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. Now that you've enjoyed it, it's time to go to work."
The Chief Consul sighed, stood up, and controlled the thrusters to slowly fly towards the flagship spacecraft next to him. The cabinet members nearby quickly followed.
At this time, a spacecraft thousands of kilometers away had been waiting for several days before it was allowed to approach the flagship. After finally landing on the flagship, the director of the Moto Civilization Intelligence Department rushed towards the consul's office.
This matter was too important and urgent, and he didn't dare waste any time.
Of course, no matter how important or urgent the matter was, he did not dare to disturb the chief executive from sunbathing, so he could only think of 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 horizontal The cross-sectional area is as high as 10.6 billion square kilometers.”
The lazy-looking chief executive 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 cross-sectional area of 10.6 billion square kilometers is roughly enough to deploy a fleet of a third-level civilization.
In this way, a conclusion can be easily drawn.
After leaving the Iron Blood Nebula, the fleet of the Storm Civilization 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 is not adjacent to the Storm galaxy where the Storm civilization is located, but the distance is not far away, only about 6 light years.
There was no direct conflict between the two 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 slightly inferior to his own Moto Civilization, but the gap is not huge. If we really mobilize the power of all civilizations to engage in actual combat, 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... was destroyed quietly.
And, besides the super civilization that constructed this "Civilized Colosseum", who else could destroy the Storm Civilization?
The chief executive slowly felt 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 the Storm Civilization has gone crazy. Why do they have to leave if they are doing well? It would be great if we continue to stay here. If we fight, we will fight. Anyway, the people who will die are inferior people."
"It's okay now. With this incident, the other civilizations may not dare to leave."
The Chief Consul grunted and turned off the projection: "Okay, I understand. You can go."
The head of intelligence departed respectfully. The Chief Executive did not intend to do anything extra for this information.
It's business as usual. Anyway, my own civilization never planned to leave here.
At this moment, the light carrying information about this explosion that was comparable to a super-bright star at the edge of the Iron Blood Nebula was 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!"
One 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, just file a 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 earn some money to buy a better house, even the girls who go to the blind date 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.
The star was so bright that it clearly cast 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. In just a few seconds, I witnessed it disappear again.
Appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air. The universe is once again at peace.
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. Then it began to fall back quickly, until it reached its original height.
An extremely steep crest appeared.
This situation is very unusual. This means that there is a super strong electromagnetic wave radiation in the direction of your observation. However, there is no star in the direction of his observation that can create such fluctuations.
Rising star? Supernova? Star collision?
nothing.
Could it be that an extreme physical process occurred in a more distant place, causing 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 actually not 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.
Simple calculations show that at least 180 billion tons of antimatter were involved in this explosion!
Taking into account 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 doubled it directly. As a result, the total amount of antimatter carried in the end was only more than a 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!
Which person, which force, and which civilization set off this giant firework in space? What is the purpose? Why do this?
"I'm afraid it's not voluntary. I can't think of the point of doing something like this if it's done voluntarily."
A member of the War Council made the first judgment, which was approved by all members.
Zhao Changxing also recognized this conclusion.
"Such an amount of antimatter is enough to support a giant fleet to embark on 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 is some gap between the two, it is not a gap in magnitude. Taking into account the initial consumption and calculation errors, the two can basically be considered equal.
Then the next conclusion is 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 the war committee members fell into silence.
