Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 333 Silicon-Based Cataclysm
At this moment, the light emitted by this sphere with a radius of only 20 meters illuminated this star field like a star, enveloping all of Li Qingsong's warships and spaceships, including that flying star, in a layer of soft blue.

Even Li Qingsong stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the sight of the sphere.

He knew exactly what the sphere was made of.

It is made up of the spaceships and warships that it has painstakingly built!

Including the approximately 40 warships that "defected," the total number of manned spaceships previously on the battlefield was around 80.

In addition to numerous unmanned warships, satellites, and other combat facilities, the total mass of these facilities is approximately 100 billion tons.

At this moment, due to the inexplicably strong gravity that appeared earlier, all the participating creations within the entire battlefield area, regardless of what they were before, were attracted to the core of the battlefield. Then, under the action of this strong gravity, they were forcibly kneaded together and became this huge sphere.

Its radius is only about 20 meters, and its total volume is only about 3.35 cubic meters, but its mass is a full 100 billion tons!

The average mass per cubic meter is about 30 tons, which is 6 times the average density of the Earth!
Such a high density of matter was something Li Qingsong couldn't create even in his most advanced high-pressure laboratory. And yet, this surreal sphere appeared in space.

The next moment, the sphere exploded in Li Qingsong's sight.

All the mass that makes up this sphere explodes at this moment due to the immense internal pressure, turning into the most basic microscopic particles, which then sweep across all surrounding star fields at a speed of thousands of kilometers per second.

As it exploded, the super-strong gravitational field that had enveloped the surrounding space also vanished instantly.

Or perhaps... it was precisely because this super-strong gravitational field disappeared that it exploded?

After all, given its own mass, it would be impossible to maintain such a high density without external force.

It's like if Li Qingsong had a way to cut a piece of matter from a white dwarf or neutron star, the matter from the white dwarf or neutron star would explode once it left the star's gravitational field.

Without hesitation, Li Qingsong immediately manipulated all his own creations to activate the energy shield at its highest power.

The energy shield, operating at full power, blocked the intense radiation that was like a violent storm.

A few seconds later, everything returned to calm, and the space became quiet again.

Thousands of stars twinkled in space, the universe was dark, vast and tranquil, as if nothing had ever happened.

But Li Qingsong knew that everything was different from before.

The more than 80 warships that originally belonged to them, along with an even greater number of unmanned combat facilities, have been transformed into heavy nuclear radiation particles and interstellar dust, completely dissipating into the vast expanse of space.

With the disappearance of these things, no more ships in our fleet "defected".

A sudden realization flashed through Li Qingsong's mind.

Perhaps... this unknown gravitational civilization came precisely to eliminate those unknown life forms or phenomena that could cause its warships to defect?

If that's the case, they must have meant well.

Li Qingsong did not act rashly, but remained fully vigilant and waited silently.

Sure enough, not long after, accompanied by another wave of spatial fluctuations like ripples on water, a fleet of thousands of ships of various sizes appeared out of thin air, only a million kilometers away from Li Qingsong.

"This is the fleet of the Gravity Civilization?"

Li Qingsong's heart grew increasingly heavy. The power of the Gravity Civilization had far exceeded Li Qingsong's imagination.

It's not just their previously demonstrated ability to travel faster than the speed of light.

Their single attack destroyed over 800,000 of our warships. Faced with such a civilization, we had virtually no chance of fighting back.

Everything I was so proud of was insignificant in the face of such a civilization.

Along with the appearance of the fleet, an electromagnetic signal was sent. After a brief analysis, Li Qingsong saw that the message contained a complete dictionary and a piece of specially marked data.

This dictionary is clearly intended for me to analyze their language and script. That specially marked data must be the message they want to send me.

The analysis was completed in a short time, and the information was finally translated into a language that Li Qingsong could understand.

"Greetings, esteemed traveler. We are a subordinate civilization of the Crimson Star Alliance."

Two thousand years ago, we discovered a silicon-based natural disaster wandering near this star system, posing a serious threat to its security. Our fleet was dispatched to attempt to eliminate it, but we have been unable to pinpoint its coordinates.

More than a decade ago, our side detected an interstellar war breaking out in this star system, the type of which matched the characteristics of a silicon-based natural disaster. We then used faster-than-light travel to get there. Fortunately, the distance wasn't too far, allowing us to arrive in time and preventing the silicon-based natural disaster from causing greater damage.

As for your warships and spaceships affected by the disaster, as well as those technological creations 'parasitized' by the silicon-based catastrophe, we are powerless to save them and can only destroy them along with the silicon-based catastrophe. We sincerely apologize for the losses caused to you as a result.

Now, this silicon-based catastrophe has been completely wiped out by our 'high-power gravity cluster bombs,' you are safe, and we have finally completed our mission and can return to the Alliance.

Have a safe and pleasant journey ahead. Goodbye.

By the way, a friendly reminder: this star system may not be safe for the next few thousand years. If possible, please leave as soon as possible, at least to a distance of 2000 light-years.

In space, the area where the unknown fleet was located rippled once more. And this... seemed to be a sign that their fleet was about to embark on faster-than-light travel?

And what about the silicon-based natural disasters or parasitism mentioned in the language of this unknown civilization?

What he encountered was not some unknown phenomenon, but some kind of creature called the Silicon-Based Cataclysm? This creature's so-called "parasitism" was the culprit that caused his spaceships to "come alive" and then "defect"?

And what exactly is the Crimson Star Alliance?
Why was this region of the star system not safe for the next few thousand years? Is this related to the Purple Moon civilization's urgent voyage?

This is clearly a benevolent civilization. If this benevolent civilization hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have already been wiped out by that silicon-based catastrophe.

As for the lost warships, they were all remotely controlled anyway, so they were nothing compared to the main fleet.

Perhaps I can take this opportunity to try and communicate with this advanced civilization? Maybe I can obtain some information that is of vital importance to me.

Li Qingsong immediately edited a message and sent it: "Respected advanced civilization, thank you for rescuing us."

If it weren't for your timely intervention, we might have already been wiped out by the silicon-based natural disaster.

Regarding your mention of silicon-based natural disasters, parasites, and the Red Star Alliance, what happened in this region of the star system? Why has it been relatively unsafe for thousands of years?

We are not quite clear about this, and we wonder if you could clarify things for us? If so, we would be extremely grateful.

If we possess any intelligence that may be of interest to you, please let us know; we will not conceal anything.
