Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 172 Messenger

Crisis Era 121

The First Fleet of the Three-Body Problem is 2.87 light-years away from the solar system.

The Devourer spacecraft is 6730 astronomical units from the solar system.

It has been almost a year since the 'Infinite Frontier' first came into contact with the Eridanus Crystal. In this year, humanity has rushed to build three batches of small, fast, and lightweight unmanned exploration spacecraft, which have been sent in batches toward the Devourer spacecraft.

Although Luo Qing really wanted to follow those unmanned probe ships to get a close look at the massive Devourer civilization, he was stopped.

The chairman of the Earth United Government stopped Luo Qing, saying, "You can't take the risk. If you insist on going, I'll just die right here."

As he said this, the Chairman pointed a pistol at his own head.

Luo Qing: “…”

Fine, I won't go then.

It's as if you're the one who wants to go.

Don't go!

Fine, I won't go!
Enraged, Luo Qing immediately announced that he was going into seclusion: "Don't bother me! I'm going into seclusion! I'm going into complete seclusion!"

The wall-facer has gone into seclusion again.

But just as the Wallfacer went into seclusion, the solar system immediately welcomed a special guest.

The guest, traveling in a small spaceship at 5‰ the speed of light, entered the solar system along the angle between the galactic plane and the ecliptic plane, in the same direction as the Eridanus crystal.

—The 'guest' is an envoy from the Devourer Civilization.

Faced with such a major event, people awakened Luo Qing again. However, this time Luo Qing kept his promise and did not come out of seclusion. Instead, he angrily threw out his benevolent clone and set up a bewitching array in his Wallfacer courtyard.

That benevolent clone was developed a few years ago. He figured out this method of severing clones, but so far he has only managed to sever one benevolent clone.

This method of severing clones is the most difficult technique Luo Qing has encountered on his cultivation journey. Even with his comprehension, he has pondered it for more than twenty years. He can vaguely sense that this method of severing clones should have a real name.

For example, the method of severing the three corpses.

Moreover, it doesn't seem like a cultivation method that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could master, but Luo Qing wasn't quite sure which cultivation realm this method was suitable for.

Who cares? At least it's chopped up and usable.

After being thrown out, the kind-hearted Luo Qing left with the officials of the United Government, and took the opportunity to immerse himself in a deeper level of cultivation.

He's been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for over a hundred years. How can he break through?
How about we try refining the Nascent Soul?
"Original body, are you sick in the head?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you could hear me."

Luo Qing was filled with remorse.

...

The Devourer Civilization's Messenger Small Spaceship. It is a small spaceship with a rough design and simple structure, roughly the size of a human destroyer in the 21st century.

What humanity didn't expect was that they could actually understand the technological level of this small messenger spaceship, and even sensed a design similar to human spaceships in it.

Although the internal structure of this messenger spacecraft remains unknown, the presence of a propellantless engine ejection port, similar to that of human spacecraft, suggests that its technological level is roughly comparable to that of humans. In terms of aesthetic detail and technological sophistication, it is even inferior to civilian human spacecraft.

Upon discovering this fact, a greatly disappointed Ding Yi immediately chose to return to the Antarctic hibernation base and hibernate directly.

However, this small spaceship is extremely powerful. It is also a controlled nuclear fusion propellantless engine, but its thrust is much stronger than that of human propellantless engines. When it first entered the solar system and was discovered by humans, a patrolling star-class warship immediately rushed towards it. However, the messenger spaceship nimbly evaded the star-class warship's pursuit.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the star-class warships have not entered the forward four state. In fact, in the inner space of the solar system, the vast majority of human spaceships cruise at forward one (1/10000 of the speed of light) or forward two (1‰ of the speed of light), and even warships that enter forward three state are very rare.

This is not wartime, after all.

Ultimately, it was another starship that briefly fired a few low-power gamma laser beams, forcing the small spaceship to stop.

According to the tests, the small spaceship was not carrying any weapons, and it seemed to have come with some kind of goodwill, which was unexpected by humankind.

It was precisely because the other party was not carrying any weapons that humans treated this small spaceship as a 'guest'.

Finally, under the 'protection' of two starships, the small warship reached near-Earth orbit. When the human navigator invited the small warship to dock at the space port and hinted that the guests could travel to Earth via the space elevator, the warship unexpectedly avoided all guidance and violently crashed into the atmosphere, eventually turning into a dazzling meteor.

It is important to understand that, due to factors such as gravity and air resistance, human starships and planetary warships, due to their own weight, aerodynamic design, and limited power from non-propellant-radiating engines, are almost impossible to stop on the surface of any planet.

Only a few satellites, lacking atmospheres and with weak gravity, can barely accommodate small human spacecraft, such as the Moon. Starships, of stellar magnitude, absolutely cannot land on land.

Otherwise, you'll never be able to fly again.

Currently, the main channel for human beings to exchange materials between the Earth's surface and near-Earth orbit is through space elevators.

Aside from using space elevators for vertical transportation, the only other spacecraft capable of crossing the atmosphere to reach space are some civilian space shuttles or what are now considered antique chemical-powered rockets.

But this small spacecraft, defying aerodynamics, dared to crash to the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater in the United Nations Plaza. This violent landing deeply shocked humanity.

What shocked humanity the most was that the envoy from the Devourer civilization strolled out of the small spaceship, seemingly unaffected.

It emerged from the "meteorite crater".

"Warning! The Devourer is coming! Warning! The Devourer is coming!" The Eridanus Crystal, which had been peaceful in the United Nations Plaza, suddenly took flight excitedly. The Eridanus Crystal was very light, and it was the first time that humans knew that this thing could fly within the atmosphere. The Eridanus Girl pointed in the direction of the messenger and shouted, then fled in terror.

Humans immediately dispatched drones to try to intercept her, but they did not expect that the Eridanus crystal would escape so quickly that it would break free of Earth and fly away in a direction far from Earth.

In the end, it was the kind-hearted Luo Qing who teleported into space and stopped the Bojiang Crystal. He gently comforted the Bojiang girl and brought her back to Earth. Then he looked curiously at the so-called messenger.

Similar to the data provided by the Pojiang Girl, the individuals of the Devourer Civilization resemble giant lizards and are also standing upright. Their size and weight are roughly equivalent to a human main battle tank from the early 21st century.

new York.

This is the square of the United Nations building, which has a history of two centuries.

The heads of state from various countries gathered here once again. With the Risk Remover probe and the Eridanus crystal in front of them, they were already quite adept at welcoming these alien guests. Soon, the entire United Nations Plaza was sealed off by soldiers.

People originally wanted to invite the envoy to the United Nations building, but the envoy was too big and there was no suitable place to sit even if he squeezed in. The meeting place could only be hastily set up in the square.

Just as humans were figuring out how to communicate with this 'lizard' messenger, they didn't expect the other party to suddenly speak, and in fluent Chinese.

"What an amazing little bug! Has it already gone into space?"
