Chapter 1545 - The Svetovid

Chapter 1545: The Svetovid

Svetovid is one of the main deities in Slavic mythology and is the god of war, fertility, and abundance. As the god of the Slavs on the Baltic coast, he is depicted as having four heads and four faces, riding a white horse, holding a sword and a spear, and often accompanied by three hundred cavalries. Not all space colonization ships were mythological, but to some extent, all the ships inherited the culture and blood of their “suzerain state”.

The space colonization ship named after Svetovid, codenamed Courage, aimed at a small wormhole 3.2 light-years away from the solar system. The plans of different countries were akin to this. Two ships set off at the same time, with one headed to a wormhole theoretically capable of jumping to hundreds of light-years away to find new hope in the unknown universe, while the other sailed into the expansive universe and passed through centuries in hibernation.

Golovin couldn’t remember exactly how long he slept.

He only remembered that at the very end, the chairman patted him on the shoulder and told him in a solemn tone that the Soviet future was already on his shoulders. However, to this day, the specific content of that mission and the dogma that he once firmly believed had long been forgotten in the passage of time.

As for how he survived through time, it was another story that needed time to tell.

“Our communication channel has been hijacked. Their starship is probably equipped with high-power quantum communication equipment,” Kelvin lowered his voice and said to Jiang Chen, “They parsed our communication code, bypassed the outpost on Europa, and directly connected to our communication channel.”

When he heard this news, Jiang Chen looked a bit surprised.

It’s the quantum communication technology with the highest security.

After he thought for a moment, he immediately made a decision.

“Let Europa suspend the project and censor the news first. Also, immediately expel those who don’t have enough authority from here.”

“Roger!” Kelvin nodded and walked quickly to the side.

Soon, a large number of staff members were taken away from the command center and only a few people remained.

Jiang Chen looked at the man on the screen, deliberated for a moment, pressed on the communication button, and connected into the communication channel of the starship. He then said in a humble but dignified voice.

“Jiang Chen, Chief Director of the Earth Defense Alliance and President of Celestial Trade. I would like to greet you with my welcome while at the same time, I hope you can explain your intention to hijack our communication channel.”

“Please forgive our abrupt behavior, but please believe that we have no ill intention. It just happened as our last resort,” Galovin continued in the same monotone. He slightly lowered his head and continued, “We are running out of time, and only you can help us.”

“What do you want?” Jiang Chen stared at him and asked.

“Our people need supplies,” Galovin said briefly, in straightforwardness, “If you can, please rescue us from the ice sheet.”

“It can’t be done,” Jiang Chen shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but we don’t have the technology to help you. We tried drilling into the ice sheet, but it was quickly destroyed by water pressure, and the shaft was instantly frozen again…”

Jiang Chen was more curious about how he ended up in the ice sheet of Europa. It was an ice sheet few kilometers thick. Even the thinnest place was beyond the maximum thickness of the polar icecap.

Galovin did not say anything, instead, his finger moved in the air.

A string of zeros and ones seemed to have ripped a void in the area that the finger passed through and began to spill to Jiang Chen’s side. In the brief glimpse, a large amount of data flowed in through the communication channel into the space command’s server.

“Warning, a large stream of data incoming.” Lilith’s voice rang in Jiang Chen’s ear.

Now she was responsible for the information security of the entire Celestial City. Of course, this huge data stream caught her attention immediately.

“Analyze the content of the data,” Jiang Chen ordered.

“Working… the analysis is finished. It’s a lot of holographic images and text descriptions.” Lilith, who was lying on the sofa in the mansion on Coro Island, blinked, “It’s confirmed that the data is not dangerous, do you want to lift the quarantine?”

“…Quarantine in a separate server first.” After he ordered, he took a pause, then looked at Galovin on the screen, “Can you explain what just happened?”

“Just a bunch of old files that you may find helpful.” Galovin nodded, “Before we revived, we had half a century of experience developing Europa. Based on our observation, what you’re lacking is not knowledge, but technology, as well as a new way of thinking.”

Jiang Chen swiped his finger across the holographic screen as he glanced through the information Galovin sent. There was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Galovin sent him a blueprint on how the CCCP developed Jupiter and its moons.

“Is this sincere enough?” Galovin asked.

“Enough…” As he turned off the holographic image of the watch, he looked at him. While he was still vigilant, it was not as explicit as before, “But before I help you, I must figure out where you are from and what you plan to do.”

Galovin did not evade this question and responded with a tone without ups and downs.

“The wormhole jump had a little malfunction, and our scientists miscalculated a decimal point, which caused us to sleep for too long.”

“In the virtual Garden of Eden, we spent almost endless years and took a little time from those almost endless years to solve the problems we faced. Because we know that the virtual paradise does not belong to us, we will be awakened someday in the future.”

“When we escaped from the wormhole, we have appeared on Europa’s seafloor.”

“I know this is unbelievable, but this is what we have experienced.”

After Galovin finished, Jiang Chen continued to stare at him as he tried to read deception or similar emotions from his pupils. However, it turned out that it was futile because emotions seemed to not exist on him from the beginning.

Galovin saw that Jiang Chen didn’t speak and continued.

“You should have been in contact with people over there, right?”

“Over there?”

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. At this moment, Galovin said the name that sure made Jiang Chen surprised

“The void.”

“Have you seen them?” Jiang Chen frowned.

“We stayed in the void for a short time and had a relationship with those poor people.” Galovin said, “They told us the story about you and all of you and the troubles you face. In the end, they hope we can help you.”

“I know there is no free lunch in this world,” Jiang Chen stared at Galovin and said, “What is your intention?”

“Intention?” Bewildered by this word for about two seconds, a smile appeared on Galovin face, “With your way of thinking, there is no problem with interpreting it this way. First of all… we need a piece of land to rest, a place not disturbed by anyone.”

“In exchange, we will help you.”
