Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 370 Supernova Explosion!
One "ship docking yard" after another appeared rapidly, with a total surface area of ​​billions of square kilometers.

Once the terrain was leveled, numerous manned and unmanned warships, as well as various small and medium-sized civilian spaceships, descended like raindrops and landed directly on the planet's surface.

Then huge "sunshades" began to appear.

Supported by a robust core material framework, each of these sunshades covers an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers and is hundreds of meters high. They are also covered with a thick layer of rock protection, which perfectly protects these spacecraft.

The next step is to deal with the large spaceship.

Their mass and size are so great that even dwarf planets with weak gravity cannot land on them directly.

This portion of the spaceships, including the large habitation ships, were gathered by Li Qingsong and all entered the orbits of several large planets, where they revolved around them.

After settling his spaceship, Li Qingsong entered a waiting phase.

A year has passed quietly, and the bright red star remains calm despite the distance of approximately 30 light-years.

Time passed year after year, but Li Qingsong remained patient and waited without any impatience.

He waited like this for 14 years. Until this moment, the neutrino telescope on the research vessel suddenly detected some high-energy neutrinos coming from the direction of the G76 galaxy.

Both the direction and the energy level are in line with expectations.

Neutrinos are markers of an impending supernova explosion. Because of their immense penetrating power, they can escape and propagate into surrounding space before the rest of the energy is released.

The detection of neutrinos as expected means that the supernova explosion will occur within 10 hours at most!
Li Qingsong's spirits lifted.

The supernova explosion that we created ourselves is finally coming!
At this moment, under Li Qingsong's command, all the large spaceships that were originally orbiting the planet began to converge towards the side of the planet facing away from the G76 system, then decelerated violently, fixing themselves on the back side and no longer moving.

In this way, these spaceships essentially used the massive planet in front of them as a shield, which they could use to withstand the subsequent violent supernova radiation impact.

Of course, this will also lead to a problem: once the orbital speed is lost, these spaceships will be affected by the planet's gravity and thus tend to fall.

However, this can be offset by its own propulsion, and it will not affect these giant spaceships in the short term.

After setting up his spaceships, Li Qingsong launched tens of thousands of telescopes of various types, such as visible light telescopes, gamma-ray telescopes, X-ray telescopes, and infrared telescopes, into space, all aimed at the G76 galaxy.

Since the goal is to conduct observations, obstruction is unacceptable. Consequently, these observation devices will inevitably suffer significant damage from the impact of the supernova's energy.

However, Li Qingsong believes that it is worthwhile to spend tens of thousands of large-scale scientific research equipment in order to collect as much detailed data as possible on supernova explosions.

In addition, other detectors, such as the neutrino telescope and the gravitational wave detector, have also all entered operational status.

Time passed slowly as Li Qingsong felt a slight sense of anticipation.

Six hours after the first batch of neutrinos were detected, all of Li Qingsong's detection equipment simultaneously saw that the star G76 suddenly brightened, its brightness increasing by billions of times in an instant!
At this moment, the entire galaxy where Li Qingsong was staying was illuminated.

Those dark, cold dwarf planets that are far from their stars and can only receive energy from a very small number of stars in their local system were completely illuminated on the side of the G76 system they faced at this moment, as bright as day, like the rising sun.

Despite being 30 light-years away, or about 280 trillion kilometers away, this place is still completely illuminated in the face of this exploding supernova!
Moreover, Li Qingsong also observed that solids such as water ice, dry ice, methane, and ethane, which had been frozen for billions of years, began to melt and sublimate under the irradiation of energy from 280 trillion kilometers away.

Even the Jovian planet, which is enormous in both size and mass, was violently impacted at this moment.

Endless high-energy radiation particles surged forth, like a grinding machine, imbuing the outer atmosphere of this giant gas planet with even greater energy, forcibly peeling them off the planet, and then pressing them backward to form a faint comet tail.

Under the influence of this radiant heat, the outer atmosphere of this gas giant planet was rapidly heated, which led to violent atmospheric movements. In an instant, a raging hurricane with a speed of several times the speed of sound swept across the entire planet.

Even its magnetic field was severely affected. Li Qingsong saw that the planet's poles were adorned with unprecedentedly large auroras, which lashed out like whips in the atmosphere.

