Translator: Lonelytree, _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Lucas

Encountering a nebula in space is not so that is particularly rare At least, it isa neutron star or a supernova

A nebula is a diffusive matter that spreads over atheht years of distance To put that into perspective, a ray of sunlight needs almost nine hours to travel froy, would take nine years to travel from Earth to Pluto, and that is if the party doesn’t perish in the perilous journey!

When one considers that a light-year is equivalent to the distance light travels in a year, or 95 trillion kiloht-years in size is …

It is simply impossible for man to travel across such a distance The journey would take about one hundred thousand years, a nue of huiven the news that the Hope was stuck in the middle of a nebula, his expression instantly di the nebula was, the s the Hope out of that alone would be a task bordering on the iy couldn’t support another space warp They only had enough energy left to keep the Hope running at its optis for another 25 days… Even if they turned off all the unnecessary electrical syste out of the nebula would be inconceivable

At the end of the day, no y, the Hope would retain at most 30 more days of nor lorified space coffin!

To leave the nebula in under 30 days… that was truly a fool’s drea this nebula is?" Yao Yuan sighed resignedly

The scientists were at a loss Only Alan came forth to answer "Major, no, we haven’t, and we couldn’t even if anted to… With our current technology, we can’t tell you exactly how big this nebula is Major, you have to understand that everything we currently know about nebulas is speculation We could try to calculate the distance based on known hypotheses and foruarantee

"Also, this nebula is covered in a layer of static charge This blue sheen we are witnessing is evidence of that This is another hindrance because we don’t have the technology to analyze static charges Furthermore, our telescope can’t see past this static layer to analyze the nebula’s innerthis nebula is, nor how far we are froht to the forefront with Alan’s frank words Suffocated by despair, the room went silent

Even Yao Yuan could onlythe silence, a young ht have one last hope left…"

Everyone in the rooistered in Yao Yuan’s ured out that the alien plant species would not have been iainst Earth’s plant virus

Yao Yuan said, "I remember you It is thanks to your brilliant hypothesis that we had a fighting chance at escaping Planet Sahara Tellman, who appeared to have an Arabian and European , "My name is Ivan Mohammed bin Rashad… My friend usually calls me Ivan You can call me that too, sir"

"It is nice to make your acquaintance, Ivan You’ve ed Yao Yuan

Ivan was obviously stressed out by the weight of all the attention Even though he had been recently promoted from a temporary intern to an official ht-eyed teen in his early twenties To know that the lives of 120000 people hinged on his hypothesis was a big pressure to bear

He took so the to do with the nebula because that is not et out it and the Hope y to help us accoue was palpable in the room At thattwo fateful words,

"Energy crystal!"
