Lena Lan hesitated when it came to this problem.
On the one hand, keeping going and finding out the truth was precisely what Chase wanted.
On the other hand, it was to protect the safety of all people, especially Cassie. She couldn’t let her be in danger or get hurt.
“I feel weird. I’ve never felt something like this before.”
While Lena was still hesitating, Cassie suddenly said.
People around were curious and looked at her one after another.
Because Cassie was the most outstanding astronomer, her words must have significant reference value for this situation.
Cassie thought for a moment and said, “I have a vague feeling that we are safe on The Observer now, and basically there is no danger here, but over there…”
Pointing to the location of the neutron star fragment, she continued, “It feels very dangerous there. It’s indescribable. It’s like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any time. Anyway, it’s so dangerous that it can destroy us at any time.”
People around them were silent. They didn’t know what such a situation was. First, there was no gravity reaction after approaching the neutron star fragment. Second, it made Cassie feel dangerous. Could the information source be the fleet of an alien civilization?
Lena and others also looked in the direction of the neutron star fragment, which was a dark night sky.
But soon, Lena’s face changed.
“I also vaguely have this feeling. Is it true that there is a fragment of the neutron star coming for us?” Before Lena spoke, Josh suddenly said.
Lena then looked at Josh. They both saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
In fact, several scientists also nodded.
“To be sure, there must be danger ahead, whether it’s neutron star fragment or not.”
Several scientists said.
Cassie thought about it again. She looked at Lena and suddenly said, “Auntie Lan, let’s get The Observer close to the neutron star fragment carefully. Once we find any gravity, we stop or retreat immediately. We can slow down and then turn on all the engines. At the critical moment, we will force into the Curvature navigation right away.”
“How high is the risk in this case?” Lena looked at Cassie.
“In general, as long as we enter the curvature navigation in time, the probability of being captured by the gravity of a neutron star is small. But we still don’t know much about the neutron star. Would it let us get there in time? No one knows.” Cassie was honest.
“But in order for us to make rapid progress in human technology, or to directly verify my father’s conjecture, I think we need to take this risk. Maybe it’s not a danger at all. It’s an opportunity for us. “Cassie went on.
Her words made several scientists nod.
They wanted to take a risk even if they knew it was dangerous.
They were indeed a bunch of crazy people.
Even if they knew that the front was the immense dangers and difficulties, as long as they were aware that there may be truth ahead, they would go ahead without hesitation.
Josh and Lena knew their spirit, though they were not scientists.
But they should firmly oppose Cassie’s proposal now.
They both looked at each other with complex and hesitation.
They clearly bore in mind what Chase said, but they were moved by Cassie’s words.
After seeing the power of LaKu’s technology, they knew that human technology was still too backward and too small in the universe.
Moreover, now they were not sure whether there was a neutron star in front of them. If they went back like this, they would not complete the task at all.
So whether they left Planet B and lived a restless life in the universe?
Or did not take this matter seriously, and continued the development of Planet B?
“Keep going. At least, we need to know whether there is a neutron star fragment in front of us, and then we can go back.”
In silence, Lena clenched her fist and said.
Now that she had given the order, the rest of them could only follow it.
Besides, who was not curious about it? This was the biggest secret they were going to find out.
Was there really a neutron star fragment?
In what way did it exist?
Why was there no gravity reaction when they were so close? Or was it really a trick directed by an advanced alien civilization?
All in all, The Observer began to approach the neutron star fragment continuously, and because of the need for caution, the speed of The Observer had dropped to 50 kilometers per second.
It was only 180000 kilometers per hour. For a distance of 100 million kilometers, this speed was not really fast.
In this way, Lena ordered all the engines to be turned on, and everyone watched 24 hours.
90 million kilometers, 80 million kilometers, 70 million kilometers.
A few days later, The Observer was only six million kilometers away from the neutron star fragment. They have finished half the way.
But The Observer’s instruments showed that the spaceship was still unaffected by any gravity as if nothing was left in front of it.
All of them were so excited. Scientists were eager for both neutron star fragment and the absence of it.
As for the rest of the military crew, naturally, they don’t want neutron star fragment to exist.
In such a mood, everyone suffered for several days.
Until then, Lena gave a stop order.
The Observer would stay 600 kilometers away from the neutron star fragment.
Everyone began to go to bed and rest, leaving only the basic operators, while arranging several shifts for cycle operation and rest.
According to Lena, all people should rest until they got their best physical strength. Tomorrow, they would really go to the location of the neutron star fragment. Whether there was a neutron star fragment could be seen at a glance.
There was no objection to the order.
Even Cassie, who was looking forward to it, listened to Lena and went to sleep first.
After a few days of continuous mental excitement, the people were not energetic at all.
At Lena’s command, people began to rest and sleep until the next day, when all the scientists, researchers, and most of the soldiers and crew members were refreshed.
Lena gave the order to speed up a little bit and begin to approach the fragment of the neutron star.
At this moment, everyone’s heart was full of expectations.
What would be the truth?
