Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

"Perhaps this is a natural technological barrier. Only civilizations that have reached a certain level of technology can discover this network and connect to it, and then truly enter the Silver Alliance system?"

Han Yang felt slightly uneasy.

Because he discovered that he had no understanding of the situation in the galaxy at all.

I thought that everyone had no understanding and were all on the same level, so that didn't matter. At this moment, I suddenly discovered that I was the only one who didn't understand.

It's like an ancient human came to modern society and saw that everyone was in a hurry and had little communication. He mistakenly thought that people in the world were not closely connected and information flow was not fast.

Most people, like themselves, have no understanding of the world as a whole.

But after development, this ancient man suddenly discovered that the truth was not actually the case. The truth is that every modern human being has a mobile phone as a terminal, connected to an invisible communication network.

A huge amount of information flows on this network, including national events, social hot spots, business information, international situations, and so on. There are even people who may be planning things that are detrimental to themselves through this network.

But I don’t have a terminal, I can’t connect to this network, I can’t receive any information!

What is the difference between this and blindness?

This means extremely serious information lag and blockade, which also means huge hidden dangers and threats.

"Go all out to figure out this discovery and confirm whether this network exists. If it does exist, then we must go all out to develop a connection terminal as quickly as possible to connect to this network!

We must figure out the true relationship between civilizations as quickly as possible, figure out the current situation of the galaxy, and figure out the external environment of human civilization. Only in this way can the safety of civilization be ensured! "

Han Yang made up his mind.

Just when the Academy of Human Sciences organized experts from relevant disciplines to work hard on the problem, another thing that was beyond Han Yang's expectation happened.

A detection satellite more than twenty light-years away reported some strange and incomprehensible things to Han Yang.

That satellite is one of the deep space exploration networks of human civilization. Its regular mission is to continuously photograph the surrounding starry sky and search for possible suspicious targets.

Han Yang was very shocked to see through this satellite that the starry sky around it began to twist and rotate incomprehensibly at this moment.

Thousands of stars began to twinkle, disappearing and appearing. The light of stars has also undergone some changes. The original red stars seem to have turned white at this moment, and some have turned blue, yellow, or even green.

Some stars will also move very quickly in the sky, so fast that they even leave afterimages, like a lightsaber.

Some stars were here one moment, and appeared in another direction in the sky the next, as if they had teleported.

The entire universe was in chaos at this moment. Just like someone was stirring a bucket of water with a stick, all the tangible and intangible existences in the bucket were followed by indescribable and unimaginable chaos.

However, the universe captured by a satellite farther away is still calm.

The stars quietly release their light, and nothing in the universe is abnormal.

Even the starry sky seen by people on the earth is normal.

Han Yang thought for a moment and understood immediately.

This is not a universe-wide anomaly. Instead, some kind of anomaly occurred more than twenty light years away from the earth. This anomaly changed the propagation path of light, causing unimaginable changes in the starry sky captured by the satellite.

And light travels at the speed of light. Places that are too far away, such as the Earth, will still see the normal light in the past.

The light carrying those abnormalities has not yet reached the earth.

Therefore, at this moment, only this satellite, which is more than 20 light years away from the earth, has captured these anomalies. Because it is closest to where the anomaly occurred.

Han Yang's heart was filled with solemnity.

He didn't know what exactly happened there, and he had no way of knowing what means were needed to cause such anomalies.

At least he couldn't find this possibility in the knowledge he already had.

He didn't know what this abnormality meant.

Is it some kind of natural phenomenon that I don't know about? Natural physical process? Or are some powerful beings with super technology conducting an experiment here? A certain war?

Or... is it some kind of conspiracy against humans?

Han Yang had no idea.

He had no way of influencing it. The only thing he could do was wait quietly.

With no one aware of this and only Han Yang knowing about it, three days passed slowly. Occurring more than twenty light-years away from the earth, covering the area of ​​the V1054 Ophiuchus galaxy, the incomprehensible anomaly finally slowly disappeared.

