Leon disappeared into the bridge of the Zitari mothership, leaving the low-ranking Zetari officer standing in place, desperate and helpless.

The Zetari tried his best to move even a finger, but the detention formation that Leon had set up at the thought of being too powerful, and no matter how hard the Zetari tried, they could only freeze somewhere.

Just when he was desperate, he suddenly thought of something, and asked softly in his mind, "Mothership AI, can you hear me?" ”

The inner part of the back of the neck of the Zetari is embedded with an intelligent chip at birth, which is used to monitor the criminal behavior of the individual and assist the individual's production and life routine.

According to common sense, except for the central intelligence brain of Zitari, no organization or individual can hack into the smart chip behind the neck of every Zitari citizen, but in the special case of everyone dying on the mothership, the mothership AI can communicate with the officer through the smart chip in accordance with the emergency military management regulations.

"I can hear you." The AI said calmly, "Do you need anything?" ”

The junior officer's heart fell, and he thought to himself, "As the last survivor of the 'Core-class' mothership and the highest-ranking one, I order you to immediately conduct a warning communication on the Zitari homeship, with the highest level of clearance. ”

"Yes." The AI quickly drafted a warning message and relayed it in the direction of Zitari's home star in the form of neutrino communication.

"It has to be.... I'm going to be able to catch up..."

The junior officer looked ahead in a daze, as if he could see the homeland through the distant dark starry sky.

"Gotta get them ready before that monster destroys the home planet...."

With the vacuum zero energy as the oar, and the space curvature bubble as the boat, Li Ang walked in the middle of the sea of stars.

Behind him, there are remnants of ethereal and illusory space folds like "fog belts", which are the curvature tracks left by the space curvature bubble during the driving process.

In the curvature trajectory, the light rays will be forcibly reduced in speed, and from a distance they will look as conspicuous as the slime trails left by snails - if conditions permit, it is possible to wrap a planet around the curvature trajectory, so that the speed of light escape from the planet's periphery will be extremely low, as if it is invisible, completely emitting no light, and disappearing from the stars.

"Some low-level civilizations may use this way to hide their whereabouts, but since they can point out the curvature engine technology, they don't need to hide themselves at all."

Li Ang said nonchalantly, picking up speed again.

In space, there is no need to worry about accidentally causing massive damage, and you can let go of the use of vacuum zero energy and curvature engines.

The Cygnus KIC8462852 he just mentioned is not nonsense, but a real star.

On September 11, 2016, a group of scholars from Yale University published an article on arxiv, a preprint website for the paper, discussing a target star with an apparent magnitude of 11.2 observed by the Kepler telescope KIC8462852.

The Kepler telescope uses the "transit" method to find extrasolar planets, and if the planet happens to pass in front of the star, blocking the light, the star's brightness will decrease - by measuring the shape of the light curve, you can guess the size of the star, its trajectory, and other data.

Interestingly, the KIC8462852 transit phenomenon is particularly peculiar, showing an extremely deformed and regular curvature of light, which is not caused by dust disks, planets, or comets, and cannot even be explained by existing theories.

In other words, KIC8462852 close orbit of the star, there is likely to be a giant man-made object with irregular shapes floating – the Dyson sphere, a man-made structure built on the outer side of the star that is designed to collect star energy.

"Judging by the galaxy navigation chart on the mothership, this is it."

Leon muttered to himself, gradually exiting the curvature track.

In front of him, an extremely ordinary star with a mass of 1.43M, a diameter of 3.16R, a surface temperature of 675K, and a rotation period of 21 hours.

However, what is unusual is that hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the outer side of the star, a "watch" hovers.

It may not be accurate to describe it in terms of a wristwatch, but if you describe it in detail, it is probably a whole seven man-made continents of steel.

The exterior of each steel creature is in the form of a flat band, with a slightly wide drum in the middle and a slightly narrower two sections, with a slight arc.

