Proxima star system.

A planet with a mass of about 1.3 times the Earth quickly crosses the distance from Proxima Centauri 0.05 astronomical units.

That is Proxima b, the parent star of Proxima civilization.

The semi-major axis of the orbit orbit is only 0.05 astronomical units, which is only about 5% of the semi-major axis of the Earth's orbit orbit. Compared with it, even the first planet in the solar system, Mercury's semi-major axis of the orbit orbit has reached 0.39 astronomical units.

.

Unlike the solar system, as the main star of the Proxima galaxy, the mass of Proxima Centauri is only one-eighth of the sun.

It's just a red dwarf.

It is also true that only planets so close to Proxima Centauri have the opportunity to nurture life.

Proxima Centauri b surface.

After sending the message to the solar system 4.22 light years away, the recipient Atoka returned to his usual rhythm of life.

There is no way, due to the efficiency of electromagnetic wave transmission, they will not be able to receive a reply from higher civilizations in the solar system after at least 8.44 years.

So, continuing to check the data sent back by each detector is all his current work.

The workload is not large, and in his spare time, he can even use his position to satisfy his hobbies.

Stargazing.

Observing Proxima Centauri through an optical telescope is his favorite thing to do when he is resting.

Today, as usual, after checking the data of the other detectors, he silently controlled the optical telescope equipped with filters and cast it to Proxima Centauri outside of 0.05 astronomical units.

Atoka stared blankly at the slowly burning fireball displayed in the instrument in front of him.

This is the star on which their civilization relies!

Thinking that the technological development of his civilization had been stagnant for hundreds of years, Atoka's brain felt a sense of fear, and layers of fine bumps appeared on the top of the thinking organs.

It's been so long.

What if...what should I do if Proxima Centauri goes out on one day?

The fine pimples on the top of the Atoka thinking organ are becoming clearer.

After a long time, he shook his thick forelimbs.

It is impossible, absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen.

Although he is just a low-level recipient, he is still very clear about these basic common sense.

As a red dwarf, Proxima Centauri has a slow and unstable thermonuclear reaction rate, so its expected life span has reached an astonishing three trillion to four trillion years, while Proxima Centauri is only 4.8 billion years at this moment.

Left and left history.

Compared with its ultimate life span, Proxima Centella was still a newborn child at this time.

The skin on the top of the Atoka thinking organ gradually smooths out.

Just as he relaxed his guard, a black light appeared on the screen.

The next second, the black light penetrated Proxima Centauri.

Atoka was stunned for a moment and carefully observed the big fireball on the screen.

Nothing unusual.

It seemed as if the black light just now was just Atoka's illusion.

...

A few days ago.

An artificial object with black light flashing around him appeared out of thin air outside the Proxima Galaxy.

That was the star-eating device issued by Sweeper 9527.

With the help of curvature navigation, it spans tens of thousands of light years and successfully reaches its target galaxy.

The star-eating device with black light stayed quietly in the empty universe.

Curvature navigation is not suitable for flying within stellar systems.

Next it needs to enter Proxima Centauri through conventional flight methods.

But before that, it needs to report the situation to the Sweeper 9527 in the central area of ​​the Milky Way.

A message is sent from it.

After a brief wait, the black light on the surface of the star-eating device became stronger.

At that moment, it accelerated directly from stillness to 90% of the speed of light!

The black light rushed straight towards the red dwarf star in the center of the star system!

The second before it was about to touch Proxima Centauri, its speed suddenly decreased.

This is to prevent severe impact on stars.

After all, the main purpose of the star-eating device is to absorb star energy.

As for the destruction of low-level civilizations, it is just a "gift" to this process.

...

Atoka blinked.

His three pairs of narrow and long visual organs revealed a little doubt and confusion.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

illusion?

No way?

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, he stretched out his thick forelimbs and pressed several buttons on the instrument in front of him.

The image begins to playback.

In the slow-moving lens, Atoka clearly saw an object shining with dark light rushing into Proxima Centauri.

His narrow and long visual organ suddenly widened a little.

Something happened!

This was the first thought that flashed through his mind.

Although the video was blurry, he was sure that the object with dark light must be an artificial object!

After all, it is impossible for meteorites or comets to maintain their original shape so close to Proxima!

Even a strong black light shines all over his body!

Atoka's limbs trembled slightly.

He is just the lowest-level recipient, and he has never faced such a situation!

In just a few seconds, he quickly figured out the solution.

Shake people... no, it's reporting.

Atoka quickly ran to the communication device and pressed the request communication button.

“…”

After a brief wait.

A low voice sounded.

"Atoka, has the detector sent back the information again?"

Hearing the questioning of his leading boss, Atokana's three pairs of narrow visual organs showed some tension.

"No, no."

"Then why did you apply for a communication?" A low voice rang out again: "This communication can only be used in an emergency."

"You have been a recipient for such a long time, don't you understand this?"

Atoka stammered: "Sir, sir, I discovered an abnormality."

Atoka, who was afraid of being punished, spoke again and added: "It has to do with our main star."

“…………There will be a professional to come to your side to find out the situation.”

A slightly sloppy word came out of the communication equipment and disappeared.

Atoka stood blankly in front of the communication equipment.

In the observation instruments beside them, the huge fireball still emitted endless light and heat around as usual.

But Atoka felt a chill coming from behind.

Although I don’t know what impact the black light I see will have.

But his intuition told him that Proxima Centarum civilization seemed to have encountered an unprecedented crisis.

...

A week passed in a flash.

During this long waiting time, Atoka was reluctant to eat. In addition to processing the information sent back by the detector, he stared at the Proxima Centauri in the observation instrument all day long.

Like a week ago, Proxima still looks the same.

It seemed that the black light had never appeared before.

The door of the room quietly opened without realizing it.
Chapter completed!
