Chapter 58 Star Trek 1
Under the boundless nebula and dusty sky, two huge, spinning blue giants were devouring each other - facing the spectacular scene that almost occupied the entire view of the porthole, both the crew of Cerberus, mercenaries, and the plundered residents on the "Agility" were temporarily in aphasia.
The inside of the spacecraft with the engine closed, and it was dead silent at this time. Everyone looked dumbfounded... It would be better to say that they were looking at the scene outside in horror!
Whether it is the residents of the colony or the staff on the spacecraft, as long as the humans who are planning to live in the deep starry sky above their heads, they have some knowledge of astronomy.
Everyone knows that the blue giant is a star with super mass and size that is far greater than the sun. Because of its excessive mass, the intensity of hydrogen fusion inside it is far greater than that of the sun. Excessive combustion causes the blue giant to burn out within tens of millions of years (the sun has a lifespan of 4.5 billion years) - This also makes the blue giant more than hundreds of thousands of times that of the sun, both in its brightness and energy radiated outward...
Because the antimatter fuel burned by the antiproton engine of the Dreadnought is collected using super-large solar arrays, especially the ring arrays built around the blue giant, which can be called an incomplete version of the Dyson Ball. Therefore, the blue giant has a very high status among the civilized races of the Milky Way. Although any galaxy with blue giants will have too much energy projected by stars, resulting in strong radiation, high temperature on the planet's surface, etc.... It is completely unsuitable for the harsh conditions for biological survival. However, all races are still flocking to it - because being able to build a sun array on the orbit of the blue giant is almost a symbol of a military power. The entire Milky Way has only four races, Turi, Asari, Serari and Klogans (made by the help of the Serrari).
Blue giant star galaxies are already rare - but please... the galaxy of the Blue giant binary star system?! Where is this?! Have you heard of it? Can you find it on a known star map?
Previously, when the msv "Agility" was locked by Li Huamei's ship shelling, the harsh alarm sound of the bridge resounded. Wells had to concentrate all the colonial residents on the bridge and temporarily acted as hostages and flesh shields - mainly to protect the mass effect core behind the bridge, which was the basis for the spacecraft to fly at super-light speed. Now the Klogan mercenaries surrounded by guns could not suppress the panic of the colonial residents, and the crowd began to make buzzing sounds. And it became louder and louder...
When residents saw the huge blue star that appeared outside the porthole, almost no one could settle down! The civilized race that relied on the mass effect repeater to step into the Milky Way, the progress of aviation technology has always been closely linked to the repeater. All wars, explorations, and developments almost revolve around the repeater as nodes. Every civilized race is looking for more repeaters, more than a completely unknown galaxy, meaning undiscovered repeaters and...
"I need an explanation!" The head of the Klogan mercenary, Old Olch, ignored the commotion crowd, but found the captain of Cerberus, Wells, and yelled. "Why does this happen to the tmd spacecraft?! I guess what happened to you Cerberus? I guess you Cerberus made another thing... just a engine was broken! The ship I took last time was broken, and a big hole was broken in the mass effect core, and only half of the engine was left, and they could fly to the Voyager Galaxy!"
"Quiet! This is just an accident!" Wells threw away the cigarette and said angrily.
He was busy on the bridge, but in fact he was helpless. He didn't know where he was currently. Cerberus' remote communication was even more unresponsive. Even if he wanted to fly, he had to at least confirm the direction first. He was thrown out by the mass effect repeater for hundreds of light years. God knows that this is the core of the Galaxy or the alien world. "I guess it was caused by the little cargo of element zero transported on the ship... The leakage current from the ion propeller broke through the element's storage cabinet and activated the element zero. As the book said, element zero was powered on and produced a mass effect field. Then... ~!"…
"There is an element zero on the ship? As the captain of the guard, I don't seem to know at all." Olch said indignantly, but after thinking about it, he realized that the possibility of such assumption is very high. Neither of them is an expert in the application of "element zero" and speculated that this step is already the limit. Therefore Olch changed the topic of interest, "You talk about element zero?! Can a little bit of it cause such a great effect?"
"Eight containers... Going to the Pure Land to pick up the goods was just an accident. My ship was not originally used to transport passengers." Wells pointed to the walls of the bridge and corridor, and the extra radiation protection panels were installed. "Olch, do your job well. I have the best technicians in Cerberus on my ship. It may take some time, but they will eventually get it done. All we need is to smoke a cigarette and wait quietly..."
"Element zero in eight containers...ha!" Old Olch was completely shocked by the news, and his eyes flashed. Element zero, which is the basis of all modern technology in the Milky Way, only exists on objects that are impacted by supernova explosions (such as asteroids), so it is extremely expensive...
"You asked me to protect prohibited items worth up to 1.6 billion stars, but only paid 500,000 stars? I think we need to sign another more reasonable contract..."
