Chapter 269 The passing "ordinary" spaceship

The unknown beam of light that is rapidly approaching is not known to the public, but has caused panic among the top leaders of some countries on this planet.

There are not many countries here with enough strength to support accurate space observations, and only these major powers can discover that "alien" seem to have appeared.

It’s just that it’s not the aliens who come in person, but the alien attacks.

No matter from all aspects, the beam of light does not look like a "good greeting" no matter how you look at it.

"How about it, what is the latest information?"

The director of the Astronomy Observatory had not even put on his clothes, so he hurried to the institute and asked about his current situation.

He actually learned about the general situation through communication on the way, but he was still afraid that he would miss any new news while rushing to the road.

The researcher also quickly replied:

"According to calculations, the source of this beam is about five light years away, and according to the news that came from before the destruction of "Suiter 1", it is actually not a "beam", but a kind of person

A luminous life body that advances at sublight speed..."

According to the report, the mysterious luminous bodies that resemble beams are approaching the stars at sub-light speed.

"...Is it possible that it is 'super-light space'?" The director thought, shook his head again, and said self-deprecatingly: "How come I remember this crazy man's nonsense? Let's look at reality first..."

"It's already a little bit of an eyebrow. That kind of luminescent body may have the properties that can absorb stellar matter and convert. Perhaps the 'eternal winter night' we initially guessed is coming..."

"The World Joint Headquarters is holding a meeting, and those head-level figures are still in secret talks, but the result probably will not change... Has the properties of the beam-shaped luminescent body been parsed out?"

However, this is the reality here. Those who hold power in their hands can always "take one step ahead".

However, he also knew that the current top priority was not this matter, but the "beam" that could bring about world-destroying disasters.

At this time, he was calculating something on the computer in the study, but the configuration of this computer was obviously not very high. Soon the program was too stuttering, and the scholar of Misty Star slapped the table and took out the paper and pen angrily calculated it himself.

In this way, a few more hours passed.

As the director of an astronomical observatory, in addition to his own scientific literacy, he also likes to read various scientific magazines in his spare time, including many science fiction novels.

However, while these senior officials were discussing in a low voice, a staff member here discovered a series of extremely abnormal numbers.

According to the data of "Suiter One", those beam-type luminescent bodies are flying at sub-light speeds close to the speed of light. At first, they were almost the same speed as the speed of light, but have dropped a lot to this day.

"Is there no way to stop it halfway? Our nuclear weapons, space stations, and everything can be used in this crisis."

The top leaders of this country are under increasing pressure to arrive at the astronomical observatory and are preparing to hold a meeting directly on the spot to discuss solutions while obtaining new information.

He himself was also staring at the data one by one, and at the same time he did not forget to listen to his subordinates’ reports. Although his face had no expression on his face to calm people’s hearts, his inner emotions were changing again and again.

So his aura condensed, and he quickly showed off his leader's demeanor, stabilized the panic of everyone in the institute, and continued his work in an orderly manner.

Afterwards, the director himself devoted himself to the intense work and quickly threw away his thoughts.

Even if they don’t know what impact this beam-type luminous substance will have on the stars, they must make the worst plans, such as... the stars are extinguished and the world enters an eternal winter night.

However, at this moment, the communication equipment he rarely used suddenly rang out. After he impatiently connected, he found that the other party was his student.

Because the observatory of another country on the other side of the planet found that according to the trajectory of the beam, it moved to an incredible distance a few months ago, and it could only be achieved by exceeding the speed of light.

This is something he had never heard of before. It seems that new things happened during the time he came from abroad.

However, in addition to this, they also discovered an impossible fact, that is, the string of "light beams" were moving forward at "super light speed".

What makes the director think now is "why it suddenly slowed down."

After hearing the answer, the director couldn't help but confirm again: "Is the 'Inquirer One' destroyed?"

This unfortunate news silenced the director for a moment, because it means that their efforts to "exploring the stars" so far have all turned into a bubble.

This completely overturned the law they knew that "the speed of light cannot be surpassed", but the facts were just before them.

There was still no change in the sky, but the scholar Huoxing was extremely restless because he always felt that besides "strike", there was something "other" coming.

Before he finished speaking, the communication was quickly cut off, which also caused the scholar of Misty Star to get up and rush out the door.

“…Unfortunately, ‘Inquirer One’ happened to be on the path of the ‘beam’. From time to time, it should have been destroyed by now…”

"...It's probably impossible. We can pray that some passing alien civilization will help us solve this problem? Let's forget it. While there is still time, underground shelters should come in handy."

Even though several hours have passed since the discovery, the "detonation countdown" calculated by astronomical observers still remains unchanged at 19 hours, which seems to form a dynamic balance.

But this is not what they want. There will be an upper limit for slowing down, and then it will be the real "countdown".

The tense atmosphere seemed to overflow from the astronomical observatory to the outside, and even the homes of the Misty Scholars were filled with a similar atmosphere.

"…what would it be? Perhaps this beam-type luminescent body can move forward by changing the curvature of space and time? Or is there a space wormhole leading to it on its way?"

"Teacher! The monitor is still there, long story short, the blow is about to come-"

He quickly thought of those "theoretical machines" that only exist in fantasy, and at the same time he also thought of an idea proposed by a former sensible figure, the Scholar of the Misty Star:

"—Even the speed of light seems too slow in the universe. Assuming there is a kind of 'super-light space' in the universe where it can easily surpass the speed of light, then our development may be very different."

"Just, just now, about 400,000 kilometers above our planet, a terrifying space-time curvature reading appeared, almost equivalent to a black hole appearing there-"

However, this "disaster response" is not something the director should take care of. After he informed his boss about all the known situations, he began to think about the mystery of the "light beam" that plagued him.

Among them, some people had the idea of ​​escaping from the beginning, and had even secretly arranged their relatives to take refuge, leaving behind a group of uninformed people from the outside world.

Along with these amazing words, the pupils of the star-wrenching scholar who was a long distance away from the astronomical observatory also shrank.

With his extremely outstanding eyesight, he saw a light spot that seemed to be fading from the "shady curtain" in the distant sky.

He took out his homemade telescope and looked over, then saw a "spaceship" that only existed in his fantasy appeared out of thin air.

It looks ordinary, but it seems to carry the weight of a civilization and "passed" over the sky here.
