Chapter 973: A distress signal
And when the Shadow Empire and the Dongsheng Empire were in danger, the team led by Zhong Xinghui still did not give up exploration. I finally found a neutron star, but the process in the middle is very dangerous, so of course I can't give up like this.
The 100 newly dispatched exploration spacecraft are slowly approaching and slowly dispersing, and at the same time, a large number of probes are also being launched.
"The radiation here is super high, and the detector doesn't do much at all!" Mu Dekun was a little puzzled.
"yes, it's dangerous here! Not even an exploratory ship can escape. In this case, it is better to throw out those stored detectors as soon as possible, and it is good to get a little information. Zhong Xinghui smiled.
"Eh......" All the people froze for a moment, it turned out that they could still do this.
Because all the ships in front of them went to explore, there were no signal relay stations, so they could only receive electronic signals. Therefore, it is impossible to get in touch with the exploration spacecraft in front of them in real time, and everyone cannot observe the exploration situation at any time, or even remotely command the spacecraft to fly, so they can only rely on and trust the semi-intelligent program of the spacecraft.
After so many years of development, Huaxia's semi-intelligent programs have also made a qualitative leap, and the definition has been changed again and again. Today, semi-intelligent programs are defined as: they can have a certain degree of autonomy, but they must be executed with the permission and setting of humans; In addition, it is impossible to study esoteric issues such as the love of the machine. In fact, under such advanced science and technology, human beings have also had a very profound study of issues such as emotion and character, and it is not completely impossible to make the machine have thoughts and characters. But no one dared to try, and the consequences were unpredictable.
There is a saying that when there is a thought, there is a desire for freedom, and once there is a desire for freedom, there must be a so-called independence movement. Although the artificial anti-machine is only an inference, it is better not to try it. The entire Pearl Star Field, I don't dare to try to study the perfect sense of the machine!
This waited for more than half a month, and finally all the spacecraft completed the mission of exploration. In the process, the crowd also tried to launch attacks at the neutron star, such as energy cannons, neutron knives, lasers, rail cannons, and so on.
Under close observation. Everyone's regret to find. Only a rail cannon made of degenerate materials can bring some damage to the neutron star - just like throwing a stone into the sea, splashing a wave and disappearing; The rest of the energetic nature of the attack is completely neutralized by the powerful radiation and great mass of the neutron star.
"What a beautiful planet!" Zhong Xinghui looked at the present. Demonstration video of a neutron star scanned by 150 exploration spacecraft. His eyes were full of admiration.
"yes. It's beautiful indeed! "All the people have to agree, because, that's what it is!
I saw the neutron star displayed on the screen. It is about 1 meter in diameter (the actual size is 10 kilometers), and the surface is extremely smooth and spherical, with a hazy and translucent milky white color; But the surface was not calm, and the faint satin-like color was constantly flickering, and it was the neutron star detoxifying - a large amount of proton slurry was expelled. In addition, the poles of the neutron star, with its white and dazzling brilliance, pierces the universe and pierces the curtain like an embroidery needle - this curtain is the nebula around the neutron star. These ejections from the poles are electrons!
The neutron star is like a legendary perpetual motion machine, hovering rapidly, 0.3 seconds is a circle; In the rapid circle, a large amount of proton slurry is thrown along the hovering water level, while electrons are ejected at the poles. Around the neutron star turned out to be a snow-white, very holy world, but this is the most dangerous world, more than ten times, even dozens of times, hundreds of times more dangerous than the current position where the Chinese expedition team stayed!
Under the strong pressure of the neutron star, the atom compresses and collapses; Then, under the automatic repulsion of the electric charge and the huge squeezing force of the neutron star, these electrons and masses will be thrown out. There is also a theory that because the electrons are the lightest, they are converged to the poles, and then they accumulate and form eruptions on their own. Protons, on the other hand, are heavier than electrons, but they also have a certain charge and are more dispersed, so they are lighter than neutron aggregates, just like water under the soil, which is squeezed out little by little, and then forms a jet on the surface.
"It's time to go back!" After collecting all the numbers, Zhong Xinghui prepared all the 30-kilometer large exploration ships to return home. But those unmanned spacecraft were left behind. Except for the 1,000 spacecraft that continue to monitor and explore around the neutron star, the rest are all automatically flying around, randomly exploring, and then transmitting and storing information to each other, and also trying to send signals in the form of electromagnetic waves. But more on that than not, the next expedition team will come to pick it up. It's just too cluttered.
There are more than 4,500 unmanned exploration spaceships left, as long as the intelligent program is not wrong, as long as it is not too unlucky, it is impossible to wipe it out, as long as there is one spaceship, it can be contacted at that time, and all the exploration information can be retrieved.
