In fact, after reading this broadcast, everyone on the bridge of the Hope ship was more willing to believe that the broadcast was just a broadcast and not a hoax targeting humanity.

That makes sense. If it were a targeted attack, the Silver Heart Alliance, given its level, could have easily come directly.

So this broadcast really is just a broadcast.

But this only made everyone feel more terrified.

Because that would mean that the entities mentioned in the broadcast might converge on the Orion Arm in the near future, thus turning the Orion Arm into a place of trouble and danger.

Especially that 'Harvester Civilization', just from the name you know they're a formidable force.

All the other names end with words like 'association,' 'community,' or 'alliance,' but this one is 'civilization.'

Everyone believed that the automatic translation of the broadcast was not unfounded.

This strongly suggests that the Harvester Civilization was a separate civilization.

The name "Harvesters" immediately conjures up images of a villain.

Furthermore, the Silver Heart Alliance doesn't seem to be much better, as its full name is the Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance. While the word "galaxy" sounds Milky Way Galaxy, the term "axis" isn't exactly a positive one—an axis alliance! Of course, perhaps the Silver Heart Alliance thinks this word is good in human language.

As for Silicon-Based Collective, humans don't even need to think about it to know that those things are not on the same path as their own.

"I never expected the Silver Mist Incident to turn out like this. It seems the entire Orion Arm will be in turmoil from now on. Perhaps some ignorant civilizations that haven't experienced setbacks will follow the instructions in this broadcast, but we won't." Looking at the group of people lost in thought, Yue Yuan sighed. The information was too much, the impact too great, and everyone was having difficulty processing it all at once.

Yue Yuan also felt the same way.

The good mood and sense of pride he had gained from seeing the New Spacesuit had been completely washed away by this broadcast.

After analysis by a group of scientists and many other people, Yue Yuan is now pondering some questions.

For example, why would the so-called Perseus Commonwealth, a defector civilization, end up on the Orion Arm?

What does the word 'defection' mean? Is it determined by the nature of the Perseus Commonwealth? Or is it a subjective interpretation by the Silver Heart Alliance? As Yue Yuan pondered this, a terrifying possibility suddenly popped into his mind.

"Could that so-called defector civilization be related to the Centaurus Trinary Star System and the Solar System explosion?"

"No, no, no, how could it be such a coincidence!" Yue Yuan quickly denied the sudden thought.

Advanced civilizations, the Orion Arm, and the Perseus Commonwealth have long been considered the only terms that could be associated with cosmic events, so it's no wonder Yue Yuan thought this way.

When the sun exploded before, Yue Yuan immediately shouted the slogan of revenge to rally people's hearts, but he also understood that a civilization that could destroy a star was far beyond what humans could match.

After coming into contact with the Silver Mist Consciousness, Yue Yuan's understanding became even stronger.

Because Yue Yuan had long noticed that throughout the entire process of human contact with the Silver Mist Consciousness, scientists had never inferred from any dialogue or the information hidden behind those dialogues the outcome of the war between the Silver Mist Consciousness and the Moke Star Civilization that destroyed the star.

During the time when the Silver Mist Consciousness was describing the war with humans as a 'Moke Star People Mining Area Patrol', there was no mention of how many stars were destroyed.

Of course, perhaps the Silver Mist Consciousness deliberately didn't mention it, but Yue Yuan was more inclined to believe that as Level 3 Civilization, it simply couldn't destroy a star.

In fact, after learning about the technological characteristics of Level 3 Civilization, human scientists have conducted numerous simulations and deductions based on this information. The results all show that Level 3 Civilization is not capable of destroying a star.

From that moment on, scientists knew that for the time being and for a long time to come, humanity could only secretly investigate clues and record them in a notebook regarding that unknown enemy.

At this moment, Zhao Youqin was the first to snap out of his silence. He looked at Yue Yuan and pointed to the Signal Receiver display screen. "Chief, it seems that the Orion Arm where we are is about to become an extremely dangerous zone. So, should we just delete this broadcast message?"

"What? You wouldn't happen to want to import it into the Central Computer and then accept the suggestion of the Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance to go to some kind of refuge, would you?" Yue Yuan said, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

"Uh, of course not!" Zhao Youqin was taken aback. He hadn't expected Yue Yuan to react so strongly, not even letting him finish his sentence. Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Chief, you understand me. What I meant was to keep it for research."

"What kind of research are you doing? Do you think humans aren't dying young enough?" Yue Yuan thought to himself. He understood the danger of seeking wealth and status, but one had to be alive to enjoy it! Besides, he didn't think humans could glean anything from such advanced broadcast information; on the contrary, it was very dangerous. After all, it was information with its own intelligence, and no one knew what might happen.

It's best for humans to avoid touching it.

One must know that greed is insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

"Um, maybe we should just delete it." Seeing Yue Yuan's strange expression, Zhao Youqin also realized that his words were somewhat ill-considered.

"No need to delete."

Yue Yuan shook his head. Just as Zhao Youqin thought he was about to say whether he would stay to do research, he heard Yue Yuan say fiercely, "To be on the safe side, take the Signal Receiver storage disk out and throw it into space to destroy it."

Hmm, throwing it into space isn't enough, it has to be destroyed too.

In fact, Yue Yuan knew that he didn't need to be so cautious, but right now his mind was still full of the 'Silver Mist' signal deception, and he was in a state of being overly frightened.

"That's settled about the broadcast. Our immediate priority is to explore Wolf 1061 c. We need to speed things up. If the broadcast is true, the Orion Arm will be extremely dangerous in the future. We need to buy time to develop it and leave this troubled region as soon as possible."

Yue Yuan's words were full of bitterness. The Orion Arm was supposed to be humanity's home, but now he was calling it a dangerous star region.

"Commander Yue, is there any possibility that..."

Suddenly, Man Yuemei, who had been silent and not participating in the discussion, leaned close to Yue Yuan's ear and whispered a reminder: "Low-level Civilization must rely on stars for navigation. So, is it possible that this broadcast was sent by the Silver Heart Alliance to wipe out the Low-level Civilization in the Orion Arm?"

The goal is to ensure that the Aerospace Civilization within the Orion Arm, like us, find a way to escape. They, on the other hand, will wait at the intersection of the Sagittarius Arm and the Orion Arm. After all, given the spacefaring capabilities of Aerospace Civilization, the only way to leave the Orion Arm is through that particular route.

Thank you all for your recommendations and monthly tickets, I'll be adding an extra chapter!
