After listening to Yuan Haochen's introduction, everyone showed a clear expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The staff involved in the construction of the Mars base this time are all elites in the field of engineering on Earth. Coupled with the professional team brought by Yuan Haochen from the earth, the manpower of the "Future" transformation team is extremely sufficient.

Soon, the modification of the artificial gravity system and the black hole dynamical system began in full swing.

It's not so much a makeover as a trick.

Yuan Haochen and the others just figured out the working mode and operation process of the alien devices, and then grafted these devices onto the "Future" spacecraft.

Of course, the work is not as simple as imagined, and there are many details that need to be considered.

It's like changing a new organ to the human body, and if you're not careful, you will kill people.

"We redesigned the poles of the gravitational field, so that there is no need for such a huge effective area of the gravitational field on the Mirai spacecraft."

Under the guidance of Yuan Chen, the engineering experts are carefully disassembling and replacing the work every day.

"It's a pity, if we can grasp the working principle of artificial gravity, not only can this technology be applied to spacecraft, but we can also change the gravity level on the alien base through artificial gravity fields, so that the staff of the base can live in the alien base for a long time, and eliminate the health threat caused by microgravity or hypergravity."

For so many years, Yuan Haochen regretted that he could not get a glimpse of the principle of gravitational force.

Perhaps he has done his best, or perhaps the current human civilization is not yet able to comprehend this great cosmic phenomenon.

So, this was also a factor that influenced his decision to travel to the Centaur Alpha system to the home of the Creator in search of answers.

......

Interstellar Exploration Alliance's Pacific Base, the Earth Pupil Command Center.

At this time, four years and eight months had passed since the Pupil of the Earth left the solar system.

In terms of flight speed, the Pupil of the Earth is still 0.49 light-years away from Alpha Centauri A and B.

The closest star to the Sun, Alpha Centauri C, Proxima Centauri, is only about 0.36 light-years away.

However, the image information that the Earth Command Center sees now is the same as the Earth Pupil sent back to Earth a few years ago.

"Deputy team leader, if you look at the holographic data image after analysis, the Centauri Alpha Samsung system is already very prominent." The operator reports to Durunik.

Durunik's eyes widened, and he stared intently at the parsed holographic image on the screen.

(Flying close to the speed of light will run into optical limits, and the telescope will not be able to get an actual image.) The pupil of the earth directly transmits all the holographic data received by the telescope back to the earth, and then the earth command center analyzes it to obtain the picture information. ）

"At this time, the Pupil of the Earth is about the same distance from the Sun and the Centaur Alpha Galaxy, and it is flying exactly halfway." Durunik muttered to himself.

The Alpha Centauri Samsung system in the picture has become the three brightest stars in the entire canopy.

"I wonder what it would be like to view the Alpha Centauri galaxy from the current perspective of the pupil of the earth......" Durunik reimagined.

This moment.

Nearly 3.9 light-years away from the Earth, the Pupil of the Earth is still silently carrying the expectations of human civilization and flying into the distance.

If you take the vast and deep cosmic space as the background, directly in front of the pupil of the earth, there are two fireballs as bright as the sun.

The larger one, with its yellowish-white glow, is none other than Alpha Centauri A, the dominant star in the binary star system.

It is somewhat brighter than the Sun and its stellar spectrum is classified as G2V. Alpha Centauri A has a mass about 10% more than the Sun and a radius about 23% more than the Sun. Its rotation period is 22 days, which is slightly shorter than the Sun's rotation period (25 days).

The smaller one, which glows orange, is Alpha Centauri B, the companion star of the binary star system.

Its star spectrum is classified as K1V, with a mass of about 90% of the Sun and a radius of about 86% of the Sun. Its rotation period is about 41 days. Although Alpha Centauri B is fainter than Alpha Centauri A, it releases more X-ray energy than A.

Against the backdrop of these two bright stars, Alpha Centauri C (Proxima Centauri), much smaller and dimmer, is the third star of the Alpha Triad Centauri, with a mass of only 12.3% of the Sun.

Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star with an average distance of about 13,000 AU from Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. (About 0.211 light-years, the distance is not constant because of the orbit of the star.) ）

Also, Alpha Centauri is a triad. They are constantly moving on each other. Therefore, at different historical times, the world's highest laurel crown "closest to the sun" will be worn by these three stars in turn.

Scientists speculate that Proxima Centauri may orbit in a circular orbit of 500,000 years or more, or it may orbit in a hyperbolic orbit, which could cause Proxima Centauri to leave the galaxy in the distant future.

If such a day happens, then there will only be two brothers left in the Alpha Centauri star system......

For the rest of the flight, the Pupil of Earth will pass Proxima Centauri at high speed without any stops, heading straight for the core of the Alpha Centauri binary system.

When it is about 0.15~0.2 light-years away from the Alpha Centauri binary system, the intelligent navigation flight system of the Earth Pupil will start to slow down.

The entire deceleration process can only be completed by relying on the Earth Pupil to operate on its own.

Because the Earth Command is far away, it will take 5 years to reach the orders issued, and it is completely out of reach.

The speed of light of 84.91% is too fast, and the slowdown plan developed by the extraterrestrial civilization project team has only a 60% success rate.

If the Pupil of Earth is unable to successfully slow down and is captured by the gravitational pull of the Alpha Centauri binary system, it will continue to fly towards deep space at a higher speed.

As a result, the Pupil of Earth has only one chance to search and observe the planets in the Centaur Alpha binary system.

This observation opportunity will only last a few days, and the specific observation period will be calculated according to the final degree of the actual deceleration.

Although in this opportunity, the pupil of the earth has a great deal of confidence in roughly figuring out the situation in the Centaur Alpha system, but will forever lose the opportunity to observe the planets in the system in depth.

If optimistically, the Earth Pupil will continue its interstellar journey, and as long as its signals can continue to be transmitted back to Earth, it will continue to contribute to Earth civilization.

Like the Voyager 1 probe, its original main goal was to explore Jupiter and Saturn and their moons.

However, with the help of Jupiter's gravity and Titan's additional gravitational influence, the Voyager 1 probe finally left the ecliptic and became the first probe in the history of human civilization to successfully fly out of the solar system. (To be continued.) )
