When Jiang Ziyue led the fleet back to the planet "New Byzantium", the capital of the New Roman Empire, it was already October 21, 2920. At this time, the Imperial Senate already had a complete understanding of a series of great changes that had taken place on the entire "Taiji" planet and even the entire "Taixu" star system.

"It is already obvious that the 'Taiji' planet and the 'Yi' planet are artificial objects of the same nature." In the office of the Consonointon of the Imperial Privy Council, Wang Zeren said with a serious expression, "And the alliance of the twelve mayors who live on the planet 'Taiji' also has suspicious motives. After the Great Retreat, they did not ask the Senate and the Planetary Provinces for refuge, they only sent the citizens of the non-Tai Chi planets back to the planets, and their own large fleet of migrants was nowhere to be found. Moreover, their merchant ships scattered throughout the Senate and the Roman people were also gradually leaving, flying towards the space outside the spiral arm of the immortals. ”

The news revealed by the consul surprised Jiang Ziyue, who was full of joy today. But then, Wang Zeren's words made him rise from surprise to shock.

"Jiang Ziyue, the unmanned reconnaissance ship left behind by your 'Baitou' fleet did not bring back the follow-up intelligence of the mission. However, our research ship 'Calabi-Yau Chengtong' and her unmanned reconnaissance ship took incredible images. ”

As Wang Zeren spoke, the lights in the office quickly dimmed, and a huge three-dimensional image appeared around everyone, making people feel as if they were in space.

Everyone present, Wang Zeren, the Imperial Consul, Tao Chengjun, the chief academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Günter Hermann Fischer, the chief staff member of the Privy Council, and Colonel Jiang Ziyue, the commander of the "Baitou" fleet of the Imperial Border Fleet, all saw the artistically processed images brought back by the unmanned notification ship from the "Calabi-Yau Chengtong" research ship.

When the long strip-shaped battleship "Admiral Li Kenong" left, it was quietly orbiting the "Taiji" planet with the star "Taixu", and suddenly it shook.

The camera is then zoomed in to the low Earth orbit of the planet Taiji, allowing the viewer to clearly see the surface of the planet.

The "Taiji" planets, which were always facing the stars because their orbital period and rotation period are equal, began to roll on the ecliptic plane of the star's "void". Its rotation has changed rapidly, and its axis of rotation has changed to coincide with the ecliptic plane, with one pole of the ocean facing the star, and the other pole of the frozen facing the star, and it has begun to accelerate its rotation.

At the same time, the planet is facing the "void" star in the middle of the ocean that is constantly steaming, and the place where the star is facing is constantly flashing a strong light, and the sea is rapidly heated, and a powerful tsunami is generated to rush to the intersection of yin and yang, the "Golden Hoop of the Great Sage" ecological zone.

The surging waters engulfed the entire ecological ring, destroying forests and towns in between, and then surging into the shadowy glaciers and ice caps, melting them and stirring up a terrible flood of water vapor.

As the sea water continues to pour towards the shady side, the steam from the sunny side also accelerates the melting of the shady ice sheet as it is carried to the shady atmosphere.

Then the image was accelerated, and everyone soon saw that the yang atmosphere of the planet "Taiji" also dissipated to the yin side, and a huge round hole gradually came into view.

The stereoscopic imaging showed that twenty-four hours later, the large hole in the sunny side of the planet was completely exposed, and the ice sheet and atmosphere in the negative side also melted away, and they were all sucked into another huge round hole in the negative side of the same shape and scale as the large hole in the yang side.

The planet "Taiji" has finally shed its thousand-year-old camouflage and is truly in the world.

"The structure of the 'easy' star!" Jiang Ziyue couldn't help but shout.

"That's right, Colonel." Academician Tao Chengjun responded calmly, "They are all the same structure. But 'Tai Chi' will show us the terrifying power that 'Yi' has not shown. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the "Taiji" planet on the image was rolling faster and faster, and its revolution was also accelerating, and its orbit was gradually shearing inward, as if it was being sucked by the strong gravitational pull of the "too void" star, and was spiraling towards the star.

