Chapter 1044: Chapter 1004: What’s Going On Here?

Boss, why are we returning in such a hurry?

Weren’t we supposed to stay on the lunar surface for a month?

Why are we rushing back so anxiously?

Not only the people at the base, but also Ouyang Lei and the others are quite puzzled, as they too received notification to wait for a month before receiving the resources and specimens brought back from the Moon.

After all, the resources consumed in one round trip of the Starship are truly immense. That’s why every time it returns, the Starship is always filled with items.

This time, it’s obvious that the lunar base hasn’t loaded anything yet; they’ve returned just after landing—coming back completely unladen is nothing short of a tremendous waste of resources.

Of course, all of this was funded entirely by Lin Yi himself. All the resources belong to Lin Yi, so even though they are reluctant, there’s nothing they can do—it is, after all, Lin Yi’s Starship.

Unsurprisingly, the happiest one is Xiao Zihan, as her longing for Lin Yi is unlike anyone else’s. Although Lin Yi only left for a few days, for her, the worry and longing are feelings no one else can truly understand.

The feeling is indescribable.

Her man has gone alone to that desolate planet; such a thing is unthinkable for humans nowadays.

This is what makes Xiao Zihan extraordinarily worried.

Xiao Zihan is truly afraid that Lin Yi might encounter any accident there, worried about any situation that might arise.

But upon receiving the news of Lin Yi’s return, Xiao Zihan immediately stood up excitedly, with tears slowly welling up in her eyes.

As long as Lin Yi can return, it’s all she wants; the feeling has made Xiao Zihan suffer tremendously.

Lin Yi is her everything, the pillar of the family; any slightest accident happening to Lin Yi would be a devastating blow to her. Therefore, she is so excited that she heads directly to the base where the Starship returned by helicopter.

Sitting aboard the Starship, watching the airflow constantly passing by the window, and the flame friction produced at the wings due to the high speed of reunion, Lin Yi’s heart is incredibly excited.

Especially looking through the Starship’s glass at the distant azure planet, he feels excited and apprehensive.

He fears he hasn’t returned to the real society yet, but is still in the previous one.

He fears returning to this blue planet only to find it’s not where he used to live.

Even though Lin Yi already established radio contact with the Earth’s surface and even reached Li Huiqun, he’s still extremely anxious.

The main issue is that Xiao Zihan is not present at the base yet, so he cannot communicate with her, which makes Lin Yi unbearably anxious.

Time ticks by second by second; for Lin Yi, every second is torment, but eventually, there will be an end. The Starship flew for several hours and finally pierced through the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the radar alarms in aerospace laboratories worldwide kept sounding, with various data flooding their main screens.

Since Lin Yi rushed back this time, the Starship didn’t activate its stealth mode.

As a result, it was instantly detected by satellites from various countries. Meanwhile, batch after batch of images was transmitted back.

Seeing the images, everyone in the laboratories was shocked, their eyes glued to the computer screens, looking as if they had seen ghosts, none of them speaking for a long time. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Even their breathing seemed to momentarily stop; hearts couldn’t help but twitch violently.

What is this thing? Is it Huaxia’s Star-Class Battleship?

Isn’t this something that should exist only in movies?

How could it be developed for real?

Judging by its shape and size, it’s comparable to dozens of rockets!

How was such a large thing developed?

Why haven’t I received any news about it?

Under normal circumstances, if the other side really developed something this big, our spy satellites should’ve captured images!

Moreover, the visual effect is too sci-fi, too shocking.

What powers it?

Why is there no fire at its tail?

By what means is it powered?

For a moment, everyone frantically speculated about how significant Huaxia’s operation is this time.

Judging by the sheer scale of such a giant object, our technology seems to lag far behind Huaxia!

In truth, Lin Yi hadn’t anticipated this, having spent two whole months in that ancient society. Because of this, he might have inadvertently overlooked the current situation here.

After all, over there, he was in absolute charge, holding an exalted position, leading him to overlook that aspect.

He neglected the presence of the spy satellites, coupled with his eagerness to return home to see his wife and daughter, hence the blunder.

Barely after entering the atmosphere, the satellite phone rang, and the call was from none other than Ouyang Lei.

He sounded anxious:

"What’s going on? Why didn’t you activate the Starship’s stealth function?

The Starship’s images are now in the eyes of spy satellites, possibly already reaching various factions.

What should we do now? Is there any way to fix this?"

Upon hearing the call, Lin Yi instantly realized the seriousness of the situation, noting his oversight due to urgency, he helplessly smiled bitterly, patting his forehead:

"Oh, some issues arose, hurried back and forgot about it. It’s too late to activate it now."

Despite saying this, he quickly ordered the Starship’s control system:

"Activate full ship stealth mode immediately, block all search signals, block all detection signals."

Following Lin Yi’s words, the Starship promptly responded.
