"After all, the Carters' technology is very backward. The Empire had the ability to produce this kind of nuclear fusion spacecraft before, but they did not choose this kind of warship design, but adopted another low-speed but strong defensive design."

The Carters’ nuclear spacecraft relied on uncontrollable nuclear fusion as the power source of the spacecraft. The empire wanted to create it. There was no big problem. The Celine people that the Carters could think of would naturally also think that a civilization is impossible. All are fools, but the empire did not choose this in the end.

"Why? This can accelerate to one-tenth the speed of light." The other collector was puzzled.

"But warships are no better than spaceships. Warships are a kind of high-kill weapon that acts on the battlefield. The speed is one aspect. Can it pass the light faster? Coupled with the difficulty of steering caused by the inertial system, this makes the high-speed spacecraft On the contrary, the hit rate tends to increase, which leads to the need for warships to have a certain degree of structural resistance instead of speed."

After thinking about it, the other collector agreed with this idea of ​​the same race.

"Indeed, if it were not for the development of an anti-matter shield, we would not dare to increase our movement speed to a very high level."

"If you fight across stars, it is estimated that you will be fighting across light years by projecting small organisms."

Suddenly, one of the individual collectors remembered something, and it sent out the information.

"Speaking of light-year crossings, I remember that Carters reported to us that there were two small fleets heading out of their parent star at one-tenth the speed of light."

Another collector of this matter is also aware of this. Hearing the matter mentioned by his family, it also expressed his own thoughts.

"It's surprising that the Carters had foreseen the space war not long ago at such an early age."

"The Carters are not stupid, they are much smarter than us, but they are still too young." The family replied.

"But there are many people who have their own minds, such as those who are loyal to our informants..."

On the side of Sori, on the home planet of the Carters, there is a huge building that stretches from the ground to the outer space. It is an amoeba's gimbal creature.

The Carters did not show any concern about the existence of the Yuntai creatures, because the Yuntai creatures were set up to rescue the Carters. According to their agreement with the Amoeba, after the Carters are all cured, the Yuntai creatures will Put away the rhizomes and leave on your own, leaving Sori to the Carters, who will have full autonomy of Sori.

Of course, it is limited to Sori, all stars except Sori are owned by Amoeba.

At the junction of Yuntai's biological rhizomes and the surface of Sori, a sloppy-looking homeless man was taken here by several soldiers.

Afterwards, several soldiers bowed deeply towards the joint, then quickly turned and walked away as if fleeing.

The homeless man was very calm, and immediately sat down as if he had returned home, and looked around. The connection was surrounded by a high wall, forming a cylinder, as if it were somewhere deep underground.

Suddenly, the tramp heard a voice in his ears.

"Are you Myron, the Carter's commander in chief?"

"That's the past tense. Now I am just an ordinary and destitute homeless man." Mellen smiled and waved his hand.

The collector doesn't want to go around in circles, it goes straight to the subject.

"Then Wanderer Myron, can you tell us which star is the destination of the two small fleets that fled out of your own will?"

"I do not know."

Mellen answered very simply.

"Tell us, this is for your good." The collector reminded.

It was not malicious, because the way the collectors showed maliciousness was not like this, but Myron was obviously going to be wrong. He turned his eyes to the connection and asked.

"You want to threaten me with the Carters on Sori?"

"No, we didn't think like that, it was really out of good intentions."

The collector once again emphasized and stated his ideas.

Melon felt a little strange, but he was relieved when he thought that he was talking to an alien creature, but he still insisted on his answer. In view of the friendliness of the other party, he didn't extort the confession by words and deeds, so Melon gave detailed explanations. Give some explanation.

"I really don't know. When I made the plan, I considered that you would obtain the coordinates of the destination from me. I also believe that it is impossible to extract a confession or some high-tech interrogation method that can read your memory. Concealed, so the destination star of the fleet that fled out was chosen by the fugitives themselves. I just gave them a chance to escape."

"Really? That's a shame, we can't help you."

After hearing this, the collector expressed regret. After a brief communication, Myron, who had a preliminary understanding of alien creatures, was puzzled. He could understand that the alien he faced was really expressing. Can’t help—then the question is, what can I do for you?

Myron had a bad premonition, he asked hurriedly.

"Wait, help us? What do you mean?"

The collectors didn't intend to hide it either, after all, it was just something that all Carters would know in the future.

"Then let's tell you one thing, the star five light-years away from you is not the parent star of our Amoeba, we have colonized it there."

"Our Amoeba civilization starts from the starting star system. Whenever we reach a star system, we will tear down the planets in that star system to build star orbits and antimatter megastructures. After the construction is completed, we will continue to move forward. The surrounding star system colonizes, so back and forth."

"The speed of the colonial cluster is 90% of the speed of light through star tracks. It only takes a few years to pass a distance of several light years, but the two small fleets that you fled out only reached ten times the speed of light. One part, and the acceleration is very small, it takes a lot of time whether it is acceleration or deceleration, which also increases the time to travel across stars.

"Our colonial cluster of Amoeba can easily catch up and surpass them, reach the destination of the two fugitive fleets early, and disassemble all the planets in that star system, even if we don't know their destination. "

When the collectors said this, Myron’s expression became quite ugly, no longer as relaxed as before. Every star system that was unscrupulous in the universe like Amoeba colonized and possessed far more than Carter. With the higher speed of the human spacecraft, it is almost inevitable that Amoeba will meet with the two fleeing fleets.

The explanation of the collector continues.

"We know that you are on a voyage for the continuation of civilization. In order to get rid of our pursuit of you, you must choose a star that can sail the farthest and rich in resources as the destination, and supply material after arriving at the destination. ~lightnovelpub.net~ and continue to flee, but unfortunately, when the two fleeing fleets arrive at their destination, they will not see the planets with abundant resources, but us."

"The load capacity limits the material reserves of the two fugitive fleets. The material resources needed for interstellar voyages must enter a star system for replenishment, unless they are lucky enough to come into contact with a wandering star system. Abundant wandering planets."

"However, even if this is the case, without knowing our technical level, we will eventually enter a certain star system and come into contact with us. This is inevitable. Our speed is far beyond yours."

In the latter part of the collector, it is meaningless to say whether to say or not. It is just to say what Melan was thinking. After Melan learned of the sublight speed of amoeba and colonial behavior, he had already thought of it first. This result.

"Your plan did not save those compatriots who escaped, but only gave them a little hope and a greater despair." The collector said.

Myron opened his mouth, trying to say something, but closed it again.

After pondering for a while, Myron asked.

"You...If you met, how would you treat them?"

"I don't know this. Different situations are handled differently, and different clusters handle things differently, but one thing is certain, that is, they will not be allowed to die, even if they want to die." The collector said.

"Then why did you say those things to me just now?"

Mellen still couldn't understand, what exactly did the collectors mean by ‘can’t help’ just now? Since there is no life-threatening, what else to be afraid of?

"Because life might be worse than death." The collector said.
