Universe dominance

The Kuiper Belt of the Centauri Galaxy is 4.3 light-years away from the solar system. Compared with the Kuiper Belt of the solar system, the light here is relatively brighter because the Centauri Galaxy is a relatively rare binary star system with two stars, Centaur A. Star and Centaur B. Centaur A and Centaur B are very bright on the Earth side of the solar system and can be distinguished in the sky with the naked eye.

Because there are two stars, even the Kuiper Belt in the Centaur Galaxy is still relatively bright. It is not as dark as the Kuiper Belt on the Earth's side, but the temperature is the same, very cold.

In a void that looked no different from the surrounding void, suddenly a spaceship flashed out of the void. The spaceship was shaped like an oval flying saucer, with two huge Chinese characters "Kyushu" on it. ", this spacecraft is the "Kyushu" spacecraft that set out from the solar system.

When it first set off from the earth, the "Kyushu" spacecraft had just left the factory a few months ago. It was a completely new spacecraft. However, after sailing in the ocean currents of time and space for more than 2 months, the "Kyushu" spacecraft at this time The "Kyushu" spacecraft looks scarred.

There are many traces of impact on the spacecraft. The thick steel plates in some areas have been scratched with deep marks. In some places, you can even see holes. Although they are not too deep, they look different. It looked ferocious and terrifying; some areas were obviously missing a corner, which was undoubtedly knocked off, because there were obvious impact marks on the gap.

"call!"

"Finally, the space-time ocean current has emerged. If it continues like this, I'm worried about whether we can reach the Centaur Galaxy."

Seeing the stars outside the spacecraft, and the surrounding scenery no longer a bright stream of colorful lights, Tang Boyuan breathed a sigh of relief. In the ocean currents of time and space, it went smoothly at the beginning. There were only two collisions in the previous dozens of days. , and they were all skin injuries, but when they were about to arrive at the Centaur Galaxy, they unexpectedly encountered a wave of meteorites.

That time, even with the defense of the gravity field device, the "Kyushu" spacecraft was still riddled with scars. The impact of several meteorites even damaged the spacecraft, so that everyone was worried about whether they could reach the halfway point alive. Sagittarius Galaxy.

"If it weren't for the protection of the gravity field, I estimate that ordinary spaceships would not be able to pass through at all. Many frontal impact meteorites would be enough to destroy the spacecraft."

Thinking of the impact of the meteorite swarm, even Luo Xiaoyao, who had always been brave, felt a little scared. At that time, the spacecraft kept trembling again and again, making people constantly worried about whether the spacecraft could hold up.

"Yes, the gravity field defense helped the spacecraft remove most of the impacts. Even those that could not be removed allowed the meteorite to change its direction and prevent it from hitting the front. So although the spacecraft is now scarred, overall it is still in pretty good condition. It only needs simple repairs to restore it to perfect condition.”

Gu Feng also nodded. The current condition of the spacecraft is still very good. Most of the injuries are skin injuries. Only a few have touched the flesh and bones, but they are not too serious.

"Contact Earth immediately and report our situation."

"The spacecraft is parked here in the Kuiper Belt first. We will repair the spacecraft first and restore all the functions of the spacecraft as much as possible, especially the weapon attack system."

"All detection equipment is turned on, and the basic situation of the Centaur Galaxy should be grasped as soon as possible."

Yu Liang, who had been silent until now, began to issue orders.

As his order was issued, the "Kyushu" spacecraft parked in the Kuiper Belt of the Centaur Galaxy, and its location was still very close to the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean currents. The purpose of doing so was naturally for future security considerations. If the outer space of the Centaur Galaxy Star civilization's technological strength is very strong, and they quickly discovered everyone's traces, and they can also quickly escape into the ocean currents of time and space.

Everyone on the entire spacecraft began to get busy. Scientists and engineers began to assess the damage on the spacecraft and began to repair it. On the top of the spacecraft, robotic arms began to stretch out. These robotic arms were manipulated by engineers and scientists to repair the wounds on the spacecraft.

At the same time, all the various detection instruments on the spacecraft were activated and began to detect the basic situation of the entire Centaur Galaxy. The most important of which is to detect whether there are living planets in the Centaur Galaxy and the development of alien civilizations on the living planets. To what extent.

"Didi! Didi!"

