It was not until this outbreak passed that the chief executive and cabinet members slowly recovered from the extreme relief.
“It’s so exciting!”
"This type of outbreak is really rare in a thousand years. I don't know when it will happen next time."
"Tsk, tsk, you still have to bask in the natural sun. The artificial ones just don't taste good enough."
"Okay. After enjoying it, it's time to go to work."
The chief consul sighed, stood up,
He controlled the thrusters and slowly flew towards the flagship spacecraft next to him. The cabinet members next to him quickly followed.
At this time, a spaceship that was thousands of kilometers away and had been waiting for several days was allowed to approach the flagship. After finally docking in the flagship, the director of the Moto Civilization Intelligence Department hurriedly rushed towards the governor's office.
go.
This matter was so important and urgent that he didn't dare waste any time.
certainly,
No matter how important or urgent the matter was, he would not dare to disturb the chief executive while he was sunbathing.
All we can do is find ways to save time as much as possible in other aspects.
"Lord Archon, our space telescope array observed a super-strong antimatter explosion in the direction where the Storm Civilization fleet left the Iron Blood Nebula. The total yield of this explosion is estimated to be between 189 billion and 216.5 billion tons, covering the horizon.
The cross-sectional area is as high as 10.6 billion square kilometers."
The lazy-looking Chief Consul finally looked more serious. He scratched the hard scales on his body and took the information.
Looking at the images of the explosion displayed in the projected image, he fell into thinking.
About 200 billion tons of antimatter is still not enough to support the interstellar migration of a complete third-level civilization. However, this is entirely possible because it was consumed in the early stage. The coverage cross-sectional area of 10.6 billion square kilometers
, which is probably enough to launch a fleet of a third-level civilization.
In this way, a conclusion can be easily drawn.
After leaving the Iron Blood Nebula, the Storm Civilization's fleet encountered some irresistible external force, which led to the destruction of the fleet.
In other words, the storm civilization has been destroyed at this moment.
How else could there be so many antimatter explosions?
"Storm Civilization,
Storm Civilization..."
The Chief Consul murmured, and relevant information about this civilization flashed subconsciously in his mind.
The Moto galaxy where the Moto civilization is located,
It is not adjacent to the storm galaxy where the storm civilization is located,
But the distance is not too far, only about 6 light years.
There has never been a direct conflict between the two major civilizations. However, looking at the records of civilized wars over the past thousands of years, the Chief Consul's evaluation of the strength of the Storm Civilization is that it is slightly inferior to his own Moto Civilization, but the difference is not significant.
Big. If we really mobilize the power of all civilizations to fight, the best result for our side will be a tragic victory.
After all, there are too many influencing factors in actual combat, and no one can perfectly predict the direction of a full-scale war.
But now, such a powerful third-level civilization... has been destroyed quietly.
And, besides the super civilization that constructed this "civilized colosseum", who else could destroy the storm civilization?
The chief executive slowly became a little more fearful.
If the existence of that super civilization and the "Civilized Colosseum" were only speculation before, then now, the destruction of the Storm Civilization has undoubtedly confirmed this matter.
As expected, this Iron Blood Nebula cannot be left.
“I don’t know why Storm Civilization went crazy.
Why do you have to leave if everything is fine? It would be better if you continue to stay here. If you hit, just hit. Anyway, the person who dies is a second-rate person."
"it's good now,
With this incident, the other civilizations may not dare to leave."
The chief executive grunted and turned off the projection: "Okay, I understand. You can go."
The head of the intelligence department left respectfully. The chief executive did not intend to do anything extra for this information.
Everything is business as usual. Anyway, our civilization has never planned to leave here.
At this moment, the light carrying information about this explosion, which occurred at the edge of the Iron Blood Nebula and was comparable to a super-bright star, is still running wildly through the vast universe at the speed of light.
Now, the h1 galaxy, which is more than twenty light-years away, has also received these lights.
Jingle bell bell bell bell!
It's finally time to get off work.
In the vast space, at the construction site of the Taiwei 46 Passive Interstellar Particle Collider, engineers wearing spacesuits performing extravehicular operations breathed a sigh of relief and carefully began to gather their tools, preparing to return to the engineering ship to rest.
"The progress is too fast! The construction period of such a large collider is only two years, which is very tiring!"
An engineer couldn't help but howl.
"Come on, stop complaining and go back to rest quickly. We have to continue working tomorrow."
