Earth Era

"Did you encounter an asteroid?" Wei Feng asked with some confusion: "Please tell me, what was the distance between us and the sun when you encountered it?"

"It's about 1.5 trillion kilometers away." Ye Luo replied.

"Is it a distance of 1.5 trillion kilometers..." Wei Feng murmured and repeated this number, feeling a little confused in his heart, "When you discovered it, what was its speed and what was its orbital period? Perihelion and aphelion Have you calculated it yet?"

"I can't completely confirm these things, but based on rough calculations based on the data obtained so far, it does not seem to orbit the sun. It has an extremely flat orbit relative to the sun, so its final outcome is not To hit the sun directly is to fly close to the sun and then return to deep space, leaving the solar system and never coming back."

Hearing Ye Luo's answer, Wei Feng felt a little disappointed. Because if it is determined through calculation that this irregular asteroid is orbiting the sun, then a lot of things can be analyzed through its such a distant orbit. If it can be determined that it comes from a place tens of thousands of astronomical units away from the sun, the existence of the Oort cloud will be confirmed - don't forget, even now, human civilization has not observed or acquired any Oort cloud As a celestial body, the Oort cloud is still a concept that only exists in speculation.

If the Oort cloud is indeed confirmed, it will be a huge astronomical discovery. And if this asteroid only accidentally came to the solar system from other star systems due to gravitational disturbances, its value, although still extremely high, would be much lower than it might have been before.

But this adds a bit of mystery to this asteroid. A small, dark and cold celestial body spent hundreds of millions of years traveling from a distant unknown star system to the solar system across an unknown distance of light years. And according to Ye Luo, Some "extraordinary things" were found on it, so... what are these things?

In response to this question, Ye Luo replied: "You will know after you see it with your own eyes. Do you have enough physical strength now?"

Since Ye Luo asked this question, it's clear. What was discovered in that irregular asteroid was really important, so important that if Wei Feng had enough physical strength at this moment. Then you should check it out immediately.

Of course, in Ye Luo's judgment system, although that thing was important, it was not important enough to wake Wei Feng midway. Otherwise, Wei Feng should have woken up a few years ago.

Wei Feng said: "I have nothing to do. I'm going to take a look at that thing now."

"Okay, I've put them in the vacuum-sealed box. You can go there and have a look."

The vacuum seal box is a specially designed analytical device that is sealed by six pieces of glass. There are two openings on one of the glasses, and two special sealing plastic gloves are connected there. Wei Feng can pass through those two openings and use sealed plastic gloves to directly operate things obtained from irregular asteroids in a vacuum environment.

With the assistance of a push-cart robot, it took Wei Feng more than ten minutes to reach the vacuum-sealed box. All the interstellar dust material obtained from the irregular asteroid has been placed there. It was some space dust and other materials, scattered and piled there like a pile of sand. There are things that look like ice crystals in the sand. I don’t know if they are water ice or something.

Ye Luo said: "The vacuum-sealed boxes maintain an environment that is almost the same as in space. I have tried my best to preserve their original appearance."

Wei Feng heard Ye Luo's words. But Wei Feng did not make any response. The moment before he came to the vacuum sealed box, Wei Feng was attracted by a strange thing inside. That thing seemed to have huge magic power, and it instantly locked Wei Feng's sight. Let Wei Feng's eyes not leave for a moment.

"You can guarantee that... this thing was really discovered by you from an irregular asteroid that is 1.5 trillion kilometers away from the sun. It comes from nowhere in the universe?" Wei Wei Feng asked somewhat sluggishly.

"You know me, I never lie." Ye Luo replied.

Ye Luo is an artificial intelligence program, and of course it cannot lie. Wei Feng asked this question completely subconsciously. As soon as he said this question, Wei Feng realized his mistake.

Wei Feng slowly walked to the vacuum sealed box, put his hand into his glove, picked up the thing through the glove, and then looked at it carefully.

