"Slow down!"

With the command of the leader of the cluster, the antimatter shield directly in front of the leaping creatures lit up with a dazzling light, and the reverse advance caused the overall speed of the leaping creatures to begin to decrease, the star rainbow phenomenon gradually weakened, and the sky full of stars gradually broke away from the ring of the star rainbow and returned to the original correct position.

Within the vision of the gatherers is their destination, the source of the distress signal, the star system that gave birth to the Kerx civilization.

"All turn, 37 degrees 84!"

Glancing at the destination ahead, the leader of the cluster gave the cluster new instructions.

The Leap Cluster as a whole begins to deflect its course and begins to approach the star system at an oblique angle.

"Our goal is to get to know that zerg before they know us, so the cluster can't rush into the star system, which is equivalent to us exposing the information to the other party in advance."

Again, the cluster leader speaks in the channel, lest an individual overlook this point, and if the other party is allowed to know the gatherer in turn, the group will be passive.

However, it is impossible not to let information leak, as long as a thing exists, it will release information from the outside all the time, and after taking action, more information will be released.

Individuals in the cluster have determined that the whereabouts of their cluster have been known to all sapient beings in the destination star system.

"The strong gamma radiation caused by our slowdown should have been noticed by the other party."

When a sub-light voyage is slowed down, because it is decelerated by positive and antimatter annihilation, a large amount of gamma rays is released, so that there is an extra star in the cosmic background, which can be observed by looking at the night sky with the naked eye without the help of an instrument.

Unless the intelligent species in the star system, the Quex and the Zerg, are blind, it is impossible not to notice the inexplicable extra bunch of stars in the sky.

"But we haven't been in contact with each other yet, they still don't know anything about us, and we do the same with them."

Regarding the fact that the existence is known, the leader of the cluster knows that this unconcealable deceleration will expose the existence of the cluster to the vision of the Quex and the Zerg.

But that doesn't mean anything, so what's the point of knowing that it exists? At such a long distance, it would take a long time for even sub-light shells to reach them, and even if the intelligent species in the star system have super long-range observation capabilities, it will take many days for the light from the cluster to reach the star system.

Unless the other party has the ability to obtain information faster than the speed of light, they will know nothing except the phenomenon of increasing the number of 'stars' caused by the slowdown of the gathering group.

It may not even be thought of in terms of the space power of other extraterrestrial civilizations.

"Arrange an individual as a spy unit, disguised as a wandering meteorite, go to the star system to obtain the intelligence of the zerg, and with the help of the gravitational deflection orbit of the star, after leaving the star system, it will be able to meet the cluster of rotating stars, so as to complete the delivery of intelligence."

The leader of the cluster explained to his fellow families that once the cluster entered the star system and was observed by the other party, it meant that more information about the cluster was obtained by the other party, which was obviously not in line with the purpose of the collectors' trip.

"But if it is captured, it also means that the information of the ethnic group will be exposed to the other party."

Some individuals have expressed concern that the Zerg's ability to move across stars has been determined based on the distress messages of the Kerks, so the collectors have benchmarked it to the same level of technology as their own.

If the spy is captured and the other party has the technology to linguize the genes, it is possible to gain a sufficient understanding of the ethnic group by obtaining the genetic memories of the spy individual.

The consequences of this would undoubtedly be more serious than exposing the Leap Biocluster.

In response to this problem, some individuals within the Yuejin Biological Cluster quickly thought of a solution.

"You can commit suicide without leaving even a corpse, arrange a one-cube decimeter antimatter reactor for the spy individual, and start it immediately once captured, strong gamma rays will kill the spy individual, and it has its own genetic destruction effect, even if there are still corpses left, the other party will not get anything."

"Good idea."

The cluster leader agreed.

A hundred cubic meters of spherical object was constructed from each of the leaping creatures, a wandering meteorite disguised by the gatherers, with a large amount of solid helium and an antimatter reactor inside.

A large-caliber electromagnetic cannon evolved from the side of a leaping creature, and a camouflaged wandering meteorite was successfully dislodged.

