Chapter 1118: The Great Net
Back in the sixties of the last century, astronomers on Earth were full of controversy about Barnard. The main source of controversy www.biquge.info Barnard is whether Barnard has two massive Jupiter-like planets.
One theory is that there are two gas giants with masses 0.8 and 0.4 times the mass of Jupiter around Barnard, but this claim has never been confirmed, so astronomers on Earth have been debating the question of whether Barnard has two massive gas giants for more than half a century.
Until now, the debate has not ended.
However, with Tang piloting the Nautilus to the Barnard star system, the argument finally came to a conclusion.
Barnard has planets, and it's similar to Proxima Centauri. Barnard has only seven planets, which is much less than Proxima Centauri. However, Barnard does not have gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, and the six planets orbiting Barnard are all rocky planets, that is, terrestrial planets.
It is no wonder that although Proxima Centauri is smaller than Barnard, it is in a triple star system, in addition to Proxima Centauri's own gravity, stars A and B have greater gravitational attraction, and these three stars orbit each other, and their gravitational circles are even larger than the sun.
As the third in the South Gate II star system, Proxima Centauri will definitely automatically wear this gravitational bonus ring. Or to put it simply, many of the fifteen planets in Proxima Centauri were pulled together by Proxima Centauri with the help of the gravitational pull of the other two stars.
Barnard, on the other hand, is a fraction of its size and mass larger than Proxima Centauri, but it is a single star like the Sun. Without the help of his teammates, Barnard Star can only fight alone, and it is very good to be able to win over seven younger brothers.
Among these seven planets, there is a terrestrial planet about 1.1 astronomical units from Barnard, a rocky planet with a mass of about 2.4 times that of Earth, and it is also the largest of the seven planets in terms of volume and mass, and is the eldest of the six younger brothers of Barnard.
In fact, this rocky planet has been observed by Earth's astronomers with the help of Kepler telescopes several years ago, and this terrestrial planet, which is about 2.4 times more massive than Earth, has been named "Kepler-22b" by Earth's astronomers. At the same time, two terrestrial planets of similar mass to Earth were also observed, and these two terrestrial planets were also named "Kepler-20e" and "Kepler-20f".
The terrestrial planet, named Kepler-22b, was the first terrestrial planet discovered by Earth's astronomers outside the solar system, and many people were still cheering about the discovery at the time. Because as long as a terrestrial planet is discovered, then this planet has the potential to become a target planet for future interstellar migration of mankind.
It's just that when Tang Feng was drawing a map of Barnard's star system, he also made contact with "Kepler-22b" at zero distance. To Tang Feng's slight disappointment, although the size of this terrestrial planet is not small, its environment is not suitable for earthlings to survive on it.
Not to mention the atmospheric environment of "Kepler-22b", the temperature on this terrestrial planet alone is enough to make earthlings unbearable.
After all, Barnard is just a red dwarf, and its surface temperature is just over 3,000 degrees Celsius, nearly twice as low as the Sun. Moreover, "Kepler-22b" is farther away from Barnard than the Earth from the Sun, so the surface temperature of the terrestrial planet "Kepler-22b" is very low, even in its equatorial region, the maximum temperature is only minus 193 degrees, which is even lower than the temperature of the dark side of the moon, and human beings cannot survive on it at all.
As for the other two terrestrial planets, the situation is even worse than Kepler-22b, because these two terrestrial planets are farther away from Barnard than Kepler-22b.
In addition to these three terrestrial planets, the other four rocky planets are as small as Mercury and Martian Sword in volume and mass, and one of them is even inferior in mass and volume to Mercury.
But in any case, the seven planets orbiting Barnard, as well as numerous moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and many more small bodies, have formed a star system similar to the size of the solar system.
However, Barnard's galaxy is much smaller than the solar system.
There's no way around it, I'm trying to win over more younger brothers, but I really want to kill the thief, and I can't go back to heaven. Who made Lao Tzu so big and so attractive?
But no matter how small the Barnard galaxy is, this is also a star system, for Tang Feng, no matter how small the mosquito is, it has meat, eat it, there is no negotiation!
The mastery of the South Gate II galaxy two months ago has brought about a huge change in the space of the star core. Although the star core only controls the three stars in the South Gate II star system and 33% of the total number of planets and other celestial bodies, because the three most important stars have been completely controlled by the star core, the dark energy of the South Gate II star system has been perfectly combined with the dark energy of the solar system.
It's like a spider's web, a big web centered on the sun. If the solar system is regarded as the most central support node, and the second south gate and the star systems around the solar system are regarded as other support nodes, then the two support nodes of this large network are now perfectly connected.
What Tang Feng needs to do is to constantly connect all nodes with the sun, and finally make this big net take shape.
Barnard's galaxy, despite its small size, is an indispensable node in this large net!
Without the slightest hesitation, after Tang Feng drew the star map of Barnard's star system according to the usual practice, he immediately started to work on this star system.
A week later, after Tang Feng consumed a full forty star core splits, this small Barnard star system was completely controlled by Tang Feng.
The territory of the star core space has been further expanded, and the next step is for Tang Feng to make persistent efforts and continue to expand this large net to the infinite void.
After getting the Barnard star system, Tang Feng did not return to Earth, but went directly to the other star system closest to the Barnard star system. This star system is the Ross 154 star system.
At a distance of 9.68 light-years from the Solar System, this star system is the 10th closest star system to the Solar System. But this star system is only 5.41 light-years away from Barnard, making it the closest star system to Barnard's star. (To be continued.) )
