Chapter 5: The Annihilation of the World

Three months ago, observations showed that a small planet was heading towards the solar system from the direction of the Alpha Centauri galaxy at a speed of 4,000 kilometers per second.

This is a very rare astronomical phenomenon. The chief priests of the Zolkin Confederation ZF have been convening an emergency meeting of the Imperial Council for a week to discuss countermeasures.

The probe sent to Gray Star (tentatively named) has taken a large number of pictures and video footage and sent back to the Observatory.

According to the data, the gray star is about one-fortieth the size of Drow Venus, and its mass is unknown. The probe did not find any signs of life on the surface of the gray star, but at the same time, it also photographed some seemingly unnatural landform features, especially the surface of the planet is full of countless craters of all sizes, which are unfathomable, as if they go straight to the deep underground, which makes people feel cold.

The fact that such a huge celestial body is rushing at such a huge speed is a huge crisis for the entire solar system.

Not to mention the worst possibility of a collision with a planet, just passing within 100,000 kilometers of Drow Venus will have a very devastating impact on the latter, from causing a large-scale earthquake to a super-massive tsunami or even a deflection of the Earth's axis, with unimaginable consequences.

Astronomical observers have been closely following the movement of the gray star for several weeks, calculating the relative position it will be in relation to the various celestial bodies when it arrives, based on the speed and angle of the gray star's orbit and the orbit of the planets of the solar system.

After careful measurement and repeated calculations, the researchers have come up with a jaw-dropping result: when the gray star arrives, it will collide head-on with Drow Venus!

In order to avoid causing panic, the leaders of the Zolkin Confederation ZF decided to keep it a secret from the populace for the time being, but they themselves sat on pins and needles.

Such a large cosmic celestial body attacked from outside the sky at such a high speed, so that the tidal force generated when the two stars approached did not have time to tear it apart, in other words, the result of a direct collision was no suspense.

With the current level of science and technology of the Zolgins, it is impossible to intercept or deviate from the flight trajectory by force, and the only feasible option is to use the power of the entire planet to launch the maximum number of high-destruction nuclear missiles at this extraterrestrial visitor, in the hope of blowing it up.

But whether this will really achieve the desired effect, even the top experts can't guarantee, this is just a way to do it, which is equivalent to a desperate fight before the end comes.

All the high-ranking members of the Confederate ZF were immersed in a gloomy fog, and a few people were planning to escape into outer space in a spaceship, and a considerable number of those in the know had already begun to prepare for the aftermath.

Time passed, and the gray star quietly approached step by step with the rhythm of death. As it flew three astronomical units (about 400 million kilometers) from Drowjin, the Emperor ZF of the Zolkin Confederation announced the explosive and tragic news to the general public via live television, while the various military branches of the Confederation adjusted the missile launchers all over the world to the same direction and counted down the launch together.

Thousands of multi-stage rockets carrying hydrogen bombs and neutron bombs are beamed at the oncoming gray star with a diameter range of 600 kilometers, and the hydrogen bombs mainly hit the gray star itself, and the neutron bombs try to kill alien creatures that may be lurking inside the gray star.

Rockets travel about twice as fast as the Third Cosmic Velocity, but Gray Star is more than 120 times faster than these rockets, and it only takes about a day to cover the remaining 400 million kilometers.

This terrible visitor is actually on the city, and death is imminent. Billions of pairs of eyes on Drow Venus are watching these rockets with the last ray of hope, and hundreds of millions of hearts are silently praying for a miracle.

Time passed minute by minute, and the gray star was approaching frantically, and less than an hour before it hit Drow Venus, the satanic star suddenly began to slow down and changed its trajectory in a deflection direction at an angle of thirty degrees to its original orbit, as if it had made a magnificent turn in the air.

It turned out to be perfectly able to dodge the missile hit! The last efforts of the Dzorkin were also declared unsuccessful. Everyone was in a great panic.

This Death Star is undoubtedly controlled by intelligent beings! The people of Zolkin did not know its origin, and there was no way to escape it, so all they could do was wait in silence.

The Gray Star dodged the missile strike and then continued to slow down, and after reaching the low Earth orbit of Drow Venus, it stopped.

The Drowkins let out a sigh of relief, as if they had been on a train to Hell at full speed to meet the Grim Reaper at the Ghost Gate, and then suddenly turned back, praying that things would not be as bad as they had thought.

They try to send radio signals to the gray star, presumably using a language that the other party can understand, and try to use the wording as little as possible without being humble or arrogant, showing a friendly attitude while maintaining a certain dignity; On the other hand, they sent out a probe and force to expel the spacecraft, and bravely approached the surface of the gray star to explore the reality.

