Chapter 259 Going Two Ways?
"Proxima Centauri is unlike the sun. At least it won't have a helium flash, so we don't have to run out of energy."
"In the Proxima Centauri galaxy, there are not only solid planets suitable for survival, but also a gas giant planet. Even if Proxima Centauri burns out, we can still get an excellent opportunity for development."
"This is the first good news."
"As for the other half of the good news..."
"Perhaps, by the time we arrive, the Proxima Centauri civilization will have already fled."
Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang's face suddenly looked a little weird, "Moreover, their escape choice is most likely the solar system."
Fang Xu: "..."
Cao Liangcai: "..."
The rest of the scientists: "..."
"Yongchang, this joke is not funny..." Fang Xu looked at Lu Yongchang with a strange expression.
Lu Yongchang looked helplessly at the weird-looking people in front of him: "What I said is not a joke."
"Zero, open the star map and show them."
The holographic projection changed instantly, and images of several nearby star systems appeared around him.
Solar system, Alpha Centauri galaxy and Ophiuchus galaxy.
"The closest stars to Proxima Centauri are the other two stars of the Alpha Centauri triple star, which are only 0.21 light-years away."
"It's just that those two stars formed a binary star system. According to Zero's latest observation results, there is no planet suitable for life there."
"The second is the solar system, and finally, there is Barnard's Star in the Ophiuchus galaxy."
"Unfortunately, there are no solid planets suitable for survival in Barnard's Star."
"So..." As he spoke, Lu Yongchang shrugged, "According to normal circumstances, the Proxima Centauri might already be on their way to the solar system."
Fang Xu's expression became increasingly weird.
"So, we are still a two-way process?"
"You can indeed say that." Thinking of the expressions of the Proxima people after arriving in the solar system, Lu Yongchang twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and said while suppressing a smile.
"Of course, there is another possibility. Their observation methods are more advanced than ours, and they discovered the anomalies of the sun earlier and chose farther star systems as targets."
"It's just that this requires a higher level of technology. I don't think the Proxima Centauri civilization has such means."
…
The central region of the Milky Way.
The artificial planet belonging to Sweeper 9527 remains quietly in the universe.
Inside the planet.
"Sir, the latest news is coming from the Orion Arm area."
A report sounded, attracting the attention of Cleaner 9527.
"explain."
A simple syllable came out of his vocal organ.
"Sir, the star eater sent to the lhs4c42y star system has successfully completed its mission and is on its way back."
"Yes, how much energy does it absorb?"
"……not much."
A curtain of light appeared in front of Sweeper 9527.
He casually glanced at the data on the screen, and the color of his originally cyan skin suddenly deepened by one degree.
"That's it?"
He said in an extremely dissatisfied tone.
"Sir, that's just a yellow dwarf star. It's good that the star devourer can absorb this energy." The subordinate's defensive voice came, "Unless we use the large mass-energy conversion device of the parent civilization, otherwise..."
"Okay, okay, of course I know this." Sweeper 9527 waved his tentacles angrily, "I don't have much of that thing. If you use it to deal with a first-level civilization and a yellow dwarf star, you should be careful.
Am I crazy?"
"I'm just making an analogy..." the subordinate's voice came again.
"By the way, I remember that there is a red dwarf star next to the yellow dwarf star. How is the star devourer over there?" A faint light flashed on the external memory storage device of Sweeper 9527.
"Sir, it will take some time. The internal reaction of the red dwarf star is not violent enough."
"Tsk... What a loss-making deal." Cleaner 9527 said somewhat depressedly.
The subordinate's voice sounded again: "Sir, how about I help you choose a more massive star?"
After the words fell, another light curtain appeared in front of Cleaner 9527.
"Huh? Level 3 civilization?" He stretched out his tentacles boredly and slid the light screen. "The civilization has good potential. It is estimated that it will reach level 4 civilization in another 50,000 years."
"Sir, do you want to do something about it?" the subordinate said softly, "It's in the Perseus spiral arm, far away from us, and there are no signs of pastoralist activities there."
Cleaner 9527 swiped away the light curtain in front of him angrily: "There is no sign of pastoralist activities? Then what effort should I expend?"
"If it weren't for that damn pastoral two-dimensional creature hiding in the Orion Arm, I wouldn't care about those lowly bugs!"
"Keep an eye on the Orion Arm. Once you find any trace of that two-dimensional creature, report it to me immediately!"
"If our dimensional weapon hits the core, it won't last long!"
…
Earth calendar year 2100.
Proxima Centauri.
Inside a giant disc-shaped building.
In a room on the top floor of the building, Levi stood silently by the window, overlooking the outside scenery.
As the leader of the rebel army, after the uprising was successful, he took the seat he had always dreamed of and became the leader of the Proxima Centauri.
Of course, this group of Proxima Centauri people does not include Proxima Centauri royal family Rex and scientist Lyle.
But for Levi, this kind of life has made him very satisfied.
Outside the window, countless Marus and ordinary Proxima people were busy on the production line.
They are working hard to build their own escape starship.
"bite!"
A crisp sound came from behind.
Levi turned his head and looked, and the door opened a crack.
"Levi, the famous Lyle wants to see you."
A familiar announcement came from the door.
In order to show that everyone is equal, anyone can call him by his first name, including Malus.
Even his personal guards are made up of half Proxima Centauri and half Malus.
The person who just sent out the notification was none other than Marus.
Lyle?
He made no secret of his hostility and asked in a deep voice: "Why did Lyle come to see me?"
"Tell him that I don't want to see him and ask him to leave immediately!"
"Marus, get out of my way!" With a low and firm voice, the door to the room opened with a bang.
The person who came was wearing a standard black robe, and used his strong limbs to push open the door and the Marus guard blocking him.
"You!" Levi subconsciously took a step back and reached out to press the white button on the side.
As long as he presses the button, other guards will immediately come to deal with the strong Lyle!
"Calm down, Levi."
There was a bit of weird excitement in Lyle's tone: "I'm not here to fight with you."
"Then what are you doing?!" Levi's breathing holes opened and closed rapidly.
"Don't forget the agreement we signed, you have no right to interfere with us!"
