Chapter 361 Can’t Wait!

In the vast Milky Way, in an unknown galaxy, a shining star is burning fiercely, radiating endless light and heat into the universe.

There are four planets orbiting it.

These four planets were originally desolate and dead. But with the arrival of the large-scale fleet of the Heidis civilization, these four planets have truly prospered.

There are at least billions of engineers active in them. One factory after another, one mine after another, energy plants, etc., have formed vast settlements on these four planets that can be clearly seen from space.

Countless large and small spaceships are constantly taking off and landing from them. When they come, the cargo hold is empty, but when they leave, the cargo hold is full, filled with one standard model of hydrogen bomb after another.

After being fully loaded with hydrogen bombs, these spaceships will fly to the edge of the galaxy and then release them. As a result, these hydrogen bombs will arrange neat formations in space by themselves, neatly arranged at a distance of about 1 million kilometers from each other.

Apart from the busy factories and transport fleets, this star system does not show any essential difference from any other star system.

But the people of Heidi who are busy here know that this star system is suffering from strange life.

Dust life.

In fact, it is hard to say whether this thing can be called life. Or rather, they are something between life and non-life.

They have no consciousness, no wisdom, and even cannot reproduce, and their body structure is also extremely simple.

They are extremely small, but there are a lot of them, gathered together, just like interstellar dust.

But this little thing has extremely terrifying abilities.

They can enrich certain specific elements according to certain rules and eventually become the same structure as themselves.

It is not self-replication, but through a certain catalytic mechanism, external substances become the same as themselves.

Therefore, they do not replicate themselves, but achieve a large-scale improvement of their own population.

This is somewhat similar to some crystallization processes, or even some prion infection processes that occur in organisms.

On Earth, Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease in humans, Kuru disease in some primitive tribes with cannibalistic customs, mad cow disease in cattle, pruritus in sheep, etc., are all caused by prion infection.

However, the assimilation ability of dust life is much stronger than that of prions. Once a planet is infected, it won't take long for the entire surface of the planet to be covered with that silver-gray substance.

If there is life on this planet, then life cannot avoid the fate of assimilation and will also be assimilated into silver-gray powder.

This powder has an extremely low density. If the planet has an atmosphere, they can even float to the edge of the atmosphere, and then directly break free from the gravitational field of the planet and enter space through interstellar high-energy radiation, stellar radiation, stellar light pressure, etc., and then start interstellar travel again to find the next target to be assimilated.

Even if the planet has no atmosphere, they can return to space through mechanisms such as volcanic eruptions and asteroid impacts.

They drift with the flow, affected by many factors such as stellar radiation, interstellar radiation, stellar light pressure, gravity, etc., and constantly drift in interstellar space. Wherever they drift to, they will infect and assimilate the planets and life of that star system, and then leave again and continue to drift, repeating this endlessly.

At this moment, what the Heidis civilization is facing is such a magical thing.

In the long confrontation, intelligent civilizations have gradually mastered the way to deal with this thing.

If the planet has been infected, there is no good way. You can only find a way to push the infected planet into the star and use the high temperature of the star to complete the "disinfection" process.

If the planet has not been infected yet, it is simple. Just use high temperature and strong radiation to make them lose the ability to assimilate other substances. To put it more simply, use hydrogen bombs to bomb.

But... there are too many dust lives.

Just like the group of dust life that the Heidis civilization is facing at this moment, its number is estimated to be 1.6*10^34. The longest part of the cluster they form is up to 100 billion kilometers, the width is 25 billion kilometers, the thickest part is about 1.6 billion kilometers, and the total volume reaches 8*10^29 cubic kilometers.

Calculated based on the fact that a special hydrogen bomb can clear a space of 1 million*1 million*1 million cubic kilometers, at least 800 billion of this special hydrogen bombs are needed to clear this group of dust life.

Calculated based on the mass of a special hydrogen bomb of 2 tons, it requires the manufacture, transportation and deployment of a total of 1.6 trillion tons of material.

