Chapter 120, Sea of Stars

In the vast cosmic void, the 'Explorer' space battleship is constantly flying at warp speed, and each warp speed flight can span a distance of 10 light years.

The distance of 10 light years is very long, and it takes ten years to travel at the speed of light, but this distance is only a small distance for the infinite universe.

Even if you don't need to put it in the entire vast universe, even for the entire galaxy, the distance of 10 light years is still a very, very small point.

Every time the Explorer space battleship jumps in the void 10 times, that is, every 100 light-years of distance, it will stop to conduct an inspection, and at the same time, it can also give the team of cosmic astronomers led by Cao Yadong a certain amount of time to observe the possible black holes ahead.

"Didi~"

All kinds of scientific detection instruments on the battleship are fully open, constantly receiving information from the stars in the universe.

"Haha, it's a small black hole, although the mass of this black hole is only four million times the mass of the sun, compared to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, it can't be compared at all, but it is indeed a black hole."

Cao Yadong's mind was connected to the virtual world, and there was a huge star map in his mind, and the core of the star map was the goal of this exploration.

After consulting with the crew of the 'Explorer' and the joint request of many scientists in the scientific community here in the base camp, the base camp finally agreed to the 'Explorer' to continue to explore the area that may be suspected of having a black hole.

At this time, the Explorer space battleship had already left the solar system at a distance of 300 light years, and at this distance, the information observed was very detailed, and he could now be 100% sure that there was indeed a black hole in the void 800 light years ahead.

"That's right, this is indeed a black hole, it seems that our inference was correct, there should be a lot of black holes in the entire Milky Way, in addition to the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, in the entire Milky Way, there should still be some similar small-mass black holes."

In the virtual world, Long Yuankong's figure flashed out, thanks to quantum communication technology, even if it is a distance of hundreds of light years, the 'Explorer' can still contact the base camp anytime and anywhere.

Because there may be black holes, the scientific community here in the base camp is also highly concerned.

Cosmic astronomers have discovered a lot of black holes in the cosmic void, and even with the help of super-large space telescopes, some changes in black holes can be observed.

But no one could have imagined that there would be a black hole in the void just 1,100 light-years away from the solar system, which could be regarded as the most significant discovery of this century.

1100 light years is not an untransversible distance for the current Xinghan, with a warp speed engine that can fly at a warp speed of 10 light years at a time, the distance of 1100 light years is not too far, and it can even be said that it is close by.

This discovery has excited the entire Xinghan scientists, and such a close proximity to a black hole means that it will be extremely convenient for scientists to study black holes.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the entire scientific community were on the 'Explorer' side, and every time the information received was shared back to the base camp at the same time, and the scientists in the base camp were also analyzing it at the same time.

Long Yuankong is a master in the fields of astronomy, space science, warp engine, and physics, almost all of which involve black holes.

Needless to say, in the field of cosmic astronomical science, the most favorite thing for cosmic astronomical scientists to study is black holes, and this most special and extreme celestial body in the universe is definitely the object of their tireless research.

The same is true in the field of space science, according to the research in the field of space science, this black hole will exert tremendous pressure on space because of its extremely large mass, distorting and folding space, and so on.

The warp engine and the field of physics are also related to black holes, warp speed flight involves folding space, if you can have a deep understanding through the study of black holes, this is also a lot of help for the development of warp engine technology.

His own students suspected of discovering the existence of a black hole, and Long Yuankong had to contact Cao Yadong almost every day to see the latest data, so as to deduce whether it was a black hole in the void in front of him.

The latest data came out, and as soon as scientists calculated, they could be 100% sure in an instant that there was indeed a black hole ahead, a black hole with a small mass.

"Teacher~"

Cao Yadong greeted his teacher.

"On this side of the solar system, the black hole is located in a range of about 100 light-years that I didn't notice before."

"Right now, the number of stars calculated within a hundred light-years of this black hole is at least a million, which is incredible."

"It's as if all the stars around it have been hit together."

Cao Yadong enlarged the background map in the virtual world, the area where the black hole is located is pitch black, but in the area outside the black hole, it is dazzling, countless lights are constantly flickering, and the stars here are too dense.

