Chapter 1816 The Return Spaceship from Jupiter

After a period of rest, everyone at UGM recovered.

This is sufficient to prove that the previous vomiting was due to the negative effects of spatial jump on the body, and that it can be alleviated or completely eliminated through adaptation.

In addition, it was confirmed that Gu Chen and the others did not carry any deadly pathogens, so they were released from quarantine as soon as the observation period ended.

However, because the disinfection work on the spacecraft Mami was not yet completed, Gu Chen and the others stayed at the lunar base for the time being.

Of course, if there is an emergency, you can also take the lunar base's lunar-to-Earth shuttle back to Earth.

However, since it was a rare occasion for Kazuki Oyama and the others to visit the lunar base, and Jiro Sakata was also very interested in the Moon Clan, Gu Chen decided to stay at the lunar base until the disinfection work of the spaceship Mami was completely finished before returning to Earth.

No one objected to this, and Yoichi Kaji even went directly to Dr. Dodor to discuss matters related to the alternate dimension.

Meanwhile, Shirato Jun and Aoshima Ichiro went to catch up with Caroline.

As for Gu Chen, he was approached by Kishida Fumio.

Therefore, almost all work-related matters were handled by Daiyama Kazuki alone.

After that, the video footage of the other dimension was also transmitted to the UMG headquarters by Yoichi Kaji and quickly spread throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

Upon learning that a country called the Land of the Dead existed in another dimension, those countries with related myths and legends were quite surprised.

Furthermore, the subsequent research report on the human body in the Land of the Dead provided by Yoichi Kaji shocked the entire Asia-Pacific region.

According to his research report, the physical composition of the people in the Land of the Dead is completely different from that of humans in the real world. Although there is no difference in outward appearance, the inhabitants of the Land of the Dead are made of a substance that cannot be detected by current human technology.

Based on the legends of the Land of the Dead and the oral accounts of the locals, Yoichi Kaji was certain that the unknown substance was very likely the substance that constituted the soul.

This seems to further prove that humans do indeed have souls.

However, whether consciousness is equivalent to the soul requires further research.

However, given the current situation, Earth clearly does not yet possess the capability for in-depth research.

However, just knowing this news is enough to cause a great sensation in the scientific community.

If the news spreads further among the general public, and governments do not provide guidance, it could have some negative consequences.

Some feudal superstitions that should have been discarded as dross may be resurrected and then exploited by those with ulterior motives to cause loss of life and property to others.

Therefore, these messages were basically kept under wraps by the upper echelons and were not allowed to spread until the opportune moment arrived.

In addition, what countries are paying more attention to is the space jump engine used by the spacecraft Mami.

After all, this represents whether a civilization can step into the interstellar stage with one foot in the other. As long as we can fully master and understand the technology related to the warp drive, human technology will experience an explosive development.

Unfortunately, the technology required for the warp drive is several levels higher than current human technology, but exactly how many levels are required is currently unknown.

After all, we can't just remove the warp drive without being sure of its safety, can we?

If you find that you can't gain any useful knowledge after taking it apart, and you can't put it back together, then the loss would be too great.

Furthermore, the warp drive is essentially Gu Chen's private property, and any country that wants to use it must obtain Gu Chen's approval.

But as of now, no country has the audacity to try to force Gu Chen to agree through moral blackmail.

Inside UGM, Emi Shirono also learned from Kazuki Oyama and others that there was someone in the Land of the Dead who looked exactly like her, and that she was the princess of the Land of the Dead.

Upon learning this news, Shirono Emi was shocked. Then, after seeing the photo of the princess of the Land of the Dead and the video taken by the helmets of the UGM members, she was speechless with astonishment.

At the same time, she also regretted not being able to participate in this operation.

Otherwise, it would be quite interesting for two people who look exactly alike to meet, and it would be a very novel experience for them.

If she could, Shirono Emi really wanted to meet the princess of the Land of the Dead, talk to her, and learn about her character.

Who knows, the two of them might even become friends.

Unfortunately, according to Dr. Dodor's observations and research, the spaceship Mami can no longer return to the Land of the Dead via the warp drive. After all, the positioning logic of spatial coordinates is based on the real space of the universe and stars, and the same coordinate system cannot be used for other dimensions.

Therefore, even if the UGM members recorded the spatial coordinates of the Land of the Dead, they might arrive in a completely unfamiliar star system after jumping there.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous move. Unless the interdimensional portal to the Land of the Dead is reopened, Emi Shirono's idea of ​​befriending the princess will remain just a dream.

And so, time flowed forward steadily.

After spending some time at the lunar base, the spacecraft Mami finally completed its disinfection work.

Gu Chen and the others prepared to bid farewell to everyone at the lunar base and return to Earth.

However, at that very moment, a spacecraft from the Jupiter space station was also returning to Earth and had already reached the vicinity of the moon's orbit.

According to regulations, all spacecraft returning from overseas must undergo disinfection at the lunar base's spaceport before they can continue their journey back to Earth.

This is also to prevent the spaceship from bringing some strange things back to Earth.

Although the spacecraft would experience intense friction with the atmosphere and generate high temperatures upon landing, all countries ultimately agreed to go through this procedure just in case, since it's always better to be safe than sorry.

So the spacecraft from the Jupiter space station began its slow descent at the lunar base's spaceport, following the established procedure, and began docking.

This scene was witnessed by Gu Chen and the others who were about to leave.

Seeing this, Gu Chen casually pulled over a port area worker and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of spaceship is that?"

The staff member was startled when Gu Chen suddenly called out to him. After realizing that it was Gu Chen speaking to him, he excitedly replied, "Commander Gu Chen, that's a spaceship from the Jupiter Space Station. Dr. Aoyama, who won the Nobel Prize in Biology for his work in astrobiology, has completed his three-year research project and is returning on this spaceship."