Suddenly, Zhong Xinghui gave orders, and the return process would take at least half a year, so we couldn't sit still, let's get together and discuss; Separated by spaceships and instruments, how can it be better than direct face-to-face calls and communication.
There is a saying that the more advanced science and technology are, the more people will find that direct communication between people is so important. This reasoning explains; It's tedious, but to put it bluntly, it's very simple, people are social creatures after all!
The "Hu ......" teleportation array lit up, at such a close distance, the two sides were less than 100 million kilometers apart, and it was very convenient and there was no danger in activating the teleportation array. The biggest feature of the teleportation array is that it saves time and effort, and is convenient and fast. With a distance of less than 100 million kilometers, if you use a spacecraft to shuttle, you won't have time to accelerate at all, and it will take more than an hour to start and land and other preparations; And if the teleportation array is used, even if the correction time is added, it is only three to five minutes.
Scholars sometimes ignore a fleeting thought; Not to mention activating a small teleportation array.
"The teleportation array has received an emergency signal!" Suddenly, all the teleportation arrays that were activating received a distress signal!
"Huh? What did you analyze? "The use of the emergency distress signal of the teleportation array can only show that it is really urgent. Mu Dekun immediately jumped in front of the computer responsible for operating the teleportation array.
At this moment, a picture is slowly unfolding, along with sounds and words.
"Urgent SOS. This is the Shadow Empire fleet, and I'm Li Yuan, the engineer in charge of the teleportation array. We are now trapped in the center of the Orion Nebula, and at this moment all the teams of the Shadow Empire are surrounded by native life, and it is difficult to get out.
At the same time, all the teams of the Dongsheng Empire were surrounded, and the situation was urgent, and they asked for rescue. Call for help. ”
The picture also unfolds slowly at this time, but there are fluctuations like water lines, which is obviously not calm—this is caused by spatial interference; In the center, there are all the fleets of the Shadow Empire and the Dongsheng Empire, with nearly 10 million fleets; But at this moment, all the ships have converged to form a self-circling "galaxy" fleet with a diameter of one million kilometers, and this overall fleet is adopting a passive defense method. Looking at the feedback from the surrounding detectors, you can see that countless native life is converging!
No matter which direction the fleet breaks through, it will be surrounded by layers. The situation is really dangerous.
As an excellent soldier, Mu Dekun saw clearly at the first time, if there was no double attack rescue from outside, the fleet would have almost no hope of getting out of trouble; And in a dangerous star field, it is also very dangerous to move forward like this.
Maybe now this fleet looks strong and can continue to advance, but when the energy is exhausted, the consequences are needless to say, and it is estimated that only a small number of cutting-edge ships will be able to escape the fate of destroying Miè.
Probes and unmanned spacecraft are constantly being sent out from the fleet, but they are all destroyed! It can be seen that the images taken by these probes or unmanned spacecraft before the destruction are so terrifying, and a thick layer of native life has gathered around it, and these native life forms are strange; However, their abilities are also strange!
What ray radiation energy field attack is the norm; Some monsters are even capable of firing proton beams, or neutron beams, that is, proton weapons and mature neutron knives in human research!
At this moment, these attacks are all mixed together, although it seems that there is no order and coordination, but there are too many of them. The most important thing is that these monsters feed on the nebula, in other words, when they fight here, no one brings food or grass, and when they open their mouths, there is countless grains around them.
On the other hand, here in the Shadow Empire and the Dongsheng Empire, although the defense is still strong, although the attack is still terrifying, it has to be said that such an attack and defense also consumes terrifying energy, and without replenishment, the energy carried can last for a few years? The energy consumption during battle is hundreds or thousands of times higher than under normal circumstances, especially when facing so many monsters!
"Tsk, how are these guys surrounded by these monsters?" Wan Yunfei sighed in his mouth, not knowing whether he was laughing, gloating, or sympathizing.
"I guess they might have attacked. Eventually, the guide was surrounded! Professor Tang Wenying pinched his chin, "In nature, such a situation is very common, often attacking one person in the group, and then other people of the same race will rush up."
Fortunately, we didn't attack that monster in the first place, otherwise we would have been surrounded. But aren't there a little too many monsters here? ”
"They all ran to other people's nests, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than that!" Zhong Xinghui's face was also a little gloomy, "I didn't expect that a monster would make us look strange, but so many monsters make people's scalp tingle."
By the way, how far away are they? ”
"It's about 6.2 light years!" The engineer in charge of the teleportation array calculated the distance the first time.
"Send the signal to the headquarters outside, with our little strength, even if we go to the rescue, it won't help!" Zhong Xinghui had a judgment at the first time! (To be continued......)
