhole vortex, it likely served as a corridor connecting Earth's human civilization with alien civilizations. Yet, powerful countries with the capability to launch manned rockets remained silent.
Are they that afraid of death?
What happened to the spirit of exploration?
Ning Siya thought that if her country needed volunteers to explore the blackhole vortex, she would definitely sign up.
It was certainly more interesting than being destroyed by the sweetness from home.
If she could actually explore the blackhole vortex successfully and enter another dimensional civilization, she would become the first person in history, someone to be chronicled by Earth's civilization.
The thought alone was exciting.
Opening the instant meal box, just about to feast, Ning Siya glanced at the surveillance screen, then suddenly froze.
The next moment, she wiped her eyes forcefully and stared wide-eyed at the display screen.
"What... what the heck!"
In the high-resolution image captured by the surveillance cameras, a massive ship radiating silver brilliance suddenly appeared.
A ship in the sky?
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed awkward.
Shouldn't it be aircraft, airships, or similar flying craft? How could it be a ship-like vessel?
Yes, it was indeed a ship.
Just that this ship could fly.
As she was still in shock, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Only to see small dots emerging from the ship's compartments onto the deck.
It was people!
Even individuals with long hair, resembling ancient people.
Ning Siya shivered suddenly, with a look of terror, feeling a chill in the air.
Are those... are those people?
In her vision, this ship emitted a faint silver radiance all around, with eerie lights flashing, and the people on the deck, all dressed in retro outfits, looked pale and creepy under the silvery glowing light.
"Gh... ghost ship?"
Ning Siya took a deep breath, hastily grabbed the communication device, and connected to her father's number.
After a while, her father Ning Zhongze's slightly lazy voice came through: "Calling this late..."
"Dad... Dad, I... I saw a ghost ship, a really big ghost ship appeared under the blackhole vortex, and there are ghosts on it!"
On the other end of the line, Ning Zhongze's pupils contracted, immediately becoming fully alert, and he asked, "What did you say? A ghost ship appeared in the blackhole vortex?"
"Yes... yes, it should have come out from there. Dad, the blackhole vortex won't be a passage to the Netherworld Hell, right?" Ning Siya asked nervously.
"Nonsense, there's no such thing as ghosts in this world. It must be an alien civilization descending on Earth space. Report it to the higher-ups immediately." Ning Zhongze scolded loudly.
Ning Siya was taken aback: "Ah? Alien civilization? But these people look like our Divine Continent's ancient people, not like aliens."
Ning Zhongze was both surprised and delighted: "Really? Then we are of the same kind, the feared alien invasion shouldn't happen. Immediately transmit the footage you've recorded to the higher-ups, don't delay important matters."
"Yes."
Ning Siya calmed down significantly. Despite her peculiar thoughts, she was very efficient at getting things done and quickly transmitted the footage to the higher-ups.
Three minutes later, at Yunwu Mountain's Base, Qin Yanyang was awakened.
Mo Yinpeng appeared beside her with the recorded footage and played it once for her.
Yang Fei, also watching the entire monitoring footage on the side, after seeing it, the few of them simultaneously looked up towards the sky.
Amidst the deep night sky, they saw a silver glow slowly moving far away.
This indicated that the blackhole vortex was far away, beyond what the naked eye could see over such a distance.
"Minister, what should we do?" Mo Yinpeng asked excitedly.
It was her first time seeing such a bizarre scene, feeling very anxious inwardly.
Was this a ghost appearing, or did an alien civilization invade Earth? To supp#ort our wo%r@k^,@ p#leas-e r+ea&d on M|%V^|.LE!_%MP@YR.*
"Initiate the highest air defense alert, and at the same time, dispatch unmanned drones to welcome them. See if they will descend over the Great Divine Continent, if so, initiate contact and attempt communication. If unsuccessful, take them down." Qin Yanyang decisively ordered.
Receiving orders, Mo Yinpeng immediately complied and left.
After Mo Yinpeng departed, Yang Fei said: "Honey, these people look just like our Divine Continent's people."
Qin Yanyang nodded: "Correct, based on the footage, they should be quite tall."
Yang Fei said: "I can't see that. But since they appear to be the same as Divine Continent's humans, could they be descendants of the former cultivator warriors of the Hidden Sect?"
Qin Yanyang frowned: "I've never heard of the former cultivator warriors of the Divine Continent leaving the Earth Plane. Are there any records related to this in the Taoist scrolls?"
Yang Fei nodded: "Yes, some Taoist warriors cultivate to immortality and ascend, which should mean they left the Earth Plane for a higher dimension."
Qin Yanyang shook her head: "That's too mysterious, not very credible. If these people truly belong to a civilization, and they even originated from Earth, then why is there no record of this on Earth?"
Yang Fei thought for a moment and said: "We can only guess here. Honey, could we use manned rockets to take me up to see them? Only after contacting them can we understand who they are, where they came from, and what their purpose on Earth is."
Qin Yanyang's expression changed, she shook her head: "No, not now. We don't know their strength, we can't act rashly."
Yang Fei said: "What's there to fear, I've already established my Foundation, feeling terrifyingly strong now."
Qin Yanyang's mouth twitched, and she snorted: "I've flown to high altitudes before, the higher you go, the greater the power law's constraints. But the people on that ship seemed at ease in high altitudes, which suggests that their realm is high and shouldn't be underestimated."
Yang Fei thought again, indeed, this was the case, and he said seriously: "Are you saying that anyone on that ship could be stronger than us?"
"Possibly," Qin Yanyang said in a solemn tone.
As they talked, a loud sound came from the void. Although it was unclear what was happening in the dark night, Yang Fei recognized it as the sound of fighter jets taking off.
The Divine Continent's Air Force had already taken off, going to communicate with the mysterious ship like the ghost ship.
