Chapter 17: Cosmic Forbidden Zone: Starry Sky!

Sue!

The Sand Age, who had assimilated with Marge's heart, shuttled between the stars and soon reached the outermost part of Pluto.

This is the most marginal area of the solar system, and it is also the last barrier for human civilization to break through the solar system.

Here, dwarf planets and asteroids, including Pluto, form a vast planetary belt, also known as the Kuiper Belt.

Beyond the Kuiper Belt, there is an area called the Oort Cloud, which is home to comets.

Further beyond is the nearest galaxy to the solar system, the Alpha Centauri galaxy, which is made up of three stars.

In a sense, all the regions within the Oort cloud can be counted as the scope of the solar system.

The Oort cloud region, in particular, is a natural protective layer for the entire solar system.

The distance of one light year has basically eliminated all non-man-made cosmic disasters.

Even a civilization with faster-than-light technology wants to break through this comet zone and reach the earth, which is not a simple matter.

Fortunately, Mackina is not an ordinary creature of civilization.

After arriving at the Kuiper Belt, its speed was raised to a notch again, entering the stage of real astronautics.

It just so happened at this time that a shocking scene happened.

Buzz Buzz......

Looking from afar, I saw that the originally static comet zone suddenly turned.

All comets within a light-year radius seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, and they quickly turned and moved in an astonishing manner.

With the rotation of the entire Oort cloud region.

The solar system, located at its center, also seems to have some kind of anomalous distortion.

The light emitted from the stars began to gradually restrict, and the curvature of space-time on the cosmic scale was forcibly closed.

Magina, who witnessed this scene, even figured out what was going on, and was forcibly squeezed out of the Oort Cloud region and into the endless cosmic void.

In the blink of an eye, the original solar system disappeared, replaced by a vast region infinitely close to a black hole.

【Lu Xuan!! 】

Observing all of this through Magina's perspective, Saki's mind shook violently uncontrollably.

Without even thinking about it, you can know that this kind of anti-heaven method of manipulating the stars and even hundreds of millions of comets on a cosmic scale, it is estimated that only Lu Xuan can do it on the entire earth.

Just as shocking as the Sand Age were the other extraterrestrial civilizations that were watching the solar system all the time.

To tell the truth, the races that can become cosmic-level civilizations more or less have a big killer weapon exclusive to the stars.

Neutron Annihilation, Mass Projection, Dimensional Strike......

But they never imagined that there would be a civilization that could directly control the stars of the entire solar system and protect their home planet.

Through the curvature generator projected in the Oort cloud region, hundreds of millions of comets are driven to move against the curvature of time and space.

Under such a large-scale, massive astral movement, the rules of space-time are forcibly rewritten.

Not to mention forcibly breaking into the Oort Cloud area, which has no regular movement......

Even if a god-level civilization with the ability to manipulate time comes, it is impossible to imagine that in this chaotic curvature of time and space, it will successfully find the correct coordinate direction.

Within a few light-years of the solar system, this is a region of man-made black holes.

Any energy and matter that trespasses into this area will become part of the black hole region of the Oort Cloud, a line of defense to hide the coordinates of the Earth.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

If anything, extrasolar civilizations are shocked.

Then what human civilization, which is the object of protection this time, feels panic.

TPC's Cosmic Observatory was the first human agency to perceive the anomaly, but they simply couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The stars suddenly shifted, and time and space were suddenly reversed......

In addition to the eight planets in the solar system, they are still moving according to their original trajectories.

The stars other than the eight planets seem to suddenly be in their original positions at a certain moment.

Not only that, but the deep space probes that TPC has dropped into the solar system have also been cut off due to the existence of the "starry sky".

In this absolute space-time, which is similar to a black hole, even super-space-time communication based on the "quantum entanglement theory" cannot achieve effective information exchange.

"The Universe Beyond the Solar System...... Gone!? ”

Standing on the observation platform in a daze, the observers of the Space Observation Bureau had dull eyes and blank expressions.

Because at this moment, he suddenly remembered a saying that had been circulated in human society a long time ago.

That is, the earth is really just a server built on the virtual world.

The starry sky of the universe beyond the earth is just a sticker deliberately posted by the developers of Earth Online in order not to let human beings gain insight into the truth.

"Idiot, what are you thinking about!"

A slap was slapped on the back of the observer's head, and the director of the Observatory, who had appeared on the observatory at some point, scolded him.

"It's just that the comet in the Oort cloud region has a problem, and the other stars haven't moved."

After all, looking up at the starry sky that was different from his own perception, the director's hands still trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't know who exactly it was that disturbed the trajectory of the comet in the Oort Cloud region.

He didn't know who it was that used the hundreds of millions of comets to create a wide-area space-time curvature interference device.

The only thing the director of the Space Observatory can be sure of is that human civilization may have encountered its greatest problem since its inception.

When the trajectories of the stars are disturbed, when the solar system is isolated independently......

Is it possible for humans trapped in the solar system to break through the Oort cloud region, which is almost a black hole in space-time, and go to the real universe?

"Perhaps...... The extraterrestrial coalition might know what's going on? ”

When the observer tentatively asked the question, he received a negative answer from his own director.

"How could they possibly know what's going on now that they're trapped in this solar system like us?"

The director of the Cosmic Observation Bureau sighed deeply, and his expression became much haggard at this moment.

"Go back and report to the rest of TPC! This matter is beyond our reach. ”

"No, maybe someone has noticed the change in the sky."

"After tonight, I'm afraid even ordinary people will be able to notice the stars that have been reversed."