If you look closely, you can see that the sun-facing side of the steel continent is made up of countless hexagonal honeycomb structures in the center - those honeycombs are attached to the inner walls of solar crystal panels, and the position of the solar panels can be adjusted as the angle of the steel continent changes.

As for the side of the steel continent facing away from the sun, there is a flattened hemispherical arc shield - with Leon's eyesight, he can easily see through the steel shield and see the tall buildings below and the Zetarians walking between them.

Seven continents of steel, each twice the size of the Earth's surface, were drawn by a slender and narrow light blue beam.

The mass of a steel structure of this magnitude is enough to create a massive gravitational effect that causes the entire building to collapse inwards – and the only reason they didn't fall into the collapse trap is to rely on star energy to power the anti-gravity engine.

"Is this Zitari's version of Dyson ball?"

Leon paused in the starry sky and admired the majestic creation of civilization with great interest, "According to every steel land, there are 15 billion Zitari people, these alien species rely on the inexhaustible stars to meet the needs of production and life, and even the starship factory and other ancillary fortifications have been moved to the steel land.

It's not so much a fragment of a Dyson sphere as it is a new planet for the Zetarians. ”

His comfort didn't last long, and soon, hundreds of thousands of starships suddenly appeared in the void.

These ships were fusiform, coarse cigars, flintlock muskets, or eagle wings, and varied in size, but at the bow they were painted with the strange emblems of the Zetaris.

"Distinguished guests, this is the hub of the Zitari stellar ring, and on behalf of the Zitari government, the people, and the army, I would like to extend my cordial greetings and heartfelt wishes to you, and welcome your visit."

The battleship at the front of the line (larger than the tower-shaped mothership) pointed at Leon with its bow, and this message was broadcast over a wide area, while the other ships remained in motion, and surrounded Leon in a vague manner.

"We have learned about what happened on the Core-class ship, and while we sincerely apologize, we ask for your forgiveness."

As he spoke, the battleship Zetari floated out from under its hull and slowly arrived in front of Leon.

Standing in the small ship was an extremely richly dressed old man of Zetari, with a humble and docile attitude, who could only say in the language of the earth with the help of AI: "We are willing to pay more compensation to compensate you and the earth for all losses." ”

“....”

Leon didn't speak, just raised a finger—a high-frequency trembling ball of antimatter was still suspended on the fingertips.

The moment he pulled out the orb, all the Zetari warships were secretly ready to fire ammunition, and if the negotiations broke down, they would pour fire on the space where Leon was.

"This galaxy, it's up to you, right?" Leon said nonchalantly, "Including negotiations or something, can you represent the entire Zitari tribe alone?" ”

“... Yes. The old man Zitari said in a deep voice: "As the elder of the Zetari population, I bear the ....."

Leon didn't listen any further, he flicked his fingers and threw the antimatter ball at random.

Elder Zetari turned pale and roared, "Stop him! ”

Before the words fell, those ships floating densely in space were already under the control of the ship's AI, each using its own means.

Steady-state strong magnetic field generators, hadron collision railguns, photonic fiber bundles, anti-gravity cluster annular belts, gravitational bombs...

Various energy barriers and physical projectiles blocked the front of the antimatter sphere, trying to redeem the predetermined fate in this way.

Unfortunately, they met Leon.

On the way here, Leon had already set up a circulating barrier on the outside of the antimatter sphere, which could spontaneously produce curvature bubbles, wrap around the antimatter sphere, and move forward at the speed of light.

Even if the Zetari warships in the rear were prepared in advance and used baryon beams to weave an impermeable network, they would not be able to penetrate the aura barrier on the outside of the antimatter ball. I could only watch as the tiny orbs drifted away.

"After 8 minutes, the antimatter ball will destroy a piece of Dyson Sphere fragment and kill the approximately 7 billion Zetarians on the Iron Land."

Under the sad and desperate gaze of the alien old man, Li Ang said leisurely: "Now, you can start crying for your Zitari compatriots in advance. ”
