On July 8, 0463 of the New Human Calendar, after more than two hundred years of interstellar navigation, the Deep Space was approximately 0.13 light-years away from Auriga.
The spacecraft was staying in the void for its last routine inspection. Almost everyone woke up from their hibernation cabins and curiously looked at the ordinary star in front of them through the glass.
A group of young men and women were in the observatory, yelling at the stars in the sky.
"Aha!"
"The man-horse cantilever, here is the man-horse cantilever, here we come!"
"Here we come! Ah——"
The first cantilever-level starry sky roaming of the new human civilization has finally been completed. This is a great milestone.
The voyage of more than two hundred years is really too long. Although the time everyone feels has been greatly shortened by the hibernation cabin, it still feels long.
"The number of turns in the process was more than 200! It has been nearly eighty years since the enemy's planetary spacecraft was detected. We finally got rid of the enemy completely."
"Look, it's a meteorite! It's a meteorite!"
The observatory detected a small meteorite with a diameter of 20 meters, with a mass of tens of thousands of tons, passing by a million kilometers away. This time it was a serious iron meteorite, with a speed of about 47 kilometers per second.
.
Seeing that red dot in the radar, some people even burst into tears with excitement. After so many years, people finally saw matter!
The great sense of security brought by material things was immediately brought up by this meteorite. It was sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, and the five flavors were mixed and indescribable. So many people stopped yelling when they saw the meteorite.
Instead, he stayed in a daze quietly, feeling the taste in his heart.
However, people did not choose to capture them aggressively.
Because everyone knows that there is a large amount of matter in the Auriga Star Territory.
A lot!
The vast fear of facing the endless universe was finally warmed by a star.
Even Yu Yifeng felt waves of relief.
When he first started escaping, the supply warehouse was full and piled up like mountains, giving him the feeling that he would never run out of supplies.
And now... Well, let's not talk about it. Even the maintenance of Yuyan's troops in the later period is very careful, saving a little bit. He even doubts whether these spaceships can still fly normally...
All in all, humans are still holding on!
"This will become our paradise. I plan to use all the remaining space of the Noah! This way we can store more and more materials... and build a new generation of motherships!"
Taking advantage of this period, astronomers also started busy work. They were excited and excited, but the routine safety work must continue.
According to current scientific and technological detection methods, the approximate planetary data of 0.13 light-years can already be measured.
Auriga is a dwarf yellow star with a mass of 98.9% of the sun. It is about 4.53 billion years old and its luminous intensity is not much different from that of the sun.
"Does the Sower civilization know about the solar system?"
Facing this data, Yu Yifeng held his chin in thought.
In the universe, almost every star is accompanied by a planet. But it has to be said that such a dwarf yellow star is the best place to breed life. It has moderate light intensity and moderate gravity, and can be stable and safe for a long time.
The ground shines.
If it is a red dwarf star, the luminous intensity is too weak, the surrounding planets are generally cold, and only very close places can get enough light.
However, the mass of red dwarfs is small, and nuclear fusion is unstable. Large-scale flares are produced from time to time, accompanied by large amounts of radiation. Planets that are too close to red dwarfs generally have no atmosphere, because all these gases are blown away by the solar wind.
If it is a blue dwarf star like Sirius, the luminous intensity is too strong, and the lifespan of such a massive star is generally short, only about a billion years.
During such a period of time, the star often burns out before it can give birth to large-scale life. After the death of the blue dwarf, a supernova explosion may even occur, swallowing up all the surrounding planets.
Therefore, yellow dwarfs are the main home of life.
There are about seven major massive planets in Auriga, which are simply named "Auriga 1", "Auriga 2"... and "Auriga 7".
"Auriga 1" is an extremely hot planet, as big as Mars, with almost no atmosphere, and the average surface temperature is estimated to be more than 300 degrees...
When people observed "Aviator 2", they were stunned.
Oh my God, one...
A blue planet!
The astronomy professor rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Is it so similar? "Auriga 2" is only about 1 astronomical unit from the star, which is about the same position as the earth. It is completely a blue planet full of water resources.
"The surface...is filled with oxygen!"
The only difference is... there are two satellites around it, one large and one small.
This sapphire-like color made everyone at the observatory slightly open their mouths, not to mention shocked.
Of course, many people here have never witnessed the real Earth, they have only seen it from some photos.
"It seems, really similar to the earth..."
It's strange that although my heart is full of surprises, I am not as excited as I was when I first met "Dige 114". Even the first generation of Noah was like this. They just looked at it excitedly.
looking at... looking at...
Yu Yifeng thought for a while, after so many years of interstellar travel, the desire to "go home" has gradually diminished, and people regard the Noah as their home.
This is a wonderful psychological change.
"Is this the reminder given to us by the Sower Civilization? What is inside? Aboriginal civilization?" People looked at the blue planet with interest and kept talking.
Full of various hopes, Yu Yifeng immediately convened a major meeting after all the astronomical data came out.
"...Construction, exploration, and development are our themes this time. The above seven planets are the astronomy reports we got."
Yu Yifeng was explaining on the stage, and behind him, the virtual imaging system clearly simulated the conditions of all planets.
There are seven planets lined up in a row, with different sizes. The four in the front are all terrestrial planets, the three in the back are gas planets, and one is even bigger than Jupiter.
In addition to Auriga 1 and Auriga 2, Auriga 3 is an Earth-like planet with a high gravity. Its surface is filled with various acidic gases and the environment is extremely harsh.
"So... I suggest that we should choose Auriga 4 as the first main base instead of the blue Auriga 2. Because Auriga 2 is a planet full of life at first glance. Although it is similar to... our previous earth
It looks very similar, but it's not the Earth after all. The microbial environment inside is too troublesome for us. Well... there is a high probability that there is life."
The speaker was Wang Yufan, a member of the think tank. It was obvious that he had done enough homework and elaborated on this issue from a very objective perspective.
"Auriga 4 is a cold planet. Its gravity is only one-third of the Earth's gravity. It is similar to Mars and is very suitable for industrial development. Moreover, we have discovered a large number of ice minerals on this planet, which can fully meet our needs.
The urgent need for water resources…
"...We also need ice to cool industrial environments."
"For the cold Auriga 4, the probability of gestating life is low. If it is indeed confirmed that there is no life inside, that would be great. The minerals in it can be dug up and used, and there is no need for disinfection or the like.
The steps... are simple and trouble-free..."
"I'm sorry, everyone, I really can't imagine what advantages Auriga 2 has over Auriga 4... In addition to life, this blue planet may also have indigenous people, but that's it. From an industrial point of view, there is no
It is suitable for development. It would be good to do some scientific research and travel in the past, but it can be used as an industrial base..."
