The Supreme Council of Human Civilization is debating whether to follow the lure of the Three-Eyed Civilization to raid the high-level mining ship of Palasse in Shield β235.

Although Fang Yuan prefers to take the initiative, the specific actions still need to be carefully analyzed.

Due to Fang Yuan's insistence on taking the initiative, the vast majority of the members of the Supreme Council also agreed.

However, there are still different voices in the Supreme Council.

The presence of different voices is a benign phenomenon.

Fang Yuan was willing to listen to these different voices, provided that he could convince himself.

"Will the raid on the mining ships of the Palese civilization lead to more violent retaliation from the Palese civilization? We were lucky enough to cut off the route of the Third Fleet of Pegasus, but one thing to admit is that humanity is not yet able to compete with the main force of the Palasse like the Third Fleet of Pegasus. It is obviously not a good phenomenon to provoke the Palesian civilization. ”

In the Supreme Council, there were different voices.

This objection is actually very reasonable, and the raid on the mining ship of the Palasse civilization will indeed anger the other party, but if you want to accelerate the leap of civilization technology, you really need to take this risk.

"In fact, we have long provoked the Palasse civilization, and now it is impossible to hide and develop slowly. We are not born wolves, but in a universe surrounded by powerful enemies, even rabbits have to learn to bite. It's all at this time, and it's not possible to get forgiveness from the Palese civilization by kneeling. Another different voice and the former began to argue.

At a time when the Supreme Council of Mankind is debating whether or not to continue to provoke the Palesian civilization.

Upheaval in a galaxy 49 light-years away.

Under normal circumstances, humanity would not have known about this upheaval.

Because, if you want to observe the upheaval of a star 49 light-years away, you will need to wait until 49 years later, when the star's light reaches Earth.

However, by that time, there was no need to look at it.

It can't be observed by humans, but it can be observed by the Carbon-Based Alliance.

Lang Xiaonian was called out, and three minutes later, he hurriedly ran back to the venue, and said with a nervous expression: "Three minutes ago, we received a crisis reminder from the photosynthetic civilization.

"The 61 star system in the constellation Virgo, 49 light-years away, was destroyed, and a gamma-ray burst erupted, heading towards the solar system."

Wow!

Hearing the news, the scene was in an uproar.

Not everyone is clear about what this news means, though.

"Is the message confirmed? How is this possible, and why would a galaxy suddenly be destroyed? An astrophysics professor asked with a pale face.

The more physicists there are, the more aware of the terrible consequences of the destruction of a star 49 light-years away.

"The danger warning comes from the photosynthetic civilization and has a high degree of credibility."

"But 49 light-years away, how much of a threat does it pose to humanity?" Not all of the attendees were well-versed in physics, so some wondered about the threat posed by the news.

"According to scientific research, the earth was hit by a high-energy "gamma-ray burst" 500 million years ago, but it caused a mass extinction of invertebrates......

A professor of astrophysics explained the terrifying power of gamma-ray bursts with a solemn expression: "A gamma-ray burst is equivalent to the sum of the energy emitted by seven or eight suns from birth to death.

In other words, the power of 7 or 8 suns dying at the same time is not as powerful as a gamma-ray burst.

"It's impossible to determine the intensity of this gamma-ray burst at this time, but at a distance of 49 light years, if it were hit head-on by both ends of the gamma-ray burst in a straight line, I estimate that humans would become an endangered species like the giant panda now."

After listening to the astrophysics professor's explanation, the audience understood how dangerous this red flag really was.

"How so? Why is there such a sudden star destruction so close to us? Finally someone felt the heavy pressure, and there was a little despair in their voices.

Lang Xiaonian wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "As far as I know, Virgo 61 is a three-body world with three stars, namely Virgo 61b, Virgo 61c, and Virgo 61d.

"We don't know exactly how the stars were destroyed yet, but I think it's likely that three stars devoured each other that caused the explosion.

"As for the cause of this disaster, it is difficult to speculate, because the system of the three stars is unstable, and there is indeed the possibility of star fusion."

Fang Yuan's expression was a little solemn, he didn't expect such a drastic change to occur suddenly.

Just as Fang Yuan was deep in thought, the communication of General Karaksi of the Three-Eyed Civilization Shipbase Fleet was directly connected to Fang Yuan's Warframe communication system.

"The destruction of the star in Virgo 61, you should know, right? No need to ask, I'll tell you the answer, Ulysses did ......"

Karaksi's tone was flat, as if he had long been familiar with this kind of thing: "I am mainly responsible for the siege of Ulysses, and he was in the star field near Virgo 61 half a month ago.

"Based on where Ulysses appeared, his initial target should have been your home planet.

However, he should have discovered the encirclement, so he chose to do it directly 49 light-years away.

"Even if I didn't see him in action, I'm sure he did it, because Ulysses couldn't have kept an angry bug alive."

When Fang Yuan heard this answer, his expression turned cold, and there was a terrifying look of anger in his eyes.

The venue was noisy, as humanity was once again facing a crisis of destruction, and this time it seemed to be a mortal solution.

After a while, Fang Yuan stood up and said in a voice that shocked the audience, "Quiet! Since it's a gamma-ray burst 49 light-years away, we still have 49 years to go.

"Now, those who think they shouldn't continue to provoke the Palese civilization can shut up.

"The cruelty of the laws of survival in the universe is far beyond our imagination.

"The only end of cowardice is death!

"Whether the hunting operation of the Shield β235 Palesse mining ship was carried out or not does not need to be discussed.

"We need technology, the strongest technology in the universe, and since we can't develop it safely and steadily, we can get it through war.

"The action of Shield β235, I will personally participate!"

On the same day, the Supreme Council made a resolution to launch Operation Shield β235 hunting.

The focus of the discussion in each department immediately shifted from whether or not to raid Shield Constellation β235 to how to carry out this hunting mission.

At the same time, we also have to consider what role the Three-Eyed Civilization General Karaksi plays in this matter.
