Earth Era

At this moment when it was confirmed that a new civilization had arrived and had a war with the Martian civilization, Wei Feng suddenly thought of something he had ignored before. Wei Feng immediately raised this question: "Ye Luo...you think, given the situation that the Martian civilization was in after its long journey, do they...have the strength to launch a large-scale war?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Ye Luo said, "How big is the scale?"

"It's big enough to leave a lot of debris in the Nanmen II galaxy. There are so many debris that we found it five times in nearly twenty years..." Wei Feng said.

With the Xinghai spacecraft equipped with extremely high-performance detection instruments, such debris has been discovered five times in more than 20 years and a voyage of more than one trillion kilometers. This does not seem to be surprising. After all, the original Martian civilization brought all the remaining power of the entire civilization to the Nanmen II system. It seems understandable that so many fragments are left behind.

It's just that... one thing is overlooked in this description, and that is the vastness of space. The universe is so vast that you can't feel anything when you don't think about it carefully. As long as you think about it a little more carefully, you will feel that this situation is unusual.

To put it simply, the Xinghai spacecraft discovered this kind of debris five times during this period of time and during this voyage, which means that there must be many debris scattered within a range of more than one trillion kilometers around the Nanmen Twin Stars. Lots and lots of these fragments. And such a huge amount of debris cannot be left behind by the remaining fleet of the original Martian civilization. Because Wei Feng still clearly remembered what the letter left by the Martian said, and their interstellar voyage fleet only had an extremely limited number of spacecraft. How could such a small spaceship...leave so much debris behind?

"Oh, I understand what you mean." Ye Luo said, "Indeed, just like you said, this is a contradiction."

"No, this is not a contradiction." Wei Feng denied, "This can only mean one possibility, that is... the Martian civilization finally came to the Nanmen II system, and then they got a precious period of time to recuperate. That's right. It was because of this precious time to recuperate. The strength of the Martian civilization became stronger again, and they had more war potential. Therefore, when they encountered this weird alien civilization, they were able to create so many spaceships. And it leaves so much debris.”

"This explanation is probably reasonable." Ye Luo said, "At the same time, this also rules out the possibility that the strange civilization came from the local galaxy of Nanmen II. Because if they are local civilizations, they will definitely not leave time for the Martian civilization to recuperate. . They also came from other star systems after long journeys...perhaps. They also encountered the problem of a dead knot, so they chose to travel between stars."

"No, that unknown new civilization also has many spaceships, because in this space, we have also discovered the fragments they left behind many times. To leave so many fragments, there must be many spaceships, and It is unlikely that a civilization that has traveled long distances between stars has so many spaceships." Wei Feng denied, "It seems that they have also gone through time to recuperate. But this is impossible. How is it possible that two hostile civilizations are both in Nanmen II? Resting and recuperating in the galaxy... This is not logical."

"Perhaps their technological strength is strong enough to still have many spaceships after long-distance interstellar voyages?" Ye Luo said.

"This is still impossible." Wei Feng denied again, "If their technological strength is really that strong, how can they be inseparable from the Martian civilization, which is in decline and is about to die?"

Ye Luo fell silent. Obviously, he could not find any arguments to refute Wei Feng's words.

"This is very weird." Wei Feng said. Suddenly, Wei Feng seemed to have thought of something, so Wei Feng immediately said to Ye Luo: "Ye Luo, I want you to immediately make a rough estimate of the technological content of the fragments of Martian civilization we obtained in the Nanmen II galaxy. At the same time, to compare it with the debris found in the solar system, I want you to measure it based on the speed of technological development of human civilization. How many years is the gap in technological content between the two debris."

"Okay Captain, please wait a moment, I will analyze them in more detail."

After a while, the data evaluation appeared in front of Wei Feng.

"Based on the results of my analysis of various aspects of material properties. The technological gap between the materials left by the Martian civilization in Nanmen 2 and the materials of the Martian civilization in the solar system is about...according to human civilization If we take the previous technological development speed as an indicator, the gap is about fifty years." Ye Luo said.

