The gaze returned to the cold and dark Cooper Belt.

Hundreds of millions of years of dead silence were cut through by a faint blue light, and it was the exploration of the 0016 satellite.

The Cooper's belt is extremely empty, except for Pluto-like objects, there are particles that are free of the void, and high-energy rays that come from all directions.

In the void, which is difficult to observe with the naked eye, gravitational waves fill every corner like ocean waves.

They may come from the Sun, Neptune, Pluto...... and the mysterious Void Hole.

The Exploration 0016 satellite, which has modified the flight destination, is using a plasma engine to accelerate towards the wormhole while absorbing the surrounding free particles.

Originally, there was no need to accelerate the exploration of the 0016 satellite, but after the destination was changed from the previous 9 billion kilometers of solar orbit to 37.1 billion kilometers of solar orbit, the range was increased by more than four times, and it was not possible to accelerate it.

Through the continuous acceleration of the plasma engine, the speed of the 0016 satellite has been increased to 844 kilometers per second.

As the wormhole gets closer and closer, the satellite receives more and more gravitational wave signals, and the data of the wormhole becomes clearer and clearer.

This mysterious wormhole was named "Nemesis" by the Astronomical Society.

The reason why it is called Nemesis is actually related to the "Nemesis Hypothesis" of the last century.

In the long history of Blue Star for 4.6 billion years, there have been countless extinction events, large and small, and putting these extinction events together, a little pattern can be vaguely seen.

Geologists, paleontologists and astrophysicists will conduct detailed statistical analyses of biodiversity declines over different historical periods, and can show a rough period.

This mysterious phenomenon has led many scientists to believe that the extinction event on the blue star has a strange pattern of 26 million years of cycles.

It is as if a mysterious force periodically emerges to obliterate the dominant species on the Blue Star to make way for new ones, and the forces within the Blue Star cannot provide an explanation for the periodic extinctions.

So in the last century, some scientists opened their brains to outer space and put forward the "Nemesis Hypothesis".

The Nemesis hypothesis simply states that the Sun has a brown or red dwarf companion star that revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with extremely high eccentricity.

According to its orbital period, it can be calculated that the far end of its orbit is 1.5 light-years away from the Sun, beyond the Oort cloud.

When it enters the solar system, its gravitational pull disturbs the celestial bodies in the Oort cloud, causing a large number of comets and asteroids to enter the inner solar system and bombard all the planets.

Comets and meteorites are amazingly destructive to the biosphere, and if this theory is true, then periodic extinctions are not surprising.

This mysterious killer hidden in the solar system is called the goddess of revenge.

Despite the fact that the Oort Cloud and Cooper Belts do have strange disturbances, the search for Nemesis has not been smooth.

From the 80s of the last century to the beginning of the 21st century, several searches by different teams failed.

At the same time, most paleontologists have come to agree that mass extinction events are not cyclical.

As a result, the assumption of Nemesis came to an end.

It's just that the strange disturbance of the Oort cloud, and the cliff phenomenon of the Cooper belt, have become a mystery in the minds of astronomers.

The Cooper Belt Cliff Zone refers to a distance of 2:5 resonance around the Sun's orbit of 8.25 billion kilometers, and the early Cooper Belt model suggested that the number of large objects beyond the Sun's 7.5 billion kilometers orbit should be increased by two orders of magnitude.

However, the fact that the number of large objects in this region has not risen but fallen, and it is called the "Cooper Belt Cliff", which is completely unexpected, and its origin is still unknown.

The evidence that astronomers of the New Era have found that objects with diameters of 100 kilometers or more are indeed abruptly decreasing over a large area behind the Sun's orbit of 7.5 billion kilometers is not an observational bias.

Some astronomers have put forward the "dark blue star hypothesis", which believes that there is an object about the size of a blue star in the cliff belt of the Cooper Belt, which may explain this phenomenon.

Unfortunately, New Era's high-precision astronomical and radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, and neutrino detectors have not detected the presence of "dark blue stars" in this area.

……

After the gravitational field of the wormhole was introduced, the cause of the Cooper belt cliff phenomenon and the Oort cloud disturbance was finally revealed.

No wonder the astronomical telescope has not been able to observe this celestial object, it turned out to be a wormhole hidden in the void.

If it is a natural wormhole, it is impossible to appear so close to the solar system, because the gravitational pull of a natural wormhole is not weaker than that of a black hole.

A natural wormhole with a diameter of 3,734 meters, the gravitational field it generates is enough to destroy the solar system, and even neutron stars can't withstand it.

If the wormhole was made by the Nibelons, it means that the wormhole must allow normal matter to pass through safely (and the Nibelons are also made of normal matter), otherwise what is this wormhole for?

As for how the Nibelons made wormholes, Huang Mingzhe had some speculations in his heart, such as the energy siphon effect, which may be the key technology for the other party to light up the artificial wormhole technology.

It's a pity that the terrible consequences of the energy siphon effect have discouraged new humans.

……

The exploration 0016 satellite continues to fly outside the Cooper Belt, which is between the 6 billion km orbit of the Sun ~ 30 billion km orbit, and beyond the 30 billion km orbit is the region of the Oort Cloud.

The Nemesis wormhole is just at the junction of the Oort Cloud and the Cooper Belt, which is why the gravitational field of the wormhole disturbs the surrounding celestial bodies.

The data of the use is constantly fed back to the Lunar Space Communication Center.

These iron-like data made all astrophysicists and astronomers have to accept Huang Mingzhe's model.

After all the impossibility is eliminated, all that remains is the truth, no matter how perverse it may be.

What exactly is on the other side of the wormhole? The horror of the unknown makes all those who know the truth full of curiosity and inexplicable unease.

Even if you know that curiosity can kill cats, no one will sit idly by, and the existence of the Nemesis wormhole is a huge threat to the solar system.

Without figuring out the secrets behind the Nemesis wormhole, the new humans will not give up.

……

The disturbances outside did not affect Huang Mingzhe's research work, and he continued to study the degenerate materials in depth with Ma Zhili, Li Qun and others.

The Nibelons are something that the new humans will have to face sooner or later, and whether the other party is dead or alive is vital to the new humans.

Huang Mingzhe didn't pin his hopes on the black hole bomb, the speed of this thing is a hard flaw.

In the interstellar era, speed is king.

Now the spaceship of the new human race, the speed itself, even one thousandth of the speed of light is difficult to break through, how to face the Nibelungs who can develop the speed of the spaceship to 10%.

Iron also needs to be hard, Huang Mingzhe needs to upgrade the materials of new humans, and the degenerate state is a very clear general direction.

March 11, 3rd year of the new era.

The large particle collider in Lunar Sea City is once again surging with violent energy, as if it is a stream of particles that open the world, creating the most terrifying celestial body in the universe, and also creating the strongest materials.

He had figured out why the N16 materials of the Nibelon spaceship could have such a long lifespan.

Today's experiment is to test his theory.

Li Qun and others on the side were also full of expectations and apprehensions.
