Earth calendar year 2620.

A dusty fleet is slowly slowing down.

After hundreds of years of interstellar journeys, these starships have lost their original splendor, and their surfaces are full of traces of time.

In front of the fleet is a star that emits gentle light - a red dwarf.

Gliese 3929, this is the number given to it by human civilization.

This is the destination of the human fleet's interstellar voyage.

According to the plan formulated by the Academy of Sciences, the human fleet will rest in the Gliese 3929 star system.

After replenishing the necessary supplies, we went to look for a black hole 95 light-years away.

…

[The target star system is about to arrive and the detector is being released...]

Inside [Earth], a line of text flashed in the holographic projection located in the central computer area.

The next moment, under Zero's control, a large number of detectors filed out of the starships one after another.

Relying on their small size and the strong power of the antimatter engine, these detectors quickly sailed towards the nearby Gliese 3929 star system at a speed much higher than that of the fleet.

[The detector has been successfully released, the default program has been started, and the wake-up program is being executed...]

…

Bright lights, slightly stiff electronic synthesized sounds, and the constantly changing gestures of the robot on the side...

Lu Yongchang looked at everything in front of him in a daze.

The memory still lingers on the days when the tail docking plan was successfully implemented.

He lowered his head and moved his fingers slightly.

Su Yutong's body temperature seemed to still remain on his fingers.

But the time has come to 2620.

The span of 64 years gave Lu Yongchang an extremely complex sense of dislocation, followed by an unreal sense of illusion.

"Professor, please cooperate in answering this question. I need to confirm your mental condition."

Perhaps because he noticed that Lu Yongchang didn't reply for a long time, Zero's electronically synthesized voice instantly increased a bit.

Lu Yongchang shivered slightly, and his distracted eyes gradually gained a bit of life.

"Zero, are there any abnormalities in the direction of Proxima Centauri?"

After his mental state recovered slightly, Lu Yongchang remembered his original purpose of setting up the wake-up procedure.

The distance between the fleet and the Proxima Galaxy is so far that even light would take more than thirty years to complete this journey.

In order to ensure that all possible mutations were observed, before his second hibernation, he issued an order to Zero - to wake him up again when the human fleet was about to arrive in the Gliese 3929 star system.

Lu Yongchang struggled to move his somewhat stiff body and struggled to "float" out of the hibernation cabin.

Looking at some deep sea liquid floating in the air around him, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

After reaching the black hole and solving the superstring gravitational field equation, artificial gravity technology must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

But...what would a black hole look like?

Humans have never observed a black hole with the naked eye!

Perhaps because of his long hibernation, Lu Yongchang's thoughts seemed extremely jumping.

It only took less than a second for his mind to "fly" 95 light-years away.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the holographic image unfolding in front of him.

Until Zero's reminder sounded again, pulling his wandering thoughts back: "Professor, all observed phenomena have been sorted out."

…

After regaining consciousness, Lu Yongchang raised his hand and carefully read through the complicated observation data.

A full 64 years of continuous observation has produced an extremely large amount of data. Even if Zero has already carried out screening and streamlining work, it will still be a big workload to go through all this data.

[On March 26, 2588 in the Earth calendar, the target star system experienced abnormal conditions for the first time. 】

The highlighted text quickly attracted Lu Yongchang's attention.

Lu Yongchang moved his fingers slightly and called up the observation records of the optical telescope.

The holographic image screen instantly dimmed.

The boundless and illusory universe appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the picture is an extremely dim star.

Not far from its side, there are two planets with strong light and orbiting each other.

This is the Alpha Centauri triple star system.

Lu Yongchang did not pay attention to the two energetic binary star systems. He focused all his attention on the dim star in the center of the picture.

Time passes minute by minute.

Seeing that the progress bar was about to reach that critical node, he subconsciously held his breath.

Wow!

Suddenly, this dim, almost imperceptible star released an extremely brilliant light!

No! Wrong!

As the optical telescope continued to adjust, Lu Yongchang clearly observed that this extremely intense light appeared from the side of the star!

Because the two are so close, at first glance, it is easy to think of them as the powerful light emitted by Proxima Centauri!

This sudden flash of light reached its peak brightness in just three seconds!

It not only overshadows the nearby Proxima Centauri, but also overwhelms the Alpha Centauri binary star system not far away!

Even, its brightness exceeded that of the brightest star in the sky in a short period of time!

At this moment, the Proxima Galaxy became the most conspicuous presence in the starry sky!

As quickly as it comes, as quickly as it goes.

After a few seconds, the sudden flash of light gradually dimmed.

Proxima Centauri has gradually returned to its original inconspicuous appearance.

The observation record is over.

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath of the turbid air held in his lungs, and there was a bit of bitterness in his eyes.

"Is this the power of thirty two-dimensional fragments erupting at the same time..."

"Three seconds..."

"It only takes three seconds to transform a planet into two dimensions..."

Lu Yongchang murmured to himself with a bitter look on his face.

These are just some insignificant two-dimensional fragments of the painting.

If [paintings] were compared to humans, these two-dimensional fragments might be equivalent to some skin flakes.

But even so, the lethality it causes is beyond the reach of human civilization!

It was hard for him to imagine how powerful the complete [painting] was!

And what kind of means should the sweeper civilization that injured it have?

How majestic a war between two advanced civilizations should be!

With such doubts, Lu Yongchang waved his hand gently and put aside the optical observation screen in front of him.

His eyes turned to the rest of the data that were specially marked by zero.

Time passes bit by bit.

Every item of useless data was pushed aside by Lu Yongchang.

Suddenly, Lu Yongchang's movements suddenly stopped.

"Abnormal gravitational waves..."

Looking at the observation data in the holographic projection, Lu Yongchang felt a little hopeful in his heart.
Chapter completed!
