Changkong Fighter

Chapter 334 Crossing the Stars
How extraterrestrial civilizations produce various spacecraft has always puzzled Todai. Judging from the recovered materials, this crystal is not something that can be forged using human technology.

Therefore, humanity is completely baffled by the manufacturing systems of extraterrestrial civilizations, especially how something of this mass can float in the air? And what kind of energy source can support their high-energy laser weapons!
Now, with Chang Kong's "ten-day tour" of another planet, humanity has gained a complete understanding of the technological systems of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Those large and small "factories" floating in the air in the distance—that's the industrial system of an alien civilization!

These factories are strange; they don't resemble human factories that send in various raw materials, emit thick smoke, consume large amounts of energy and water to generate resources. Instead, they are more like some kind of condensation production device.

Because of the great distance, the J-15T's onboard observation equipment could not observe the distant objects very well. However, after continuously zooming in on the distant lenses and using AI to repair them, it became clear how these suspended buildings condensed crystals through a cooling process, just like making rock candy, creating Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3.

How do they float in the air?

"I think it's appropriate to use that kind of mineral."

In the picture, the expert pointed to the strange rocks floating in the air in the distance. It is not yet clear what kind of mineral they are, but they look very much like the minerals in Avatar.

"How are they suspended in the air? Are they some kind of natural superconductor?!"

As the footage played, the experts were astonished by the minerals on another planet. No wonder... no wonder the alien civilization's technology level and the strength it displayed were different.

The planet itself has this kind of mineral that can float in the air. If we study its principle, we can easily make objects float in the air, or even process this mineral and put it into a machine as a source of "buoyancy".

As for optics, the alien octopus itself has the ability of optical camouflage, which is a civilization that is only good at one thing.

"So how exactly did they get to Earth?"

"Huh? What is that?"

Just as everyone was wondering, a strange building suddenly appeared in their field of vision: a huge palace made of crystal.

Then, the pilot adjusted the flight attitude and turned the bow of the plane toward the palace. Everyone immediately knew what he was going to do: attack the palace!
Such a large palace must be an important building, whether industrial, military, political or religious, which proves that it is a target worth attacking!
On the helmet display, you can see the pilot activating the missile's seeker and injecting inertial guidance coordinates.

"Sure enough, there's enough air for the engine to run."

Watching the J-15T maneuver nimbly in the air, the aircraft's atmospheric computer detected no engine surge or stall, indicating that the air conditions were suitable for flight. Furthermore, the air density was also sufficient for the aircraft's flight, and data about planets could be calculated using the air density.

As the J-15T turned its fuselage to face the colossal Crystal Palace in the distance, the hydrogen bomb under its belly detached from its pylon, and the engine ignited as it flew toward the target area.

Solid rocket engines can operate in a vacuum environment and can start normally even if there is no oxygen in the air.

The pyrotechnic gas propelled the rocket as it hurtled toward the palace. The pilot then performed a grotesque S-maneuver, rolled in the air, descended several hundred meters, and then flew toward the opened wormhole without looking back.

The footage paused frame by frame as the experts analyzed the surrounding situation. By the time the fighter jet leveled off, it was already noon. After eating, drinking, and taking care of personal needs, they rested for two hours before resuming their review of the combat records at 2 PM.

On the big screen, the paused footage continued to play. Watching the J15T's descent rate, some atmospheric experts, looking at the instruments and visual altitude, discovered the same problem as Liu Jun: the visual and instrument readings were different.

No problem, once they have thoroughly analyzed the data stored in the computer, they will be able to obtain accurate data through comparison and conduct a detailed analysis of the data on this extraterrestrial planet.

The J-15T, in its S-maneuver close to the ground, engaged its afterburner and raced toward the wormhole. The experts meticulously recorded the constantly changing data inside its flight helmet.

As the Einstein-Rosen Bridge drew closer, experts, following the camera's lens, saw for the first time how an alien civilization opened and stabilized the wormhole on the other side of the door.

A massive energy device is powering the wormhole by shining a high-energy beam onto a special crystal.

This crystal of unknown material acts like a converter, transforming energy into a key to open wormholes and maintaining the stability of the Einstein-Rosen bridge.

"pause!"

Watching the complete process of opening and stabilizing the wormhole, the experts quickly jotted down their deductions in their notebooks, wishing they could switch roles with the pilots and witness the wormhole opening process firsthand.

Then—the pilot selected weapons again, namely the J-15T's only two air-to-air missiles.

The two PL10 missiles flew forward along the track, crashing into the crystal one after the other!

Then the aircraft dove down, dodging ground anti-aircraft fire while firing its GSH30-2 cannon at the alien anti-aircraft system.

From the perspective of the battlefield recorder, the trajectory of the machine gun can be clearly seen. The tracer rounds fall after flying a certain distance in the air, like long fire whips, lashing hard at the anti-aircraft gun.

The fragile alien anti-aircraft gun was blown up along with the bunker by the human 30mm machine gun, and Patrick Star inside was torn to shreds by the machine gun, turning into a large pile of wreckage scattered on the ground. If you look closely, you can see that the wreckage is still wriggling.

As expected of an echinoderm, it has a very strong vitality. I wonder if more Patrick Stars will grow in the ground.

After taking down these Patrick Stars, the J-15T flew headlong into the wormhole and then traversed it.

In the battlefield recorder, the collapsing wormhole looked like a kaleidoscope, making some people with 3D motion sickness feel like their brains were spinning.

The pilot faced death at any moment in the collapsing wormhole, but luck was on his side in the end. Otherwise, these combat records would not have been able to be sent here. In this interstellar journey, the value they provided can be said to be immeasurable!
Finally, when the screen lit up, the massive ruins of Sydney in the recorder were magnified, and the time displayed had become out of sync with Earth time.

"Ten days? Is there a time difference between the two sides?"
