"General, right now, the Xuan Star Civilization. We have already avenged ourselves, but they may still come looking for trouble. If this matter is not resolved properly, in the future, besides the Xuan Star Civilization Fish Horse Star Civilization, we will also have the Xuanxing Civilization as a formidable opponent. If we can turn enemies into friends, our chances of defeating the Fish Horse Star Civilization will increase significantly." Academician Xiao also agreed to win over the Xuan Star Civilization.
"What are Academician Xiao's thoughts on how to resolve the enmity between us and the Xuan Star Civilization?"
"All our conflicts with the Xuan Star Civilization stem from the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Their attacks on us were at the behest of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Our reasons for attacking the Xuan Star Civilization are even simpler: without the interference of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, this war wouldn't have happened. Therefore, as long as we help them break free from the Fish Horse Star Civilization, there is still hope for cooperation. Furthermore, they didn't raise the Zerg swarm; they only helped the Mu Star Civilization clear obstacles, indicating that they don't really want to be controlled by the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Such a proud civilization, if it weren't for the problem with its leader, certainly wouldn't have become a henchman of the Fish Horse Star Civilization."
"So, just as Mr. Daozi said, we should wipe out the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet at the Mu Star Civilization, completely destroy the Mu Star Civilization, and then demonstrate our powerful strength. I believe this will shock the Xuan Star Civilization. In addition, we must eliminate the current leader of the Xuan Star Civilization and force them to elect a new leader. Then, when we go to negotiate, it may increase our chances of success."
"However, the secret of eliminating the current leader can only be known by us. It must be carried out in secrecy, and after the operation, this secret must be kept forever."
" Academician Xiao said is similar to my thoughts. Since Mr. Daozi said that the real Fish Horse Star Civilization wouldn't dare to appear at this time, then we'll devour their fleet, destroy the Mu Star Civilization, and incidentally explore what secrets those captive humans hold. As for the Xuan Star Civilization, we'll deal with that after we've finished fighting them."
"I agree. Maybe we can even get some of the technology from the Great Corn Warship. We've been so frustrated these past few years. Finally, we can have a real fight with the Fish Horse Star Civilization," Wen Zhonghua said excitedly.
"Don't be too happy yet. Our Grim Slayer are no match for the Fish Horse Star warship. Even if we use the Second Reversed State now, it's probably just a matter of tofu and an egg to them. Our spatial attacks are negligible, as are the energy spheres and antimatter. Only Virtual Matter might have some effect."
"Oh right, I almost forgot something important," Academician Zeng suddenly said.
" Academician Zeng, what's the important matter?"
"Fifteen stars! I have to go right now. Such a complex star system is simply a miracle of the universe. It's impossible for it to exist stably for a long time; it could collide and disappear at any moment. The old man told us to go see it, so there must be something interesting there. Last time we missed the dimensional technology of the four-dimensional bubble; we absolutely can't miss it this time."
"Alright, Academician Zeng, please inform the academicians in the relevant disciplines to prepare. I will arrange for the escort fleet to depart immediately. Zhonghua, you and Jianchuan will accompany the academicians."
Soon, several thousand academicians, having received the notification, arrived in a grand procession from the Science City aboard small spaceships atop the high-altitude Grim Slayer. These academicians encompassed multiple disciplines, including space, dimension, time, and astrophysics, and were all top-tier academicians. The awarding of academician titles in the fleet was extremely rigorous; only truly highly intelligent, capable, and knowledgeable individuals had the opportunity to be granted the title of academician. Otherwise, over ten thousand years would have passed, and only a few hundred thousand people would have received the title of academician.
To ensure the absolute safety of these academicians, Hu Yu directly dispatched 500 million Grim Slayer to the coordinates of the Fifteen-Star Alliance, 6,000 light-years away. Of the 1 billion Grim Slayer used to rescue the Tree Race, only 400 million remained. Fortunately, 400 million ships were left to guard the Alliance territory of JD6.
The Tree Race elders are still on their way and it is estimated that they will not be able to return to their territory for more than two years. Their safety is no longer a concern. The Tree Race chief was overjoyed by the success of this operation. Moreover, after learning that the Far Watcher Civilization would no longer cause them trouble, he became even more ambitious and determined to lead the Tree Race to become strong again and contribute to the Alliance.
Duohe Star System are a very common type of stellar system in the universe. When we look into deep space with the naked eye, most of the stars we see are not single stars; they may be two stars, three stars, or even more stars.
In multi-star systems, if the participating stars have similar masses, it is difficult to achieve a stable orbit. Moreover, the more stars involved, the more unstable the system becomes. It is very fortunate that a fifteen-star system like this can exist for several hundred years. However, the fleet has also seen stable Duohe Star System where nine low-mass stars orbit a high-mass star like planets.
Studying such stable multi-star systems is meaningless; only the more unstable they are, the deeper mysteries they may reveal. The fifteen-star system is already in sight. The complexity and variability of this system have exceeded the imagination of all academicians. Originally, it was thought that this was at most an upgrade of the multi-body system, but the reality is ten thousand times different from what was imagined.
Generally, no matter how complex Duohe Star System, their trajectories are almost always on the same plane. Even if there are some angles, they will not exceed 45 degrees. But this is different. The trajectory of some stars is perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way. Under normal circumstances, this is almost impossible.
Eight stars orbit in the same direction as the galactic plane, while seven stars orbit perpendicular to it. Regardless of the plane, the stars' orbits are neither circular nor elliptical. A star might orbit a normal arc, then be pulled away by another star, its trajectory immediately becoming a straight line. After orbiting for a while, it is again affected by another passing star.
These fifteen stars are crammed into an extremely small space of ten astronomical units. Their trajectories are unpredictable, and each star influences the others, causing their orbits to change constantly. Yet, despite these changes, they have not collided and have maintained a brief balance. This is truly a marvel of the universe, or perhaps a miracle created by Mr. Daozi. Many suspect that this Duohe Star System may very well have been created by Mr. Daozi; otherwise, it would be hard to believe that the probability of such a system existing is far smaller than a monkey drawing on the ground and creating an epic masterpiece.
Academician Zeng immediately ordered the fleet to cease maneuvering, daring only to observe from a distance. In this state, the system's balance could be disrupted even by a mere breath.
The computer immediately simulated the orbits of these planets. Even if no clues were found now, further research could be conducted later. However, the academicians were currently focused on the measured data, which changed every second, making it dizzying to watch. The academicians hoped to discover something special from this data.
