Pyridium is currently the closest planet to the star in the Alpha Centauri system, with rocky entities like Earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is also the smallest planet in the system. The Flame Star is even smaller than some of the giant natural moons, such as the Titan Star (Titan) in the solar system.

However, the mass of the Flame Star is not small, the planet is composed of about 75% metal and 35% silicate material, and the density is 6.4 g/cm3, which is somewhat denser than the Earth (5.5 g/cm3).

Because it is rich in hematite, the surface environment of the entire flame star also looks orange-red, and its appearance resembles that of Mars.

The planet's surface is dotted with large and small craters, ranging from mountains to plains and chilling cliffs.

It has been calculated that the flame star is a planet with an average surface temperature of about 650 degrees Celsius and a large temperature difference between day and night.

During the day, the temperature of star A is as high as 712C when the light is direct, and at night when the sun does not shine, the temperature will quickly drop to -126C because the atmosphere is extremely thin and cannot provide thermal insulation.

The Flame Star is not large, and it would be enough to launch a probe satellite to observe its surface environment.

The Mirai spacecraft did not stay in the Flame Star for long, and after only a week of observation, Yuan Haochen and the others left.

They really didn't find any worthy exploration here, and perhaps the Creator had left traces on this planet, but now it was long gone.

"After 2.1 billion years, the outer shell of the Flaming Star may have been eroded by the long-standing "solar wind" of Alpha Centauri. ”

Yuan Haochen guessed as he looked at the flaming star that was getting farther and farther away outside the porthole.

"Maybe there are relics left by the creator beneath the Flame Star, but it's a pity that the environment here is too harsh." Smith stood aside, reluctantly looking at the distant orange-red planet.

"Of all the target planets, the Flame Star has the lowest chance of having the scientific heritage of the Creator Civilization, so we can't afford to waste too much time here." Yuan explained.

Under such harsh natural environmental conditions as the Flame Star, the possibility of intelligent beings living underground like the Sand Star is very unlikely. So, they shouldn't expect to be able to find a helper like the Sand Starers.

So, they flew non-stop on the future spacecraft to the next target.

Earth, Kokolas Island, Interstellar Exploration Alliance Pacific Base, Science Group Commander's Office.

The two old bosses of Yuan Haochen were sitting opposite each other.

One is Mr. Watt, the current commander of the scientific group, and the other is Frank, the director of the Institute of Astrophysics.

It's been nearly ten years since Yuan Haochen left Earth.

Time is like an arrow, tonight and night, year and year, secretly stay away.

When the young man can be strong, the sideburns are already gray, the prime of life does not come again, it is difficult to return to the morning, and the time of ten years has left a deep mark on the faces of Watt and Frank.

Flowers still have a reopening day, life is no longer young, even if there are thousands of reluctance, but the lost years are gone, how can they be recovered......

"According to the plan, they should have successfully reached the Alpha Centauri system."

Commander Watt is in his 60s, and his hair is now gray after years of hard work, but his eyes are still as sharp as a falcon on the top of a mountain.

"It should have been there a month ago." Frank nodded in reply.

"I wish them all the best in their exploration!"

"I believe that with Hao Chen, the task will be successfully completed!" It can be seen that Frank is full of confidence in Yuan Haochen.

"Yes, you're right! Hao Chen is an amazing young man. Watt praised with a hearty smile.

"Young people? You forget, Hao Chen is also in his 40s this year. Haha~" Frank shook his head with a smile and sighed.

"Oh~" Commander Watt was in a trance, "Time flies so fast......"

"You're right!"

"How did you think about the job adjustment?"

Commander Watt restrained his emotion and suddenly asked seriously.

"I've thought about it, and I'm going to accept the move." Frank replied without hesitation.

"Good!" Commander Watt smiled and continued, "I also hope that you will be able to go to the Crisis Research Team at Alliance Headquarters. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility!"

"I hope that I can also make some contribution to solving the crisis encountered by the earth's civilization." Frank sighed and said meaningfully, "We old people can't afford to lose to young people." ”

"Hahaha~" Commander Watt laughed loudly, he naturally understood what Frank was referring to.

"I'm about to join the crisis research team at the Alliance Headquarters, do you have any advice and guidance for me?"

Frank asked with a sincere face, his obsidian-like black pupils, still shining with an awe-inspiring heroic aura, but concealing his usual aggressive momentum.

Commander Watt was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "I heard the leaders of the alliance mention that there are currently two major research camps in the crisis research team, and the research direction of one camp is to find habitable planets outside the solar system, organize human civilization to fly away from the earth and carry out interstellar migration. The other camp is researching to build defenses against gamma-ray bursts. ”

"It's not easy in either direction." Frank's brow furrowed, "Excuse me, which camp do you prefer?" ”

"In my opinion, the first thing to do is to determine the true destructive power of this gamma-ray burst! If the power is absolutely powerful, we should not waste time on research projects to build defense systems. ”

"Interstellar migration is a suffocating project, and with the current strength of Earth's civilization, this is a task that cannot be completed at all." Frank added.

"You're right, it's not possible or necessary for all of humanity to carry out interstellar migration. Perhaps, the civilization of the earth should be prepared with both hands. Risk diversification, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Dean Watt looked at Frank and said earnestly.

"I see what you mean." Frank stood up, straightened his sleeves, and then bowed deeply to Dean Watt very sincerely, "Thank you for teaching me over the years. ”

"Come on, the future of the earth's civilization depends on you." Dean Watt looked at his right-hand man with a solemn expression and said, "You just charge forward, and as for the stability of the rear, leave it to us old men." ”

I'm too busy with work today, so I have to change it, please be considerate. (To be continued.) )
