The last human in the universe

Chapter 214: Civilization Perishes
It wasn't until this outbreak passed that the chief executive officer and the cabinet members slowly recovered from the extreme comfort.

"Really exciting!"

"The type of outbreak this time is really rare in a thousand years. I don't know when it will happen next time."

"Tsk tsk, you still have to bask in the natural sun. The artificial ones don't feel good enough."

"Okay. Enjoyed it, it's time to go to work."

The chief executive sighed, got up, and slowly flew towards the flagship spaceship next to him by manipulating the thrusters.The cabinet members next to him hurriedly followed.

At this time, a spaceship that was thousands of kilometers away and had been waiting for several days was allowed to approach the flagship.After finally mooring the flagship, the director of the Moto Civilization Intelligence Department rushed towards the office of the consul.

This matter was too important and urgent, and he didn't dare to waste time at all.

Of course, no matter how important and urgent the matter was, he didn't dare to disturb the chief executive to bask in the sun, so he could only think of ways to save as much time as possible in the rest of the process.

"Master Consul, our space telescope array has observed a super-strong antimatter explosion in the direction where the Storm Civilization Fleet left the Jagged Nebula. The total equivalent of this explosion is estimated to be between 1890 billion and 2165 billion tons, covering the horizontal The cross-sectional area is as high as 106 billion square kilometers."

The lazy chief executive finally looked a little more serious.He scratched the hard scales on his body and took the information.

Looking at the image of the explosion displayed in the projected image, he fell into thinking.

About 2000 billion tons of antimatter is still not enough to support the interstellar migration and voyage of a complete third-level civilization.However, it is entirely possible that it was consumed in the early stage. The covered cross-sectional area of ​​106 billion square kilometers is about enough to deploy a fleet of a third-level civilization.

In this way, a conclusion can be easily drawn.

The fleet of Storm Civilization encountered some kind of irresistible external force after leaving the Jagged Nebula, which led to the destruction of the fleet.

In other words, the storm civilization has been destroyed at this moment.

Otherwise, how could there be so many antimatter explosions?
"Storm Civilization, Storm Civilization..."

The chief executive officer muttered, subconsciously flashing relevant information about this civilization in his mind.

The Moto galaxy where the Moto civilization is located is not adjacent to the Storm galaxy where the Storm civilization is located, but the distance is not too far, only about 6 light years.

There was no direct conflict between the two civilizations.However, looking at the records of civilized wars over the past thousands of years, the Chief Consul's evaluation of the strength of the Storm Civilization is slightly inferior to his own Moto Civilization, but the gap is not that big.If you really mobilize the power of the entire civilization to fight, the best result for your side is a miserable victory.

After all, there are too many influencing factors in actual combat, and no one can perfectly predict the direction of an all-out war.

But now, such a powerful third-level civilization... has been quietly destroyed.

However, besides the super civilization that constructed this "Civilized Colosseum", who else could destroy the Storm Civilization?
A little fear gradually grew in the chief executive officer's heart.

If the existence of that super civilization and the matter of the "Civilized Colosseum" were only speculative before, then now, the destruction of Storm Civilization has undoubtedly confirmed this matter.

This Iron-Blooded Nebula really cannot leave.

"I don't know what went crazy in Storm Civilization. Why do you have to leave when everything is fine. It's good to stay here, just hit it, anyway, it's a second person who dies."

"It's all right now. With this incident, the rest of the civilizations may not dare to leave."

The chief executive grunted and turned off the projection: "Okay, I see. You can go."

The head of the intelligence department respectfully left.And the Chief Executive Officer didn't intend to do anything extra for this information.

It's business as usual.Anyway, my own civilization never planned to leave here.

At this moment, the light carrying the information about the explosion that happened at the edge of the Iron-Blooded Nebula, this time comparable to the explosion of a super-bright star, is still running wildly in this vast universe at the speed of light.

Now, the H20 galaxy, more than 1 light-years away, is also picking up the light.

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle!
It's finally time to get off work.

In the vast space, at the construction site of Taiwei No. 46 passive interstellar particle collider, the engineers wearing spacesuits performing extravehicular operations breathed a sigh of relief, carefully began to gather tools, and prepared to return to the engineering ship to rest.

"This progress is too fast! Such a large collider, the construction period is only two years, this is exhausting!"

An engineer could not help but howl.

"Come on, don't complain, go back and rest quickly, you have to continue working tomorrow."

