Chapter 559: Proxima Centauri
Galaxy 6, August 24.
Explorer 2 in a state of transition.
"According to the report, Hsiungfeng 53 has successfully reached the interior of Proxima Centauri and has now exited the state of transition."
Ma Wu hurriedly clicked on the holographic projection, and a new unfamiliar galaxy appeared in front of him, among which the red dwarf star main sequence star was Proxima Centauri's galaxy (South Gate 2C).
There is also a giant Jupiter, three terrestrial planets, a dwarf planet, and two asteroid belts.
Under the detection of powerful dark wave radar, the entire Proxima Centauri galaxy was completely presented in front of everyone, and the two positions of the flashing red light spots were the positions of the Hsiungfeng 53 probe and the explorer 2.
The Hsiungfeng-53 probe is currently orbiting in the inner asteroid belt of Proxima Centauri, while Explorer 2 is rapidly approaching Proxima Centauri.
"Proxima B, the first orbiting planet, is a terrestrial planet with a radius of about 4,300 kilometers and no natural satellite ......"
"Proxima C, the second orbiting planet, is a Jupiter-like planet with a radius of ......"
As more detailed information came in, Ma Wu focused on gravitational wave detections around Proxima Centauri.
In addition to the gravitational depression generated by Proxima Centauri, gravitational depressions were also found on the two stars Nanhe-2a and Nanhe-2b not far from Proxima Centauri.
The gravitational depression is the gravitational depression caused by the massive planet, which is shown as a depression in space on the gravitational field star map, and the more massive the planet, the larger the gravitational depression caused by it.
"Investigate if there are any obvious gravitational depressions in the void between Proxima Centauri and Nanhe 2a and Nanhe 2b." Ma Wu commanded.
"Okay." The radar soldiers quickly started supercomputing analysis and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the gravitational field between Proxima Centauri and Nanhe 2a and Nanhe 2b.
Explorer 2 is still flying.
Galaxy 6, August 29.
"Report, in the void between Proxima Centauri and Nanhe 2a and Nanhe 2b, three suspected target areas have been discovered."
"Three?"
Ma Wu partially enlarged the star map, three red crosses flashed on the star map, and the No. 1 area was obviously a high-quality iron-nickel asteroid; Area 2 is the wreckage of a planet that may have been torn apart by the gravitational pull of Nanhe 2A or Nanhe 2B; Region 3 is a state of eerie gravity.
The gravitational pull around Region III is very normal, but there is a gravitational hole with a radius of 8,000 kilometers in the middle, where the gravitational force is very small, less than one hundredth of the cosmic gravitational constant.
Fang Haibo glanced at it: "It seems that we are going to find the natural wormhole in Area Three." ”
"It's only 5.3 units away from Proxima Centauri, but those two stars are a nuisance." Ma Wu touched his chin and said.
"It's really a trouble, judging from the data fed back by the Hsiungfeng-53 probe in the past few days, the two stars of Nanhe 2AB are very violent, and stellar storms and high-energy particle eruptions are almost the norm." Fang Haibo pointed to some data and said.
"And in addition to a huge number of asteroids, no large planets have been found in the main galaxy of Nanhe 2AB, it seems that it should be destroyed by gravity, let's focus on Proxima Centauri!" Ma Wu is also very helpless, this is the terrible thing about double stars or triple stars.
Once it is confirmed that it is a binary star or a triple star, it can basically be recognized as an inanimate galaxy.
"Captain, where are we going to be at anchorage?" Kobayashi asked, turning his head.
Ma Wu knocked on the table, looked at the four planets in Proxima Centauri, excluded the first orbital planet, and finally decided that the anchorage of the second orbital planet, Proxima C, was on a natural satellite of Proxima C.
Proxima Centauri C is a typical gaseous planet, only about a quarter the size of Jupiter, with 11 natural satellites, and Ma Wu chose one of the geologically stable rocky moons, with a radius of about 910 kilometers.
"That's it."
“OK。”
Masayoshi Kobayashi set the anchorage and revised the Explorer 2's escape endpoint.
In the dim starry sky, the Explorer twisted space and walked alone, the stars as guiding lights, cutting through the gravitational waves.
Perhaps they are accustomed to loneliness, or they insist on their ideals, or they enjoy the excitement of adventure, and they embark on the journey of the sea of stars with various ideas.
Faster-than-light navigation has accelerated the speed of human exploration, and it is these human pioneers who have opened up territory for human civilization and obtained a broader living space for human beings.
After Ma Wu wrote down the diary for the day, he stretched his waist and stood up, the cabin was still calm and waveless, but the outside was distorted and white.
The time that has passed is gone, it is impossible to go back to the place that has been walked, time makes everything impossible to stand still, maybe the moment when the universe ends is the moment when the universe is born.
Galaxy 6, September 7.
In the void, 15 units above Jupiter (Proxima C), there were sudden ripples in space, and Explorer 2 finally reached Proxima Centauri after a 51-day flight.
Now Explorer 2 can only move forward using a photonic engine. A distance of 15 units is only about 7 hours for a gamma-class photonic engine that reaches 30% of the speed of light.
Ma Wu commanded: "Full speed towards the destination." ”
"Yes."
Since Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, its gravitational pull is not as strong as that of the Sun, and its planetary orbits are relatively close to the main-sequence star, for example, Jupiter is only 1.9 units away from Proxima Centauri.
Through the window of the cabin, Ma Wu could see a red ball of light in the void not far away, and the light of Proxima Centauri was not as strong as the sun, and it looked like a salted duck egg yolk.
Judging from the monitoring data of the Hsiungfeng 53 probe, Proxima Centauri's stellar activity is relatively stable, and it is a low-helium star with a life span of at least hundreds of billions of years, which is longer than the sun.
Seven hours later, Explorer 2 was safely anchored on the moon of Jupiter.
Ma Wu immediately commanded, "Justice, you are responsible for spreading protons to Proxima Centauri. ”
"Okay."
"Haibo, let's build a base here together."
"No problem."
Masayoshi Kobayashi activates the particle emitter to shoot protons into Proxima Centauri's galaxy in all directions.
Fang Haibo activated the electromagnetic cannon and directly injected a ring-shaped tree seed into the satellite-Xinyanxing, and the ring-shaped tree seed entered the underground rock formation, and then grew wildly.
Soon a layer of silver-white covered an area with a radius of 5 kilometers, and then Ma Wu operated the Explorer 2 to land, and engineering robots rushed out, and condensed matter grinders dug tunnels and cabins in the ring tree.
This way of construction engineering is standardized, and soon warehouses, communication stations, radar stations, factories, living quarters, etc. are quickly formed, as well as the arrangement of weapons and equipment.
Everything was going in an orderly manner, and Ma Wu was trying to go down to the ground base to take a look.
"Captain, there's a situation!" Kobayashi suddenly shouted.
Ma Wu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"...... on that natural wormhole"
