Seeing the situation, the faces of those inside the spaceships bridge turned unsightly.
The other partys reaction clearly indicated they had no interest in talking.
They didnt even entertain the idea of feigning interest.
Red Lotus, didnt Professor Tang leave any defensive weapons? a senior official asked.
Faced with this situation, they had no choice but to resort to force.
With humanitys current level of technology, it was impossible to destroy this interstellar fleet.
Therefore, they could only hope for the weapons left by Tang Rui.
Based on their understanding of Tang Rui.
There might be a lack of other things, but weapons, definitely not.
Take the star ring outside Earths space, for instance.
They wouldnt believe it if you told them there were no weapons on it, after all, it was designed by Tang Rui. How could it not have a weapons system?
Unfortunately, the star ring truly had no weapons.
Its not that Tang Rui didnt design them, but they hadnt been installed yet, and even if installed, theyd be useless without an energy system to power them.
As for the weapons Tang Rui left before, they were virtually useless against this interstellar fleet.
The only weapon that could pose a threat to this interstellar fleet was the antimatter weapon, the positron cannon, previously placed in Jupiters orbit.
But the problem was, the energy ships and satellites outside of Jupiters orbit, along with some other equipment, had already been scrapped.
Now, even if they wanted to use the positron cannon, they couldnt activate it.
So, after calculating what Tang Rui had left behind, Red Lotus helplessly said, Im sorry, the weapons left by the master cannot pose a threat to this interstellar fleet.
The only thing capable of combating the enemy fleet is the current Aurora space ship, but this ship is meant for preserving life, not for battle.
What about the people on Earth?
Im sorry, Im powerless.
Red Lotus, can the Aurora eliminate this fleet?
Its indeterminate, the opponents defense system and interference system are beyond our scanning range, making it impossible to accurately estimate the performance of their cosmic warships.
Cant we try?
Emergency protocol base command forbids putting the Aurora at risk without absolute certainty.
After Red Lotus spoke, the bridge fell silent.
After a while, the senior officials then said, Red Lotus, arrange a shuttle to take us down.
Alright, Ill arrange the shuttle.
Red Lotus didnt stop them, as this was anticipated.
Red Lotus, cant we contact Tang Rui? Li Shuyao asked anxiously.
There wasnt much they could do even if they returned.
But no one could stop their return.
Emergency contact information has been sent, but due to the curvature of space-time, I cannot determine when the master will receive the message.
Red Lotus was helpless.
It could only send messages, but the issue of space-time curvature was beyond its capability.
All they could do now was pray for Tang Ruis swift return.
Soon, a group of people took a shuttle back to the country and issued a series of orders.
The entire military was put on the highest alert.
All resources were mobilized.
The underground nuclear Great Wall and all civil defense works were opened, and the populace was relocated.
At the same time, Red Lotus activated all industrial equipment within the solar system, upgrading and modifying production lines at the fastest speed to start manufacturing various weapons.
In a bid to buy precious time, it controlled all mining ships to charge at the alien fleet in a kamikaze manner.
It was futile.
The technological gap couldnt be bridged by sheer numbers.
The scene was akin to cavalry charging at machine gun positions, posing no threat and at best, depleting some of the enemys ammunition.
Within three minutes, all mining ships were completely destroyed by the opposition.
Not only that, when the alien fleet arrived at the mining ships wreckage area, with the spread of light waves,
The wreckage of these mining ships was also salvaged by the alien fleet as resource reserves.
It was a ruthless move.
The weapons hastily modified by Red Lotus had no effect on the alien fleet, who continued to wreak havoc within the solar system.
Half an hour later, the massive alien fleet arrived around Jupiter, with several large ships approaching Jupiter.
The next second, these ships began extracting hydrogen from Jupiters interior like high-power vacuum cleaners.
Giant gas tornadoes, hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, soared into the sky.
At every moment, an immeasurable amount of material was sucked into the ships.
The stirring of Jupiters atmosphere, forming massive vortices on its surface, was a sight to behold.
To anyone observing, it was clear the alien fleet was treating Jupiter as a resource supply.
However, this also provided some relief.
If they were just extracting hydrogen from Jupiter, that was manageable.
Although the loss of Jupiters mass would have significant effects on the solar system, as long as it didnt lead to the immediate extinction of humanity,
It wasnt considered a major issue.
After all, humanity was about to flee, making the solar systems problems irrelevant.
But not much later, several ships headed towards Earth.
Their target was clear.
It was Earth.
In less than three minutes, the ships reached a point 1.2 million kilometers from Earth.
For a civilization capable of interstellar travel, this distance was negligible.
The ships halted.
Lights flickered on the surface of the ships.
Several beams of light cut through the cosmic void, striking the Earths surface directly.
Boom!
The entire Earth exploded.
In the Andromeda galaxy,
Within a dead star system, a rapidly spinning neutron star suddenly halted.
Simultaneously, the gravitational field of the neutron star disappeared.
The electromagnetic pulses that were constantly emitted into the universe also stopped at that moment.