"Old Wang, if you don't want to do it, report to resign. Some people want to take your place."

"The money is enough, and it's worth the effort."

"That's right. Although the security housing is free, the environment is poor. These days, if you don't earn some money to buy a better house, even girls who go on a blind date will look down on them."

A group of engineers chatted casually while doing the finishing work.At this time, in the vast space, a bright star suddenly appeared.

This star is so bright that even in the pitch-black universe, the shadows of the engineers are clearly projected on the huge machinery behind them.

At this moment, all the engineers subconsciously closed their mouths.

It seems that something extraordinary has happened.

At the same time, on the surface of the planet, outside the space city, at the porthole of the spaceship, next to the roaring factory...

Countless people saw the appearance of this bright star at the same time.After just a few seconds, I witnessed its disappearance with my own eyes.

Appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.The universe once again returned to calm.

On the outside of planet H1-5, the number 10656 remote interstellar observatory, the observers were a little horrified to see that the lines on the display screen that were originally showing a flat appearance suddenly increased by thousands of points at this moment.After that, it began to fall back rapidly, and fell to the original height.

An extremely steep crest appeared.

This situation is very unusual.This means that a super strong electromagnetic wave radiation appeared in the direction of his observation.However, there is nothing in the direction of my own observation that can create such a fluctuating star.

Nova?Supernova?Astral collision?
nothing.

Could it be that an extreme physical process occurred in a more distant place, resulting in things like gamma-ray bursts and X-ray bursts?

It's not quite like it... Judging from the redshift, the radiation source that caused this radiation burst should be very close to our side.

It is as close as only more than 20 light-years, even a little closer than the Jagged Nebula.

There are no macroscopic stars at all.

too weird.

Observers immediately started further observations and calculations.

The data shows that for this outbreak, the absolute magnitude of the corresponding star was as high as -6.8. Converted from the absolute magnitude to the apparent magnitude at the current distance, it is also as high as -7.2, which is ten times brighter than Venus seen from the earth!
This level of brightness is even able to cast shadows visible to the naked eye on the surface of the planet!
He quickly sorted out the relevant observation data, and reported it according to the different reporting procedures for different levels of observation information.

At this moment, there are tens of thousands of other observation stations, interstellar reconnaissance satellites, scientific research ships, etc. reporting this information together with him.

After a comprehensive analysis, people quickly came to a conclusion.

This star is not actually a star.Based on various data analysis, it... is more like a man-made explosion.

The type should be positive and antimatter annihilation.

Once the distance is determined and the energy level of the explosion is determined, then it is easy to calculate how much antimatter participated in the explosion.

The conclusion made everyone feel a little shocked.

Simple calculations show that at least 1800 billion tons of antimatter participated in this explosion!
Counting the error, the real number may be bigger than this!
A full 1800 billion tons of antimatter!What an astonishing number.You must know that when the human fleet launched a long-distance voyage, it left redundancy, and directly doubled on this basis. As a result, the total amount of antimatter carried in the end was only more than a billion tons.

With these billions of tons of antimatter, the human fleet has traveled a distance of tens of light-years, and repeatedly accelerated, decelerated, and changed course several times on the way, and it has also supported all the consumption on the way. In the end, After arriving at the destination of the H1 galaxy, tens of millions of tons of antimatter were even saved in the fleet!
Which person, which force, which civilization set off this giant firework in space?What is the purpose?Why do you want to do this?
"It's not voluntary, I'm afraid. I can't think of any point in doing something like this if it's done voluntarily."

A member of the War Council first made a judgment, which was approved by all members.

Zhao Changxing also agreed with this conclusion.

"This amount of antimatter is enough to support a giant fleet for interstellar voyages. Huh? This number is about the same as the antimatter reserves required by a normal third-level civilization fleet for interstellar voyages in our calculation model." .”

Although there is some gap between the two, it is not an order of magnitude difference.Taking into account the previous consumption and calculation errors, the two can basically be considered equivalent.

Then the conclusion of the next step is easy to draw.

"A certain third-level civilization in the Iron-Blood Nebula, after learning that our human civilization has successfully left the Iron-Blood Nebula, and has not been destroyed by the speculated super civilization, also embarked on an interstellar voyage to leave the Iron-Blood Nebula, but , while leaving, encountered...destruction?"

In the conference room, the leaders of civilization and the members of the war committee fell into silence together.
