Time flew by.
Earth Calendar, year 3637.
Escorted by a small fleet, a Moon-sized megastructure dropped out of curvature navigation and arrived near the HIP 22580 Stellar System.
The [Star Core Reaction Interference Device], code-named [Xihe].
It had to be said that the grand vision Academician Mao Zhengzhi had painted was enticing enough.
So enticing that the Academy of Sciences had raised matters concerning the [Nus Civilization] to its second-highest priority.
[Xihe] slowly approached a star in the HIP 22580 Stellar System.
Before the enormous star, the Moon-sized [Xihe] megastructure was as inconspicuous as a tiny sesame seed.
Yet that tiny sesame seed possessed the power to turn the star upside down!
In the Kepler-452 Stellar System, 23 light-years away, Zero followed Lü Yongchang's orders and temporarily suspended various nonessential computations, diverting all that spare processing power to [Xihe].
Under Zero's remote control, the spherical [Xihe] slowly split open, revealing the complex grand unified field generators within.
As the Antimatter Engine's output steadily increased, the grand unified field grew stronger.
Tiny ripples gradually began to appear on the star's surface.
The next moment...
A thick purple laser shot out from inside [Xihe], streaking straight toward the nearby star!
The purple laser beam, packed with tremendous energy, instantly plunged beneath the star's surface and bored into its core!
To the star, that amount of energy was insignificant.
But under the grand unified field's precise control, it triggered a series of subtle, exquisitely controlled chain reactions, like falling dominoes!
The entire process lasted several months.
At last, quantitative changes led to a qualitative transformation!
The fusion reactions within the star intensified, releasing powerful gamma rays!
Boom!
The once-calm star unleashed unprecedented power!
As though sneezing, it sprayed an immensely powerful burst of gamma rays into its surroundings!
Like a surging tide,
