Ye Fei raised his eyebrows: "Can the shells of the gravity cannon or electromagnetic cannon cause this effect?" "Faster? What counts as fast?

Lin Rong nodded: "It should be possible." ”

"You mean, this is left by the survey ship?" Feng Lei suddenly jumped up like a chicken blood.

Although the survey ship is not armed to the teeth like a real warship, it is also a military ship anyway, and it is not completely unarmed.

"I didn't say that." Ye Fei immediately denied it, "It doesn't matter if the gravity gun or the electromagnetic cannon is concerned, the length of the body barrel is about the same as the length of the capital ship, if the inspection ship has the length of the capital ship, is it still the inspection ship?" It's the capital ship directly. ”

Feng Lei knew that he had asked a stupid question, and coughed a few times in succession before hiding the embarrassment on his face.

The main function of the inspection ship is not to fight, the weapons are only enough for self-defense, if you encounter a large group of enemies, there is no power to fight back, and a slip is the king.

Everyone researched it, but found no more clues.

Human beings always have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, and they can't figure out what is attacking the herdsmen, as if something is hidden nearby and quietly peeping at the provenance, just like a person walking in the primeval forest in the dark night and being stared at by a predator on a boat, which makes everyone's hearts can't help but be furious.

Although Ye Fei also felt that he did not have a lot of confidence in his heart, but the task could not be abandoned, he ordered the battleship to continue to move forward, but more carefully than before, when leaving the speed of light, it would not enter the interior of the galaxy, and only stop at the edge of the galaxy for a while. Leave immediately after collecting information about the environment.

Three days later, the cautious provenance was only six light-years away from the pulsar, which was one of the closest galaxies to the pulsar when it left the faster-than-light system, and the safest way to do so would be to fly around the pulsar and approach the pulsar in a circle.

Xia Zhuoyan routinely recorded the number of the environment, and the optical system was aimed at the red dwarf star four astronomical units away, recording the characteristics of the star, and analyzing the spectrum of the star.

Spectroscopic analysis is able to distinguish the type of matter in the star. Feng Lei is eager to analyze and analyze the spectrum in the direction of the pulsar. It is a pity that the luminosity of the pulsar itself is very weak, and even if the distance between the two sides is only six light-years, the information that the optical system can observe is very limited. It is not enough to tell if there are superheavy elements in the vicinity of pulsars.

Just when Feng Lei was constantly thinking about how to achieve his goal. Xia Zhuoyan, who was looking at the big screen, suddenly widened his eyes: "Boss." Shepherd! ”

"Where? Live or dead? Ye Fei immediately asked.

Although the provenance number has had a few pleasant contacts with the herdsmen, the two sides have met in Pingshui, and Ye Fei will not have stupid thoughts such as "sticking a knife in the ribs for a friend" because of this. So there is no special taboo between words.

"Alive!" Xia Zhuoyan replied immediately.

"Impossible, right? Lao Feng, what is the radiation intensity in this place? Can the herders withstand it? Ye Fei asked.

Feng Lei shook his head: "I don't know if the herdsmen can withstand it, and the star-eating ants definitely can't withstand it." ”

"Then how did they end up here?" Ye Fei was puzzled.

"Chief, I didn't find star-eating ants, nor did I find them grazing other kinds of herds." Xia Zhuoyan enlarged the image of the herdsman and displayed it directly on the big screen.

I saw more than a dozen herdsmen flying slowly in a sparse line on the screen, and the number 1435 was displayed in the corner of the screen, which was the target speed measured by the optical system.

"Could their herd be on the other side of the star?" Black Bear guessed.

"It's unlikely." "Their location is not far from the star, and that place is not a material enrichment area at all. ”

Viewing the star from the perspective of a battleship, most of the space of this galaxy is within the observation range of the optical system, except for the back side of the star.

The observation angle that the star can block is very small, the possibility of a small object behind the star is extremely small, and the distance is too close, all icy asteroids will evaporate due to the heat radiation of the star, and it is impossible for herders to graze their herds in places without water.

"Why do I think something is wrong?" Ye Fei suddenly said suspiciously.

"Is there too many herders in this family?" Scissors said casually.

"That's not right!" The words of the scissors reminded Ye Fei, "The members of any herding family are big and small, but you see, these herdsmen are basically about the same size, and they can't be the same family." ”

"That is, there is a large community of pastoralists here? What are you kidding, like? The black bear said with a bull's eye glare.

As the black bear said, the situation of this galaxy is clear at a glance, not to mention that there is not a single star-eating ant to be seen, and the number of celestial bodies such as asteroids alone is impossible to support the herders to expand their herds.

"Of course not, that's why we're here to study, instead of talking to each other like we used to." Ye Fei rubbed his temples, and suddenly felt that the seemingly ordinary herdsmen also had many unknown secrets.

"What can we research behind closed doors here, or use the old method to test it with a holographic satellite, hit the grass, and startle a snake?" The black bear grinned and said.

"You can try." Ye Fei nodded and said.

"Wait, boss, we met the herdsmen here, you say, could the pulsar be the home of the herdsmen?" Scissors said suddenly.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone immediately discussed.

Ye Fei glanced at Feng Lei and said, "Old Feng, you said that this pulsar has only exploded for more than 10,000 years, could it be that the herdsmen evolved before the supernova exploded?" ”

Feng Lei was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "There is such a possibility, and it is very likely that they were intelligent creatures before they evolved into cosmic creatures." But it's just a possibility, I personally think the odds are very low, because the distance from pulsars is too close, more than 10,000 years, enough time for them to fly hundreds of light years, right? How is it possible to linger in this place where birds don't? ”

Ye Fei was annoyed: "Damn, it's really evil." No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't guess a reliable reason, and he couldn't help but wonder whether he should use holographic satellites.

At this moment, more than a dozen herdsmen on the screen suddenly turned, and then from the first one, one after another emitted a bright light, and at the same time, the entire formation began to accelerate, and actually entered the speed of light in a very short time, leaving only the continuous spread of spatial fluctuations and the fluttering eyeballs.
