Super Battleship Reborn

Chapter 690 Dyson Ball

At this moment, Xiao Yu is at the junction of the edge of the Milky Way and interstellar space, and the star that suddenly disappeared is near the edge of the Milky Way. It is a very ordinary red dwarf star with very low mass, low temperature and low luminosity. It doesn't have any satellite planets, not even much asteroids or interstellar dust orbiting it. It is orbiting a nearby binary star system alone, like a deserted gravel.

This type of star is the most numerous and the least noticeable star in the Milky Way, and it is of little value to low-level civilization or advanced civilization. For low-level civilizations that hope to rely on stellar radiation to obtain living resources, its habitable zone is too small, and it is too close to the star, and there are too many harmful radiations. For mid-level civilizations that hope to obtain resources through rocky planets or asteroids Say, it has a bare host star, no decent planets, and no value. For advanced civilizations that use stars as fuel, such as Xiao Yu, it is too small to be worth doing. In short, it belongs to the star that has the least sense of existence and the least attention in the Milky Way.

But now, under the circumstances that Xiao Yu is currently searching for traces of the guardian civilization, its disappearance is enough to attract Xiao Yu's attention. Although it is only a red dwarf star, it must be at least a sixth-level civilization to make such a star disappear. Moreover, there was something odd about its disappearance.

Xiao Yu saw that it first disappeared from the visible light band and various radiation bands, and then disappeared from the gravitational wave after a period of time. Based on this, Xiao Yu easily drew an inference: there is an unknown existence trying to conceal it, and this civilization has adopted some means to shield its radiation band first. After this work was completed, its gravitational force was also shielded through the gravitational shielding technology, making it lose its trace from the large-scale visible universe.

This phenomenon immediately aroused Xiao Yu's interest. Xiao Yu made a guess almost instantly: There is a high probability that this is what the Guardian civilization did. Perhaps, the Guardian civilization collects such unobtrusive stars and evaporates them from the world. Then quietly transport it away and act as a node on the star road. Keep up with it first, as long as you follow it, you will be able to find where the guardian civilization is hidden.

Xiao Yu made an instant decision. So, Xiao Yu immediately dispatched several specially-made concealed miniature spaceships to rush towards that place. Xiao Yu knew that the guardian civilization probably hadn't found his trace yet. Because if the guardian civilization already knows that it has laid a net in this place. How could they still capture stars in this area?

As long as you don't find me... From now on, all detectors will enter a concealed state, and except for tracking spacecraft, all other types of spacecraft will also enter a concealed state. Xiao Yu quickly issued an order. Xiao Yu's large army did not move, but only sent out a few of the most concealed small spaceships. It is easy to be found if a large force is dispatched. It is most appropriate to dispatch small concealed spaceships to obtain location information before dispatching large forces to encircle and suppress them.

Three ultra-miniature spaceships, which were about the size of a desk in the Earth era, adopted a special curvature navigation method and began to move towards the place where the star disappeared. It is impossible for a star to move too fast during the transfer, and the speed of this small spaceship is enough to catch up and follow it quietly.

Detectors near the star are quietly watching it. It provides direction guidance for the tracking spacecraft that is coming. During the time when the tracking small spaceship came. One of Xiao Yu's conjectures was confirmed, but the confirmation of this conjecture made Xiao Yu even more confused.

Although this concealed red dwarf star is shielded from the radiation band and the gravitational band, it is impossible for a star to completely disappear from the universe.

It always leaves some traces. Until now. It has traveled a distance of more than ten light years, but above this distance, the detectors that Xiao Yu arranged in advance can still detect it.

Then it is very strange, since this hidden star can still be observed by Xiao Yu at a distance of ten light years. Then in the previous large-scale carpet search, why couldn't Xiao Yu find the star road nodes arranged by the guardian civilization? Judging from the current situation, there is only one reason why Xiao Yu couldn't find it, and that is that the guardian civilization didn't arrange nodes here at all.