Even the star that is the main star of this galaxy, its stellar activity became more intense than ever before the moment the violent energy from the supernova arrived. Flares, sunspots, prominences, and mass ejections occurred one after another, further exacerbating the chaos in this galaxy.

In a very short time, the intensity of background radiation in this galaxy increased to more than a thousand times its original level.

Fortunately, Li Qingsong had already hidden all the weaker spaceships on the planet beforehand, and covered their surfaces with thick protective layers. The larger spaceships in space, due to the reduced mass and size requiring protection, were able to enhance their own protective capabilities, allowing them to survive this calamity.

However, those telescopes that Li Qingsong had deliberately released and densely aimed at the G76 direction were not so lucky.

In the instant the energy of the supernova explosion arrives, more than 50% of the lenses are burned by the enormous energy impact, completely losing their ability to observe.

The remaining telescopes were also severely affected and are expected to be completely destroyed within a day.

But that's alright. Li Qingsong had already prepared more observation equipment in advance. If the equipment at the front was damaged, the equipment at the back would be replaced.

Such a valuable observation opportunity should not be missed.

Looking at the star system that had been almost turned upside down, Li Qingsong sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"This is a supernova explosion... Indeed, it's no wonder it's called the most violent astronomical event in the universe."

"If we hadn't found a star system to hide in beforehand, and were still in space, if this energy caught up with us, even if we were separated by tens of light-years, my fleet would have suffered heavy losses. It would be a miracle if even half of the ships survived."

If the impact of a supernova explosion is so enormous when separated by tens of light-years, then... what about the celestial bodies within the G76 galaxy?

Through continuous observation, Li Qingsong gradually saw the fate of those celestial bodies.

Whether it was the planets G76b and G76d that they had previously occupied, or the planets G76c and G76e that had previously been occupied by the Purple Moon civilization, whether they were rocky planets similar to Earth or gas giants similar to Jupiter, they all met the same fate at the moment of the supernova explosion.

The first thing imposed on them was a violent radiation that was trillions of times stronger than the radiation in the galaxy where Li Qingsong was currently located.

These high-energy particles can instantly strip away the atmosphere of planets similar to Earth. Even the planet's surface will be instantly scorched and vaporized, only to be stripped away again.

Even a mountain as high as Mount Everest cannot withstand the erosion of this violent energy for even a fraction of a second; it will disappear completely in an instant.

The entire rock layer of the planet will be completely stripped away.

But at this moment, the planet is only experiencing a negligible portion of the effects of a Type Ia supernova.

That's right. Although light radiation and high-energy particle radiation are already incredibly powerful, enough to illuminate the star system where Li Qingsong is currently located across trillions of kilometers, melt the water ice on dwarf planets, and stir up stellar activity, their total energy only accounts for about 1% of the total energy of a Type Ia supernova explosion.

In a Type Ia supernova explosion, 99% of the energy is released in another way.

Shockwave!
Before the explosion, the white dwarf had a mass of about 1.4 times that of the Sun, roughly equivalent to the total mass of 46 Earths.

If an explosion were to occur, it would be equivalent to the total mass of 46 Earths being completely shattered, leaving nothing behind.

These masses can even be accelerated to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometers per second, indiscriminately sweeping away everything tangible and intangible in the surrounding area.

What are mere planets compared to such a violent impact?
Whether it's a terrestrial planet or a Jovian planet, it will be completely destroyed by this shockwave.

Yes, completely destroyed, not a single thing will be left.

Even the red giant star, whose mass was several times that of the Sun and which constantly provided matter for the white dwarf, could not escape the fate of being completely destroyed.

It was so close to the white dwarf, and its size was enormous, that a significant portion of the energy from this supernova explosion was poured into it.

Thus, the outer atmosphere of this massive star was easily stripped away, just as a strong wind dispersed smoke.

Next comes its interior, which is under high temperature and pressure, consisting of hydrogen and helium layers.

Without external pressure, these layers began to expand violently, their density rapidly decreasing, becoming increasingly sparse. This sparseness, in turn, facilitated the stripping process of the supernova explosion.

It was like a huge bonfire that kept emitting smoke. No matter how much smoke it produced, it was all blown away by the strong wind. As the wind blew, the star was left with only a dense core in a degenerate state.

But even this dense core could not withstand such a violent energy impact. In the end, this massive star with a radius of 5000 million kilometers was completely destroyed by the supernova explosion.

And all of this took less than a day.

