Interstellar Industrial Age

The Centaurus galaxy is 4.3 light-years away from the solar system.

The Centaurus galaxy is a very strange planetary system, of course, compared to the solar system, because the Centaurus galaxy is a triple star system.

It has two large stars and one small star. Centaurus A and Centaurus B are the two more massive stars, while Centaurus C is the smallest of the three stars and the closest to Earth. One, commonly known as Proxima Centauri, means the star closest to the Sun.

The solar system only has one star in the core of the sun, while the Centaurus galaxy has three stars. This is the peculiarity of the Centaurus galaxy.

Although the universe is vast and vast, most planetary systems are basically single stars, and a few have double stars. Planetary systems with these three stars are very rare.

This is a bit like giving birth to a child, basically one is born at a time, and a few are twins. The probability of these triplets is very, very small, and the Centaurus galaxy is the triplet planetary system in the universe. If If you understand it, you will know how rare the planetary system of these three stars is.

In the void of the Centaur galaxy leading to the direction of the solar system, a cosmos has been flying for almost 50 years in this dark void by relying on inertia.

Fifty years, a full half century, from birth to old age, almost fifty years have passed. In the vast void of the universe, the time is really long, very long.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

The outer shell of this spacecraft is not imprinted with any pattern, and the spacecraft is also dark. After a long period of fifty years, its outer shell is still covered with a lot of cosmic dust, making it look as if it has experienced a long period of time. Incomparable years, full of vicissitudes.

Inside the spaceship, most of the instruments have been turned off and fell into a deep sleep. Only the core computer that controls the spaceship is still running, and it has been running for almost fifty years.

"Arriving in the Centaur 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 come, and it is about to reach the Centaurus galaxy, the computer on the spacecraft automatically starts to wake up all the functional modules on the spacecraft.

"Humph~"

On the spaceship, the first thing to start is the nuclear fusion reactor on the spaceship. With the start of the nuclear fusion reactor, a huge amount of energy begins to be released continuously, and the spaceship is like a robot that has been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years. Lights up.

Here in the very outer shell, with the awakening of the spacecraft, the cosmic dust attached to the extraordinary outer shell was shaken, and began to escape one after another, returning to the void of the universe.

Mechanical watches began to stretch out from the spacecraft, and then the same detectors were flipped out from the interior of the spacecraft, electromagnetic wave receivers, ray detectors, redshift detectors, cosmic astronomical telescopes, etc., all kinds of detection instruments.

These detectors are all high-end things. If they are kept outside the universe, as long as they are contaminated with some cosmic dust, they will be greatly affected. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, these detectors can be put into the universe. inside the ship.

"DiDi~DiDi~Contact the base camp~"

Inside 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 report the various conditions on the spacecraft in detail.

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, it takes more than 4 years to send electromagnetic waves from the Centaur side to the solar system side, and it takes about 9 years for a round-trip information exchange.

And this is still an ideal state. The emitted electromagnetic wave can be received by the solar system, but the electromagnetic wave propagates in the void, and it will become weaker and weaker. In the end, it is very likely that the solar system cannot receive it at all. of electromagnetic waves.

In the same way, if the electromagnetic waves sent by the solar system are to be received by the Centaur galaxy, it is also very difficult. Electromagnetic waves are only suitable for short-range communication. Once this is designed into the interstellar universe, electromagnetic wave communication technology will Appears quite powerless.

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. There are all kinds of advanced research equipment, and there are many cosmic astronomical telescopes with super-large diameters alone.

These spacecrafts launched around the solar system decades ago have always been tracked and contacted by cosmic and astronomical scientists here.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

"Received the signal from the spacecraft No. 001, and started to receive information~"

The center responsible for tracking and contacting, with bursts of sounds, the cosmic and astronomical scientists here began to keep busy.

"Finally there is news of it, and it should also arrive in the Centaur galaxy."

Soon, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin, the heads of the Xinghan Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy, rushed over in a hurry, and the whole person became extremely excited.

The universe is really too big, although 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 luminous and bright stars, which means that it can only observe the universe. among the stars.

Using these observed maps, scientists can also calculate the existence of neutron stars, black holes, etc., but scientists still know nothing about whether there is life in other planetary systems, whether there are life planets, etc.

Now that the uncontrolled spacecraft is finally about to arrive in the Centaurus galaxy, scientists are naturally excited, and as the news spreads, more and more scientists are gathered.

There are scientists who study biological sciences. They want to come and see if there is any alien civilization in the Centaurus galaxy. Although the Centaurus galaxy is a triple galaxy, it is very chaotic compared to the solar system. Scientists have long been there. It was predicted that life could not be born here, let alone the existence of cosmic civilization.

But 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 there will be life in this Centaurus galaxy, and maybe civilization will be born.

There are scientists who study physics, and they want to see the situation on this side of the Centaurus galaxy, so that they can be enlightened in physical research.

There are also scientists who study chemistry. They think that there will definitely be new chemical discoveries in this Centaurus galaxy.

Even scientists who study communication technology have come here. They want to see if the electromagnetic waves emitted from Mars a few years ago have reached the Centaurus galaxy, and whether the spacecraft has received them.

In short, the scientific research institutes of the entire empire are boiling, and private spaceships are constantly resisting this huge space city, and they all want to know the situation on the Centaur Galaxy as soon as possible.

Even Qin Yi was idle and had nothing to do, so he put down his work and ran over with Lu Qingwei and Liu Peiqiang.

For the first time, human beings can accurately understand and know the situation of the neighboring planetary system. This is a major event that will go down in history, and no one will want to miss this moment.
