Chapter 691 Instability and Quantification

AT THE VAST EMPTINESS OF s.p.a.cE.

SPECIFICALLY, THE OUTER s.p.a.cE NEAR THE WORLD THAT ALINA IS IN.

With her ability related to s.p.a.ce and its emptiness, Alina usually uses her power to observe the outer s.p.a.ce, especially the vacuum surrounding her current world. She observes the structures that pa.s.ses by through the outer s.p.a.ce, and all the beautiful objects that could be seen there.

She also vigilantly looks out for danger, as someone could possibly come attacking from the outer s.p.a.ce

"…."

This spatial observation is her daily habit, but today, Alina did not exactly follow this routine.

"…"

Because she's currently busy dealing with her enemies, Alina had duly ignored the outer s.p.a.ce for now.

Observing the outer s.p.a.ce right now will just be a waste of Alina's energy, so she had decided to just conserve all of her power.

Her energy will be better used against her enemies and foes, as this is her real problem as of now.

Since there is a low chance that somebody was actually flying through the outer s.p.a.ce right now, Alina was confident that she made the right decision.

But this was where Alina was wrong

Because a few million kilometers away from the planet that she's in, a sleek-looking s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p had made its appearance, and by the speed that its going, it is bound to arrive at Alina's world in a few minutes….

**************

INSIDE THE ALPHA STRIKE s.p.a.cEs.h.i.+P.

The said sleek-looking s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p appeared to not slow down at all, and it did not even stop as it got closer and closer to the planet.

Whatever obstacles appeared near the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p were either ignored by the s.h.i.+p or blasted to pieces. Rocks that threatened to crush the s.h.i.+p's body were peppered with lasers, while nefarious spatial beings were sliced into dead pieces.

This brutal and forceful clearing of the obstacles helped create a stable pathway for the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, one which actually became a great benefit to it.

With its path free from any obstructions and danger, this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p gained a great increase in its speed, with its thrusters and boosters now activated in full throttle.

"Woos.h.!.+"

The full boost coming from its parts helped the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to reach its peak speed in just a matter of seconds, a feat that further shortened the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's arrival time towards Alina's planet.

By this point in time, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was only halfway towards its destination, and it will just take a few more moments before it actually lands.

"….."

The shortening of this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's arrival time was obviously good, however, there was one problem about it.

Because the s.h.i.+p was moving in an erratic manner, it is hard for any observer to estimate the speed and the possible arrival time of this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

The materials making the up s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p appeared to have the capability to defy the laws of physics, a property that makes it near impossible to currently quantify the s.h.i.+p's properties.

One moment and the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p looked slow, and the next, the s.h.i.+p had already disappeared from a person's sight. One moment and the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p looked like it was close to melting, and the next, the s.h.i.+p seemed to be as sharp as a diamond.

These changes in its properties certainly made the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p look extremely malleable and useful against all sorts of problems, but it also magnified the difficulty of observing it.

n.o.body observing the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p from the outside has the capability to easily quantify the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, and their measurements will always have something wrong in them.

The only ones who had an idea about this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's condition were its pa.s.sengers and drivers alone, and their measurements are the only ones that will be consistent for all the time.

"…"

*********************

In normal situations, the notion of having an unmeasurable s.h.i.+p is obviously bad, since measurements are important to ensure the safe landing of the s.h.i.+p along with its pa.s.sengers.

Without the knowledge about a s.h.i.+p's speed or its time of arrival, those who are a.s.signed to receive the landing s.h.i.+ps are destined to mess up the landing schemes.

These mess-ups usually lead to accidents with injuries, and sometimes even death if things get worse.

This problem about instabilty was prominent in all of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps that travel today, and those that do not follow the rigid laws of physics suffer the most.

As such, most s.h.i.+ps usually have to follow the protocol on how they should be built, as the ones built the wrong way will always end up as the failures.

***************

Speaking of failures, the sleek s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that is soaring towards ALina's planet right now can be said to be a failure of the highest grade.

This sleek s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's body was unstable and hard to measure, and none of its outside parameters can be measured, especially right now that it had reached its peak speed.

These vulgar qualities did nothing but put the sleek s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p in grave peril, and unless something was done to adjust it, this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is doomed to get destroyed in an ugly way.

"…."

This kind of harrowing ending for this sleek s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p will obviously be haunting to many, especially to its pa.s.sengers right now.

This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's pa.s.sengers must have been trembling with fear at this point, and maybe they are hoping to have a miracle and find someone that will help them out.

Maybe this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's pa.s.sengers are also crying out for help already, and they are just waiting for their salvation.

***************

But if one were to look inside this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p right now and observe the pa.s.sengers, the expected fear on the pa.s.senger's faces will not be seen here

Instead, the pa.s.sengers were visibly calm amidst the turbulent movement of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, and they seem to have no problem with what was happening around them.

The pa.s.sengers were even talking to themselves leisurely, as if they were treating the whole thing like it was normal.

What was more surprising about the pa.s.sengers' att.i.tudes however were their ident.i.ties, as it turns out that there are only two pa.s.sengers inside this sleek s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

These two pa.s.sengers were no other than Wisteria and Astria, who had both been travelling using this s.h.i.+p since 3 days ago.

[WISTERIA]: Hmm… so the ETA(Estimated Time of Arrival) to the target planet is in 3 Minutes. That is enough time for us to prepare, although the existence of an energy field covering the whole planet might force us to adjust a little.

[ASTRIA]: An energy field is covering the target planet? How problematic…

[WISTERIA]: Its problematic indeed. This energy field will make it hard for us to come, and the residents on this planet might even detect our arrival…. Tsk, do you have any way to breach this field easily, Astria?

[ASTRIA]: Don't ask me Wisteria. You're the Cosmic Guard here, so you should be the one with the solution, right?

[WISTERIA]: …

Just hearing their words alone were enough to show how lackadaisical they were about the whole situation, and it was made more obvious as they continued to talk.
