After hearing Zheng Guangyi's words, Yuan Yingnan also asked quickly.
The center of the Milky Way is extremely prosperous and extremely rich in matter. It can be said that there are a large number of celestial bodies everywhere in the void, and there are even more asteroids and the like.
Unless it is in the territory of some extremely developed civilizations, which have a long history of development, and these asteroids and the like are mined, it is generally impossible to mine all the huge celestial bodies such as planets.
"In this direction, according to the data, this area should be the territory of the Level 3 cosmic civilization Maple Leaf Empire."
With a thought, Zheng Guangyi directly enlarged the star map and circled this strange area.
"Maple Leaf Empire?"
Yuan Yingnan looked over and found that it was exactly what Zheng Guangyi said. According to the information detected by the space fluctuation detector, in the starry sky within the entire Maple Leaf Empire, in addition to stars, it seemed that all planets, asteroids, etc.
was mined out.
This starry sky is like a dead place, without any fluctuations, not even a spaceship, space building, etc.
"Check information related to Maple Leaf Empire~"
Zheng Guangyi thought, and a large amount of information about the Maple Leaf Empire instantly emerged in his mind. The Maple Leaf Empire is an ordinary level 3 cosmic civilization with average strength. The information found is realistic. The news about the Maple Leaf Empire is tens of thousands of years ago.
For the next tens of thousands of years, there was no information about the Maple Leaf Empire in the Milky Way.
"Did someone destroy the Maple Leaf Empire?"
"Or is it that the Maple Leaf Empire has moved to other places?"
"The entire Maple Leaf Empire has become a resource extraction site for a level 4 cosmic civilization?"
Zheng Yingnan thought for a while and guessed.
It was destroyed by others, so there was no sign of any activity in the entire Maple Leaf Empire, not even a spaceship. Otherwise, how could there be no spaceships or the like.
Of course, it is also possible that they migrated to other places. The Milky Way is extremely turbulent, and many weak civilizations are forced to wander and move their entire families in search of a peaceful and comfortable place.
Of course, Zheng Yingnan thinks that the greater possibility is that the Maple Leaf Empire has become a resource extraction site for a fourth-level cosmic civilization.
Now the galactic war is in full swing, both warring parties are working hard, and the consumption of resources is very huge. The construction of a large space battleship requires a very huge amount of resources.
But now there are hundreds of legions fighting at every turn, fighting not only for technology, but also for resources and heritage, so sometimes, these level 4 cosmic civilizations will mine everything in a certain area to satisfy their needs.
the needs of war.
Such situations are not uncommon. The Sky Eye system has already monitored that many areas in the Milky Way have been mined. The technology mastered by the fourth-level cosmic civilization seems to be incapable of escaping all other celestial bodies except stars.
"The third possibility is more likely, but it would be better for us to go over and take a look."
Zheng Guangyi thought for a while and suggested.
"Okay, I'll inform the captain~"
Yuan Yingnan nodded and immediately explained the situation to the captain of the space battleship.
Soon, the space battleship started up again, and with waves of space fluctuations, it flew directly to a planetary system within the territory of the Maple Leaf Empire at warp speed.
"Oh, it's really quite empty. It's so empty that people are a bit unaccustomed to it. I thought it was on top of our Orion cantilever."
As soon as you enter this galaxy, all the situations in the entire galaxy are immediately displayed before your eyes.
The entire galaxy is very empty and lifeless.
A star is alone in the center of the galaxy. There are no planets around it. There is not a larger asteroid in the entire galaxy. As for the traces of civilization, there is no trace at all.
Very desolate, very desolate.
It's like this is a place of exile in the universe, without any life, very empty and lonely.
"What's going on?"
Yuan Yingnan was also dumbfounded. It was really unfathomable that such a place appeared in the center of the Milky Way.
The richness and prosperity of the center of the Milky Way have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who would have thought that there would be such an empty galaxy here.
"There is no doubt that the interstellar material here has been hollowed out."
Zheng Guangyi said with great certainty.
"Such a clean starry sky, let alone the center of the Milky Way, is not the same even at the edge of the Orion cantilever. The only reasonable explanation is that the interstellar material here has been hollowed out."
"There are hundreds of stars within a 10-light-year radius, which means that all the interstellar matter in these hundreds of galaxies has been hollowed out."
"What kind of civilization is it that is so heartless and crazy?"
