This is the 21st year since leaving the Sunrise system. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During this long voyage, there was only endless emptiness. It was only at this moment that the expeditionary force finally observed the rest of the large interstellar matter except for the fleet.

It was an area similar to the Oort Cloud of the solar system, and a large number of wandering small objects, comets, and interstellar dust began to appear intensively in the observation range of the expeditionary force.

A large meteorite with a diameter of about 50 kilometers was approached, and it was composed mainly of dry ice and iron ore.

The expeditionary force did not evade, but went straight forward at high speed.

The next moment, a strange scene appeared!

Visually, the large meteorite crashed directly into one of the leading space carriers! However, in the next moment, neither the meteorite nor the space carrier were unusual, and they continued to go their separate ways in a strange staggered manner.

It turned out that the expeditionary force was sailing on a new dimension of four-dimensional space, and from a three-dimensional perspective, they should indeed meet in a narrow way, but in fact they were not on the same orbit at all.

"The star a light-year ahead!"

Yuan Haochen stood in front of the simulated starry sky of the command ship, and stretched out his index finger to point straight ahead.

"We're crossing its edge, its Oort cloud!"

The Expeditionary Force is on the border of this stellar realm. As long as you cross here, you will actually enter a new star system.

The star is a close neighbor of the Sunrise Galaxy, which is 49 light-years apart, and by analyzing the material around the star and using supertelescopes, the expeditionary force deduced that it is much smaller in mass and age than the Sunrise Galaxy. At this distance, her brightness was not noticeably different from the other stars in the canopy, just a brighter point of light, and the expeditionary force was unable to observe any of her detailed features for the time being.

She is indeed a star, although small, but it also rules a large amount of interstellar matter, and emits light and heat all the time, bringing light and warmth to the entire galaxy, and also bringing a little tenderness to the cold universe!

Yuan Haochen just stared at the star silently, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one could understand his feelings.

Once upon a time, human civilization was trapped in the solar system and could not cross the thunder pool by half a step. Interstellar travel is just an infinitely distant dream......

In the entire expeditionary force, or the entire human civilization, he is the only one who has come all the way from that bleak era, so he is the most touched at this moment.

"Let the central intelligent navigation system recalculate the course, fine-tune the direction without affecting the overall acceleration, and let the expeditionary fleet pass by this star!"

At this moment, Yuan Haochen's spirit had relaxed, and he gave an order indifferently, his eyes still silently staring at the star.

"Yes!!"

A loud gong sounded, and it was Sergei, the military commander of the expeditionary force, who was responsible for directing the specific navigation tasks of the fleet.

This answer was really loud, and all the staff in the command center couldn't help but look sideways, and Yuan Haochen's emotions were instantly pulled back.

"Sorry! Leader. Sergei also seems to be aware of this.

"It's okay, it's good, keep it up!" Yuan Haochen smiled and patted Sergei's shoulder, "Go ahead." ”

"Okay!" Sergei saluted and then turned to leave.

......

After fine-tuning its course, the expeditionary fleet continued to fly towards the star at high speed, and by this time the expeditionary fleet had reached 4.9 times the speed of light, and it would not take half a Gaia year to pass by her.

Four months later, it was about 0.3 light-years away from the star. With the scientific and technological means of the expeditionary force, it has already been easy to see this star system thoroughly. Observations indicate that there are a large number of early star features in the galaxy, which is only about a billion years old and is only a juvenile star.

She has a total of one rocky planet and three gaseous planets. The nearest rocky planet, only 40 million kilometers from the star, is about 36.2% of the mass of the Earth and about the size of Mars. And the planet is already gravitationally locked by the star, and she will always have only one side facing the star, as in the case of the Moon and the Earth.

The other three gas planets are far from the star, about the same size as Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in the solar system.

In addition, there is a very complex asteroid belt within the star system. Because this is a young star system, and the asteroid belt is large enough, there is a good chance that a new planet will form here in the future.

"It's a relatively small galaxy. Several planets are not equipped to give birth to life. ”

A phantom suddenly appeared beside Yuan Haochen, it was the artificial intelligence Vali who was helplessly joined the expeditionary force.

"However, she can be a good target for the development of human civilization!" Yuan Haochen said calmly, "The entire star system can be inhabited by at least 20 billion people. ”

Indeed, the living environment of human civilization today is no longer limited to habitable planets. As long as they want, human civilization can build space castles to any corner of the galaxy. Of course, the best option is the outer space of a gaseous planet, where it will be easier to obtain energy. It's like the giant space castle Himalayas.

Over the next two months, the expeditionary fleet grew closer and closer to the star.

Passing through the top layer of the star's sphere, the stellar winds have died down and the various interstellar radiations have died down. The high-energy charged particles from the stars are also becoming more intense.

"Leader! Do we need to send a research fleet to the planets? Scientific Commander Don Quixote asked Yuan for instructions.

"Go now, go back!" Yuan Haochen said succinctly.

"So, let's send a deep space resource development fleet to mine the resources of the gas planet?" Sergei on the side also asked.

"Yes." Yuan Haochen turned around, looked at the star system in the starry sky and said, "Save all the data collected, and then send it to the Sunrise Galaxy after realizing faster-than-light communication in the future." ”

"Perhaps, by the time the expeditionary force returns, this star system will already be a member of the map of human civilization."

Yuan Haochen thought to himself. He didn't say this, because, of all the people present, he may be the only one who finally has the chance to see this scene.

Once the strong man is gone, he will never return, and it will be desolate when he thinks about it......
