Normally, over 90 % of the total energy of a Type II supernova explosion is carried away by neutrinos.

The remaining energy is then distributed to the kinetic energy of the remnants, visible light, and radiation across various wavelengths.

But even this small fraction of energy is still enough to provide light that outshines an entire Milky Way, and violent radiation that sweeps through several light-years of surrounding space, destroying everything, tangible or intangible.

According to the normal supernova explosion model, Tom, combining it with the performance of his neutrino telescope, estimated that the number of neutrinos he should have captured would be over 1000 times the number currently captured.

However, the neutrinos observed now are only one-thousandth of that amount.

This is already a difference in magnitude, and it can no longer be explained by probability.

From this, Tom discovered a total of three anomalies.

First, repeated occurrences at the same coordinates.

Second, no optical counterpart.

Third, too few neutrinos.

This seems to imply that… in these two supernova explosions, the energy release was concentrated in invisible light radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, as well as the kinetic energy of the stellar remnants?

Visible light and neutrinos are, comparatively, the least destructive forms of energy release in a supernova explosion.

If the energy release is concentrated in high-energy photon radiation and heavy atomic nucleus radiation…

How many times would its destructive power increase?

Just thinking about it, Tom felt terrified.

It's likely that even if a Sun were placed tens of trillions of kilometers away from the supernova explosion point, the entire Sun would be directly blown apart by this violent radiation, turning into dust and disappearing into the universe!

This probably can no longer be called a supernova explosion, but rather a supernova explosion lethality plus pro version, right?

"Fortunately, it's over ten thousand light-years away from me, so it won't affect me."

Tom secretly rejoiced, "If it happened near me, even if it were a hundred light-years away, my fleet would be directly turned to ashes by this radiation, and all clones would die."

Faced with such a peculiar phenomenon, Tom once again intensified his research.

But Tom researched for a full decade, yet still found nothing.

This was a bit of a headache.

Scientists like to find errors in their own theories, but that's on the premise of being able to propose a more complete theory.

It's like a student getting a problem wrong; if you point out my mistake and I can find the correct answer based on that, then that's good, of course.

But if you point out the mistake, don't give me the correct answer, and I can't find it myself through research, then I'm in a bind.

Tom was currently in this state.

It was under these circumstances that a Bluetoth scientist proposed a possibility.

He said to one of Tom's clones with a tone of awe and fear, "Perhaps our previous research direction was wrong.

This, this might not be a natural phenomenon, but rather… some kind of super-civilization's weapon."

Weapon?

Tom scoffed.

Using a supernova explosion as a weapon? How could that be?

But the next moment, Tom froze, his mind feeling as if a furious storm had erupted.

Weapon? Weapon?!

Think about it, why could two supernova explosions occur at the same coordinate point with such a short time interval?

Does this mean it was a controlled explosion?

Think again, why is it that the least destructive neutrinos and visible light carry less energy? Why is the primary energy release concentrated in the more destructive light radiation and heavy nuclear radiation?

This, this clearly indicates a deliberate modulation of the supernova explosion's energy release mode, a conscious concentration of energy release into more lethal types to enhance its destructive power!

If it's a weapon, then, is the exploding object really a star?

Is it possible that it is actually some kind of large device, such as a super-civilization's large warship, which, through technology so advanced that he cannot imagine, simulates the mode of a supernova explosion, using this type of explosion as its attack method?

In that case, everything would make sense.

A cold sweat broke out on Tom's forehead.

What kind of enemy could withstand an attack of such power?

Even if his own strength increased a hundredfold, a thousandfold, there would be no possibility of stopping it.

Is it possible that in this universe, in this Milky Way, such powerful civilizations truly exist?

Are two super-civilizations, advanced beyond his imagination, currently warring over ten thousand light-years away from him?

Using supernova explosions as weapons, how vast and how tragic would such a battlefield be…

Looking at the vast starry sky, at the countless twinkling stars, Tom felt smaller than ever before.

Observation of that coordinate point was still ongoing, but Tom no longer held hope of deciphering any new physics; currently, he only hoped to collect more information, so that if he encountered such an existence in the future, he could hide early.

What else could he do besides hide?

Run away?

The affected range of a supernova explosion is often several light-years; how could he possibly escape?

As for whether he could survive after hiding, that would be entirely up to luck.

The massive fleet continued its advance, and observation of the cosmic starry sky never ceased for a moment.

It was during the continuous sky surveys by numerous array telescopes that Tom once again found a relatively peculiar celestial body.

To differentiate between different celestial scales, Tom had now stipulated that large multi-star aggregates like the Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, and Triangulum Galaxy be collectively referred to as "galaxies", while star-level entities like the solar system and Altair System be called "star systems".

What Tom observed at this moment was a massive galaxy.

Through redshift calculations, Tom confirmed that its distance from the Milky Way was approximately 500 million light-years.

This meant that what he was receiving at this moment was actually the light emitted by this galaxy 500 million years ago.

This galaxy was also a spiral galaxy, but relatively flat. What piqued Tom's interest was that the stars within this galaxy seemed to be moving relatively fast, and at the same time, the proportions of red giants, blue giants, and various dwarf stars were somewhat abnormal.

This seemed inconsistent with Tom's existing galaxy evolution theory.

Also following the principle that "error means progress," Tom decisively mobilized more observational resources to conduct further observations of this distant galaxy.

An array composed of thousands of giant optical telescopes, after half a year of exposure, finally collected enough data about this galaxy.

After data processing, an ultra-high-resolution real-view image of the galaxy was displayed on a large screen in front of the clone where Tom's consciousness resided.

At this moment, Tom's mind and consciousness were almost shaken by it.

Countless stellar lights flowed, combined with various gases and dust, making the galaxy as a whole look like a magical eye, extremely dazzling and beautiful.

"So beautiful…"

Tom murmured, "It looks so much like an eye… Let's name you the Evil Eye Galaxy."
