It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

The command hall fell into dead silence.

Only two seconds of footage.

This UFO actually crossed such a long distance in just two seconds!

This astonishing flying speed seems to be announcing to humans the technological gap between the two!

"Gudu..."

Lu Yongchang swallowed lightly.

After swallowing the panic and shock in his heart, he took a deep breath: "Zero, roughly estimate its data based on the image ratio."

After a short waiting time, the estimated size of zero was presented to everyone.

【Diameter: 3000 kilometers】

[Quality: Insufficient data to estimate]

[Current speed: 0.5-0.8 times the speed of light]

[Maximum speed: Insufficient data, unable to estimate]

【…】

The data in front of him seemed like a pair of thick hands, ruthlessly strangling the throats of all the people present!

"This... this is impossible!" Cao Liangcai's terrified voice came from the side, "How can there be such a powerful man-made object!"

"3000 kilometers in diameter... this is about the size of the moon!!"

"Think about it, a moon accelerates to 0.5 times the speed of light in such a short period of time... This, this is too exaggerated!"

"It must be a miscalculation of zero!"

"Or, there is an error in the picture taken by the detector... Yes, it must be so!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible to have such an aircraft..."

Cao Liangcai's low voice echoed in the command center.

Lu Yongchang sighed softly, turned his head to look at Cao Liangcai whose face was full of horror, and slowly shook his head: "Old Cao, don't lie to yourself."

"The facts are in front of us."

"If there is no accident, our sun was probably lost by this object." Lu Yongchang lowered his eyes, hiding the horror in his eyes, "It absorbed 30% of the sun's mass and completed its mission .”

"Mission? What mission?!" Cao Liangcai panted heavily and asked in horror, "Destroy human civilization?"

"Not at all." Fang Xu's bitter voice sounded from the side.

"Probably, it's energy harvesting."

"If you want to destroy human beings, you don't need to use weapons of this level... No, maybe it's not a weapon."

"Collecting energy? Because of collecting energy, we have to..." Cao Liangcai broke away from the magnetic device on the seat excitedly.

Fortunately, with the fixation of the electromagnetic boots, he will not "fly" to the ceiling.

But the feeling of tugging at that moment was not pleasant.

Cao Liangcai exhaled a few hot breaths forcefully, suppressing the excitement in his heart due to panic.

"Sorry, I lost my temper." He lowered his eyes and apologized softly.

Then, as if he was discouraged, he sat back on his chair again.

"Click."

The sound of the magnetic suction device fitting together rang in everyone's ears.

Lu Yongchang shook his head with difficulty: "It's okay."

"Human feelings are understandable."

No one responded to his words.

Lu Yongchang didn't care about this small problem either.

As the chief scientist, he naturally knew how much this scene had dealt a blow to everyone present.

Thinking that human civilization was destroyed only because of a certain advanced civilization's energy harvesting device, Lu Yongchang felt a chill behind him.

He closed his eyes and whispered a word that came to mind.

"Destroy you, what does it have to do with you?"

Chapter 257 Human Fleet, Advance IV

In the following time, the atmosphere in the fleet seemed particularly oppressive.

For such a situation, Lu Yongchang has no good solution.

Not to mention those ordinary scientific researchers and starship pilots, even he himself finds it difficult to accept this reality.

The entire solar system was easily destroyed in the hands of an advanced civilization that had never met before.

a few days later.

A group of scientists discussed the attitude of this unknown advanced civilization towards human beings.

Needless to say, the discussion process highlights a confusion.

Some scientists believe that the purpose of this advanced civilization is only energy, and human civilization is just bad luck.

There are also many people who are against it.

The reason is also very simple.

The Milky Way does not know how many stars there are. There is no need for people to come to this remote corner and attack a small yellow dwarf.

The two groups were arguing until Lu Yongchang expressed his previous conjecture.

Conjectures about Voyager.

"You mean...the Voyagers exposed human information, which led to targeted strikes by advanced civilizations?"

Fang Xu frowned, shook his head and said, "But why did they choose this way to attack us?"

"Isn't this giving us a chance to escape?"

Lu Yongchang looked at Fang Xu with a strange expression on his face: "Are you sure?"

"According to our original development speed, is it possible for us to escape?"

The moment the voice fell, the meeting room fell into silence.

"In other words, can human civilization continue to exist when only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people have escaped?"

Lu Yongchang stood up from his seat and scanned the faces of the people with different expressions.

"I think that unknown advanced civilizations must have malicious intentions towards us."

"And the blows we have received must be targeted."

The moment the voice fell, there was a burst of noisy discussions in the conference room.

Lu Yongchang coughed hard, and said again: "It's just that, perhaps in order to save resources, or to recover costs, higher civilizations have chosen this inconspicuous means of attack."

"Of course, even then, it's not something we can afford."

"Then will we still be hit?" A voice sounded from the corner of the conference room.

Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

He is a scientific researcher who doesn't have much sense of presence.

Lu Yongchang was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't think so."

"The energy harvesting device has left, proving that in its logic, human beings cannot escape this disaster."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang shook his head with a wry smile: "I believe that these advanced civilizations are not so idle, they will stare at us little ants."

"So, everyone, take heart."

"Don't worry about the advanced civilization that we have never met. Our primary goal now is the Proxima Centauri civilization next door."

……

A month passed in a flash.

The human fleet has officially entered the Kuiper Belt.

[Luan bird signal detected]

In the holographic screen in front of the command center, a line of inspiring Chinese characters jumped out.

"Zero, go to the signal source!"

"Let's take them home!"

Standing on the podium, Lu Yongchang shouted with excitement in his eyes!

……

Kuiper belt somewhere.

The 1251 starships slowly slowed down.

In front of these starships, 380 Luanniao starships are quietly staying in the deep space!

"Zero, how is the status of the Luanniao starship?" As the distance from the Luanniao starship group got closer, Lu Yongchang's mood gradually became agitated.

He asked repeatedly: "How is the physical condition of the 38 billion human beings? Is the hibernation cabin damaged?"

As for zero, it is naturally one five ten, patiently answering Lu Yongchang's question.

"Professor, the overall condition of the Luanniao starship is good. Among them, the overall fuel remaining is 58%, and the number of detachable and recycled parts is..."

Lu Yongchang: "...Forget it, you should talk about the hibernation cabin and the situation of 38 billion human beings."

Zero's report stopped abruptly.

"Okay, Professor."

"The overall condition of the hibernation cabin is good. Within ten years, the failure rate of the hibernation cabin is 0.78%. However, thanks to the maintenance work of Yihe robots, as of now, there are only 38 deaths among the 16936 billion humans..."

With the sound of Zero's broadcast, all the statistical data in recent years appeared in front of him.

Looking at the cases of death due to various reasons in front of him, Lu Yongchang shook his head helplessly.

For a weak artificial intelligence like One, being able to control the death rate to this level is considered pretty good.

"Let's start receiving work." Lu Yongchang waved his hand, wanting to close the holographic image in front of him, "When everyone transfers to the [Homeland] ship, we can prepare to set off."

Holographic projections are not disappearing as usual.

"zero?"

"Professor." Zero's avatar appeared in front of Lu Yongchang, "The helium flash has already happened."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang couldn't help falling into silence.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the porthole.

"Professor, you still can't see the helium flash." Zero reminded softly.

"I know."

Lu Yongchang sighed lightly.

At this moment, his mood is extremely complicated.

There is a bit of sadness, but also a bit of rejoicing, and a bit of a sense of relief.

"Let's do it. In addition to transferring the hibernation cabin, remember to take away all the useful resources inside the 380 Luanniao."

"We don't have much time to waste."
