Homo sapiens

Mikoyan was at the Space Observation Office at this time.

The old man who spoke at the meeting before had already obtained various data after Cicada 004 boarded the alien spacecraft.

And legions of astronomers are studying the data.

Dr. Mikoyan asked: "Ivan, what do you think?"

The old man quickly analyzed the data and replied casually: "From 45,300 to 45,400 years, we can basically lock the starting time of this spacecraft, plus the other party's sailing direction."

He casually called up a star map and circled an area.

"The starting area of ​​the alien spacecraft is probably right here."

Looking at the empty target area, Dr. Mikoyan stroked his beard thoughtfully: "Dark Star?"

"You should know that in the long evolutionary history of the universe, in addition to a large number of planetary systems, there are actually a lot of dark stars hidden in the seemingly empty interstellar space." Old man Ivan explained calmly.

The so-called dark stars are wandering planets floating outside the planetary system.

These wandering planets include asteroids, planets, and ultra-dark red dwarfs.

Asteroids and planets, in particular, are difficult to detect with telescopes because they do not emit light.

Dark stars can also be called ghost planets.

Ivan guessed that the parent star of the alien spacecraft was most likely a dark star. As for whether it was an ultra-dark red dwarf star or a planet, it was still unknown.

"Mikoyan, I want to mobilize some of the cosmic astronomical telescopes to focus on observing this area to see if we can find this dark star."

Mikoyan thought for a while: "This kind of planet should be difficult to lock, right?"

"It's really hard, but I want to give it a try."

Seeing the look in his old friend's eyes, Mikoyan knew that this guy had made up his mind. He nodded: "Okay! I can give you a letter of assistance to help those astronomical telescopes cooperate."

"Thanks."

"Why are you so polite?"

In fact, the Office of Space Observation has many astronomical telescopes.

However, the astronomical telescopes owned by their office are all on the ground and in low-Earth orbit.

In addition to the astronomical telescope in the Space Observation Office, there are five other institutions within the Homo sapiens company that also have astronomical telescopes.

These five institutions are: Space Division - Space Security Office, Science Division - Institute of Astrophysics, Industry Division - Starry Sky Precision Instrument Group, Planetary Physics Equipment Group, and Hengguang Precision Instrument Group.

Among them, the Astronomical Telescope of the Space Security Office is the largest, densely covered with six planets: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and Earth. It has a total of 729 space telescopes.

The Institute of Astrophysics has a total of 76 astronomical telescopes and scientific detection equipment, which is almost the same number as the Space Observation Office.

Finally, there are Starry Sky Precision Instruments, Planetary Physics Equipment, and Hengguang Precision Instruments. These three are equipment R\u0026D and manufacturing companies. They have 20 to 50 pieces of equipment operating in outer space, mainly for testing equipment.

The first institution Ivan contacted was the Institute of Astrophysics.

The two sides hit it off immediately and quickly organized various types of astronomical telescopes to closely monitor the void.

As time goes by, the Cicada-class 004 spacecraft collects more and more information on the alien spacecraft.

This information further determines the power of the alien spacecraft, which is helpful in determining the speed limit of the alien spacecraft.

Once the speed of the alien spacecraft is determined and the departure time of the alien spacecraft is determined, the approximate location of its starting point can be determined.

Finally, Ivan and others finally locked in an approximate location, which was 3.021 to 3.025 light-years away.

The angles and spatial coordinates, as well as the possible movement area of ​​the ghost planet, have also been analyzed by other researchers.

Based on this data, they focused on a large number of high-precision astronomical telescopes and detection equipment. After four months, they finally found clues about this ghost planet.

This is a gaseous planet with a radius 1.6 times larger than Jupiter and a huge ring.

The discovery of this planet is also due to the planet's huge star ring, which increases the reflection area of ​​​​starlight.

The planet is currently drifting in another direction. According to the current moving speed, it is expected to arrive near Vega in 87.2 million years.

Apparently the planet is moving away from the solar system.

Although they don't know if the civilization on this planet is still there, they still have some speculations after combining all the information.

Resource depletion and internal war are probably the two biggest problems.

After all, this is just a large gaseous planet. Even if the gaseous planet abducts dozens of natural satellites, it is probably not enough for a civilization to develop to a level 1 civilization.

The alien civilization discovered that its parent star was drifting in the direction of the distant Vega. It would take another 87.2 million years to reach the vicinity of Vega.

This time is so desperate.

Even Ivan and others feel sad for this civilization.

As the population of the mother planet's resources continues to grow, unless their entire civilization can reasonably control the growth of the population or adjust the development of various technologies, the resources will be exhausted sooner or later.

Ivan and others speculated that this civilization may have faced two choices at that time.

One is to endure it hard, wait until 87.2 million, the home star reaches the vicinity of Vega, and then quickly immigrate to Vega.

Another option is to immigrate to the nearest planetary system, the solar system.

However, according to the technological inversion of alien spacecraft, the technological level of alien civilization is about the same as that of current human civilization, and some technologies are even inferior to those of Homo sapiens companies.

With this level of technology, one can imagine how difficult it is to build a generation spacecraft and try to immigrate to the solar system across a distance of 3 light years.

Moreover, the major think tank offices of Homo Sapiens Company have simulated the social form of this alien civilization.

Combined with the currently known intelligence, there is a high probability that alien civilization is not monolithic, but that some members are conservatives who tend to wait, and the other group are radicals who tend to immigrate to the solar system.

This can be analyzed backwards from the fact that the other party only launched one generation spacecraft.

If this civilization is truly united, then if they want to immigrate to the solar system, they will definitely need more than one generation spacecraft, but will pool all the resources of their home planet.

In this way, they can build at least a few hundred generation ships.

If there are really hundreds of generation spacecraft, then this alien spacecraft will not completely die out now. To fly generation spaceships on a large scale, resources can be scrapped part of the spacecraft to ensure that part of the spacecraft can be maintained.

It can be seen that in this alien civilization, immigrant radicals are most likely a minority, and most other aliens are conservative.

Based on this conclusion, another piece of information can be deduced, that is, there are very likely surviving members on the home planet of this civilization.

This puts Homo sapiens companies on high alert.

After all, the technology of this alien spacecraft was only manufactured by the civilization 45,200 years ago and does not represent the current true technological level of the civilization.

If the opponent's technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past tens of thousands of years, then this alien civilization will be a huge threat to human civilization.

After reading these analysis reports, Li Qingye immediately asked various departments of the company to discuss and prepare a plan to deal with the invasion of the solar system by alien civilization.

And the other side.

The Cicada-class 004 spacecraft's exploration of alien spacecraft has also begun to enter a new stage. They are preparing to check the situation of aliens.
