130 ruins.

The hive-like research station hung high on the flat wall, the vertical hatch opened, and a swarm of robots rushed out like worker bees that got up early to collect honey, flying straight to the lower end of the giant pillar.

The Star Boat did not leave halfway, and when it received the order, it happened to finish scanning the giant pillar and found the entrance to the giant pillar.

The entire Xingzhou team was very interested in the internal structure of the giant pillar, but they received an urgent order from the headquarters and had to give up the idea of entering the giant pillar.

The follow-up research work was naturally handed over to the scientific research station, and the robots were replaced with human self-produced goods.

It's not that the research station doesn't want to leave the force field robot, but no one can control this thing without the Xingzhou, and the researchers can only envy it no matter how greedy they are.

However, human-made robots are not as versatile as force field robots, with surprisingly high flight time and energy consumption, and a much higher failure rate than force field robots, which must be overhauled every two days.

The most important reason for this situation is that these robots apply the latest anti-gravity technology, but this technology is not perfect, so there are many problems.

The military didn't want to do that, but the planet had no atmosphere, and in addition to anti-gravity, it had to use jet engines with its own oxidizers, which consumed a lot of fuel, and every drop had to be transported from Earth, which was too high for the research station to afford.

The military also has another set of solutions, which is simply to build a number of traction beam emission points on the inner wall of the ruins, and control the position and height of the robot through the index beam.

However, the ruins are so large that at least a few thousand launch points are needed to ensure that the robot can reach every position freely.

People have to die than people, goods have to be thrown away, no matter from which point of view, anti-gravity robots are more cost-effective.

The flaws are not hidden, in short, it is right.

After half a month of trial, the performance of the new robot is quite stable, and the scientific research team decided to enter the giant pillar today.

Swarms of robots flew to the base of the pillar and found the entrance, which was only a few meters square.

Contrary to what is imagined, this entrance does not have a hatch, but is closed with an invisible force field.

The force field not only isolates the high heat outside, but also isolates toxic gases, but does not affect the entry and exit of the robot!

Humans have been studying force fields for decades, but they have always been hard-hitting protective force fields, and this kind of isolated protective force field is not even on the Star Boat.

Everything was ready, the first two robots slowly moved forward, submerged into the force field, and the situation in the giant pillar was immediately revealed in front of the scientific research team.

More robots entered, and it was not long before they figured out what was going on inside the column.

Surprisingly, the pillar was the size of half a football field, much smaller than expected, and there was no high-tech equipment found, just an unremarkable space.

The more advanced the more unpretentious? Or is there another space in the column?

While the scientific research team was arguing, I don't know what mechanism the robot that entered the pillar triggered, and the ring at the bottom of the giant pillar suddenly glowed with a faint brilliance.

Under the glow of the lava, this very inconspicuous change went unnoticed by anyone. ….

After a few moments, the second ring is lit, followed by the ninth and fourteenth layers...... Not every layer of the ring structure can be lit, and the interval between climbing each layer is also different, basically the higher you go, the faster the speed of lighting.

By the time the scientific research team finally found out that something was wrong, the giant pillar had already lit up a third.

In a moment, the needle drop can be heard in the scientific research station.

No one knows what such a change represents, but with the activation of an alien relic of unknown function, it is a person who knows that something is not good!

The stationmaster immediately ordered the evacuation, and everyone quickly entered the lifeboat at the top of the research station, launched away from the ruins, and then rushed into space.

As the lifeboat broke free from its gravitational constraints, the long-dormant ruins suddenly opened, revealing a huge cannon muzzle of astonishing diameter.

The next second, a bright light

The column erupted suddenly, piercing a star dozens of astronomical units away!

Everyone was stunned by this scene, is this going to be blown up again?

Researchers are also human beings, and witnessing this scene, everyone's hearts are extremely worried, and they collectively foresee that the crisis is coming.

However, as scientists, they are eager to see for themselves how the giant pillars left by aliens turn a good star into a supernova that explodes.

