567 The Earth Has Been Discovered by an Alien Planet
However, after some investigation, they discovered that the red box was abnormally hard. They could not break it with any existing method.
“Sigh, what a pity. If we could open this red box, we might be able to reveal the secrets related to alien technology.”
The country’s spokesperson sighed.
They later decided to invite the world’s most authoritative research team to study the mysterious red box.
After the people of China saw the press conference, they were immediately alarmed.
“Chief Wu, look, doesn’t it resemble the red box we found earlier?” a researcher could not help but exclaim.
Wu Mo was surprised when he took a look.
So, these red boxes had spread all over the world?
This meant that when the wormhole exploded, device fragments drifted far away with the current, or the sea monsters brought them to the different oceans around the world.
‘Looks like there are quite a number of red boxes. If we can collect more of them, we can build more controllable nuclear fusion reactors and even assemble antimatter production devices,’ Wu Mo said in his heart.
It’s worth mentioning that only China had successfully developed controllable nuclear fusion reactors. Other countries had yet to make any progress due to material issues.
Now that a small country had invited a world-class scientific research team to assist them, it did not seem appropriate for China to participate.
If they made information related to the red box public, it might expose the fact that China was using the red box to produce controllable nuclear fusion reactors.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, China decided to stay silent for the time being.
Wu Mo had paid attention to the conference on the red box.
A few days later, the research team made some important discoveries.
An old man with white hair stood up excitedly and claimed that the red box was made of extremely sturdy materials and was probably not a product of Earth.
It was hard enough to be used as shell material for controllable nuclear fusion reactors.
The moment this news was released, it shocked many people. They found it unusual.
“The key lies in the materials,” Wu Mo said calmly. “With this material, it won’t be difficult to develop a reactor. Besides, they’re the top scientific research team in the world!”
Wu Mo’s point of view was simple and clear: If the best research team on the planet could not succeed, China naturally could not do it alone.
Hearing Wu Mo’s frank opinion, those who held opposing views felt discouraged.
They saw this technology as China’s absolute advantage and were worried about losing their unique position.
However, Wu Mo continued, “But a controllable nuclear fusion reactor alone is not enough. It might not even meet their domestic energy needs, so we don’t have to worry.”
“You’re right, Chief Engineer Wu! What can a single controllable nuclear fusion reactor do?”
Someone immediately nodded in agreement with Wu Mo.
When China successfully developed the first controllable nuclear fusion reactor, it did not cause an uproar.
They completely changed their domestic energy structure and gradually distributed it to the world only after the establishment of two giant reactors.
Meanwhile, the other country had just discovered a small red box, and it might not even be able to build the first reactor.
The old chief had an epiphany and decided to listen to Wu Mo’s suggestion. “Wu Mo, are you saying that we should focus on scouring the seabed and finding as many red boxes as possible?” he asked.
Wu Mo nodded. “That’s right. Now, the whole world has realized that the red box can be used as a raw material for controllable nuclear fusion reactors. Therefore, we need to be one step ahead and expand our search area!”
“Alright, I’ll make this our top priority and have the front line take action immediately!”
The old chief nodded and quickly gave his orders.
More than a dozen nuclear-powered submarines took on the task of sailing to the high seas. They would conduct a carpet search and search for red boxes in the sea.
These red boxes were the only known materials on the planet that could be used to make controllable nuclear fusion reactors.
Creating more reactors would ensure that they had a lasting voice in the field. They would not have to worry about being replaced.
At the same time, the small spaceship was leaving the Taal Nebula and returning.
There was still one day left until the spaceship returned to land.
At this time, the four astronauts were still confused. They did not understand why the base had issued such an order.
They sighed internally and lamented the fact that their beautiful dream of leaving the galaxy had been shattered.
However, right then, a mysterious black shadow slowly passed by in front of them. In an instant, it seemed to jump into an incomparably huge rift and disappear without a trace.
“Heavens, what was that?” someone cried out in alarm. He quickly rubbed his eyes and tried to take a closer look, but the black shadow was gone.
The four astronauts had witnessed the black shadow at the same time, and they were sure that it could not be an illusion.
‘Has a four-dimensional creature entered our three-dimensional world?’ One of them had an absurd thought.
As astronauts, they had heard about the classifications of four-dimensional space and three-dimensional space ever since they were young trainees.
Four-dimensional space had not been proven by science, and it was more like a legend. But what else could explain the previous occurrence besides the existence of four-dimensional space?
The huge object had appeared and disappeared in an instant. Only another space could have accommodated it, otherwise they would have continued seeing it.
“Report to the command center on base!”
Not long after, Wu Mo and the others learned of this bizarre encounter.
‘Looks like there are indeed four-dimensional creatures in this universe…’ Wu Mo thought gloomily.
Four-dimensional creatures could travel freely between worlds, appear anywhere in the same timeline, and disappear from a world at any time. This made it impossible for people to find them.
A four-dimensional creature could even easily dodge the attack of a top-tier weapon.
It was like a group of ants forming an army in an attempt to attack humans.
Humans only needed to lift their feet to escape should the ants unleash their most powerful attack.
In the same way, four-dimensional creatures enjoyed such innate advantage over three-dimensional creatures.
“Hurry up and get them back here. Don’t delay it any longer!” Wu Mo said coldly.
They were in a precarious situation. If the four-dimensional creature was hostile, the spaceship from their human planet would not be able to return.
“Alright, Chief Engineer Wu!”
Therefore, the front line sent an emergency order for the spaceship to move forward at full speed.
Fortunately, the controllable nuclear fusion reactor instantly doubled the spaceship’s speed.
Three days later, the spaceship slowly landed. They covered up the matter and sealed off all news, so no one knew about it.
After the four astronauts arrived at the base, they immediately underwent a comprehensive physical examination.
The test results showed that they were in good physical condition and their minds were clear. They could completely recall what they had encountered outside the atmosphere.
After he listened to the astronauts’ narration, Wu Mo came to a terrifying conclusion: Carlot, Tafaro, and other unknown planets might have discovered Earth.
They had initially sent sentries out to monitor Earth. Discovering that its civilization was not advanced, they might start a war and launch an invasion on Earth.
Time was running out. Wu Mo realized that he had to perfect the antimatter device as soon as possible and apply it to various fields.
He could only improve their overall defense by successfully developing antimatter. That way, they could fight against the invasion of different civilizations from other planets.
