The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

Of course, there is an inherent logic to this. If we compare the prey in the dark forest to insects, the hunters can't possibly use their nuclear bombs to clean up the insects, right? It's more appropriate to use insecticides and pesticides.

One aspect of the Hessian Strike that wasn't mentioned in the original work is its efficiency. The Hessian Strike can efficiently and quickly wipe out civilizations within a star system; otherwise, it wouldn't have been widely used.

Whether it's a two-dimensional foil or light particles, they all cause direct destruction in a one-time event, not through any indirect means. That would be too complicated, and hunters don't have the time to do such things.

Speculations such as antimatter bombs and gravity bombs are either too far-fetched or inefficient.

The atomic component of Gliese 581 that was exploring the system has reached its destination.

There was no break in quantum entanglement, which means that the spacetime structure is still the same as before, which is a three-dimensional space. Lin Feng's original guess about the two-dimensional foil was thus proven false.

The high-temperature environment provided great convenience for the atomic submachines, which moved at high speeds between different substances, searching for traces left by the Trisolaran Second Fleet and the other combatant.

After confirming there was no danger, the other atomic units stationed in the nearby star system began to head towards the coordinates of Gliese 581 in order to explore all traces within the star system on a larger scale.

Star systems are so large that even with a vast number of atomic components, it's impossible to explore them all in a short time.

The operators of these atomic submachine guns were ordered by the Council of Ten to reduce their speed to a low scale and utilize the length contraction effect. After decades of searching, Lin Feng and his team should be able to get the news in no time.

The search ended quickly with no results; not even the black box of the Trisolaran Second Fleet was found.

The object is made of a strongly interacting material, and its outer shell is as sturdy as a water droplet. Ordinary attacks and collisions are useless against this black box; it cannot even leave a scratch.

Chapter 319 Such a huge star is gone

"It's possible that some hunter took it away."

Some people speculate that, although it is possible that it was destroyed along with the spaceship wreckage, this speculation is still put forward considering the worst-case scenario.

This guess naturally cannot win the approval of the vast majority of people.

"Don't forget where this place is. This is a broadcasting area. If a hunter enters here rashly, won't he be targeted by other hunters?"

"Perhaps the Black Forest strike was too powerful, destroying the black box along with it," someone optimistically remarked.

"What could have such power? Antimatter?" someone asked.

"Who knows, it should be related to the Black Forest attack."

After that, humanity made no further discoveries in the Gliese 581 region. There were no spaceship wreckages, no traces of civilization, and no evidence to prove that life had ever existed in this star system. All that remained was an accretionary cloud orbiting the star and high-energy pulses erupting from both ends of the star.

Gliese 581 is like a newborn star, with a very distant future ahead.

……

In exchange for information from Gliese 581's exploration, the Atoms successfully obtained the technologies of sophons and light-speed warp drives from the Trisolaran First Fleet.

The Council of Ten immediately dispatched a force of one billion people to colonize a nearby star system and then began the Sophon Project.

In addition, he assigned Vader to lead a billion people to other star systems in the vicinity to build humanity's first light-speed warp drive.

Not long after, Lin Feng learned from Liang Gong that the billion people who had been sent out to carry out the Sophon Project had encountered an alien civilization again, following their encounter with Sirius.

"Oh, another civilization?"

To be honest, Lin Feng felt that the density of civilizations in the universe was a bit too high.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. It was in a state of length contraction, which would have meant several decades had passed at a low speed scale.

Although the probability of encountering an alien civilization every few decades is quite high.

“This civilization is different from the previous one; its technology is more advanced than ours,” Ryougu said.

After thinking for a moment, a bold idea popped into Lin Feng's mind.

"...Can it steal technology?"

The enemy's technology is superior to that of humans and the Trisolarans. If they disguise themselves as ordinary atoms and infiltrate this civilization, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for them to acquire a large amount of technology and theoretical knowledge?

Lin Feng didn't believe that this alien civilization didn't have anything about education. Even if it was genetic material, atomic humans could drill into their bodies and read it.

The only difference is that the carriers and methods of knowledge transmission are different from those of humans; education is still education.

Ryouko replied regretfully, "It's impossible. Once the atomic sub-unit enters that region, it will lose its entangled state and become an ordinary iron atom."

She wanted to do the same, but it was impossible, because this unknown civilization, which resided in the star system they had chosen to colonize, could forcibly break the quantum entanglement, just like the sophon blind spot of the four-dimensional fragment.

The moment the atomic computer enters that area, the entangled state will break, unless the mainframe of the atomic beings is sent in, but this will undoubtedly increase the risk of human civilization being exposed.

"Where are their spaceships? Can't we sneak in?" Lin Feng asked again.

Ryoumi replied, "Their spaceship is in a similar situation. As soon as they enter, the atomic sub-units automatically break the entanglement."

"Let's broadcast their coordinates," Lin Feng said.

"Broadcast directly? Without communicating with them?" Liang Gong asked in surprise. She thought Lin Feng would suggest using the broadcast coordinates as a means of coercion to force this advanced civilization to transfer technology to human civilization. The other party was obviously still a civilization that had not yet escaped the dark forest.

Lin Feng said, "If we don't communicate, what's the point of communicating? Do you think they'll obediently hand over their complete technology? It's obviously impossible. Besides, their technology is more advanced than ours. Who can be sure exactly how advanced? Making contact rashly and letting them know we exist is very dangerous. What if they have a causal weapon that can destroy us just by its name?"