"Are you ready?"

Interrogated by a leaping creature as a transmitter.

"Ready."

"The voyage time is two years, precautions are a priority, don't expose yourself." Let's search for books

The leaping creature instructed the spy to disguise itself as a small meteorite, skim the star in periorbit at high speed, deflect it by the star's gravity, and then fly out of the star system to join the cluster.

In the process, the spy will obtain all the information about the Zerg and the Kers inside the star system, such as their space power, such as the strength of their space industry.

"Understood."

"Let's go!"

With the launch command of the leaping creature, the bioelectric signal transmitted from the solid-state brain prompts the internal antimatter reactor to enhance the release of heat energy, the heat-sensing cells accelerate their metabolism and convert the heat energy into electricity, and the resistance value is enhanced to complete the boost, and under the impetus of the strong voltage, the wandering meteorite catapults out and heads in the direction of the star.

Some time after being ejected, the meteorite in the Gatherer's camouflage passed through the outer Kuiper Belt and continued to approach the star.

"Use high-power radar first...... No, it can't be used, and if you use it, you will be discovered. ”

The spy subconsciously wanted to use the high-power radar, but it immediately stopped, because releasing the radio outward was like shouting outward, as long as the Kers and Zerg in the star system had radio reception technology, they would definitely notice that there was something wrong with the meteorite.

There is only one way for a spy to obtain information, and that is to observe the environment within the star system with the help of electromagnetic waves naturally emitted by the star.

Spy instances repeatedly switch between electromagnetic wave reception angles, sometimes in the ultraviolet band, sometimes in the infrared band, and sometimes in the visible light band.

"The star system of the four planets, and there is no space building ......"

"One gaseous planet, three solid planets, and it's uncertain whether there are planets on the back side of the star."

The collectors sketched a rough model of the star system through the data summarized by various band observations, but it was puzzled that the entire star system was not full of space units, as it had expected, which was obviously somewhat unreasonable as a civilization stepping into the universe.

"Without enemies, doesn't that Zerg have space units?"

Forget about the Kerks, they already live in this star system, why don't the Zerg from other star systems have it? The gatherer does not understand.

After thinking about it to no avail, the spy turned his attention back to finding the planet where the Kerrs were.

"I remember the distress message of the Ox people saying that their rocking star was in the second orbit within the star system...... Is that the one? ”

"No, it's not, it's an icy planet, it's too far away from the star, so it seems that there should be a planet that is obscured by the star and I can't observe it."

According to the constructed stellar system model, the second planet is an icy planet, and even if it is not close, the gatherers do not feel that the harsh environment there will give birth to any decent civilization, and there is no sign of civilization activity anywhere.

As a result, the gatherer can only assume that there are planets that it has not observed.

The camouflaged meteorite swept past the star from its near orbit, and the solid helium inside was released, dragging a long trajectory that looked like a wandering meteorite flying from outside the star system from a distance.

When deflected by the gravitational pull of the star, the camouflage meteorite went to the other side of the star.

At the same time, this position is also an excellent viewing angle, as the sunny side of the planet is illuminated by the star, reflecting the star's light like a mirror.

The collectors were able to clearly observe a planet that had previously been obscured by the stars.

"There it is!"

"A planet covered in a large area of brown, and there are other colors in certain areas......"

"This should be the shaking star of the Ox people."

"The trajectory needs to be adjusted a little, otherwise nothing can be observed."

The angle at which the camouflage meteorite erupts helium has been slightly adjusted, allowing the camouflage meteorite to fly away from the star and move closer to the planet in its trajectory.

After camouflaging the meteorite approached the planet for some distance, it was observed that there were a large number of space units in the periorbit of the planet.

"Are those the fleets of the Zerg civilization?"

"The size of the units of the same appearance varies, and the estimated diameter is in the range of about 50 to 100 kilometers."

"There are other units out there, but they're too far away, and they're too small to get much information......"

“…… Should I get closer? ”
