"The key now is, what about those of us who remain on the Green Star?" Spred asked anxiously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This question caused an uproar in the command cabin at once, and at this time, everyone who was all focused on the Big Bang of Green Star remembered that there were still a group of companions on Green Star who needed to rely on themselves to save them.

"What to do." Spred's question made Zhou Xin's face quickly turn gray, in fact, he thought of them at the moment of the explosion, but he had been avoiding this question since the beginning, "Do you think we still have a chance to save them?" ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, the faces of everyone present changed, and they suddenly understood what Zhou Xin wanted to express.

"It doesn't have to be a chance." Just as everyone's faces changed, Atlas retorted.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xin asked in a tone of disbelief, the little girl's words made his heart reveal a glimmer of hope, not only him, but the faces of everyone in the command cabin changed for the second time in just a few seconds.

"The area of effect of the two big bangs wasn't actually as big as it seemed." At the same time, Atlas drew a green circle in the dark green area where the green star remained, "The crew was probably spread out within this range, so they were not affected by the two most powerful explosions. Although now because of the high-energy rays, they cannot be contacted for the time being. However, judging from the current situation, the probability that they are still alive is still very high. Then, he drew a red arc on the ring of dust that was spreading outward, "But if you want to get them back, Captain, we must move quickly." That huge ring of dust was actually a huge storm, and if that ring of dust covered the entire green circle, it would be very difficult for those people to survive. ”

"How long will it take for the storm to reach the periphery of the Green Circle?" Zhou Xin asked, listening to his tone, it seemed that he had decided to save those who were still on the Green Star.

"Three hours at the latest." Atlas gave a not too long time.

"Is it only three hours?" A sense of urgency suddenly appeared in Zhou Xin's heart, "If you want to get from us to the vicinity of Green Star within three hours, and you have to pick them all up, I'm afraid only the Voyager itself can do it." ”

"Don't just think about how to save them." "Don't forget that the spherical ship is still near the Green Star," Spred reminded. They haven't spotted us yet, but if the Voyager flies to Green Star, it might be. If it comes to this point, not to mention whether we can save those people on the planet, or even whether we can successfully escape, it is a question. ”

"Does that mean you can only let the little ship pass?" Under Spred's reminder, Zhou Xin changed his attention, "But if you only send the spaceship over, I'm afraid it will be a little reluctant in terms of time." Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed.

"Otherwise, let the Voyager fly in the direction of Green Star and send the spacecraft out, which should save a lot of time." Dart suggested.

"But it also increases the probability that the other party will find us." Spred still objected to Dart's idea.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Atlas's voice came, "You don't have to fight, the spherical battleship has left." ”

"Left?" Zhou Xin was quite surprised, "Can you be sure?" ”

"People are sure they've left." The little girl repeated, "The probe left in the outer orbit has captured the spherical battleship leaving. As he spoke, he released the footage captured by the probe.

Zhou Xin saw that after launching the second spherical object at the surface of the green star, the spherical battleship had been flying in a direction away from the green star. A few minutes later, a circle of light appeared in the direction of the green star, and a few minutes later, a second explosion also appeared. Shortly after the light of the second explosion waned, the spherical battleship stopped. The space around the spherical battleship began to distort, and it didn't take long for it to restart, flying into the black hole it had just generated. Then, all that remained in the probe's lens was the gradually dissipating ripples of space and the completely transformed green star.

After watching the picture on the screen, many people present, including Zhou Xin, breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the familiar space distortion didn't look like a fake.

"Phew—there's no danger." With a long breath, Spred subconsciously spoke, "They're finally gone." ”

"Now that our biggest threat is gone, let's go to the Green Star and save people without further ado." Zhou Xin said.

This time, no further objections were raised by anyone present. Because the main engine had been ready to start since the beginning, in a very short time, the Voyager was moving to sub-light speed and heading towards the Green Star.

It took only ten minutes from the engine start to the Voyager's arrival near the Green Star. However, this does not mean that Zhou Xin's next rescue operation will be very smooth, as the spacecraft has just reached the outer orbit of Green Star when the radiation alarm on the Voyager sounds. Soon, Atlas cut off the siren and reminded: "Although the radiation around the spaceship is relatively high now, it is not enough to endanger the crew inside the spaceship under the protection of the perimeter. However, I am afraid that this state of affairs will not last long, and the captain's brother needs to launch a rescue operation as soon as possible. ”

"Prepare to launch a rescue spacecraft to the surface of the Green Star, and send more robots up to speed up the search." As soon as Atlas's words fell, Zhou Xin's order rang out. In the ensuing rush, the rescue ship left the Voyager as fast as it could, and dispersed into the area that Atlas had demarcated. Constrained by the strong radiation in the surrounding environment, Zhou Xin finally set the rescue time at two hours, and if no survivors were found by then, they would have no choice but to leave here.

After arranging all this, Zhou Xin, who was a little able to be idle, turned their gaze to the surface of the green star after the big explosion.

