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

And the 380 Luanniao starships turned into a piece of space junk, floating in the open space.

Within the 【Earth Number】.

Lu Yongchang stood in front of his hibernation cabin, and turned his head to look at the porthole beside him again.

Goodbye, solar system.

After saying hello from the bottom of his heart, he turned his head and entered the hibernation cabin without hesitation.

'Zero, accelerate at full speed and head towards Proxima Centauri! '

Through the brain wave reading device, Lu Yongchang issued his last order.

A slight tingling sensation came from the arm.

The eyelids gradually became heavy.

He slowly closed his eyes as one last thought flashed through his mind.

I don't know what kind of challenges human civilization will face when it wakes up again...

【Hibernate successfully】

On the holographic projection outside the hibernation cabin, a line of Chinese characters flashed.

[Human fleet, advance four! 】

The extremely powerful thrust came from the Hall thruster, pushing the fleet to go out of the solar system!

Under continuous acceleration, the maximum speed of the fleet will reach 10% of the speed of light.

Count the acceleration and deceleration times...

Estimated time of arrival at Proxima Centauri: Earth calendar 2146

Solar System, END

Chapter 258 "Level [-] Abnormal Situation"

Earth Calendar, 2096.

50 years have passed since the human fleet left the solar system.

In the empty universe between the solar system and the neighboring galaxies, a large fleet of 1251 starships "slowly" drifts at a speed of 10% of the speed of light.

Occasionally, there would be a faint glow from the tail of the starship, and then it would quickly fade away.

That is the light produced by the intermittent operation of Hall thrusters.

Although the space between galaxies is extremely empty, there is still a rare amount of interstellar dust and gas.

For a starship with a speed of 10% of the speed of light, these extremely thin interstellar matter will still produce considerable resistance.

Therefore, under the premise of saving energy as much as possible, Zero can only control the Hall thrusters of all starships to perform irregular intermittent injection.

Just as the fleet was heading towards its destination, several detectors sent an alarm to the flagship [Earth].

A few seconds later, several large radio telescopes set up outside the starship [Earth] quietly changed their angle, and pointed their lens at a dim star in front of them—Proxima Centauri.

……

【Earth】Inside.

Central Supercomputing Center.

In the dim cabin, there are dots of lights flickering everywhere.

The hum of the cooling system's work filled the cabin.

A warning red light suddenly appeared in a corner of the supercomputing center.

【Anomaly detected! 】

[Classification of the situation in progress...]

【mistake!The current situation is not a scheduled event! 】

【warn!warn!Level [-] Abnormal Situation! 】

Red light instantly flooded the entire supercomputing center!

【Executing the wake-up procedure...】

[Wake up personnel: ...]

……

A rush of sirens rang in Lu Yongchang's ears.

Perhaps because of the long-term hibernation, the siren sound is particularly ethereal, making people feel unreal.

"Professor Lu..."

"Professor Lu, something is wrong with Proxima Centauri!"

Under repeated prompt reminders, Lu Yongchang's consciousness gradually returned, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He subconsciously took a breath.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The deep sea fluid left in his lungs instantly made him realize the dangers of the world.

Coughing, he reached out and pulled off his mask.

With an itchy feeling coming from the trachea, he pulled out a long white catheter from his nasal cavity.

After a severe cough, Lu Yongchang finally recovered.

Enduring the discomfort from his abdomen, he climbed out of the hibernation cabin.

Zero's avatar stood in front of the hibernation cabin, looking at him respectfully.

"zero?"

"What time is it, have we... arrived at our destination?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Yongchang was taken aback by his extremely hoarse voice.

"Professor, it is currently August 2096, 8 in the Earth's calendar."

"2096?" Lu Yongchang frowned instantly.

According to the scheduled plan, they will arrive at their destination in 2146 in the Earth's calendar, but now, the awakening time is 50 years earlier!

As the waking time got longer and longer, his consciousness gradually became clearer.

He noticed a flickering red light around him.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, his complexion changed drastically: "Zero, what happened?!"

The red light is flashing, coupled with early awakening...

Lu Yongchang instantly realized the reason why he was awakened.

【Level [-] Abnormal Situation】

In Lu Yongchang's setting, only when this level of abnormality occurs, will he be awakened in advance.

As for what is a first-level abnormal condition...

It's very simple. When encountering an alien fleet, the hibernation capsule fails on a large scale, or the fleet loses more than 10% of its starships in a short period of time...

To sum up, in one sentence.

Only a situation that may lead to the extinction of human civilization is considered a first-level abnormal situation.

At this moment, countless bad thoughts flashed through Lu Yongchang's mind.

"Professor, it's the Proxima Centauri civilization." Ling said while launching a holographic projection in front of Lu Yongchang.

"The latest observations show that Proxima Centauri seems to have undergone a series of abnormal changes."

Lu Yongchang reached out and slid the projection interface, and briefly browsed all the observation data.

"This……"

……

a few hours later.

【Earth】command center.

"Everyone, the situation is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense."

Lu Yongchang stood solemnly in front of everyone, and reached out to open the huge holographic projection on the side.

"Our destination, Proxima Centauri, also encountered a situation similar to ours."

While speaking, he pointed to the right side of the projection: "Here are the latest observation results about Proxima Centauri."

"And on the left, the observations made 50 years ago."

"Everyone can clearly see that within 50 years, the brightness of Proxima Centauri has dropped by a notch."

"According to zero calculations, according to the current speed, in about 120-150 years, Proxima Centauri will die and become a black dwarf that only exists in theory."

After the words fell, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"How could this be..." Fang Xu looked at the holographic image in front of him with an ugly face, "Like us, is there an energy harvesting device of advanced civilization in Proxima Centauri?"

Lu Yongchang nodded silently.

"This should be."

"Actually, this is also an expected result."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply: "Since the information we send can be detected by advanced civilizations, there is no reason why the Proxima civilization can escape this blow."

"This also just verified the correctness of the dark forest law for us."

Fang Xu's face became more and more ugly: "Then what should we do now?"

"Still going to Proxima Centauri?"

Originally thought that after escaping from the solar system, what greeted human beings was a star system suitable for long-term habitation and development.

But who would have thought that it was a star system that was sentenced to death with a reprieve!

"of course."

Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lu Yongchang replied without hesitation.

This answer also stunned everyone present.

"Let me talk about the most fundamental reason first." Lu Yongchang smiled wryly and shook his head, "Our supplies are not enough."

"Although there are still a lot of survival supplies, our fuel and replacement parts only allow us to go to the nearest Proxima Centauri."

The crowd fell silent.

This is also the biggest pain point of human civilization at present.

"So, we still have to compete with the Proxima Centauri for that dying star?" Fang Xu sighed forcefully and said softly.

"good."

Feeling the heavy atmosphere in the command center, Lv Yongchang took a deep breath and applauded lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Of course, there is also good news... To be precise, it is half good news."

Chapter 259 Going both ways?

"The Proxima Centauri is not like the sun, at least it will not have a helium flash, and we don't need to be exhausted."

"In the Proxima Galaxy, there are not only solid planets suitable for living, but also a gas giant planet. Even if the Proxima Centauri goes out, we can still get an excellent opportunity for development."

"This is the first good news."

"As for the other half of the good news..."

"Maybe, when we arrive, the Proxima Centauri civilization has already fled."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang's face suddenly turned a little weird, "Besides, their escape choice is most likely the solar system."

Fang Xu: "..."

Cao Liangcai: "..."