In just one day, a galaxy that had existed for billions of years completely vanished, turning into a nebula in space that was extremely hot, fast-moving, and extremely bright.

It took more than ten days for the nebula to gradually dim and eventually become invisible to the naked eye.

But the intense radiation continued. Li Qingsong hid for more than two months and continued to observe for more than two months before he finally survived the most violent phase of the supernova explosion.

"If the human civilization of that time existed in my current star system, even if its technological strength were doubled, it would not be able to withstand such a violent impact and would definitely be wiped out."

Looking at the data he had collected during this supernova explosion, Li Qingsong was filled with emotion.

The radiation was still intense at this stage, but it was much weaker than before and tolerable. So, from one dwarf planet after another, the ships protected by the thick "sunshades" took off again and converged on the main fleet.

"It's time to go and pick up Haimeran and the others."

The massive fleet set sail again, gradually leaving the star system.

"Nebulae, which are composed of white dwarfs and stellar matter, spread at a speed of only 3%-5% of the speed of light."

It will take more than 100 years to reach this star system. By then, the star system will have to endure another bombardment, and that bombardment will be much stronger than the one we're facing now. Who knows what will happen to this galaxy then.

But all of this has nothing to do with me anymore. I'm leaving, I'm leaving, it's time to go..."

With a slow acceleration, Li Qingsong's fleet once again reached a speed of 87% of the speed of light. After several decades, it slowly approached the star system where the Green Light Clan had previously been located, which was also where Haimeran and others were.

"Chief Luo Yan, Qing Lan, do you plan to stay in this star system or move to another place?"

Chief Luo Yan's words were transmitted to Li Qingsong's ears via electromagnetic waves: "It's fine to stay here, let's not move for now."

"it is good."

Li Qingsong nodded solemnly: "In that case, farewell. I wish you and your people all the best in the future."

If the Green Light Clan needs my help in the future, I will do anything, even die for it.

"It is our Green Light Clan's good fortune to have you as a friend. Farewell then, may the future be long and prosperous for you, and may you have a safe journey."

"Brother Qingsong..."

Qinglan's words were full of reluctance.

Li Qingsong smiled and said, "My current strength is still too weak. If you follow me, it will be too dangerous."

"When I am powerful enough in the future to even carry a white dwarf with me on my journey, I will definitely come to find you. At that time, your Green Light Clan will no longer need to worry about being threatened by other civilizations."

"Okay, Brother Qingsong, I'll be waiting for you. You must come, and please don't forget us."

Li Qingsong solemnly said, "Don't worry, this is my promise."

"Well then, goodbye, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The high-gravity spaceship carrying the entire Green Light Clan, along with a fleet led by another group of intelligent life forms, departed from the main fleet and began to decelerate as they faced the dim white dwarf star.

Once they arrive, the Green Light Clan will return to the white dwarf star, and the intelligent life fleet will then pick up Haimeran and the others.

The main fleet will continue to advance at a lower speed, waiting for the Hemeranian fleet to catch up.

In this way, Li Qingsong could escape to a greater distance in a shorter amount of time.

He hadn't forgotten that, besides the threat of supernova explosions, the greatest threat came from the Destroyer civilization.

If the Destroyer Civilization becomes enraged by the Red Star Alliance's escape and seeks to deal with itself, the culprit behind the supernova explosion, then things will be terrible.

I need to get at least a thousand light-years away as soon as possible to feel at ease.

As for the future fate of the Crimson Star Alliance... well, I've done everything I can, and whatever situation they face is beyond my control.

Time passed quietly. After continuing his uninterrupted scientific research and traveling at 70% of the speed of light for about 100 years, Li Qingsong finally received the signal that was destined to be there.

Heimerlan and the others have been successfully rescued. The return fleet is catching up at 87% of the speed of light.

Li Qingsong then began to accelerate the main fleet. When the main fleet's speed also reached 87% of the speed of light, it rejoined the returning fleet.

The two fleets merged back into one.

Inside the flagship's residential spaceship, Li Qingsong, controlling the "Head of State" clone, personally attended the welcoming ceremony for Haimeran and the others.

Amidst fluttering flags and resounding drums, over 90,000 intelligent beings, led by Haimo Blue, made their grand entrance to the cheers of countless people.

In front of the camera, Haimeran burst into tears.

The clone of the leader, dressed in a lightweight spacesuit, smiled broadly and stepped forward, firmly grasping Haimer Blue's hand.

