Chapter 1686: Chapter 662: I No Longer Have a Home—Time Buries Everything

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed by.

The three-party Alliance Army’s siege and annihilation battle against the Mechanical Empire has begun.

This is the largest scale conflict ever seen in millions of years of human history.

To quickly stabilize the rear, the three parties of the Alliance Army have unleashed their strongest mobilization abilities and fired all their firepower from the start.

The scale of troop mobilization is also unprecedented in history.

In fact, the strategic preparation of the three-party Alliance Army has been going on for a long time. In past timelines of destruction cycles, the Alliance Army’s full-scale assault should have started within two years after the Red Blade Army arrived at the Hundred Clusters Star Domain.

In many normal historical lines of the past, the Hundred Clusters Star Domain and the Far Border Star Domain were originally pivotal jump points for the Alliance Army’s full-scale assault.

The subspace channel destroyed by Ren Zhong was originally a strategic transport channel hub.

In this cycle of destruction, the unexpected rise of Ren Zhong and the Red Blade Army disrupted the normal historical progression, delaying the total war for over two thousand years, but what was meant to happen will eventually happen.

Moreover, due to having more than two thousand years of additional preparation, even if the attack route has changed, the scale of troop mobilization by the three-party Alliance Army has not decreased but rather increased substantially.

The Alliance Army’s attack strategy has also changed, no longer proceeding in a steady and slow advance as in past cycles of destruction, but instead surging forward with extreme speed.

The reason is simple, the three parties of the Alliance Army know well that the Red Blade Army is unstable and could tear up the ceasefire treaty at any moment, so only by swiftly defeating the Mechanical Empire can they turn back and slowly deal with the Red Blade Army, ensuring that no unforeseen complications arise.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, the Red Blade Army in the Hundred Clusters Star Domain remains peaceful and harmonious, with everything as usual.

On this day, Ren Zhong sat together with the gray-haired Yang Misi and Xu Guangnian to discuss and exchange ideas.

He finally reached a conclusion.

The lifespans of the stars in the Ancient Disk Galaxy are indeed unusual.

This star system is unbelievably ancient.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of Source Star and numerous planets in the Hundred Clusters Star Domain, it can be determined that the Ancient Disk Galaxy truly possesses an unscientifically long history, at least exceeding a trillion years.

However, this clearly defies cosmic rules and is contradictory to the lifespans demonstrated by the stars in the galaxy. This contradiction puzzled Ren Zhong and the people of Red Blade Science Academy for a long time, until the Red Blade Engineering Institute spent decades manufacturing a powerful Constant Star Probe, successfully penetrating deep into a star within the Hundred Clusters Star Domain and extracting material samples from the star’s core, turning the situation around.

With ultra-high precision detection devices, Xu Guangnian’s team finally determined the true lifespan of these "young" stars, also reaching over a trillion years.

The principle of the probe seems simple, but manufacturing it to withstand the continuous extreme temperatures and pressures inside a star is immensely challenging. Previous human four races in the Ancient Disk Galaxy never succeeded.

In summary, one point of contradiction has been resolved.

The next focus is to resolve the conflict between the lifespans of stars and planets and that of the large central black hole in the Ancient Disk Galaxy.

This did not require much effort, as Ren Zhong proposed a theoretical conjecture.

According to traditional black hole lifespan theory, the mass and volume of a black hole are positively correlated with its lifespan. The longer the lifespan of the black hole, the greater the mass and volume naturally become. In the absence of precise analysis by extracting black hole material, calculating the black hole’s lifespan using a mathematical formula based on the above theory is the only feasible route. This is also why Xu Guangnian believes the lifespan of the central black hole of the Ancient Disk to be only 4.8 billion years, but this is clearly wrong.

The core viewpoint of Ren Zhong’s conjecture is that he believes the central black hole is abnormally losing mass, which is why it appears too "young."

As for the reason for the mass loss of the black hole, Ren Zhong does not yet know, but this theory is definitely correct.

Moreover, Ren Zhong can assert that the loss of mass by the black hole is necessarily related to the unusual lifespans of the stars.

Ren Zhong said to Yang Misi and Xu Guangnian, "There must be a cyclical phenomenon. When this phenomenon occurs, the central black hole of the Ancient Disk loses mass, which is converted into energy and emitted, scattered throughout the Ancient Disk Galaxy. Then, when it approaches stars, it is influenced by the strong gravitational fields of the stars, reconverts into a material state, gets captured by the stars, absorbed and covers the surface of the stars. The stars’ energy is replenished, their life cycles are reversed, and their lifespans are extended."

"As for the lifespans of planets, they actually follow similar principles to stars but differ somewhat. We have already detected that, aside from the anomalies on Source Star, other planets, asteroids, and space meteors share a common point. If we use conventional half-life theory to detect and estimate their lifespans, they generally fall within the range of 4-4.8 billion years. But if we increase the precision of monitoring methods to the fourth-level God’s Particle standard, we can immediately detect that the lifespan of the microscopic particles forming these celestial bodies exceeds a trillion years. Clearly, during the occurrence of the cyclical phenomenon, planets within the Ancient Disk Galaxy are similarly affected."