The problem is that no one knew in advance that such an accident would happen, and the lifeboat only has the ability to fly to the stars, and does not have the ability to cross interstellar space.

They could only send out a distress signal and wait for the rescue of the front-line fleet.

Since you can't leave, it's better to do your job.

Everyone settled down and carefully recorded all the changes - at this time, the lifeboat could still receive the signal from the robot, and through the camera, it could be seen that the ground that had been tumbling lava was dark at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was already pitch black after a while.

If a knife were to cut open the planet, you could see that the "roots" of the giant pillars deep into the ground were absorbing a lot of lava energy, and wherever the roots touched, all the lava was dim and solidified in a very short time.

A moment later, the pillar of light pierced the star like a spear.

At first, the star did not change significantly, but after a while, the stellar material around the pillar of light gradually swelled up, like the sea under a storm.

The tumbling waves spread rapidly, and it didn't take long for a huge speck of bright light to form on the surface of the star.

The volume of stars is much larger than that of the Earth, and any seemingly inconspicuous ripple can hold a small half of the Himalayas when laid on the Earth, not to mention those huge waves, and putting the Moon in it is like putting a small boat on the sea!

After only half a day, the raging storm was fully covered, the brightness of the star doubled, and the light emitted had turned blue-white, like a blue dwarf - its fusion speed and greatly increased, or rather, the star was burning the rest of its life, and it would not be long before it became a red giant!

Through precise observations, the research team calculated that the star only had a dozen years left to live.

However, the pillar of light continues, and the reaction rate of the stellar matter continues to rise, which means that its lifespan is still shortening! ….

In just a few days, it was reduced to 10 years!

At this rate, it will enter the red giant stage in half a month at most!

Fortunately, there is this half a month, which gives the scientific research team enough buffer time, otherwise everyone would not know how they died, and there would be no chance to record such precious stellar evolution data!

That's right, data.

While this rate of evolution is unusual, the pillar of light only accelerates or catalyzes the evolution of stars, rather than destroying them in one fell swoop or other more violent means.

Therefore, the scientific research team is like watching an ultra-fast star aging, and every data is consistent with the slow-moving star!

So, what's the reason not to record it?

When the battleship in charge of the rescue arrived, the star was about to enter the red giant stage, and some of the team would rather risk their lives than see it with their own eyes, so anxious that the rescuers scolded.

It is said that if you don't go crazy, you can't live, but today is considered to be insightful, and there are still people who do not hesitate to take risks in order to observe the sun!

But the task of the battleship is to take away the scientific research team, and if you can't complete the mission, you can't leave, how can the captain let his soldiers go on adventures with the scientific research maniacs?

He directly ordered the soldiers to put the scientific researchers on the battleship, and as long as the battleship left, the mission was completed.

However, before the battleship could depart, the pillar of light that had lasted for more than half a month suddenly disappeared, and the state of the star slowly stabilized at the stage of entering the red giant.

Although it is unclear what happened, researchers agree that this is because the giant pillar has already detonated a supernova, pumping the planet's energy almost out, and the remaining energy in the star cannot support another detonation.

A catastrophe has finally been resolved, warriors

Happy, but every member of the scientific research team looked dejected, which made the soldiers suspicious: Is there something wrong with these people, and they have to blow up the star to be happy?

But then again, if you can really blow up a star with your own hands, will it also go down in the history of mankind?

This is the same meaning as being famous in history!

No wonder these scientific maniacs are like being beaten one by one!

When the news reached the headquarters, the three giants wiped a cold sweat and immediately ordered all the scientific research stations that no one should enter the inside of the giant pillar without permission, including robots and various detectors.

In addition, the research in full swing has also been greatly restricted, everything close to the solar system, even if it is discovered, can not be studied, but form a team, find a way to destroy it, only far away from the solar system, or the star has been blasted giant pillars can be studied, to maximize the safety of the earth.

