Chapter 599: Chapter 600 Springboard Before the Mission
About 310 light-light away from the starting star where Hogu is located, a large group of organisms travel at sublight speed, bursting with a trace of awn in front of them, which is the light energy released by the positive antimatter annihilation of interstellar particles after hitting the antimatter shield.
This makes them extremely conspicuous in the universe, but at the same time, extremely hidden.
They can't be seen from the side, because the speed is too fast, the frequency of light is compressed, and ordinary people can see a flash of light with their naked eyes, just like the flash of a camera, which is fleeting. People with more nervousness may not even notice anything passing by.
Only at their front and rear angles can their traces be faintly captured. The front position will see a conspicuous and bright blue shift, and the rear position will see a thin and blurred red shift.
"It's a deceleration feedback signal! All speed down!"
The leaders of the feedback signal cluster who received the destination star issued an order. They unified the steps and began to introduce a large number of hydrogen gas clusters in front of the antimatter shield, which was slowed down through the annihilation of a large amount of positive and antimatter.
Even if it is several astronomical units apart, the brightness of the light is no less than that of a star.
They crossed the Kuiper belt at one twentieth of the speed of light and entered the star system.
Then the cluster leaders began to assign their respective tasks.
"You go to this part of the gaseous planet and collect more hydrogen."
"Understand!"
"If you go to the solid planet, don't rush to land and survey the environment of the planet's surface."
"I understand!"
"Follow me for the rest. Let's go to the satellite and extract the resources there."
"Okay!"
It is divided into several small clusters and runs to different celestial bodies in the star system to try to extract the material resources of these celestial bodies.
A new round of stellar system colonization has begun. There are many 'small' bugs between the planets, which are like a long queue of ants.
In addition to the intense colonial construction, there is another thing that makes the collectors very careful.
The individual responsible for observing will point the signal straight to a star in the background of the universe, which is the destination they must go to in the future. Nowadays, this colonial star is just a springboard.
"We are only four light years away from the destination star of the rescue mission. When will we set out there and bring back the female Selin as the seed of civilization?"
The individual responsible for observation asked the cluster leader in the channel, and the other party answered.
"Don't worry, that star system is related to Hui civilization, and there may be some danger, not to mention the 57 light-year distance between the cluster stars. The antimatter consumption is very serious and needs to be supplemented."
Because of the Hui civilization, the risk that the cluster leaders considered was increased. In order to be fully prepared to adapt to changes, it set the destination of this voyage in the star system of four light-years from the neighboring mission.
If there is anything, they can also get the support of the ethnic group.
"Have you observed the radio signal released by the target star system?" The cluster leader asked.
"No."
The incomprehensible inquiry of the individual responsible for observation.
"What's the point of doing this?"
"If there is a habitable planet in that star system, and the Selin people as seeds spread branches and leaves on that habitable star and establish a new civilization, in such a long time, they should no longer be below the technical level of the empire."
"I'm afraid that this will add some difficulty to our task."
It took a long time for the collectors to navigate between stars.
If the seeds of the empire spread after arriving at the star system, it is likely to have reached the level of the first contact between the ethnic group and the empire.If so, the task of the collectors will increase, because the number of Selin people to be taken away will increase, and it will probably waste a lot of material resources to transport them back, and the other party may not cooperate with the collectors' tasks. If they refuse to go back, the collectors need to consider and use force to complete the task. Take them back by force.
It must be easy to kill them, but if they are brought back to the starting star intact, I'm afraid the difficulty will be raised several levels.
The individual responsible for observation said that this consideration is just unfounded, and there is no other reason, just because the probability is too small.
"You worry too much. The 'livable planet' we marked and the 'livable planet' marked by the Selin people are two concepts. They are so fragile that even planets with complex ecosystems do not mean 'habitable' for the Selene people, such as air, air pressure, planetary gravity, light, climate, seasons, etc. Factors will have an impact on the Selin people.
The Selin people are too fragile. Instead of considering the problem of spreading branches and leaves, it is better to consider the death of the female Selin in the seed when she was killed by a small meteorite. After all, the seeds are not like collectors. There is an antimatter shield that can resist interstellar erosion.
Thinking of these cluster leaders, I also feel that I think too much.
"You're right."
...
The construction took eight years, which is not very long in the universe. The planets have been dismantled, and the 'clouds' formed by antimatter giants have wrapped the stars, which has reduced the brightness of the stars by one percentage point.
"The star track begins to change coordinates!"
The ring giant began to change, extending from the near orbit of the star to the Kuiper belt, pointing directly to the star system that is four light-years away from them.
"Check the armed reserves!"
"Where's the black hole bomb? Is it all complete?"
Thousands of leap creatures answered, "Each leaping creature carries one! Fully armed!"
"What about anti-material reserves? Where's the ammunition?"
Thousands of leap creatures answered, "It's all ready!" Always be ready to go!"
"Very good! Let's go!"
With the order of the leader of the cluster, the star track began to operate according to the instructions, and the rings of giants are being charged, forming a strong electric field that can be used as a driving force for leaping into the biota.
"The charging begins..."
"The proofreading confirms that it is ready to be launched..."
After the collective warm-up of the ring-loaded giant structure, they began to do the last laser proofreading to ensure that the launch was error-free.
Lasers with frequency bands reaching the gamma-ray level can reduce the fluctuation of light to ensure that each ring is located in the same straight line.
"The countdown...3...2...1..."
"Launch!"
The giant began to accelerate thousands of leap creatures. Each leap creature can obviously feel a pull force and drag itself forward, which will continuously feel the reaction force, but this force is not enough to make their thinking go down. They can see how they have been accelerated to the sublight speed.
From their perspective, it is a wonderful picture.
Everything is reversing quickly and sweeping behind them, like a horse lantern near death, and as the reaction force is about to disappear, a bright and dazzling star rainbow vision appears in front of them.
This is the world at the sub-light speed.