The universe gradually returned to calm. The stars reappeared and returned to their original places. Their glow also returned to normal, returning to a color that matched their size and mass.

Everything is exactly the same as before. Except for one thing.

Han Yang saw that the five stars that made up the V1054 Ophiuchus galaxy disappeared.

This galaxy is a pentastar system with five red dwarf stars orbiting each other. But now, they are gone, out of sight.

The total mass of these five stars, including the rest of the matter in the galaxy, is about 1.4 times that of the sun.

But so much mass disappeared from the universe quietly at this moment, and I don’t know where it went.

Did it really disappear, or was it just invisible?

Does this abnormal change that occurred around the V1054 Ophiuchus galaxy have anything to do with humans and the solar system?

Han Yang felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

The human fleet closest to this galaxy at the moment is an interstellar trade fleet heading to the Yuanshan Galaxy. It is currently in a state of inertial navigation, and the distance is about 2.3 light-years.

Han Yang decisively issued an order, requiring the main body of the fleet to continue to maintain inertial navigation. Among them, a total of 10 warships undertaking escort missions carried relevant observation equipment, directly adopted unmanned navigation mode, began to slow down, and diverted to Ophiuchus V1054.

After several years of deceleration maneuvers, this small fleet finally arrived at the coordinates of the galaxy.

At this moment, the light carrying the changes in this star field also traveled at the speed of light for several years, spread over a distance of several light years, and was observed by countless detection equipment.

This cannot be concealed, after all, there are too many detection devices. However, under Han Yang's deliberate control, these changes did not cause too many ripples in society. People just regard it as some kind of wonderful natural phenomenon.

Only those at the top of human civilization truly know the true meaning of this mutation and its potential threats.

At this moment, the first fleet after the incident finally arrived at the scene.

What appeared in front of Han Yang was a pure, dark, and peaceful space.

Thousands of stars shine in the vast space, and everything is no different from other places.

But there should have been five stars here... Surrounding these five stars, there are also a large number of large planets, gaseous planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, interstellar dust...

At this moment, they all disappeared, as if they had never existed at all.

Han Yang even doubted whether such a star system really did not exist here. Are all past observational data false?

But...the other star closest to the V1054 Ophiuchi galaxy has a slightly abnormal orbit around the core of the Milky Way compared with the past.

This abnormality was very small, but it was still noticed by Han Yang.

The reason for this abnormality was also very simple, and it was quickly confirmed by Han Yang.

The gravitational relationship changes.

Originally, there were five stars, V1054 Ophiuchi, with a total mass of up to 1.4 times that of the sun. Affected by this, the orbit of that star had a certain shape. At this moment, these five stars disappeared, and the orbit of that star became another shape.

The difference between the two different orbits shows the numerical value of the change in the gravitational relationship. By inferring this value, it can be clearly calculated that not long ago, there were indeed five stars in this star field.

After exploring this star field for several years and confirming that nothing was left in this star field, Han Yang gave up on further exploration and took back most of the computing power allocated here, leaving only I put in a little bit of computing power and continued to monitor.

But the doubts and solemnity in his heart never disappeared.

The unknown is the most frightening thing. At this moment, apart from figuring out what the anomalies here are, he doesn't even know whether these anomalies are malicious to humans.

"Create a long-distance communication network terminal and truly connect it to the network. Once I have information about the composition of the forces in the galaxy, maybe I can figure out this matter."

Han Yang gathered his thoughts and once again devoted himself to the research and development of long-distance communication terminals.

Time passed by in a hurry, and several years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the terminal test model was successfully developed, and human civilization received data from this quantum network for the first time. Although it could not be analyzed, it was confirmed that the data was not naturally formed.

This obviously means that my previous guess is true: the advanced civilizations in the galaxy are indeed communicating with each other through this quantum network.

Several years later, iteration reached the seventh generation. As the deciphering work progressed, Han Yang finally created a terminal device that could successfully parse the data in the communication network.

Under the joint gaze of several ruling members, the terminal equipment was activated. Information from other civilizations poured into the device in an instant and was displayed to the top human beings. (End of chapter)
