Chapter 255: An Asteroid
All officials and scholars believed that the Olive Branch Civilization army was coming.
However, 103 years later, the so-called army became an asteroid with a diameter of 129 kilometers.
The asteroid stayed in the starry sky, and then the gravity corridor disappeared, without any trace of warships.
"What is that?"
Not only the Federation had this question, but also 8672804 in /Star City.
In recent years, it has been studying why the civilization wants to destroy it. It is not a fool. Even if a fool spends 100 years, he can always find the truth.
Soon it guessed that there might be an error in the shared consciousness cluster of /Star City, and the two fleets before were probably "their own people".
It began to analyze the shared consciousness cluster and found a loophole.
The source of this loophole pointed to the Civilization Federation.
The Civilization Federation knew that it could not fight against the glory of Geis, so it took the opportunity to insert viruses into the life bodies of /Star City. These viruses will change the cognition of /Star City life.
After discovering this, 8672804 was extremely angry.
It quickly sent this message to the civilization, but there was no reply from the civilization.
It was obvious that the civilization refused to believe it.
8672804 wanted to cry but had no tears.
I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect that I would become the leader of the villains in just a few hundred years.
It has been sending messages over the years to show that it has restored this loophole and that similar mistakes will not happen again.
However, the gravity channel is still built, and the asteroid is also sent over.
8672804 was puzzled and extremely scared at the same time. It knew that the civilization would definitely not let it go. Now that such a huge loss has been caused, the only thing the civilization can do is to kill it and not let it go.
"It's over, it's over. What I have to do now is to save myself. No, no, no... I should take the spaceship back immediately and let myself be imprisoned."
"No, maybe it will be destroyed as soon as it reaches the outskirts of Star City."
"Ahhh~ Crazy!"
8672804 was so anxious that he went crazy, and finally decided to give up.
"Forget it, I'll die, I've lived long enough."
It struggled internally for 18 years.
However, the asteroid, which was only 0.22 light years away from /Star City, had not moved. It just stayed there quietly.
8672804 used a telescope to see and found some metal pipes on the surface of the asteroid.
"I knew it was a warship, or a weapon." 8672804 didn't have much hope.
At this time, the shared consciousness cluster also thought so. The entire shared consciousness cluster was staring at the asteroid all the time, but the asteroid was repeating in the starry sky according to a certain orbit, without any intention of attacking.
The only thing that attracted attention was that the asteroid was constantly approaching /Star City. This approach was very natural, and it was probably affected by /Star City and the stars. It was also very slow, moving about a few hundred meters every year, which was too slow for the starry sky. Even an ant would not crawl so slowly.
"That should be a newly made weapon."
"Gravity weapon? Or something else? I can't think of it at all."
"Maybe something went wrong, causing the power system to be damaged?"
"Maybe the weapon itself can only be so slow, it's waiting for a trigger."
The shared consciousness cluster analyzed over and over again, but just as the Federation now doesn't know the status of /Star City and can't analyze the direction of the war, they can't be sure what the asteroid is, and why the asteroid moves so slowly?
A heavy sense of crisis squeezed the entire /Star City.
Although the shared consciousness cluster is very close to a machine, it is not after all. When the same emotion breaks out in the hearts of most of the shared consciousness clusters, then this emotion will spread to the entire shared consciousness cluster, that is to say, the shared consciousness cluster also has emotions.
And now, this emotion is panic.
Like /Star City, the Federation is also facing this problem.
"What exactly is that asteroid?"
Fennelly organized people to start analyzing mass, material composition, etc., but the results of the analysis could not reveal the answer.
It was like an asteroid, not any other battleship or weapon.
"It should be a super weapon unique to the Olive Branch Civilization, but I don't know what effect this weapon has now."
"It's coming towards us. It seems that Star City is still on the side of the Olive Branch Civilization."
Fennelly looked at the data. The asteroid was approaching them at a speed of 600 kilometers per year. Although this was very slow and the distance between the two sides was a full 7 light years, it would arrive sooner or later.
The main reason was that it was unclear what type of weapon the asteroid was.
"With such a slow speed, could it be that it wanted us to take the initiative to explore before triggering it? It's like a landmine."
"It's possible."
Everyone was analyzing it, but according to the observation data, the asteroid was constantly accelerating, which was obviously not in line with physics. There must be something inside the asteroid pushing the asteroid forward.
"Why not fire a shell to destroy it?" A scholar suggested.
Now that the distance is so far, what can it do even if that thing is a weapon? Can it still affect 7 light years?
"Try it, it shouldn't be that easy."
The shells are ready, and they will hit the target after 7 years.
However, the information indicated: "The target was hit, but it seems that it was not hit."
The target that should be hit is still coming here, and even its appearance has not changed. They fired a planet-destroying energy cannon, but it did not cause any damage to that thing?
"Try again."
Another 7 years, still no success.
"If it really doesn't work, just send a spacecraft to land and see what the structure is."
"Use a bionic man."
The landing plan was quickly launched. The spacecraft approached the asteroid but lost contact instantly. It was not until 2 years later that the spacecraft reappeared and was on its way back.
Fennelly ordered the spacecraft to transmit the logs of the past 2 years, but there was no response.
"Destroy that spacecraft!" Finally, he had to make a decision.
He couldn't be sure whether the interior of the spacecraft had been modified or if there were any other things.
"Whatever it is, try to prevent it from approaching us, at all costs."
"The second war with the Olive Branch Civilization has begun. Don't take it lightly."
The threat of the Olive Branch Civilization is approaching.
A strong sense of tension quietly spread in the hearts of every federal life at the end of the Silk Road of the Universe.
/Star City and the Federation both feel tremendous pressure from the Olive Branch Civilization.
