Time is speeding forward once again......

A lot of stories happen, a lot of stories end......

It's 3553, and it's a cold year.

In hibernation and awakening again and again, Zhang Yuan has gradually forgotten the concept of time, and the 31st century is not much different from the 36th century, or the 40th century.

Or rather, all astronauts.

The conditions of the Earth Age can only maintain a minimum standard of survival, and do not support large-scale experimental research. Except for some advances in biology and information technology, most of the technology is stuck in the year 2264, when it was set out.

Looking at the empty ceiling and the milky white light, Zhang Yuan secretly muttered in his heart, this seems to be the fourth time...... Hibernation woke up, right?

In 1,300 years, the spacecraft has flown a distance of nearly 9.1 light-years.

This is definitely a huge milestone in the history of mankind. But it's a pity that human beings on Earth don't care and don't know about the achievement of this milestone.

"That...... Is there anything big going on in the spaceship? Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Xuanxuan who was standing next to the hospital bed, and he was in a good mood. It is indeed a good thing to have a familiar female companion.

"Don't be scared, the aliens are coming!" Lin Xuanxuan said mysteriously while peeling apples: "More than a hundred years ago, astronomers observed an alien spaceship, and Hula flew in front!" ”

"Really?!" Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and didn't believe it in his heart, "Could it be that our spaceship has been hijacked by aliens, and you are controlled by aliens?" ”

"Of course it's true!" Soon, Lin Xuanxuan made a grimace: "Zhang Yuan, I'm Amoebaraba, a Zenith Starman, please hand over your precious beef jerky...... Otherwise, one bite will kill you! ”

Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing, and then there was a burst of dizziness.

His current frail body is not yet capable of bearing such mood swings.

The medical instrument produced a sharp warning sound, and Lin Xuanxuan realized that she had done something wrong, and quickly pressed the alarm of the machine. If the head nurse knew that she was teasing the patient, she would definitely be scolded half to death, even if it was a life partner.

She hurriedly said, "It's really an alien spaceship!" Wait a minute, I'll show you the news. ”

"But you rest first, sleep first, or I'll be scolded!"

After sleeping hard for so many hours, Zhang Yuan finally had a little strength.

Zhang Yuan looked at the photo on the screen, his pupils contracted slightly......

Unexpectedly......

There really are alien spaceships!

More than a hundred years ago, a UFO passed by the Earth Age, the minimum distance ...... That's about 0.12 light years!

"How is that possible...... Such a coincidence? Zhang Yuan was very surprised.

Looking at the news on the website, a large number of messages and related conference reports, it is definitely not a joke for Lin Xuanxuan.

Fortunately, when this alien spaceship was observed, it happened to be a big year, and Captain Lin was also in a conscious state, and he immediately ordered the entire spacecraft to be kept in radio silence to reduce the possibility of being observed by the other party.

Earth Age is not a military spaceship, and it does not carry a single nuclear bomb, not even weapons such as electromagnetic guns and lasers. Every bit of load inside the ship is precious, and since it is not capable of maintaining these delicate weapons for a long time, it is simply not installed.

The soldiers in the spaceship act as police officers, and if they want to wear firearms, they need to make additional reports.

In the case of human defenseless, Zhang Yuan certainly thought that Captain Lin's decision was quite correct, and radio silence was already the best way. Regardless of whether the aliens have good intentions or bad intentions, there is no need to gamble on the morality of the other party with the lives of all the people in the cabin.

At that time, people just expected that in the vast universe, separated by 0.12 light years, the other party would not find themselves. This distance is actually quite far, equivalent to 7,600 AU, compared to the fact that the Sun is only 59 AU away from Pluto.

Because it has been more than a hundred years since this incident happened, and the ending is already doomed, Zhang Yuan naturally did not panic so much.

But he could imagine the level of fear at the time, like an unarmed baby who stumbled upon a Tyrannosaurus rex in the jungle.

To this day, I can still see the desperate messages of people at that time on the Internet.

“…… I can't fall asleep for a long time, for fear that the next second will be a big disaster. Lightspeed weapons cannot be observed, and if they do, they will be hit. ”

"I'm so scared, is anyone willing to hug me?"

“…… I remembered the miso soup my mother made, and I really wanted to take a sip. ”

Fortunately, under the strict control of the top, there was no major chaos.

From this point of view, the administrative directive of the new Captain Lin is quite timely.

It took about half a year for the two ships to get closer to each other, and then they gradually separated, and nothing happened.

People are able to observe each other because the other party's spaceship is extremely large, comparable to a planet, and actively emits light, otherwise it would not be possible to know.

Zhang Yuan carefully analyzed a series of information brought by this incident.

He sighed softly: "In the vast space, we suddenly encountered an extremely large alien spaceship...... This probability is like throwing a rock into space at random, and it hits an alien in the head hundreds of light-years away. ”

“…… We didn't hit it! Lin Xuanxuan said with a smile: "It's 0.12 light years apart, which is quite a large search range!" And we've been sailing for 1,300 years, so even a small probability event is not a big deal for such a long time......"

Zhang Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while: "I think that we can estimate the frequency of activities of extraordinary civilizations in the universe based on this!" ”

Zhang Yuan consulted some UFO records recorded in history, "In the first year of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, in August, there were two months of succession, and I saw the east in the morning. ”

The object that can appear in the east in the early morning will never be the moon, let alone two moons, and its shape is like a crescent moon supporting each other, obviously not a natural star, but somewhat like a modern spaceship.

Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" of the Song Dynasty also recorded some stories of UFOs: there was a strange large bead in the Yangzhou area, which was shaped like a mussel shell, which was exactly the shape of a typical flying saucer, and would emit a strong light. It stayed there for more than a decade, staying in three lakes at one time, perhaps collecting water creatures from the earth.

The author also emphasizes that many inhabitants have seen it, proving that it was not imagined or fabricated by themselves.

Of course, whether these historical records have happened or not remains to be considered, and can only be used as a reference.
