Chapter 83: Just Have Hands and Information about the Board
"."

Kay's eyes went back and forth between the words written by Milo several times, and asked Milo: "Captain, what do you think?"

"I'm more inclined to look for the Helium Flash Ball. After all, the Machine Soul Cult's laboratory was discovered there," Milo gave his answer without hesitation. "But the problem is that no matter whether the laboratory has been moved or not, it seems difficult for us to get access to it - after all, it was the Shik Community that took over it."

Kai nodded slightly.

indeed.

Considering the special situation of the Fisherman's Wrath, Milo also had reason to suspect that there was something special in the laboratory of the Machine Soul Sect - at least when entering the same building, the probability of discovering secrets in the laboratory should be much greater than that in the former residence of Payasinya.

At the same time, from the perspective of criminal investigation, the laboratory can also be regarded as the 'first crime scene'.

However, with probability at its maximum, Milo and his team are now faced with an unavoidable problem:
The one who dragged away the helium flash ball was the Shik Community, one of the nine arbitration countries, and it was a prop prepared for the National Day of Mourning.
With this kind of buff, it was a rare opportunity for Milo and the others to even take a glimpse from afar, let alone enter the laboratory?
Thinking of this, Milo couldn't help but sigh, and asked with a sidelong glance at Gu Wei's translator: "Big Eyeball, do you have any ideas?"

"Obviously not," the voice of Big Eyeballs sounded in the translator: "The helium flash ball has most likely been pulled into the royal court. How could you sneak in? Give up, there is no hope. Goodbye."

After listening to Big Eyes' three consecutive questions, Milo just shrugged his shoulders - he was just asking casually and didn't expect this guy to come up with any solutions.

Jin, who was standing by, fiddled with the console for a while, looked at the data and said, "It's still four months away from the National Day of Mourning. From our location, it will take about eleven days to get there, so the time is not too bad."

"Um, I have a question," Gu Wei raised his hand when he saw this: "Isn't that helium flash ball a star? Why do you guys talk about it so casually?"

Gu Wei has actually been wondering about this for some time.

Whether it was the Heik Community using a spacecraft to transport the helium flash ball, or the way Milo and the others were talking now, it was as if that thing was not a star, but a lighter that could be casually put in your pocket.
"Oh, you're asking about that," Jin closed the page in front of him and said casually, "In fact, there is no particularly complicated principle. To put it simply, we first use a magnetic fluid traction ring to guide the matter to gather towards the core, zero the stellar angular momentum, and then use a set of gravitational lenses to strip off the outer layer of the star, and transfer the stripped matter to an artificial black hole - the mass of this black hole is [placed] at the other end through the weaving point. An ordinary spacecraft can complete this task. It's so easy that you can do it with your hands."

Gu Wei: “.”

Okay, I'm sorry for being rude.

This is fucking "easy"
Do not know why.

Gu Wei suddenly thought of the TDE, or stellar tidal disruption event, which was common in astrophysics before the time travel.

The so-called TDE refers to the phenomenon that a black hole tears a star into a noodle shape. All matter including light that crosses the event horizon will be swallowed up. Some of the remaining matter will rotate around the black hole to form an accretion disk, emitting powerful flares composed of X-rays and visible light, and some of it will be violently ejected.

This phenomenon is also called black hole hiccups or ruminations, and a very famous event is AT2018hyz.

True.

According to Gu Wei's theory before he traveled through time, the matter "regurgitated" by the black hole was no longer in its original shape, but it was surprisingly similar to what Jin described.

Could it be that during the TDE phenomenon before I traveled through time, some civilization was creating similar helium flash balls?

On the other side, Jin, who had casually given Gu Wei a huge psychological shock, looked at Mi Luo and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

". Let's go ask about the exploration team's situation first. The board should have some news after so many days." Milo pondered for a while, and it can be seen that he didn't seem to be willing to give up the helium flash ball just like that: "Meimei, transfer the board."

Meow Meow: “Got it.”

After a while.

Swah——

A projection appeared in front of everyone, and on the screen was Alelie, whom Gu Wei had not seen for a few days. Gu Wei also learned a few days ago that this remote chat interface was the Startalker platform.
After the call was connected, Banzi was still as concise as ever: "What the hell?"

"Don't play dumb," Milo pushed back with his arms around his chest, "It's been a few days. Have you gotten any results from what I asked you to find out?"

Milo did not reveal the news that Gu Wei had turned into a mecha. After all, this matter was too special, and it would definitely not be a good thing if it were spread out.

Anyway, the purpose of him asking for information about the exploration team was also related to the Machine Soul Sect's laboratory, and the needs before and after were exactly the same.

"Hey, I was just about to tell you," the man in the video straightened up angrily, "I called you half a day ago but you didn't get through, and now you're blaming me?"

"Half a day ago?" Milo was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he had actively closed the communication in order to snipe the alien life: "Oh, I was busy with something at the time. I apologize. I'll give you a bucket of 82 engine oil next time we meet, okay?"

"That's more like it." Seeing Milo sliding down and admitting defeat, Banzi finally spoke with satisfaction: "I have found out what you want to ask. The first to discover the Machine Soul Cult laboratory was a pioneering group called the Burning Crusade."

"The team was established just five years ago, and all the members are rookies except the captain. In fact, the captain has no experience either. He has been a middle-level manager on several ships for more than ten years, and the longest time he served was as chief engineer for three years."

Milo nodded slightly.

The situation Banzi described is very common in the starry sea. Unlike ordinary crew members, many middle and senior leaders of the fleet, after following the veteran captain for some time and accumulating, or thinking they have accumulated enough experience, usually choose to go out on their own and recruit others to work on their own.

What this type of people usually do is to use their savings and resume as collateral, take out a loan to buy a second-hand ship with decent performance, then bring some trusted relatives, friends and descendants from their hometown civilization, and set sail from a star port somewhere with infinite longing.

In the first few years, these newbies will basically work hard in safe areas to earn some hard-earned money, but after a few years, they will make different choices:

Some will continue to make a living by taking a stable approach, while others will take more risky actions - heading out to explore or even open up unknown areas.

Among the latter, a small number can achieve success and fame, and a medium number can become veteran drivers like Milo Sheeran.

The fate of the vast majority of the remaining
Life falls into the starry sky.
