The Empire's backend notification system had a lot of functions, but Duan Hengye only used a few of them frequently. It was only after hearing Yu Xinlan's words that he learned about the map function.
Just as Yu Xinlan finished speaking, Duan Hengye couldn't help but frown, then he quickly turned around and opened the navigation interface on the intranet. However, Duan Hengye didn't use many functions here, so Duan Hengye couldn't find where the map was.
At this moment, Duan Hengye's assistant, Ye Pu, helped Yu Xinlan over. Because she just woke up from her coma, Yu Xinlan couldn't walk steadily. Although it was only a few steps from the door to the desk, and she had to be supported by someone, by the time she stood in front of Duan Hengye's desk, her breathing was a little rapid.
Yu Xinlan glanced at Duan Hengye, then quickly asked, "Can I use your optical computer?"
"Of course." Duan Hengye said as he stood up from behind the desk. Because his movements were a little fast, the chair made a long screeching sound on the floor, which sounded very ear-piercing. Of course, no one in the room cared about this.
When Yu Xinlan came closer, Duan Hengye noticed that Yu Xinlan had lost a lot of weight after staying in the nutrition chamber for a long time. Her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and she looked extremely tired. She was a completely different person from before.
However, this was only a momentary feeling for Duan Hengye. After Yu Xinlan came over, she quickly began to input instructions on Duan Hengye's optical computer. Her fingers moved quickly, and while she was typing instructions on the keyboard, Yu Xinlan's lips were tightly pressed together. It was obvious that Yu Xinlan was very nervous at this moment. After seeing the General's expression, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
After all, Yu Xinlan wasn't an ordinary person. She had been in the military longer than Meng Jinhuai, and she had experienced countless wars and was used to bloody scenes. Although Yu Xinlan seemed very approachable and even silly sometimes, in reality, she was no less experienced than anyone else. For Yu Xinlan to show such a panicked expression, Meng Jinhuai must have encountered something serious.
Duan Hengye didn't dare to think too much about it, but he couldn't help but think about it.
Not only Duan Hengye, but his assistant, Ye Pu, who was standing next to him, also couldn't help but turn around and look at Duan Hengye deeply. There was doubt in his eyes, as well as a bit of panic.
In Duan Hengye's mind, his assistant had always been very professional and calm. He had known Yu Xinlan for more than ten years. Since he could show such an expression, it was obvious that Ye Pu had never seen Yu Xinlan like this before.
Seeing this, Duan Hengye's hands, which had been hanging by his side, couldn't help but clench into fists at this moment.
As a General, Yu Xinlan operated this interface very quickly. Obviously, she had seen this interface more than once. Just as Yu Xinlan was continuously entering commands on the keyboard, she finally remembered to explain the situation to Duan Hengye.
Yu Xinlan quickly looked at the interface changes on the screen and said to Duan Hengye, "The notification I received just now was very strange … I don't know if I'm overthinking it …"
After saying this, Yu Xinlan suddenly paused. Then she looked up at Duan Hengye and said, "This scene might not be man-made …" Yu Xinlan usually spoke very quickly, but when she said this sentence today, she looked at Duan Hengye and said it word by word.
"So it's natural causes?" Duan Hengye quickly followed up on Yu Xinlan's words.
To be honest, the so-called "natural causes" were completely blind in Duan Hengye's knowledge. Duan Hengye's field of research in his previous life had nothing to do with the interstellar and the universe. Now that he had transmigrated into this world, the development of science and technology had advanced for thousands of years.
To be able to live freely in the interstellar and complete rapid interstellar travel proved that people had a very deep understanding of the interstellar. They had long left Duan Hengye's previous life behind. Therefore, in his previous world, Duan Hengye didn't have much knowledge about the universe, let alone understand the mysteries of the interstellar domain in just two short years.
Yu Xinlan's words made Duan Hengye extremely frightened.
Duan Hengye had lived in the interstellar for two years. During this time, he had traveled through the universe on all kinds of vehicles countless times. Maybe it was because the current technology was too advanced, but Duan Hengye gradually lost the awe and fear of the universe as an earthling.
Until now, when Yu Xinlan said this to him, Duan Hengye finally realized that the universe was still the same universe, full of danger and the unknown.
