There are many alien civilizations like the Behan civilization that have been affected by amoeba, and the Behan civilization is the luckiest among them, at least they have been in contact with the gatherers and once had a chance to keep their civilization alive.

More alien civilizations, but there is no such opportunity at all, after a supernova explosion, all traces will be washed away.

This is the reality, without the slightest bit of romance, people will die if they are killed, and civilization will become extinct when they are destroyed.

Leaving the faster-than-light clusters of the Behan civilization, they aimlessly traveled faster than light in one direction, and because of the rush of time, the gatherers only built a gravitational ring.

They share a large gravitational ring, which is used to build pipes and filters for the transfer of negative matter, thus achieving faster than the speed of light.

Because they share the same gravitational ring, the gatherers are basically in the same normal space-time and relatively stationary, so radio communication no longer needs to be as cumbersome as in the past swarm faster than light, and messenger creatures can be dispatched to the front of the swarm to transmit information to their peers.

Because it is only about sowing seeds, this cluster itself does not have many material resources, and it is scarce in all aspects.

It didn't take long for the collectors to emerge inside a star system, about thirty light-years from the home star system of the Behan civilization.

Gatherers quickly dispatched to mine the material within the star system, then build megastructures to ramp up production of metallic hydrogen, antimatter, solid helium, and more.

Over the course of about a month, the star suddenly dimmed and began to shrink dramatically, then rapidly expanded, accompanied by an extremely violent explosion, and the gathering swarm fled to other stars.

After about forty more runs, one of the individual gatherers finally got tired of it, and felt that this would not work, and that it had to find a solution to its current situation.

"We have to find a way, we're just too inefficient at the moment."

The time of being hit by the catastrophe is fast and slow, when it is fast, it is only a few days after arriving at the destination star system, it is hit by a supernova, and the slowest time is a month and a half before it is hit.

In such a time, it is simply unrealistic for gatherers to want to develop, there is still a lack of material resources, the cluster does not even have the standard antimatter, and the energy used is nuclear fusion.

It is not without thought that the gatherers will run into a starless nebula cluster, where they will collect nebula matter to develop and avoid the supernova strike of great destruction.

However, after trying, the collectors found that running into the star system was the safest.

There is not only one attack of great destruction, the specific attack principle, the collector has not yet figured it out, but in terms of actual effect, the collector will commit suicide immediately after suffering this unknown attack, which is also spread at the speed of light, but it is not limited to the speed of light, if the transmission speed of information between individuals reaches the speed of light, the diffusion speed of this unknown blow will also be faster than the speed of light, which is very weird.

Compared with the high-energy strike of a supernova explosion, which can be seen and touched, and it is easy to understand the principle, the latter blow is really too much for the collector to deal with, and the blow occurs without warning, if there is no individual suicide, the collector does not even know whether he has been hit, and the supernova strike can at least be avoided in advance by observing the changes of the star.

"What can be done? There can be no megastructures that are hard resistant to supernova explosions. "Temple Street

"And even if a supernova is really developed, other types of strikes will be lethal."

The other gatherers expressed their thoughts, and although they felt that the current way of obtaining material resources was too inefficient to compare with the past, they all felt that the current situation was optimal, after all, there was no giant creature that could withstand all the blows of great destruction.

"No, it doesn't need to be a giant structure that can withstand all the blows of the Great Destruction, I have an immature idea about resource production......

Since he took the initiative to explain the problem, the proposer naturally already had his own ideas, and the cluster leader motioned to the other party to explain.

"Tell me about it."

"The core of the superluminal speed is the gravitational ring, relying on the strong gravitational force of the gravitational ring to produce a sufficient amount of negative matter, and then realize the superluminal speed, based on this superluminal speed is very cheap, the energy required for each superluminal speed is almost equivalent to nothing, only need to accumulate enough negative matter, and the energy consumption is the construction of the gravitational ring."

Before the proposer explained his idea, he explained the principle of their superluminal speed.

The explanation of the principle is not nonsense, but because what the proposer wants to say next has a direct relationship with these.

"My idea is, why not put a gravitational ring on all the giant creatures, so that all the giant creatures can achieve faster than the speed of light?" These giant creatures form clusters that can be exploited as soon as they reach their destination, and because they can travel faster than light, supernova explosions will no longer cause problems for our resource production. ”

"In addition to making the production of superstructures faster than light, we can also specially design a superstructure that stores matter, and when entering the star system, we will do our best to search for the material in the star system and put it into the superstructure of storing matter, and the material will be processed into material resources, which can be carried out in a faster-than-light state."

According to the proposer's idea, the cluster would become a moving colony, all the megastructures that a full-fledged stellar colony should have, and the stars would only be the resource points of the cluster, not the home of the gatherers.

At the end of the explanation, the proposer explains the idea of continuing to extend with his own ideas as the idea.

"We can even be a little more daring and build a stellar-scale gravitational ring, relying on this gravitational ring as the basis for faster-than-light, and have a space-time domain that can move faster than the speed of light, this kind of movable field that is not threatened by the strike, will be an excellent choice for the tribe to stay."

The idea was not bold, and it opened up the minds of other gatherers a lot.

As the proposer thought, if the construction of the megastructures was so time-consuming, why didn't they build a batch of megastructures that could speed faster than light?

"It's an interesting idea, and I think we can try it."

Some individuals have affirmed the idea of the proposer, and it seems that the faster-than-light state is very safe at present, at least the Great Destruction will not be able to find them, otherwise they will not be destroyed for some time after they arrive in the star system.

The cluster leader is much more sensible, and it analyzes the feasibility of the proposer's idea.

"The stellar gravitational ring requires too many resources and a long construction period, so it will definitely be too late, but in the case of faster-than-light megastructures, it is very feasible."
