Feng Lei, who had been watching this conversation, kept feeling the magic of the creation of the universe, it seemed that the empty interstellar space was not empty, and he had the idea of catching all the star-eating ants and herdsmen to study it.

Fortunately, Feng Lei knew that the purpose of this time was not to study cosmic creatures, so he did not make this non-dividing request.

Of course, even if he brought it up, Ye Fei would not agree.

It is obviously impossible for the herdsman, a cosmic creature that has not even evolved faster than the speed of light, to threaten the safety of humans, and on the premise that there is no conflict of interest, he does not want to slaughter a cosmic biome with intelligence for no reason, but finds an opportunity to explain the nature of the hologram, confesses his identity, and repeatedly emphasizes his friendly attitude.

Maybe it was the previous communication that played a certain role, maybe it was that there was no dark side to the society of cosmic creatures like herdsmen, and several herdsmen did not show obvious hostility after understanding the true image, but they cautiously approached the hologram, stretched out their tentacles and touched it like an electric shock, and the herdsmen who did not touch anything at all believed Ye Fei's words, and asked about the situation of human beings.

When the herdsmen learned that humans were a technological race, they invariably made a surprised move, saying that it was the first time they had seen a technological race like humans, and the only action of the previous technological races after seeing the herds was to slaughter their people frantically.

Ye Fei's spirits were lifted, and he immediately asked about the detailed situation.

At the beginning, the farthest detection distance of the deep space program was just over 700 light years, and the supernova remnants of the Marines were just outside the detection range, and he had no idea that the herdsmen, a race that did not even have the ability to fly faster than light, had actually come into contact with other technological races!

With the flight ability of the herdsmen. The tech races that have been exposed to are obviously not too far away, and it is absolutely necessary to report to HQ after a detailed investigation.

You must know that although the current location of the provenance is not between the blue star and the base star, it is not too far away, the republic has regarded the vast star field from the solar system to the base star as its own back garden, and suddenly an unknown technological race pops up, how can Ye Fei not care?

If it is a race similar to Atlantis, it is difficult to say who this starry sky belongs to in the end.

It's a pity that these herdsmen don't know the details, they only heard their parents mention that their ancestors were hunted down by a certain technological race, and many of them died, and only a few of the lucky ones managed to escape. They don't know exactly how much time it has been until now.

Audible. Although the herdsmen have evolved enough intelligence, they are like children who grew up in primitive tribes, even if the spaceships from the outside world have flown into the sky, they can't even count ten fingers.

Ye Fei held on to a glimmer of hope. Replaced the image of the Provenance with the missing research ship. Ask the Pastoralists if they have seen the ship.

The herders had no impression of the survey ship at all. Fortunately, Ye Fei didn't expect to get any useful clues from the herdsmen.

After all, the flight speed of the herdsmen is too slow, and if they were to be replaced by a race that can fly faster than the speed of light, the chance of encountering the inspection ship would be greater.

Communication has come to this point. Although a relationship of trust has not been established, the two sides have come to know each other.

Ye Fei euphemistically explained the position of the human race, hoping that the herdsmen would try not to move in the direction of humans, and the herdsmen understood this and firmly remembered the direction of the human race.

Although the herdsmen have been wandering in the universe and have no fixed territory, they understand how severe the consequences of violating the territory of the powerful race will be - the ancestors who were slaughtered by the technological race are a lesson from the past!

Although these herdsmen have never seen a technological race, they have heard from their ancestors about the power of the technological race, and any technological race is very powerful for the herdsmen, and they are not so arrogant that they think that a dozen tribesmen can fight against a powerful technological race.

To tell the truth, with the combat power of the herdsmen, the human race two hundred years ago could be completely wiped out with a primitive spaceship equipped with a large-yield nuclear bomb, such a race is a fish belly of mermaid meat in the powerful cosmic race family, if the commander of the provenance is a belligerent and unreasonable commander today, these herds and their herds may have become corpses long ago.

The communication between the two sides ended in a seemingly friendly atmosphere, and before ending the communication, the herdsman said that he would give some of the star-eating ants as a gift to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei was very curious about this strange creature, and happily expressed his willingness to accept this gift.

Unexpectedly, the herdsmen suddenly separated at least tens of thousands of star-eating ants from their herd, Ye Fei asked Feng Lei, and after knowing the minimum limit needed to study a creature, he accepted more than a hundred star-eating ants, and then repeatedly said that there was no need for so many before the herdsmen brought the excess herd back.

But fortunately, Ye Fei accepted a part, and the herdsmen were like a reassuring pill, and rushed back to take care of their herd with peace of mind.

For the herdsmen, it is normal for the situation before paying a certain number of herds to the powerful race as "protection fees", "tolls", and "road money", if Ye Fei insists on not collecting them, I am afraid they will have to prepare to fight hard.

Ye Fei ordered the battleship to put all the star-eating ants into the cabin of the ship simulating the interstellar environment, put them into a dormant state for easy carrying, and then summoned everyone to the bridge.

When the provenance was back on the road, Ruan Peng curiously asked about what happened, and Xia Zhuo, who had not yet faded in excitement, talked about the situation of the herdsmen and star-eating ants in a vivid voice, which frightened everyone inexplicably.

Even if everyone is accustomed to seeing cosmic creatures, they have never heard of such strange cosmic creatures.

After Xia Zhuoyan finished speaking, Feng Lei sighed: "It's a pity that there is still no news about the inspection ship. "His teacher was on the missing ship, so he was very concerned about the ship.

Everyone was silent at the same time, and Ye Fei whispered: "There is a way to find the inspection ship, but it must be agreed by the headquarters." ”

"What's the solution?" Feng Lei asked excitedly.

"Light!" Ye Fei said crisply.

The excited Feng Lei didn't realize what Ye Fei meant at all, and couldn't figure out what the inspection ship had to do with light, but the others had already understood what Ye Fei meant, and explained the way to find "passed time" through the optical system.

As an astronomer, how could he not know the relationship between the speed of light and time? (To be continued......)
