Chapter 712 The Disappearing Star
Yuan Shichen was still staring at the distant starry sky, changing his perspective from time to time, watching the dark spots expanding continuously.
Just as his expression became more and more serious, suddenly, the whole picture came to an abrupt end.
The endless darkness disappeared, the vast sea of stars and the little stars disappeared, and replaced by the soft light inside the dome space of the parliament hall.
[Dear commanders, the above is the information sent back by the Fourth Operations Group Reconnaissance Fleet as soon as possible.]
General Meng Dun's voice appeared in the parliamentary hall, and all the participants also came back to their senses from the virtual images of the universe and projected their sights in the center of the parliamentary hall.
The delegates at the meeting looked different. Although they had more or less their own judgment on the situation, they were quietly waiting for what General Meng Dun had to say next.
So the entire parliament hall fell into silence until General Meng Dun's voice sounded again.
[Of course, these are all survey information from a macro perspective. We only have these for the time being. But soon, I believe that it will not take long before the front reconnaissance fleet will send back more specific things.]
After saying that, the interior of the dome hemisphere space was immediately filled with various questions.
【What are those, what exactly?】
【Is it related to the Annihilation Alliance? What are they doing!?】
[Why do stars suddenly disappear and disappear so strangely without leaving any traces!]
...
All questions basically revolve around, and they can only revolve around the fact that stars have disappeared strangely.
[Dear commanders, the fleet command center cannot make accurate judgments before obtaining more in-depth information.] General Meng Dun continued, [But one thing is certain that this incident is extraordinary. If you count the battles between the Annihilation Alliance, there has never been a current scene...]
[General Meng Dun, when will the reconnaissance fleet in front send back more information?] The leader of a coalition fleet asked.
[It should be very soon!] General Meng Dun replied after a brief thought, [Because the reconnaissance fleet is equipped with micro over-distance communication equipment, at the current distance, its full load of energy is enough to initiate two to three over-distance communication processes.]
[Based on the macro monitoring information we just checked, we cannot be sure whether the star has actually disappeared or has temporarily blocked the light by some special means.] Another coalition fleet leader asked.
【Yes, the stars disappeared so strangely that no form of energy radiation was observed, and it was likely that they were blocked.】
The view that the stars were temporarily obscured was immediately recognized by several other coalition fleet leaders.
But General Meng Dun's next words directly denied their speculation.
[I'm afraid you will be disappointed. We have determined through gravitational parameters that the stars will definitely disappear completely, rather than be temporarily obscured.]
Various voices immediately appeared in the parliamentary hall, and everyone knew that if the stars really disappeared completely, the situation would be much more serious.
Eliminating a large number of stars in a short period of time is not a difficult task for most civilized fleets participating in joint defense operations. But it is beyond everyone's imagination to be silent and make so many stars suddenly disappear in such a short period of time like ghosts.
[Dear General Meng Dun.] Yuan Shichen raised questions through the communication system, [I want to understand the detailed parameters of simulating the time process in the cosmic void that just appeared.]
[These are detailed time parameters.] General Meng Dun shared the relevant data with everyone, and then continued, [I understand your idea, you guessed it right. The speed of stars disappearing is increasing regularly!]
“Thank you very much.”
The next moment after saying Xie Ci, Yuan Hashichen's brain was already running rapidly.
He cites the following important parameters:
1. Each vanishing star system includes the total mass of known planets therein;
2. The actual distance between each disappearing star system;
3. The time spent on each single star disappearing;
4. The time difference of each adjacent star disappears;
...
After extremely complicated calculations, several curves gradually emerged in Yuan Hashichen's mind.
"Dear commanders." Yuan Shichen quickly shared the curves and related values through brain waves, and said, "The above is the preliminary conclusion drawn from current intelligence."
"Through the first curve, we can know that in each area where the star disappears, the time it takes for the star that disappears initially is the longest, but as you can see, in each dark spot, the subsequent star disappearance velocity is rising exponentially. If the distance between stars and the mass parameters are corrected, we can get such a simple function."
[The factors that promote the disappearance of stars are very weak in the early stage, but the disappearance rate of stars is decreasing in the negative quadratic level!!]
Everyone immediately came to the conclusion that this was no longer the rate limit of the distance between stars.
[If it is what the Annihilation Alliance does, does it mean that their units of action are continuing to grow exponentially!?]
【Impossible, this is unlikely!】
[At least we haven't figured out how these stars disappeared without any signs or movements.]
Just when everyone was surprised, Yuan Shichen lit up another curve in his mind.
This time he didn't say much, but said concisely: "All time parameters have been corrected and the influence of the swallowing stars along the way have been eliminated. The suspected combat units of the Annihilation Alliance are gradually approaching us at a rate above 2,000 times the speed of light."
【2000 times the speed of light!? This has almost double the speed of our regular speed.】
[However, do they plan to rely on ordinary interstellar navigation to fly to the "Gate of Time and Space"?]
[According to the distance of the most recent disappearing star, it takes more than 100 years to fly to the galaxy where the first defense echelon is located.]
[100 years, this has far exceeded the time limit we predicted before. General Triangle Blade gave 30-60 years.]
Various sounds or radio waves flood the interior of the parliamentary hall.
[Everyone, don’t be too optimistic. If the other party is a fleet of the Annihilation Alliance, it is inevitable to take the means of space jumping!] General Meng Dun reminds everyone.
Although the total diameter of the star domain to which the 1562 energy unit of [Gate of Time and Space] reaches more than 10 million light years, the radius of defense that the 271st Star Fleet can truly cover is only within 3 million light years.
The main garrison of the First Defensive Echelon is deploying on the periphery of the spherical space 2.5 million light years away from the core area. This includes the direct troops of the 271st Star Fleet and 10 powerful coalition fleets.
【We must attack in advance!!】
Just as the delegates at the meeting were talking, the leader of the Chaoyang Civilization Fleet suddenly said.
He immediately became the focus.
[Look at these dark spots formed by vanishing stars! They have surrounded us, and the enemies come from all directions! We must kill them before they reach scale!]
Chapter completed!