"Since we can't use it, let's broadcast the coordinates. It just so happens that we lack knowledge about the Black Forest strike."

Liang Gong agreed with Lin Feng's decision, and subsequently, the Council of Ten issued an order to broadcast the coordinates of that star.

Although the other civilization is more advanced than humanity, and human civilization cannot destroy them, there are plenty of people in the universe who could destroy this civilization.

Two light-years away on the outer edge of that star, a group of atomic sub-units responsible for monitoring the situation were discussing matters.

"The Council of Ten has decided to broadcast the coordinates of this civilization."

When do we evacuate?

"We won't evacuate; we have a new mission," the team leader in this group replied.

"Stay? What's next is the Black Forest strike, a terrifying disaster," a teammate warned.

The team leader explained, "We know too little about the Hessian strikes so far. We only know of one type: light particles. Judging from the search results of Gliese 581, there should be other types of strikes. We need to be bystanders and watch how this civilization is destroyed."

Anyway, these are just extensions, so it doesn't matter if they break down. If we can obtain intelligence on new types of attack methods, the probability of human civilization surviving in the universe will increase, which would be a win.

"Wait! Something's happened!"

"What's going on? There shouldn't be any announcements over there yet."

Under the observation of the atomic sub-computer, some spacecraft were seen moving around the entire star system, leaving dark trails.

The civilization within the star system reacted and tried to stop it, but it was too late.

These spaceships were divided into multiple groups and moved towards each other. In less than half a day, they used the dark trails they left behind to construct a cage that sealed off the entire star system.

Then these dark pillars spread out, completing the complete closure of the entire star system.

"This... interstellar war?!"

The Atomians, who witnessed the whole process, felt their worldviews were refreshed. They thought that interstellar wars should at least involve high-energy cannons and lasers, or at the very least, be colorful and full of explosive aesthetics, just like the scene of the human fleet's decisive battle against the Trisolaran droplet.

But what was happening before our eyes was like a war game; not a single spaceship had exploded.

The dark area is spreading, but the color has become much lighter.

The team leader, realizing what was happening, quickly roused his still-dazed teammates, "Get away from here! Don't fall in there! That's the wake of a light-speed warp drive!"

Although they weren't heartbroken about losing these atomic sub-units, the team leader wanted to know what might happen next, so they wanted to avoid losing these sub-units if possible.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark area spread further, but the color gradually lightened as it spread, revealing what lay beneath.

Then, the Atoms witnessed a scene that was completely incomprehensible to them.

"What happened? Where's the star? Such a huge star? And all those planets, the entire star system is gone?!"

An entire star system is gone.

Those ships that created the dark zone simply came here, enveloped it, and then the entire star system vanished...

The impact was like a mortal seeing a god.

The team leader hurriedly said, "You guys keep an eye on things for me, I'll report the situation here to the consortium immediately."

"it is good!"

……

Yet another civilization has been destroyed!

The news reached the Council of Ten and became known to all Atomists. Some were relieved, some were happy, and some were saddened.

Fortunately, they had long since hidden themselves away, avoiding direct confrontation with these overpowered civilizations. They were glad that they weren't the ones suffering; they were merely bystanders. Their sorrow stemmed from a sense of shared fate.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, was anxious and uneasy.

"Using the trajectory of a light-speed spaceship to construct a sealed-off dark prison, and then using unknown means to move the entire star system away... This doesn't seem like a normal Black Forest attack tactic."

"Could this be the prelude to some kind of storm?"

Not long after, Lin Feng received news that there were 82 other stars within a 50-light-year radius in the same situation as that star system.

Although the star system will disappear after being enveloped, the dark area will remain. By comparing it with the star map, it is easy to determine which stars have encountered similar situations.

Chapter 320 Arrogance is the biggest obstacle to survival

Ever since he learned that an advanced civilization had used the Dark Domain to build a prison and then used unknown methods to move the entire star system away, Lin Feng had been restless.

The reason is simple: this behavior does not conform to the principles of Hessian pest control. Hessian pest control is about clearing out insects, not catching them. Moreover, catching them once was not enough; they caught them eighty-two more times.

This is too suspicious. With the limited information available, Lin Feng couldn't analyze the purpose of that civilization's actions, but he was certain of one thing: that the other party had a need for a large amount of material.

What could possibly cause an advanced civilization to require such a large amount of resources?

After much thought, Lin Feng came up with two possibilities: one was for scientific research, and a very high-end scientific experiment at that, perhaps an experiment to verify the early environment of the Big Bang, or to find out how cosmic matter evolved from nothing to something.

The other is war, large-scale interstellar war.

The first one is fine, but the second one is a serious problem.

War is the easiest way to create 'accidents', and there is no strategy that is helpless against 'accidents'. 'Accidents' do not fall into the category of attacks. Attacks involve the subjective thoughts of living beings, but 'accidents' are purely physical effects.

Lin Feng contacted the Council of Ten and made his request directly.

"We are about to embark on a great migration and leave the Milky Way."

Lin Feng's direct and straightforward words made the council of ten realize Lin Feng's attitude towards the proposal he had put forward.

"Where to?" the Space Force representative asked.

“The open areas between river systems,” Lin Feng replied.
