In the boundless expanse of the universe, the Earth is but a speck of dust. Within the vast starry sky, countless stars represent unknown worlds, each filled with endless possibilities.
Light speed, considered the fastest velocity in the universe, allows for a travel distance of around 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Yet, even at this astonishing speed, traversing the vast universe is an almost impossible task. Light from the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, takes over four years to reach Earth. And this is just a corner of the universe; the Milky Way alone contains over two hundred billion stars, and the Milky Way is just one of countless galaxies.
Humanity dreams of colonizing the stars, but in the face of this vast universe, even at light speed, this dream seems so distant. The scale of the universe exceeds human imagination; its unknowns render human exploration incredibly minuscule.
However, this does not mean the dream is shattered. Human scientists accidentally discovered that the space humans inhabit is akin to a glass cup filled with water—the droplets trickling down its side represent the light speed limit that humans cannot touch. Humanity is confined within this glass cup, observing the world outside, yet unable to touch it.
But within this seemingly closed glass cup, exists a secret passage—a mysterious channel connecting to another universe: a black hole. When humans gather enough power in space to form a powerful force field, strong enough that even light cannot escape, they can open the door to this channel.
Human scientists, using this mysterious channel, created a new way of cosmic travel. They use a cycle of positive and negative energy, like polishing a gem, to continuously enhance the energy of the spacecraft until it shines like a star. When the spacecraft's energy reaches its limit, it becomes the key to opening this door, creating an instantaneous miniature black hole.
The spaceship travels through this miniature black hole, entering antimatter space, a mysterious realm where the bindings of light speed do not apply. In this realm, the spaceship is no longer bound by speed; it can freely soar like a liberated bird, without fearing any obstacles, immeasurably shortening space travel time.
During superluminal flight in subspace, everyone must retreat into life-support boxes, entering a hibernation state, protected by the force field of the life-support boxes, known as cosmic sleep.
U3-173, a combat spaceship, is currently entering the preparation program for subspace flight, gradually speeding up, increasing energy, and its reaction core continuously accumulating power.

All personnel are at their posts, operating their precise instruments and equipment.
In the medical laboratory in the middle of the spaceship, a mysterious person captured from an ancient planet is carefully placed in front of a complex detection device. He is a very strong, brave, and rugged male human, with coarse dark skin. His lack of hair and eyebrows makes him stand out. His arms and neck are locked with metal hoops as thick as a child's arm.
Scientists surround him carefully, their eyes fixed on the jumping data on the instrument, their faces full of tension and anticipation. Their hands move quickly over the control panel, constantly adjusting parameters to gather more information.
The results of the EKG, EEG, and heartbeat tests all show data similar to ordinary humans. This leaves Major Maria Hernandez and Brigadier General Samuel White puzzled. They cannot understand how this man can maintain such a stable physiological state in such a harsh environment.
However, when they turn on the life field scanner, the data on the instrument immediately jumps wildly. The number far exceeds their understanding and even exceeds the maximum limit of the instrument. His life field is so powerful that it is immeasurable, as if he is a small power source containing endless energy.
This discovery makes Maria Hernandez and Samuel White nervous and excited. The existence of this man challenges their understanding of life. Major Maria Hernandez takes a breath and says, "If it weren't for the life field scan telling us he has a life energy thousands of times stronger than ordinary people, I wouldn't believe he is a superhuman."
Brigadier General Samuel White returns his gaze to the naked body of the man from the White Goose Star. He has a very distinctive face—if he grew hair and eyebrows and had a pair of attractive eyes, he would be a very attractive man.
Brigadier General Samuel White asked, "Why is there such a big difference between the life field scanner and other detections?"
Major Maria Hernandez replied, "There is a possibility that his body values exceed the range of our detection equipment."
"Our ship's instruments can only check results within a certain range. If his nerve activity is as fast as light speed, or if his metabolic activity is slower than the lower limit of the check, these instruments will produce erroneous data."
Brigadier General Samuel White asked, "Do you think the actual situation is really like this?"
Major Maria Hernandez's eyes shone as she said, "The mere fact that this man can exist in a place completely inhospitable to any form of life is already unbelievable. If a few more inconceivable things happened, who's to say they aren't possible?"
Full of anticipation, Major Maria Hernandez asked Brigadier General Samuel White, "Can we, after he wakes up, connect his head to a language learning device to teach him our language?"
"Even if he wakes up, we cannot do anything to him. This is a strict order from Major General Susan!" Brigadier General Samuel White's voice interrupted her imagination. His voice was filled with warning, for he knew that the importance of this mysterious man far exceeded everything else on this spaceship.