It was something like a black piece of iron, slightly curved. The edges are irregular. It is about five centimeters in length and about three centimeters at its widest point. Wei Feng gently wiped away the debris on it. Its original brilliance of pale silver is revealed.

There is no doubt that this is a fragment, and an extremely strong fragment at that. Such fragments can only be produced through extremely high-tech means, and now...it has been discovered from such an asteroid that doesn't know where it came from. What does this mean?

This seems to mean a very simple thing, that is, there is a very high-tech civilization deep in the unknown universe. For unknown reasons, they lost this fragment to this asteroid. For unknown reasons, this asteroid left its original place, and after a long journey through the universe, it finally came to the solar system, met the Xinghai spacecraft, and finally appeared in front of Wei Feng.

Wei Feng hesitated and asked Ye Luo: "During the time I was asleep, we still haven't discovered any extraterrestrial civilization, right?"

Ye Luo replied: "Yes. At least in my database, I can't find any evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization. Our human civilization has never found evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization."

"So... we have now found evidence of the existence of alien civilization." Wei Feng murmured while holding the fragment, "This is the most powerful evidence that no one can overturn."

"Maybe that's the case. But I think we should analyze it and the remains of these asteroids as soon as possible to determine its formation age, material composition, etc." Ye Luo said.

"Okay, I'll analyze it right now. Come and help me." Wei Feng replied.

With the help of Ye Luo, Wei Feng used various scientific instruments to conduct the most detailed examination of these things. Test results show that the unknown fragment was created approximately 500 to 600 million years ago - this can be determined by measuring the decay of the elements that make up it. And through analysis of stress and other means, Wei Feng determined that it was torn off from a larger object after receiving an extremely violent impact.

"When it was first manufactured, its strength was very high. Its material properties were even better than the anti-impact armor of our Xinghai spacecraft. This side of it has a very weak ability to react with oxygen. There are no signs on the other side, which indicates that this piece of material has been in contact with oxygen or oxygen-containing gas on one side for a long time, and on the other side in contact with the vacuum of space. This seems to imply that it is the external armor of a spacecraft, and it is also extremely It most likely implies that the civilized creatures that made this piece of material also need oxygen to survive. At the same time, the instrument test results show that the reason why it was torn out was because the side that was in contact with the oxygen-containing gas was extremely violent. The impact of high temperature and heat eliminates the possibility of tearing caused by external impact. I think it is most likely that the impact force caused by the internal explosion of the spacecraft tore it apart."

Wei Feng was like a detective, analyzing a lot of things through some extremely weak signs on this fragment. In Wei Feng's description, Wei Feng roughly restored the origin of this fragment.

It presumably comes from the outer armor of a spaceship. Because of an explosion from inside the spacecraft, it was torn off and splashed into space, and was eventually embedded in the asteroid. After another 500 to 600 million years, it was finally discovered by itself. and came into his own hands.

Wei Feng was not sure that his speculation was completely correct. What Wei Feng made was only the most likely speculation. Of course, some accidental possibilities cannot be ruled out. For example, it is actually a fragment of a vacuum sealing device. In this way, it may also be exposed to oxygen and vacuum on one side, but the side that touches the vacuum becomes the inside. For another example, there is a slight possibility that the impact of a meteorite will cause it to receive force from the inside and then be torn apart. It does not necessarily require an explosion from the inside. But these possibilities were much smaller, so Wei Feng finally chose his previous speculation.

Wei Feng believed that he had previously speculated that the newness would be at least 60%.

If it were just like this, there would be nothing difficult for Wei Feng to accept. After all, the universe is too mysterious, and no one can guarantee that there is not an ultra-high-tech alien civilization in some corner of the universe. However, further testing of the asteroid's material gave Wei Feng a somewhat bizarre answer.

"Captain, the test results tell me that through detailed examination of the material composition of this asteroid, I have come to the conclusion that the probability that this asteroid was formed in the solar system is as high as 82%. Because of its material The composition is very similar to the material composition in our solar system." Ye Luo said quietly, "It may have come from the Oort cloud to the inner solar system."
