Starships of All Realms Online

Chapter 1 Meteor, Starship Arrival

Nighttime, the evening news is broadcast.

"Our station reports that the Sagittarius meteor shower will pass over Earth at 22:10 tonight. According to experts, this meteor shower will not have any impact on Earth's ecological environment."

After reading the news on the sofa, Fang Heng turned off the TV.

"It's a pity it's a cloudy and rainy night, so we won't be able to see the meteor shower."

Although he couldn't see the meteor shower directly, Fang Heng wasn't disappointed. He wondered if the Red Star Galaxy, where Blue Star was located, had entered a region with a high density of meteors. In recent years, meteor showers had become more frequent, so he had long been used to such news.

Seeing that it was still early and he had nothing to do, Fang Heng started playing games.

"There doesn't seem to be anything fun to play. Let's play some old games instead."

After looking at the games he had downloaded, Fang Heng finally decided to replay Infinite Warfare.

As time passed, before we knew it, it was midnight.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud crash outside made Fang Heng jump, knocking over the water glass next to him and spilling it onto the computer case.

"Sizzle! Bang!"

With a crackling sound of electricity followed by a slight popping sound, Fang Heng's computer tower started emitting white smoke, indicating that it was beyond repair.

"Holy crap, my computer!"

Just as Fang Heng was feeling heartbroken, from an angle he couldn't see, a ball of light flew directly out of the computer host and instantly entered his mind.

After quickly shutting down the power, Fang Heng looked at the completely ruined computer and felt like crying.

"This cost me three thousand dollars, and now it's probably all ruined."

At this moment, Fang Heng thought of the loud noise just now, and felt a little angry. If it weren't for that loud noise, he wouldn't have accidentally knocked over the cup.

Arriving at the window, Fang Heng also wanted to see what was going on.

As the curtains were drawn back, the sight in the distance stunned him.

"Holy crap, what's going on? A terrorist attack?"

In the distance, the streets were ablaze with fire, making the area incredibly bright. A high-rise residential building, as if struck by something, had its upper half broken off and crashed onto a nearby building.

Fortunately, the building is densely packed, so the upper half of the building is now stuck and hasn't completely fallen to the ground.

Because of the distance and the lack of information, he simply took out his phone, opened the app, switched to local chat, and checked for new messages.

After refreshing the page a few times, a video quickly appeared.

After watching the video, Fang Heng also gasped in shock.

Now he knows what happened.

The loud noise earlier was actually caused by a meteorite impact. A huge meteorite fragment fell from the sky and smashed the residential building in half. At the same time, the fire was also caused by the meteorite impact.

In fact, it wasn't just his city; several nearby cities were also experiencing similar occurrences, with meteorite fragments falling on them.

Inside the space center, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the shattered meteorite.

"Immediately find out what happened to these meteorites and how they suddenly changed direction and fell into the atmosphere."

"Yes, sir."

This event was beyond everyone's expectations. The original prediction was that these asteroids would pass directly over Earth, then move away from Earth and eventually crash into the Sun.

But just now, some of these meteorites suddenly changed direction and fell towards Earth.

Another portion was captured by Earth's orbit, but because of its high speed, it flew towards the other side of the ocean.

"Sir, the calculations have been completed. This unusual meteorite impact has affected virtually all five major nations."

"Report the situation here immediately; something feels off."

The person in charge at the scene had a bad feeling as he looked at the area where the meteorite had fallen.

"How many of those that crashed here were intercepted?"

"A total of 20 fell here. 18 of them were shattered. The other two, because they were larger, were broken into several larger pieces and fell into the city."

"Immediately locate the landing point, dispatch troops to seal off the corresponding area, notify the entire army to enter Level 1 combat readiness, and depart immediately!"

"Yes, sir."

"Ugh!!!"

As the piercing alarm sounded in the camp, the vehicles, already fully prepared, immediately sped off towards the nearest meteorite impact point.

Meanwhile, inside the city's government offices, the phone kept ringing. In the command center, all the relevant high-ranking officials had arrived and were watching the on-site surveillance footage.

"Report to the commander-in-chief: the fire brigade and the garrison have all arrived at the scene and are dealing with the situation. However, according to the report from the chemical defense department, the radiation level at the scene is very high and poses a significant risk to human health. Currently, our team members can only operate on the perimeter."

