Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

Chen Wang fell silent again.

This time, the silence lasted for nearly ten seconds.

"Thirty...thirty? Are you sure?"

"A conservative estimate."

Chen Wang's breathing became noticeably heavier.

He knew all too well what that number meant.

The Great Xia Kingdom now only has Lin Tian as a quasar, yet he is already capable of crushing the elite main force of the four-nation alliance into pieces.

If there are thirty quasars, then the outcome of the entire cosmic battle for supremacy is no longer in doubt.

Forget about preserving the five permanent members of the UN Security Council; the world will be without five permanent members by then!

The Great Xia Kingdom itself is the only constant!

What level are other countries at that that they dare to compare themselves to the Great Xia Kingdom?

"I'll report to my superiors right away." Chen Wang's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "Do you need any support on your end?"

"I want the entire Black Hole Legion to take turns coming here to devour dark matter, with each person equipped with at least three 10 billion-year acceleration cards, so that their black holes can grow at the fastest speed."

"Three 10 billion-year acceleration cards? Thirty-four people would be over a hundred cards..." Chen Wang paused, then replied decisively, "Okay! I'll take care of it for you right away! The country lacks many things right now, but it doesn't lack things like getting things done for you!"

After the communication ended, Lin Tian said to Su Li and Lu Xuejian, "You two stay here and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive."

Su Li was taken aback for a moment: "And what about you?"

"I'll go inside and take a look." Lin Tian's gaze turned towards the core of the dark matter halo. "During the battle just now, my gravitational field detected something."

"What is it?" Su Li's curiosity was immediately piqued. "Ancient ruins? Another one from the Ayers?"

"I'm not sure." Lin Tian shook his head. "But the gravitational wave signal in that direction is very abnormal; it doesn't seem like the fluctuations of a natural celestial body."

Lu Xuejian was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Be careful."

"Um."

Su Li originally wanted to say a few words of advice, but then she thought that this guy could even eat antimatter bombs as snacks, so there didn't seem to be anything to worry about.

So she switched to a cheerful tone: "Then hurry back! You're not allowed to renege on your debt to me for the meal!"

Lin Tian's voice carried a rare hint of amusement: "I understand."

……

Primordial quasars began to move toward the core region of the dark matter halo.

The deeper you go, the higher the density of dark matter becomes.

Two thousand times.

Three thousand times.

Five thousand times.

Eight thousand times.

……

By the time they reached the core region, the density of dark matter had soared to more than ten thousand times that of the standard star sector.

At this density, an ordinary star would have been torn to pieces by gravitational tides long ago.

But for Lin Tian's quasar, this was merely a slightly thicker source of nourishment.

His gravitational field swept across the area, and dark matter along the way was continuously drawn into the accretion disk, becoming part of the mass of the primordial quasar.

However, Lin Tian did not pay attention to these dark matter.

His attention was completely focused on the increasingly clear gravitational wave signal ahead.

Finally, Lin Tian "saw" it.

It was an enormous hexagonal pillar.

It floats at the very core of the dark matter halo, like a giant ship sunk at the bottom of the sea.

It is approximately 3,000 kilometers long and has a cross-sectional diameter of about 1,200 kilometers.

Compared to dark matter collection stations, this hexagonal pillar is much smaller in volume, but its gravitational signature signal is incredibly dense.

"What is this thing?"

Lin Tian adjusted the precision of the gravitational field to its limit and soon discovered something different.

The internal structure of the hexagonal column is very complex.

At its center is a spherical chamber with a diameter of about 1,000 kilometers, the surface of which is covered with densely packed gravitational waveguides, like a hollow sphere woven with light.

The arrangement of those guides is extremely sophisticated.

The bending angle of each guide, the position of the intersection, and the spacing between them are all so precise that it is outrageous.

This is by no means an ordinary engineering structure.

"Gravitational waveguide..."

Lin Tian silently pondered this word in his mind.

He immediately understood!

This structure... it's transmitting gravitational waves!

"Transmitting gravitational waves... So, could this be a gravitational wave relay station for the Ayers?"

What is a gravitational wave relay station?

Simply put, the Ayrs have laid out a vast network of gravitational arrays in the universe for cosmic communication and energy transfer.

Dark matter collection stations are one of the terminal nodes of this network, responsible for collecting resources and providing energy.

To construct this network, a sufficient number of "nodes" must be deployed in outer space.

This is similar to how after humans build power plants, they still need high-voltage transmission lines and substations to deliver electricity to every household.

The gravitational wave relay station is the substation of the Ayers family gravitational network.

It is responsible for transmitting gravitational wave signals on an interstellar scale, connecting countless collection stations into an organic whole.

"As expected of the Ayers... Only they could have built such a massive project."

The Ayers' gravitational array network covers a vast expanse of space, connecting at least a thousand dark matter collection stations alone.

To maintain such a massive network, relay stations are certainly indispensable.

"Since it's a relay station, it must have a database. Maybe we can find some good stuff."

Lin Tian had not forgotten the information he had collected from the database of the dark matter collection station.

Although the information was limited, it provided him with the coordinates of a quasar incubation site!

Without that incubator, if Lin Tian were to grow by absorbing dark matter step by step, even with the acceleration card, it would take at least several years for him to grow into a quasar!

Putting his thoughts aside, Lin Tian activated the gravitational field again to investigate and quickly made a discovery.

In the very center of the cabin, a cube identical to the data collection station's database floats.

Without a doubt, this is the relay station's database.

He immediately covered the database with a gravitational field and connected his consciousness to it.

Then, lines of translated text appeared before my eyes.

[Ayers Gravitational Wave Relay Station - Number: Third Relay Station in the Milky Way]

[Network Affiliation: Galaxy Gravitational Array, Level 1]

[Coverage range: approximately 4,200 light-years]

[Status: Hibernating]

Milky Way.

Upon seeing this, Lin Tian's gaze sharpened slightly.

Indeed, the footprints of the Ayers were extremely extensive.

Their gravitational array network is a mega-project spanning the entire Milky Way galaxy.

He continued scrolling down.

The database stores far more information than the collection site, with the catalog alone divided into dozens of major categories.

Communication protocols, energy allocation algorithms, gravitational wave modulation schemes, spacetime topology optimization theory...

Each of these represents the core technological accumulation of the Ayrs in the field of gravity manipulation.

"Huh, what's this?"

Soon, Lin Tian made a surprising discovery.

This is a document, a document labeled "Gravity Array Technology Drawings".

He immediately opened the file, and an extremely complex structural diagram appeared on the holographic screen.

"This is... the design blueprint for a gravity array?!"
