At this time, on the route between the solar system and the Alpha Centauri system, the space flight units of the Earth civilization are as follows:

The possible position of the Combined Fleet, the command ship of Yuan Haochen, is 1.2~1.3 light-years away from the Fifth Space City Group, and about 2.6 light-years away from the Earth;

The probable position of the 1st, 3rd and 10th Falcon Frigates from the 5th Space City Group is 1.1~1.2 light years;

The second, sixth, eighth, and ninth Falcon convoys, and the 30th-50th deep space resource development fleets are located 2.4 light-years from Earth;

If all goes well, the 1st, 3rd, and 10th Falcon Frigates will approach the area where the Fifth Space City Group is located after a year and a month of continuous high-speed flight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If communication with them is still not available by then, it will be in an extremely disturbing situation.

After all, relying on nearly a thousand spaceships to find a needle in the sea of stars is a very unreliable thing, and the spaceships involved in the search must not deviate too much from the course, otherwise they may also encounter a crisis.

Time is running out, and the Star Immigration Team is already doing its best to launch a rescue operation against the Earth Defense Camp and the Fifth Space City Group.

In order to increase the search and rescue force, when Yuan Haochen left the Fourth Space City Group, he also specially transferred 500 Falcon frigates and 15 deep space resource development fleets from the group to return to the solar system together.

Fortunately, after being suppressed and tormented for half a year, everyone finally received post-disaster feedback and distress signals from the Fifth Space City Group.

The post-disaster feedback information about the Fifth Space City can only be described as tragic.

The Fifth Space City Group has been hit hard by a gamma-ray burst in a dangerous area about 1 light-year from the solar system. Although it was still some distance away from the sniper trajectory of the Gamma Ray Burst, it still ended up with heavy casualties. This result can't help but make everyone worry even more about the solar system in the core strike area.

According to the feedback, the entire gamma-ray burst attack lasted only 58.21 seconds, but in this short period of time, the terrifying high-energy rays brutally and ruthlessly directly injured the Fifth Space City Group.

All communication systems collapsed directly, and the life-sustaining system and ecological circulation system located in the core area of the inner space city were also severely damaged. Fortunately, the central computer system and the autonomous GNC (navigation) system were not seriously damaged, and after the crisis erupted, they did not collapse immediately and managed to maintain their functions. It took thousands of scientists to fight for three days and three nights in a row before it was completely repaired and the internal communication system of the entire Space City group was restored.

It is unimaginable that after the loss of the central computer system and the autonomous GNC (navigation) system, the entire Space City formation will immediately become a plate of scattered sand, and all flight units will face various high-risk risks, and eventually gradually get lost in the vast and cold universe.

Although the central computer system and the autonomous GNC (navigation) system interfered with the crisis plan, all units capable of flying were brought back to the flight team. However, 82% of the frigates and 89% of the spacecraft for the development of deep space resources in the entire Space City group still suffered serious damage. After losing the ability to fly, some spaceships began to deviate from their course, flying into deep space, and even crashing into the surrounding space cities, adding fuel to the already chaotic situation.

Finally, in order to avoid a more chaotic situation, the leadership team of the Fifth Space City Group decisively ordered the central computer system and the autonomous GNC (navigation) system to control all space flight units to slow down, and finally stopped at a position about 1.19 light-years away from the solar system, while deploying self-rescue and waiting for rescue.

Fifth, the actual injuries to the Space City Group are even more serious than the data reported by the crisis research team.

During the gamma-ray burst raid, 62.1% of the area of the Fifth Space City Group was exposed to varying degrees of radiation, and 7.32 million people died rapidly within a week due to extremely high doses of radiation. As many as 73 per cent of the total number of people affected by radiation are seriously threatened, that is, the lives of more than 73 million people.

This means that the entire Fifth Space City Group has more than 80% of the casualties in this gamma-ray burst raid accident!!

And as time passed, the 73 million residents of Space City who were injured by gamma rays continued to burst out with severe radiation injuries. In the absence of food and clothing, and the extreme lack of medical conditions, a large number of wounded and sick people died in extreme pain and despair, and the survivors could only watch the lives of their relatives and friends decay and wither.

Over the past few years, a large number of wounded and sick people have died every day, and the total population of the Fifth Space City Group has plummeted from 100 million to 46.2 million. It is conceivable that the scene at that time must have been full of mourning, starvation, and miserable......

It took nearly two years for the entire Space City group to initially control the chaotic situation.

In the end, because the damage was too severe for the engineering team to repair, a total of 62% of the structural units of the city were sealed.

(The design of the ordinary space city is composed of 30 clustering units, each of which can be divided into 40 structural units, each of which has a complete isolation system, an artificial gravity system, and an air circulation system.) Faulty and serious structural elements are quickly isolated to ensure that the other structural units can operate normally)

It was only after dealing with all the life-and-death issues that the Fifth Space City Group finally found the time and energy to repair the telecommunication system, and only then did it regain the ability to connect with the rest of the Interstellar Migration team.

......

After reading the tragic post-disaster feedback and distress signals of the Fifth Space City Group, Yuan Haochen's mood became more and more depressed.

It can be said that what happened to the entire Fifth Space City Group is a tragedy staged in space.

Such casualties are also rare in the history of human civilization. The final death toll of a gamma-ray burst that lasted only one minute was close to that of the entire Second World War.

Moreover, on the distant earth, there is an even more tragic casualty figure waiting for people, and the extremely cruel truth is that that the casualty number will be in the hundreds of millions!

"What is the meaning of human existence in the universe?"

"Compared to the universe, the earth civilization is just a speck of dust, human beings are meaningless, the earth is meaningless, and even galaxies are meaningless....."

"However, is this really the case!?"

"What is the current situation on Earth? What about the Earth Defense camp? How many [Inner City] will there be, and how many people, will survive this gamma-ray storm? ”

Looking at the direction of the earth, Yuan Haochen once again remembered these questions......