But sadly, for the former, Gray Star responds with silence; In the case of the latter, once close to a safe distance, the gray star emits high-energy optical magnetic waves from the holes in the dense star to destroy the spacecraft.

The Drogin were never able to find out where they were coming from, nor were they able to get close to them, let alone repel them.

The gray star hung like a gray-black ghost over Drow Venus for three whole days, standing still, like a silent sphinx.

The deep and shallow craters on the star, like deep and unfathomable giant eyes, staring at everything on Drow Venus.

At midnight on the fourth day, Zolkin observers suddenly discovered that from a huge crater facing them at the bottom of the gray star, eighteen large black saucer-shaped spacecraft flew out one after another, and each of these spacecraft flew in different directions, forming a regular circle with the crater as the center.

As it flew, each ship pulled a long black strip out of the crater

"Tightropes", these spacecraft tow their respective cables in all directions at an astonishing speed, and each cable eventually reaches a length of more than 5,000 kilometers.

Immediately afterwards, five other small spacecraft flew out of the crater, also pulling five slender black steel cables, and flew in a spiral trajectory around the gray star at a dizzying speed about 1,500 kilometers from the starting point; As they flew, they attached their respective steel cables firmly and densely to the top of the eighteen meridians, round and round, extending farther away.

The gray star is weaving a web! The Drowin quickly realized what was happening. They sent their destroyer ships to attack the massive crater at the base of the gray star, and the large ones that dragged the warp nailed to the distant canopy

"Wedge" spacecraft. The alien creatures in the gray star are clearly aware of the importance of these critical parts, and they are constantly sending armed ships out of other craters in the star surface for reinforcement and cover.

The crater is heavily guarded, eighteen ships

The "Wedge" spacecraft also turned on their respective shields, each

The "Wedge" spacecraft is also protected by more than three friendly ships. The weapons of the Dzolkin were clearly a generation behind the Gray Star creatures, and countless attacking ships were destroyed by the opponent and suffered heavy losses, and the Gray Star Ships that pulled and weaved nets could not be shaken in the slightest.

Another day and night passed, and when countless Drogin people awoke from their slumber, they were horrified to find themselves at the darkest dawn ever.

For the first time, the ancient sun disappeared completely, replaced by a gray star that looked like a messenger of hell hanging overhead, and a vast black web stretched beneath it.

The entire planet of Drow Venus was shrouded in this vast net, plunged into endless darkness. It's a sight of madness and despair, as if this is the end of the world.

The Zolkin Confederation ZF is still sending out ships to attack Lanet

"Wedge" spaceships, but their offensive is getting weaker and weaker, and the casualties are getting heavier and heavier, and the poignant scenes are as tragic as a heroic movie if they are slowed down and accompanied by mournful music; The Dzorkin ships, which were hit by enemy fire but still fighting to the death, were like dying lambs with blood bubbling from their necks but still twitching and struggling.

The Dzorkins turned to launching missiles from land to attack the black web, but the net was far stronger than they imagined, and conventional missiles could not damage it, and hydrogen bomb-level weapons could pierce it, but the entire net could not be destroyed.

In fact, after the failure of previous attempts to strike Gray Star with cluster missiles with the power of the Confederacy, the Dzorkins actually had no decent reserves of hydrogen bombs.

Three days had passed, and the Drogin had been unable to organize effective resistance, and the entire planet was gasping and trembling in the darkness.

What shrouded this once bright, beautiful, and vibrant planet was now nothing but boundless darkness and the cold silence of alien intelligent beings that were colder than darkness.

Ten days have passed, and Drow Venus is on the verge of collapse. Darkness brings more than darkness. Although basic supplies such as electricity and water can still be maintained by nuclear energy, all long-distance communications have been completely paralyzed by the huge network, and the various regions cannot communicate with each other, and the control of the Confederate ZF over the people has effectively collapsed.

People who have fallen into a state of ZF have begun to fight infighting, snatching basic necessities such as food and drinking water.

What is even more terrifying is that the natural environment on the planet has also undergone serious changes: plants are unable to photosynthesize due to lack of sunlight, the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been severely imbalanced, and this situation is getting worse day by day as the darkness continues, and all life on Drow Venus is in danger of suffocation.

As the days passed, a large number of people on the planet had died of cardiopulmonary failure, and the streets were unusually quiet, and all that was left was the strength to survive.

Some people began to bow down in the sky, begging for a glimmer of life from these unseen alien wisdoms.

This, of course, could not be responded to.

The "Skynet" still hangs silently, countless lives are coming to an end, and the Dzorkin people can no longer even give the signal to surrender.

Just as they were on the verge of extinction, a spaceship sent by Gray Star landed on the planet, shrouded in darkness and death......
