As the detector arrived near Ross 154, huge detection data began to be transmitted to the optical quantum supercomputing center of [Earth].

After zero processing, most of the useless information is eliminated, while some useful or uncertain information is retained.

In the end, these data were presented one by one before Lu Yongchang.

Lu Yongchang, who was in the deep sea cabin, had his eyes covered with dark circles widened a little, and he carefully observed the data in front of him.

carbon.

And a small amount of interstellar dust.

This is the composition of black dwarfs.

No light, no radiation...

It looks like a huge solid-state planet.

If it weren't for witnessing it with your own eyes, Lu Yongchang wouldn't believe it. Not long ago, this was a star that emitted endless heat!

He looked serious and sorted out the data in front of him in a classified manner and classified it into the astronomical system mastered by humans.

...

Central area of ​​the Milky Way.

Sweeper Civilization Milky Way Division.

Sweeper 9527, as usual, was bored and flipping through the data sent back by the detector.

"Sir, I discovered three more suspected stars."

The subordinate's voice came from the side.

9527 responded softly, dragged the light curtain beside him with his tentacles, and checked casually.

The next moment, he casually pressed the button on the light curtain beside him.

There is only one key function.

Launch the star-eating device.

With the movement of Sweeper 9527, a strange wave appeared next to this absolutely still artificial planet.

It was like a stone was thrown to the lake.

The ripple spread slowly.

Three star-eating devices with black light slowly emerged from the center of the ripples.

When the three star-eating weapons were completely presented in the universe, the ripples gradually disappeared, and the universe space returned to its original appearance.

After pausing for a moment, these three star-eating weapons entered a state of curvature and disappeared from sight.

"Sir, there are not many star-eating tools in the small universe."

The subordinate's voice rang again: "Do you need to make another batch?"

9527 "frowned", the tentacles shook their randomly for a few times, and light flashed in the external memory storage device next to the brain.

"Need not."

“No need to waste resources.”

"I remember that the first batch of launched star-eating devices have completed their mission, so they should be back soon, right?"

The subordinate responded quickly: "Yes, sir."

"At present, there are more than twenty star-eating weapons on their way back."

9527 nodded lightly: "Remember to extract the energy from it."

"Although the energy of a single star-eating device is not much, the amount is still considerable."

"At least it can support us in a small-scale war."

The subordinate quickly responded.

"It's just... so far, we haven't found any traces of [painting]." The subordinate said after a while, "Will it die?"

"After all, its core is directly hit by a four-dimensional shock bomb, and the damage is definitely not low."

Faced with the questions from subordinates, the cleaner 9527's face froze slightly.

But soon, it said in a low tone: "Even if it is dead, we have to find its place of death!"

"The mother civilization is working hard to overcome two-dimensional technology."

"Whether it is dead or alive, it has an extraordinary effect on us!"

The cleaner 9527's eyes showed a bit of contemplation, and his brain was running rapidly, thinking about the possibility of this happening.

The core was destroyed by the four-dimensional shock bomb...

Maybe, in which remote corner did this two-dimensional creature really die?!

Thinking of this, a little panic appeared in the eyes of the cleaner 9527.

This two-dimensional creature is the focus of the mother civilization!

If it's screwed up...

Sweeper 9527's tentacle suddenly paused: "Release all detectors!"

"Carpet search of Orion's arm!"

"I don't believe that I can't find this cunning two-dimensional creature!"

...

Twenty-five years later.

2300 years of the Earth calendar.

In the vast interstellar space.

A fleet covered with traces of time on the surface is advancing towards its destination at 25% of the speed of light.

In the starship, a total of six billion humans are in deep hibernation.

Distance 1au away from [Earth].

A spherical detector with a diameter of about one meter flashes with a green indicator light, and patrol and detect according to the zero-planned route.

Suddenly, the camera on the spherical detector stopped rotating.

In the camera perspective of the spherical detector, a square detector with a surface that is in ruins and even a few bare circuits are slowly revealed from deep space.

[Earth] Inside the optical quantum supercomputer center.

The bright red warning lights kept flashing, and the harsh alarm bells screamed wildly!

Zero's CPU usage rate soared by 10 percentage points instantly.

At the same time, the emergency plan was launched!

...

1au outside.

Dozens of detectors surrounded by them, clamping the square detector that was not human.

The red working indicator light on the surface of the square detector slowly flashed, as if he was full of confusion about the behavior of these spherical detectors around him.

After the emergency plan was launched, a piece of information that had been set long ago was sent to the square detector.

The information content is very simple.

Just a sequence of prime numbers.

If the other party is a civilization that can communicate, this series of prime numbers is enough to show human tendencies.

...

[Earth].

The lights near the hibernation compartment light up one after another.

"Unknown civilization creation was detected."

“Start the Type 1 Emergency Plan.”

"A wake-up task is being performed..."

As the sound of zero sounded, a small holographic image appeared above the selected hibernation compartment.

...

A familiar feeling came from all directions of the body.

Lu Yongchang subconsciously frowned and opened his eyes with difficulty.

The pupils illuminated by strong light quickly contract.

He subconsciously turned his head and moved his gaze away.
To be continued...
