748 Metamorphosis

March 28, 2216, Aare.

"It's finally here!" Ye Fei looked at the magnificent Orion Nebula on the screen and sighed with emotion.

With a distance of more than 1,500 light years and a voyage of more than two months, he watched day by day as the nebula changed from a small point of light to a magnificent nebula that occupied most of the panoramic screen, and now it finally flew to the place.

Originally, the God of War should have arrived at its current location four days ago, but the distance of more than 1,500 light years was full of stars, and although the speed of the God of War was fast, it was impossible for it to fly in a straight line all the time, and the time for only four days of detour was very small.

"Chief, where are you flying now?" Jiang Xue asked.

Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know where to fly like you!" ”

No one from the Aquila is not familiar with the Orion Nebula, but everyone is familiar with the scene from the inside of the nebula, from the discovery of the wormhole by humans to the destruction of the star gate by the Atlanteans in the seven years, human beings have never flown out of the nebula, from the outside to see the appearance of the Orion Nebula, so Ye Fei did not know where the location of the star gate was.

"What can I do?" Scissors scratched his tickled scalp in annoyance, "I've been waiting here, I'm sure I can't wait for anything!" ”

It's a stupid way to try to find it, but now that there is no goal, it's better to look for it than to stay still.

"Use the optical system to find it, the nebula is big enough, but there are not many gaps." Jiang Yufei said.

The Orion Nebula is not small in diameter, but the voids in the nebula account for only a small part of it. Although Jiang Yufei was not there when the Aquila passed through the wormhole, he had read the information at the time and knew that the location of the star gate was not inside the nebula that was unclear in sight, but in the hole deeply embedded in the nebula!

Therefore, it is enough for the God of War to search for holes, and there is no need to waste time and effort to check the entire nebula inch by inch.

Ye Fei understood what Jiang Yufei meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately arranged the sailing route and immediately started searching.

The Ares search uses the jump search method, each faster-than-light flight only flies sixteen light-years, and each coordinate must be observed in all directions using an optical system. Search for images of stargates or human warships - humans have only been active in the Orion Nebula for a little over seven years. Each search for optical images within seven light-years can greatly speed up the search.

In addition to using optical systems to search, the Ares compares the star map at every coordinate location.

When the Aquila flew out of the wormhole, it recorded the star map on the coordinates of the wormhole, although the Aquila was no longer there. But this star map has always been kept in the database of the ZĂ i military. Ruan Peng easily turned out this star map.

Finding the star map was supposed to be Xia Zhuoyan's job. But she hadn't experienced the Aquila era, so she didn't know where to start, so she had to be helped by Ruan Peng.

With the help of subtle differences on the star chart. The Ares kept adjusting the direction of the search, and finally found the image of the stargate five days later, and when the optical system magnified the clear image of the stargate on the main screen, there was a thunderous roar in the bridge.

Ye Fei only felt that this world was really wonderful, he actually saw the Aquila on the image, in a blink of an eye, six or seven years had passed, time could not be turned back, but the universe had faithfully recorded what happened in that year through the optical image.

The Ares flew straight to Stargate, but when it left the speed of light five hours later, it found that there was nothing nearby.

Ye Fei didn't remember until this time that the stargate had been abandoned, and it must have been the military that dragged the stargate back to the base star and returned to the furnace to build a new warship.

The Star Gate was originally built with materials from dismantling giant ships, but now it is rebuilt into battleships, which is like a cycle of life and death.

"Boss, I can't find any useful clues here, what should I do?" Scissors asked Jiang Xue.

Ye Fei said confidently: "I have thought about it a long time ago, the star gate is gone, and the garrison fleet can be removed, but there must be someone guarding the neutron galaxy, let's go to the neutron galaxy!" ”

The cloud cave not far away, deep into the nebula, is a good signpost.

Jiang Xue manipulated the God of War into the cloud cave, and after reaching the bottom of the cloud cave, she turned to the direction of the neutron galaxy, but after entering the superluminal state, she suddenly found that the image in front of her was pitch black, and there was no light at all!

Jiang Xue immediately stopped flying faster than light: "The situation is not right!" ”

"How?" Ye Fei asked strangely.

Jiang Xue recalled the image she had just taken: "You see, the faster the battleship flies, the brighter the starlight in front of it, why is there no light at all now?" ”

The reason why the brightness of the starlight in front of the aircraft increases when the aircraft is moving forward is because the speed "compresses" the starlight.

To explain it simply: if the battleship stays still and observes a star directly in front of it all the time, assuming that the starlight remains bright for the same time, then there will be no change in the previous year.

But what if the ship flies forward at top speed? If it takes an hour to fly over a distance of one light year, then the battleship will receive starlight measured on the scale of one light year within an hour, so many starlights are superimposed, how can the brightness not increase?

With the change in the brightness of the starlight, it is even possible to roughly calculate how many times the speed of the beam when the battleship is flying!

As a result, even the starlight directly in front of the battleship is so weak that the most advanced optical equipment cannot detect it, and once the battleship enters the superluminal state, it can immediately detect the faint stars in front of it.

The passage to the neutron galaxy inside the nebula was "dug out" by a wandering planet, and it was so straight that it couldn't be straighter, and the nebula on the other side of the neutron star was all absorbed by the neutron star, that is, if you fly faster than light speed in this channel, you will definitely see the starry sky on the other side of the neutron galaxy!

Ye Fei was stunned, and then shouted: "It's not good, turn back!" ”

Most people were taken aback by Ye Fei's reaction, and they didn't understand what was going on, but everyone who had been to the neutron galaxy suddenly changed their faces, and Jiang Xue didn't say a word, turned the god of war and flew back.

Jiang Yufei wondered: "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Fei smiled bitterly: "Don't you know, that neutron star has been absorbing nebulae, and when we discovered it, its volume was almost small to the limit, I thought it would become a black hole in two or three years at most, but there has been no movement for so many years, it seems that we are unlucky, just in time for it to become a black hole." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yufei's jaw almost hit the instep of his foot, why did he even come out of the black hole? (To be continued......)
