"Excuse me, what is the danger you just mentioned?" Wells directly closed the guy's communication and asked Carl Danner gracefully.

Wells is not surprised that his technical staff are not as good as those of the Quarians - the Quarians lost their home planet hundreds of years ago, and their entire race has a population of close to 17 million, all living in the largest planet in the galaxy. On the "Wandering Fleet" of the fleet, from birth to death-every moment of their lives is to maintain the ships living under their feet. The Quarians are often regarded as the best ship mechanics in the entire galaxy.

Of course, how the Quarians lost their main star is a long story, and it is also the heaviest shame for the Quarians... Don't look at this Quarian man named Kal Danner who is always polite. From now on, he will never deal with Orchie who used the quarian star to make fun of him again! He is standing up now, not to save the slave traders and slaves on the ship, but to save himself...

"Does anyone know about the William Herschel limit? Just the constant algorithm..." Carl Danner stood in the middle of the crowd and first asked a question. But after seeing that everyone was a little confused, he took the initiative to explain, "The William Herschel limit refers to calculating the relationship between the orbit of a binary star system and its gravity... Oh, to put it simply, it means calculating the relationship between the orbit of a binary star system and its gravity... After the spacecraft is captured by the gravity of the binary star system, it is the ultimate distance from which it cannot escape... The rustling sound that everyone heard, like the sound of wiping the ship's planks, is the sound of the spacecraft passing through cosmic dust and colliding with meteorite debris. This shows that Although the spacecraft has turned off its engine, it is still moving. We have been captured by the gravity of the binary stars. So the first problem now is not to find the channel, but to first confirm the position of William Herschel's limit, which is the most important thing when entering the binary channel. It’s important!”

"You want to use the main engine of the spaceship?!" Captain Wells looked at the Quarians with some suspicion, and he keenly discovered the key point. Unfortunately, the quarian's face was firmly covered by the mask. Nothing can be seen. As a Cerberus agent, he would subconsciously doubt every face that was too honest, but what Carl Danner said was also very important. He couldn't help but become a little hesitant.

"Unless you don't want to know if we are in danger, it's best for me to start working right away." Carl Danner nodded candidly. He said very sincerely. "Don't look at the fact that we are still at least fifty astronomical units away from those two beautiful blue giants. The complexity of the binary star system is beyond imagination, and the mass of these two blue giants is beyond imagination! We are probably very far away from William Hershey. Our limit is not far away, maybe now we are flying towards the two blue giant stars like moths to the flame..." He controlled the multi-purpose tool and sent a set of formulas to the console. "Or you can let your technician handle it yourself, I guarantee this formula will be perfect!"

He turned his face in the direction of Wells and added one last sentence, "...just please hurry up!"

"Okay. I'll let my technicians take care of it first." Wells finally agreed, and then he continued. "If you're good at anything else, I suggest you help out with the engines... The thrusters are down completely due to reasons we all know. My technician told me it would take at least twelve hours to fix... whatever this is Wherever the William Herschel limit is, we need to start our engines to get out of here."

"It's so bad?! There is no worse news than this..." Carl Danner shook his head, pushed the Krogan guard away, and walked towards the engine room. After he secretly boarded the ship, he had been hiding here for a long time and was very familiar with the structure of the "Agility"...

only. The situation was worse than he imagined.

The black starry sky has been completely blocked by the blue giant star.

Looking from here, all you can see is an ocean-like deep blue and occasional bursts of blue flames. The scenery is beautiful yet hopeless!

Within five hours, bad news came one after another...

The first is that they have been firmly captured by the gravity well of the blue giant binary star system, and the spacecraft is rushing towards the blue giant star with incredible acceleration without hesitation! And because the blue giant star not only captures the spacecraft, but also attracts and swallows all the planets, meteorites, dust, comets and other materials in the entire galaxy - this causes the spacecraft to constantly collide with external materials - the previous ones The rustling sound is the sound of dust hitting the surface of the spacecraft. Now as the speed increases, the intensity of this impact can no longer be ignored.

In order not to be destroyed by a larger meteorite, the "Agility" had to drive the kinetic energy barrier at full strength. Therefore, the "Mass Effect Core" is always operating at full capacity and may crash at any time...

