Ou Zhanpeng thought that it would only take a month to scan the Optimus Giant Pillar, but within a few days, he found that his estimate was too optimistic.

One month is the time for the robot to sweep vertically from the top to the root, and the structure of the column is much more complex than imagined, once it encounters an expansion or contraction structure, the robot will waste a lot of time on the horizontal structure, carefully calculated, I am afraid that two months may not be able to sweep it all.

If you can enter the inside of the giant pillar, it will be short to sweep for another two months, and if you can't do it well, it is not surprising that it will be delayed for half a year.

Ou Zhanpeng reported the situation to the headquarters, and the three giants discussed for a while, and gave Xingzhou an unusually clear answer: scan the giant pillar with all your might!

In other words, no matter whether it is a war against the seven civilizations or something else, it is not necessary for the Star Boat to care.

And the follow-up tasks have also been arranged, and when this pillar is swept, the planet Aldebaran will also be swept.

Accurate scan comparison is beneficial for further research.

That's what the military thought and did, and the corresponding research team was set up as quickly as possible, and it didn't take long to send it to the 130 galaxy.

At the same time, there was also a scientific research ship, the most important feature of this ship is that it is equipped with a set of small rail elevators.

That's right, it's the rail elevator.

The spacecraft acts as an orbital space station, the bilge is opened, the ultra-high-strength cable hangs directly to the predetermined landing site, and then the personnel and materials are sent to the ground with a small ladder, which is certainly not as fast as the landing craft, but it is simple, convenient, and low-cost.

It is said that this thing is a new technology developed by the military for interstellar immigrants, and it has not been used on the immigration ship, but it was first opened on the scientific research ship.

Then, day and night, a batch of equipment and robots were sent into the ruins, first punching holes in the walls, then bolting them, and finally combining special rooms - the radiation intensity in the ruins was found to be much smaller than the outside.

The end result is a small research station fixed to the wall, which can accommodate 8 to 10 people for permanent work.

If a little comfort is sacrificed, the total number of people can be increased to about 20 people.

Originally, the military planned to use wireless power transmission to solve the energy problem of the research station, but the walls of the ruins perfectly shielded the transmission signal, unless the emission source was facing the window.

But it doesn't matter, the military has built so many scientific research stations, and they have a lot of experience, and they immediately built a small ray battery power station outside the window!

Because the ambient radiation was too strong, the military had to wrap the receiving equipment in heavy lead glass, but the reduced radiation could still provide enough power for the research station.

It is said that at this point, the Xingzhou can completely hand over the follow-up research work to the scientific research station, but the problem is that the force field robot cannot do without the control of the battleship, and the Xingzhou can only continue to stay here.

In order to speed up, Ou Zhanpeng increased the number of robots to 26, shortening the workload from more than two months to about 10 days.

Ou Zhanpeng didn't want to stay here and waste time, so he could only increase the number of robots.

After the research station and ancillary works were completed, the research ship returned to Earth and sent another set of equipment and personnel to Aldebaranb, the planet discovered by Star Ark near Aldebaran. ….

The battleship cut the ruins, painted the gourd in the same way, and built another research station.

But that's just the beginning!

Solar System, United Fleet Ground Command Center, Confidential Conference Room.

The triumvirate sat together again, but the expression on their faces was full of unexplainable worry.

Zhou Guangyi swiped his fingers, the conference table changed to a monitor in seconds, and a special document opened: "This is the result of the exploration of the frontline fleet during this time, and 17 supernovae have been discovered so far, and their distribution range is not wide, with an average of one in 50 to 70 light years."

As he spoke, a holographic star map rose on the table, with a dozen flickering points of light, each representing a supernova.

Directly above the star map, there are also line segments representing the scale, looking at the number markers, one centimeter represents one light year.

Zhou Guangyi clicked again

As soon as the table topped up, one of the flickering points of light exploded, and the aftermath spread out in all directions, followed by a second and a third...... Seventeen supernovae exploded one after another, producing gamma-ray bursts that overlapped each other and eventually covered the projection.

"This is the result of our analysis based on what we know so far, each outbreak is only a few weeks apart, and as the rayburst continues to spread, the raystorm will completely cover the area for decades to come, when all the star beasts will be killed by the rayburst, both in space and on the ground."

