[Earth] Main laboratory.

In the holographic projection directly in front of it, various observation data are presented.

In the laboratory, all the researchers' faces were extremely solemn.

A sound of mechanical transmission came from behind.

Then there was a burst of rapid footsteps.

Fang Xu subconsciously turned his head to look.

When he saw the visitor, he showed a little surprise in his eyes.

"Yongchang!"

"You're here!"

Lu Yongchang nodded at him, without saying anything nonsense, and said directly: "How is the situation now?"

Fang Xu shook his head.

“It’s strange.”

"Ros 154 is still in the process of brightening."

"In these ten hours, its brightness has increased by 5 stars."

Lu Yongchang's expression changed slightly.

Anomaly.

Too abnormal.

According to past experience, as a UV-type star in the constellation of the Whale, Ross 154 will generally only increase by 3-4 stars when it shines greatly.

But now...

Whether it is the duration of the occurrence of the bright light or the intensity of the bright light, it is an extremely abnormal phenomenon.

"Is there a problem with the color ball layer?"

Lu Yongchang frowned and murmured to himself.

While speaking, he turned his gaze to the holographic projection directly in front of him.

Try to find out the reasons for its change from various data that are rapidly changing.

A look of hesitation flashed across Fang Xu's face.

After a long struggle, he reached out and gently pulled the corner of Lu Yongchang's clothes.

"Um?"

Lu Yongchang with a puzzled look with a look at the holographic projection, turned his head to look at Fang Xu beside him: "What's wrong?"

Fang Xu didn't say anything at the first time, but just gave a wink at Lu Yongchang.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Come with me."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Lu Yongchang's arm and walked towards the corner of the laboratory.

...

"What are you saying/saying there?"

In the corner of the main laboratory, Lu Yongchang looked at Fang Xu with a strange look.

Perhaps because Lu Yongchang spoke loudly, several scientific researchers gave them curious eyes.

Fang Xu's eyes showed a little anxiety, and he lowered his voice again: "Be gentle!"

Seeing Fang Xu's appearance, Lu Yongchang could only shrugged helplessly and deliberately lowered the sound of his speech.

"Tell me, what exactly is going to be so mysterious?"

The hesitation on Fang Xu's face became stronger and stronger.

"Yongchang, you said..."

"Is it possible that something happened on Ross 154?"

Lu Yongchang's expression suddenly became stunned.

He quickly reacted.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head with a serious expression.

“It is not yet confirmed.”

"Our understanding of the universe is too shallow. Perhaps, it may be that Ross 154 has only had an extremely rare ray of light."

Fang Xu's face was filled with sorrow.

"if……"

"I mean if something happened to Ross 154, do we have alternative destinations?"

The atmosphere became more and more serious.

"Why……"

Lu Yongchang sighed and slowly shook his head.

"At present, there is no more."

"The Proxima Centauri conducted explorations of all star systems within fifteen light years."

"According to their data, except for the solar system, only Ross 154 can barely be regarded as a stellar system suitable for human development."

"The others... are not very suitable for development for current humans."

Seeing the doubt in Fang Xu's eyes, Lu Yongchang explained softly.

"Some of the star systems, the main stars are too violent, and humans cannot survive at all."

"The other part... either does not have a solid-state planet suitable for habitable or lacks a gaseous planet that provides energy."

Speaking of this, he sighed again.

"Anyway, I hope it won't be the worst."

"Otherwise, we may need to be mentally prepared."

...

Fang Xu followed Lu Yongchang and returned to his seat with a heavy expression.

"Academician Fang, what does Professor Lu say?"

Around me, an academician asked Fang Xu.

Several scientific researchers cast anticipated eyes at him.

Looking at the eyes of everyone around, Fang Xu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"cough!"

Lu Yongchang's voice rang in the main laboratory through the amplification of the microphone.

"Everyone, I'll say a few words."

The attention of all scientific researchers was instantly attracted.

Fang Xu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't have the courage to say this kind of bad news that was related to the fate of mankind.

"Everyone."

Lu Yongchang glanced around everyone, looking extremely serious.

When he noticed the chief's abnormal expression, the hearts of all the researchers present sank.

The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly became heavier.

"The changes in Ross 154 are something we cannot explain."

"At present, we cannot rule out the possibility that it has been hit by a higher civilization."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of discussion suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

Everyone showed a look of surprise and doubt on their faces.

"Then, what should we do now?"

A faint question came: "Isn't it our future destination?"

Lu Yongchang shrugged: "I just said the worst case."

"I personally, I prefer that there are only some things happening inside it that we don't know."

"After all, unlike the sun, Ross 154 is an extremely young star."

A relaxed exhalation suddenly came from the surroundings.
