Chapter 101 Searching for amoebas

Intrepid's system projection clearly shows that there are tens of thousands of rogue planets that have passed through the Orion galaxy in the past twenty-five years.

"What should we do? There are so many interstellar planets, how should we search for that amoeba star?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"This is a good thing. The existence of so many wandering planets can provide these groups with excellent hiding places." Master Jing analyzed.

"Lev, when the Amoeba planet passed by the Eternal Star, there should have been data about the size of the planet left behind." Lao Du asked.

"That must be true," Lev replied.

"Duoduo, use the spectroscopic parallax method on Blue Star to screen out rogue planets with the same size as Amoeba, and then exclude gaseous planets and look at the results." Lao Du ordered.

"Okay, let's calculate the size and distance (r) of the star based on its apparent magnitude (m) and absolute magnitude (m). The formula has been set and the screening will start immediately." Duoduo replied.

Since there are only tens of thousands of target planets, the calculation data results will be available within a few minutes.

Finally, three solid planets that met the criteria were screened out.

"Which one is the amoeba planet?" Zhang Baoer asked.

"The position of this planet after its movement is aligned with Rigel, which should be directly ruled out, because Master Jing said that Amoeba is moving in the direction of Rigel. These are two opposite positions.

, the probability is too low." Lao Du pointed at one of the planets and said.

"So, our final search goal is to focus on the other two planets." Zhang Xingxing confirmed.

"Yes, judging from the direction and distance, the two planets are very likely to be located within the large orbital radius of the star Betelgeuse. Judging from the records, they should not have left the star circle of Betelgeuse."

Duoduo added.

"Then first lock the trajectory radius area of ​​one of the planets and take action immediately." Zhang Xingxing ordered.

"After receiving the order, the wormhole traversal will be carried out in ten minutes, and the Dauntless will return to the outer space of the Betelgeuse galaxy." Duoduo responded.

Everything is ready, and the Intrepid has created a wormhole system in front of the spacecraft.

"Let us observe another minute of silence for Adrian, the warrior who saved the universe." Zhang Xingxing said.

After hearing this, everyone turned to the window and looked at the dark planet that was still emitting gamma ray bursts. They lowered their heads and silently expressed their most respectful gratitude to this hero of the universe.

After the silence, the Intrepid jumped into the wormhole. After about 10 minutes of wormhole flight, we returned to the Betelgeuse star system.

According to the orientation prompt, we came to the outer space of Betelgeuse, which is very far away from the parent star. Although Betelgeuse is huge, the distance is too far, so that the star finally looks about the same size as the sun.

"The outer space of Betelgeuse is 0.9 light-years away from the stellar parent body." Duoduobo reported.

"Oh my God, how big this star system is. Searching for a planet in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack." I said.

"Yeah, I thought the range was already very small. Isn't this a joke?" Zhang Baoer complained.

"I have locked several target areas and am preparing to open the jump channel and release the reconnaissance robot." Duoduo said.

"Just implement this plan." Zhang Xingxing ordered.

Duoduo immediately started executing the regional search plan. According to the regional search plan, it would take three hours for each reconnaissance robot to complete a regional search.

The waiting process was extremely boring. After three hours, the first batch of search data was returned. Except for some asteroids, comets and other rocks, there was nothing.

"This is too difficult. Such a search is no different from gold mining." Zhang Baoer said.

"There is no better way at the moment. Duoduo quickly sets new coordinates and places the robot at the second area search point." Zhang Xingxing ordered.

"Execute immediately." Duoduo responded.

Just like that, you looked at me and I looked at you and continued to sit there for another three hours. I watched Diudiu eat at least five packs of biscuits.

New search results came out, and the projection played frame by frame. Suddenly, a huge figure appeared on the screen.

"Found it." Zhang Baoer jumped up excitedly.

Seeing Paul's appearance, everyone suddenly became excited.

"It doesn't look like this. This is a brown gaseous planet. It is obviously not the amoeba we are looking for." Lev analyzed.

I carefully observed the reconnaissance image and found that this was indeed a gaseous planet.

Everyone felt disappointed and sat down again.

"Don't be discouraged, continue searching Duoduo." Zhang Xingxing ordered.

"Wang Yue, do you want to send them to Sirius B?" The silly Zhang Baoer asked a question that we have always avoided.

I saw both Titan and Amethyst showing worried expressions. Indeed, their life on Sirius b was already too difficult. If such a powerful species were to be added, it would be difficult for the people of Bright Star to survive.

Everyone spent another three hours in agony, and Duoduo exported the latest reconnaissance return images.

After a bunch of chaotic asteroid images flashed by, another huge black figure came into view.

With the lessons learned last time, everyone seemed very cautious this time.

This is a planet with a black appearance. From the data returned by the detection robot, it can be clearly seen that this is a solid planet.