Shan Qiuyu rubbed his temples, his thoughts were surging like a tidal wave, but he didn't know how to describe his mood.

There was silence for a long time before breaking the silence: "This civilization ...... For the time being, let's call Civilization A, they are so much stronger than us, it feels like a mountain pressing down on our heads, and it can collapse at any time."

"Me too." Mu Xingyu said.

For people who don't know the truth, they may find it funny to hear the Big Three talk like this.

But in it, I can only feel depression and fear.

Originally, they only knew that Civilization A was very powerful, but they never expected that they would be so powerful.

Zhou Guangyi sighed: "Compared with civilization A, we are no different from ants in the nest, what do you think civilization A will have towards human beings?"

The implication is that if Civilization A had no scruples, would it ignore the existence of human beings and directly detonate a supernova near the solar system?

"Attitude?" The corners of Shan Qiuyu's mouth twitched, "Do you need it?"

Silence fell in the room again.

Yes, do humans need to care about ants?

In the same way, does civilization A need to care about what humans think?

Mu Xingyu thought for a while and said, "Optimistically, the more advanced and civilized, the more civilized it is, and it should take into account the safety of native species, but I personally think that the situation is definitely not so optimistic."

The more advanced the race, the more civilized it is, which has always been the consensus of mankind, but this is a judgment based on the logic of human beings themselves, and the actual situation is far from that simple.

After human beings went to the interstellar world, they have come into contact with many interstellar civilizations, but these civilizations are far less advanced than imagined.

In other words, what is advanced is only technology, but what is backward is the humanities.

It's the interstellar era, and it's still the imperial system, do you dare to believe it?

The battleships have been sailed out for dozens of hundreds of light years, and his grandmother is slavery, can you believe it? ….

Therefore, advanced and powerful may not necessarily be equated with civilization, and if the social system of civilization A lags far behind the level of science and technology, no one dares to guarantee what will happen.

Even if Civilization A focused on hunting powerful creatures like the Predator Warrior, Mu Xingyu didn't feel strange at all.

Zhou Guangyi rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache: "We haven't even touched a single hair of Civilization A, it's too early to think about this, since the ultimate goal of Civilization A is to destroy the Star Beast, then the most important problem at the moment is to find out if there is any trace of Civilization A within 50 light years."

The three of them sighed together, and Shan Qiuyu said, "It's not clear what the situation of Optimus Prime is at the moment, so I can only check all the planets, which is not a small amount of work!"

Chow Guangyi made up his mind and took a clear stand: "It is a matter of the safety of the planet, and it must be launched as soon as possible. My idea is this, any galaxy with a scientific research station should immediately start self-examination; For galaxies without research stations, warships are arranged nearby; The other galaxies immediately transferred warships, especially the front-line fleet, leaving some warships to continue the investigation, and the rest of the warships were all transferred back, leaving not a single one."

"That's all it can be." Shan Qiuyu nodded, "I suggest dividing the fleet into two batches, one batch from near to far; The other group first examines the more dangerous large stars, and then the less likely red dwarfs. And you can't limit the radius to 50 light-years, you have to look further afield."

Thanks to the hard work of our ancestors, we can let mankind know that only massive stars are eligible to become supernovae, and that the more massive the better.

Civilization A must also look for such stars first, and there is really no suitable object, so it will set its sights on the second-level stars.

As for the red dwarf, will it work...... Shan Qiuyu thinks that eighty percent of it is okay, but the quality of the red dwarf is too low, even if it can be detonated, the coverage will not be too large, and it can't even cover ten light years, which is time-consuming and laborious and can't achieve the goal, so the possibility of civilization A detonating the red dwarf is very small.

Zhou Guangyi and Mu Xingyu nodded together, and the latter suggested, "It's not our family's business, don't you notify other civilizations?"

"Inform me, including the Rohres." Zhou Guangyi said.

Although the Star Boat has not been able to continue the negotiations, the tone has been negotiated, and the military has specially sent a new team to continue the negotiations, and the phased results have been achieved.

