"Zhurong" seemed to have entered the black barrier again. The only difference from entering the black barrier before was that although the starlight above, below and on both sides of the spacecraft disappeared, a dense spot of light gathered directly in front.
Yan Shaojun told everyone that the spacecraft should be entering the Oort cloud now. The light spot in front is the "starlight gathering" phenomenon formed when flying at super-light speed. It is impossible for the "Zhurong" to fly at less than super-light speed, so
, she judged that the "marginal space" was helping the spacecraft pass through the Oort cloud through Eisen.
Sitting in her seat, Ding Yushi still couldn't feel the movement of the spacecraft, nor did she experience weightlessness or dizziness. She quietly experienced this super-light shuttle in the universe.
"At this moment, countless stars have passed by us and been left behind by the spacecraft. I can feel... there is life on these stars!" Lawrence closed his eyes and muttered.
"Is there life here?...The radius of the Oort cloud is almost 1 light-year. If there are life forms here, what kind of existence are they?" Gao Tianjun said with emotion.
"Eisen told us that in the 'marginal space', there are not only human beings on Earth, but also human beings on Venus and Martians. They have evolved from primitive life to high-level immortal life in ancient times and migrated here. They once
There were Venusian civilization and Martian civilization, but now they are in ruins. Only the earth is the only planet in the solar system suitable for the reproduction of original life. Venusians, Martians, and later the immortal people on earth jointly established the 'marginal space' here
', They not only survive here, but they also protect our earth and the solar system!" Ding Yushi said.
"Yushi, have you always been able to receive Aisen's thoughts?" Gao Tianjun asked.
"Yes. We are interacting all the time! It's as if he is right next to me at this moment and he can hear everything you all say!"
"The transmission of thoughts is incredible!" Gao Tianjun praised. He suddenly thought of something and asked Lawrence: "Can you and Jacob restore contact now?"
"It can't be done yet!" Lawrence shook his head regretfully. "I'm also very curious as to why Mr. Aisen and Miss Ding Yushi can have mental interactions. Maybe it's because Aisen is in the 'marginal space'..."
"Yushi, please ask Aisen, how long will it take for us to see him?" Yan Shaojun asked.
"Soon! When the spacecraft returns to normal speed, Eisen will give us the coordinates."
"I'm thinking..." Zhang Nan's face was full of sadness, "Even if we can return to the earth, will everything there still be the same as before? Is the 'cloud body' still there?... Although our time here is
It seems like not long ago, but on earth...will many years pass?"
"The earth's time is still synchronized with ours," Ding Yushi said seriously, "but because the 'cloud body' completely blocks the sunlight, it is now in endless darkness!"
The atmosphere inside the spacecraft suddenly became solemn again.
"Damn 'Cloud Body'!" Gao Tianjun cursed.
Under the guidance of Eisen, the "Zhurong" spacecraft began to gradually reduce its speed and shuttled through a space composed of rocks, ice and asteroids. Colorful lights flashed out of the portholes from time to time, which was the friction between the outer shell of the spacecraft and interstellar dust.
The ionization phenomenon formed. Interstellar matter of various shapes is suspended in the surrounding deep space. Some are like bright gems, some are like solidified lava, and some are like smooth pebbles... They are under the gravity of the spacecraft.
Tumbling, spinning, converging, and dissipating into the darkness behind.
Wonderful scenes are also changing in the cabin. Sometimes the magnificent brilliance of the star's surface illuminates the cabin, and sometimes the dim light of the stardust curtain shines on everyone's face...
The "Zhurong" traveled through the wide gap between interstellar matter. The astronauts stared at the screen in the cabin intently, their eyes full of expectation and tenacity. At this moment, in this silent cabin, their heartbeats seemed to
has become the only beat that can be heard...
The Oort cloud, the "marginal space" of the solar system, seems to be telling the crew about the legendary interpretation of the universe, and the crew are also experiencing and witnessing this legend! They can't wait to take pictures and record everything here.
Take it back to earth and tell thousands of people...
A dark shadow appeared in front, and the spacecraft was flying towards it. After a while, the black shadow became clear. It was a huge planet, with several light textures on its dark brown surface.
, there are several much smaller stars surrounding it. Because there is almost no light in this space, those small stars appear to be faintly visible.
"Is that Pluto?" Yan Shaojun said to himself.
"This planet is not Pluto." Ding Yushi replied. "We are still in the Oort Cloud, have not yet entered the Kuiper Belt, and are still far away from Pluto. This planet... it is the 'ninth planet' that humans have been searching for.
!It is the 'ninth planet' of the solar system!"
"'Planet 9'?!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Since Pluto was downgraded to a "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Organization at the beginning of this century, many scientists have always believed that there is a large planet in the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune, and named it "Pla 9" - "Pla 9".
"Nine Planets". However, in the past few decades, no matter how advanced astronomical observation technology is used, people have not been able to see it. So far, it only exists in theoretical deductions in mathematics and astrophysics, so it is full of mystery and mystery.
Weird.
The crew of the "Zhurong" never dreamed that they could witness the existence of this mysterious planet with their own eyes, and that they could observe it with the naked eye at such a close angle!
"We will land on the ninth planet." Ding Yushi reported.
"Why did Aisen bring us here?" Gao Tianjun asked.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Because this is the mother planet of the 'marginal space' civilization." Ding Yushi said.
The spacecraft slowly landed on a plain on this giant planet. The slight impact caused by the landing gear to the hull showed that the surface of this planet is very hard and has a rocky structure.
Looking through the porthole, the stars twinkle in the deep sky and the Milky Way stretches across; the earth's surface is vast and frozen like silver, forming a beautiful and quiet picture.
