Chapter 523 The Temptation of Returning to the Village

Meredith's action was very fast, almost as soon as Elizabeth and the others went back to bring the words to them, they rushed over.

She didn't know what Ethan was going to say to herself, but Ethan had already proved what he said before: his appearance was indeed a kind of luck for everyone on the Prometheus!

If it weren't for Ethan's existence, no one knew what would happen in this place where aliens and terrifying biological weapons existed, and the entire expedition team might even be wiped out.

Although there were some casualties, they were still within a tolerable range. At the same time, this scientific operation achieved results far exceeding expectations—a living 'engineer', which is really of great significance.

Even if they return to Earth immediately, the harvest is enough to cause a huge sensation.

The only pity is that Pete Welland didn't give herself what she wanted until she died. No matter how successful this operation is, she still won't get any benefits after returning to Earth, and may even face a worse situation than before.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Meredith is thinking about what Ethan wants to do?

This alien suddenly appeared on the Prometheus, did not harm anyone, and even rescued many people. She didn't think that the person who claimed to pass by to watch the excitement was really so kind. She was sure that the other party had some plots.

It's a pity that she had already tried to get some information from the man named Logan, but the man's mouth was tight and he didn't reveal anything at all.

It seems that the specific situation can only be learned from the man named Ethan.

"Is this... a black hole?"

When Meredith arrived here, Ethan was standing in the 'Arsenal', 'lifting' all the cans around him into the air, and he didn't see him doing anything special, these cans flew one by one Into the dark sphere above Ethan's head that seemed to swallow everything.

From Meredith's point of view, the thing above Ethan's head looked like a small black hole. When she realized this, her legs felt a little weak, and she even turned around and ran away. impulse.

"Don't worry, I won't accidentally hurt you."

On Ethan's head is the aggregate of space energy, which is the trick he used to deal with Yigo a while ago: to create a huge space storm within a limited range, but this time Ethan has made some improvements. The center of the body opens a transmission channel with a certain suction force, and throws the 'residue that has been crushed but may still exist' into it.

The other side of the transmission channel is still the nearby stars, so even if there are any residues, they will be completely destroyed by the stars.

However, the suction at the center of the energy storm will only affect the objects it actually touches. These jars will fly up. It is Ethan who uses the mage's hand to pick up these objects and throw them into the energy storm above his head.

That is to say, if Ethan doesn't make special adjustments, as long as he doesn't risk his life to touch this energy, he won't be hurt by it.

Considering that this thing looks like a black hole in appearance, no one will actively touch it.

After cleaning up all the jars in the warehouse with a wave of his hand, Ethan put down his spread hands.

With his movements, the black hole-like energy storm above his head gradually stopped, and it seemed to disappear as if he had been sucked into the most central singularity.

"What the hell is that?"

The first thing Meredith thought of was a small black hole generator. This alien named Ethan, who looks no different from the people on Earth, should have mastered a higher level of civilization. Maybe those magical methods before were the effect of equipment she didn't understand.

As a result, Ethan overturned his speculation with one sentence.

"magic."

"..."

Meredith obviously didn't believe it. Although she was not a scientist, she had the atmosphere of her life since she was a child. This time, she also took a group of scientists on a scientific investigation to explore the origin of human beings—almost all religious legends were overthrown, and human beings were confirmed to be another group of high-level civilizations. created.

At this moment, you told me that you used magic?

"Stop kidding, it's not funny at all."

Ethan spread his hands, he was telling the truth, but it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't believe it, he doesn't have to twist the other party's thoughts to his own rhythm.

"Let's get down to business!"

Hearing that Essen mentioned business, Meredith immediately put aside the magic joke.

"Are you finally willing to tell your purpose?"

"Before then, what do you think of this spaceship?"

"Spaceship?" Meredith immediately remembered that the building they were in was actually an engineer's spaceship. According to the star map discovered by scientists, the destination of this spaceship was Earth: "What's wrong with this spaceship?"

"This spaceship has a faster speed, allowing you to return to Earth in a shorter time."

When Ethan spoke, he didn't stand still, but kept walking through the spaceship, and Meredith could only follow behind him.

