Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 27: The Twin Stars of Sirius

After the situation was gradually brought under control and stabilized, Zhang Xiaoyu delivered a televised address to all Earthlings and Celestial Beings:

Respected Celestials, firstly, on behalf of humanity on Earth, I express my highest respect to all the Celestials who sacrificed their lives, especially His Majesty Yaso's indomitable spirit. Secondly, I must clarify that we are an Earth civilization within the Solar System, not a Martian civilization, although humanity's ancestors were indeed Martians. Whether Martian or Earthling, I know you still harbor deep hatred, and that's understandable. However, you also know that the law of the jungle is the fundamental law of this universe, and brutal struggles between civilizations are commonplace. The Solar System, including Earth, humanity's home, was indirectly destroyed by a very powerful civilization. Humanity on Earth was forced to search for new habitable planets. Celestial Planet E, this light blue planet, is very similar to Earth; even the appearance of Earthlings resembles that of the Celestials. It must be said, fate is cruel, and we must believe it's divine arrangement. Humanity on Earth has no intention of further conflict with you, nor any intention of mistreatment; they simply request that you give humanity a place to settle. I solemnly guarantee that all of you, as long as you do not provoke us, will receive the same treatment as other humans on Earth. I hope that our two civilizations can integrate and progress together. This society will be one of equality for all, one of distribution according to work and need, and one where everyone helps each other. In the future, technology will improve your lives; the future requires the joint efforts of everyone; the future belongs to us all. Let us create a better future and welcome this great era together.

Although the people of Tiancan appeared indifferent on the surface, it had more or less stirred something within them.

As if to show their sincerity, humanity on Earth has moved 18 space cities to the orbit of Planet E, forming a satellite with the Moon. These space cities, except for secret bases, are almost entirely open to the people of Equinox, who are welcome to visit and exchange ideas.

Humans on Earth have been sending medical personnel and life scientists to treat the diseases of the Ginseng People, overcoming many major challenges and curing many of them. All of this has been provided to the Ginseng People free of charge.

Previously, the Celestials only focused on military production and had almost no corresponding development in people's daily lives. Earth's humans then sent scientists to modify the Celestials' various technologies, especially in production and daily life, where they invented and transplanted many new manufacturing tools, greatly improving efficiency.

Of course, in terms of culture and art, Earth's humans have also spared no effort in promoting and encroaching upon them, bringing a lot of fun to the previously dull lives of the Celestials.

In short, Earth's humans have assimilated and infiltrated the Celestials in various ways, demonstrating unparalleled wisdom and immense capabilities in all aspects, including technology, education, culture, art, environment, economy, politics, and society, which put the Celestials to shame.

A year later, the Tiancan people began to slowly forget.

Two years later, the Celestials began to take pride in learning from and imitating Earthlings.

Three years later, the Celestials gradually integrated into the human population on Earth, and the male-female relationship between Earth and the Celestials was broken.

Four years later, most of the humans from the 18 space cities relocated to Planet Tianshen 5e, spreading across three continents and two large islands, and integrated with the local Tianshen people.

In the sixth year of the Galactic Era, the planet Earth was named "New Earth." The Earth Federation Fleet retained its original name, and the Earth Federation Government was established. The Federation Fleet, the Federation Government, and the Federation Academy of Sciences each had their own responsibilities, but in reality, the Federation Fleet held absolute control. According to the Federation Government's statistics, there were approximately 96 billion people in the world. However, the surface area of ​​"New Earth" was four times that of the original Earth, so "New Earth" did not appear crowded.

In the 7th year of the Galactic Era, the Federal Academy of Sciences finally succeeded in analyzing and imitating the Divine Envoy Warship, and developed an advanced warship. Although it was only 30 kilometers long, its power system and shield system were basically at the level of the Divine Envoy Warship. Its maximum speed could reach 98% of the speed of light in this space domain. However, it would still take some time to mass-produce this warship, since energy crystals were very difficult to manufacture.

In the 9th year of the Galactic Era, the teleportation technology was deciphered, and its structural materials, dialing system, and navigation protocol were all obtained by the Academy of Sciences.

In the 24th year of the Galactic Era, the new Earth humans (hereafter referred to as Earth humans) built 60 small divine messenger warships and 32 teleportation portals.

Thanks to the advancements in the technology derived from the divine messenger warships and teleportation portals, humanity has created a formidable weapon called the Star Sniper Ship. The Star Sniper Ship can destroy a planet, and even a star, operating on a principle similar to how humanity destroyed the sun. At its front is a teleportation ring, approximately six kilometers in diameter, and at its rear is an improved miniature particle collider. After colliding, particles are further accelerated by the teleportation ring, reaching faster-than-light speeds, allowing for faster-than-light particle attacks on planets or stars. Because the teleportation ring requires a massive energy supply, the Star Sniper Ship typically needs a long recharge period before it can launch another attack. However, if it relies on a star for energy, continuously replenishing its power, the Star Sniper Ship can conduct consecutive attacks.