In the past, the gentle appearance of the universe brought by technology had deceived Duan Hengye. Now, the real world behind the mask had finally revealed its fangs and brandished claws.
On Earth, there was a saying: "Man can conquer nature." As a scientist, Duan Hengye should have believed in this saying. But for some reason, when the image on Yu Xinlan's screen gradually became clearer, Duan Hengye kept denying this saying in his heart.
Maybe sometimes nature really was invincible. Thinking of this, he suddenly became pessimistic.
At this moment, Yu Xinlan's typing speed on the keyboard became faster and faster. In less than ten seconds, she reached out her hand and tapped heavily on the virtual keyboard. Then, she looked up at Duan Hengye and said, "It's done."
After entering the command, Yu Xinlan finally stood up straight again.
Duan Hengye saw a clear image appear on the screen. Then, as the image changed, he realized that the "map" Yu Xinlan mentioned was not a traditional contour map or a sand table simulation.
The time screen turned into a three-dimensional projection mode. What appeared in front of Duan Hengye was a miniature universe model. Duan Hengye saw a miniature galaxy flowing slowly under his hand. At first glance, this model was indeed dreamy and beautiful.
But Yu Xinlan's serious expression told Duan Hengye just how much danger was hidden under this beauty.
After seeing the galaxy appear, Yu Xinlan made a few gestures in the model. In just an instant, the galaxy image kept expanding and then approached the specific planet.
At this time, a small galaxy formed by five planets appeared in front of Duan Hengye.
Unlike the unfamiliar galaxy image just now, after seeing the five planets, Duan Hengye immediately realized that the model Yu Xinlan brought up was near the Provider Planet where he was now.
As the three-dimensional simulation image kept expanding, Duan Hengye saw countless small dots of light appearing between these planets. These should be the mecha teams of the Empire and the other five countries.
Just now, Duan Hengye saw on the simple mecha distribution map that most of the mecha were now concentrated in one area. There was only one lone dot of light flashing constantly on the other side of the screen. But when this map was opened, Duan Hengye discovered that the real mecha distribution map was different from the one he saw on the Yetian Empire mecha distribution map just now.
Because of the appearance of the mecha from the other countries, Duan Hengye saw that at least 40 mecha from the other countries were surrounding the lone mecha at the edge of the screen.
It was not that Meng Jinhuai had not been surrounded by mecha before, and 40 mecha was not a huge number to him. But after seeing the mecha distribution like this, Duan Hengye sensed that something was out of the ordinary — these mecha were really too close to Meng Jinhuai's mecha. It should be known that Meng Jinhuai's new mecha could deal damage to these mecha that were beyond their level. These mecha were so tightly surrounding the "Nan Wei" that not only did they not leave any room for escape, but they also could not attack the opponent. So … what was their purpose in doing this?
From the looks of it, it was just to trap Meng Jinhuai …
At this time, the map was still enlarging. In Duan Hangye's line of sight, there was only this lone mecha belonging to Meng Jinhuai, as well as the mechas from the other countries that surrounded it.
"Look here!" As Yu Xinlan spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the grey lines around his fingernails.
"What is this?" Duan Hengye had too little knowledge in this area. He had never seen this symbol appear on the map before.
"It's a stellar explosion." Yu Xinlan slowly spat out these few words.
After the woman let out a long breath, she said to Duan Hengye, "'Stellar explosion' is a cosmic phenomenon that cannot be predicted for now. Currently, there is no machine in the universe that can predict when it will happen, how strong it will be … and how long it will last. We only know that it is caused by the movement of an unknown star. When it happens, there will be all kinds of anomalies in the surrounding area. The intensity of a stellar explosion is different. We can only conclude after it has ended … "
"… These mecha are surrounding Meng Jinhuai with the purpose of trapping him." Duan Hengye said this sentence calmly. It was impossible to tell what he was feeling from his tone.
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Yu Xinlan nodded. She then shook her head and said to Duan Hengye, "Although we don't know what the intensity of this stellar explosion is for now. But … what they are doing is basically suicide … "
Yu Xinlan did not finish her sentence, but the three people present understood. Although this was a suicidal encirclement, if they could really trap Meng Jinhuai in the center of the storm, then it would be a profitable business for the enemy.