But at the same time, the "void" of the star has also become very active, and countless sunspots continue to appear, so that a large black area is formed on the surface of the star; Countless flares also flashed, and countless sunbait rushed into space.

Suddenly, the planet "Taiji" emitted a bright beam of light towards the huge hole* of the "void" star, reaching the surface of the "void". The beam of light was fleeting, but where the surface of the "void" star was illuminated, it provoked a violent reaction and began to erupt violently.

An indescribably huge solar bait rushed into space, carrying a huge amount of high-energy material, and under the inertia of the star's rotation, it formed an arc and flew towards the "Taiji" planet.

The planet "Taiji", which rotates at high speed while spiraling on the ecliptic plane, quickly uses its huge hole towards the "void" star to accurately absorb the stellar material that erupts.

The star-absorbing spectacle of a magnificent planet absorbing stellar matter is thus unfolded in front of the world.

"Taiji" rolls at high speed, while reducing the radius of its orbit, and at the same time absorbs the material ejected by the star's "Taixu".

Forty-eight hours have passed, and the planet Taiji has steadily orbited in a circular orbit less than 300,000 kilometers above the surface of the star.

It orbits unaffected in the corona of millions of degrees Celsius and maintains a very high speed of revolution and rotation, making one revolution around the "void" almost every earth hour.

However, the flow of high-energy matter that always connects it to the "Tai Xu" is like a huge pipe, continuously transporting a huge amount of matter to the big hole of the "Tai Chi" planet.

Then, at this point, the image also stopped abruptly. The Archon's office was restored to its usual lights.

People did not recover immediately, and the image of Xiongqi just now had a strong impact on them.

After a long time, Tao Chengjun sighed: "There are more phenomena of mutual absorption between stars, but the planet's 'star absorption method' is unprecedented in human history. Not to mention that it is an artificial planet. The prehistoric super civilizations that were able to create planets such as 'Taiji' and 'Yi' must have developed to an unimaginable level. ”

"Is the absorption of the 'Tai Chi' planet by absorbing the 'Tai Xu' star just to repair itself?" Jiang Ziyue asked.

"It should be." Tao Chengjun replied, "Judging from your report, it scans your genetic sequence to find a way to repair itself. Well, what we're seeing is likely to be the implementation of this approach. ”

"The mass of the 'Taixu' star is more than 300,000 times that of the 'Taiji' planet, can the 'Taiji' planet really swallow so much matter?" Jiang Ziyue asked, his tone still full of surprise.

Although he is one of the very few people in the human race who has been lucky enough to go underground on the planet "Taiji" and come into contact with its ruler "Taiyi", the performance of "Taiji" still surprised and amazed this hero who galloped through space for nearly a million light years.

Tao Chengjun quickly answered his question and said, "As you can see just now, this shouldn't be a problem. Based on the observed data transmitted back by the Calabi-Yau Chengtong, it only takes 168 Earth hours for the planet Taiji to absorb all the stars in the void. ”

"One hundred and sixty-eight earth hours is seven days. So now the 'Taiji' planet has already swallowed the 'Taixu' star into its belly. Archon Wang Zeren said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Tao Chengjun replied without hesitation, "I believe that the next batch of data of the 'Calabi-Yau Chengtong' will be even more amazing, and it is very likely that the 'Taiji' planet will even absorb the core of the 'Taixu' star." ”

"In this way, the 'void' star system under the jurisdiction of the Senate and the Roman people no longer exists." Wang Zeren, who spoke, was sitting precariously with a grim expression.

In his eyes, the absorption of "Tai Chi" stars by the "Tai Chi" planet is not only a matter of science and technology, but also an extremely important political issue.

