Although the efficiency of the herds to enter the faster-than-light speed is not as fast as that of the magnetic engine, the distance and time it takes to accelerate are significantly lower than the force field engine and the faster-than-light technology used by the Atlanteans, and judging by the spatial fluctuations left by the herds, their flight speed is not low.

"Holy, what's going on? Aren't the herdsmen capable of faster than the speed of light? The black bear roared sharply.

"Isn't it? Could it be that we meet those herdsmen who are liars? Scissors said angrily.

"What a lie, people are not familiar with us, so it's not strange if you don't tell the truth." Jiang Xue glanced at the scissors and said, "Maybe they are taking care of the star-eating ants that can't fly faster than the speed of light, so they fly slowly with the ant colony." ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Scissors retorted, "Maybe the herdsmen have a clear division of labor like ants, and the workers we meet are all grazing herds, and these soldier ants who are only full-time fighters are normal." ”

"How is that possible?" Feng Lei joined the argument, "If these herdsmen are soldier ants, then the only reason why they appear here is that there is a large community of herders nearby, you look at the diffusion direction of spatial fluctuations, where are they flying?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the argument ended, and everyone noticed that the dozen or so herdsmen had all flown towards the pulsar!

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and the black bear asked in surprise, "What is it about pulsars that attracts herdsmen?" ”

No one, including Feng Lei, can answer this question.

Although we have very limited understanding of pulsars, pulsars are also a type of neutron star. The neutron galaxy in the Orion Nebula can be seen as a template for pulsar galaxies.

That is to say, there are very likely to be planets near pulsars, and there may also be a large number of small celestial bodies, but theoretically speaking, the materials that make up these celestial bodies are ejected from the interior of the star when the supernova explodes, and the light elements contained in them are very few, and the possibility of water is infinitely close to zero, and various metals and heavy elements are their main components.

An environment full of heavy elements is almost a paradise for technological civilization. However, these heavy elements do not poison cosmic beings. It will never be loved by cosmic creatures, what is the intention of the herdsmen to run to pulsars?

Ye Fei glanced at Feng Lei, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to think so much, Jiang Xue." Fly non-stop to pulsars! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Then they were all relieved.

Even the herdsmen dare to fly straight to pulsars. It is equivalent to saying that they must be able to withstand the radiation waves of pulsars, and half of the provenance numbers are industrial products, and no matter how bad the defense against radiation is, it is impossible to be lower than that of the herdsmen.

Feng Lei pursed his lips and didn't speak. There is some loss in my heart.

Ye Fei comforted: "Lao Feng, don't be careful, your construction is actually very correct, if it weren't for the herdsmen to open the way, I wouldn't dare to fly directly to the pulsar now."

"I was wondering if the ship would be destroyed in the hands of the herders." Feng Lei smiled reluctantly, "The accident just now has proved that the words and deeds of the herdsmen are inconsistent, although the herdsmen we asked along the way all said that they had never seen the inspection ship, but what if they lied?" ”

Speaking of this, Feng Lei took a deep breath: "The survey ship is not a warship, and we don't know the real combat effectiveness of the herdsmen, if the herdsmen attack the survey ship...... The consequences are hard to predict. The reason why we were able to get here all the way safely is because Lao Ye you never let the battleship come forward and have been communicating with the herdsmen with holographic images, and secondly, because the Seed Source is a powerful warship, and the firepower is far from being comparable to the self-defense inspection ship...... Also, the herders had placed their sentinels a few light-years away, most likely because they had received the news in advance, so they sent their armed forces out to patrol and prepare to fight against the Provenance. ”

Feng Lei's words organized all the causes and consequences, and after listening to them, everyone seemed to feel that the herdsmen were like spiders, weaving an invisible giant web in the empty universe, just waiting for the seed source to throw itself into the net.

Ye Fei bared his teeth: "Lao Feng, don't be so alarmist......

"I'm not being alarmist, I'm just stating a possibility." Feng Lei insisted on his own opinion.

"Well, one possibility." Ye Fei said, "But there is no strong evidence to support your theory yet, so we must continue to carry out the mission, of course, I will be more careful." ”

"You're the captain, listen to you." Feng Lei has long learned the mantra of black bear, and he is used here.

Ye Fei nodded heavily: "Jiang Xue, set off towards the pulsar, for the sake of safety, the coordinates that deviate from the speed of light are set at a position of twenty-four light hours away from the pulsar." ”

"Roger!" Jiang Xue immediately followed Ye Fei's order, and the provenance number quickly entered the speed of light.

Twenty-four light hours is equivalent to more than one hundred and seventy astronomical units, even if all the ships of the Atlanteans and the Saucer are filled into this range, it is impossible to fill such a large space, and at this distance, it is possible to break away from the speed of light, which can ensure the absolute safety of the provenance.

Twenty-four light hours is not too far away, and the provenance can observe the image of the pulsar from a day ago, determine the details of the pulsar, and determine the next course of action based on this.

It only takes six hours for the provenance to fly to the predetermined coordinates, and everyone has their own agendas, and there are constantly people who put forward various speculations, but after a long time, the virtual bridge becomes silent, and the atmosphere becomes more and more depressing.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the provenance finally broke away from the speed of light, the oppressive atmosphere reached its peak.

Xia Zhuoyan, who has always been lively, silently carried out the routine collection of numbers, and at the same time aimed the optical system at the pulsar for the first time.

The provenance is already very close to the pulsar, and from this position, the naked eye can see flashes of colored light near the pulsar.

"What's that?" Ye Fei looked at Feng Lei and asked.

Feng Lei thought for a moment and said, "It may be something like a nebula, a strong stream of particles emitted by pulsars illuminates the nebula and ionizes some of the material in it, so this is the case. ”

Ye Fei nodded clearly, and the others also felt that it made sense.

The optical system zooms in on the pulsar's image, and a faint little bright spot is finally visible on the screen.

The pulsar is still very young, and the intense pulsed radiation means that it contains great vitality, and it will take countless years to slowly consume its remaining heat and angular momentum before finally becoming a dull black dwarf. (To be continued......)