This was Xiao Yu's confirmed guess, but it was this incident that made Xiao Yu even more confused. Because if you want to travel to the Andromeda galaxy, you must set up nodes in this area. Set nodes outside this area? It's not impossible, but what is the reason for doing so? Although doing so can surprise some people, the price to be paid is too high. For example, a person on Earth wants to travel a thousand kilometers north, but he sets the first supply point one to the south. Same at 100 kilometers.

Gradually, another guess emerged in Xiao Yu's mind. But this guess is too outrageous and unreasonable, Xiao Yu is not sure yet.

A year later, Xiao Yu's tracking spacecraft finally caught up with the star. With the help of the very weak reflection of starlight nearby, Xiao Yu saw what the star looked like at this moment.

It has completely changed its appearance, and Xiao Yu knows that this change of appearance comes from external forces. There is a black film of unknown material that covers the entire star. It is this film that blocks most of the star's radiation, including light, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, neutrinos, gamma rays, etc. , At the same time, this film also has very good light-absorbing properties, and only a very small part of the external star light will be reflected back after it shines on it. This also means that it is very difficult to find in the light band. If Xiao Yu's tracking spacecraft was not equipped with very sensitive optical instruments, Xiao Yu would not be able to see it at all.

On the big black film ball, there are still some faint protrusions, and there are some instrument-like things built there. Because he was afraid of being discovered by them, Xiao Yu did not dare to get too close, but even with observations at such a distance, Xiao Yu probably guessed that those things should be gravitational shielding instruments and related equipment that support the operation of the membrane. There are also devices that can take an entire star into a curvature voyage.

Dyson ball? It's thanks to you guys who figured it out. Xiao Yu thought inexplicably.

The Dyson sphere is a vision of humans in the earth age. Humans imagined that by building a large sphere, the entire star would be enveloped in it, so as to achieve the effect of absorbing all the radiant energy of the star for their own use. But during Xiao Yu's development, the Dyson ball never appeared because it was unnecessary. Starting from elemental decay technology, energy is not a shackle to Xiao Yu. The abundant matter in the Milky Way can be used by Xiao Yu at will, so why bother building something like a Dyson sphere. But Xiao Yu didn't expect that the Dyson ball would have other functions in the hands of the guardian Civilization.

That is concealment, allowing a star to disappear for no reason.

Actions like Guardian Civilization reminded Xiao Yu of some things that happened in human society in the Earth Age. In some eras, in places with poor public security, at night, people were often caught in a cloth bag while walking, and then they were dragged away in the dark. Thinking about it now, what happened to this star at this moment is very similar to the person who was kidnapped at that time.

After sighing secretly in his heart, Xiao Yu manipulated his small spaceship and continued to follow behind. By this time, Xiao Yu was basically sure that at least 99% of the people who kidnapped Xingxing in a cloth bag were the guardian civilization.

So far, Xiao Yu has followed this star capture team for more than a hundred years, and the two sides have sailed a distance of more than 8,000 light-years. When the team sailed for more than five hundred light years, Xiao Yu's large army had quietly mobilized and followed them. For Xiao Yu, five hundred light years is just a voyage of more than three years.

Sure enough, the star road node is not built in this area... As the distance of the voyage gets farther and farther away, and the distance from the pre-defined range is getting farther and farther away, the guess in Xiao Yu's mind becomes more and more certain Get up, It seems that your voyage target does not seem to be the Andromeda galaxy...

It seems that at the very beginning, when he heard that the guardian civilization was going on a voyage across the river system, Xiao Yu subconsciously believed that the goal of the guardian civilization's voyage was the Andromeda galaxy. Because people go to high places, in the local group of galaxies, the Andromeda galaxy is the only galaxy larger than the Milky Way. If you travel far to the river system, you will undoubtedly have more room for development in the Andromeda galaxy. However, the guardian civilization did something unexpected. They didn't choose the Andromeda galaxy as their destination.

So far, Xiao Yu has basically affirmed this point, but Xiao Yu still does not know where the Guardian Civilization chose its destination. This can only be deduced after seeing the position of the guardian's star road node.

Time passed bit by bit. After the star was dragged and sailed for more than two hundred years, the star capture team of the guardian civilization finally stopped. Xiao Yu, who was hiding in the dark, saw that there were at least thousands of similar stars staying here... (to be continued...)
