Chapter 51: On Ao Star

The home planet of the Ao Star Civilization, Ao Star, was located in a binary star system. One star was in the prime of its main sequence, while the other had already become a white dwarf.

The distance between the two stars was quite far, about sixty Astronomical Units, which was equivalent to 60 times the distance from Earth to the Sun. It would take light eight and a half hours to travel this distance.

Ao Star orbited the star in the main sequence stage at a distance of about 1.3 Astronomical Units. This was a very stable cosmic space. Any celestial bodies from the outer layers of the star system would be intercepted by the white dwarf guarding the outside.

For example, some comets, massive meteorites, and asteroids that accidentally wandered in could not escape the power ful gravitational hand of the white dwarf. This low-mass white dwarf was like a loyal bodyguard, guarding the inner space of the binary star system.

Therefore, Ao Star had enough time to evolve life. Life then evolved into intelligent beings, and intelligent beings created civilization. After nearly ten million years of evolution and development, the Ao Star Civilization became one of the three major Watcher Civilizations in the Galaxy.

The diameter of Ao Star was about 1.5 times that of Earth, but its density was similar to Earth’s, so the gravitational acceleration on the planet was not much different from Earth’s.

The technology of the Ao Star Civilization had reached a level of returning to simplicity and truth. On Ao Star, there were definitely no high towers reaching into the clouds, nor was it an appearance of gray steel buildings everywhere. On the contrary, the vegetation coverage on the planet reached 80%. Green trees, fresh flowers, and blue water were all present. No building on Ao Star exceeded 50 meters in height, and they were sparsely distributed, giving no sense of crowding.

The Ao Star Civilization did not lack land, nor did it lack Earth-like planets. They directly controlled fifteen Earth-like planets, while the population of Ao Star was only 3 billion. The number of Aostarians living on each planet was just over 200 million. The abundance of resources each Aostarian could enjoy made people from other civilizations deeply envious.

Yan Siyu’s home was on the mother planet Ao Star. Over the past two years, she had piloted a spaceship to dozens of Earth-like planets just to find Lin Lei.

However, the random teleportation of the teleporter back then was indeed a bit too random. Yan Siyu searched all the way along the third spiral arm of the Galaxy, but there was no trace of Lin Lei on any Earth-like planet.

The initial stirring of affection, after three years of settling, had turned into an emotion that Yan Siyu herself was not quite clear about. Unforgettable, reluctant to let go—anyway, she just wanted to see Lin Lei again and see how he was doing.

Yan Siyu, who had searched for three years, had pretty much given up hope, but she was still a bit unhappy. Ultimately, Lin Lei was the first member of the opposite sex to walk into her heart. Although he came from an uncivilized planet, he himself possessed a quality that made people unforgettable at first sight.

These few days, her brother Yan Qingming happened to be at home, so Yan Siyu sorted out her thoughts and did not reveal her mood in the slightest.

“Brother, what are you looking at?” As soon as Yan Siyu entered Yan Qingming’s room, she found her brother watching a holographic video with full concentration.

“Oh, it’s Siyu. Nothing much, just something interesting I discovered recently. Look, I intercepted this from a Galaxy Flight. This man and woman are very interesting,” Yan Qingming said, pointing at the holographic video with his finger.

On the holographic video, there was clearly the record of Lin Lei and Fuweili just entering the Galaxy Flight. At that time, the space pirates had not arrived yet, and the Subspace communicator had not been cut off either. As an Aostarian, Yan Qingming naturally had the authority to obtain these videos.

Yan Siyu looked at the man and woman in the holographic video. Apart from a strange sense of familiarity with that man, she did not find anything else special.

She asked strangely, “Brother, this is just an ordinary man and woman. Maybe they are siblings, maybe they are a couple. There’s nothing noteworthy, right?”

Yan Qingming patted his forehead and said, “I forgot to tell you the story behind it. Look at that woman in the video; she is that Apocalypse woman. Not long ago on the Galaxy Network, she completely trashed my comrade using a Mecha. Very strange, isn’t it? She in the video and she on the Galaxy Network are like two different people!”

Yan Qingming quickly called up the combat video of Li Xiaoran and Lin Lei.

Sure enough, the ruthlessness and sharpness of the Black Rose Mecha above were completely unlike something that the little Apocalypse woman happily snuggling in the man’s arms on the Galaxy Flight could do.

Although intelligent beings generally have dual personalities, they shouldn’t be as extreme as shown in the video. Moreover, how could that powerful Mecha control technique be explained? Yan Qingming knew very well that that woman was just a planetary ecology researcher on Apocalypse.

Finally, Yan Qingming added, “For this matter, I even went to Apocalypse Star personally. I saw that woman with my own eyes, which allowed me to confirm that the guy on the Galaxy Network was not this Apocalypse person named Fuweili herself, but someone impersonating her identity!”

There was another special point that Yan Qingming did not mention. That was, he tracked Fuweili’s traces on the Galaxy Network afterward but found that he could not find any record of her logging on this time. If he hadn’t saved this video beforehand, he would have suspected whether this Fuweili had logged onto the Galaxy Network at all.