"The goods are not your business, your duty is to be optimistic about these people... If it weren't for temporary planning adjustments, I wouldn't have hired the Klogans." Wells interrupted him directly. His hand seemed to have waved twice, and a depressing cry sounded in the crowd, which instantly quieted down - because four machine guns were raised on the four corners of the bridge.
Not only that, Wells and the console were wrapped in a blue light film, and blue streamers flashed from time to time, separating Wells and Olch from both sides. "I heard that the Klogans do not abide by the signed agreement so much and occasionally rob their employers? You know... there is always such news on the market." Wells said with a sarcastic look.
Don't look at this film like a soap bubble, it seems to be broken with one poke. But just think about its function - protecting the driver and workbench under the conditions of machine gun turrets - you will know how hard the shield is! This kinetic energy barrier is directly connected to the core on the ship, and as long as it does not exceed the limit that the cargo ship has to bear, it is almost impossible to destroy! Moreover, the kinetic energy barrier can be adjusted. When the speed of the blocking is set to a very small value, it means that as long as it is a moving object, even if it walks one micron per hour, it will be blocked by the kinetic energy barrier...
Old Olch immediately put away his little thoughts and laughed heroically. "What news is definitely a rumor! We Klogan mercenaries are the best. You can leave everything to the Klogans with confidence, and they won't want you much in a single child."
Although Olch then made an excuse to leave, the four turrets were still standing there, aiming coldly at the crowd and... the Klogan mercenaries who were guarding the crowd had no intention of putting them away.
...
"That is a youth binary star system composed of a b2-level and an o3-level blue giant. Judging from the star map, this should be a spear galaxy... We are less than two hundred light years from the Skillian star cluster." Suddenly, a voice with some electronic pronunciations sounded, attracting everyone's attention. What he is talking about now is the topic that everyone is most concerned about.
It was a humanoid living being sitting against the wall wearing a full-body protective suit, a brown hood, a tight mask, and even a breathing filter on his mouth.
"It's the Quelli!" The colonists shouted, and a large area of space suddenly appeared beside the Quelli. In the Milky Way, there were many rumors about the Quelli - unfortunately, there was no good one.
". Just as you see, it's a Quelli..." The Quelli stood up from the corner, his body was slender and slender, and his height was similar to that of a human. The Quelli opened the visual interface of universal tools and showed it to the people around him. "If you think Quelli carries a deadly virus, sorry, it's just nonsense of the illusion."
"Quille? I don't remember catching it..." Olch showed some disgusting expression, "How did you get on the boat?! Are you stealing something?!"
"The Quelli will never take items without ownership, nor am I a slave you captured. Arrived on this ship just to continue my journey." It was still a very polite, young man's voice. "The Klogans, I will not laugh at your main star for the craters everywhere. You don't have to speak ill of the Quelli."
The Quelli said as he walked forward and quickly approached the center of the crowd. Olch narrowed his eyes and picked up his assault rifle. "At least we still have the main star... and stop now. Tell your purpose?"
"Mutual harsh words are meaningless... I just want to tell you and that human captain, you are in great danger but have no sense... I just need to do a small experiment. Now is not the time to chat!" After he finished speaking, he clicked on the universal tool. As if a scream, the harsh electromagnetic noise suddenly sounded, like a ripple swept across all the crowd and the Kroger people.
"Ahhhh!" Almost everyone took off the "sound compensation system" on their ears as soon as possible to avoid the harsh noise!
"Relax! Relax... It's just to get you to take that thing off." The Quelli shook his hands to stop the Kroger's raised muzzle. "At this time, you should listen to the real sound of the world... instead of continuing to let the sound compensation device accumulate to deceive your ears."
The "sound compensation system" mentioned many times. It is an electronic device worn on the ear, usually integrated with common devices such as headphones and microphones. As we all know, sound cannot be transmitted in the universe - because sound waves require medium to conduct. And not only that, the planetary environments in the Milky Way are strange, resulting in different sounds heard in each environment after the planet lands.
The loneliness and silence of the former will cause various psychological diseases of organisms, while the change of the latter will make organisms neurotic and memory deteriorate. The "sound compensation system" is to solve this problem and creates a "dubbing" device to replace the real sounds heard. However, this compensation depends entirely on the judgment of the computer, and a situation will inevitably occur - when the computer does not detect it, the sound will not appear again...
For example, now, when everyone has taken off the "sound compensation system", everyone hears the strange rustling sound, coming from outside the msv - just like the summer rain falling on the roof.
At this time, the horn on the bridge suddenly rang, and a man's voice shouted happily, "Captain Wells, I found our location! This is the Spear Galaxy! The nearest mass effect repeater only takes one week to sail..."
The bridge happened to be quiet, making his words very clear, and some residents could not help laughing out loud - because the "good news" he happily reported, the Quelli man had already accurately judged it with only universal tools, and it was much earlier than him.
"The best technician in Cerberus?!" Olch mocked and repeated the words Wells had just claimed, and then commented in one word - "Ha!" b
