A. L. 12 (A. L.=After Leaving [the earth] The first year when human left the earth is A. L. 1.)
Three years had passed since humans arrived at Planet B. It was also a year after the discovery of neutron star fragment.
At the same time, it was also a year after The Observer set off.
The Observer was a frigate of The Hope.
First, it accelerated around Planet B, and then accelerated with the gravitational field of the stellar. Finally, the speed of The Observer nearly reached light speed, and then it entered the curvature navigation.
Because the neutron star fragment was so fast that they were close to the light speed, so after a year of curvature navigation, The Observer was actually not too far away from the neutron star.
In order to better observe the neutron star fragment, The Observer had to retreat from the curvature navigation, and the speed was reduced to about 0. 8 times the light speed.
“How about it? Cassie? Can The Observer withstand the gravity range of the neutron star? “As he watched Cassie with a group of scientists and researchers fiddling with some detection instruments, Josh Xu finally couldn’t help asking.
He kept Chase’s words in mind, and in any case, he could not let danger come.
And the closer they get to the neutron star fragment, the more dangerous it would be.
So he had to stay awake and alert.
As Chase’s daughter, she was also an outstanding scientist, almost equivalent to a national treasure level figure. She did not need to participate in this project.
But she couldn’t resist her enthusiasm for scientific research, so Chase had to let her come.
What’s more, Chase knew at the time that for an astronomer, the temptation to observe neutron star at close range might have been the one thing any astrologist couldn’t resist.
To be honest, if he was not the leader of mankind, he would have come by himself.
So he had to agree to Cassie’s request.
Of course, it made many people admire Cassie so much.
It was astonishing that she chose to get involved in this project.
Both her father and herself, for the sake of the development and future of mankind, were willing to risk their lives.
Such a spirit was exactly what human beings need.
At the moment, Cassie’s face looked weird. After observing the data for a while, she looked back at Josh, “It’s very weird…”
“Ah? What’s the matter? Is it too dangerous? “Josh quickly got up and asked.
Lena Lan, on the other side, also looked at Cassie with caution. If she was sure that there was any danger, she would immediately send her order to return to Planet B.
The whole ship was controlled by her own people, which was also the guarantee to ensure that Cassie and other scientists couldn’t be reckless.
“No, no, Uncle Xu, don’t be nervous. What I said is that the research data is a bit weird.”
Seeing the nervous face of Josh, Cassie said jokingly, “Normally, the mass of this neutron star fragment is very huge. Its mass is about one-thousandth of that of the fixed star. According to our present distance, it is only 100 million kilometers away from it. The Observer should have been pulled by its gravitational range, but Why… ”
“What’s the matter?” Now even Lena and a group of special warriors behind her couldn’t help asking in a hurry.
Cassie shook her head again and said, “Our spaceship was not affected by any gravity. Let me put it this way, it is as if we are in the open space and not close to any stars. However, both the electromagnetic detection system and the old-fashioned radio telescope detection system show the existence of neutron star fragments, which is really weird…”
Lena looked a little excited, but a moment later, she changed back to her usual state, cold, and solemn expression.
She thought for a moment and said, “Cassie, is it possible that your father’s theory is true?”
“Aunt Lan, my father, what did he say?” Cassie looked at Lena.
“Your father said that he suspected that neutron star fragment did not exist, and we were just deceived by the information of advanced civilization.”
After a pause, Lena explained, “He also said that he suspected that there might be some higher civilization secretly controlling or monitoring us so that we would not stay on a planet and develop.
The progress of science and technology civilization is very slow when we stay on a planet and live peacefully.
If we escape for survival from planet to planet, all kinds of dangers in the universe will continue to stimulate human potential, making our human science and technology more and more powerful. And science and technology civilization will get higher and higher.
Of course, it’s just your father’s guess. This time he decided to carry out this project to confirm whether his conjecture is right.”
Hearing Lena’s explanation, Cassie and others were all lost in thought.
Dasin Ding was the only one who was qualified to attend the meeting among the member of the House of Scientists. The scientists like Cassie did not know what Chase had said at the meeting before.
“I have heard of my father’s speculation before, but I always feel that he is a little nervous. He described science as a fantasy… ”
Cassie hesitated for a moment and then discussed it with the scientists and researchers around her.
As for the professional knowledge they discussed, Josh looked at Lena. They both shook their heads, they didn’t understand at all.
It was no wonder that one of them was born as a soldier, and the other was born as a businessman. They couldn’t understand the parameters and various data.
A scientist said, “I always didn’t take the president’s guess before, but now I think it’s possible. After all, gravity data cannot be wrong. Since The Observer is not disturbed by any gravity, there may actually be nothing there… ”
At the moment, The Observer was very far away from the fixed star in the galaxy where Planet B was located.
And before that, The Observer crossed a messy asteroid belt, the Oort cloud of the Centaurus region.
It meant that they had left the entire Centaurus region and were no longer affected by its gravity.
At the same time, The Observer was only about 100 million kilometers away from the neutron star fragment, which was supposed to be disturbed by its gravity.
But it didn’t.
Moreover, such a distance was not visible to the naked eye. In addition, the neutron star fragment did not emit light, and there was not enough light to lighten its position. Therefore, it was even more impossible to observe it. For various reasons, The Observer did not actually see the existence of the neutron star fragment.
This was quite unusual.
It was even quite bizarre, so the scientist thought that Chase’s previous guess might be true.
Now everyone was looking at Lena.
She was the captain of The Observer and the chief executive of this project.
At this moment, although it had been basically confirmed that there was no gravity source, only the information was displayed, so they could leave here and return to Planet B.
But the project was not complete yet.
So they had to know what Lena’s decision would be.
Keep going?
Or return immediately?