And everything now showed that a mysterious person had used this woman’s account. Moreover, this mysterious person was very intimate with her.

Because to use someone else’s Galaxy Network account, as far as Yan Qingming knew, one had to precisely simulate the surface brain wave characteristics of the person involved. The precision of this simulation was an extremely high threshold, enough to keep 99.9% of people out.

To play this trick under the noses of the intelligent life on the Galaxy Network, the precision of the brain wave simulation had to be realistic enough to pass for the real thing.

Then this person had to know the physiological condition of Fuweili from Apocalypse like the back of their hand. The only ones who could do this were the intimate associates of this Apocalypse woman. So Yan Qingming tracked it to this Galaxy Flight with the number YC0056, and then he discovered this very interesting video.

Yes, that man! throughout the entire video record, that Apocalypse woman revolved around this man. And this man’s physical state, walking posture, and eyes were very similar to the Black Rose Mecha.

This man was definitely a top expert. In the entire video of the flight, he only displayed his power once in the Starry Corridor. But just this once, it allowed Yan Qingming to deduce many things.

He was not afraid of the Apocalypse Person’s stun energy gun, which indicated that he mastered some kind of Protective Force Field within his body.

After hearing the threat from that Apocalypse man, his killing intent erupted instantly. Although he did not attack in the end, he left many traces there. For example, on the high-strength alloy floor of the flight, two unobvious footprints appeared. Beside the footprints were spiral twisted lines, which was the result of high-intensity energy flowing through.

To be able to do this, his body Energy Level was at least above 15.0! It was on par with his own.

“Siyu, do you know? This man who claims to be an Earthling is at least no worse than me in physical fitness. As for the rest, like various combat skills, I’m afraid I’m no match for him,” Yan Qingming turned his head and said to Yan Siyu.

Unexpectedly, he found that his sister’s face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were misty with flashing water, looking like she was about to cry. This really shocked Yan Qingming.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?” Yan Qingming asked anxiously. This was his most precious younger sister; he had always held her like a treasure since she was little.

“You said he is an Earthling? Then what is his name?” Yan Siyu pointed at the man in the frozen video and asked. Her voice was trembling unconsciously.

She recognized him. This was Lin Lei from Earth. He had changed so much, becoming stronger and more mature, but those eyes hadn’t changed. They were still those domineering yet proud black eyes, with a desolate look amidst the uninhibitedness.

But what made her most sad was that she had painstakingly searched for him for three years, while his hand was around another woman’s waist. The tacit understanding and intimacy shown by the two in the video made Yan Siyu feel a sadness that was suffocating.

That warm embrace used to belong to her!

At this moment, Yan Siyu finally recognized the thought deep in her heart. It turned out that the shy young man by the small river who said hugging her was like hugging the entire Universe had unknowingly occupied her soul.

“Yes, he claims to be an Earthling. I checked a lot of information and confirmed that his appearance indeed has all the characteristics of an Earthling. Oh, his name is Lin Lei…” Saying this, Yan Qingming suddenly stopped and looked at his sister in disbelief.

“You know him! You met him during the adult trial, and even developed feelings for him?!” Yan Qingming suppressed the anger in his voice. With an Aostarian’s brain, it was easy to deduce these things. This time, he felt his sister had really been willful!

Yan Siyu bit her delicate lower lip tightly and did not make a sound, but the tears in her beautiful eyes kept flowing down, falling to the ground like crystal clear pearls and shattering!

Seeing that his sister was truly sad, Yan Qingming’s heart softened, and he relaxed his tone: “Siyu, forget him! You have no common language with him. And he can’t even provide you with a stable living environment! Although a young girl’s fantasy is beautiful, the dream will eventually wake up. And you saw it too, he has another woman.”

“But they broke up. Brother, you saw it too! I want to go find him and ask him clearly!” Yan Siyu said in a low voice, but her tone was very firm. Since childhood, this brother had always indulged her. This time would be the same; as long as she insisted, he would definitely compromise.

“You…” Yan Qingming looked at his sister’s stubborn appearance and knew that nothing he said would be of use. Not only was it useless, but he also had to help keep this matter hidden from their parents.

Finally, Yan Qingming waved his hand helplessly and said, “Siyu, let me have some peace and quiet and think carefully.” Since he couldn’t get through to his sister, he would have to take another path.

Yan Siyu was shocked and her face turned pale. As soon as this sentence came out, it showed that her brother had compromised with her, but he would definitely find another way to solve the problem: “Brother, you have to promise me that you won’t go and destroy him. Otherwise, I won’t talk to you for the rest of my life!”

Yan Qingming had just had this thought when Yan Siyu saw through it. He was a bit angry from embarrassment: “What do you take your brother for? Am I that tasteless? Rest assured, that Earthling is very strong. As long as he doesn’t seek death himself, it’s hard for others to touch him.”

Now Yan Qingming was completely out of options; he really didn’t want to break his sister’s heart.
