Chapter 34: Kowloon clears the way, and fires on the evening (w-shaped chapter)(1/3)
At the other end of the star sea, known as Ross, there is a dull red dwarf floating in the dark starry sky, and a lonely planet is rotating around its orbit.
The planet named "Fire Eve" by the local civilization is at dawn at this moment. At its capital, the first dim eye in the morning is tilted from the horizon to the sky and the city, hanging a light red light on those ancient and solemn buildings full of historical sense.
The mass of Huoxi is 15 times that of the Earth. It has a satellite with a strange shape. Although its orbit is very close to the star Ross, because Ross is a red dwarf, the planet's surface radiation is quite good, enough to bring energy suitable for life and survival to the planet, and it will not be too strong, blowing the planet's atmosphere away.
In fact, there is indeed a very advanced civilization on the Star of Fire and has entered the starry sky, which is booming.
The name of Fire Xi comes from the special local celestial scenery. Looking up at the noon sun on this planet, you can see the red light like a flame, but it is not bright, but it is a little dim, just like the light of the sunset.
However, one thing is strange: no one knows why their ancestors thought that when the sun was brightest, it was the "sunset". The sunset on the Fire Sun Star was even dimmer, and the light source was almost gone.
Do they have any other evaluation table criteria? If so, where did they come from?
At least, no one knows the answer to this matter in the current Huoxi civilization.
The history of the Huoxi civilization has exceeded four thousand years and has now entered the interstellar era. However, their historical loss is serious. Because hundreds of years ago, they broke out a large-scale war of destruction on a global scale, and dozens of countries launched attacks on all their enemies with the goal of destroying each other's country and extermination.
There were no victors in that war and the ideology of the entire planet was established. The survivors who participated hated war. In order to ensure peace, they even formed alliances, they developed a "peaceful bureaucracy."
A huge bureaucratic system handles all internal affairs throughout the planet, and is dominated by several or one peace leader.
Their legitimacy comes from defending the legitimate rights and interests of all citizens and curbing all wars and violent conflicts.
This is a fairly stable ruling system. Since the Huoxi civilization was unified globally, there have been no riots or wars. Because there are no other planets in the Ross star field, the Huoxi civilization can only develop technology with peace of mind, and there is nothing else that can be done except further strengthening related aerospace technologies.
It has to be said that fortunately, the Huoxi civilization, decades ago, accidentally found some spacecraft relics related to the transition engine from the ancient ruins of thousands of years. After a long period of deciphering, they also successfully made the technology in this ruins practical.
In recent decades, the Huoxi civilization has not had civil strife or disputes, and its technical level has continued to improve steadily. Compared with ordinary interstellar civilizations, their internal cohesion and technological level are even higher.
If it goes well, they have recently begun to use their spacecraft and jump technology to explore the surrounding starry sky and the livable world.
However, an accident happened.
Just when the Huoxi Civilization SF Express was smooth sailing, an unexpected news shocked all the senior management of the civilization.
Their female star...is about to explode.
To be more popular, their sun is about to explode.
The first omen appeared fifteen years ago - coincidentally, fifteen years ago, just the day when the transition engine experiment was successful - the observation station built by the Huoxi civilization around the sun was destroyed by a sudden outbreak of stellar flares after issuing a rapid emergency forecast. According to the description of witnesses at that time, even on the back of Huoxi, the bright light generated by the stars can be seen.
The flare outbreak was short, but the damage caused was amazing. All satellites, lunar observatorys and stellar observatorys outside the atmosphere of the Huoxi civilization were destroyed.
On the planet, more than 40 million people died on the spot due to the celestial changes caused by the outbreak of stellar flares. Five times the number was irradiated with excessive cosmic radiation, and various radiation diseases appeared, and then died in succession within the following years.
The Huo Xi people on half of the planet experienced that terrifying star change and experienced the tragedy of relatives and friends dying due to radiation pain... The only thing that is to be thankful is that after the star eruption, many "psionics" appeared one after another in the entire Huo Xi civilization.
They can control various special superpowers and master various special superpowers - some people can even transform into various powerful beasts and spirit beasts, becoming special psychic creatures that have never been seen before.
