Powerless

The fact that such a strong Gravitational Wave could be generated at such a distance suggests that the so-called advanced civilization must be ridiculously powerful. The most likely explanation is that one of the civilizations mentioned in the Silver Heart Alliance Broadcast met, but it is unknown which one it was.

Thinking this, Yue Yuan looked at Gan De: "How far away is the Gravitational Wave from us?"

"About two hundred light-years away." Gan De handed the data record back to the staff, then gave a few more instructions, telling all the detectors of all types to 'look' towards the Gravitational Wave source.

In fact, at a distance of two hundred light-years, theoretically, no other detection method available to humanity can detect anything other than Gravitational Wave. It's just too far away; even if hundreds of millions of warships were gathered there, humanity wouldn't be able to observe it.

Unless a stellar explosion or something of astronomical scale occurs there, it seems that Gan De meant to observe these things.

Yue Yuan had no objection to this. Just as he had thought before, there was nothing humanity could do now except continue sailing. The most likely thing they could do was what astronomers like Gan De were doing now—attempt to observe.

If we can see even the slightest clue, it can enhance humanity's understanding of cosmic forces, nothing more.

However, Yue Yuan was not worried about that; he was worried about whether humanity would be affected.

Two hundred light-years is a very distant distance for humans, but for advanced civilizations, it's probably no different than walking a few steps.

In this situation, if the human fleet were discovered, it would be truly disastrous.

"Do as Professor Gan says. Also, notify all ships to point their shipborne telescopes in that direction. We need to know what's happening there." Yue Yuan thought for a moment, then opened the fleet communication channel to convey his message.

After a while, he probably figured it out. Moreover, due to the distance, according to the timeline, when the Gravitational Wave were received by humans, the events that occurred at the Gravitational Wave had already taken place two hundred years ago.

Two hundred years have passed; perhaps the war over there has already ended.

Since humanity is still safe, it's very likely that we are already secure, and perhaps those advanced civilizations have already left.

Of course, this is just speculation. Perhaps they are still there, and still at war, but they don't have time to pay attention to other star systems, which is why they haven't discovered the human fleet.

The worst-case scenario is that they have already discovered the human fleet, but perhaps the human ships are like dust in the eyes of those advanced civilizations, not as important as what they are currently doing.

In any case, all humanity can do is pray.

This feeling is awful.

At this moment, the joy brought by becoming Level 2 Civilization and various Biological Modification Technology was quickly overshadowed.

Shortly after the command was issued, the relevant scientists arrived at the scene. Yue Yuan didn't mince words and asked directly, "What do you think caused such a strong change in Gravitational Wave?"

"We can now be certain that the Gravitational Wave is not produced by natural celestial bodies." Gan De was the first to speak, continuing his work without pause. "The frequency of the newly detected Gravitational Wave exceeds the frequencies of Gravitational Wave signals we know of in the natural cosmic environment. Therefore, we believe that this can no longer be considered Gravitational Wave signal, but rather Gravitational Wave oscillation."

"Commander, look here!"

After completing the task of converting the detected Gravitational Wave data onto the large screen, Gan De picked up the cursor and pointed to the parameters on the screen for Yue Yuan. He then said, "We have discovered that the Gravitational Wave is not just one place, but multiple places and points. The Gravitational Wave we received are actually interfering Gravitational Wave, with very chaotic frequencies and irregular changes."

"Gravity Bomb?" a scholar interjected.

"Perhaps!" It wasn't Gan De who took the lead, but a physicist. He slowly said, "Theoretically, Gravity Bomb exist. We believe that civilizations with Warp Speed Travel capabilities could possibly possess so-called Gravity Bomb."

The physicist didn't elaborate much on the relationship between Gravity Bomb and Warp Speed Travel because he understood that those who could discuss this here at least had a certain level of scientific literacy and should have some understanding of it.

Moreover, there is another point: the so-called relationship between the two is actually just a product of humanity combining the imperfect imagination of Warp Speed Travel with the imagination of spacetime distortion. Perhaps the real Gravity Bomb is not like that.

However, it seems that what this physicist was going to talk about was not the Gravity Bomb. He paused for a moment and continued, "According to our current scientific theories, well, if our theories are correct, the Gravity Bomb should be a technology mastered by Level 4 Civilization. And what can cause such intense Gravitational Wave must be several celestial bodies with masses far exceeding those of normal stars intertwined and disturbing spacetime."

Although this is just speculation, I don't believe that a mere Gravity Bomb could produce such violent Gravitational Wave. You should all remember the broadcast from the Silver Heart Alliance.

Do you really think that an alliance capable of broadcasting so recklessly, and even considering itself part of the Milky Way Galaxy, is merely a Level 4 Civilization?

"Are you saying that those civilizations whose names were mentioned on the radio are more advanced beings?" a military officer asked at the opportune moment.

The physicist nodded. "Yes, we cannot determine what level they belong to, but based on the chaotic Gravitational Wave fluctuations detected so far, I can assert that it must be a weapon more powerful than Gravity Bomb, perhaps a weapon that has already involved space itself."

The military personnel who had just expressed their doubts frowned. "Space Oscillation?! There really is such a weapon?"

"Why can't there be!" The physicist held his breath, scanned the crowd, and then said, "Some of you may still have some doubts, thinking that Gravitational Wave or spacetime distortions themselves don't have much destructive power. Well, that's actually true."

Just as we are currently in the midst of Gravitational Wave disturbances, without the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna array, we wouldn't even feel anything.

"But everyone must understand that at this very moment, you, me, and our entire fleet are being stretched and compressed along with the Gravitational Wave coming from two hundred light-years away. The reason we don't feel it strongly is firstly because we humans don't have any intuitive organs that react to changes in Gravitational Wave, and secondly because the oscillations of the Gravitational Wave have become very weak by the time they reach us. This is just like how we have always lived on Earth. Earth, or any planet, is actually a Gravity well, only it's relatively smooth."
