Chapter 2350: Encountering the Human Species
The spaceship entered the star space, and Peter Brown's uneasy mood finally dissipated. After the transformation, his body did not experience any issues in this star space, and even when Peter tried standing outside the spaceship, there were no problems at all.
Peter was most worried about not being able to withstand the different energies in the star space. Now, it seems his worries were unnecessary, as there are no issues.
The specially made spaceship has various defenses; even when sitting on an outside platform, there's a protective shield for defense. Peter sat in a chair, brewed a pot of tea, and observed the surroundings as he drank.
This is a vast star space world, expanding in all directions. Peter didn't know which destination to head towards.
However, after observing attentively, he discovered a region in the center, though very far, where starlight is dense. This should be where he can find traces of human existence, so Peter adjusted his course and moved quickly in that direction.
The journey through the star space was lonely; Peter was all alone, and that made it even lonelier.
Previously, when Peter could cultivate, he didn't mind traveling through the star space. Now, unable to cultivate, Peter could only sit cross-legged there, contemplating the cultivation techniques.
The energies here are completely different from the place he was before; none of the cultivation techniques function or have any effect. Therefore, Peter wished to rely on his insights into various cultivation techniques to derive a set suited for this realm.
However, Peter also understood that this was merely a thought, deriving such a set of techniques was not an easy task.
With nothing else to do, this became Peter's daily activity.
Time passed day by day like this.
Ten days!
One month!
One year!
Thankfully, Peter had prepared plenty of nutrient solution. He passed by countless lifeless star planets, not knowing how many. These star planets were far inferior to the one Peter had visited before.
Looking ahead, Peter noticed his spaceship nearing the central region.
After all, the spaceship's materials were not advanced enough, and certain flying techniques couldn't be used!
Peter sighed; spatial jumping and other such flying methods were unusable, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to travel for so long.
"Alarm, alarm, flying vehicle approaching ahead."
Suddenly, the AI issued an alarm.
For the first time in a year, Peter received such an alarm, feeling jubilant inside.
However, after contemplating briefly, Peter responded to the AI: "Based on the incoming flying vehicle's situation, adjust our spaceship to appear on par with their technology level."
"Understood."
Creed didn't know the exact condition of the approaching flying vehicle, but based on his understanding, places he'd visited had very high technology levels. He believed the incoming vehicles might not necessarily be more advanced than his.
After saying this, Peter donned his defense clothing. Unlike before, his cultivation was now restricted, making him unable to use it.
Putting away the external tables and chairs, Peter entered the command room and instructed the AI to make adjustments to the spaceship's appearance.
"Master, the incoming flying vehicle's situation has been scanned."
While speaking, Peter saw some graphics on the screen.
"Adjust our spaceship according to their vehicle's shape."
"Adjustment complete."
Looking at his spaceship now, it was not much different from theirs.
"Report on their attack capabilities."
"They possess only 1% of our attack power; we can destroy them."
With the AI's investigation, Peter felt relieved, thinking that their technology level truly wasn't high.
After completing these tasks, Peter instructed the AI to investigate their internal situation upon arrival, and then make further adjustments.
"The opposing language has been detected, language conversion complete, available for learning. Would you like to learn?"
Peter had long anticipated the language issue, and the spaceship was designed with such a learning device. Now, through special means, the AI had probed their language, automatically generating it.
"Learn."
Quickly, a learning device was placed on Peter's head.
A vast amount of language content was injected into Peter's Brain Domain.
Now, Peter again marveled at the strength of the Technology Planet; without this learning device, communication with them would have been difficult.
It wasn't long before Peter had learned their language.
Then, the learning device made special adjustments to Peter's pronunciation and related issues.
When Peter spoke some words aloud, they flowed in a completely new language.
The learning device was retrieved, and a smile appeared on Peter's face.
Even though the spaceship he hastily created had many shortcomings, given his current technological level, he wasn't overly worried about the other party.
Peter had decided that if they were friendly, he'd travel with them; if they intended harm, he'd eliminate them.
Having done all this, the other flying vehicles arrived and surrounded Peter's spaceship.
The AI continuously relayed data from the other's flying vehicles.
After understanding, Peter was able to grasp that their leading flying vehicle was not strong, trailing far behind his spaceship.
"Stop and submit to inspection."
Soon, Peter received a voice from the leading flying vehicle.
Ten flying vehicles had arrived, apparently resembling a patrol unit.
Not having made any moves against him, Peter breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting to resort to conflict without understanding the situation.
"We accept inspection."
Peter opened the entrance of the spaceship.
Peter was curious now, wanting to see what kind of race they were.
Upon seeing Peter's entrance open, one of their flying vehicles opened its entrance, and soldiers clad in protective suits stepped out.
With the AI's help, Peter had long adjusted his protective suit to resemble theirs closely.
Seeing their appearance now, Peter was relieved to find, for some reason, they looked just like him.
Since they were all human in appearance, Peter had no worries about merging in.
Ten soldiers emerged from the flying vehicle, stepping directly onto the extended connecting Heaven's Ladder without any instability.
