The HIP 22580 Stellar System.
The blinding light slowly faded. The [River of Forgetfulness Ship] retracted its six extended Grand Unified Field Sails, returning to its original spindle shape.
A High-Energy Neutron Storm lasting three full minutes had been unleashed, hurtling toward the target planet at nearly the speed of light!
The waters of the Forgotten River surged without end, playing Death’s Symphony in this unremarkable stellar system!
Around the [River of Forgetfulness Ship] stood a small escort fleet composed of [Black Tortoise] frigates and [Golden Crow] battleships.
Farther away, silver-white Spherical Probes streaked through the stellar system, carefully investigating its other planets.
The view switched back to the target planet-HIP22580f.
The High-Energy Neutron Storm had crossed the vast distance and poured into the target planet's atmosphere like a torrential downpour.
Neutrons carried no electric charge, so there were no fantastical auroras to be seen with the naked eye.
But as time passed, a bizarre sight appeared on-screen!
A circular patch of withered yellow abruptly appeared in the area directly facing the [River of Forgetfulness Ship].
Then the withered-yellow circle rapidly spread outward at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Under the [River of Forgetfulness Ship]'s assault, the planet, once blue with vegetation, was gradually becoming a lifeless, withered-yellow world!
The High-Energy Neutron Storm ended.
As the high-energy neutron flux gradually dissipated, the silver-white probes swiftly approached the target planet and activated their life-detection instruments at maximum power.
[High-Energy Neutron Storm completed.] [No signs of life detected on the target planet.]
Looking at the information flashing yellow before him, Lü Yongchang set down his work and let out a long breath.
"Zero, prepare to land."
Lü Yongchang glanced at the various readings sent back by the probes and muttered hesitantly, "The gamma ray intensity is nowhere