"The surface temperature outside the cabin is -239°C, the air pressure is 0, and the wind speed is 0." The AI announcement sounded.
"Everyone put on protective clothing and prepare to leave the cabin!" Yan Shaojun ordered.
"Where is Aisen?" Gao Tianjun asked, staring out the window.
"Aisen is outside, he and Ai Bin are waiting for us." Ding Yushi said.
The astronauts walked out of the hatch one after another. Yan Shaojun, who was the first to come out, immediately saw the twin brothers standing more than ten meters away. Because the two looked and were dressed exactly the same, she couldn't tell which one was Ai.
Sen.
Eisen came forward to greet everyone and hugged everyone one by one. "Finally I see you again!" His voice appeared in everyone's mind.
When he finally hugged Ding Yushi, it lasted for a long, long time.
Ai Bin walked over slowly, shook hands with everyone, and conveyed firmness and confidence: "Hello everyone! I am Ai Bin. Welcome to the 'Ninth Planet'! This is not an illusion, you see now
Everything is real. Our meeting here today is an inevitable destiny of mankind. It is also because of the trust you have given to me and Aisen that it is possible for us to fight against the 'Cloud Body' together."
Gao Tianjun scanned the surrounding environment. There was nothing on the frozen surface. He suddenly realized that Aisen and the others were not wearing spacesuits or oxygen helmets. He felt strange and thought to himself: "How can you do this?"
Exposed to this extreme cold? And, is there any air here?"
"There are many things that are difficult for you to understand." Ai Bin replied. "When we get here, we will explain everything to you. Please follow me."
Ai Bin waved his hand, and the ice cap behind him slowly rose, revealing a square door. The astronauts followed him and filed in.
"There is no atmosphere on this planet, and the average surface temperature is below minus 220 degrees Celsius. It is neither suitable for human survival on earth nor for other life forms in the 'marginal space'." Ai Bin told the crew.
Ai Bin took everyone to a suspended capsule-shaped cabin and invited everyone in. The cabin has no windows except the entrance, and the space is not large, about four or five square meters. There are no seats inside, and people can only stand. After the cabin door is closed,
, Ai Bin told everyone that this is the vehicle on the "Ninth Planet", similar to the subway on the earth, which can transport them to any place on the planet.
"Can we take off the oxygen masks now?" Gao Tianjun tried to ask with his mind.
"No. There is still a vacuum here."
"Have we started moving?" Ding Yushi just held Aisen's hand, and she could not feel the movement of this "capsule" at all.
"Yes. We are moving, and very fast."
"Mr. Ai Bin, since this planet is the mother planet of 'marginal space', what kind of people live here? Are there Venusians and Martians?" Gao Tianjun was not sure whether he and Ai Bin could have such an idea.
Interested in the interaction, he continued to ask.
"The earliest pioneers of 'marginal space' were the Venusian people, who have been migrating here for more than 5 million years. The later Martian people have also been here for more than 2 million years - I'm talking about the time relative to the earth. They all have
They are an early intelligent civilization race in the solar system. People on Earth came later, less than 30,000 years ago. We coexist here as equals."
The hatch opened again soon. A beam of yellow light shone in from the outside, coating the astronauts' protective masks with a golden glow.
"We are here." Ai Bin told everyone with his mind, and then turned to Aisen: "Let's go to see grandpa together! You can't wait for a long time!"
"Grandpa is here too?" Eisen was overjoyed.
"Well. I haven't seen him for a long time! Grandpa has always been here. He will answer all your questions."
Eisen and the astronauts on the "Zhurong" met the old man who had been missing for nearly 20 years in a spacious and bright cave in the underground city of "Planet 9".
Ai Wenbo, wearing a white jumpsuit, walked toward them. He had gray hair and a short beard, and looked strong and energetic. On the rock wall and dome behind him, there were countless slender and colorful strips.
The luminous curves are intertwined and flowing, like a panoramic light projection.
"Grandpa!" Aisen rushed forward and hugged the old man tightly, choking and unable to speak.
"Aisen!" Ai Wenbo patted Aisen's back gently, and then looked at the crew of the "Zhurong": "And you, distinguished guests from my hometown! I am very happy to see you here!"
"Hello, Mr. Ai Wenbo!" Gao Tianjun looked at the old man with admiration, "We have heard about you a long time ago, and also heard about Ai Bin. It is both rare and magical to see you today! However, I don't know what to do.
Express your thoughts..."
"I know what you want to say. This is also what we are worried about. Although we have not found a feasible solution yet, we are the masters here after all! I think there are many things that you need to understand again. Whether we can
If you survive this disaster, you should at least leave no regrets in the history of human civilization!"
Gao Tianjun and others pondered Ai Wenbo's words.
"The solar system is not what humans see," Ai Wenbo continued. "Human beings only see its appearance and do not understand its essence. The laws of the universe that humans have derived through observation and deduction actually have congenital flaws.
.You are the first batch of ordinary humans to witness the existence of Planet Nine and land on this sacred and great planet. You are also the first batch of ordinary humans to leave the borders of the solar system and gaze at the majestic Oort Cloud from distant space.
Human beings - even the immortal people in the 'marginal space' have not yet achieved this. You are all the lucky chosen ones! Your personal experiences are enough to shorten the evolution of human civilization by hundreds of years, or even thousands of years!"
"But we don't yet know what we've been through..."
"This is the truth about the universe that I am going to tell you next! This truth will subvert all your previous perceptions, but it is absolutely true! Please remember that the universe is a cycle of all things!"
