"Report, Xiongfeng 53 has successfully reached the interior of Proxima Centauri and has exited the transition state."
Ma Wu quickly clicked on the holographic projection, and a brand new and unfamiliar galaxy appeared in front of him. The red dwarf main sequence star in it was the Proxima Centauri galaxy (Southgate 2c).
There is also a giant Jupiter-like planet, three Earth-like planets, a dwarf planet, and two asteroid belts.
Under the powerful dark wave radar detection, the entire Proxima Centauri galaxy was completely displayed in front of everyone, and the two locations with flashing red light spots were the locations of the Xiongfeng 53 detector and Explorer 2.
The Xiongfeng 53 probe is currently in orbit in the inner asteroid belt of the Proxima Centauri galaxy, while Explorer 2 is rapidly approaching the Proxima Centauri galaxy.
"The first orbiting planet, Proxima Centauri B, is an Earth-like planet with a radius of about 4,300 kilometers and no natural satellites..."
"The second orbiting planet, Proxima Centauri C, is a Jupiter-like planet with a radius..."
As more detailed information was transmitted, Ma Wu focused on the detection of gravitational waves around the Proxima Centauri galaxy.
From the gravitational field star map just generated, in addition to the gravitational depression area produced by Proxima Centauri, gravitational depression areas were also found on the two stars Procyon a and Procyon b not far from Proxima Centauri.
The gravitational depression area is the heavy gravity area caused by the massive planet. On the gravitational field star map, it appears as a depression in space. The greater the mass of the planet, the larger the gravitational depression area it will cause.
"Investigate whether there is an obvious gravitational depression in the void between Proxima Centauri and Procyon a and Procyon b." Ma Wu ordered.
"Okay." The radar soldier quickly started supercomputer analysis and conducted a comprehensive gravitational field analysis on the void between Proxima Centauri and Procyon a and Procyon b.
Explorer 2 is still in transition flight.
Galaxy Year 6, August 29th.
"Report, three suspected target areas were discovered in the void between Proxima Centauri and Procyon a and Procyon b."
"Three?"
Ma Wujiang's star map is partially enlarged. Three red crosses are flashing on the star map. Area 1 is obviously a high-quality iron-nickel asteroid; area 2 is a planetary debris. This planet may have been destroyed by the Nanhe River.
The gravity of area 2a or Procyon 2b is torn apart; area 3 is in a weird gravitational state.
The gravity around Area 3 is very normal, but there is a gravitational hole with a radius of 8,000 kilometers in the middle. The gravity there is very small, less than one percent of the gravitational constant of the universe.
Fang Haibo took a glance: "It seems that the place we want to find the natural wormhole is in area three."
"It's only 5.3 units away from Proxima Centauri, but the two stars Procyon are a problem." Ma Wu said, touching his chin.
"It is indeed a trouble. Judging from the data fed back by the Xiongfeng 53 detector in the past few days, the two stars Procyon ab are very violent, and stellar storms and high-energy particle eruptions are almost normal." Fang Haibo pointed to some data and said.
"Furthermore, apart from a large number of asteroids, no large planets have been found in the Procyon ab main galaxy. It seems that it was torn and destroyed by gravity. Let's focus on the Proxima Centauri galaxy!" Ma Wu was also very helpless. This is a double star.
Or the horror of triple stars.
Once it is confirmed that it is a binary star or a triple star, it can basically be regarded as a lifeless galaxy.
"Captain, where will our anchorage be?" Masayoshi Kobayashi turned his head and asked.
Ma Wu knocked on the table and looked through the four planets in the Proxima Centauri system. After excluding the first-orbiting planets, he finally decided on the second-orbiting planet, Proxima Centauri C. The anchorage was on a natural satellite of Proxima Centauri C.
Proxima Centauri C is a typical gaseous planet, only about a quarter of the size of Jupiter. It has 11 natural satellites. Ma Wu chose one of the geologically stable rocky satellites with a radius of about 910 kilometers.
"Just this satellite."
"OK."
Masayoshi Kobayashi set the anchorage and revised the jump destination of Explorer 2.
In a dim starry sky, the Explorer twisted space and moved forward alone. The stars served as guiding lights, cutting through the gravitational waves.
Perhaps they were used to loneliness, or they insisted on their ideals, or they enjoyed the excitement of adventure. With various ideas in mind, they embarked on a journey to the stars and the sea.
The faster-than-light voyage has accelerated the pace of human development. It is these human pioneers who have opened up territories for human civilization and gained a broader living space for human beings.
After Ma Wu wrote down his diary for the day, he stretched and stood up. The cabin was still calm and calm, but outside there was a distorted space and a vast expanse of white.
The time that has passed can never be returned, and it is impossible to go back to the places we have traveled. Time makes it impossible for everything to stand still. Perhaps the moment the universe ends is the moment the universe is born.
Galaxy Year 6, September 7th.
In the void 15 units above the small Jupiter (Proxima Centauri C), ripples suddenly appeared in the space. After 51 days of transition flight, Explorer 2 finally reached the interior of Proxima Centauri.
Now Explorer 2 can only use the photon engine to move forward. The distance of 15 units is only about 7 hours for a gamma-level photon engine that reaches 30% of the speed of light.
Ma Wu ordered: "Go to the destination at full speed."
"yes."
Since Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star, its gravity is not as strong as that of the sun, and its planets orbit relatively close to the main sequence stars. For example, small Jupiter is only 1.9 units away from Proxima Centauri.
Through the cabin window, Ma Wu could see a red ball of light in the void not far away. The light of Proxima Centauri was not as strong as the sun, and it looked like a salted duck egg yolk.
The scientific researchers on board the ship are also observing Proxima Centauri. This is the first time for them to emit stars so close to the sun. Judging from the monitoring data of the Xiongfeng 53 detector, the stellar activity of Proxima Centauri is relatively stable and it is a low-helium star.
Stars have at least hundreds of billions of years left to live, which is longer than the sun.
Seven hours later, Explorer 2 was safely parked on the small moon of Jupiter.
Ma Wu immediately ordered: "Zhengyi, you are responsible for spreading protons into the Proxima Galaxy."
"OK."
"Hai Bo, let's build a base here together."
"no problem."
Masayoshi Kobayashi activated the particle emitter and fired protons in all directions of the Proxima Centauri galaxy.
Fang Haibo activated the electromagnetic gun and drove a ring-shaped tree seed directly into the satellite - New Rock Star. The ring-shaped tree seed entered the underground rock formation and then grew crazily.
Soon a layer of silvery white covered an area with a radius of 5 kilometers, and then Ma Wu operated Explorer 2 to land. Engineering robots filed out one after another, and the condensed matter crusher dug tunnels and cabins inside the ring-shaped tree.
This kind of construction engineering method is standardized, and warehouses, communication stations, radar stations, factories, living areas, etc. are quickly formed, as well as weapons and equipment arranged.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Ma Wu was about to go to the ground base to take a look.
"Captain, there's a situation!" Masayoshi Kobayashi suddenly shouted.