Zheng Guangyi defined the civilization that hollowed out this star field as crazy. This is really crazy. There is no shortage of matter in the center of the Milky Way. There is extremely huge matter in each galaxy. You can just dig it up casually.
There is no need to dig out all the matter in a place, especially planets and living planets. Even if matter is needed again, there is no need to dig out all living planets.
But here, there is nothing left in each planet except stars. What is it if it is not crazy?
"It's probably the Ned civilization, the fourth-level cosmic civilization closest to the Maple Leaf Empire. Now these galactic overlords in the galaxy have gone crazy and don't care about anything at all."
"In the recent Battle of the Seventh Nebula, both the Boboli Alliance and the Galaxy Alliance went crazy. They had reached the point where they didn't care about anything. The Boboli Empire went crazy and even used star bombs to blow up their own people."
"Under such huge pressure, in order to obtain resources, it is nothing to hollow out some star fields. Not long ago, we detected those level four cosmic civilizations that are frantically destroying rocky planets to mine resources?"
Yuan Yingnan thought for a while and said.
"The Ned civilization is more than 600 light-years away from here. Such a long distance makes transportation extremely inconvenient. Why doesn't the Ned civilization dig some star fields nearby?"
Zheng Guangyi thought for a while and shook his head.
"I always feel that this place is unusual. It has been excavated so cleanly that it's a bit too clean. It's as if the people who mine this star field are reluctant to throw away any bit of material here."
"Or maybe it gives people the impression that they are digging in secret, so they are afraid of being known and discovered by others, so as long as there is a chance, they will dig everything up."
"If it is a level four cosmic civilization, they usually do things openly and are not afraid of anything. They should not eat so cleanly. Anyway, the starry sky they control is very vast and there are plenty of resources."
"Why are you thinking so much? Just report the situation here. The galactic war is endless. These level 4 cosmic civilizations are becoming more and more domineering in their actions. Maybe they are afraid of being known."
Yuan Yingnan thought about it and said with a smile.
They are just scientists and are responsible for researching technology. As for other things, let the people above take care of them.
"That's right. I'll report the situation here and ask the superiors to send someone to investigate."
Zheng Guangyi nodded. They still have things to do. There are still many areas where space fluctuation detectors have not been deployed. They are finished here and will soon rush to the next star field.
…
In a virtual world, many astronomical scientists from all over the world gathered together.
As more and more space wave detectors are deployed in the center of the Milky Way, more and more information is collected into the hands of Xinghan scientists. For the first time, scientists can have a very intuitive understanding of the entire Milky Way and can master more information.
Accurate information.
"There are 350 billion stars in the center of the entire Milky Way. This number is about 10 billion more than we originally calculated. Thanks to the powerful space fluctuation detector, we have precise control over the center of the entire Milky Way."
The cosmic astronomy scientists in Xinghan are ecstatic. The birth of the space fluctuation detector has also brought about the further development of cosmic astronomy science.
In the past, to detect the interstellar universe, we usually used space telescopes to construct star maps by calculating starlight, or to monitor high-energy rays, gravitational waves, etc. in the interstellar universe.
Well, now, with the space wave detector, a range of hundreds of light years can be detected, and everything in the entire range can be detected clearly.
This allows scientists to have a more comprehensive understanding of the entire interstellar universe and accurately grasp everything about the interstellar universe.
"Everyone, take a look at the areas marked in red. There are abnormalities in these areas. We have sent people to detect some of them. The spatial fluctuations in these areas are relatively frequent, which affects the spatial fluctuation detectors, so the detected data is inaccurate.
"
"There are also some areas that are too close to massive celestial bodies. Massive celestial bodies produce huge distortions and folds in space. The closer to the place where we influence the core black hole, the information detected by our space fluctuation detector will be smaller."
The more blurry it is, and the more inaccurate it is.”
"In addition to the above two situations, there are thousands of strange places in the center of the entire galaxy. We have received reports that dozens of star fields seem to have been excavated, and there is nothing left except stars.
, which is very strange.”
In the virtual world, cosmic astronomy scientists are analyzing and summarizing the information detected by space detectors. By constructing complete and accurate star maps, scientists have also discovered some strange places in the center of the Milky Way.
Dozens of star fields have been excavated, leaving nothing but stars.
But soon, scientists also blamed the hollowing out of these star fields on the level four cosmic civilization, and did not delve too deeply into it.