Fortunately, there are very few special cases of binary stars like 130, and most of the giant pillars detonate the stars to complete their historical mission.

Further research has revealed that the metal used to construct the pillars is extraordinary, possessing mechanical strength far beyond human comprehension.

This discovery immediately caused the military to be high, and even the first reaction of the bigwigs was to build a new industrial base on the planet with giant pillars and use alien metals to build warships.

But it's just an idea at the moment, after all, those metals have already been smelted and formed, and even if the composition is exactly the same, re-smelting will not reach the original strength. ….

Of course, as long as the drop is not too much, the military is perfectly acceptable.

Since then, the corresponding research has been in full swing...... Although the situation facing humanity is dire, so far the real threat has not been directly presented, so life has to go on.

Soon after, the latest news came from the front fleet, and after more than 100 light years of deep penetration into enemy territory, the battleships investigating supernovae found that the stars there were normal, and no new supernovae were found.

From Aldebaran to the current position of the fleet, the distance in a straight line is about three hundred light years!

Before the doubts of mankind have been answered, new news has come from the front fleet: there are indeed no supernovas on the front, but there are still on both sides!"

After receiving the notification from the headquarters, Ou Zhanpeng marked all the known supernovae on the star map, and then zoomed out the star map, and immediately made a new discovery: the supernova that had been detonated formed a death zone with a width of more than 300 light-years between the solar system and the stars near the Orion arm.

Ou Zhan stood up proudly, "Their purpose is not to destroy the Star Beasts, but to create a barrier...... The distance that the Star Beast flies over is limited, and it must be the Star Beast that can fly at a limited distance!"

Gong Yiding stared at the star map, his expression extremely solemn: "We're in trouble!"

Ling Xiao probed his brain curiously, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Gong Yiding pointed on the star map: "The solar system is just on the edge of the separation zone!"

Hearing him say this, everyone also realized that the situation was not right.

Judging from the star chart, the solar system is located in a less obvious protrusion, which belongs to the kind of position where it is better to explode and it seems that it does not matter if it does not explode.

However, everyone turned their heads to look at the giant planet, and their eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds and fall on the giant pillar hidden in the depths of the planet!

"It's hard to say what the solar system will be like right now, but it's definitely within the detonation range here!" Ou Zhanpeng's whole person was not good, "Gong Lao, if Civilization A detonates 667, how much will the earth be affected?"

"It's impossible to be completely unaffected, but according to the information we have, the power of 667's explosion is certainly not as strong as a real supernova, and the Earth will definitely be affected, but there will be no full-blown mass extinction...... At most, that's the level of dinosaur extinction."

Ou Zhanpeng's mind immediately appeared in the scorched earth of the earth, a barren scene.

He knew very well what preparations had been made, and knew that most of the people would survive, but the ray burst was only part of the disaster, and the subsequent climate change and how to restore the earth were the problems that humanity needed to face.

It's also important to note that all of this is built on the premise that there is no closer than 667

At the tipping point of the ball, if there are nearer supernovas, the Earth will not be spared.

Thinking of this, Ou Zhanpeng sighed faintly: "Now let's see if civilization A will appear."

There was silence.

Although the Star Boat was ordered to wait here, there was always a hurdle in everyone's hearts, that is, when activating the giant pillar, whether Civilization A needed to come forward in person!

If it was just a remote start, the Star Ark would not have had the opportunity to meet with the other party at all, let alone communicate and dissuade.

Ling Xiao grinned: "It would be great if we could teleport the earth out, let's move directly to another galaxy, live our little life in An'an, and let other civilizations fight on their own!"

The words are not rough, and I immediately remembered the approval of many people.

Ou Zhanpeng came up with another thought: "Gong Lao, if the prophet and civilization A are really at the same level, what means should the base have to directly contact each other, right?"

Gong Yiding shook his head: "Even if there is, it's not something we can grasp now."

"Can't you just think of a way?" "For example, read the prophet's brain!"