In the 25th year of the Galactic Era, humanity placed a large portal near the star Trisolaran. Of course, all portals created by humanity have their own dialing system rules and secret protocols, which are fundamentally different from the portals used by the divine messengers.

In the 26th year of the Galactic Era, humanity dispatched 30 small divine messenger warships, 30 flying saucers, and 40 star-sniping ships, carrying 12 large teleportation portals, to Sirius at near the speed of light in this space. This fleet was designated "Sirius 2".

银河纪元32年，“天狼2号”和文明院长先前派出护送科学家的1000艘巡航母舰编队“天狼1号”相遇，经过近五个多月的技术提升和舰队改造，“天狼1号”也获得了本空间光速98%航行能力。

Thirty years later, the massive Earth-based interstellar fleet, consisting of Sirius 1 and Sirius 2, arrived near Sirius.

Galactic Era 62, Star Marker (1, 1, 2, 4c0).

Sirius is a binary star system, meaning two stars attract each other gravitationally and orbit each other. The primary star, Sirius A, emits a bright, bluish-white light, approximately 28 times brighter than the Sun, with a mass 2.6 times that of the Sun and a volume about 7 times that of the Sun. The companion star, Sirius B, emits a dim white light, has a mass similar to the Sun, but a smaller volume than Earth, meaning it is a very dense white dwarf.

Scientists from the "Earth Interstellar Fleet" have calculated that the orbits of the Sirius binary system are not circular, but extremely elongated, with the distance between the two stars varying from 18 billion kilometers to 53 billion kilometers.

On the fleet flagship, a large divine envoy warship, all the fleet's scientists and senior commanders held their first meeting since arriving on Sirius. The meeting was chaired by Roland, the fleet's chief scientist.

"According to the records of our fellow citizens, approximately 27 years ago, a super-powerful gamma-ray burst was emitted from the direction of Sirius. At that time, the Martian civilization in our solar system was destroyed by the gamma-ray burst, and then the solar system was trapped by the light-speed barrier of the 'Light-Descending Civilization.' Now, we estimate that the companion star, Sirius B, was essentially a supermassive star 27 years ago, much more massive than the current primary star, Sirius A. At that time, the names of the primary and companion stars in this binary system should have been reversed. After that supermassive star was turned into a super-powerful gamma-ray burst by the 'Light-Descending Civilization,' it formed the white dwarf we see today. All of this must have been the work of the 'Light-Descending Civilization.' Now, our fleet's main task is to find clues about the 'Light-Descending Civilization.' In addition, we must solve a major mystery in our Earth science community: the destruction of the Martian civilization by the gamma-ray burst was a targeted destruction. In other words, the 'Light-Descending Civilization' could arbitrarily control the energy of stellar explosions, focusing it and directly targeting a specific object. This exploding star acted as a kind of super laser gun!"

"Although we now have star-sniping ships and can destroy stars, we cannot control the energy scattered after a star explodes," Academician Senma of the Chinese Academy of Sciences further explained.

“I thought our current teleportation portal might work, but it doesn’t seem to make sense,” Academician Poirot, the Celestial Being, offered his idea.

"How do you say this?"

"Everyone, let me put it this way. If I set up a portal A near Sirius and another portal B near the sun, portal A would continuously absorb the energy from Sirius's explosion, and this super energy would be transmitted to portal A through portal B. This way, we could concentrate the energy for a targeted attack. But, at that time, there didn't seem to be any portals near the sun, right?"

Roland and everyone else were overjoyed, because humans had always thought that portals were used to transport fleets, but no one seemed to have thought of transporting energy. If Academician Poirot's idea could be realized, it seemed that humanity on Earth would have another super weapon.

"Academician Bo, your idea is brilliant. We have another super weapon concept."

"There's one more point I'd like to add. According to the first of the four laws of light by Academician Poirot, this kind of energy-directed attack using a portal exceeds the speed of light in this spatial region because its density wave is extremely high." Academician Poirot then thought of the instantaneous attack aspect.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the "light-dropping civilization's" instantaneous annihilation of the Martian civilization was indeed a faster-than-light attack. Therefore, the mystery now boils down to one point: how did the "light-dropping civilization" manage to concentrate the energy from the exploding star into a single point?

"My personal suggestion is to wake up Dean Zhou Yuan or Dean Wenming and teleport them here. Perhaps they have a solution?" one academician suggested.

“Alright, it seems we can only ask them to solve this. Commander Bujong, please send an encrypted long-range communication to invite Dean Zhou or Dean Wen to come over. Then, place a portal near Sirius A, the main star, and dial back to Earth to teleport Dean Zhou or Dean Wen.”

"OK."
