According to the information available to humans, Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star.

The surface temperature is less than 3,000 degrees.

A massive planet orbiting it is likely to contain life because it is located in the habitable zone.

And this planet is Xu Lei's goal.

After the Golden Crow entered the light speed state, it quickly left the scope of the solar system.

Because under the action of the curvature space engine, the space in front of the spacecraft rapidly curves and shrinks, and the space behind the spacecraft rapidly curves and expands.

It's like blowing up a balloon from behind to push the spaceship forward.

The spacecraft propels forward at the speed of light in this created curvature bubble.

However, Xu Lei regrets that the Golden Crow's curvature space engine can only reach level 2 warp speed, which is equivalent to twice the speed of light. In this case, it will take about two years to reach Proxima Centauri.

Although the performance cannot be compared with the exhibits collected in the Science and Technology Museum.

But it can create a warp drive.

Xu Lei was already satisfied.

So there's nothing to complain about.

Although it seemed that there was no movement from the perspective of the spacecraft, Xu Lei knew that the Golden Crow had already entered a strange galaxy.

Fortunately, after becoming a mechanical body, the biological dormancy chamber cannot be used.

However, it is still possible to actively enter standby mode.

In order to improve the speed and manufacturing efficiency of the Golden Crow, the size of the spacecraft was like a children's toy compared to the Heavy Cruiser. It was not even as spacious as a landing ship. Although it was larger than the shuttle, it was not enough to provide Xu Lei with a suitable space for activities.

Therefore, when facing a two-year flight, it is better to enter standby mode.

By the time you wake up, you will have reached your destination.

So after Xu Lei set the time, he actively entered the standby state.

…

…

Tuesday, February 14, 2051.

Valentine's Day.

It has been two years since Xu Lei left the solar system.

The Golden Crow finally approached Proxima Centauri.

Since the navigation route has been set in advance, the spacecraft will break away from the light speed state after reaching the corresponding position.

Warp drive stopped.

Prevent accidentally passing by Proxima Centauri.

So when the figure of the Golden Crow appeared in the Proxima Galaxy 4.22 light-years away, at the same time that Xu Lei was actively awakened, a systematic flight report also sounded in the spacecraft control room.

"The spacecraft has exited secondary warp speed."

"Antimatter engine activated."

"The time of this voyage is January 21, 2020, 2 hours, 3 minutes and 45 seconds."

Almost at the moment when the notification sounded, Xu Lei, who looked like a dead body, slowly opened his eyes.

The whole person still looked in high spirits.

It doesn't look like someone who has been sleeping for more than two years.

It can only be said that the mechanical body fused with living metal is indeed very powerful.

If an ordinary human were to perform this task, I am afraid that even if there is a circulatory system on the spacecraft, it would be difficult to adapt in a short period of time.

"This is Proxima Centauri. It's really not as dazzling as the sun!" Xu Lei saw the Proxima Centauri star well known to humans for the first time through the spacecraft, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

The evaluation of it was blurted out.

The surface temperature of Proxima Centauri is much lower than that of the sun, and since it is a red dwarf star, its brightness is weaker.

It doesn't look as bright as the sun.

But Xu Lei soon made a new discovery.

The whole person's attention was focused on the spacecraft screen, and for a while he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, there are actually so many orbiting planets."

According to human observations of Proxima Centauri, only three planets have been discovered.

But when we actually came to Proxima Centauri, we saw that the number of planets was more than that.

At least there are five or six.

But most of the companion stars are dim.

That's why it wasn't discovered.

Originally, the number of planets surrounding Proxima Centauri had nothing to do with Xu Lei.

But since we are looking for the Star Gate, the situation is completely different.

The greater the number of planets, it means that his workload will increase several times.

After all, the space channel star gate that Misti mentioned can only be on a planet, but the specific planet and location are not sure.

In this case, we can only search one by one.

The workload can be imagined.

What's more, the area of ​​some planets is not less than that of the Earth.

However, after finally building the Golden Crow and arriving at Proxima Centauri, it was not Xu Lei's character to give up because of the difficulties he faced.

You have to do it even if it takes a long time to search.

And soon Xu Lei had a goal in mind.

This is a planet with a mass about 1.3 times that of the Earth and a revolution period of about 11 days.

It is 7 million kilometers away from Proxima Centauri.

It should be the most likely planet to harbor life.

Under normal circumstances, star gates will only be built on planets where civilization is located.

As long as it can be confirmed that there were traces of civilization on the planet, there will be a chance to find the star gate.

It can be said that Xu Lei has a clear goal.

You will never rush around like a headless fly, it will only be a waste of time.

"The decision is yours, but don't let me down." After deciding on the first target, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and immediately controlled the spacecraft to fly towards the planet.

——

Maybe this planet is in the habitable zone.

When the spacecraft enters the atmosphere, the temperature detected is quite similar to that of the Earth.

Just looking out through the porthole of the spacecraft, there was no sign of life at all.

Even microorganisms could not be detected.

I have to say that although Xu Lei had already guessed that this would be the case, he still felt a little regretful when he saw it with his own eyes.

This means there is no life present.

So I don't know when I can find the exact location of the Star Gate.

Xu Lei believes that since the star gate is a special space channel that can span tens of thousands of light-years, its essence is similar to a wormhole and should have some special energy fluctuations.

So as soon as Xu Lei entered the planet, he quickly flew the spacecraft over it.

Look for unfamiliar energy fluctuation signals.

Anyway, the antimatter engine of the spacecraft does not need to consider the issue of fuel.

Able to fly without interruption.

In this matter, I have to mention the benefits of mechanical life forms again. At least you don't have to worry about food.

Otherwise, on a strange planet like Proxima Centauri, I am afraid that I will starve to death before I can find the location of the star gate.

Time flies.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

On the planet seven million kilometers away from Proxima Centauri, a figure was seen standing in the middle-eastern part of the planet's surface, looking at the land under his feet very seriously, as if he had discovered something special.

There is no doubt about the owner of this figure.

It was Xu Lei who was looking for the location of the Star Gate.