Because it is very far away from Betelgeuse, the area here shows an ultra-low temperature state. The thick atmosphere of this black planet is covered with white ice-like material, giving us the appearance of a frozen planet.

"It looks very similar to the amoeba planet we described." Lao Du said.

Duoduo quickly compared the direction, trajectory and size of the planet with the Imperial College's amoeba data.

After a while, Duoduo raised its head and shook its big machine head at us.

"It's not this planet. This planet is not Amoeba." Duoduo said to everyone.

"How do you know that this planet is not an amoeba planet?" Lao Du asked Duoduo.

"This black planet is not a wandering planet. Its trajectory is circular and it is a planet orbiting Betelgeuse." Duoduo replied.

"There are planets orbiting Betelgeuse so far away." Lao Du asked in surprise.

"Yes, it takes three billion years for this planet to revolve around Betelgeuse. Maybe it has not completed this task since its formation." Duoduo replied.

"This is too exaggerated. It is really amazing that the control range of a star can be so large." Zhang Xingxing said.

But the mission to find Amoeba remains unfinished.

"How about we put Blue and the others on this planet." Zhang Baoer suggested.

"No, although this planet is very far away from the Eternal Star, it only takes a minute to travel there using wormhole technology. We cannot put them on a planet with a fixed orbit." I refused.

"But there is a strange phenomenon." Duoduo said suddenly.

"What is the phenomenon? Please tell me quickly." Zhang Baoer urged.

"The atmosphere of this black planet seems to be divided into two parts, one half is in a frozen state, and the other half is still in a gaseous state. I can't figure out why this is the case for a while," Duoduo explained.

"Well, there are so many strange phenomena in the universe. Living things can also emit gamma ray bursts. What else is impossible?" Zhang Baoer said with a smile.

"Since there is no target we need to find in the area here, should we consider the search area for another target?" Zhang Xingxing said.

"I also agree to search in another area, but everyone has been working continuously for more than ten hours. It is recommended to have a meal before continuing to work." Master Jing suggested.

When they heard about eating, both Diudiu and Zhang Baoer looked excited.

Amethyst and Duoduo worked together to prepare, and soon a sumptuous banquet was placed in front of us. In addition to some space food, Amethyst also specially cooked delicious food from the Sirius b planet.

I saw Daum sitting directly in front of a piece of fragrant barbecue.

"Do Blue and his kin need to eat?" I asked.

"When I was preparing food in the kitchen, I saw Blue drinking a lot of water, so I just prepared enough water for them." Amethyst replied.

Everything was ready, and everyone began to feast. Indeed, the current task was just to find a planet. Compared with the previous life and death pressure, it had been reduced a lot.

For some reason, my appetite was not very good, so I left the dining table with a piece of bread and a cup of coffee, and sat in front of the projector, mechanically watching the reconnaissance images played in a loop.

At this time, I saw Blue's clone, which seemed to have woken up, jumping up and down on the console, and suddenly rushed to the projection equipment. Its round body just blocked the black solid planet, like a green ball.

Wearing a white frozen hat, the shape reminds me of Santa Claus.

I find it very interesting. Looking at the clone of Blue trapped in the atmosphere, I suddenly thought of what Duo Duo just described, that the atmosphere of this planet shows two different states.

An idea flashed through my mind. I put down the bread, drove away Blue's clone, and gradually enlarged the projection. Behind the black planet, a vague shadow appeared vaguely.

"Duoduo, come and take a look, there seems to be another planet behind this planet." I shouted anxiously to Duoduo.

After hearing my words, Duoduo immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

The robot uses its skilled operating skills to cut, compare and enlarge the pictures, and then uses the images returned by the robot to quickly perform digital analysis.

A few minutes later, Duoduo looked up and said to us: "There is another planet running parallel to the back of this black planet, but it is blocked."

"Oh my God, you can see this. How did you do it, Zangyue?" Zhang Baoer shouted excitedly.

"I just based on Duoduo's tips that the black planet's atmosphere has two forms, and inferred that its atmosphere may be invaded, which usually occurs in binary star systems." I replied.

"The data shows that the orbit of the planet on the back is unstable. It is most likely a rogue planet. It just happened to meet the Betelgeuse planet in its orbit. After about 20 days, the two planets will stagger and move according to their own

The trajectory continues to move forward, and now it is the closest distance between them." Duoduo said excitedly.

"It's such a coincidence, why are good things always discovered by Zang Yue?" Zhang Baoer muttered.

"But this is the fact. People who eat less in Zangyue are smarter. Some people eat a giant grilled beetle by themselves. It's not surprising that they are not stupid." Daum said sarcastically from the side.

Zhang Baoer stood up suddenly, but was forced back to his seat by Lao Du.

"Everyone, please stop arguing. There is a high probability that this planet belongs to the Amoeba star. I suggest that you start the jump procedure immediately and go to pursue this rogue planet." Zhang Xingxing ordered.
