A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 323 The experimental flagship remained intact.

Brahma in the constellation Macadoca is approximately 3200 light-years from the home planet of the Prinkia civilization.

Brahma is the brightest blue dwarf star in the constellation Macadoca. It consists of two solid stars and one gas giant, forming a celestial system with a radius more than 60 times that of the solar system.

In the past, when the Pulinka people were still trapped on the surface of the earth by the gravity of their home planet, they relied on Brahma in the night sky to determine their location. This was a star that the Pulinka people had been looking up at since before they were completely freed from it.

Throughout the long history of the Pulinka people, there are also many myths and legends about Brahma.

Legend has it that Brahma Star is the residence of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, a place of boundless wealth and supreme power, and the final resting place for all souls.

Of course, such a legend is nothing but unrealistic and pointless fantasy.

But if the ancient Pulinka people, who believed in these myths and legends, could travel to the future and see what their future descendants are doing right now, they would probably be so shocked that their legs would go weak and they wouldn't be able to stand up.

The abode of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, a place containing endless wealth and supreme power, the home of all souls, is being demolished by their descendants.

A massive flagship of the Princau civilization, along with a fleet of engineering vessels, orbited the blindingly bright Brahma star. Huge pillars of fire rose from the surface of the blue dwarf, and massive amounts of stellar matter were extracted directly by the engineering vessels.

The extracted stellar material was cooled and then stored in the ship's hold by the engineering vessel.

Tama stood on the flagship's bridge, with the projected Brahma Star in front of her. Looking at the engineering ships in the projection, a hint of anxiety appeared on Tama's face.

She shifted the star chart to a more macroscopic perspective, and saw 'Death' expanding at faster-than-light speed, currently fifty light-years away from Brahma.

It is impossible to observe the 'extinction' of faster-than-light expansion with ordinary observation equipment.

But the Principe civilization had another way: they scattered a large number of sensors along the way. These sensors were one-time entangled state devices. When these sensors were covered and destroyed by 'annihilation', the entangled state of the particles collapsed, just like when a person walks on snow and leaves footprints. By observing these 'footprints', the speed at which the person walked on the snow could be calculated.

"All ships, report how much material have been collected?" Tamar asked in the fleet channel.

The engineering vessel replied: "The total capacity is currently three-quarters full, and only one-quarter remains to be filled."

Tamar replied, "The material gathering mission is terminated, so there's no need to reload. All ships should leave Brahma. At the current rate of advancement, 'Death' will reach our current location in half a planetary day."

With that, Tamar turned to his flagship and gave the order: "Attention all units on this ship, this ship will now enter unmanned mode and proceed in an orderly manner to dock with the auxiliary ship and disengage from the Brahma Star Test Site."

One by one, the spaceships disappeared from the Brahma system and entered a state of faster-than-light travel, leaving only the lonely flagship to continue orbiting Brahma.

Before long, powerful ripples of spacetime were released from the flagship. The hazy star wind, like clouds and mist, was pulled by a strong gravitational force and was distorted in a very obvious way, forming winding arcs.

If this flagship hadn't been constantly accelerating, continuously increasing its centrifugal force, it would have fallen into the star long ago due to the increase in its own gravity.

After about four revolutions, the flagship's exterior was no longer visible, replaced by a black film and a surrounding gravitational lens.

This flagship has become a black hole!

In the distance, amidst the glittering stars, the unseen 'death' is rapidly approaching Brahma!

……

Tama stood on the bridge of a secondary ship. She and the other crew members were all intently watching the holographic projection of the flagship. The information in this holographic projection came from the sensors they had placed throughout the flagship. If any part of the flagship was damaged, it would be reflected on this projection immediately. If the flagship was destroyed, the projection would also disappear without a trace, because the sensors would all be broken.

In addition to the flagship's projection, there is also a projection of 'annihilation,' in which the pace of 'annihilation' is unstoppable, sweeping everything away with overwhelming force, and the rate is increasing every moment.

...Three light-years...two light-years...one light-year...contact!

"Flagship model intact!"

"The flagship is undamaged!"

In an instant, the crew members excitedly embraced each other and even kissed, completely disregarding gender and shame, and the entire bridge was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

As the one in charge of the experiment, Tama breathed a sigh of relief. Influenced by the atmosphere on the bridge, even the meticulous Tama couldn't help but smile.

But now is not the time for her to relax, because there is still no concrete evidence to prove whether the black hole surrounding the flagship acted as a barrier to block the attack of 'annihilation' or to delay the attack of 'annihilation'.

If it's the latter, while it's not bad news for the Prinkia civilization, it's not exactly good news either.

The question now is whether this news is slightly good, moderately good, or extremely good.

If it's a favorable outcome in the end, then the Prinkia civilization will undoubtedly win, because they have found the enemy's weakness and can effectively adopt a counter-attack strategy.

Tamar stood on the bridge command platform and issued instructions in an orderly manner. In an instant, everyone on the bridge became excited and active.

"External protective structure of the test ship confirmed!"

"Experimental Ship External Protective Structure Report: No Damage!"

"Confirm the integrity of the test ship's engine assembly!"

"Test ship engine report: No damage, operating well!"

"Confirm the host system's operational status!"

"Host system report: System operating normally!"

"Confirmation of the test ship's detection and information equipment!"

"All information equipment reports: No damage, operating normally!"

……

One instruction after another was issued. After confirming that the test ship was operating without damage, Tamma gave the final instruction regarding the last piece of information concerning its internal condition.

"Launch the test ship's internal stored sensors to acquire current external information!"

"Understood, starting launch countdown!"

Brahma, a pitch-black black hole, is orbiting the sun, its immense gravity drawing out stellar matter like a pump.

The vast majority of stellar matter did not fall into this black hole, but instead orbited it, forming a very bright ring that even outshone the star's brightness.

Unlike a typical black hole, this is a fake black hole. Although it is spherical, it is only a thin layer, and the singularity is also in this thin layer. Beneath this black veil is a normal spacetime, and the flagship is perfectly intact in the center.
