The Centauri galaxy is 4.3 light-years away from the solar system.
The Centauri Galaxy is a very peculiar planetary system, of course this is compared to the solar system, because the Centauri Galaxy is a triple galaxy planetary system.
It has two large stars and one small star. Centauri a and Centauri b are the two more massive stars. Centauri c is the smallest of the three stars and the closest to the earth.
One, generally we call it Proxima Centauri, which means the star closest to the sun.
The solar system only has one star, the sun, in the core, while the Centauri galaxy has three stars. This is the strange thing about the Centaur galaxy.
Although the universe is vast and vast, most planetary systems are basically single stars, and a few have double stars. These three-star planetary systems are very rare.
This is a bit like giving birth to a child. Basically, one is born at a time. A few are twins. The probability of triplets is very, very small. And the Centauri galaxy is a triplet planetary system in the universe. If
If you understand it, you will know how rare these three-star planetary systems are.
In the void leading from the Centaur Galaxy to the solar system, a cosmic ship has been flying in this dark void for almost 50 years relying heavily on inertia.
Fifty years, a full half century, has almost passed from birth to old age for a person. In the vast void of the universe, time is really, really long.
"Didi~Didi~"
There is no pattern imprinted on the outer shell of this spaceship, and the spacecraft is also pitch black. After fifty years, its outer shell is still covered with a large amount of cosmic dust, making it look like it has gone through a long period of time.
The incomparable years show all the vicissitudes of life.
Inside the spacecraft, most of the instruments have been turned off and have gone into sleep. Only the core computer that controls the spacecraft is still running, and it has been running for almost fifty years.
"About to arrive at the Centauri Galaxy, wake up automatically~"
The spacecraft has the most accurate clock made of cesium atoms with an atomic weight of 133, and the spacecraft will automatically contact Mars every few years to verify the time.
Now that the time has arrived, and we are about to arrive in the Centaur galaxy, the computer on the spacecraft automatically begins to wake up all the functional modules on the spacecraft.
"Hmph~"
On the spacecraft, the first thing to start up was the nuclear fusion reactor on the spacecraft. With the startup of the nuclear fusion reactor, huge energy began to be released continuously. The spacecraft started to change like a robot that had been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years.
The lights turned on.
Here at the Extraordinary Shell, with the awakening of the spacecraft, the cosmic dust attached to the Extraordinary Shell was shaken and began to break away one after another, returning to the void of the universe.
Mechanical watches first stretched out from inside the spacecraft, and then various detectors flipped out from the inside of the spacecraft, including electromagnetic wave receivers, ray detectors, red shift detectors, cosmic astronomical telescopes, etc., all kinds of detection instruments.
These detectors are all high-precision things. If they are kept outside the universe, they will be greatly affected if they are contaminated by some cosmic dust. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, these detectors can be taken into the universe.
inside the spaceship.
“Didi~Didi~contact the base camp~”
In the spacecraft, under the control of the computer, the spacecraft began to use the quantum communication equipment on the spacecraft to contact the solar system base camp to make a detailed report on various situations on the spacecraft.
Quantum communication theoretically ignores distance limitations. No matter how far the distance is, quantum communication can achieve real-time communication without any delay.
If it is electromagnetic wave communication, if electromagnetic waves are emitted from Centauri to the solar system, it will take more than 4 years to reach the solar system, and a round-trip information exchange will take almost 9 years.
And this is still an ideal state. The emitted electromagnetic waves can be received by the solar system. However, as this electromagnetic wave propagates in the void, it will become weaker and weaker. In the end, it is very likely that the solar system will not be able to receive it at all.
of electromagnetic waves.
In the same way, if you want to receive the electromagnetic waves sent by the solar system here in the Centaur Galaxy, it will be very difficult. It is very difficult. Electromagnetic waves are only suitable for short-distance communication. Once designed into the interstellar universe, electromagnetic wave communication technology will be
It seems quite weak.
On Mars in the solar system, the Xinghan Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy has built a huge space city in the outer space of Mars. It contains a variety of advanced research equipment, including many specialized ultra-large-diameter cosmic astronomical telescopes.
For these spacecrafts launched around the solar system decades ago, astronomy scientists here have always been responsible for tracking and contacting them.
"Didi~Didi~"
"Received the signal from spacecraft No. 001 and started receiving information~"
In the center responsible for tracking and liaison, with the sound of waves, the cosmic astronomy scientists here began to be busy.
"Finally there is news about it. It should arrive in the Centauri galaxy by calculation."
Soon, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, the two heads of the Xinghan Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy, hurried over and became extremely excited.
The universe is really too big. Even though the cosmic telescopes built by scientists are getting bigger and bigger, the universe that can be observed is getting wider and wider.
But so far, humans still know very, very little about the world outside the solar system, because this cosmic astronomical telescope can only observe those shining stars, which means that it can only observe the universe.
among the stars.
Using these observed images, scientists can also calculate the existence of neutron stars, black holes, etc. However, scientists still know nothing about whether there is life in other planetary systems or whether there are living planets.
Now that the uncontrolled spacecraft is finally arriving in the Centauri galaxy, scientists are naturally excited, and as the news spreads, more and more scientists are gathering.
There are scientists who study biological sciences. They want to come over to see if there are any alien civilizations in the Centauri galaxy. Although the Centauri galaxy is a triple galaxy, it is very chaotic compared to the solar system. Scientists have already known about it.
It is predicted that life cannot be born here, let alone the existence of cosmic civilization.
However, biological scientists have discovered life in many places in the solar system, which proves that life must exist widely in the universe. It is very likely that life will exist in the Centauri galaxy, and civilization may even be born.
Scientists who study physics came over. They wanted to see the situation here in the Centauri Galaxy so that they could get some inspiration in physical research.
Scientists studying chemistry also came here, and they felt that there would definitely be new chemical discoveries in the Centauri galaxy.
Even scientists studying communication technology came over. They wanted to see whether the electromagnetic waves emitted from Mars a few years ago had reached the Centauri galaxy and whether the spacecraft had received it.
In short, the scientific research institutes of the entire empire are in a state of excitement. Private spaceships are constantly resisting this huge space city, all wanting to know the situation in the Centauri galaxy as soon as possible.
Even Qin Yi had nothing to do. He put down his work and ran over with his two followers, Lu Qingwei and Liu Peiqiang.
For the first time, human beings can truly and accurately understand and know the situation of the neighboring planet system. This is a major event that will be recorded in history. No one will want to miss this moment.