"Have you given this area a name?"

Long Yuankong nodded, then thought about it and asked.

"Not yet, or you can help me come up with a name, teacher."

Cao Yadong smiled and shook his head and said.

"Let's call it the sea of stars, the stars here are too dense, and the light emitted by the stars is like the ocean, and the face is all over the place."

Long Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Xinghai~ is still a great teacher, and he is so good at choosing a name."

When Cao Yadong heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but compliment his teacher.

"Don't be a sycophant, the stars on this side of the Star Sea are so dense, I estimate that there may be a powerful civilization on the Star Sea side, so it's better for you to be careful, the closer you get to the Star Sea, the more dangerous it is, and you need to be more cautious on your side."

Long Yuankong smiled, and after thinking about it, he also told Cao Yadong here.

"I know that there will definitely be a powerful civilization on this side of the sea of stars, such a dense number of stars, the distance between these stars is very close, the distance between the stars around the civilized solar system is a few light years, a few light years, the stars in this sea of stars, the distance between each other is calculated in astronomical units."

"In such a prosperous place, I don't know what kind of prosperous civilized world it will be."

Cao Yadong looked yearning, and he really wanted to see the prosperity of this sea of stars.

The Explorer spacecraft continued to move towards the sea of stars, but the closer it got to the sea of stars, the more cautious the Explorer became.

When the Explorer left the solar system for 600 light-years and was only 500 light-years away from the sea of stars, the Explorer began to fly slowly and slowly between the star systems, observing the situation in these star systems while continuing to explore the sea of stars.

"The density of stars is getting bigger and bigger, and at a distance of 500 light years from the sea of stars, the density between stars is already ten times the density of stars around the solar system."

In the control and command center of the 'Explorer', Cao Yadong and Liao Yuan looked at the direction of the sea of stars, the originally dark starry sky had begun to change into orders, and the direction of the sea of stars in front of them was bright, very dazzling, as if a huge gem was shining in the starry sky.

"Fortunately, the civilizations we have discovered so far have very low civilization levels, and there are no civilizations with strong strength."

Liao Yuan nodded and said, The speed of the 'Explorer' is much slower, much slower, almost flying slowly between star systems, and before it reaches a star system, it has to stop and explore the situation in this star system.

"The distance between the stars here and the nearest star is only less than two light-years away, and the stars in this sea of stars are estimated to be next to each other, as long as they develop to level 2 cosmic civilizations, these civilizations can expand in the interstellar universe."

Cao Yadong thought for a while and said.

"So we have to be more careful and move on."

Liao Yuan nodded and ordered the 'Explorer' space battleship to continue moving in the direction of the Star Sea.

Time flickered, and after a few months, the 'Explorer' advanced in the direction of the sea of stars about 100 light-years, and it was only 400 light-years away from the sea of stars.

On the periphery of an unknown planetary system, in the cold and pitch-black void, accompanied by bursts of spatial ripples, a space-time wormhole continued to blur, and a huge space warship flew out of it.

This space battleship is naturally the 'Explorer', as soon as the warp speed flight ends, the 'Explorer' begins to become extremely busy, the probes continue to spread out in all directions, and at the same time, all kinds of advanced detection instruments on the battleship are also fully open, and they begin to receive all kinds of signals from the void continuously.

"Didi~Didi~"

"A large number of electromagnetic wave signals have been discovered~"

"A large number of electromagnetic wave signals have been discovered~"

The electromagnetic wave signal receiver on the battleship was turned on at the moment when a massive amount of electromagnetic signals surged, which shocked the spirits of the scientists on the spaceship.

There are a large number of electromagnetic wave signals, which means that there may be a fairly well-developed civilization in the planetary system in front of you, and there are a large number of electromagnetic signals in the periphery of the planetary system, and it is basically certain that this civilization should have developed to the level of at least level 2 cosmic civilization, otherwise a large number of electromagnetic signals will not be found in the periphery.

"All obey orders and go to the highest state of alert."

Liao Yuan, the captain of the 'Explorer' space battleship, also ordered vigilance as soon as possible for the sake of safety, and it was better to be cautious in the face of unknown civilizations.
