Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

At this moment, all the previous excitement in Li Qingsong's heart disappeared, and turned into incomparable solemnity.

The clone from the solar system regained its connection with its own consciousness, which obviously meant that the clone was awakened.

The automatic program he set up will only wake up the clone after detecting unexpected situations such as the arrival of an external fleet.

This seems to mean that something is happening in the solar system.

Sure enough, after the connection was restored, some of the images seen and information received by the clones in the solar system came into Li Qingsong's mind through this information transmission method that Li Qingsong could not understand for the time being.

Li Qingsong saw a dim star appear on the telescope observation interface.

That star was inconspicuous, just like thousands of ordinary stars. But Li Qingsong knew that there were no stars before that position!

It is obvious what it is.

It was the same tail flame of the fleet that he had seen when he first saw the Bluetuk fleet! Moreover, this tail flame was ejected towards the solar system, otherwise he would not have been able to see it. This meant that it was slowing down in the face of the solar system, and its ultimate goal was the solar system!

Through telescope observations, Li Qingsong quickly determined the current orbital velocity and acceleration of this dim light spot.

The final data shocked Li Qingsong.

Observations show that the light spot's speed facing the solar system reached about 220,000 kilometers per second, which is as high as 73.3% of the speed of light!

Moreover, the light spot is decelerating at a speed of about 0.8 meters per square second. According to this deceleration rate, when it arrives in the solar system, its speed will just drop to about 1,000 kilometers per second.

This speed is equivalent to staying within the solar system.

At this stage, it is about 3.2 light-years away from the sun, and it will reach the solar system in about 8.8 years.

At a distance of 3.2 light years, the telescopes that he had set up in the solar system could already see the tail flames released by this fleet. This...

How bright is the tail flame of this fleet? ! How directional is their tail flame?

The level of technology contained and implied by the tail flame alone is so advanced that Li Qingsong can hardly imagine it.

And... a deceleration rate of 0.8 meters per square second?

When his fleet left the solar system, the acceleration speed was only 0.04 meters per square second! At this moment, the speed of this fleet was 20 times faster than his own!

0.8 meters per square second may not seem like a lot, but even Li Qingsong's most backward warship can easily exceed it by ten times.

But don't forget that this number is the acceleration and deceleration rate of an entire huge fleet, with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of large and small spacecraft acting in coordination.

This is different from the acceleration and deceleration rates of a single spacecraft.

Just like me, the maximum acceleration and deceleration rate of a Mercury-class battleship can reach tens of meters per second. But for a migration fleet composed of hundreds of millions of ships, the maximum acceleration and deceleration rate can only be 0.04 meters per square second.

It’s not that I don’t want to go higher, but that I can’t go higher.

How difficult is it to coordinate a fleet composed of hundreds of millions of spacecraft? With such a huge coordination difficulty, if the acceleration rate is higher, the spacecraft will not be able to coordinate.

And at this moment, this fleet can actually decelerate at a rate of 0.8 meters per second squared...

The technological content behind this is so astonishing that it is even more astonishing than being able to see the tail flame from a distance of 3.2 light years.

Now, such a fleet equipped with ultra-high technology that is almost unimaginable to himself is heading towards the solar system.

It is almost certainly the robotic scourge that the Blueprint People mentioned!

At this moment, although Li Qingsong was already in the Altair galaxy and the intelligent mechanical disaster was heading to the solar system, Li Qingsong still did not dare to delay at all.

The reason is simple.

Since this intelligent scourge has arrived in the solar system, it means that the Bluetook civilization, which used empty spaceships as disguise when it fled the Bluetook galaxy, could not completely escape the pursuit of the intelligent scourge.

These disguises should be useful, otherwise the omnic disaster would not have come so late. But it finally came, which means that although it is useful, its usefulness is limited!

At most it can only delay a little time.

So……

Since the Bluetook civilization's original disguise only delayed a little time and failed to escape the pursuit of the mechanical Scourge.

If I use the same disguise method in the solar system, can I escape the pursuit?

Impossible!

Li Qingsong was almost certain that when this intelligent mechanical disaster arrived in the solar system and conducted some inspections, it might take some time if they were lucky to eliminate the disguises of the other fleets before coming to the Altair Galaxy. If they were unlucky, they would not even waste time and would come directly to the Altair Galaxy to capture him!

And... don't forget, at this moment, the distance between you and the solar system is 16.8 light years, and the communication delay is also as high as 16.8 years.

The information I received from the clone at this moment was sent 16.8 years ago!

According to the current deceleration rate of the Intelligent Scourge Fleet, they should have arrived in the solar system by now. Maybe they have already completed the relevant tests and are rushing towards the Altair Galaxy!

With their acceleration of 0.8 meters per second squared and a maximum speed of 74% of the speed of light, it would only take them 35 years at most to cross this long distance that took them hundreds of years to cross!

Li Qingsong's heart was filled with coldness.

Many of their own large scientific facilities had only just been built not long ago, and this state of undivided attention and all-out devotion to the development of science and technology had only lasted for a short two years. They had not even had time to produce even a major technological breakthrough, but they had to stop?

What else could he do if he didn't stop? At this moment, besides setting sail and escaping immediately, what else could he do?

Fortunately, after arriving at the Altair Galaxy, I first went all out to repair the fleet and replenish the supplies needed for the voyage, so I was able to escape immediately. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to leave even if I wanted to.

only……

Do I really want to escape in such a hurry?

Li Qingsong thought rapidly.

The Omnic Scourge has already chased me to the solar system, and there is a high probability that it will come to the Altair system in the future. Even if I flee to the next galaxy, there is still a high probability that the Omnic Scourge will chase me.

Moreover, the speed of the Omnic Scourge was more than ten times faster than his own. Even if he tried his best to escape, and did nothing after arriving at each star system, and immediately fled to the next supply point after replenishing his supplies, there was a high probability that it would get closer and closer, and eventually capture him.

All of my future life will be wasted on the escape.

After all, there is no way to develop technology while on the run.

His hasty escape only slowed down the speed of his hanging a little, but he still could not escape death in the end.

So……

We can't just run away in such a hurry.
