The Kamal system is a small galaxy with only three planets, two gaseous planets, and one rocky planet, all of which orbit around the star Kamal.

Kamal is a red dwarf star with a mass of only one-third that of the Sun, and is the most inconspicuous of the stars, but it is more numerous and more stable.

Kamal is a planet 1.5 times the size of the Earth, just 12 million kilometers from the star. Although red dwarfs are "cold" stars with dim light, this distance allows Kamal to maintain liquid water and a temperature suitable for life.

Therefore, Kamal gave birth to life and evolved a race of intelligent life.

The Kamal galaxy is so small that it doesn't even have the Kuiper Belt, because it's the very edge of the cantilever, and beyond that lies an extremely empty interstellar space, a chasm more than 6,000 light-years wide between the Orion cantilever and the great Perseus cantilever.

Yes, it can be described as a chasm, there are no star systems in these more than 6,000 light years, maybe only a few meteorites or some wandering planets.

If a fleet of Tier 4 civilizations does not carry enough materials, it may not be able to cross this chasm.

Facing the chasm, standing on top of Kamal, you will find that the sky is so dim and lightless, and the brightest star is more than 6,000 light-years away.

Therefore, when the Kamal people look up at the starry sky, they will always find that a large part of the starry sky has no stars, and another part has many stars.

In the years of ignorance before the development of science, the Kamals believed that it was the will of God, and that where the stars shine is heaven, and where there is darkness is hell.

That's why the Kamals like to look to the side of the stars, where there is light, where there is heaven.

When science developed, the Kamal people finally understood that it was because the starry sky was too far away.

Well, the people who understand are actually only a handful of astronomers, because the Kamals are currently in the age of firearms, and a war that is sweeping the world is in full swing, and no one cares about things outside the planet.

This global war has been going on for 8 years, and there are not many countries on Kamal, but only two countries, the Kamal Empire and the Kama Federation, which each occupy two disconnected continents on the planet.

During the obscurantist period, it was difficult to cross the seas, so only a small number of adventurers engaged in dangerous trade activities, but it also brought communication between the two continents, and language was no longer an obstacle.

As science progresses, they are finally free to cross the oceans, from the first temptation, to the skirmishes over the islands, and finally to the battle for control of the planet.

The war has made science and technology constantly upgrade, the first generation of aircraft has appeared, and the sky is no longer a pure land.

Unlike the First World War of the Earth Age, the First World War of the Earth Age announced the collapse of the imperial system. In this war, the Kamal Empire has always had a clear upper hand, allowing the republican Kama Federation to constantly change cabinets.

In eight years, the Kama Federation has changed its cabinet ten times, and if it weren't for the more heroic soldiers of the Kama Federation, the Kama Federation might have been defeated long ago.

Recently, the Prime Minister of the Kama Federation, Tai Gir, is very worried, worried about the recent defeat of the Kama Federation, and also worried about his position.

In the just-concluded Battle of the Yanto River, the Kama Federation failed, which led to the Kamal Empire's army finally gaining a foothold on the Kama continent.

In other words, after eight years of war, the Kamal Empire has finally entered the territory of the Kama Federation, and it may not be long before the army will come to the capital of the Kama Federation.

The possibility of the Federation's defeat is increasing, and it is about to step down because of the defeat.

Rather than wait for parliamentarians to initiate impeachment and step down in embarrassment like previous prime ministers, Tegiel has already written his resignation letter and is ready to take the blame himself.

There was a quick knock on the door, and Tegir came back to his senses, and said, "Please come in!" ”

First Class Science Secretary Yellen hurriedly pushed the door open, followed by a small, bespectacled old man.

There are two races of Kamal Star people, the giant clan of the Kamal Empire and the Tanai clan of the Kama Federation, and the people of the two races stand together, which is the cutest height difference, with a difference of 40 centimeters.

The tallest of the Tanai people is around 1.6 meters, while the giants are generally about 2 meters. If it weren't for the barrier of the ocean, it is estimated that in the era of cold weapons, the giant clan would definitely conquer the Tanai people.

Now is the age of firearms, with giant ships, cannons, and flying machines as the mainstay, and there is no longer a need for giants to rely on their height advantage to win the war.

"Hello, Your Excellency! I am Qi Shan, the person in charge of the Taifeng Mountain Observatory, and I have an important situation to report to you. The old man with glasses stepped forward and saluted.

Tygill was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Yellen, the secretary of science and technology, what important situation can the observatory have at this time?

"Mr. Prime Minister, you would better listen to Professor Qi Shan's details in person, I think this matter may be a turning point in our war." Yellen said.

