Yuan Haochen was still staring at the starry sky of the universe in the distance, changing perspectives from time to time, watching those dark spots continue to expand.

Just as his expression became more and more solemn. Suddenly, the whole picture came to an abrupt halt.

The endless darkness was gone, the vast sea of stars, the specks of stars were gone, and in their place was the soft light of the interior of the dome of the council hall.

[Commanders, the above is the information sent back by the reconnaissance fleet of the Fourth Combat Group at the first time. 】

General Meng's loud voice appeared in the council hall, and all the delegates came back to their senses from the virtual images of the universe one after another, and locked their eyes on the center of the council hall.

The delegates at the meeting had different expressions, although they had more or less their own judgments on the situation, but at this moment, they were all quietly waiting for what General Meng Chao was going to say next.

As a result, the entire council hall fell into dead silence until General Mengjun's voice rang out again.

[Of course, these are reconnaissance information from a macro perspective.] That's all we have for now. But soon, I believe that it will not be long before the forward reconnaissance fleet will send back more specific things. 】

After speaking, the interior of the dome hemisphere space was immediately filled with all kinds of questions.

What are those? 】

[Is it related to the Annihilation Alliance?] What are they going to do!? 】

[Why did the star suddenly disappear, and it disappeared so strangely, leaving no trace!] 】

……

All the questions basically revolve around, and can only revolve around, the fact that the star has mysteriously disappeared.

[Commanders, the fleet command center will not be able to make accurate judgments without obtaining more in-depth information. General Meng Chao continued, [But one thing is certain, this incident is not trivial, counting all the battles between the Annihilation Alliance and the Annihilation Alliance, there has never been the current scene......]

[General Meng, when will the reconnaissance fleet in front send back more information?] The leader of a certain coalition fleet asked.

[It should be soon!] After a moment's thought, General Meng replied, "Because the reconnaissance fleet is equipped with miniature over-range communication equipment, according to the current distance, its full load energy is enough to initiate two or three over-distance communication processes. 】

[Based on the macroscopic monitoring information we have just reviewed, we cannot determine whether the star has truly disappeared or has been temporarily obscured by some special means.] Another coalition fleet leader asked.

[Yes, the star disappeared so strangely that no form of energy radiation was observed, and it was probably obscured.] 】

The idea that the stars were temporarily obscured was immediately echoed by several other coalition fleet leaders.

But General Meng's next words directly denied their speculation.

[I'm afraid to disappoint you, we have determined through the gravitational parameters that those stars must have disappeared completely, rather than being temporarily obscured. 】

Immediately there were different voices in the council chamber, and everyone knew that if the star did disappear completely, the situation would be much more serious.

Destroying a large number of stars in a short period of time is not too difficult for most civilized fleets participating in joint defense operations. But to be silent, like a ghost, to make so many stars suddenly disappear in such a short period of time is beyond everyone's imagination.

[Honorable General Mengchao.] Yuan Haochen asked a question through the communication system, [I want to know the detailed parameters of simulating the time process in the cosmic void that appeared just now. 】

[These are the detailed time parameters.] General Meng Chao shared the relevant data with everyone, and then continued, "I understand your thoughts, you guessed right. The rate at which stars disappear is rising at a regular rate! 】

"Thank you very much."

The next moment after saying his thanks, Yuan Haochen's brain was already running rapidly.

He cites the following important parameters:

1. The total mass of each vanishing star system, including the known planets in it;

2. the actual distance between the various vanishing star systems;

3. The time it takes for each individual star to disappear;

4. The difference in time of the disappearance of each adjacent star;

……

After extremely complex calculations, several curves gradually emerged in Yuan Haochen's mind.

"Commanders." Yuan Haochen quickly shared the curve and related values through brain waves, and said, "The above is the preliminary conclusion drawn through the current information. ”

"From the first curve, we can see that the star that first disappeared took the longest time in each of the regions where the star disappeared, but as you can see, in each dark spot, the rate of star disappearance that occurs is increasing exponentially. If we correct for the distance between the stars, as well as the mass parameter, we can get such a simple function. ”

[The factors that contribute to the disappearance of stars were weak at the beginning, but the rate of star disappearance is shrinking by a negative quadratic level!!] 】

Everyone came to the conclusion in an instant, this is already the speed limit without taking into account the distance between the stars.

[If it is the actions of the Annihilation Alliance, does it mean that their operational units are continuing to multiply!] 】

[Impossible, this is unlikely!] 】

[At least we haven't figured out how these stars disappeared without any warning, without any movement.] 】

Just when everyone was surprised, Yuan Haochen lit up another curve in his mind.

This time he didn't say much, just said succinctly: "Correcting all the time parameters and excluding the effects of devouring stars along the way, the suspected combat units of the Annihilation Alliance are gradually approaching us at a rate of more than 2,000 times the speed of light." ”

[2000 times the speed of light!? That's almost double our regular speed. 】

[However, do they plan to rely on ordinary interstellar voyages to fly to the "Gate of Time and Space"? 】

[Based on the distance of the nearest vanishing star, it will take more than 100 years to fly to the galaxy where the first defense echelon is located.] 】

[100 years, this is far more than the upper limit of the time we previously predicted.] The triangular blade general gave 30-60 years. 】

Various sounds or radio waves filled the interior of the council hall.

[Everyone, you must not be too optimistic, if the other party is the fleet of the Annihilation Alliance, it is inevitable to take the means of space jumping! ] General Meng Chao reminded everyone.

Although the total diameter of the star field to which the [Gate of Time and Space] No. 1562 belongs has reached more than 10 million light years, the defense radius that Starfleet 271 can really cover is only within 3 million light years.

The main garrison of the first defense echelon is deployed on the periphery of spherical space 2.5 million light-years away from the core area. This includes the 271st Starfleet direct forces, as well as 10 powerful coalition fleets.

[We must strike ahead of time!! 】

Just as the delegates were discussing, the leader of the Chaoyang Civilization Fleet suddenly said.

He immediately became the center of attention.

Look at the dark spots made of these vanishing stars! They have surrounded us, and the enemy is coming from all sides! We must strangle them before they become large!! 】
