[Galaxy 243 May 16, 16:34 pm.

Today is the fifteenth day since we entered the Small Magellanic Cloud. This dwarf galaxy is very strange. We have searched an area of ​​nearly 2,000 light years and found no life planets.

According to estimates of the average density of living planets in the Milky Way, the Small Magellanic Cloud, which spans 15,000 light-years, has 870 million stars, and there must be at least hundreds of living planets.

However, this is a suffocating area of ​​death. What kind of secrets are hidden here?

If the abundance of dark matter is too high, it would be difficult to explain the situation of this dwarf galaxy.

For example, the dark dwarf galaxy, the famous affiliated dwarf galaxy of the Milky Way, has a dark matter concentration hundreds of thousands of times that of the Milky Way. This has caused the dark dwarf galaxy to become a veritable desert area for life.

However, the dark matter concentration of the Small Magellanic Cloud is only about 6.8 times that of the Milky Way, and even lower than the 9.4 times concentration of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, which still has 27 living planets.

It's all so strange.

Captain Ma Wu was also very confused. Is the Small Magellanic Cloud really a dead zone?

Hope there will be new discoveries tomorrow. ]

Austin put down the pen, closed the retro notebook, stood up, stretched, and tied his light blond hair into a ponytail.

Inside the room was a holographic pastoral scene. She poured herself orange juice and then lay down on the rocking chair.

Before she knew it, she had been wandering around the universe with Ma Wu for more than two hundred years. She and Ma Wu were the only old members of the Explorer 3 spacecraft.

the other side.

Ma Wu frowned and looked at the star map. The dark wave radar of the Explorer 3 spacecraft is the latest model of the alliance and can easily scan an area of ​​tens of thousands of light years.

Judging from the scanning results, the situation in the Small Magellanic Cloud is not optimistic. Although there is no detailed investigation, years of experience in cosmic exploration told him that this is a lifeless dead zone.

870 million stars represent 870 million star systems. Including those rogue planets and the like, there are billions of planets in the entire Small Magellanic Cloud, but there is not even a single life planet.

This is so abnormal.

"Captain, are you still worried about the fact that no living planet has been discovered?" Vice-captain Aokaku Tatsu has just returned from the restaurant.

"Yes! It's so abnormal. There is no reason why a planet with no life exists." Ma Wu scratched his hair in annoyance.

"Would you like to go have a meal first? Today is a dumpling banquet." Tatsuki Aokaku took over the command of the spacecraft.

"I'm not hungry."

The pilots who changed shifts came back one after another to change shifts. Ma Wu was still searching the alliance's scientific research database while comparing the data they collected.

Ma Wu, who had no clue, walked towards the scientific research team's cabin.

Everyone in the scientific research team admires Ma Wu. After all, the perseverance of a person who has been wandering in the stars for more than two hundred years is indeed worthy of everyone's admiration.

"Ling, you don't have any research results?"

The flawless female Yuyuan raised her head and handed a holographic document to Ma Wu.

"Research work is very difficult. Many situations in the Small Magellanic Cloud are very different from our estimates." Ling replied helplessly.

"Do you know the reason?" Ma Wu asked while looking through the documents.

Ling thought for a while and replied: "Based on past experience, a star system meets the conditions for the birth of a life planet, but no life planet is born. There are no more than two possibilities."

“Human factors and natural factors, right?”

Ling nodded: "It's these two factors. Man-made factors are usually wars and the like; while natural factors are much more complicated, such as galaxy cluster mergers, supernova explosions, dark matter concentrations exceeding standards, etc."

"The situation in the Small Magellanic Cloud seems to be none of these, right?" Ma Wu put down the document and said.

"This is why the Small Magellanic Cloud is said to be contrary to common sense. We have conducted supercomputer simulations on all possibilities, but none of them are consistent." Ling replied in frustration.

"Could it be human factors?" Ma Wu whispered to himself.

There is also a star map in the scientific research cabin. Ma Wu, Ling and others are surrounding the star map, but they still can't get a clue.

Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever remains, even if it is impossible, is the truth - Conan Doyle.

Ma Wu was searching on the star map, and suddenly he asked Wen Ling: "Is the position of the blue cursor a star system where there may be life planets?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"..." Ma Wu suddenly squinted his eyes, clicked on the blue-marked star system closest to them, and then zoomed in to a very intuitive state.

A red dwarf star system. In the third orbit of this star system, an Earth-like planet is orbiting the main sequence star.

According to the Alliance's rules for living planets, the probability of this earth-like planet being a living planet is about 76.8%.

But at this moment, there is no sign of life on this planet.

After Ma Wu looked at it for a while, he turned to Ling and said: "Ling, please select the planets with a probability of birth of life greater than 50%, and then send it to me."

"No problem." After Ling entered the conditions, he immediately screened out 83 natural satellites of terrestrial planets and 3 large gaseous planets.

"Thanks."

"You are welcome."

…

Ma Wu returned to the cockpit with a heavy heart.

He entered the suspected life planet sent to him by the spirit just now into the star map in the cockpit.

"Dacai."

"Here, captain, what's the matter?"

"Jump to star system number XM-7698-3504."

"Is that XM-7698-3504?"

"Yes."

"almost done."

Tatsucai Aokaku entered the coordinate system of this star system, and the Explorer 3 spacecraft opened the space door and rushed over.

For a moment.

Explorer 3 appeared in the star system designated by Ma Wu.

"Mini Group, search this star system carefully for me."

"OK."

The micron group is the working group that controls the micron robot. The micron robot is an upgraded version of the alliance's proton robot. Tinker particles can be very invisible and can fly at faster than light speeds.

Because of the limitation of the speed of light, it can only work on photons, neutrinos and the like.

Microns are very small, five orders of magnitude smaller than photons. Particles smaller than photons can achieve super-light speeds, such as darkon waves and the like.

Although microns are not as fast as darkon waves, their fastest speed can still reach 3.7 million times the speed of light. This speed is within tens of thousands of light years, and is actually no different from teleportation.

Countless micron robots were launched, and the entire star system was inspected inside and outside.

"Report, there are signs of paleontological fossils found on the third planet."

"Investigate the status of the paleontological fossils and the reasons for the destruction of this living planet." Ma Wu ordered.

More than half an hour later.

A fresh report appeared in Ma Wu's hands, but after reading it, he was not happy.

Because this living planet died on its own, its magnetic field strength failed once 120 million years ago, causing the planet's atmosphere to be blown away by the stellar solar wind, thus triggering the end of this living planet.

"Recover the microbot and head towards the XM-8613-4426 star system."

"receive."
