Chapter 0398: Wandering Stars

Explorer 8 learned nothing more from the crashed spaceship than the spaceship had sent it. He didn't know which civilization this spaceship belonged to, he didn't know how far this civilization was from Earth, and he didn't know if this unknown civilization could invade Earth.

However, Yang Peiqi has a crisis from the heart, that is, in the near future, the earth may be invaded by that unknown civilization, and intelligent life is attacking, especially some powerful intelligent life. Just as Explorer Eight told him, the Eskett civilization that made it controlled several colonies in the universe and was the strongest force in all the universes it knew.

Now, the spaceship from an unknown civilization in front of him is likely to be here to explore the way, preparing for the external expansion of that civilization. Maybe in the next moment, that unknown civilization will invade the earth.

This is definitely not alarmism, but the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of earthlings.

With Yang Peiqi's current ability, he was able to escape from the earth when that unknown civilization invaded. However, after all, the earth is his homeland, and who wants to leave it if possible? Especially if you have to escape in the vast interstellar space.

Therefore, Yang Peiqi is even more eager to find a relatively high-grade mineral deposit, which can repair Explorer 8, in order to obtain enough to resist the unknown civilization that may invade the earth in the future.

Yang Peiqi stepped up her own detection pace.

After exploring Mars, Yang Peiqi did not immediately go to the outer Neptune region, but continued to stay near Mars to explore. Because just between Mars and Jupiter, there is an asteroid belt. There are countless asteroids here. And what we learned from Explorer 8 is that the planet is the main celestial body in the mining star. More than 80 percent of the planets are planets.

The Asteroidbelt is a dense area of asteroids in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, which has been counted by 120,437 asteroids that have been numbered, and 98.5% of the asteroids have been found here. Since this is the region with the highest concentration of asteroids, estimated to number as many as 500,000, this area is known as the main belt, commonly known as the asteroid belt. In the space area of about 2.17-3.64 astronomical units from the Sun, more than 500,000 asteroids are concentrated. An asteroid belt was formed.

The asteroid belt is formed by a group of stars (planetary predecessors that are smaller than planets) in the primordial solar nebula. However, because of the gravitational influence of Jupiter, these stars are prevented from forming planets, causing many stars to collide with each other and form many debris and debris.

The three largest asteroids in the asteroid belt are Homo sapiens, Marriage and Vesta, all with an average diameter of more than 400 kilometers. There is only one dwarf planet in the main belt, Ceres, with a diameter of about 950 km; The rest of the asteroids are smaller, some even the size of dust.

The material in the asteroid belt is very thin, and the asteroids in the main belt are divided into three groups according to their spectrum and main form: carbonaceous, silicate and metallic. Other than that. Collisions between asteroids may form groups of asteroids with similar orbital characteristics and color, and these collisions are also a major source of dust that produces zodiacal light.

Yang Peiqi's success in the asteroid belt is huge, and he has detected more than 100 mining stars here. It's just that these stars are so small. As a result, the total amount of mineral deposits found is not much, and the total amount of mineral deposits found is only about half of the total amount of mineral deposits previously detected on Earth, the Moon and Mars. But despite this, the energy points accumulated by Yang Peiqi at this time have also reached the terrifying figure of five thousand trillion.

The reason why Yang Peiqi's energy point has soared from 30 trillion to 50 billion now. It is because Yang Peiqi found relatively high-grade materials in this asteroid belt.

Saying that the level is relatively high, it is also relative. In fact, it is only a seventh-level substance, and the quantity is limited.

During probing. He discovered an asteroid containing Rank 7 matter. This is a planet with a diameter of only five kilometers, and in front of a planet like Earth, it is really just an inconspicuous little spot. However, Explorer 8 was very excited after discovering the asteroid, and made a move that made Yang Peiqi jaw-dropping, that is, it directly swallowed the asteroid.

After devouring the asteroid, Explorer 8 told Yang Peiqi that its wounds had been repaired by five percent. In other words, this asteroid directly repaired four percent of the wounds of Explorer 8 at once, which is much more effective than the material he obtained when he explored the larger planets of the Earth, the Moon and Mars before.

Subsequently, Yang Peiqi also got a lot of energy point feedback, and this number reached 500 billion! There are so many more energy points than when I got it on Earth, and I almost caught up with the moon.

After detecting this asteroid, Yang Peiqi also vaguely understood a truth, that is, when he was exploring other places before, some of the materials detected were probably swallowed by the guy Explorer 8. Deposits such as iron ore, copper ore, and diamond ore are of little use to it. And those substances that Yang Peiqi didn't know were actually what was really needed to repair the wounds of Explorer 8.

However, although Yang Peiqi had this guess, he did not point it out, let alone ask Explorer 8 directly. After all, even if those material explorers sued him, I'm afraid it would be of little use to him, because with the current level of technology on the earth, he can't keep up with the fact that he can't use those substances. In other words, such a substance is only useful to Explorer 8.

This space exploration trip was originally to repair Explorer 8, and to be able to find useful substances for it made this trip truly meaningful. Otherwise, what is the use of discovering more deposits such as iron ore, copper ore and diamonds?

Especially in the case of the invasion crisis of that unknown civilization, repair Explorer VIII in order to obtain the means to counter the invasion of that unknown civilization. This is what Yang Peiqi wants to see most now. Otherwise, once that unknown civilization invades the earth. Yang Peiqi had no choice but to run away.

After spending three days exploring the asteroid belt. Yang Peiqi took the aircraft and jumped directly into the Kuiper belt.

The Kuiper Belt is a densely populated hollow disk-like region of the solar system near the ecliptic plane outside Neptune's orbit (about 30 AU from the Sun).