Tygir listened to Yellen's words and knew that he had always been a strict person, so he should not tell lies, so he said immediately: "Mr. Qishan, please sit down and tell me the specific situation." ”

Qi Yan sat down at the prime minister's desk, and then began to speak.

"I actually noticed anomalies near the Tia divider 10 years ago, but when I tried to get further evidence, they disappeared.

So, for ten years, I focused my observations on the direction of the Tia divider, and recently I finally saw it again. ”

The old man seemed to be more excited when he said it, and when he said this, he was a little out of breath.

Tygir couldn't help asking, "What do you see?" ”

"I saw alien warships, no...... It should be the fleet! The old man finally said what he wanted to say.

"What do you say?! Alien?? "Tygildon was frightened, yes, just frightened.

Since the development of science, astronomers have also made scientific explanations for the stars in various star skies.

Indeed, some people began to wonder if there were so many stars in the sky that there were so many stars in the sky, could there be intelligent life on other stars, that is, the existence of aliens.

However, this is just some hope and talk point of high society, and now, when the Kama Federation is in danger of extinction, the astronomer comes to tell himself that he has seen aliens with that telescope, or a battleship, oh, a fleet, how can this not frighten Tegil?

However, Taigil was the prime minister of a country, so he quickly calmed down and asked, "Professor Qishan, where did you see it?" How far is it from our Kamal star? ”

The old man immediately replied, "It's about 10 light-years away from Kamal. Looking from Kamal, between the light and dark starry sky, there is a dividing line named after the great scientist Tia, where there are no stars, and it is here that I observed the alien fleet. ”

"Since there are no stars, it should be darker, right? How did you observe it? Tegiel asked.

"The first time was a coincidence, I improved the astronomical telescope so that I could observe faint stars within 10-20 light years. So, although it is dim there, after all, there is light and starlight on the other side of the starry sky, and as long as you look closely, you can still see something.

It was also for this reason that I was not able to confirm it the first time and did not report it to the government. Over the past ten years, I have further improved the astronomical telescope and equipped it with a corresponding camera.

This time, I was able to observe it again and take a picture in time. However, this should be the situation when the aliens appeared there ten years ago, and the last time I saw it, the number of battleships was much, much less. ”

The old man explained his observations in detail, and as he spoke, he took out a dozen photos from his bag.

This is a photo taken by a camera attached to a long-range optical telescope, and there was no color camera at this time, so it was all black and white.

Tygill spread out the photographs on his desk and looked at them closely, and the photographs had some disc-shaped shadows on the dark background, and some of the outer outlines of these disc-shaped shadows had some light spots.

The old man pointed to these spots and explained, "These may be the lights of the disc spaceship, and if I look directly at them from the telescope, most of them are flashing. ”

Huge waves swelled in Tegil's heart, apparently the astronomer did not deceive himself, the pictures looked real, and if it was really an object taken 10 light years away, then aliens really existed.

Now that the battle between the two Kamal stars is about to be decided, how will such news bring about a change in the situation?

If you tell the Kamal Empire to ask for a truce between the two sides and jointly deal with the aliens, will you get the consent of the Kamal Empire?

Or they are more likely to think that our machinations are deceiving them in an attempt to delay them and mobilize forces to defeat them.

So, what should you do?

When he looked up, Tygill saw that Professor Qi Yan and Secretary Yellen were looking at him, waiting for his instructions.

Tygir suddenly laughed and said, "Professor Qishan, thank you very much for your report, and I also work hard for you to continue to observe the movements of these aliens, I need to hold a cabinet meeting to discuss this matter." ”

Secretary Yellen immediately understood what the prime minister meant, and immediately continued: "Professor Qi Shan, the prime minister has a lot of business, let's get here first today, let's go out first." ”

With that, after giving a salute to Qi Shan, they both left the prime minister's office.

After the two left, Tygir picked up one of the clearest photos again and looked at it, aliens? Aliens still 10 light-years away?

What effect do they have on us at such a distance? Professor Qi Yan discovered these alien spacecraft 10 years ago, and they reappeared there 10 years later, and they did not come to our Kamal star in both appearances, which means that they should not have discovered our Kamal.

Maybe it's because the Kama galaxy is in a dark field that makes it difficult for others to observe us?

However, our astronomical telescopes can observe those faint starry skies, and these aliens, who are obviously more technologically advanced than us, should be able to observe us better.

Maybe they don't care about us, just like we care about where the ant nest is?

Tegiel put away all the photos and laughed at himself: "Tomorrow the parliamentarians may impeach me and remove me, and I can't do it if I want to."

Then wait, maybe we can explain this when the new prime minister and I hand over. Now, I need to spend time with my daughter. ”

Prime Minister Tegir cleaned up his desk and got up to leave his office.
