One After Another

"As for the Space Oscillation," the physicist said, then realized that his body was slowly floating up. He then remembered that he had been rushing here and had used 'floating' to get there, so he had forgotten to turn on his Magnetic Boots.

After pressing the switch button on his Magnetic Boots and pulling himself back to the floor, he continued, "As for Space Oscillation, just as the principle of Gravity Bomb is to generate sufficiently large Gravity at a certain point so that different locations of the target are instantly pulled by different forces and destroyed, Space Oscillation are probably similar. Everyone is familiar with the Roche Limit, so I won't go into detail. Perhaps, it already falls within the scope of spatial tearing."

Listening to the physicist's analysis, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

The fact that Space Technology exists only in science fiction suggests that such a civilization is so advanced that it surpasses human comprehension.

Everything is just speculation, after all, human information is very limited. Even the Moke Star People never mentioned such an existence, and the same is true in the Kun-Tai Civilization's database.

Okay, now...

Seeing everyone's expressions, Yue Yuan immediately spoke up to remind them that although humanity couldn't do anything right now, they couldn't really do nothing. For example, they should shut down the other thrusters and keep the human fleet in a state of thruster silence to reduce the possibility of being detected by Alien Civilization. This was something they still needed to do.

However, before he could even utter a word, a new change appeared on the screen viewed through the telescope.

The screen was right in Yue Yuan's peripheral vision, but he only noticed that the dazzling image of stars that had appeared on the screen after being transcoded suddenly turned black.

Seeing this, Yue Yuan looked up and found that the screen had indeed turned completely black. He quickly asked the staff member in charge of the signal, "What happened? Why did the telescope signal go down?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yue Yuan felt something was wrong, because he saw the icon indicating that the signal was normal.

Equipment malfunction?

Another possibility popped into his mind.

The answer was unexpected. The staff member skillfully operated the control panel in front of him for two seconds and then announced the result, "The signal is normal, the equipment is working normally! The optical telescope and the Radio Telescope are also operating normally."

Normal?

Yue Yuan was taken aback. It was normal. How could the brilliant starry sky disappear in an instant? Could it be that something cut off the light?

Thinking this, he then asked, "What about the Neutrino Detection? Wait, what about the stars in other directions?"

He rubbed his temples as soon as the topic of Neutrino Detection came up; he was confused. Neutrino Detection differ from optical telescopes; they need to emit a beam of neutrinos to detect targets.

But right now we have no target, and even if we fire a neutrino beam toward the Gravitational Wave, it would take hundreds of years to get a response. Of course, in reality, it's impossible to detect such a distant distance.

So as soon as he said it, he changed his mind.

"Wait a moment, switching the real-world orientation!" The staff member said, and then gave the ship's Intelligent AI a command to connect other images to the split screen on the large screen.

"This"

Everyone was a little confused by this phenomenon and looked at the large screen and the split screen. After the command was issued, bright stars appeared on the split screen.

However, the big screen remained completely black.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the starry sky suddenly appeared on the big screen again.

This change left everyone somewhat bewildered, including the personnel controlling the detectors, because they hadn't issued any commands or performed any related operations during the change in the large screen image.

What exactly happened?

For a moment, everyone aboard the Lyra was filled with questions.

In fact, it's not just the Lyra; the intelligence centers of other Lake-Class Warship have had the same reaction. Many captains have already raised their questions on their respective squadron communication channels within the fleet.

The ship's Science Officer and relevant staff were also deep in thought.

"Commander Yue, this phenomenon seems to be a bit like the light being cut off for a period of time. It's like someone has blocked the light with a black curtain. If our signals and telescopes are working properly, I think it must be a huge opaque object passing directly through our fleet and that starry sky, or it could be a weapon that can cut off light," a military staff officer said first.

A weapon that cuts through light? What's the principle behind that? A military staff officer's words plunged the scientists present into deep thought. They felt the officer's analysis made sense, but what exactly was a weapon that cuts through light? How could such a weapon exist?

Compared to weapons capable of cutting through light, many people are more inclined to believe that the light was being blocked by something enormous.

But how big would it have to be to block the light from one direction of observation for the entire fleet? Starry Sky Behemoth?

The word popped into some people's minds, startling them.

In an instant, they felt that they, and indeed the entire human fleet, were under the shadow of some enormous creature, a feeling that crept into their hearts like deep-sea terror.

Meanwhile, after thinking for a while, Yue Yuan seemed to have grasped the key to distinguishing the cause, so he said, "Connect me to the fleet's main channel and ask the other warships if the optical observation screens turned black simultaneously, or if there was a time difference!"

Yue Yuan felt that if it was caused by some kind of weapon that could cut off light, as the staff officer had mentioned, then the human fleet should have observed the black curtain at the same time, because only a black curtain that obscures the starry sky could prevent all telescopes from seeing the light at the same time.

If it's another scenario, it's very likely that some kind of Starry Sky Behemoth or a super-massive warship swept past the rear of the human fleet, like Celestial Dog Eating the Sun.

Of course, if that were the case, it would be bad, because the starry sky in one direction is so vast that anything that could block the light must be very close to the human fleet.

Therefore, unlike others, Yue Yuan preferred to believe that there was a weapon that could block light in large areas, because if it were the other way around, it would mean that the human fleet had most likely been discovered by a certain civilization.

And humans have not discovered anything yet.

The staff quickly connected to the main channel as Yue Yuan had instructed and then verified the situation.

As an executor, this staff member obviously didn't think too much about it. After verifying the situation, he responded without hesitation, "Commander Yue, it has been verified. It's not synchronous. The optical telescopes observed that this phenomenon started from the direction of Warship 776, then the warships in the middle of the fleet, and then the direction of Warship 24. These are the specific times and durations of each warship's observation of this phenomenon."

After speaking, he displayed a set of data on a split screen for Yue Yuan and the others to view and compare. Little did he know that upon hearing about the lack of synchronization, Yue Yuan's heart sank.
