The provenance of the faster-than-light flight was being discovered every day, and Feng Lei and the others had more and more work, realizing that it was impossible for the four members of the expedition team to complete this detailed star map in a short period of time, so they temporarily gave up their work in other directions and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the drawing of the supernova ruins of the constellation Velis.

On December 1, 2219, Feng Lei found Ye Fei again and said solemnly: "Captain Ye, we can't continue to fly forward. ”

Ye Feideng was stunned: "Why? ”

The thought flashed in Feng Lei's mind, and a panorama of the supernova ruins appeared out of thin air: "At the heart of the supernova ruins is a pulsar with a very high rotational velocity, and since its discovery more than two hundred years ago, there has been a distinct shock wave in its vicinity...... We've never had a close encounter with an extreme object like pulsars, and all the numbers associated with pulsars come from indirect observations and speculations, and we still haven't been able to determine if it's safe in the vicinity, so I told Captain Ye to slow down and move slowly around the possible danger zone. ”

Ye Fei frowned: "Now there are more than a hundred light years away from the goal, is it necessary?" ”

He knew that pulsars were a kind of neutron stars, and because of their extremely fast rotation speed and periodic outward radiation of pulse signals, they were also called cosmic lighthouses, but because the information on this area was very imperfect, he really couldn't help but get close to pulsars and it might be dangerous.

"Very much!" Feng Lei said, "The range of the supernova ruins of Velius is almost a hundred light-years, and before that, it entered the ruins. I can't say what kind of situation will be encountered, in addition, the magnetic field of the pulsar is very strong, it is difficult to say whether the magnetic field of the battleship can block such a strong magnetic field, and the particle flow emitted from the pulsar is also very strong, if the battleship is directly irradiated by the particle flow, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

Ye Fei Ye Wan nodded: "Sounds very reasonable, then Dr. Feng, which direction is your opinion flying?" He had some knowledge of ordinary celestial bodies, but the complexity of the universe was far beyond everyone's imagination, and pulsars were completely outside his scope of understanding.

Feng Lei immediately drew a spiral involute line centered on the pulsar on the star map: "Pulsars do not have a visible way of energy dissipation. So it has to be measured in the field. In order to know the detailed situation, I suggested that it is best not to fly the Sail pulsar directly, but to fly around the pulsar in a spiral orbit, and take a break from the speed of light every once in a while to measure the situation in the outside world. One to approach pulsars safely. Second, it also helps us to understand the first-hand situation around pulsars...... Don't look at me like that. I'm just a clerical worker, and it's normal to be afraid of death. ”

Ye Fei smiled: "Believe me, I'm just as afraid of death as you." Just do as you say, but from today onwards, you will need to guide you in the specific course! Doctor, everyone's lives are in your hands, don't mess up. ”

"You can rest assured that the four of us will come up with the most reasonable opinion." Feng Lei said.

The wisdom of one person is short and the wisdom of others is long, and the strength of the collective is always stronger than the strength of the individual, and the chance of error is smaller.

"Doctor, I'm waiting for your opinion." Ye Fei raised his voice when he said this, "Jiang Xue, stop the boat!" ”

Speaking in the virtual space of the neural network, there is no need to raise the voice at all, and the reason why this situation occurs is just the manifestation of Ye Fei's thinking.

Feng Lei immediately replied: "Don't wait, we have already discussed." Saying that, he gave the plan that the inspection team has studied together in the past few days.

Ye Fei nodded again and again after listening: "Jiang Xue, do what the doctor says!" ”

Jiang Xue received the order to control the provenance to leave the speed of light, turn around, and fly towards an ordinary red dwarf galaxy on the edge of the supernova ruins of the constellation Velis.

As it flew towards this new target, the provenance always faced the direction of the pulsar, which prevented the accumulation of particle beams in front of the ship from being too high when the bow flew straight towards the pulsar.

As for why the position of the end of the flight is placed near the star, Feng Lei's explanation is that the star has a strong magnetic field, which can block the charged particle beam from the pulsar, and the detachment from the superluminal speed behind the star can effectively avoid the crisis of the outside world.

The safe environment after leaving the speed of light also helps the inspection team to measure changes in the external environment.

Ye Fei hadn't thought about this at all, and it sounded like he would do it if it made sense.

It only took a few hours for the provenance to claim to have reached its first target.

After the battleship accurately detached itself from the speed of light in the direction of the red dwarf star's back to the pulsar, Xia Zhuoyan began to comprehensively probe the nearby space number jù, especially the number jù on the other side of the star.

The number of feedback shows that this is normal, so Feng Lei points to the next target that is more than a dozen light-years away.

Don't look at the fact that this place has entered the range of supernova relics, but the supernova relics that look very magnificent in the distance, when you look at them closely, you basically can't see any spectacular scenes, that is, there is just a faint light and shadow shrouded outside the battleship.

Because of the measures taken to fly laterally, after practicing for dozens of light years in a row, the provenance was only three or five light years away from the pulsar, although Ye Fei felt that there should be no danger to the periphery of the supernova ruins, but he did not modify the previous order, but continued to carry it out patiently.

After all, it is a matter of the lives of the entire ship's personnel, and it is much better to be overcareful than to rush forward and die.

A few days passed, and the provenance flew more than 100 light-years, only about 20 light-years deep into the ruins.

On December 10, 2219, the provenance once again broke away from the superluminal speed behind the star, and Xia Zhuoyan, who was already familiar with the detection process, started the routine exploration work on her own without the need for lightning guidance, but only a few minutes later, she suddenly raised her head in extreme shock and stared at the star on the screen in a daze.

"What's wrong? What did you find? What is the radiation intensity? Seeing this, Feng Lei suddenly became nervous, and his heart rate instantly reached one hundred and eighteen.

Xia Zhuoyan, who came back to his senses, shook his head vigorously: "The external environment is normal, but ...... See for yourselves. After saying that, she manipulated the screen to zoom in on the image of the star, and the star that had just crossed the lowest limit of the yellow dwarf quickly zoomed in.

Most of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy have planets, and there are very few stars that are not accompanied by any planet at all, and the star in front of you is a lonely person, and you can only see some inconspicuous asteroids and small objects such as interstellar dust on the screen, and you can't even find a dwarf planet.
