Chapter Twenty-Nine: Being Stalked by a Small Object

Xu Jiawei continued: "Yes, I also walked with them, they were concentrated in the terminal, and they saw that there was no one inside, and the luggage belt was not moving. I saw that all the people were pulling out their mobile phones to make calls, and this mobile phone was indeed a thousand years old, exactly like the information said. Of course, it can't be done, and it definitely can't be played. I was the only person they saw in the airport, and they came around and asked about the situation. From the conversation with them, it was confirmed that the plane did take off from West Asia in the early morning of March 8, 2014, I don't know what happened, it actually flew for a thousand years, but they unanimously said that the time in the air was only 6 hours, and the mobile phone battery was sufficient, and there was no abnormal phenomenon during the flight. ”

"That's weird, they went into a time tunnel? stopped there for a thousand years?"

"I checked, and sure enough, a thousand years ago, there was such a flight that disappeared in the middle of the flight, and at that time, the world searched for it, but it still didn't find it, and it matched the flight they said, and I concluded that this flight finally came back after a thousand years. They are also puzzled by their own experiences, but they have to accept the reality. But things are wrong, and it is difficult to return home. I said don't think about it, it's always a good thing to be back, it's a happy event. ”

"What you said was so big, it can be said to be a sensational event in the world, why was there no news at that time?" Ma Biao said.

"How could there be? I woke up and it wasn't. Xu Jiawei said.

"So you're dreaming?!" everyone laughed.

"Please be careful, there is a suspicion that something is following you. The professor sent an order.

Xu Jiawei They talked and laughed along the way, did not pay attention to the movements around them, nor did they pay attention to how long they flew, they only knew that it was still early to the next node. Just as they were talking, Professor Shen Wei sent a message saying that a suspicious object was following them behind. This is a major situation that cannot but be a cause for concern, and if not handled properly, they will disappear into space forever.

Lin Shanshan turned on the UHF radio receiver and searched for signals within 1,000 light-years around her. Because the signal scan that was turned on for 100 light-years along the way may be too close to catch the signal of the professor's reminder. Originally, they planned to scan it with only 100 light-years on, so that the signal was clear, the speed of conversion to video was fast, and the processing was fast.

Lin Shanshan noticed a red dot about 150 light-years away, and she immediately reported to the professor: "A small red dot was found about 150 light-years away, and the target was too small to see what the object was, and she didn't know the direction of flight. ”

The professor said, "Keep watching. ”

The air inside the spaceship suddenly tensed. Yang Qi said: "Could it be that the advanced life on Planet 2 caught up with us after discovering our traces?"

"I don't think it's very likely, as far as I can see, life on planet 2 is not very advanced, a bit similar to our dinosaur era, there is no advanced life like us 'humans'. Xu Jiawei said.

"Not necessarily. Ma Biao said, "Captain, didn't you say that there was a force pushing you in the fog and pushing you into the air, maybe it was the work of a high-level being. ”

"We didn't find them to be more technological, and there weren't even buildings where we landed. Could it be ......"

"Captain, what did you think of, what else did you discover when you were on Planet 2?" Luo Dongfang said.

"Luo Dongfang, do you think it is possible for advanced life forms to exist in other ways, such as those that are only perceived but not seen?" Xu Jiawei said.

"You're talking about gods, or ghosts from folklore. It may have been thinking this way since humans had thoughts, but there has been no scientific experiment to prove their existence, and from the point of view of atheists, it can only be said that this life form does not exist. Luo Dongfang said.

"That's our earth, what if it's on another planet?" Mr. Xu said.

"The situation you are talking about exists in religion. I'm a life science person, a materialist. Even if there is life on other planets in this way, I think it exists in a tangible way, but we earthlings can't see them with our eyes, because the environment is different, and the way of evolution is different. ”

"In this way, I will not deny that there are advanced life on Planet 2, their way of life is different from that of Earth, they do not need buildings on Earth, they do not need such a diet as Earthlings, and their way of thinking is not something we can imagine. ”

"Yes, they don't breathe oxygen from us earthlings, I found that they also breathe, breathe red gas. Luo Dongfang said.

"Okay, we're on the ground that they're coming after us, everyone get ready. Xu Jiawei asked Su Xiaojia, "How long will it take to fly out of the Centaur?"

"At the moment the velocity has been increased to 300, which is a harvest we didn't expect, and in about a day we will deviate from its gravitational pull and head to the right front, which means that a day later we will start to break away from the constellation Centauri. After the separation, due to the temporary loss of gravity, the speed may have to return to 100, and it will take a while to really fly out of the constellation Centauri. Su Xiaojia said.