"Old Wang, if you don't want to do it, report and resign. There are many people who want to take your position."
"The money is enough, and it's worth the effort."
"That's right, although the affordable housing is free, the environment is poor. These days, if you don't make some money to buy a better house, even the girls who go to the blind date family will look down on it."
A group of engineers were chatting casually while doing finishing work. At this moment, a bright star suddenly appeared in the vast space.
This star is so bright that it clearly casts the shadows of the engineers on the huge machinery behind them in the dark universe.
At this moment, all the engineers subconsciously closed their mouths.
It seemed like something extraordinary had happened.
At the same time, on the surface of the planet, outside the space city, in the porthole of the spacecraft, next to the roaring factory...
Countless people saw the appearance of this bright star at the same time. And just a few seconds later, they witnessed its disappearance with their own eyes.
Appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air. The universe once again returned to calm.
Outside the planet H1-5, at the 10656th Remote Interstellar Observation Station, the observers were slightly horrified to see that the originally flat lines on the display screen suddenly increased by thousands of points at this moment. And then again.
It began to fall back quickly, until it reached its original height.
An extremely steep wave crest appeared.
This situation is very unusual. It means that there is a super strong electromagnetic wave radiation in the direction of your observation. However, there is no star in your observation direction that can create such fluctuations.
Nova? Supernova? Star collision?
nothing.
Could it be that an extreme physical process occurred in a more distant place, leading to things like gamma ray bursts and x-ray bursts?
It doesn't really look like it... Judging from the red shift, the radiation source that caused this radiation burst should be very close to us.
It's only over twenty light years away, even a little closer than the Iron Blood Nebula.
There are no macroscopic stars there at all.
Too strange.
The observer immediately began further observations and calculations.
Data shows that the absolute magnitude of the corresponding star in this explosion is as high as -6.8. When converted from the absolute magnitude to the apparent magnitude at the current distance, it is also as high as -7.2, which is ten times brighter than Venus when viewed from the earth!
This level of brightness can even cast a shadow visible to the naked eye on the surface of the planet!
He quickly compiled the relevant observation data and reported it according to the different reporting procedures for different levels of observation information.
At this moment, he was reporting this information together with tens of thousands of other observation stations, interstellar reconnaissance satellites, scientific research ships, etc.
After comprehensive analysis, people quickly came to a conclusion.
This star is not actually a star. Based on various data analysis, it... is more like a man-made explosion.
The type should be annihilation of matter and antimatter.
Once the distance and the energy level of the explosion are determined, it is easy to calculate how much antimatter participated in the explosion.
The conclusion shocked everyone.
A simple calculation shows that at least 180 billion tons of antimatter was involved in this explosion!
After accounting for errors, the real number may be even greater than this!
A full 180 billion tons of antimatter! What an astonishing number. You must know that when the human fleet embarked on a long voyage, it left redundancy, and then doubled it directly. As a result, the total amount of antimatter carried in the end was only a dozen
Just billion tons.
Just these billions of tons of antimatter supported the human fleet's voyage over dozens of light-years, and repeatedly made several accelerations, decelerations, and course changes during the journey. It also supported all the consumption during the journey, and in the end
After arriving at the destination of the H1 galaxy, the fleet even saved tens of millions of tons of antimatter!
Who, which force, and which civilization set off this giant firework in space? What was the purpose? Why was it done?
"I'm afraid this is not voluntary. I can't think of the meaning of doing this kind of thing if you do it voluntarily."
A member of the War Committee made the first judgment, which was recognized by all members.
Zhao Changxing also agreed with this conclusion.
"Such an amount of antimatter is enough to support a giant fleet to launch an interstellar voyage. Hmm? This number is probably similar to the antimatter reserves required by our calculation model for a normal third-level civilization fleet to embark on an interstellar voyage.
."
Although there are some differences between the two, they are not orders of magnitude. Taking into account the initial consumption and calculation errors, the two can basically be considered equal.
Then the next conclusion will be easy to draw.
"A certain third-level civilization in the Iron Blood Nebula, after learning that our human civilization successfully left the Iron Blood Nebula and was not destroyed by the speculated super civilization, also embarked on an interstellar voyage and planned to leave the Iron Blood Nebula, but
, encountered... destruction when leaving?"
In the conference room, the civilized leaders and members of the war committee fell into silence.