Even with her, she also had some understanding of the internal structure of the spaceship. She already knew the locations of the various warehouses, and she witnessed Ethan throwing those 'terrible jars' into the 'black hole' with her own eyes.

"And then? Are you going to 'send' this spaceship to us? What do you want?"

Meredith watched Ethan keep cleaning up these dangerous items, and mentioned that this spaceship has a faster speed. Considering that the other party can directly 'hypnotize' engineers, control objects, and create small black holes, etc., She understood that the other party had regarded the spaceship under her feet as her own trophy.

Take out your loot, and you will definitely not give it away to yourself so kindly. I estimate that you will have to pay something to get it.

Does the spaceship make Meredith's heart flutter? It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.

Leaving aside things like the dormant cabin is inherently dangerous, but the flight time is enough to make them want to change ships.

"The Prometheus."

"what?"

Meredith thought she heard it wrong. What she seemed to hear was the Prometheus?

"How about exchanging this 'engineer' spaceship for your Prometheus? You don't suffer from this deal."

Of course, there is no disadvantage. Although the Prometheus has squeezed out most of the funds of Wayland Enterprises, it is an interstellar spacecraft carefully built using the most advanced technology on earth.

However, compared with a spaceship of an advanced civilization with mature interstellar navigation technology, it is still not enough.

What's more, apart from its more advanced technology, the value of this spaceship has a more important special significance-this is an alien spaceship, which is the spaceship used by the creator of mankind.

Even if there is only one, it is enough to drive the whole earth crazy, let alone occupying both?

But she couldn't figure it out, what did Ethan want the Prometheus for? It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with this spaceship, she just felt strange.

"The appearance of the Prometheus is more in line with my preferences, so I want to collect it."

"collect?"

Meredith was speechless, and then looked at Hill and Logan from the corner of her eye, and found that their reactions were not unexpected at all. It seemed that Ethan was telling the truth?

Think about it, many rich people on the earth also have the habit of collecting antique cars and even antique airplanes, which seems not incomprehensible.

It's just that the most advanced spaceship on earth is only used for collection in the eyes of the other party, which makes her feel weird.

"Are you still hesitating on such a good condition?"

"No, I think it's a good deal, there's just one problem."

"what?"

"How can I be sure this ship is safe enough? And none of us will operate this ship."

This is indeed a problem. Ethan is also an alien in the eyes of Meredith, no different from the group of engineers who want to destroy mankind.

How can she be sure that Ethan asked Meredith and the others to drive the spaceship back to Earth, not to destroy the Earth? After all, this spaceship is filled with piles of terrifying weapons. As long as Ethan spreads them out anywhere, I am afraid that the whole crew will die before they reach the earth, and they will bring death to the earth by the way.

The most normal-minded person in this team is this woman. If it was replaced by that group of scientists, they would have agreed to exchange the spaceship happily.

"I can wait for you to conduct detailed inspections yourself to ensure safety before completing this transaction."

Ethan pointed down.

"In addition, if you don't believe my work results, you can also choose a spaceship that I haven't been to before, and then empty out the dangerous things by yourself."

No matter whether the other party can do it more cleanly and thoroughly than Ethan, doing it yourself will always be easier to make people feel at ease than outsiders.

So Meredith felt that this proposal was reasonable, but was surprised that there was more than one alien spaceship here, so it was no wonder that Ethan was willing to exchange one.

"As for the piloting of the spaceship, I'm afraid it's up to you to figure it out on your own."

If David hadn't died, the droid would have been a good pilot, having learned the language of the engineers and figured out how the ship worked in no time.

However, the IQs of Meredith's scientists are guaranteed. Give them a period of time to fully understand the ship. It may be difficult, but it is not a difficult task to drive back to Earth.

Speaking of this, the two parties have reached an agreement, but the deal cannot be completed immediately after the negotiation.

The people under Meredith need to clean up a spaceship by themselves. Even after cleaning up, they still need to transfer the supplies on the Prometheus, especially some equipment related to life.

As for those against the deal? Only Ganek felt a little worried about piloting an unfamiliar spaceship for an interstellar voyage, but he didn't have any strong objections, after all, they all understood what this transaction meant.

More importantly, everyone, including Captain Ganek, hopes to return to Earth sooner.
