"After all, the technology of the Carters is very backward, and the Empire has been able to produce this kind of fusion spacecraft before, but they did not choose this warship design, but adopted another design with low speed but strong defense."

This kind of nuclear energy spaceship of the Carters relies on uncontrollable nuclear fusion as the power source of the spacecraft, and there is no big problem for the empire to make it, and the Seren people who can think of it can naturally also think that a civilization cannot all be fools, but the empire still did not choose this kind in the end.

"Why? It can accelerate to one-tenth the speed of light. The other collector was puzzled.

"But a battleship is not as good as a spaceship, a battleship is a high-kill weapon that acts on the battlefield, and the speed is one thing, can it be faster than the light? Coupled with the difficulty of steering due to the inertial frame, it is easy for high-speed ships to have an increased hit rate, which also leads to the need for the ship to have a certain degree of structural resistance rather than speed. ”

After thinking about it, the other gatherer agreed with the idea.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the antimatter shield we developed, we wouldn't have dared to increase our movement speed to a very high level."

"If you fight across stars, it is estimated that you will be able to carry out light-year operations in the form of small organisms."

Suddenly, one of the gatherers remembered something, and it delivered a message.

"Speaking of light-years, I remember the Carters reporting to us that there were two small fleets heading out of their home star at a tenth of the speed of light."

The other gatherer was also aware of this, and when he heard his fellow clan mention it, he also expressed his thoughts.

"It's surprising that the Carters had foreseen the space battle not long ago so early."

"Carter isn't stupid, much smarter than us, just too young." The clan replied.

"But there are many who have their own hearts, such as those who are faithful to our whistleblowers......"

On Sori's side, on the home planet of the Carters, there is a huge structure that stretches from the ground into outer space, which is the amoeba of the gimbal creature.

The Caters did not show concern about the existence of the PTZ creatures, because the establishment of the PTZ creatures was precisely to save the Caters, and according to their agreement with the amoeba, after the Caters were all cured, the PTZ creatures would put away the rhizomes and leave on their own, leaving Sori to the Carters, who would have full autonomy for Sori.

Of course, it is limited to Sori, and all other stars except Sori are owned by Amoeba.

At the junction between the rhizome of the Yuntai creature and the surface of Sori, a dirty, sloppy-looking homeless man was taken hostage by several soldiers and brought here.

Then, after a deep bow to the junction, several soldiers quickly turned around and walked away as if fleeing.

The homeless man was very calm, and sat down as if he had returned home, and looked around, and the junction was surrounded by a high wall, forming a cylindrical shape, as if under some deep well.

Suddenly, the homeless man heard a voice in his ears.

"You're Carter's commander-in-chief, Myron?"

"That's in the past, and now I'm just an ordinary poor bum." Myron smiled and waved her hand.

The gatherer doesn't want to go around in circles, it goes straight to the point.

"And Merron, the vagabond, can you tell us which star is the destination of the two small fleets that you fled at your behest?"

"I don't know."

Myron replied crisply.

"Tell us, it's for your good." The collector reminded.

It wasn't malicious, as the way the gatherer showed malice wasn't like that, but Myron was clearly mistaken, and he turned his gaze to the junction and asked.

"You want to threaten me with the Carters on Nasori?"

"No, we don't think like that, it's really well-intentioned."

Again, the gatherer emphasized, stating his thoughts.

Myron felt a little strange, but he was relieved to think that he was talking to an alien creature, but he still insisted on his answer, in view of the friendliness of the other party, he did not extort a confession from words and deeds as soon as he came up, and Myron also explained in detail.

"I really don't know, when I made the plan, I thought that you would get the coordinates of the destination from me, and I also thought that it was impossible to conceal it in torture or some kind of high-tech interrogation method that you can read memories, so the destination of the fleeing fleet was chosen by the fugitives themselves, and I just gave them the opportunity to escape."

"Really? That's a shame we can't help you. ”

After hearing this, the collector expressed regret, but after a brief communication, Myron, who had a preliminary understanding of the alien creatures in front of him, was puzzled, he could understand that the alien he was facing was really saying that he couldn't help - so the question was, what help?

Myron had some bad premonitions, and he hurriedly asked.

"Wait, help us? What do you mean? ”

The gatherer didn't intend to hide it, after all, it was just something that all Carters would know about in the future.

"Then let us tell you something, the star that is five light years away from you is not the mother star of our amoeba, we colonized and expanded there."

"Our amoeba civilization starts from the starting star system, and every time we arrive at a star system, we will demolish the planets in that star system to build star orbits and antimatter giants, and after completing the construction, we will continue to colonize the surrounding star systems, and so on."

"The colony can travel at ninety percent of the speed of light through star orbits, and it only takes a few years to cover a distance of several light years, but the two small fleets you escaped from only reached one-tenth of the speed of light, and the acceleration is very small, whether it is to accelerate or decelerate, it takes a lot of time, which also increases the time to travel across stars.

"Our amoeba colony can easily catch up and overtake them, reach the destination of the two fugitive fleets early, and dismantle all the planets in that star system, even if we don't know their destination."

At this point, Myron's expression became rather ugly, and it was no longer as easy as before, as every star system like Amoeba was colonizing and had a much higher speed than the Carter spacecraft, and it was almost inevitable that Amoeba would meet the two fleets on the run.

The gatherer's explanation continues.

"We know that you are on a long voyage to continue civilization, and in order to get rid of our pursuit of you, you must choose a star that can sail the farthest and resource-rich as the destination, make material supplies after arriving at the destination, and then continue to flee, but unfortunately, when the two fugitive fleets arrive at their destination, they will not see those planets with abundant resources, but us."

"The payload limits the material reserves of the two fugitive fleets, and the material resources required for interstellar voyages, they must enter a stellar system for replenishment, unless they are lucky enough to come into contact with a resource-rich wandering planet wandering among the stellar systems."

"However, even so, without knowing our level of technology, we will eventually enter a star system and make contact with us, which is inevitable, and our speed is far higher than yours."

In the second half of the gatherer, it is actually meaningless to say it or not, just to say what Myron has in his heart, and after Myron learned about the sub-light speed of the amoeba and the colonization behavior, he has already thought of this result first.

"Your plan did not save those who escaped, but only gave them a little hope and a greater despair." The Gatherer said.

Myron opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again.

After pondering for a while, Myron asked.

"You ...... If so, what would you do with them? ”

"I don't know about this, different situations are handled differently, and different ways of dealing with things in different clusters are also different, but one thing is certain, that is, they will not be allowed to die, even if they themselves want to die." The Gatherer said.

"Then why did you say those things to me?"

Myron still couldn't understand what the gatherer meant by 'not being able to help'. Since there is no danger to life, what is there to be afraid of?

"Because life may be worse than death." The Gatherer said.