"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon." Tao Chengjun boldly put forward his opinion, "With what we have seen so far, the ability of the 'Taiji' planet to destroy the entire human world of the Yingxian Spiral Arm is by no means a problem. Then, as Colonel Jiang Ziyue mentioned in his report, according to the statement that 'Taiji' dominates 'Taiyi', 'Yi', an interstellar planet of the same kind as 'Taiji', must also have the same ability. Although they have not yet shown hostility towards us, I strongly recommend that Your Excellency the Consuls and the Senate make a decision for the good of the Roman people and the whole human world. ”

Speaking of the back, Tao Chengjun seemed very excited, and could even be described as "impassioned".

But Wang Zhiren said in a calm tone: "Academician Tao, I understand your thoughts. But this was not something that the Senate could do alone with the Roman people. Also, I think the Perseus Interstellar Federation also has corresponding reporting and observation capabilities on the side. ”

"Your Excellency, I think that the same research and discussion must be going on on on in the Perseus Commonwealth as we do." Jiang Ziyue said, "That Colonel Luo Bo, the son of General Su Yu, came into contact with the 'Taiji' planetary 'Taiyi' gang members with me. He knows what he knows. Moreover, he was once captured by the 'Yi' star and entered the 'Yi' star. Therefore, it is suggested that we should wait and see what happens, and wait for the reaction of the Perseus Commonwealth......"

Wang Zeren waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Colonel Jiang, your words are very reasonable. Concentrate on your preparations, however, as you will have to make presentations and special presentations at the special session of the Senate in the afternoon. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Wang Zeren turned to ask Tao Chengjun and said, "Academician Tao, there should be no problem with your report in the afternoon, right?" ”

Tao Chengjun hurriedly said: "The first part does not need to be changed, but in the second half, I would like to make an unscripted statement after the arrival of the notification ship of the 'Calabi-Yau Chengtong'." As planned, the unmanned notification ship will arrive in a little more than an hour, and I have enough time to collate the latest observations and make a scientific opinion to the Senate. In addition, there is a new finding that needs to be included in the report. ”

"What's new?" Wang Zeren was surprised.

"Yes. The person in charge of the situation is on the way, and will report back to you in a moment. Tao Chengjun did not continue to elaborate on the details, apparently he was concerned about confidentiality.

"Okay. Colonel Jiang Ziyue, you can go back first, and we'll see you in the afternoon. Wang Zeren instructed.

"Yes, Your Excellency." After Jiang Ziyue finished answering, he raised his hand and saluted, shouting: "VENI, VIDI, VICI."

Wang Zeren stood up and raised his hand in return.

Jiang Ziyue turned around and raised his hand to salute Tao Chengjun, the chief academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and then left quickly.

When Jiang Ziyue left the Privy Council, he happened to meet Dr. Cai Lili, the scientific director of the "Tian Zaidan" project.

Dr. Cai is dressed in a pearl-white skirt suit, exuding intellectual beauty, but his expression is serious and his eyes are full of anxiety.

In accordance with the respect of the imperial soldiers for intellectuals, and also based on gratitude for the crucial help in the defense of the "new Byzantine" planet, Jiang Ziyue immediately raised his hand to salute the other party.

"Hello, Dr. Tsai."

But she didn't want to, Cai Lili reciprocated his enthusiasm in a stern tone: "Colonel Jiang, I really want to slap you hard, and then slap myself twice!" ”

In the face of the sudden "attack", Jiang Ziyue, who has always been fearless in danger, didn't know what to do, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Dr. Cai, may I ask what is going on?" ”

"The so-called 'Sun Killing' you launched on May 6, I should never have helped you." Her tone was full of remorse.

Jiang Ziyue seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly asked, "Dr. Cai, could it be that the 'space storm' launched by our 'Zheng He' fleet at that time caused any major adverse effects?" ”

"Yes." Cai Lili's tone became worried, "The Academy of Sciences originally asked for secrecy, but you are the culprit, I still think it is better for you, a sinner, to understand your heinous crimes as soon as possible." Although the 'space storm' from your fleet is not very large, it is too close to the Himalayan star to affect its gravity, which interferes with the stability of the giant planets Helen and Paris in their orbits. The 'Ring of the Nibelungen' has calculated the ultimate consequences of this gravitational change. ”

"Could it be that the 'Cerberus' Samsung system will collapse at an accelerated rate?" Jiang Ziyue was very keen, and at the same time shocked again.

