Chapter 184: The Giant Egg
If an alien spaceship was found on Raymond’s Island, then the alien matter would be exposed immediately.
However, Chekov didn’t care about Raymond.
All that mattered was that he did not commit treason himself, accidentally or otherwise.
After destroying the information, Chekov returned to his desk.
He turned on his computer and opened Raymond’s live broadcast room.
Raymond had already reached the coastline.
The coastline of the island was very long.
However, there were no beaches here. The coast was full of gravel and stones.
In some places, there were signs of reclamation.
The lights of the cars shone on the sea. White waves rose like white jasmine.
In a short while, the Gundam had already arrived at the coastline.
The cargo ship in the distance was also slowly approaching.
Before, when Raymond left the island, he had found an aircraft carrier.
However, the aircraft carrier had taken time to arrive.
The aircraft carrier would most probably arrive at the island tomorrow morning.
“Tuesday, do you have a plan?”
Raymond’s words were meant for the audience.
After all, Alice could drive the droplets back on her own.
“I have a plan! First, Riven will probe the specific location of the spaceship and test whether the spaceship has any defensive weapons. If the conditions are up to standard, we will start the salvage immediately.”
“Alright, do as you see fit!”
Raymond sat on the front passenger seat of the car and watched Riven slowly drive the Gundam into the sea.
Raymond had never actually built the Gundam with underwater missions in mind.
But the nature of his design just happened to be completely waterproof.
If anything, its core components and power source were all contained within airtight compartments.
The rest of it could handle getting wet.
As for Riven’s server.
It was the most well-protected.
Unless the water pressure was within a certain range, it wouldn’t cause any harm to the Gundam.
Riven slowly entered the water.
The audience watching the live broadcast also became nervous.
[I’m looking forward to it, but I’m afraid.]
[Tuesday has to be wrong. There won’t be any aliens on Earth!]
[If there really is an alien spaceship, I’ll broadcast my shit-eating live!]
[I don’t care if there are aliens or not, I’ll remember you — you crybaby.]
[Do you think the alien spaceship found by Tuesday looks like a UFO?!]
[UFO? That thing doesn’t seem scientific! After all, in space, there is no need to consider the air resistance, and the shape of the UFO is obviously a waste of materials!]
[Do you play EVE online? The spaceships there are actually more scientific!]
[I can’t sleep anyway! Sigh, do I still have to work tomorrow?!]
[Work? We’re talking about alien spaceships and you still want to go to work, set your priorities straight!]
[Thunder God, you owe me some good sleep!]
[He looks so calm, as if he’s not even eager to find out what that is.]
If Raymond had never seen a water droplet before…
And if Tuesday had truly discovered an alien spaceship, Raymond would naturally look forward to it.
However, Raymond did not think about these details carefully, so he could not be bothered to put on an act for his audience.
He just quietly looked at the surface of the churning waves.
Even when Riven would be able to drag the droplet up, she had a certain amount of anticipation.
After all, he was the one who had come up with the plan.
If everyone was to accept the fact that a meteor was about to destroy the planet…
Everyone had to see something they had never seen before.
The droplet was a good start.
If they could accept the existence of aliens, the end of the world would be easier to accept.
Although, it would certainly cause a great deal of panic.
But, everyone had the right to know the truth.
And Raymond was just making it easy for them to accept.
Of course, Raymond had other considerations about this matter.
For example, Angelo’s recruitment drive.
If they had Raymond’s endorsement, he would find candidates much easier.
The impatient Riven soon poked her capable Gundam’s head from beneath the surface of the sea.
At the same time, Riven’s voice came from the robot beside Raymond.
“Master, I’ve dragged the spaceship up!” Riven’s tone was very excited. “Tuesday, come and help. This thing is extremely heavy!”
There was a buoyancy factor in the water, so Riven was able to drag the huge droplet up.
Once it surfaced, it would be several times heavier.
Raymond’s Gundam was powerful, but it was still not enough to pull the water droplet.
Although Riven had gone off-script, Raymond did not say anything.
As long as it was a reasonable derivation, he did not mind.
The droplet slowly surfaced.
The chatroom immediately exploded.
[No way! No way! Is that really an alien spaceship?]
[It looks like an egg!]
[It doesn’t make sense! How did the aliens make such a sleek spacecraft?]
[What’s wrong with being smooth? What if their air is as thick as our water?]
[I don’t believe in alien spaceships, they could be from World War II!]
[I can tell you for sure that I was part of the search team near the island. If there was anything from World War II, we would have picked it up long ago!]
[Well, what if it crashlanded after WWII?]
[If there are aliens on this ship, they’re all gonna get vaporized. Hurry, Raymond is in danger!]
[Riven is so reckless. I hate her! Tuesday knows what’s best for Thunder God!]
[If it were me, I would have unplugged Riven!]
[Don’t jump to conclusions. She’s the younger AI. What if it’s not an alien spaceship?]
[It’s not impossible for it to be some earlier, wonky attempt at making spacecraft.]
[That Gundam isn’t weak. Must be really heavy.]
The chatter was growing unbearable.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room of Jelly Media, Caroline was also surrounded by questions.
[Carol, carol, look at this little thing. Can you analyze it?]
[Madam Carol, if there really are aliens, how should I deal with them?]
[Hahaha! She’s wrong again. That is obviously an alien spaceship!]
[If aliens really attack, does Earth have a chance of winning?]
[Madam Carol, I feel like the end of the world is coming. Do you have any suggestions?]
[Wahahaha, the end of the world is coming. I want to do whatever I want. I want to do all the things that I didn’t dare to do before. For example: Make my father call me daddy!]
