Chapter 392 The Neighbors of the Sun Galaxy
This is the 21st year since leaving the Sun and Sun galaxy.
During this long voyage, there was only an endless empty space. It was not until this moment that the Expeditionary Force finally observed the remaining large interstellar material except the fleet again.
It was an area similar to the Olt clouds of the solar system, with a large number of wandering small celestial bodies, comets and interstellar dust beginning to appear densely in the observation range of the Expeditionary Force.
Coming toward us is a large meteorite with a diameter of about fifty kilometers, which is mainly composed of dry ice and iron ore.
The expeditionary force did not avoid it, but went straight forward at high speed.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared!
Visually, the large meteorite directly hit a space carrier that was leading the way! However, the next moment, both the meteorite and the space carrier were no different, and they wonderedly staggered and continued to go their separate ways.
It turned out that the Expeditionary Force sailed on a new dimension of four-dimensional space. From a three-dimensional perspective, they should indeed meet each other on a narrow road, but in fact they were not on the same track at all.
"The star a light year ahead!"
Yuan Shichen stood in front of the simulated starry sky picture of the command ship, stretched out his index finger and pointed straight forward.
"We are crossing its edge, its Olt Cloud!"
The Expeditionary Force is on the border of this stellar territory. As long as you cross here, you will truly enter a brand new stellar system.
This star is considered a close neighbor of the Sun and Sun galaxy, and the two are 49 light years apart. By analyzing the matter around the star system and using super telescopes to observe, the Expeditionary Force inferred that its mass and age are much smaller than that of the Sun and Sun galaxy. At this distance, its brightness is not significantly different from other stars in the sky. It is just a brighter light spot. The Expeditionary Force is unable to observe any of its detailed characteristics for the time being.
She is indeed a star. Although she is small, she also ruled a large amount of interstellar matter and emitted light and heat all the time, bringing light and warmth to the entire galaxy and a little tenderness to the cold universe!
Yuan Shichen just stared at the star silently. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one could understand his feelings.
Once upon a time, human civilization was trapped in the solar system and could not cross the line. Interstellar travel was just an infinitely distant dream
In the entire expeditionary army or the entire human civilization, he was the only one who walked all the way from that desolate era, so he was the most touched at this moment.
"Let the central intelligent navigation system recalculate the route, fine-tune the direction without affecting the overall acceleration, and let the expeditionary fleet pass by the star!"
At this moment, Yuan Shichen's spirit had relaxed. He gave an order calmly, and his eyes were still silently staring at the star.
"yes!!!"
A loud gong sounded, and it was Sergey, the military commander of the Expeditionary Force who was responsible for commanding the specific navigation mission of the fleet.
The answer was indeed loud, and all the staff in the command center couldn't help but look at each other, and Yuan Shichen's emotions were instantly pulled back.
"Sorry! Leader." Sergey seemed to realize this.
"It's okay, this is very good, keep going!" Hara Shichen smiled and patted Sergei on the shoulder, "Go."
"Okay!" Sergei turned around and left after saluting.
After fine-tuning the route, the Expeditionary Fleet continued to fly towards the star at high speed. At this time, the Expeditionary Fleet's speed had reached 4.9 times the speed of light, and it took less than half a year to pass by her.
Four months later, it was about 0.3 light years away from the star. With the technological means of the Expeditionary Force, the star system has been easily seen thoroughly. Observations show that there are a large number of early characteristics of stars in the galaxy. The star is only about one billion years old, and it is just a star from its youth.
She has a total of one rocky planet and three gas planets. The closest rocky planet is only 40 million kilometers away from the star. The planet has a mass of about 36.2% of the earth and its volume is about the same as Mars. Moreover, this planet has been locked by the gravity of the star, and she will always face only one side toward the star, just like the moon and the earth.
The other three gas planets are far away from the stars, which are about the same as Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the solar system.
In addition, there is a very complex asteroid belt within the star system. Because this is a young star system, and this asteroid belt is large enough, it is very likely that a new planet will be formed here in the future.
"This is a relatively narrow star system. None of the planets have the conditions to give birth to life."
A phantom suddenly appeared beside Yuan Shichen, which was the artificial intelligence Wali who was helplessly joined the expeditionary force.
"However, she can become the best development target for human civilization!" Yuan Shichen said calmly, "The entire star system can inhabit at least 20 billion people."
Indeed, the living environment of human civilization is no longer limited to habitable planets. As long as you are willing, human civilization can build a space castle to any corner of the galaxy. Of course, the best choice is the outer space of gaseous planets, because it will be more convenient to obtain energy there. Just like the giant space castle Himalaya.
Over the next two months, the Expeditionary Fleet became closer to the star.
Passing through the top of the star's sphere, the stellar wind becomes stagnant here, and various interstellar radiations become silenced. The high-energy charged particles from the star become stronger and stronger.
"Leader! Do we need to send a scientific research fleet to various planets for investigation?" Science commander Tang Jikede asked Yuan Shichen for instructions.
"Go and go quickly!" Yuan Shichen said concisely.
"So, let's send a deep space resource development fleet to mine the resources of gaseous planets together?" Sergei asked.
"Yes." Yuan Shichen turned around and looked at the star system in the starry sky picture and said, "Save all the collected data and send it to the Yuri Galaxy in the future."
"Maybe, by the time the expeditionary force returns, this star system has become a member of the human civilization map."
Yuan Shichen thought to himself. He didn't say this, because, perhaps only he could finally have the chance to see this scene.
The hero will never return once he leaves, and it is also desolate to come
