Chapter 364: A Disaster Triggered by an Experiment


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    A few minutester, Red Lotus finished calcting the entire data packet’s content.


    The results were as described by the other party and even more terrifying than described verbally.


    ording to Red Lotus’s calction, the Milky Way’s central ck hole exploded—not exactly an explosion, but more of an eruption—due to internal spacetime structure tampering.


    All the matter absorbed by the ck hole over billions of years erupted in an instant, sweeping across the entire Milky Way.


    It might not sound significant, simr to a volcanic eruption, but in reality, the tampering of the ck hole’s spacetime framework and the internal pressure of matter umted over billions of years have triggered a chain reaction. This massive energy directly ignited the microscopic world.


    Even the microscopic particles in the cosmic void were transformed into massive energy by this force, continuing to ravage the outside world.


    Simply put, the ck hole exploded, and its massive energy caused all particles to explode, leading to a chain explosion.


    The central region of the Milky Way haspletely copsed.


    Neutron stars, white dwarfs, stars, and Earth-likes were all ignited by this massive energy, turning into energy that impacts the outer world.


    After reading Red Lotus’s calction results, Tang Rui’s face changed instantly.


    Damn it.


    The Milky Way exploded, what now?


    “Master, the other party sent a message asking if we could provide them with some materials.”


    At this time, the other party sent another message.


    “Materials can be provided, but they must fully exin the situation again, as it is basically impossible for them to have detected this level of disaster with their technological level and escaped in advance.


    We need to ask how they knew the specifics and inquire about the civilization status in the core region of the Milky Way and some cosmic information,” Tang Rui said after listening


    Materials are negotiable.


    Actually, with their technological level, they’re not reallycking materials. As long as they enter a star system for resupply, they would have enough.


    But the problem is, they can’t stop now.


    Their spaceship is still elerating.


    Once they stop, their entire escape route would be wasted, and it would take decades to elerate again.


    So, after receiving Tang Rui’s message, they immediately sent all the information they knew.


    Red Lotus decrypted and tranted the information.


    The Atas civilization was quite fortunate. Their home was in a star system more than 200 light-years away from Earth.


    Originally, with their technological level, by the time they detected this disaster, it would have been toote to escape.


    But a high-level civilization from the core region of the Milky Way sent a supply fleet to their star system.


    Although that high-level civilization drained their star, they also provided some outdated technical data and news of the disaster in the core region of the Milky Way.


    This is why they were able to escape in advance.


    ording to this information, the explosion of the Milky Way’s central ck hole was mainly due to an experiment.


    A high-level civilization wanted to conduct an experiment using the ck hole.


    But something went wrong, and the ck hole exploded.


    Simply put, it was a disaster triggered by an experiment.


    Currently, the massive energy flow erupting from the Gctic Center is about 1100 light-years away from Earth.


    It sounded distant.


    However, energy flows, no matter how terrifying, must follow basic physical rules, which means their speed cannot exceed the speed of light.


    But the problem was, the distance of 1100 light-years was the distance of the energy flow, not the distance of the initial high-energy rays.


    High-energy rays surround the energy flow, covering a range of about 600-800 light-years. The closer to the energy flow, the denser the high-energy rays.


    In other words, the first high-energy rays were less than 300 light-years away from Earth.


    Regarding the power of high-energy rays, one could refer to the Death Star in film works.


    If Earth was unlucky and hit by a high-energy ray, it would instantly vanish.


    After reading the information, Tang Rui smirked and said to Red Lotus, “Tell them, the supply materials will reach their course in 50 years, and let them salvage the materials themselves.”


    “Okay, Master.”


    After sending the message, Tang Rui stopped worrying about these unlucky ones and started studying the star map.


    This star map was also sent by them.


    Although Tang Rui could figure it out given time, it was nice not to have to spend time on it.


    By relying on this star map, he would also supply materials to them.


    As for why it’d be fifty yearster.


    Because he didn’t have time to deal with them now. When he returns to Earth, he’d build a matter projector andunch some materials towards their course. In fifty years, they’d receive them.


    After looking at the star map for a while,


    Tang Rui chose a coordinate.


    The location of this coordinate is a star system 527 light-years away from the Sr System.


    He chose this ce mainly to go and observe the situation of the high-energy rays.


    To avoid being too unlucky, he specifically chose a star as a shield to avoid being hit by a high-energy ray right after jumping there.


    “Red Lotus, jump here.”


    “Okay, Master.”


    The reconnaissance spaceship’s hyperspace jump engine activated, disappearing into the cosmic void.


    The next second, the reconnaissance spaceship appeared at the designated coordinates.


    “What’s the situation?”


    After the jump, the reconnaissance flight’s optical equipment collected information about the surroundings.


    However, the giant star that was supposed to appear in front of the reconnaissance spaceship did not exist.


    Was there a problem with the space jump?


    “Red Lotus, calcte the current cosmic coordinates to see if the space jump was disturbed.”


    “Okay, Master.”


    But soon, Red Lotus confirmed that there was no issue with the space jump, and the cosmic coordinates were correct.


    So, what happened?


    Where did the giant star go?


    “Forget it, turn on the scanning equipment, investigate the data towards the direction of the Gctic Center, and be careful to avoid high-energy rays.” “Okay, Master.”


    The reconnaissance spaceship’s various devices were activated, starting to collect data carried by particles in the cosmic void.


    Tang Rui quickly found the reason for the disappearance of the star from the data on therge screen.


    It wasn’t drained by a high-level civilization.


    Instead, it was hit by high-energy rays, directly igniting the star’s core and causing a supernova explosion.


    Ideally, for the remnants of the supernova explosion, there should be remnants like white dwarfs, but because the star did not evolve naturally and the core’s material was not sufficiently umted, no white dwarfs or simr bodies were left.


    Even if some remnants remained, they were obliterated by dense high-energy rays over the past hundred years.


    Well, a star vanished just like that, even the ashes were scattered.


    And the energy from this supernova explosion will reach the Sr System in more than three hundred years.


    But these were minor issues.


    The central ck hole of the Milky Way exploded, so another supernova explosion is nothing inparison..