"Your Majesty, I'm back."

"Welcome home, heroes of our human civilization."

This scene, captured by the camera, was seen by every race and every intelligent life form. At that moment, every eye that looked at Haimeran and the others was filled with respect.

Li Qingsong had already included the deeds of Haimeran and others in textbooks, teaching every child and encouraging them to learn from heroes like Haimeran. He also produced numerous documentaries and films to publicize the achievements of heroes like Haimeran.

At this moment, every intelligent life form knows that if it weren't for Haimeran and others risking their lives to cross dozens of light-years of starry sea to bring back reinforcements, human civilization would have been completely wiped out long ago.

Such achievements deserve no honor or recognition whatsoever!
Of course, Li Qingsong also did not forget those heroes who failed to reach the Green Light Clan star system with Haimeran and instead perished in the sea of ​​stars.

Whether they chose to self-destruct because they couldn't escape the pursuit of the Purple Moon Civilization, or they escaped the pursuit but failed to reach their destination for unknown reasons, they are all heroes.

The starry sky is too vast, and Li Qingsong still cannot confirm what happened to those who escaped the pursuit but ultimately failed to reach the target star system, what malfunctions their spaceships encountered, or where their remains drifted to.

Inside the No. 1 residential spaceship, which held the highest status and was the most central, Li Qingsong solemnly built cenotaphs for the approximately 900,000 heroes, and regularly held memorial services to express his condolences.

The honors and benefits that should have been awarded to them were transferred to their families.

After grand celebrations, commemorations, and sacrificial ceremonies, the chiefs and deputy chiefs of various races, including the various high-ranking members of the human race—of course, these high-ranking members were actually clones controlled by Li Qingsong—gathered once again in the human building.

Chief Vasilolo of the Weyl tribe stood up solemnly and raised the first item on the agenda for today's plenary meeting: "Your Excellency, I wish to resign from my position as chief of the Weyl tribe and allow Haimeran to assume the position."

Over the years, Heimerlan has not only made outstanding contributions to human civilization, but has also demonstrated extraordinary judgment and leadership. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority.

I believe that under Haimeran's leadership, our Weile people will develop even better and make greater contributions to human civilization.

We hope His Majesty will approve.

Giving Haimeran a higher position so he could realize his ambitions was a promise Li Qingsong had made long ago. But even without this promise, Vasilolo would have willingly given up the position.

Li Qingsong smiled and shook his head.

"No, the position of chieftain of the Weyl tribe is very suitable for you in my opinion."

Li Qingsong's words surprised all the attendees. Only Haimeran remained calm and smiled, as if she had expected it.

Li Qingsong continued, "Of course, Haimeran is no longer suitable for his current position; he needs a higher platform to showcase his talents."

I have decided that, effective today, Haimeran will be promoted to the position of Vice President of Human Civilization, overseeing the daily development, work, and life affairs of all races other than humans.

At that moment, all the attendees were stunned.

Deputy Head of State!
Oversees the daily development, work, and life affairs of all races except humans!
This means that from now on, Haimerlan's influence will not be limited to the Weyl tribe alone, but will give it leadership over all races!
He will become the direct leader of a total population of over 1100 billion people of all races!
It's likely that after a few more years of development, this number will climb to over 3000 billion. At that point, the population managed by Haimeran will be comparable to that of the once-powerful Havel civilization!

but……

Haimer Blue has already proven its leadership abilities.

With the leader around, there's no need to worry about him being too biased towards his own race.

So... with such a leader, our race will probably develop even better in the future.

wow——

A burst of enthusiastic applause immediately followed.

Haimeran stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Qingsong, saying, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. In my new position, I will certainly make greater contributions to our human civilization."

Li Qingsong smiled and nodded, offering his own applause.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Managing more than twenty races and over a hundred billion intelligent beings is no easy task. I don't know how much energy I've wasted over the years."

"Now that's great, finally there's a suitable person with enough prestige to help me take on this responsibility..."

As for betrayal, Li Qingsong wasn't worried at all.

With all basic industries, military, computing power, spaceships, and so on under its control, Haimerlan simply cannot be capable of betrayal.

His only way out is to honestly manage these intelligent beings and contribute to the development of human civilization.

Li Qingsong's massive fleet continues its journey at 87% of the speed of light. Ahead lies a long journey of over a thousand years.
