In the pitch-black void, the Zhengtu was like a small firefly, blooming with a faint light that could only illuminate a small area, and the areas slightly further away were still pitch black.
In this place far away from the stars, the void is dark, cold, and deathly silent. Only the starlight from the depths of the universe appears so bright.
On top of the Zhengtu spacecraft.
"Tsk tsk~"
"This should be regarded as the Oort cloud belt. The abundance of matter in the universe is beyond imagination."
Cosmic Astronomy Scientists Group Here, many cosmic astronomy scientists are extremely busy.
Calculate the location of the spacecraft, detect the situation in the surrounding void, and at the same time find ways to send messages back to the solar system, report its position and situation to the solar system, etc., a series of tasks to be done, and it is very busy.
Xia Zhigang's eyes began to shine as he looked at the data in the computer.
The material in the Oort cloud belt is so rich that it far exceeds scientists' previous estimates. Compared with this place, the asteroid belt is like a barren desert and not worth mentioning.
"Tsk tsk, look, look, any of the asteroids here have a mass of several billion tons or tens of billions of tons, and they generally contain a large amount of metal."
"The asteroid QS23945 that has been transformed is estimated to contain at least several billion tons of gold, and the asteroid that has been transformed into UD23558 contains more than 30 billion tons of copper. Such huge resources are simply
It’s appalling, this place is like a treasure house, with mountains of gold and silver lying there.”
Ouyang Fei also followed up and said that mining asteroids is now a very promising industry, but asteroids in the solar system generally weigh tens, millions, or hundreds of millions of tons.
The asteroids in the Oort cloud belt are not only massive, but also contain a large amount of metals, copper, iron, gold and silver. They are found everywhere. If any asteroid is transported to the earth, it will be worth thousands.
Billions, trillions.
"After all, it is the residual material that formed the star. The total amount of material in the entire special cloud belt may reach more than half of the mass of the sun. This is the area belonging to the solar placenta. The nebula material in the interstellar universe is constantly gathering under the strong gravitational pull of the star.
Come here and naturally this treasure land will be formed.”
Xia Zhigang nodded and said.
On the other side, scientists and engineers once again inspected the warp engine, nuclear fusion reactor, and important core areas on the spacecraft to prepare for the next warp flight.
"It was an incredible warp speed flight. According to the time display, we flew a distance of 0.5 light-years in less than 10 minutes."
Here at the control command center, Li Chun was sighing at the magic of warp speed. He looked at the dark void outside and thought about where he was in the solar system a few minutes ago. Now he was at 0.5 light.
The distant void beyond the years.
"Perhaps we may have spent more than 10 minutes, or it may have been many years. It's hard to say."
Wang Wei thought for a while and said.
"Why do you say that?"
When the others heard this, they quickly asked.
"Although our spacecraft carries a dozen tools for calculating time, such as ordinary mechanical clocks, electronic clocks, atomic seeds, and even the most primitive hourglass timepiece, all the clocks show that we only spent
It traveled a distance of 0.5 light-years in less than 10 minutes."
"But it is very likely that we also spent many years. This seems to be less than 10 minutes. It may have passed for many years. According to the theory of space-time relativity, the speed of light cannot be surpassed. Let's take a look
If the particle reaches such a long distance, time must be calculated according to the speed of light."
"Maybe we did reach such a long distance and it felt like it took less than 10 minutes, but the real time may have passed a long time ago."
"The only way to determine the time now is to contact the earth and ask the time here on the earth."
Wang Wei tried his best to explain the theory that no one could hear.
"Contact Earth?"
"Without quantum communication, relying on our existing communication technology, it would take half a year for our signal to be transmitted to the Earth, and it would have to be received by the Earth's receiver."
When Sun Zilong heard this, he immediately shrugged helplessly and said.
"I don't understand those of you who study physics. It's obviously less than 10 minutes. You have to talk about the theory of space-time relativity here. It's still interesting to study biology. Hurry up and continue on your way. Arrive at the Ross Galaxy as soon as possible. I can't wait to study it.