"Colonel, to be precise, your fleet approached the Himalayan star and launched a space storm that upset the fragile balance of the Cerberus system and threw them into chaos. And the 'neo-Byzantine' planet we live on now will be torn apart by the powerful gravitational pull of stars, giant planets and dwarfs in the coming months and years! We and billions of living beings will become honey cakes in the mouths of the murderous 'three-headed dog'! ”

Cai Lili's voice sounded almost hysterical. But instead of continuing to describe the impending apocalyptic horrors to Jiang Ziyue, she walked away quickly and walked towards the tall porch of the Privy Council.

Seeing the back of Dr. Cai Lili in the distance, Jiang Ziyue felt extremely heavy.

Under the bright sun of the "Himalayas" star, Jiang Ziyue's face was full of gloom, which was not only caused by the big brim, but also a portrayal of his heart.

The "Star Destroyer" lives up to its title.

In order to rescue the besieged "Mao Ze Dong" fleet, Jiang Ziyue commanded the fleet to attack the federal metal hydrogen base of the planet "Atlantis", destroying the planet whose ecosystem was already very fragile. Later, he led the "Zheng He" fleet to destroy the invading "Robb" task force, using the flare of the "Himalayas" star, to launch a space storm, but he did not want to cause such a terrible catastrophe - the planet "New Byzantium" will fall into a catastrophe with the chaos of the "Cerberus" three-star system.

Jiang Ziyue raised his head, looked up at the sun "Himalayas", and felt indifferent.

Looking back on his years of crisscrossing the stars, he can be described as majestic, destroying countless enemies, but he also pushed his motherland and people into the abyss of danger without wanting to.

"Ziyue—"

The familiar cry pulled Jiang Ziyue's consciousness back to reality. Corporal Dana Kira Pontick waved enthusiastically at her from the steps of the Privy Council.

The two had already made an appointment, and they would go to the Fang "Fang Kong Star City" Apicius Restaurant together at noon today.

Originally, Jiang Ziyue and Dana hoped to relive the good times of their first acquaintance in the old place. However, when the wine was mixed with honey and mineral water, Jiang Ziyue did not show the slightest pleasure.

Dana immediately understood that the man in front of her had something on his mind. She asked with concern, "Ziyue, is something happening?" ”

"There's something. However, I can't explain it to you just yet. Jiang Ziyue replied bluntly.

"No matter what happens, I love you and will always be on your side." Dana said with a smile.

Anyone who sees that smile knows that it is caused by sincerity from the heart.

This only made Jiang Ziyue feel even more pressure, looking at the beautiful and innocent Dana in front of him, as well as the men and women who came and went around him, and even the city of New Rome, the entire "New Byzantium" planet, countless people and countless families, along with their beautiful lives, will be shattered because of his mistakes.

"Thank you, Dana." Jiang Ziyue said gratefully as he shook Dana's hand.

"I remember two years ago, you said here that you wanted to leave here and go to a distant planet to live again." Dana recalled.

"Yes. But I flew around the universe and came back here. Jiang Ziyue said with emotion.

"Ziyue, can you leave the army, and then we will leave together and live on a distant planet?"

Jiang Ziyue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dana, maybe it could be like this before." But now, I'm afraid not. At least for some time to come, I don't want to leave, and I can't leave this planet yet. ”

Jiang Ziyue said and turned his face out of the window. Through the smart glass, he has a bird's-eye view of the bustle and hustle and bustle of the city of New Rome, as well as the beauty and richness of the planet "Neo-Byzantium". Then he turned his face back to Dana, and said:

"Dana, there are more responsibilities that I need to take on in the future."

"I understand you. I love you, I really love you. ”

Dana Kira Pontik said affectionately. But she seems to have seen through everything.