When viewed from a distance, it is not yet very intuitive. It wasn't until this distance that Zhou Xin discovered how much damage the spherical orb that seemed to have nothing special that it had caused to Green Star. Take the spot of light that could be seen from the beginning as an example, Zhou Xin originally thought that it was just the ground that had been melted in the explosion, but now it seems that it is more than that. No one would have thought that the powerful explosion would directly blow up part of the earth's crust on the surface of the Green Star. That's right, judging by Atlas's observations, most of the dark red area is not melted rock at all, as Zhou Xin believes, but a part of the exposed mantle. Because the Voyager is not currently directly above the dark red area, from the exterior view of the current spacecraft, it can be seen that the surface of the originally curved green star is now deeply dented as if a large piece has been dug out by a huge spoon, and the magma that is slowly flowing towards the center of the crater can be clearly seen.

The rim of the crater is covered with a large number of visible cracks, many of which are filled with gushing magma flows. Not only that, but a large amount of magma is gradually filling the low-lying area that was once a lake and sea through those cracks. Once most of the magma solidifies, nearly half of the terrain on Green Star will change drastically.

In addition, large areas of charred black can be seen between the cracks and on the periphery, and there is a circle of bright yellow light that spreads outward at the outer edge of the charred area. Outside the aperture, Zhou Xin finally saw the once normal dark green ground on this planet.

While everyone was observing the terrible condition on the surface of the Green Star, Atlas was reporting to the crowd on the various data he had observed:

"The crater formed by the explosion is about 2,000 kilometers in diameter, and the deepest that can be measured is about 100 kilometers, reaching the upper mantle, and even close to the estimated depth of the upper edge of the lower mantle. According to the size of the crater and video footage, the explosion that occurred on the green star not long ago was roughly equivalent to the head-on impact of an asteroid with a diameter of about 150 kilometers. In addition to the direct damage caused by the explosion itself, the shock wave severely damaged the terrain of the ring of nearly 1,000 kilometers around the crater. In addition, the violent storm in the atmosphere formed by the explosion has now spread to the annular area 5,000 kilometers away from the center of the explosion and is still expanding outward. ”

Although the actual surface of the planet had been seen on the screen, after listening to the accurate data reported by Atlas, everyone could not help but be shocked by the power of the previous explosion.

"The power -- the power is indescribable, it's terrifying." Dart's tone was hard to hide his amazement, and he asked Atlas, "Haven't you figured out exactly what kind of weapon they're using?" ”

"Judging from the size of the sphere, the first thing that can be ruled out is ordinary nuclear weapons." The little girl shook her head, "Even the most powerful neutron weapon we've ever seen can't do the destructive power we see now in that size." ”

"So, don't you have a clue now?" Dart concluded with a tone of disappointment.

"That's not what I said." A thoughtful look appeared on Atlas's face, and then she said slowly, "Based on the phenomena observed in the explosion, there is a theory that there really is a substance that qualifies. Then the little girl added, "However, this is only theoretical, and it is difficult for people to know for sure whether this is the case or not." ”

"Don't sell it, let's talk about it, what the hell is it?" Dart urged.

"Antimatter." Atlas only uttered three words. However, after hearing these three words, everyone's faces instantly became colorful.

"Antimatter?" The moment he heard this word, Zhou Xin's face showed a look of sudden realization, "If it's antimatter, maybe it's really possible." Dart had apparently heard the term before, and he was shocked again, "Antimatter? Is it really possible to get such a large amount of antimatter? Only Spred and the others looked at the others present with puzzled expressions.

After briefly explaining to Spred what antimatter was, Atlas continued: "Of all the high-powered matter stored in people's databases, I am afraid that only the power and volume of antimatter can meet the conditions of this explosion at the same time. However, the original grandfathers only put forward a concept and did not conduct in-depth research on antimatter, so whether it can reach this level of power is just speculation. Of course, the possibility that the other party used other substances cannot be ruled out. ”

"Anything else?" Zhou Xin analyzed with a tone of amazement, "Even if it is other substances, I am afraid that it should be on the same level as the power of antimatter." In other words, the civilization to which the spherical battleship belonged was now able to use antimatter or matter of the same level as antimatter in actual combat. Even judging from the fact that they had just consumed two of them at a time, it is very likely that they were only using it as a regular weapon for their daily equipment. If you continue to extrapolate from this, what is the current level of science and technology of the other party? ”

Zhou Xin's series of analyses made everyone's hearts can't help but rise a creepy feeling, especially the Atlanteans. After all, their ancestors had a direct conflict with a larger spherical battleship, and even at this time, Dart was secretly glad that the spherical battleship had not used similar weapons against his ancestors, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, he continued: "It's unimaginable, it's unimaginable. Their strength is probably many times stronger than in our heyday, and it is really hard to imagine how our ancestors managed to escape from the pursuit of such a terrifying opponent. ”

"I'm afraid there's still some luck in it." Zhou Xin, who had watched the escape video at the beginning, said thoughtfully. After slowly saying this, a very strange thought suddenly popped up in his heart, "Or - that spherical battleship didn't even want to kill you in the first place?" ”

However, at this time, Zhou Xin did not have time to think about it, because at this time, the rescue spacecraft had already begun to reach the surface of the Green Star......
