Spanning a large scale of seventeen light-years, a large number of subluminal organisms arrived at the star system they were developing and building at the beginning, and the biological radio observation radar in orbit of the planet could capture a large number of blue-shifted gamma ray sources from the background of the starry sky.

These are sublight-speed creatures using the annihilation of antimatter to slow down.

"Welcome to this star system."

"Everybody follows this route, and the orbit anchorage, and the berth order is in order."

At first, these collectors, who were in charge of the current star system, fulfilled their duties as directors of the star, and began to prepare for the anchoring and maintenance of many sub-light creatures.

After the sub-light creatures successfully reached anchorage near the star, tons of antimatter containers were unloaded and placed in a special storage container for the antimatter giant.

"Thank you, you have saved us a lot of time and costs, so that we don't have to waste time waiting for the antimatter hoarding to be completed."

The gatherers, led by Hatsu, expressed their gratitude.

"Are you going to set sail right away?"

"Almost, when the preparations for the orbit are complete, we will set sail for the new star system, where a new colony will be carved out for the race."

"Which star are you going to go to?"

This was supposed to be a question from the collector in charge of the star system, but it was asked by the sub-light-speed creatures in turn, and they were initially answered.

"A three-star system twenty light-years away from the current star."

"Twenty light years?!"

The sub-light creatures were all stunned, and then they were all shocked, they were already taking a great risk on the road to carry out this seventeen light-year voyage, and they actually planned to challenge twenty light-years at the beginning?!

At the same time, these sub-lightspeed creatures were puzzled, not quite able to understand their own people who were planning to go on a larger-span interstellar voyage, and they did not think that such a risk was necessary.

In amoeba, the death of the individual is indeed insignificant, but the loss of the group must be considered, each individual is the resource of the group, mental resources, material resources, information resources, etc., take the seventeen-light-year transportation voyage as an example, if the sub-light creatures encounter a change in the voyage and die collectively, then the amoeba will not only lose a group of sub-light creatures, but also the batch of antimatter being transported, as well as the proton lattice carried by the sub-light organisms, And then there are the individual gatherers with a wealth of knowledge of interstellar voyages.

"Why are you taking such risks? You know, the farther you travel at sub-light speeds, the more dangerous it becomes. ”

The sub-light-speed creatures felt the need to remind their fellow creatures not to let their recklessness kill them, it would not benefit the race.

Hearing the rumors, the reason for them was explained at the beginning.

"For the future of the race, long-distance interstellar voyage is an inevitable threshold to be crossed, and our goal is to bring this entire river system under the control of the race, if we can't even cross this small threshold, the lofty goal of the race is impossible to talk about."

"When we complete the interstellar voyage across the scale of 20 light years, we will consider continuing to increase the distance scale, 21, 22, 23 to the next 100 light years, 1,000 light years, and we are ready for that."

At the beginning, their interstellar voyage was the result of a combination of many reasons, and the rescue mission about the empire was one thing, but the main motivation was that they knew that the future of the race would inevitably develop in the direction of interstellar voyage on a farther scale.

It is precisely because of this that they will be so determined to leave the star system where they were originally stationed and come to the forefront of the colonization of the race.

Hearing their reasons at first, the sub-lightspeed creatures also fell into deep thought.

After a few quarters of an hour of deliberation, they understood the thoughts of the early gatherers, and because of this understanding, they dispelled the idea of persuading them to stay in this star system in peace.

"Since that's what you're going to do, what about us?"

The sub-light creatures, who were about to say something more, were suddenly interrupted by a radio message from outside the current star system, and the first gatherers were stunned, and the mood in the life field of the gatherers gradually changed.

"Received Again"

Hatsu muttered to himself, then asked the Kia Lightspeed creatures.

"What happened over there when you set out? Got any idea what to do? ”

"There's no way, after all, it's a black hole, and we can only pray that its trajectory won't be deflected by the gravitational pull of the surrounding stars." The sub-lightspeed creatures replied helplessly.

The black hole that the gatherers refer to is the wandering black hole that exists on the shipping route, and the existence of this black hole poses a great risk to the sub-light creatures in that area to go on long voyages.

Even if it is only a subtle gravitational deflection, which can be placed on a large scale at the level of light years, it will be outrageously wrong, and the sub-light creatures who fail to receive the signal of the destination star will plunge headlong into the vast universe, and the final result is nothing more than two kinds, one is to realize that something is wrong, but due to the shrinkage effect, when leaving the sub-light speed, the sub-light creatures will find that their positions may no longer be in the original river system, and the other is directly crashed into a star, which may be a planet, a satellite, a star, Even extreme celestial bodies such as pulsars and quasars, the antimatter shield cannot annihilate such a large mass of matter, and the amount is not enough.

And that's just a subtle gravitational deflection, but what about a high-intensity gravitational deflection?

"Can't you annihilate that thing with antimatter? Antimatter can reduce the mass of a black hole, and the more massive it is, the shorter the life of the black hole, and if we put enough antimatter, the black hole will die. ”

The existence of the black hole made Chu feel very worried, because it was very scary, and such a terrifying thing was so close to the race, which prompted it to think about how to destroy such a dangerous thing.

As long as the black hole is captured by the gravitational pull of any star, and the black hole falls in the direction of the star, it will be a devastating blow to the population.

Once a black hole conjuncts a star, it is bound to be another supernova explosion.

This kind of supernova explosion is not painful for the black hole, its gravitational pull is enough to ensure that it can resist the supernova explosion unscathed, but the amoeba is not like this, they are all ** mortals, and they can't resist the high-energy plasma thrown out quickly, or the energy given by the supernova explosion.

When the supernova explodes, the collectors will not give up the star system with the explosion point as the center and a radius of tens of light-years, and the sub-light speed route will also be seriously disturbed by these plasma nebulae.

"What you said is impossible to achieve, at first, the black hole does not lose its mass because of antimatter, on the contrary, it increases its mass because it gains antimatter."

Sublight-speed creatures rejected this idea at first.