A creature of the new world.”
Zheng Yuan felt a slight pain in his head after listening to it. People engaged in physics research are so verbose, just like Schrödinger's cat. Listening to it gives people a headache, but studying biology is still interesting.
Life is colorful, and the world of genes is as vast as the ocean.
"Report~"
At this time, Shi Kai came to Li Chun and said: "The spacecraft has been inspected and there are no problems. Please give instructions!"
"Um!"
"Prepare to continue warp flight!"
Li Chun nodded and ordered.
The spacecraft has been parked in this void for several hours, spreading a large number of detectors and monitoring systems into the surrounding void, and also emitting powerful electromagnetic wave signals in the direction of the earth in the solar system.
According to the plan, as long as there are no problems with the spacecraft, they need to continue flying to the Ross galaxy and strive to reach the Ross galaxy as soon as possible.
"yes!"
Shi Kai quickly replied.
Soon, the Zhengtu spacecraft became busy again, and everyone quickly returned to their posts to prepare for the next warp flight.
This time, it is not only as simple as exploring a new world, but also with the mission of testing the Zhengtu spacecraft, testing the warp engine, and exploring the interstellar universe. There is still a lot to do.
After arriving in the Ross Galaxy, we still need to look for life planets. If there are no life planets, we may need to fly to other galaxies to find life planets.
The reason why scientists first chose to go to the Ross Galaxy was a decision made after repeated consideration.
First of all, the star of the Ross Galaxy, Ross Star, is a yellow dwarf star like the sun, a main sequence star, and its mass is about the same size, and its age is also about the same.
This means that it is very possible to find a life planet similar to the Earth on the Ross Star, and the similar stellar environment is more stable and can be better adapted to.
Secondly, the most important thing is because Liu Yuan also supports going to the Ross Galaxy. Liu Yuan, who has the inheritance seed, has naturally explored the situation around the solar system early and knew in advance that there is a life planet similar to the earth in the Ross Galaxy.
.
As for other galaxies around the solar system, some have living planets, but they are quite different from the earth. Some rotate faster than the earth, with only 12 hours in a day. Some have much greater gravity than the earth, twice as much as the earth.
Some ecological environments are average, with oxygen content much less than that of the earth, etc.
In short, living planets are not uncommon, but there are relatively few living planets similar to the earth. There is a living planet in the Ross galaxy with an environment similar to the earth, and there are two living planets in the Ross galaxy.
The relationship between these two living planets is like the relationship between the Earth and Mars. One is like the Earth and the other is more like Mars. But what is different from Mars is that although the environment of this planet is harsher, it is
Water resources are extremely abundant and of greater quality, so they breed a lot of life.
There are two living planets in a galaxy, one of which is similar to the Earth. Of course Liu Yuan chose to go to the Ross Galaxy. There are very, very few good places like this.
"boom!"
The Zhengtu spacecraft once again activated its powerful nuclear fusion reactor. As the nuclear fusion reactor began to produce huge amounts of energy, ripples began to appear in the surrounding void.
In the void leading to the Rose Galaxy, waves of fluctuations spread toward the depths of the void. The fluctuations in the space became more and more violent and began to fold continuously.
Soon, the huge Zhengtu spacecraft once again turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the dark and cold void. The surrounding void gradually subsided and became dead silent again, just like the past long years, without any fluctuations.
Only the detectors left in the surrounding void are still continuously collecting information in the void, and then continuously sending it back in the direction of the earth.
A few minutes later, in the same dark void, a stream of light flashed over, revealing the huge figure of the Zhengtu. On the brightly lit Zhengtu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.
This time the warp flight was still very successful. They successfully arrived in the void 0.5 light-years away, and nothing happened on the spacecraft.
Still the same as the first time, a large number of detectors were spread out in all directions for free. Scientists were busy calculating the location of the spacecraft, while engineers were busy checking the spacecraft's warp engine, nuclear fusion reactor, etc.
