The only middle-aged white man among the four immediately joined the conversation, shrugging with an indifferent expression.

But the focal point of everyone's attention, the white female scientist Jessica, seemed unaffected by the words of others, still filled with an implicit passion and anticipation, and immediately replied:

"Everyone rest assured, the intelligence we received this time is very detailed. According to data model analysis, there's a 93.84% chance that our exploration target is a remnant of an alien civilization, and it is very unlikely to disappoint us."

"Such a high probability that it's something from aliens? Looks like the intensity of this mission just went up."

Sitting in the seat next to the four, Wang Zhifan frowned as soon as he heard this, silently pondering in his heart.

As a security personnel, he actually preferred that the exploration team didn't make a big discovery and only encountered human-made objects, because no matter how dangerous human creations are, they are within their understanding. But alien creations are different, he might not be able to even comprehend their attack modes, the uncertainty is huge.

The group had a light discussion for ten minutes and then felt their spaceship begin a continuous deceleration, which made their spacesuited bodies lean forward, feeling the constant pull of the seatbelts.

This deceleration process also lasted about ten minutes until at some point they heard the spaceship pilot's notification that they had reached the location.

"All crew members! The spaceship has reached within 200 meters of the target, please put on your helmets, unbuckle your seatbelts, and open the right-side hatch for exploration! Please maintain communication with the spaceship during the exploration! We will provide support if necessary!"

From the pilot's report, it is clear that they are not merely transport drivers, but also bear the responsibility of communication and support, serving as a logistical support force for the exploration team, whereas Wang Zhifan's security team is on the front line, with a very clear division of labor.

The spaceship's passenger cabin, including the clone soldiers, began to act in an orderly manner. They first closed the visors of their helmet, sealed off their bodies, then adjusted the local communication network to ensure smooth communication, and then unbuckled their seatbelts with Wang Zhifan's security team taking the lead to exit the spacecraft.

When Wang Zhifan unbuckled the seatbelt that restrained him, he found his whole body suddenly becoming weightless, experiencing a feeling that was quite peculiar, yet still manageable for him who had cultivated the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill.

He then moved to the right hatch using hooks installed along the passenger cabin's walls. When he opened the hatch, the scene outside left him awestruck.

In the starlit yet dark cosmic background, illuminated by the spaceship's spotlight, a gray, elongated "megalith" hundreds of meters long and over ten meters in diameter, broken into three segments, floated silently in the darkness. It looked very much like a slender meteorite, but at first glance, it seemed unlikely to be a natural product, as its entire outline was too regular, seemingly meticulously polished by someone, and then broken apart for some reason, forming this tragic appearance.

"Oh my God! Look at its streamlined shell! Its mysterious and unique configuration! I dare say this is definitely not a product of our human empire! We have finally encountered alien relics!"

As Wang Zhifan and his four clone subordinates activated the non-propellant miniature electric propulsion on their spacesuits and left the hatch, they heard the exclamation of Jessica, their team leader, in their helmets. She spoke as if realizing a long-held wish, her voice full of excitement, following Wang Zhifan and others as they leaped out of the hatch.

"So exciting! I wonder what kind of progress this discovery will bring to our human technology?"

The middle-aged white scientist was equally thrilled, looking ahead at the gray structure that delivered a significant visual impact, already imagining the harvest from this trip.

"Slow down everyone! Let our security team scout the route to ensure safety before following up!"

Seeing these researchers all excitedly, Wang Zhifan quickly reminded over the local communication network.

He then arranged for the four clone soldiers to activate the electric propellers on their spacesuits, move ahead of him to pave the way for everyone, while he closely followed and observed the target ahead, relying on his exceptional perception to probe for any lurking dangers.

"There doesn't seem to be any dangerous feeling... The inside of that thing is mostly empty, with no signs of life, but there are many cold creations that seem to belong to an intelligent civilization, possibly an abandoned alien spaceship..."

Wang Zhifan, who has always been extremely cautious about personal safety, thoroughly explored the situation ahead before increasing the electric propulsion power and steadily advancing.

"Mr. Wang! The exterior of the target is very simple! I suggest we explore the interior first!"

The sound of the excited Jessica came again through the communication network, having also realized that this creation resembled a spaceship and eager to see inside as quickly as possible.

"Alright, stay behind us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhifan instructed his team to adjust direction and cautiously entered a broken segment of the target.

During the advance, as the nearby spaceship's auxiliary lighting failed to illuminate the entire area, Wang Zhifan's squad switched on their helmet lights to illuminate the path for the scientists following behind.

As they entered through the gigantic gray elongated object's broken mouth, they found an incomprehensible pile of "debris" illuminated by the lights. All were grayish without any bright colors, some stacked in various block shapes, and others consisting of long and short strips connected together, giving an overall impression that was both chaotic and orderly, a complex confusion.

"These are some kind of mechanical structures that have ceased functioning for a long time. You can approach and study them, but do not touch any switches or buttons if you encounter any."

Being the first to inspect these unknown objects, Wang Zhifan quickly ruled out their danger, as his perception was not merely decorative and its accuracy far exceeded that of most detection devices, unaffected by external interference.

"I feel like they resemble transistor structures, perhaps this is a computer control section."

The punk-style black girl in the spacesuit floated over for a glance and immediately commented.

"The detection device shows that the substance constituting them is an unknown alloy, but the main element includes iron... Decay detection indicates that they have existed for at least one hundred thousand years, confirming they are not a human product because, at that time, our ancestors couldn't even cross the oceans on Earth, let alone come to this deep space."

At this moment, Jessica, the team leader, had already taken out her professional instruments to conduct tests everywhere, showing considerable excitement on her face inside her helmet when the results appeared, as they had verified they truly arrived at an alien relic.

"We need to quickly gather all the data here and find one to three suitable samples to take back to the mothership for further research."

She then began to organize her team's specific tasks, putting several scientists into a busy state.

Wang Zhifan, having confirmed that no danger was present nearby, instructed the four clone soldiers to control the electric propulsion on their spacesuits and spread out, further exploring the conditions of this relic and using their bodies to rule out any potential traps.

This is a major advantage of clone soldiers; they were cultivated as consumables from the outset, with fixed loyalty, and very similar in all aspects to regular humans, making them ideal suicide reconnaissance units.

"Jessica! I found a box! It might contain precious information from an alien civilization!"

Before long, the young yellow-skinned scientist found a fist-sized gray square box among a pile of unrecognizable objects, undoubtedly a suitable candidate for a sample.