If it werent for the blue-white light still being emitted from the neutron star, visible to the naked eye, anyone would think the neutron star had vanished.
Beep beep beep
Tang Rui, who had just transformed this neutron star into a neutron battle star, hadnt yet experienced its power when he received an urgent communication from Earth.
An alien fleet? And theyre unfriendly, refusing to communicate?
After reading the urgent message sent by Red Lotus, Tang Rui murmured with a frown.
He had a bad feeling.
Calculate the time the urgent message was sent. Tang Rui asked the main brain of the neutron battle star, which was a copy of Red Lotus.
Master, based on the time axis calculation, the urgent message was sent five days ago in Earth time.
Hearing Red Lotuss reply, Tang Rui grimaced.
Given the combat power of the alien fleet, Earth wouldnt last five hours, let alone five days.
If the aliens were hostile, destroying Earth with their technological superiority would be easy.
So, if he were to rush back now, it would be too late.
But he wasnt worried.
Although theoretically, Earth might already be doomed, in practical terms, he wasnt without options.
As long as he didnt observe Earth, its time function wouldnt collapse, and there was still a chance for recovery.
The Earths timeline was now anchored to the moment Red Lotus sent the urgent message.
That timeline had collapsed because he received the message.
As for the timeline after that, it was completely unknown to Tang Rui, meaning it belonged to the future.
The past couldnt be changed.
Or rather, with his current abilities, he couldnt alter a collapsed timeline to reverse time.
But a future timeline that hadnt occurred was not immutable to him.
Anchor the time axis within ten minutes after the urgent message was sent, activate the neutron battle stars gravitational collapse engine, and initiate a spacetime jump.
Gravitational collapse engine activated, time axis anchored, performing a spacetime jump.
Whoosh!
The neutron battle star vanished from the Andromeda galaxy.
When it reappeared, it was in the cosmic void between Mars and Jupiters orbits in the solar system.
At this time node, the alien civilizations fleet had just destroyed the mining ships in the Kuiper Belt and was heading towards Jupiter to gather materials.
Master, youve returned just in time.
The moment the neutron battle star appeared in the solar system, Red Lotus sent a communication link, sounding somewhat excited.
Its not exactly just in time, but thats not important. Tang Rui didnt explain much.
The method of spacetime jump anchoring the time axis wasnt about reversing the past, but it was akin to dividing a timeline into two different futures, which can be understood as parallel universes.
As for the future of the timeline where Earth was destroyed, that wasnt Tang Ruis concern.
His current technology wasnt capable of merging timelines.
He could only anchor the time axis within the same universes light cone on a small scale, and it had to be a timeline not observed, without spacetime collapse.
So theoretically, this was also a form of reversing the past.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the neutron battle star.
The alien civilization fleet launched an attack immediately, employing powerful micro-level attacks, not just simple laser cannon exchanges to clean up debris.
However, these attacks had no effect on the neutron battle star.
Unless the neutron degenerate state structure was destroyed, the neutron battle star couldnt be threatened.
Not to mention the cores time distortion.
Red Lotus, eliminate them.
Tang Rui issued the order in a calm tone, showing little emotional fluctuation.
With the neutron battle star in hand, such an enemy hardly aroused his interest.
Okay, master.
Under Red Lotuss control, the neutron battle star launched a simple attack, a spacetime-level assault.
The next second, all the spaceships of the alien civilizations were twisted by an invisible force and turned into the most basic particles, drifting in the void of space.
Dimensional reduction was just that terrifying.
As long as the level of technology was not high enough, they would not be able to resist or even fight back.
After dealing with the alien fleet, Earth returned to normal.
Although they had lost some mining spaceships, it was a small problem. It would not take long for them to make up for it.
Half a year later, following the completion of the enormous starlink, Tang Rui spent Origin Points to strengthen the starlink.
The huge space ring became a stargate, and it was a stargate that could carry Earth through space warp.
When are we leaving? Tang Rui asked.
Lets wait for a while more. Central TVs documentary on the Solar System hasnt finished filming yet. There are still many people who want to travel around the Solar System. After all, they wont be able to return after leaving this time.
Of course, if youre in a hurry, you can set off at any time. The old man said to Tang Rui.
It doesnt matter. The stargate has been built, and the Neutron Battlestar has been left behind for you. You can leave whenever you want, Tang Rui said indifferently.
Without the worries of Earth, he could travel to the universe at any time. Therefore, when Earth would warp to the Virgo galaxy did not have much to do with him.
Moreover, he did not have to worry about any danger on Earth.
As long as he wanted to, he could come back anytime.
When are you leaving? The old man asked.
The day after tomorrow.
The next day, Tang Rui brought Li Shuyao to have a reunion dinner with his family. He also mentioned that he was going on an extraterrestrial scientific expedition.
He had already made arrangements at home.
Even his communication equipment had been upgraded, so he could contact them at any time.
So when Tang Rui left, everyone also did not reveal any emotions of being reluctant to part.
The next day, a luxurious universe ship took off from the base.