"Well..." Wei Feng nodded gently, "In this case, my speculation that "Mars civilization has been recuperating and recuperating in the Nanmen II galaxy for a period of time" is basically confirmed. Obviously, these fragments are not It is not left behind by the spacecraft brought by the Martian civilization from the solar system, but was recently created after they arrived in the Nanmen II system."

"Then why are the material properties of the spacecraft built later worse than those of the spacecraft built first?"

Wei Feng said: "Civilization has degraded... From the time when the Martian civilization arrived in the Nanmen II system, and when the war began to break out as the end of time, during this period of time, the technological level of the Martian civilization has degraded for about fifty years... Although the Martian civilization has gained valuable time to recuperate, their technology has been deteriorating. It continued to degrade until the war broke out, and then... who knows."

"I hope that the Martian civilization will win in the end." Ye Luo said, "If this is the case, then there will still be a lot of traces of the Martian civilization on the Blue Night Star, and we can look for the traces of the Martian civilization from there. Key scientific data. As for why the unknown new civilization still has a large number of spacecraft after a long journey between stars, but can only compete with the Martian civilization whose technology has degraded, I think this has little to do with our mission. "

Wei Feng sighed: "I hope so. But I don't know why, but I always have a faint worry about that new civilization in my heart. I think there is something weird about that unknown civilization."

Regarding Wei Feng's sigh, Ye Luo chose to remain silent and did not respond.

This discussion ends now. During the subsequent voyage, Wei Feng did not mention these things again. Wei Feng was just doing his job, preparing for the subsequent deceleration and landing stages.

In the past few months, Ye Luo once again discovered some debris in orbit and captured them back. Just as Wei Feng guessed, some of these fragments belong to the Martian civilization whose technological level has degraded, while others belong to the unknown new civilization. The discovery of these things again made Wei Feng's speculation more solid, and at the same time, it also highlighted the weirdness of the unknown civilization.

Two months later, the Xinghai spacecraft finally entered the deceleration stage. Driven by the attitude adjustment engine, the body of the Xinghai spacecraft rotated half a circle in the void, and the position of the tail engine of the spacecraft was aligned with the two stars of Nanmen, and then the engine was ignited and ejected, so it was as if it had left the solar system to accelerate. As usual, Wei Feng was once again unable to stand firm in the Xinghai spacecraft. And this effect will last until the end of the deceleration phase.

More observation data about the Blue Night Star were obtained by Ye Luo and presented to Wei Feng. For the first time, Wei Feng saw the stretching valleys and vast plains on the surface of the Blue Night Star, as well as the huge cracks and vast impact craters... This planet, like its beautiful name, has always been... It exudes an irresistible attraction for Wei Feng.

"That... is the end of my hundreds of years of sailing, and it is also the place where I will spend my whole life... It is really beautiful." Wei Feng murmured.

The Xinghai spacecraft no longer has enough fuel to return to the solar system, and Wei Feng cannot leave the Nanmen II system. Spending the rest of his life on this planet is Wei Feng's only choice.

Perhaps because he was too close to his destination, Ye Luo never found those debris floating in space left over from the war during the more than three months of deceleration. But Wei Feng had long been mentally prepared for this, and he also knew the reason for this situation.

Nanmenmen is a three-star system. In addition to the distant Proxima Centauri, there are two remaining huge stars that are very close to each other. Under this situation, the orbits of things orbiting the stars or planets around the Nanmen Binary Star will be unstable in the long term. They will be continuously expelled into outer space in the constant gravitational battle - even the blue night star is unstable in the long run. Perhaps one day in the distant future, it will be thrown out by the star, thus Become a wandering planet. Therefore, the satellite wind can still find some debris far away from the star, but now that it is closer to the star, it cannot find anything.

More than three months of deceleration finally ended, and the huge blue night star finally appeared in front of Wei Feng. The Xinghai spacecraft has entered the orbit of the Blue Night Star, while Wei Feng stood in front of the porthole, quietly looking at the hot earth below.

But at this moment, Ye Luo suddenly reported a message to Wei Feng: "Captain, I received a repeated message from the Blue Night Star, sent at a frequency well known to human civilization... This message said ...What you want is here." (To be continued~^~)