"By the way, find out where the home planet of other civilizations is, if there are no other civilizations within the damage range of the ray burst, then we are safe, otherwise...... We're going to get ready!" Shan Qiuyu said.

"Our civil air defense facilities can accommodate the entire population, but gamma rays last for months, and food, medicine, drinking water and sanitation need to be arranged in advance." Mu Xingyu said.

With so many people in the country, the daily consumption is an astronomical amount, and the output is also astronomical, and the initial design of civil air defense facilities is only to hide for a short time, and long-term problems are not considered at all; if they are not handled well, the people who have withdrawn from civil air defense facilities will soon fall into chaos because of lack of food and drinking water.

Hygiene is a top priority, otherwise food and water are enough, feces and urine are flying and sewage is flowing, is it still a place for people to stay? ….

"Is the specifics of the dungeon clear?" Zhou Guangyi asked.

"The work continues, and the completed dungeon can accommodate a third of the people, and the gap is very large." Mu Xingyu said, "The situation abroad is not so optimistic, and one-tenth is more."

Several successive battles to defend the earth, each time it was a near-death death, so the military has long begun to build a large number of dungeons, especially in the highland area.

There are higher elevations and thick crusts that are the best areas to build dungeons.

Secondly, there are major mountain ranges all over the country, and the conditions are not as good as the roof of the world, but they are also rare and excellent areas.

Then there is the undersea city, the difficulty of construction is not lower than that of the dungeon, but the construction conditions are better, the construction speed is faster, and even the environment is much better than the dungeon, which is an important supplement to the national civil air defense system.

However, considering the impact of ray bursts on the global climate, the safety of shallow sea areas cannot be guaranteed, so submarine cities are generally built in areas where the earth's crust is relatively stable.

The undersea city is not a large-scale glass structure like in science fiction movies, but a multi-layered high-strength shell made of various composite materials, and most of the observation windows are small round windows like those on submarines, and only a few areas are reserved for large observation windows.

In the event of an accident, there will also be a large guard to cover the window, and if necessary, the city will be separated to ensure the safety of the underwater city to the greatest extent.

In the face of the great changes of the times, anyone can only prioritize the safety of the majority.

Due to the enormous energy of the ray burst, the minimum depth of the underwater city must be 40 meters, 50 meters is recommended, and preferably less than 70 meters.

Not only did the engineers build a large number of dungeons, but they also built a huge underground transportation network to connect the dungeons one by one.

Trains from the plains do not need to go up to the plateau, and they can enter the underground tunnel from a specific location and go directly to the underground city.

Traffic in the underwater city is a bit more complicated, but it's not that difficult, and the current practice is to lay tracks under the sea and use amphibious trains to get to and fro.

For the public, dungeons are safer, but they are less acceptable, and they are more receptive to undersea cities.

Because of the superior location, some undersea cities can not only see a large number of marine life, but even undersea farms, and for a while, there was even speculation about the real estate of undersea cities.

Due to the vigorous implementation of the military, in recent years, a large number of people have moved under the underground sea, the population of the cities on the ground has decreased significantly, and the small cities in some areas have even been relocated as a whole.

This is also the officially recommended way, after all, in a new environment, if you are surrounded by strangers, it is inevitable that there will be psychological problems.

On the contrary, they are all familiar faces, and even if the environment is harsh, it is easier to overcome.

As for the situation in the outside world, I can't say anything.

Although the military took over the defense of Blue Star, it could not dictate to other small partners, and could only make suggestions through the foreign affairs department.

It's not that the friends don't pay attention to it, but the system of many friends is not so efficient, even if the ready-made examples are in front of them, they can't learn it, which is quite speechless.

The construction of private shelters is quite common, but the quality and depth are different, and the reserves and equipment are a big problem, so it is difficult to say whether they can stop the raystorm.

Some wealthy people with more energy and connections even directly contacted the foreign affairs department and invited engineers through personal connections to help them build private shelters.

But I'm sorry, but I don't have enough engineers to support the outside world for the time being.

This is the case, but even if Civilization A detonates Centaur αA, it will take at least four years for the ray burst to reach Earth, and whether it is your own or a friend, there will be enough time to calmly arrange.

Let's hope the worst doesn't happen!.
