The origin star system where Tai Hao resides is very similar to the solar system.
Similarly, a yellow dwarf star serves as the main sequence star. The galaxy has eight planets rotating around the central star.
Even the position of the origin star is similar to Earth, both being in the habitable zone, one astronomical unit away from the main sequence star. In order of arrangement, it is the third planet in the origin star system.
Five astronomical units away, there is also a giant gas planet that uses its enormous gravitational pull to protect the origin star.
The eighth planet is 28 astronomical units away from the origin star, so it took more than three hours for an astronomical telescope on the origin star to observe the scene of the eighth planet's destruction.
The bad thing is that the Star River Empire is currently in the budding stages of the electrical age, and radio technology has not yet appeared. The observatory cannot transmit the news at all.
Fortunately, the origin star has a particle that can travel at the speed of light. The particle is also intelligent enough.
There is also a ruler who is deeply concerned about the anomalies in the universe.
Half an hour later, as the particle passed by the observatory, it immediately discovered the information about the eighth planet's destruction.
The particle immediately created a mathematical model for analysis and instantly came to an answer. The eighth planet couldn't have been destroyed naturally; it was very likely destroyed by an advanced civilization.
The particle immediately appeared before Tai Hao, unfolding in three dimensions to display the intelligence and analysis results in text form before Tai Hao's eyes.
Tai Hao was numb.
Why was he so unlucky? The angels had only left recently, and now another advanced civilization had arrived, and it had even destroyed a useless gas planet.
Are they insane?
However, Tai Hao also realized that this time, the aliens that had arrived were definitely not friendly.
During this period, although the angels of the Melo Heavenly Court had already been spreading their righteous ideals throughout the universe, due to the war with the demon civilization, the promotion of righteous order was exceptionally slow.
In the current universe, there are too many advanced civilizations that do not care about the will of the angels.
Therefore, the universe is still in a state of chaos and disorder.
The most urgent thing now is to obtain specific intelligence.
What civilization destroyed the eighth planet? How many warships does it have? What is its purpose in coming to the origin star?
"Particle, create a model to calculate the other party's trajectory, then search within one astronomical unit of the origin star, find them and acquire intelligence!"
(Okay, creating a mathematical model immediately, calculating the optimal trajectory between the eighth planet and the origin star.)
(Calculation complete, adjusting orientation.)
The next instant, the particle's three-dimensional projection disappeared before Tai Hao, flying away from the origin star at the speed of light.
"I hope the particle can discover the other side."
After expressing his hope, Tai Hao immediately went to the entrance of the Cretaceous base and took the elevator down to the third level.
As the elevator descended, Tai Hao contemplated how the empire would overcome this crisis and whether the power he possessed could ensure the empire's safety.
Soon, the elevator reached the third level of the base.
"Your Majesty, welcome your arrival!"
Nan Gong Bo Wen, the administrator of the third-level base, quickly walked to Tai Hao, his eyes filled with reverence as he greeted him.
Nan Gong Bo Wen, a member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, was one of the earliest people to receive physical knowledge.
Due to his strong professional knowledge and extreme loyalty to Tai Hao, he was chosen by Tai Hao to become the administrator of the third level.
"You've worked hard, Bo Wen."
Tai Hao nodded in response to the man under forty, then took the lead towards the warship parked in the base, inquiring about the training situation of the crew as he walked.
"How is the training of the selected pilots? Are they capable of operating this ship for combat now?"
Upon hearing Tai Hao's question, Nan Gong Bo Wen smiled confidently and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, the two thousand pilots, after diligent study, can now proficiently operate this ship's functions. The only thing lacking is actual practice."
Tai Hao smiled in satisfaction.
This was indeed good news. After a year of preparation, the Natural Selection had finally developed combat capability.
Moreover, an opportunity to let them practice combat with their ships was coming soon.
"Excellent. Let them immediately return to their posts, conduct spaceflight, and have a war simulation exercise."
Nan Gong Bo Wen was taken aback, his expression hesitant, "Your Majesty, conducting a combat exercise now seems a bit too early. Maybe let them study for a while longer?"
Since becoming the administrator of the third level, the Natural Selection had become Nan Gong Bo Wen's pride and joy. If the pilots made even the slightest mistake during training, he would reprimand them.
Tai Hao sighed, "It's not too early. This is the perfect time, otherwise, there might not be another chance."
With Tai Hao's order, the two thousand members immediately sprang into action. Entering the Natural Selection, they quickly returned to their stations.
As a highly intelligent spaceship, the Natural Selection had its own intelligent system. Learning how to pilot it wasn't difficult.
The most challenging jobs were maintaining and repairing the ship.
Once everyone on the third level had evacuated, Captain Shang Guan Rui successfully started the engine with the help of the intelligent system. The lift platform above opened a passage wide enough for the warship to pass through with the assistance of machinery.
The Natural Selection used its vertical lift thrusters to fly up to the surface.
Now, all that remained was for the particle to return. Then, Tai Hao would make a judgment based on the intelligence to determine whether to give an attack order or initiate interstellar escape.
Ten astronomical units away from the origin star, the demons were flying their spaceship towards the origin star at high speed.
The ship's observation system had detected signs of life on the origin star.
For the demons, discovering a planet with life was a major discovery.
Especially now that the demons were in their dormant phase.
Spread demon genes, create primordial demons, and select qualified demon warriors.
These were the tasks of these two demons!
"Our luck is incredible. We actually discovered a planet with life in this remote galaxy. Hopefully, the life on that planet isn't a beastly civilization!"
After the Shape War, all beastly civilizations were driven to the edge of the known universe by the Shenhe body civilization.
Even the demons, who were known for being indiscriminate, still held a prejudice against beastly beings.
Even in the era of the Great Soldier Alliance, when the demon civilization was reduced to a handful of individuals, the Demon King Dalong, a member of the beastly branch, the Gigantic Demons, was looked down upon by all demons. The Crocodilian god Sothon, who possessed a divine body, also played the role of a mascot.
As the demon spaceship approached the origin star to within one astronomical unit, the particle appeared silently and invisibly within the ship.