"Haven't the chemical defense supplies arrived yet?"

"They're still on their way, but the roads are a bit congested due to the meteorite impact, so some of the chemical protective equipment has been escorted to the scene by motorcycle police and is expected to arrive in three minutes."

"Yes, mobilize all available resources to minimize losses. By the way, have you notified the nearby garrisons?"

"We've already been notified. They said they'll be there within ten minutes and we need to evacuate the surrounding residents first to prevent any potential dangers."

"Understood. Order the current team members to evacuate the crowd. Also, after the hazmat suits arrive at the scene, immediately organize an advance team to enter and search for survivors. Note that the team members should bring weapons."

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing the order from his superior, the communications officer also became serious.

Those who were able to enter this place were no ordinary people; everyone had anticipated the potential dangers, but now it seems the situation is even more dire.

Soon, as a group of motorcycle police arrived at the scene, the first batch of chemical protective suits were also in place.

"Comrades, our time to be tested has come! Advance team, put on your protective suits, take your rescue equipment and weapons, and set off!"

At the captain's command, all the advance team members quickly entered the disaster area.

The reporters outside broadcast all of this live, and Fang Heng also saw the situation on the scene through the official channel's live stream.

Seeing this, Fang Heng exclaimed, "As expected of the nation, their actions are swift. In such a short time, the first team has already arrived at the scene to provide disaster relief."

However, just as he was feeling sentimental, a wave of dizziness hit him, leaving him completely unable to resist and causing him to faint on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a circular halo appeared beneath him, and the next moment, with a flash of light, Fang Heng also disappeared.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Heng slowly woke up from his dizziness. The lingering dizziness made him feel uncomfortable, and it took him a while to see the situation clearly.

The room where I was standing had a very futuristic feel to it; the spot where I had just been lying was like a teleportation device in a sci-fi game.

"Where did this come from? Is it still in China?"

Following a barrage of sarcastic remarks reminiscent of Liu Haizhu, as if sensing Fang Heng's awakening, a door-like device on the wall opened, and a robot stepped out.

"Hello Mr. Fang Heng, are you experiencing any health problems?"

"I'm fine. Where am I? And who are you?"

"Hello Mr. Fang Heng, this is the SWC-141 Retribution warship. I am crew member Ethan."

"The Punishment? A space battleship?"

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, Fang Heng had only one thought in his mind: had his fantasy become reality?

How did I get here?

"According to the ship's log, although the Retribution crashed during the final battle, its warp drive underwent an unknown change, which teleported the Retribution here. We are now on the far side of the moon, and some new changes have also occurred inside the ship."

"Due to unknown changes, we have gained the ability to teleport over extremely long distances and were able to contact your consciousness immediately. According to the emergency management regulations of the Federation warships, after all natural humans have disappeared, the first natural human to be contacted will become the new captain and supreme commander."

"At the same time, we have also detected a large amount of high-energy reaction in the area where you are located, Commander. For your safety, I have activated the remote teleportation device to teleport you inside the warship."

"You can do it like that?"

After hearing Ethan's reply, Fang Heng felt his already dizzy head spin even more.

It took Fang Heng a long while to gradually come to his senses.

"Are there any restrictions on my sudden appointment as captain and commander?"

"No, but Commander, the Retribution has suffered excessive damage due to previous battles and the final crash. Many areas are damaged, and its current usable functions are limited."

"Which functions are still working properly?"

"Backup energy system, weapon and equipment printing device in the lower deck area, bridge control system and transmission system."

"That's it?"

"That's all. Oh, right, there's also a small life support system still functioning, but it can only support a portion of the area."

"What's the difference between this and scrapping it?"

"It's still different, Commander. At least the bridge area remains intact, and the data in the ship's systems has not been lost. We can also rebuild the Punisher by constructing production facilities."

"However, the only production equipment we currently possess is a metal 3D printer, which can only print weapons and equipment and cannot be used to build other facilities."

"Shouldn't there be other ways?"

"Some commanders, when I first arrived here, I also inspected the entire warship. The teleportation system has undergone an unknown change and now has the ability to teleport across time and space. After testing, it was found that the teleportation system has been modified by an unknown entity. This new ability is very stable, so we can use this to travel to other time and space to obtain production equipment, or you can purchase the corresponding production equipment in this time and space with money."
