Orion spiral arm of Milky Way, Ross 154.

As a message from the center of the Milky Way came, an extremely strong flash of light was generated near the unknown black dwarf.

The source of light is a small detector released by the Sweeper Detector.

The moment the light appeared, there were irregular paint-black cracks that looked like the shape of a spider web in the "cube enclosing web" composed of these small detectors.

Watching from the side, it was like a complete mirror, smashed by a high-speed flying object.

However, it is slightly different from the mirror rupture, and the cracks appearing in the encirclement net are three-dimensional.

They emerge from near each small detector and spread to the center of the black dwarf at extremely high speeds.

Like a black hole, cracks swallowed the faint starlight in the background of the universe.

Without any resistance, in just a moment, the painted black cracks easily split the black dwarf into countless three-dimensional fragments.

The light emitted by the detector is getting stronger and stronger!

An indescribable tremor came from the black dwarf area.

That is the tremor that originates from three-dimensional space!

The next moment, the light from the small detector slowly dissipated, and the paint-black cracks and vibration gradually disappeared.

However, the black dwarf that was originally integrated has turned into a loose interstellar dust composed of carbon atoms.

Ross 154, as Sweeper 9527 said, was completely shattered on the physical level.

At the beginning, under the action of inertia, this interstellar dust still retains the shape of Ross 154 - a sphere.

With the unbridled detection of small detectors, their appearance quickly became irregular.

It can be foreseen that if there is no accident, this loose interstellar dust will eventually form an alternative nebula.

Unlike the nebula that is formed normally, which mainly consists of hydrogen and helium, its components are mainly carbon atoms from black dwarfs.

...

"Sir, the time of the dimensional upgrading phenomenon has been determined."

The subordinate's tentacle moved slightly and sent a light curtain to the Sweeper 9527.

"About a hundred years ago, it took a little longer and the detection error was very large."

Sweeper 9527 looked a little ugly when he heard this.

The error is very large, which means that the search difficulty will increase by several levels in the following level.

He didn't say anything, just glanced at the time in the light curtain, and then turned around and opened another light curtain.

“Kzqxd771 star system…”

"The last observation time was two hundred years ago..."

The indicator light on the external memory storage device is blinking rapidly.

"Introduce specific parameters of the star system."

"Prepare to reconstruct the simulated star system."

Sweeper 9527 quickly operated the light curtain in front of him.

Soon, a virtual star system appeared in front of him.

That is the Ross 154 star system observed by the probe two hundred years ago. Compared with the carbon atom nebula today, the two are completely different.

At that time, it was still a healthy and long-lived red dwarf.

Planets run orderly around them.

Sweeper 9527 looked at the star system in front of him with a look of indifferent expression.

"It's really poor, and there's no basic life."

"I didn't expect [Painting] would choose to hide in such a place." The subordinate's voice full of disgust came from the side.

In their opinion, even the intact Rose 154 is not as good as the stinky ditch on the roadside.

There are still some life and resources in the stinky ditch!

What is Rose 154?

Apart from a red dwarf with scarce energy, there are almost no useful resources.

Of course, this is for the Sweeper civilization and [Painting].

Sweeper 9527 responded calmly: "But this is indeed the best choice."

"There are too many such star systems in the Milky Way Orion's spiral arms. Even we don't have the resources to check these ordinary star systems one by one."

"That's why we can't find [painting]."

While speaking, Sweeper 9527 stretched out his tentacles and gently clicked on the light curtain in front of him.

Time has accelerated.

The Ross 154 star system in the picture is running rapidly.

January, one year, ten years, a hundred years...

In just one moment, the Ross 154 star system simulated in the light curtain ran to a critical time point - the period when the dimension ascending phenomenon occurred.

"Track all the stars in the star system and calculate their next trajectory."

"Let other detectors go along all possible paths."

Hearing this, his subordinate paused slightly.

"Sir, you mean..."

"[Painting] could be a fake death, it left this star system through the planet?"

Sweeper 9527 did not reply, but just looked at the picture in the light curtain silently.

He is not sure.

But he didn't believe that a level seven civilization could die on such a remote star!

The subordinates who did not get the answer silently conveyed instructions to the outside world.

The artificial planet gradually stopped spinning and returned to its original appearance.

...

Earth Calendar January 19, 2384.

Hope was wearing a space suit and sat by the waters near City One.

He has become a habit since he first performed an exploration mission.

Whenever he has time, he will come to the waters next to City No. 1, sit on the reefs on the shore, and quietly enjoy this peaceful scenery.

Although the waters are not big, the tiny sound of waves and the slight "sea breeze" always remind him of the memories of the Earth's era.

As always, he turned on the radio function on his helmet.

The sound of waves and wind filled his helmet again.

Suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps came from behind.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.

"Hope, I knew you were here again!"

A familiar voice came from the radio channel in the team.

"Hansent?" Hope was stunned for a moment, reached out to support the ground, and stood up from the reef.

"Why are you here?"

Unlike him, Hansent is not a regular visitor here.

At first, perhaps because he was worried about his teammate's mental condition, Hansent even bit the bullet and accompanied him several times.

But after a few times.

When Hansent found that his teammates were in extremely stable mental state, he chose the comfortable No. 1 city.

"There's news!"

Hansent said bluntly: "Didn't you see the message I sent you?"

Hope was stunned for a moment, then raised his watch to check it out.

really.

In the small holographic projection, dozens of messages are arranged neatly.

"Excuse me."

Hope canceled the mute function awkwardly: "I am used to turning on mute at this time."

Hansent waved his hand indifferently.

After being together for so many years, he has long been accustomed to Hope's odor.

"So," Hope asked casually while ticking the unread information on the watch as read, "what news can make you come to me specifically?"

Hansent took a deep breath, his eyes a little excited.
Chapter completed!