This level of mass is extremely difficult even for a third-level peak civilization like the Heidis civilization.

Fortunately, at this moment, this group of dust life has moved to the edge of this star system. The Heidis civilization can obtain materials and build factories nearby, and can produce hydrogen bombs on the spot and complete transportation and deployment, which greatly reduces the difficulty, thus making it possible to complete it in the end.

But it is only a possibility.

There is no way, the workload is too large.

This is also the reason why this mission is not dangerous - infection takes time, and the armor of the intelligent life spacecraft can provide perfect protection for intelligent life, but the points reward is as high as 100 million, and no civilization is willing to take it.

If human civilization had not forced them to the edge of the cliff, the Heidis civilization would not be willing to take on such a task.

At this moment, the billions of engineers and technicians of the Heidis civilization are busy on the planet.

There are actually not many things that these intelligent beings need to do. Most of their work types are concentrated on the intellectual level, such as task formulation, plan execution, task allocation, program writing, complex troubleshooting, etc.

From the overall point of view, in the entire project, only less than 1% of the tasks are undertaken by intelligent beings. The remaining more than 99% of the tasks will be completed by various robots and intelligent devices.

But even so, these billions of engineers are still extremely busy and tired.

They dare not slack off for a moment, even eating can only be solved in less than five minutes. Normal Heidis need to sleep 9 hours a day, but here, it is not easy for everyone to maintain 6 hours of sleep.

A large amount of spirit-boosting drugs and unlimited food supply barely maintain the normal functioning of people's brains.

The eyes of the Heidis engineers were red, their hair was unkempt, and their spirits showed an abnormal and morbid excitement.

At least tens of thousands of Heidis engineers have died suddenly.

Often, he was working passionately the last moment, but fell down the next moment.

Some people said they took a nap on the table, but they never woke up again.

Some people fell down while walking and died before they were sent to the hospital.

Similar situations occurred in every position of the Heidis engineering team.

However, the people who were still alive had no time to feel sad about it, and even a simple memorial service could not be held.

There was no time and no energy.

Everyone knew that whether they could complete this mission was related to their final ranking. And their final ranking was related to the overall strategy of civilization and the future destiny of civilization.

We must go all out and complete this mission. For this, it is completely worth making some sacrifices.

Under this circumstance, in this unknown galaxy, hundreds of billions of specially made hydrogen bombs were slowly deployed to the predetermined positions in the dust life cluster.

…

About 27 light years away from the solar system, the Changchen Four galaxy.

Changchen Four is a star that is almost the same as the sun, with similar mass, volume, temperature and element composition.

However, there are no large planets around Changchen Four, only some dwarf planets.

This was originally a desolate and dead star system. Because it has no value, even humans have not visited it much.

But starting a few years ago, this star system has welcomed a large number of people.

One after another, the fifth-level civilization's aerospace motherships appeared in this star system, transporting a large number of third-level civilization's combat spacecraft, engineering spacecraft, logistics spacecraft, etc. here.

To date, the number of combat spacecraft gathered here has exceeded 600,000. The number of soldiers, logistics personnel, civilian personnel, etc. has exceeded 1 billion.

A large-scale war is brewing.

At this moment, the commanders of the expedition fleets of the four major civilizations held a joint meeting.

The highest commanders of the expedition fleets of the four major civilizations, Hongyang, Wuta, Heishui, and Xueyu, were all present.

"Yunguan civilization has received reliable intelligence. In the GH-11589 galaxy, the progress of the 'supernova project' of the Hades civilization has reached more than 80%.

Before the deadline for the Milky Way cleaning mission, the probability of the Hades civilization completing this cleaning mission has risen to more than 95%."

"Good!"

The commanders of various forms were all very happy.

Once the Hades civilization completes the cleaning mission, humans will not be able to get first place.

If you can't get first place, you can't get 200 years of absolute safety time, which means that once the Milky Way cleaning mission is over, your fleet can set off immediately and enter the human territory!

