Chapter 200: Speculations (1)
At the moment, the displayed footage didn’t reveal what kind of weapons the opposing side might have. Surrounded by a glowing energy field, it was impossible to discern whether it was a mechanical construct or a biological entity.
“Overlord, based on the data extracted from the footage, our calculations suggest that the target is heading toward the Neighboring Star System. At its observed cruising speed, it would take approximately five years to reach the outskirts of the Great Valley Planet. And that is assuming the ship doesn’t accelerate. Currently, we have no information on the target’s maximum speed, so we can’t estimate its fastest arrival time to the Neighboring Star System,” reported an intelligent entity specializing in stellar observation.
As the leader of a 200-person research team, he was adept at deducing various data points from celestial angles and positions.
Luo Wen nodded, signaling the others to continue.
“Overlord, the alien vessel in the footage lacks a visible exhaust trail, making it impossible to determine the propulsion technology behind it. Perhaps their engine technology surpasses our current understanding,” said Covi.
Luo Wen recalled Covi as one of the first to integrate into the Swarm Network. In life, he had been the chief engineer for the first-generation rocket engines of the Rat Folk. After becoming an intelligent entity, he now led research in related fields. His conclusion reflected the consensus of his propulsion research group. The situation appeared increasingly unfavorable.
“Overlord, our analysis indicates that the unknown civilization likely detected the energy burst from Godzilla’s breath on the Great Dawn Planet. Such abnormal energy emissions would be highly conspicuous to advanced observational instruments,” Morgan interjected.
He paused before continuing, “Our Swarm’s technological capabilities in this area were previously underdeveloped, with limited observational range. That’s why we didn’t detect similar energy bursts on the Great Dawn Planet before.”
“As a living organism, Godzilla must have used such a thermonuclear breath attack before. However, we can’t determine how long ago it happened or which specific emission the unknown civilization detected, prompting them to send a ship for investigation,” Morgan added, glancing at Luo Wen. “It’s possible they observed an energy burst from centuries ago, and after a prolonged journey, have only now arrived. Alternatively, they may have detected it while passing by and decided to investigate.”