All kinds of detection instruments were turned on, and various sounds sounded in the command center of the spacecraft. Soon some basic information about the Centaur Galaxy appeared in everyone's computers.

"The Centauri galaxy has two stars, A and B. The mass of star A is about 1.3 times the mass of the sun, and the mass of star B is about 0.8 times the mass of the sun. The distance between the two stars is about 12 Around astronomical units, about 1.8 billion kilometers, they rotate around each other, and the time for one rotation is about 360 years. "

Astronomy scientist Tang Boyuan looked closely at the data in the computer and began to answer the questions for everyone.

"The mass of the two stars is not much different from the mass of the sun. They are both very stable stars. They have a history of about 4.5 billion years and are in the most stable middle age. Such an environment makes great use of the growth and development of life. gestation.”

"Star A has a large mass, strong gravity, and attracts more matter in the universe. Therefore, star A has 6 planets. From the inside to the outside, they are A1-A6. According to their positions, the position of A3 is approximately At a distance of 1.5 astronomical units, it is very likely to be a living planet."

"Star B has a smaller mass. During the early gestation of the galaxy, it competed for less cosmic matter, so there are only two planets, B1 and B2. Star B1 is very close to star B, only 0.7 astronomical units away. It should be impossible to become a living planet. Planet B2 is a massive gaseous planet, and it is impossible to become a living planet. "

Tang Boyuan pointed to the image of the Centaur Galaxy displayed on the monitor. With the detection of various scientific instruments, coupled with the powerful computing capabilities of the supercomputer, these basic conditions of the entire Centaur Galaxy soon appeared to everyone one by one. within the field of vision.

"In addition to these 8 planets, there is another planet that is more interesting. Let's call it AB star. Its position is just above the balance point of the gravity of the two stars, that is, at the Lagrange point, about 100 meters from star A. The distance is 8,2 astronomical units, and the distance from Star B is 3.8 astronomical units.”

"Star AB is different from other planets. It revolves around star A, not around star B. It also has no autobiography. It is very interesting. Since the two stars rotate around each other, they revolve around it."

Tang Boyuan pointed at a red dot on the monitor and explained to everyone present with a smile that he was a top scientist in the field of astronomical science. When talking about his areas of expertise, he was eloquent and eloquent.

"Put it this way, the only planet in the Centaur Galaxy that may have life is this A3 planet?"

After Yu Liang listened, he pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Not necessarily. Originally, we thought that the Centaur Galaxy must have no life, because we have always believed that a binary star galaxy is very unstable and is not conducive to the breeding of life. But after arriving here, I Only to find out how wrong we were.”

"Quietly on the contrary, because of the existence of double stars, the light and temperature of the entire Centauri galaxy are much higher than here in the solar system, which is very conducive to the breeding of life. This means that even planets that are farther away from the star The temperature up there won't be too cold either, because light and heat can be obtained from another star."

Tang Boyuan shook his head. We are 4.3 light years away in the solar system. We can only briefly study some conditions of the two stars in the Centauri Galaxy. As for other details in the galaxy, we can only know them after we arrive here. Very detailed.

"Judging from the information we have now, it is very likely that life exists in the two rocky galaxies A3 and A4, and even the AB star at the Lagrangian point of the two stars may become a planet with life."

"Three planets?"

Luo Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"It's just speculation, because these three planets are all rocky planets, and their locations are relatively good. The probability of birth of life is very high, and they may be prosperous life planets."

Tang Boyuan smiled and said, even though he has reached the Kuiper Belt of the Centauri galaxy, he still dare not conclude that these three planets must be life planets, unless they are very close.

"Tell me more about the basic situation of these three planets."

Yu Liang nodded, thinking deeply, as if he was considering which planet to start exploring.

"Let's talk about the AB star closest to us first. It has no autobiography or turnover. Its mass is about eleven times that of the earth. Originally, because this planet has no autobiography, its gravity should be relatively small, but because Its mass is relatively large. The greater the mass, the greater the natural gravity. Therefore, the gravity of this planet is not much different from that of the earth from the calculation results. This is why I say that this star is likely to be a The reason for the living planet.”

"The gravity is appropriate, and it is above the Lagrange point of the two stars. It is only less than 4 astronomical units away from Star B. Plus, there is another star, so it The temperature is also very suitable, not too high or too low. ”
