How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 480 Forced to cross the high temperature ion cloud

It took some time to adjust to the orbit, and at first they relied on the star orbit again to reach the sub-light speed, and within a few minutes they left the star system and escaped into the vast void between stars.

The collectors are a whole team that is accelerated by star orbits. In the theory of relativity, they have the same direction and the same speed, so they can be regarded as relatively static. Based on the principle of the constant speed of light, the collectors can observe each other in the sub-light speed frame of reference. to each other without being affected by the scaling effect.

Even using radio communication is no problem, because the speed of light is constant in any frame of reference!

"When we start to slow down, it means that we start to contact the nebula on the route. After that, our speed will change, so it is very likely that we will lose contact with each other. Everyone must be mentally prepared."

"You must remember that when you feel the inertial pressure, you must immediately start your own antimatter propulsion, and the output power must be grasped as soon as possible. Don't let yourself feel the inertial pressure as a benchmark. This situation means that the antimatter propulsion and nebula Reverse resistance has reached a balance."

"When you leave the nebula, the annihilation reaction of the antimatter shield in front will stop, and you will also feel the inertial pressure brought by the acceleration. At this time, you can turn off the antimatter propulsion."

"Pay attention to the feedback signal of the destination star. As long as it is still in the state of sub-light speed, immediately decelerate when receiving the feedback signal. After the star rainbow disappears, the destination star will not be too far away even if it is some distance away from you. Remember it ?"

Chu recounted the response plan that was planned before the departure, in order to prevent individual collectors from panic after suddenly disconnecting from their fellows, which would lead to errors in the response plan.

This is not impossible, because some of the accompanying individuals are newborn individuals, and these newborn individuals are much less experienced than the old individuals in the group.

"remember!"

Collectors collectively answered in unison.

From the subjective time perspective of the collectors, the collectors at the front were suddenly stretched into a long strip without any accident, like a thin noodle with the thickness of a sub-light speed creature, and then merged into the star rainbow in front from the rear in a loop to go.

This is where the 'slowdown' begins.

When the collectors saw this scene, they immediately realized that the people of the same race at the front had already entered the nebula. The huge relative speed and the Doppler effect caused the current spectacle, and the same race was not pulled together. Rooted in 'noodles', the situation is almost the same as the deformed human face reflected in a concave-convex mirror.

In fact, the collectors only had time to realize this, and immediately felt a burst of strong resistance. The antimatter shields in front of them spontaneously activated, releasing a huge amount of gamma rays to slow them down. The inertial pressure appeared, just like the previous sublight speed deceleration movement.

After Chu Chu felt the inertial pressure brought by deceleration, he started his own antimatter propulsion without any hesitation. As soon as he started, he output antimatter propulsion with high power to offset the inertial pressure of deceleration, and replaced it with an acceleration brought inertial pressure.

At the beginning, after feeling the inertial pressure of acceleration, it began to debug step by step. It didn't stop this behavior until the inertial pressure disappeared and the two forces were balanced.

At this time, it is still at sub-light speed, because the starbow effect is still in front of it, but all its relatives have disappeared.

"It seems that they are in the frame of reference of other speeds. I hope they are all safe."

After the first four weeks of observation, I muttered to myself. If we are in different frames of reference, the huge relative speed will cause some subtle changes in the propagation of light.

Ninety percent of the speed of light, ninety-five percent of the speed of light, and ninety-nine percent of the speed of light seem to have little change in value, but in fact the difference between them is extremely huge. The energy consumed by one is extremely huge.

The impact of the scale effect makes the collectors unable to realize the change of time. They slow down when they contact the nebula, and then start the antimatter propulsion to increase the speed to offset the resistance. Judging from the subjective time of the outside world, this process took a long time. Complete, but the collectors themselves feel very short.

The antihydrogen gas mass comes into contact with the positive matter rushing forward, and these high-temperature star matter undergoes an annihilation reaction after contacting the antimatter shield, forming a jet stream of gamma rays and neutron radiation, which is formed by the antimatter propulsion behind. Horse jets are distributed symmetrically.

On a macroscopic scale, the nebula is 'pushed' out of a long vacuum by the sublight-speed creatures, like giant serpents. As the nebula changes macroscopically, these giant snakes appear more agile and lively, as if they really exist Life is average, and the body length of these giant snakes will eventually far exceed the diameter of ordinary star systems, stretching for several light years.

Perhaps somewhere in this river system, there are some intelligent beings looking up at the starry sky, surprised to find these "giant snakes" created by human actions, and then they may subjectively think that they are a group of cosmic monsters.

It's a pity that these collectors can't see it. The starbow obscures their vision, and their scales limit their perception. They are like deaf and blind swimming in the ocean. These swimmers cannot appreciate the beauty of the ocean. , let alone realize what they have done inadvertently, they just swim forward vigorously.

After a period of time, the time has not passed, and at the beginning, I felt the disappearance of the resistance in front, which means that it has passed through the nebula safely. Immediately shut down antimatter propulsion.

Of course, due to the scaling effect, this process is also going on slowly, but it is 'immediately' compared to the beginning.

"It seems to have passed through safely. Fortunately, due to the loss of vacuum pressure, the density of the nebula is not high, and it is far from being comparable to the atmosphere of the planet, otherwise it will be dangerous."

I was relieved at the beginning, the action of forcing the nebula is not much different from their expected situation, or it is already very idealized, all that remains to be done is to wait and receive the feedback signal from the destination star system, and then it can slow down. When leaving the sub-light speed, this inter-star voyage is completed.

Time seems to stop at the sub-light speed state. Without a suitable reference object, it is impossible to feel obvious time changes from the outside world at first. If there is no matter in a space, time will lose its meaning of existence.

"It's a signal!"

After receiving the signal, Chu immediately decelerated, and the familiar inertial pressure reappeared, and various organs in Chu's body were also squeezed. Fortunately, the collector has a strong physique, and this kind of inertial pressure is not a terrible thing. But it's different if you're a human or a Serene.

In the initial subjective perspective, this deceleration process is extremely fast, the starbow disappears, and it returns to the normal view of the universe in a blink of an eye. After recovering its observation ability, it immediately observes that there are multiple sources of gamma rays in front and behind.