However, such news did not make Huoxi civilization feel much excited, because since then, the number of flares of stars has exploded more and more, and it has even gradually made Huoxi civilization get used to it. They began to wear radiation-proof clothing for the whole people to build cities that penetrate deep into the ground, and minimize the impact of related astral activities as much as possible.
In order to find out the reason for the sudden outbreak of the solar flare fifteen years ago, and to understand where their civilization is, they devoted all their efforts to build an interstellar base, and to build various spacecraft and exploration ships to explore the reasons for all this.
And just today.
The leader of this civilization, the leader of this generation of Fire Xi Alliance, learned a fact that silently made him.
The source of everything... comes from a 'big dome' located inside a star.
Fifteen years ago, the giant dome initially recovered. The creatures in it sensed the upcoming spiritual recovery due to the summary of the Silent Age, and began to prepare in advance, entering the signs of awakening.
Its actions broke the balance of Ross star, resulting in a flare burst that swept half of the star field, causing the Huoxi civilization to suffer heavy damage.
Fifteen years later, the activities of the giant dome became more and more frequent.
Even a while ago, the psychic fortune tellers in the stargazing site even issued a warning - they claimed that the giant orb was about to hatch, the giant beasts that devoured the stars would wake up, destroy everything, and put everything into nothingness.
It is different from what everyone thought that these fortune tellers were unreliable in the past, so they knew that they were talking nonsense.
This time, everyone felt that they were right.
The Huoxi civilization is indeed about to end.
"It's actually like this... There are such a terrifying descendants of giant beasts in our stars, and there are such eggs of giant beasts in the starry sky..."
Firesweeping Alliance, the underground capital, in the leader's office.
Xiangde, the nominal supreme ruler of the Fire Xi Alliance, couldn't help but sigh after listening to his secretary's explanation, and was somewhat frustrated: "It's so outrageous that our technology can't even imagine how it can be done."
"Not only that, the leader, the most terrifying thing is that the giant beast in this egg is about to hatch."
Although he was also depressed and confused, Xiang De's secretary was quite a bit of a slight slap in his heart. He said bluntly: "According to the current trend, as long as a few years or as short as a half year, the balance of our star body will be completely destroyed by this egg and disintegrate into a nebula."
"At that time, the entire Huoxi Star will be swallowed by the overflowing stellar matter and burned into cosmic dust."
Xiang De did not reply to this.
He sat in his seat, closed his eyes and thought silently.
"I thought it was a natural disaster, but I didn't expect it to be a 'man-made disaster'... Ha, although it is not a natural disaster, it is better than a natural disaster."
"There is such a powerful life in the universe? But I don't know why, but I'm not surprised."
Although things like the starry sky beast egg were somewhat beyond Xiang De's expectations, Huo Xixing was no longer suitable for living. Everyone understands it very well that this does not actually affect the decision-making of civilization.
The original method of dealing with the Huoxi Alliance was actually "running".
By building several giant ecological arks with leap capabilities, select all excellent individuals and talents who can ensure the survival of civilization, break away from the Fire Xixing, go to the other end of the distant starry sky, and leave the fire of the Fire Xi civilization.
Yes, the ark can only take away all the elites among the Huoxi people. The eight giant civilization arks can carry less than ten million people at most, which is nearly one-seven percent of the total population of the Huoxi civilization.
We must choose some people to survive and some people sacrifice. It is precisely because of this that Xiang De felt very stressed in recent times. If it weren’t for the responsibility that forced him to hold on, he would have collapsed long ago.
Of course, the Huoxi civilized people who knew this news and were not selected will naturally not be willing to be the group of people who were given up and sacrificed. Therefore, in recent times, riots and riots have occurred in the entire Huoxi civilization, and even the government has begun to be shaky, making it difficult to continue to maintain the plan to escape the Ark.
"What should we do?"
Thinking about the future, there was only a mess in my heart. Xiang De couldn't help but open his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the stars in the office screen, which were quietly emitting red light, and then smiled bitterly: "Where is the way to the future?"
No one answered this question.
On the contrary, one emergency notice after another came, announcing many bad news.
[——Star Observatory Report: Star abnormality appears again, and the next large-scale flare impact is coming!]