The Kuiper Belt is thought to contain many microstars, which are fragments of protoplanetary disks from the Sun that have failed to combine into planets, resulting in smaller bodies, all of which are smaller than 3,000 kilometers in diameter.

The Kuiper Belt is sometimes mistaken for the boundary of the solar system, but the solar system also includes the Oort Nebula, which extends outward two light-years. Back in the 50s, Kuiper and Edgeworth predicted that the edge of the solar system beyond Neptune's orbit would be filled with tiny Xiaoice objects. They are remnants of the primordial solar nebula and the source of short-period comets.

There are many celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt, and this is also the area where Explorer 8 predicted that there may be Zài wandering objects, so Yang Peiqi's detection process is more detailed. During this time, instead of regularly using space jumps to get on the road, he flew in a flying machine, flying at an extreme speed of 5 times the speed of light. Explorer 8's detection range has now expanded to the million-kilometer level, and even at five times the speed of light, it can accurately detect the composition of the celestial objects encountered in the process. Only when encountering some celestial bodies that may contain zài deposits. It will make Yang Peiqi slow down and stop to probe carefully.

In the process of detecting Kuiper Belt objects, Yang Peiqi found a lot of mineral stars, and even found some objects containing Grade 8 and Grade 7 materials, but did not find a celestial body with a large amount of Grade 7 matter found in the asteroid belt.

But. After the Kuiper Belt was explored, Explorer 8's wounds were repaired to seven percent, albeit two percent higher. But it can be regarded as a lot of gains.

As for the energy points obtained by Yang Peiqi, it has reached 700 billion. Other words. Judging from the accumulation of energy points alone, it is obtained in the Kuiper belt. It's no less than the energy points you got in the asteroid belt at the beginning.

It's just that Yang Peiqi found the wandering star with great hope, but no trace was found.

After exploring the Kuiper Belt, it has been eight days since Yang Peiqi's interstellar exploration trip. At this time, there are only four days left before Wimbledon starts. When Yang Peiqi went to Moscow to meet Sharapova before, but promised him that he would go to London to watch her match, Yang Peiqi didn't want to be a person who didn't keep his word, so he decided to speed up his journey.

So, Yang Peiqi jumped through the guò space again and went directly to the Oort cloud area.

The Oort cloud region is a chaotic region because not only are there trillions of cold objects and huge masses, but objects here move very slowly and can be affected by unusual conditions such as collisions, gravitational effects of celestial bodies, or galactic tides. Therefore, it is impossible to fly at super speeds of five times the speed of light as in the Kuiper Belt, because if you fly like this, there is a 100% chance of tragedy. Celestial bodies that move in a good and irregular manner are definitely killers of vehicles that travel at five times the speed of light.

Coupled with the vast size of the Oort cloud region, which surrounds the solar system at a distance of about 5,000 AU and up to 10,000 AU, it would take an unknown amount of time to detect these regions even if they are flying at faster than the speed of light.

However, what Yang Peiqi lacks most now is time.

Therefore, in this area, Yang Peiqi had to explore this vast area more by means of spatial jumps.

In this way, the speed of detection is increased, but it is inevitable that some celestial objects will be missed.

It's just that this is also Yang Peiqi's choice in desperation, he can only hope that his luck is not too bad, because of the space jump and miss the valuable celestial body.

On the first day of entering the Oort Cloud, Yang Peiqi made no less than 100 space jumps, and there were many areas to explore, and he found a lot of mineral stars, and even obtained some celestial bodies containing eighth-level and seventh-level substances, and obtained more than 100 trillion energy points.

The only regret for Yang Peiqi is that the wandering celestial object he most hopes to find is nowhere to be found.

The next day also passed in the process of continuous space jumping, and Yang Peiqi once again gained more than 100 trillion energy points. Although because of the large amount of consumption in the past two days, he has now accumulated nearly 800 trillion energy points. However, he still did not encounter a wandering celestial body.

The time entered the third day, which was also the last day of Yang Peiqi's planned space exploration trip. If there is no big gain today, Yang Peiqi decided to rush back to Earth.

The time was close to noon, and after Yang Peiqi jumped into a cold and dark interstellar space through guò space again, he asked the super machine qì human bodyguard to drive the aircraft and start the exploration at the speed of light.

By now, Yang Peiqi no longer had any hope of finding the wandering star.

Yang Peiqi listened to the music while thinking about what would happen after returning to Earth. However, at this time, Explorer 8 told him that the target appeared, and in its detection area, a wandering object was discovered.

Yang Peiqi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the super machine bodyguard to drive the aircraft and fly in the direction of the target.

The vehicle flies at the speed of light, approaching the target after two seconds, and slows down towards the target.

What appeared in front of Yang Peiqi was a huge planet with colorful colors. The planet is even larger than Jupiter, the largest of the eight planets. In the number of the planet given by Explorer 8, Yang Peiqi saw that its diameter exceeded 300,000 kilometers and reached 360,000 kilometers, which is more than twice the size of Jupiter and three times that of Saturn, the second largest planet in the solar system.

Yang Peiqi never imagined that a planet could be as big as this. You must know that even the diameter of the sun, which is less than 1.4 million kilometers, is more than a quarter of the diameter of the sun.

At the same time, Yang Peiqi is also very curious why scientists on Earth have not discovered this wandering planet until now. You know, there are already speculations about wandering planets on Earth now, and even exploration in this area has begun. Although this wandering planet is far away from the earth, more than 9,000 astronomical units, that is, 1,350 billion kilometers, it is not impossible to discover.

When Yang Peiqi was puzzled, the super machine bodyguards had already controlled the aircraft, and under the guidance of Explorer 8, they approached the super wandering planet, and began to orbit the low-orbit space of this wandering planet at the speed of one hundredth of light.
