575 Beyond the Speed of Light, Where Is the Alien Civilization?
When their assistants passed by, they were shocked by the sight. “Oh, my God, isn’t that Taclofini?”

“Impossible! Taclofini? Isn’t that the Nobel Prize laureate?”

“It’s definitely him! Besides, that’s Old Parker over there. I heard that he’s retired!”

“Old Parker? My former idol, why has he suddenly reappeared?”

“Forget Old Parker. Quick, look over there…Could that be…”

The assistants were dumbfounded because the world’s top physicists were all there.

More shockingly, these well-known figures were not even qualified to enter the command center. They could only stare at the door and corridor.

In that case, what kind of people were allowed to be in the command center’s innermost part and face the screens directly?

People dared not even imagine it. Famous physicists such as Old Parker, Taclofini, and other Nobel Prize laureates could only watch from the corridor.

In the command center, those who were qualified to stand before the screens consisted of Nobel Prize winners and people who had made great contributions to human society.

There were obvious differences between their achievements.

Some of their theories were novel and avant-garde; they had yet to be proven and could only bring hope.

Nevertheless, their theories were close to reality and close to changing the living environment of humans. Although it was impossible to directly rank these individuals, other scientists could clearly tell how great they were.

At this moment, Wu Mo stood in the middle of everyone. Being Operation Universal Action’s planner, he knew that he would shock the scientists of the world.

The world’s most famous scientists were there because they were about to witness whether the spaceship would surpass the speed of light.

Since the birth of modern science, the speed of light was like an insurmountable mountain before everyone.

What would happen if they could truly surpass the speed of light? This was a huge temptation for all scientists, especially physicists. It was a problem that left them unable to sleep and eat.

Now, this mystery was about to be revealed. Who could resist such a temptation? Wu Mo gave the order, and the astronauts immediately switched on the propulsion mode.

The spaceship’s speed began to increase slightly.

“Look, it’s getting faster!” The scientists only saw the changes in the data on the screen. The spaceship’s speed was increasing, and it was a rapid acceleration. It even went past several planets at a rapid speed.

The spaceship’s speed was indescribable. If it were not for anti-satellite detection technology, the artificial satellites in space would not have been able to capture its shadow.

“Look, its speed has increased again. It’s about to reach its limit!” another physicist could not help but exclaim.

With the propulsion of antimatter, the spaceship was now traveling close to the speed of sound.

“Look, it’s going beyond the speed of sound!” The data on the screen then showed that the spaceship had exceeded the speed of sound.

However, the speed of sound was just the beginning. They wanted to see it surpass the speed of light.

After it broke through the speed of sound, the spaceship did not show any signs of slowing down. Instead, it continued to accelerate at an astonishing speed.

“Its speed is too terrifying!” Everyone was in disbelief when they saw the scene. Even though the spaceship had not surpassed the speed of light yet, its current speed was enough to make them gasp in amazement.

In the next moment, there was an explosion of speed, and the spaceship disappeared from everyone’s sight. It was as if time and space were torn apart.

“This-This is impossible!”

Everyone on the scene cried out in surprise. Their eyes failed to keep up with the spaceship that had vanished.

They opened their eyes wide and tried to spot a faint light on the screen, but in the end, they gave up because there was no sign of the spaceship.

A scientific researcher snapped out of his daze. “The spaceship has probably turned into light.”

Turned into light? His statement caused a stir in the crowd, but Wu Mo understood what the researcher meant.

If such a massive object traveled faster than the speed of light, it probably turned into light itself.

This was because objects that surpassed the speed of light would definitely have the characteristics of light.
Once something was faster than light, it would be impossible to accurately capture it with the human eye.

The reason was, the spaceship had become an amalgamation of light particles to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the human eye was limited by its natural structure, so it was unable to analyze every particle from a beam of light.

However, it was worth noting that the astronauts and spaceship still existed.

They were just too fast. Since they had advanced to another level, it was impossible for others to see them.

Wu Mo found that they could still maintain contact with the spaceship.

“Astronauts, what do you see around you now? Over.”

Wu Mo asked the commander to immediately check on the astronauts, while the scientific community around the world was paying attention. They all wanted to know how the astronauts in the spaceship felt when they surpassed the speed of light for the first time.

After a moment of silence, there was still no response from the astronauts.

Wu Mo started to worry. He was afraid that something had happened to them.

Just as he became extremely anxious, one of the astronauts finally replied.

“Roger. I apologize, Chief. Sorry, researchers! We were so blown away that we forgot to respond!”

The entire command center fell silent. Everyone was caught off guard by the unexpected reason. Then, the originally tense atmosphere seemed to disappear in an instant. They did not know whether to laugh or cry at this unexpected reversal.

Soon after, the astronauts began to seriously describe their surroundings.

“The universe we see is more brilliant and magnificent than anyone can imagine. It appears to be endless and complex.

“There is an ocean of broken stars. If we collide with any of them at the speed of light, it might trigger a series of cosmic ray explosions! There’s also an old red dwarf star. The energy it contains is enough to induce fear.

“We’ve even found some green planets that likely nurture elementary life.”

His voice was filled with curiosity for the unknown and reverence for the universe.

However, he could not directly observe the current state of the world outside the spaceship.

“Chief, gentlemen, we have not found any suspicious planets or advanced alien civilizations. We need to continue exploring. Over.” The astronaut’s voice was firm and calm.

Wu Mo nodded silently. Thanks to the antimatter’s propulsion, he knew that they could keep traveling faster than the speed of light for a long time.

This spaceship might be able to carry the hope of humanity for a period of time as it wandered the universe and explored the unknown sea of stars.

He was not too worried. The antimatter had enough energy to drive the spaceship for a year or more.

They could go to Dark Star, or even more distant planets, such as Carlot, Tafaro, and other places that humans once thought were out of reach.

Wu Mo’s gaze fell on the screen, and his eyes filled with determination as the spaceship disappeared.