[——Stargazing Report: The planetary dome inside the star has undergone abnormal changes, its activation speed has accelerated rapidly, and cracks have appeared on the eggshell. It was originally expected that the pregnancy time of at least half a year will be greatly reduced. It is expected that it will be initially hatched within fifteen days!]
[——Huoxi Central Star Domain Observation Institute reported: According to the detection of the star domain subspace sensor, in the universe not far from our star domain, an extraordinary jumping fluctuation was heard. With our existing technology, we cannot detect its source at all. We know what is being transitioned, but their goals are clear and it is for us!]
"What?!"
The previous two messages were indeed worse. For a moment, Xiang De even stood up in shock and then couldn't speak for a long time.
Although the stellar flare outbreak is terrifying, it is just a common occurrence for the Huoxi civilization that has long been accustomed to - but the sudden acceleration of the Starry Sky Dome has greatly disrupted the planning of the entire Huoxi civilization.
Now, the personnel who have settled in the eight civilized arks have not been completely selected, and there are still many details that have not been repeatedly verified. It is almost impossible to gather enough personnel to set off within more than ten days. Even if you set out, it cannot guarantee whether it is safe. Can the ark ensure sailing to the destination?
Desperate news.
For a moment, the entire office was silent. Even though Xiang De soon received emergency communications from senior executives within the alliance after another, asking him what to do next, he didn't know how to answer.
"I'll wait..." With a wry smile, Xiang De turned his gaze to the third report: "The leap and fluctuation coming for us? Could it be the other cosmic civilizations in the theory? What are they doing here? Could it be that they can't see that we are dead here?"
But soon, the league leader seemed to think of something and couldn't help but breathe: "No, can you say..."
"Did it be that the parents of this starry sky dome sensed that their children were about to hatch, so they rushed to investigate the hatching situation?!"
"If this is true... it would probably be too late to let the ark set out now!"
This possibility makes the prospects of Huoxi civilization even more bleak, and it can even be said to be hopeless.
The following related reports prove Xiang De’s guess.
[——Observatory reports: The target transition speed is extremely fast, the central subspace sensor is insufficient, and the specific quality of the target cannot be judged!]
[——Observatory reports: As the transition target approaches, we observe that the reaction of the starry sky dome becomes more and more active, and the relationship between the two is proportional!]
[——Observatory report: An extremely obvious subspace distortion was observed! Warning, the transition target will arrive inside the star domain within five hours. We are very likely to be finished. See you next life.]
In the end, the reports in the Central Star Domain Observatory were unable to maintain the official format. Even researchers, or rather, because they were researchers, they were more desperate than ordinary people who knew the facts.
Soon, because of this despair, these supposedly top secret reports were revealed, and on the Internet, news, and even radio stations, and TV stations, they were broadcast to everyone by the hosts who had almost lost order and were just pretending to be calm.
Some hosts even broke down halfway through the talk and said goodbye to all the audiences in tears, but no one cares about this anymore, because almost in this last few hours of the entire Huoxi civilization, all Huoxi people fell into an incredible calm and confused.
"Hey, Xiao Deng, it's been the last few hours. You go back and see your parents."
In the office, Xiang De also gave up his struggle - when things came to an end, he calmed down and shook his head and said to his secretary: "Let me be alone at the end."
“…This period of time I worked for you was a very important experience in my life.”
After hesitating for a while, the secretary, who was called Xiao Deng, bowed deeply to Xiang De, then opened the offices and prepared to go home to accompany his parents.
At this moment, the last, almost routine reports in the Central Observatory were also issued one after another, and the goal they issued was no longer just the Federal Leader's Office, but publicly broadcasted by all channels of the entire civilization.
Therefore, the entire Huoxi Star, all cities, and places with network signals can be heard, and the extremely clear and grand fluctuations and subspace echoes that are restored from the subspace psychic signals.
It was a shaking starry sky, a long and majestic roar like a dragon's sound, and an obvious and extremely buzzing space.
"Sure enough... are they the parents of the Star Dome?"
Closed his eyes and listened to the dragon song that made his soul tremble slightly, Xiang De smiled relievedly, "Forget it, the Huoxi civilization finally ended with the star destruction caused by the starry beast, which is also a romantic ending."
And just when Huo Xi Civilization gave up thinking about all hope and waited for his ending to come.
To be continued...