Then there are the spacecraft’s ion engines—except for the one Li Huamei destroyed. The other one was also on the verge of being scrapped due to grazing. If it is started reluctantly, it is likely to cause a larger explosion and Element Zero's rampage... leaving only two intact engines of the spacecraft. Even if it is repaired immediately, the power is obviously not enough to escape the gravity of the blue giant star! What's more, there is no hope of repair yet...

Of course, there are ways to try, such as reducing the load as much as possible - giving up all the cargo holds on the cargo ship - but think about the Element Zero worth up to 1.6 billion star dollars! No one would dare suggest that...what? Throw people out? ! Bird/beast! ...Actually, the main reason is that there are only 400 people. Even if each person weighs 100 kilograms, it is only 40 tons... not even as good as an empty container.

Apart from being cruel, such a suggestion has no practical significance!

Finally, there’s the Mass Effect Repeater…

"Mass effect repeaters always appear in pairs." Carl Danner's reminder was like a life-saving straw, firmly grasped by everyone on the ship. Yes, that's the theory - even if there is an error during transmission, one repeater will only send the transmitted items to the other! This is the principle! In other words... there must be a intact mass effect relay in this galaxy, so they could be teleported here!

Since it can be teleported in, of course it can also leave with the help of the repeater! (The transmission principle of the repeater is similar to shooting the center of a circle with a gun - it can only ensure that the destination is distributed around the center of the circle, and it is difficult to achieve accurate point-to-point transmission.

Captain Wells no longer cared about the residents of these colonies. He directly ordered each of the residents to find the damn repeater! Use the detector on the spacecraft, use the telescope, and use the naked eye! Everyone is looking for the last way out of here with their eyes wide open...

"Is it...that one?" Finally, a girl's voice trembled, saying that she discovered the location of the repeater - the azure repeater core, almost melting into the dark blue background - the girl couldn't How lucky you are to find that small paperclip-shaped repeater in the bright background of the blue giant star!

This repeater is still running intact, and its location... is directly in front of them four astronomical units away... yes, directly in front! Because the repeater of the Spear Galaxy is also pulled by the binary star system, it will even crash five hours earlier than the spacecraft! From this point of view, they seemed to have caught up with the last passengers on the death carriage, and actually jumped into this world that was about to be destroyed in the last seconds after the repeater crashed!

Now the whole ship, whether they are slave traders or slaves, collectively begin to hate Li Huamei... for no reason!

Should we rush towards the relay, activate the relay against the gravity and radiation of the binary stars, and then teleport away at the last moment? ! ——This kind of novel-like plot has not even one thousandth chance of success...

"How much time do we have?" Wells looked haggard now and his voice was hoarse. There was an ashtray in front of him, filled with cigarette butts like hedgehogs. For five hours, he kept calling the outside world on the console, but unfortunately there was no response.

"There are still seven hours before reaching William Herschel's limit..."

"Seven hours... is this our last time?" Wells laughed self-deprecatingly, "You said that if we were directly transported to the surface of the blue giant star, it would just pop... and it would be over. Now. We still have seven hours, and if God is not torturing us, there must be some way."

"Ask for help!" the old Krogan said calmly! Olch is an alien among the Krogan people, and everyone hates him - but he still insists on using his own method to open up a new path for the Krogan people. He never gave up—and certainly not today.

"Believe me, Cerberus's communication device is the best..." Wells shook his head. "If even we can't get through, it means that within the extreme range, there is no buoy network, and this is a completely dark universe."

"It is said that occasionally someone can receive mail from a distant world...sent from the other end of the galaxy! The probability may be one in 10 million..." Orchie said.

"Then we'll send it ten million times!" Wells crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray! The mountain of cigarette butts collapsed...

On the spaceship, everyone, whether men, women, old or young, is operating their own multi-purpose tool - the blockade on the multi-purpose tool has been lifted, and the spacecraft's communication system is open to everyone - you can use whatever you want. The operating mode sends a distress signal.

On the big screen hanging on the bridge, a number was rising crazily, and in the blink of an eye it had accumulated to one hundred thousand times! And the goal is 10 million! Although there is little hope, everyone is operating with enthusiasm.

What everyone doesn't know is that although everyone is working in vain, there is only one person, Jenny, who has a piece of tissue implanted by Li Huamei. When she sends a certain distress signal, the signal is blocked by that piece of tissue. The organization captured it, changed the delivery method, and then followed a mysterious passage across the dark space, spanning hundreds of light years, and delivered it to the "Skywalker"... Lu Yuan!
