Stardust Left Behind: Echoes of a Red Dwarf

In the era of human colonization of the stars, astronaut Lin Ye was stationed alone at the "Watchman 7" space station that has been in service for more than 50 years, responsible for monitoring the activities of the red dwarf star "Charon-4". In an accident, he captured an abnormal signal from Omega-7 that he had never seen before. At the same time, he discovered that the communication link was interrupted, the external hatch was opened by an unknown force, and a strange-looking "alien spacecraft" (actually an alien "seed carrier") appeared near the space station. Along with the alien "seeds" came the fragments and incomplete images of the "Explorer 3" probe that disappeared ten years ago. The images revealed the truth of the Ω signal - the red dwarf star "Charon-4" will erupt with a super flare within 72 hours, enough to destroy all life within ten light-years, and there is only a buffer time of 31 years for the human home planet and colonial planets. While trying to decipher the true purpose of the alien "seed" (whether it is a threat or a help), Lin Ye also needs to use the old backup communicator to try to transmit warning signals through the gravitational lens effect of red dwarf stars under the dual pressure of aging space station equipment and the approaching flare crisis. A countdown related to the survival of human civilization begins in the lonely interstellar space.
