Tens of thousands of objects shuttle between the stars, with the human naked eye, without the help of optical equipment, it is difficult to see the true face of these objects, in the universe, stars are like lighthouses in the dark ocean, it can illuminate the surroundings, but not everything, for objects on a distant scale, their light is too cold.

In this large number of groups, there is one individual who is different from the group, and the objects with multiple objects that look like pot lids point their concave faces in front of the group.

"It's almost there, and there's a black hole in front of you, three minutes away."

"All wake up!" When such radio information is emanated from the object, the dead silence in the group melts like ice and snow, and the radio communication between individuals builds channels to connect with each other.

"Is it finally over? Our journey. ”

"Gee, I didn't even know one of my reactors was out of work."

"Where are we?"

"It's the position of the three points of light."

"I saw that black hole, the gravitational lensing effect was obvious, and the stars in the background were distorted."

"What a horrible body." From dead silence to hustle and bustle, tens of thousands of sub-light creatures have been awakened from their long slumber.

"We've been gone for twenty years, haven't we?"

"It's about the same as it takes twenty years to travel a distance of five light-years across a star at a quarter of the speed of light."

"Well, we could have ...... at a higher speed"

"No way, who makes the high-power feedback signal can't be used on the black hole, the black hole will swallow the signal, and if we use sub-light speed to go to the black hole, we don't even know when we should slow down." To solve the problem of black holes, the collectors assigned a cluster of tens of thousands of sub-light-speed creatures to the wandering black hole, which was on the course and difficult to observe.

Their mission is to breed several signal organisms in the orbit of the black hole, which will broadcast high-power radio signals by absorbing the radiation emitted by the black hole.

In this way, collectors of other star systems can easily capture the position of the black hole, and then plan a sub-light route that can not be affected by the black hole according to its trajectory.

The most important thing is to be able to accurately monitor the movement of the black hole at all times, if the black hole is pulled by the gravitational pull of the star, causing it to move closer to a star system, the collector can also react and take action in time.

"Is this a black hole? The first actual observation is terrifying...... "This is the first time that collectors have observed black holes up close, and in the past, they were able to understand the appearance of black holes through models established by mathematical calculations or long-range observations at light-year scale distances.

The shock of this kind of personal close-up observation is incomparably strong, a body about the size of the earth, pitch black and deep, that is the darkest place in the universe, but also the deepest abyss in the world, if you fall into it, you will no longer have a chance to come out, it can be directly equated with death.

It is impossible to define the edge of this body exactly, because there is a circle of water waves that wraps around it, that is, the gravitational lens of the black hole, and space-time has chosen to succumb to the strong gravitational force, showing a distorted form.

This is the most extreme gambling body in the universe.

"Luckily, this thing isn't a living entity like Twilight, otherwise the race would be in danger." There are gatherers in the group who are glad about this, but there are also gatherers who are puzzled.

"Why? If this kind of body can have consciousness, we can make it not harm us, shouldn't the danger be reduced? ”

"Have you ever wondered why a black hole would listen to us if it is conscious? We have no value to it, whether it is destroyed or not is purely based on the preference of that living being, and it is so terrifying, even if it has no malice, but simply exists near the race, it is disastrous for the race. ”

"I see." The collector who asked responded knowingly, the gravitational pull of the black hole is too strong, far more terrifying than the star, if you get close to a certain star system, you don't need to enter, you can force a bunch of planets in the star system to arrange in a straight line, the so-called seven-star alignment, nine-star alignment is like this.

And the effects of black holes are not limited to these aspects. However, there are also gatherers who have other ideas.

"Wrong, if the black hole is conscious, then the security of the race should increase, even if it has malicious intentions towards the race, it is not a big problem for the race."

"Why?"

"Because the speed of light cannot be exceeded, the shrinkage effect stretches the time of the black hole itself, just like we travel at sub-light speed, time will pass very slowly, and from the perspective of the black hole itself, the speed of action will be very fast, close to the speed of light, and when it expresses malice, the group will have plenty of time to escape."

"But if the black hole consciousness expresses goodwill, with the help of its subjective consciousness, the race will be safer." The objecting collector explains the reasons for his objection.

"But black holes have their own effects, even if they have no ill will towards the race."

"So as long as you keep your distance, you can ignore this, since it is goodwill, then you should keep your distance from the community, not keeping your distance is malice, and the tribe can also escape." The previous proponents of the threat theory were silent for a while, and then agreed with the opponents.

“…… It seems like so. The collectors traveled in this way, and soon they had reached a distance of two light minutes, only one light minute from the black hole, and they could clearly feel the surging gravitational pull from the black hole, and they could also see the accretion disk and jet flow rotating around the black hole.

"Attention everyone! Deflect the course and deflect 75 degrees to the right! ”

"Are you going to slow down?"

"No, it's acceleration." The gravitational pull of a black hole is very terrifying, the closer you get to the black hole, the higher the speed of the collectors, and the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and the increase in kinetic energy also means an increase in speed.

The collectors, who did not want to face the star rainbow effect, deflected their course and orbited around the black hole, relying on the centrifugal force formed by the high-speed revolution to counter the gravitational pull from the black hole.

Tens of thousands of sub-lightspeed creatures are divided into groups and begin to combine to breed large megastructures, which is their task, and the population needs to broadcast the location of the black hole in real time to improve safety.

However, in the process of carrying out this mission, there were some surprises.

"I caught a regular signal, it's the direction of the black hole!"

"It can't be so accurate, right?! I used to be glad that black holes are non-conscious objects, but now this is the case! ”

"Don't be nervous, there's a terrestrial planet in the black hole, and the signal should come from there."