At that time, rush straight to the solar system and attack Huanglong, 600,000 warships will be pressed to destroy humans in one fell swoop!

Human civilization has indeed shown extremely strong combat effectiveness in the previous cleaning mission. Facing the human civilization in its heyday, even if the four major civilizations united and sent out a large fleet of 600,000 warships, it would be unlikely to win.

But now, there are only a few months left before the mission is completed.

The fleet that went to the distant depths of the galaxy to perform the cleanup mission has no time to return!

And there was reliable intelligence before that the human side even sent out the last 100,000 warships used to protect the safety of the homeland, the last force of the galaxy defense system, and the homeland was completely empty.

Even if they hastily activated the second-line troops and old warships, how much combat power could they form? And how much threat could they pose to themselves?

Considering a worse situation, even if their fleet that went to perform the mission returned smoothly, according to reliable intelligence, at least half of the total of about 550,000 warships sent out by humans were lost during the difficult cleanup mission.

The remaining half was also damaged in many places, and it was impossible to have much combat power before a comprehensive rest.

How could they be the opponent of their own fleet that had been prepared and prepared for a long time, and whose equipment and morale were at their peak?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wipe out human civilization!

Now, this opportunity is at hand. As long as the Heidis civilization completes the cleanup mission, as long as the Milky Way cleanup mission is completed, it can be fully launched immediately!

Thinking of the benefits that their civilization can obtain after the complete destruction of mankind, and then thinking of the benefits that these benefits can bring to their civilization, higher status, greater power, greater prestige...

When they think of these, the four commanders' hearts are burning.

At this moment, they even feel impatient.

"It's time to summon the fifth-level civilization aerospace mothership. From now on, execute the boarding procedure."

"Agree."

"Agree."

The proposal of the commander of the Red Sun Fleet was unanimously approved by the joint meeting.

Not long after, the fifth-level civilization aerospace mothership responded to the call. As a result, the already busy Changchen Four Star System became even busier.

A large number of spacecraft began to mobilize and began to enter the berth of the aerospace mothership. One after another, heavy transport ships brought all kinds of war supplies, various parts and machinery, a large amount of ammunition, fuel, missiles, satellites, artillery, mines, etc., up to billions of tons of supplies were transported to the aerospace mothership.

In this way, when the final result is clear, it is convenient to rush to the solar system and the core galaxy of human civilization at the fastest speed without wasting a second.

…

"Report! Chang Chensi's exploration team reported that the four major civilizations' coalition fleet is gathering on a large scale, and the boarding procedure has been initiated. It is expected that all preparations will be completed in a month."

Facing the report from his subordinates, Liu Yuan looked calm.

"The enemy... is really impatient. Are they so anxious to destroy us? After the previous government was handed over as a scapegoat, the new government really turned to the Yunguang civilization..."

After knowing this news, Han Yang did not make any move, but was still waiting silently.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was only one month away from the deadline of the cleanup mission.

"Ready... detonate!"

The commander of the "Supernova Project" of the Heidis civilization gave the order solemnly.

The next moment, under the expectation and fanatic gaze of billions of engineers, a very shining and bright star suddenly appeared at the edge of the galaxy.

Even though it was hundreds of billions of kilometers away, the brightness of that star still overwhelmed the brightness of the stars in an instant.

That was the light released by the simultaneous explosion of more than 800 billion special hydrogen bombs.

In the dust cloud formed by dust life, a hydrogen bomb exploded at about 1 million kilometers apart.

A total of more than 800 billion hydrogen bombs exploded together, and the light gathered together to form a light comparable to that of a star, just like a supernova suddenly appeared in space.

This is the origin of the name of the Supernova Project.

Endless light, heat and radiation swept across all places where dust life existed.

The next moment, the light dissipated. A large number of exploration fleets and probes immediately set out to conduct a detailed exploration of this star field.

A few days later, the final results were presented to the engineering commanders.

"Dust life cleaning mission... completed!"
