Voyage of the Stars

For this reason, humans have conducted many experiments to simulate the extreme conditions of the universe in an attempt to explore traces of gravitons, but unfortunately nothing has been discovered.

This is research along the lines of the Standard Model.

There is also research on the quantization of gravity. Scientists stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and continue to explore the unknown, or create new theories from scratch, or patch up old theories, or try to open up a new route, such as extra dimensions. exploration, new symmetry theories, new particle collapse, and more.

Every scientist is looking forward to producing results that exceed expectations.

It's a pity that this time, humans don't have pillows when they want to sleep like before. Even though scientists in various fields work tirelessly, they still can't find a way. It even made many scientists turn their attention to the fragments of the original fifth-level civilization detection spacecraft. They tried to find clues to the theory of everything in reverse from that battleship.

However, this time humans were not unlucky. Even if they used a level-5 civilization that had spent countless hours researching to detect the wreckage of the spacecraft, they would only get sighs.

The barriers of the fifth-level civilization are like a natural moat, making everyone feel like a huge mountain is weighing on their hearts.

Of course, human scientists have not given up because of this. They have become more and more courageous with their ideas, and they are even ready to devote their entire lives to the fields they study, hoping only to contribute to the realization of the theory of everything for mankind.

Negative energy, negative matter, matter cracking cannon, warp speed 4, real shield, theory of everything. In this era of human society, whether it is online or discussed after dinner, these are terms that appear frequently.

It can be said that the scientific wave of human civilization during this period was very high, and by the way, other member civilizations of the Star Alliance were also brought into the scientific wave.

It is a pity that the development of other civilizations cannot catch up with humans. They would like to participate in the scientific wave that impacts the fifth-level civilization, but they do not have the strength.

Although the Star Alliance member civilizations have benefited from humans, their spaceships and battleships are equipped with third-generation warp speeds, and there are many fourth-level civilization technology applications, but after all, many of them directly use the fruits of human development, and even the principles and processes are not Not fully understood.

So naturally there is no way to really keep up with the pace of human progress.

There are indeed some individuals in other civilizations who have reached the level of top scientists in level four civilizations, but at this stage, the development and progress of civilization is no longer an era that can only be led by a genius scientist. There is no other reason. There are too many disciplines that are divided into branches of science and technology. A person’s energy is limited. A genius scientist who can master two or three fields is considered to be one in ten thousand. And the branches of science and technology derived from the theory of the fourth-level civilization level are More than a thousand?

Science ultimately requires collective effort.

Just like that, several decades passed.

The human-led Covenant fleet sailed for more than 400 light-years during this period, and the target of this human stop was the yellow-rayed star in front of them.

It is a very rare single star system.

Through simple spectral detection and stellar evolution model simulation, humans quickly learned its current age, which is about six billion years old.

For humans, this age is like eternity, and immortality is nothing more than this. But for this star, this is its middle age. If there are no accidents, it can remain in this state for six billion years. .

Many people who understand the evolution of stars roughly know from its age alone that it is a star slightly smaller than the sun, and its mass radius is smaller than that of the sun, so its lifespan is longer than that of the sun.

It is common knowledge in astronomy that the smaller a star is, the longer its life span will be. There are fewer single-star star systems than binary star systems in the universe, only about 20%.

Of course, it is not uncommon. Human beings have seen most binary star systems along the way, followed by single star systems. None of the star systems with more than four stars have been seen, which is in line with human beings' previous observations of the starry sky.

Therefore, although this star is a single star system, it is not uncommon, and humans do not expect to encounter anything new here. After all, judging from the direction of the starry sky, it is an extremely ordinary star.

But what humans didn't expect was that there was intelligent life here.

Yes, the information sent back by the advance exploration team is very certain, even though they have not yet entered the interior of the star system.

It doesn't matter how strong the detection technology of the advance detection team is. It is impossible to discover the situation on the inner planet at the outer edge of the star system. Instead, advance detection discovered a set of signals from space outside the star system, which were obviously signals sent by intelligent life.

Because its electromagnetic wave frequency is really obvious.

Of course, the form is definitely different from the electromagnetic wave signals in the human era of earth, but humans are also well-informed, so much so that they can judge the approximate technological level of the device that continuously emits electromagnetic waves into nearby space just from the signal form.

It is definitely a low-level civilization, and it is very likely that this low-level civilization is now in this star system. It’s just that it’s not yet possible to determine where they are, nor whether they are a wandering civilization or a settled civilization.

"I hope it is a settled type, so that we can get a lot of biosphere resources for research!" Yue Yuan waved his hand and turned off all the display screens, thinking to himself.

Then, he raised his hand to open another holographic display screen and operated it a few times. However, it was Yue Yuan who designated the docking place for the fleet. He only heard him say: "Let the detection team investigate carefully, and the large fleet will first Stop in this area.”

Yue Yuan was not referring to a planet, but an area.

It is an area full of asteroids, which happens to be at the outermost edge of this star system, 41 astronomical units away from the main sequence star.

Further in, the orbit of the planetary system of this main sequence star is located. The planet farthest from its main sequence star is here, about 32 astronomical units away, a gas planet similar to Saturn.

Further in, there are five planets, four solid and one gas. The types of planets are distributed from the outside to the inside according to the orbit: gas, solid, solid, solid, gas, solid.

The outermost is a circle of dense elliptical cloud disk-shaped small celestial bodies, with a number of billions.

According to this layout, if the unknown low-level civilization was born here, then the farthest gas planet should have silently blocked countless destructive blows for their safe growth. It mainly uses its own gravity to block many various space meteorite impacts from the dense area of ​​small celestial bodies.

However, what surprised humans was that according to the conditions for the existence of liquid water, the habitable zone of this star system is actually a gas planet located in the second orbit.

Could it be that the so-called intelligent life was born on a gas planet? Seeing this situation, some people can't help but wonder.