"For the rest of the time, we'll keep an eye on the object that catches up behind us, and the storytelling will be pushed back for the time being. But don't be nervous, it's also possible that this is an unknown celestial body, not coming at us, and the speed may not be able to catch up with us, and we will be biased after a day, even if it is chasing us, it will not be able to catch up. Xu Jiawei said.

About 10 hours later, Lin Shanshan reported that the little red dot was less than 100 light-years away from the spacecraft.

"So, it catches up with us before we leave?" Mr. Xu said.

"How can it be so fast?" Su Xiaojia asked, "Is the path the same as ours?" she stared at the red dot on the screen and counted repeatedly, "The path is a little consistent with us, but I'm not sure yet." If it's a celestial body, then it's okay for us to avoid it, but if it's some high-level life that comes at us, then it's troublesome, because they can build such a fast spaceship, and the level of development is far higher than ours. ”

"There's still time, we can either lower our orbit within its gravitational range, or leave its gravitational pull early, and for safety reasons, we won't care about this speed. Xu Jiawei said.

"It's not very clear about its path yet, if it's coming at us, we will move in more than ten hours, leaving quite a long time for it to adjust its target, and it may be better if we get closer and leave it suddenly, and catch it off guard. If it hadn't come at us, it would have been too late for us to get closer and avoid it. I can't see its true face until now, so it must be a small target. Lin Shanshan said.

Professor Shen Wei also said: "Wait a little longer, but be fully prepared, I am also calculating its path here." ”

"Okay, we'll keep an eye on it. Xu Jiawei said.

Less than 50 light-years away. Xu Jiawei asked Lin Shanshan to restore the scanning range to 100 light years, so that she might be able to see the object clearly.

"I can see the outline clearly, and I can preliminarily judge that this is a cylindrical object, not as large as our spaceship, but it is still difficult to determine whether it is a celestial body or a spaceship. Lin Shanshan said.

"Su Xiaojia, how long will it take for us to leave the gravitational range of Centauri?" asked Xu Jiawei.

"The best time to leave is about 5 hours, and you can leave at any time within this time. Su Xiaojia said.

"According to my analysis, if planet 2 catches up, they may give up chasing after we leave Centauri, because they can't figure out where we came from, and they may not be able to defeat us. Leaving Centauri is like leaving its territory, and it doesn't have to bite us. Xu Jiawei said, "Of course, this is just the thinking of our earthlings." ”

Professor Shen Wei's news came, he said: "According to our calculations, the path of this object is very similar to that of the spacecraft, if it flies like this, it will collide soon, and we must be prepared to avoid it immediately." ”

"Understood. Lin Shanshan said.

Suddenly, Xu Jiawei asked the professor, "Professor, is Tianhua Xiaozhi still on Planet 2?"

The professor knew that Xu Jiawei had a new idea, and he wanted to hear what Xu Jiawei had to say. He said, "Yes, it's still on Planet 2, since it's going down, let it stay a little longer, and learn as much as possible about the situation over there." ”

"Are there any new discoveries other than the plants, monsters, and fog that have been discovered before?" asked Xu Jiawei.

"Not yet. The professor said.

"Are you still in place?"

"No, I went to another place, about 500 kilometers in the direction of the plains. ”

"After moving so many ways, I still haven't found anything, and I think the object chasing behind me may be a natural celestial body, and it won't be chasing us. Because, if there is an object to chase us, it can only be Planet 2, we have not been down anywhere else, and people in the vast space can't find us, and even if they do, there is no need to chase us, because we haven't violated people and don't pose a threat to them. Since Tianhua Xiaozhi is still on Planet 2, why don't they get it and chase us from near and far? After all, chasing us is risky, and Tianhua Xiaozhi is in their territory, and there is no risk at all to get it. Xu Jiawei analyzed.

Everyone agreed that Xu Jiawei's analysis was reasonable.

Xu Jiawei continued: "Seeing that this object is getting closer and closer, my opinion is also to be prepared to avoid it, whether it is coming at us or not. Zhou Wenbo, how long will it take for the spaceship to rise instantly?"

Zhou Wenbo heard Xu Jiawei's question in the cabin, and he replied: "A small object like the one behind it will not have any gravitational force, and it can be avoided in 0.01 seconds." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, always be ready, always be ready to avoid. ”

"Understood. ”

This object is getting closer and closer, and when it is less than 20 light years away, it is finally clear that it is a large rock, 25 meters long and about 12 meters in diameter, no wonder it is not clear until it is so close, it is a small natural celestial body, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief. But since the paths are exactly the same, they have to be avoided.

Xu Jiawei instructed Zhou Wenbo to raise the height and avoid it immediately.

"No!" Ma Biao said categorically.
