28. Targeted ruins

TN: Now I feel that I should have use planet not star in the title of the novel. But planet feels lame and awkward to use. So it is better to use star. Anyway let just use anime logic or novel logic or something and just say it is a star that have characteristic of a planet!!

I jumped at the entrance of the cave.

I could have jumped directly into the cave, but first I wanted to see the spaceship.

In any case, the space ship that I saw for the first time was under repair, and it was also in a state that it was buried in the field. So I would like to see the spaceship after all.





And there was a space ship on which Prokame came aboard.

There was a ....... spaceship

"Oh so this is it! ooohhh ............"

The spaceship has a shape of a fish bowl.

The hatch of the fishbowl-shaped spaceship opens, and a large and small turtles comes down.

The turtles which puts their baggage on their shell, and walks over with small steps is very surrealism.

"Put the luggage on the back of the parent turtle, put the luggage on the back of the small turtle ......."

I want to sing something.

A line of turtles passed in front of my eyes. A small turtle carries luggage in a unrelenting manner is a little sprout.

Did it have a reptilian attributes?

No, the time has come to wake up to a new hobby!





"Oh, you finally arrived!"

Prokame-san appears. However the reptilian attributes tsukkomi did not come in, I was a little upset.

"Why is the spaceship a goldfish bowl?"

After being pleased with the reunion, I was interested so I asked him straight.

"Hmm ... ... It might be alike, it is our ship.

The bottom of the water settles from the time it was primitive. It is designed to fly in space by adopting."
The color was painted on was frosted blue, but the feeling I saw was a fish bowl itself. The upper wave is well expressed.

"Well, I feels like I saw the darkness of the universe, but I do not mind.
So what happened to the investigation? "

"Ok, As expected, after reading in the spaceship database.
Three similar ruins have been found about 25,000 years ago to 20,000 years ago.
I know that both are on an unmanned planet and have not evolved with that star, but they have not been further investigated."

"You have not further investigated...... Is it a valuable ruin?"

"No, it is the owner of the star that everyone discovered is doing a simple investigation with private property, so it is registered in the database, but the three found ruins discovered do not exist.
No, I should say that the planet itself does not exist."

"... ... Does it have anything to do with it?"

It reminds me of this and that which you can get involved if you are with Leader.

"Yes. There is a conclusion that the planet has been moved and thrust into and became a star because of the absence of the gravity anomaly that occurs when the planet is destroyed and the asteroid zone that can be formed by the star's fragments."

It is atrocious move in some way.

"If that is the case, knowing this star will be aimed at me, right?"

"Yes, so we're going to decide not to register the database for a while, since fortunately it is enough to be on a ship's database, we have access to a database that accumulates a larger, universe-wide event"(TN: Meaning they won't register the ruins so they won't get targeted like the last ruins)

"That is why this ruin is dangerous, right?"

There may be some invisible enemies with an appearance of an advanced civilization. Quite thrilling.

"It is hard to understand. The composition of the ruins is only the soil that solidified with mucus. It was also sampled here.
Metal etc which was hardly processed inside the ruins are not used, only after having been took away all.
I do not know what is dangerous and what is worth it but it is obvious that there no more remaining of it."

"Is it hidden somewhere?"

"I have an equipment that scan for gaps, but there is no reaction.
I tried to apply an ion to the reflector, but I could not find a trace that would lead outside of this ruin. "

"You do not understand anything after all."

"From the conclusion it is true that there are some things I have understand, but there are things that I can not affirm, I will try to investigate a little bit more, should I talk about the three ruins I found before?"

"Oh, that's right, I would like to hear it."





"I looked at the images left in the database, but I confirm that there no doubt that it is the same as here.
There are also some discoveries that are not here, first the seed of an plant has been found. I do not know whether it is for food or for decoration.
It might have been something they use it for because it was preserved.
This was in the star that disappeared after 10,000 years ago when a supernova explosion was generated from the star map and it was found. This proved that the ruins existed more than 10,000 years ago from discovery."

"It's pretty old, right?"

"Yes ...... Also there is one more thing I understood ...... No, should it be said that I did not understand it?"

"…………?"

"Do you know the black hole star system?"

".........eh?"

"In the case of the solar system, there is a huge black hole that corresponds to the sun, and around it there are big and small black holes running around like a planet.
In other words, you should think that the solar system is all made of black holes."

"I understand what you say ...... but ..... it is beyond imagination."

"Even the smallest black hole is larger than the end of the solar system, and the range of influence of gravity is tens of thousands of times the size of the black hole.
Because it is near the center of the universe, the awareness is high, but no one will come near."

"Ahh. It as you say"

"So, there was documentation on it.
Oh, it is famous and there is no species that I have never studied so there is no need to worry, but it should be kept in mind as a material that was originally left to the ruins where various remains are originally scattered."

"By the way can you make a black hole?"

"I can"

"You can!?"

"What surprised you, you can easily make it.
Techniques for making stable black holes are established.
If it fails it will disappear or the civilization will perish. "

It became dangerous again. By the way, the goat merchant said that there was a race whose civilization was destroyed by advancing science and technology.

"That does not mean that I was researching making black holes."(Minoru)

"Yeah, maybe there was something else going on.
Rather than that, I'm rather concern of the 3 ruins that was aimed at."

"What is it by accident?"

“Immediately after the ruins is discovered in the unmanned planet, every planet have an incident which it disappears, and also the timing of the three cases was same for some reason, what do you think about that?”

"Nerawaretemasune" 
(TN: Written in Katakana so I leave it as that but if read as hiragana then it mean "It been aimed" or something like that)

Are you serious. It is dangerous. But is too late now!

"I do not want to die either, and so the investigation is top secret, I think that I will try to inspect the ruins in detail as much as possible."

"Okay thank you for that."

I cannot help but lower my head.

TN: For quick explanation on this chapter about the ruins because I am not confident on how I translate this. This chapter just explain that there is also 3 similar ruins found in 3 different planet. But it was destroy after it was found. Meaning the ruins is being targeted by some unknown species. So they will not record the ruins in the database because it might also be targeted.
