System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 802 - 328: "Warning, Warning, Warning!

This made countless people exceptionally jubilant!

100,000 light-years!

This means that in future wars, they will practically hold an absolute first-move advantage!

They can detect more information.

Finally...

In the presence of high-ranking officials from the Kasha civilization, everyone gathered together and activated the "Doppler Radar" for the first time. Soon, all the star systems within 100,000 light-years were displayed on the giant screen hanging high in the conference room!

Sparking cheers from countless people.

The Kasha civilization, born in this barren resource area, fought its way into the rich resource area after many years of effort. Although they retreated in defeat, they believed that it wouldn’t be long before they could fight their way back!

However—

When everything appeared on the screen.

The leader of the Kasha civilization stood bewildered in place, only to see the screen showing an extremely sparse number of planets and stars within a 100,000 light-years range, with virtually no civilizations and very few mining stars.

This area was already known to be resource-scarce.

But... he remembered that there used to be quite a few civilizations here; why are there so few now?

But soon, a red light point was suddenly detected a few light-years away, and a massive Stellar Giant Beast seemed to be leisurely drifting through the cosmos as if it had just fed, but the next moment, as if detecting the scan, it suddenly appeared enraged and charged towards the Kasha civilization!

A length as wide as 2.5 light-years, moving at nearly the speed of light, everything along the way was completely torn apart!

At the same time—

A warning sound echoed almost instantly throughout the conference room and on all the trains of the Kasha civilization!

"Warning, warning, warning!"

Everyone’s expression changed dramatically, but they were already powerless, for this was an interstellar natural disaster that their civilization could not possibly withstand!

The Star System Wormhole could not be used again in a short time.

...

"..."

Inside the Constant Star Train, Chen Mang leaned against the chair, looking at the screen. Although he didn’t see firsthand how the Kasha civilization was destroyed, he could vaguely guess a little, and he felt that his conjecture was quite close to reality.

That unknown Stellar Giant Beast was the culprit.

Before this.

He knew that the Kasha civilization did not have a Level 200 Doppler Radar, and it was likely his appearance that made them realize the importance of the radar level, prompting them to upgrade it at all costs. However, coincidentally, the Stellar Giant Beast happened to wander within the radar’s detection range.

Disaster ensued.

The second law of cosmic survival: The weak candle of light cannot fathom the dark firmament.

The radar level isn’t necessarily better when higher.

Suppose he now possessed a Level 5000 radar, then he might face instant annihilation, with high-dimensional civilizations or beings crushing him through dimension reduction. But having it too low wouldn’t do, as it wouldn’t allow for the immediate detection of anomalous attacks; there is a balance that needs to be maintained.

However...

He felt that the Kasha civilization might not be completely annihilated, as they possessed means to escape through Star System Wormholes. Even if they couldn’t manage an escape like last time where everyone fled, he figured such a thing couldn’t happen instantly, right?

It should have required prior preparation, right?

Just then—

Ai’s voice came from within the train: "Train Captain, after recalculating, I found some loopholes. Perhaps this information might be of some help to you."

"Go ahead."

Chen Mang slightly raised his eyebrows, patiently listening.

"When we first headed to that region and arrived at the ’Gemini Star,’ there was no sign of the Stellar Giant Beast within the radar’s detection range."

"Following our return from Gemini Star, we spent seven days collecting the remaining mining stars from the Kasha civilization and three days organizing the historical records of the Nia civilization, amounting to roughly over ten days."

"Just now, upon encountering that Stellar Giant Beast, the distance was 7.1 light-years, with the train’s warning estimating an arrival in 7289 seconds."

"This is an extremely fast speed."

"It only takes just over two hours to traverse 7.1 light-years."

"Equivalent to 30,700 times the speed of light, but of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Stellar Giant Beast’s speed reached this multiplier, but was achieved by destroying and distorting locales with its mass and velocity."

"But—"

"Even so, if the Kasha civilization upgraded their radar to Level 200, and that Stellar Giant Beast just happened to appear within a 100,000 light-years range, at this speed, it would take the Stellar Giant Beast 3.26 years to cross 100,000 light-years to reach the Kasha civilization."

"Yet just ten days later, upon our return to that area, the Stellar Giant Beast was already there, and the Kasha civilization had vanished."

"This implies that the Stellar Giant Beast wasn’t charging from the edge of the 100,000-light-year radius to find the Kasha civilization, but more likely... was directly deployed over them."

"Much like dropping a bomb."

"..."

Chen Mang remained silent, slightly narrowing his eyes. He did not have a concrete concept for 100,000 light-years; people only have a specific notion of the distances they have traveled.

He had a concept of 100 meters because he ran 100-meter sprints.

He had a concept of 1,000 meters because he ran kilometers.

But he really had no concrete concept for 100,000 light-years; he hadn’t thought about it in that way before, but Ai only saw data, and for AI, data is the most intuitive representation, revealing many contradictions once cross-referenced.

This also meant—

The Kasha civilization transformed from the role of an unlucky victim to one premeditatedly targeted for destruction.
