Chapter 44: The Mysterious Proxima Centauri

Two months later.

Galileo 2 is infinitely close to the edge of the Oort cloud. It is expected that in another half an hour, it will break through the Oort cloud and become the farthest man-made vehicle from the Earth.

All the focus of the earth and the moon is this upcoming historical moment, although it is only a matter of time before it is expected to fly out of the solar system, everyone is anxiously waiting for this moment to come, in their hearts, rushing out of the solar system is like breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly, soaring; Breaking out of the solar system is like breaking through the darkness and welcoming the light.

At this time, it is the day of the eastern hemisphere of the earth, the first day of the lunar calendar, and the zero o'clock of the long night of the moon. On the abandoned dispatch platform of the moon, a blue crystal ball can be clearly seen embedded in the deep darkness, like a guide, and it is terrifying.

About 4.2 light-years from the Sun, three dwarf stars outside the Oort cloud are intertwined with each other, and due to their huge gravitational disturbances, they can tear everything to pieces or throw them into space, so there are no large planets in the near light-year range, and the three dwarf stars are like ghosts attached to the solar system, orbiting the center of the Milky Way.

The Space Research Institute is a subordinate institution of the Anti-Phagogy Alliance, responsible for deep space exploration and research, and the Institute has tried its best to still know little about Proxima Centauri, but it has been found that the three intertwined dwarf stars do not seem to be only affected by each other's gravitational interactions, but more like they are moving around a mysterious star in the same orbit.

"Fast, real-time data." Li Xianhui urged his assistant.

"When deflection occurs without fuel, it can only be gravity. But it is already moving faster than light, and even a super black hole cannot control Galileo 2. Alan looked confused.

"It's not just deflecting, it's accelerating, and in just a few hours it's now 20 times the speed of light." Li Xianhui stared at the data and said to Alan Zhang.

Alan Zhang was not interested in the data at this time, his eyes were bright: "There can only be one explanation, Galileo 2 was hijacked by a certain advanced civilization, could it be a boron-based person?" ”

"In order to stop the progress of human space technology, set up a barrier outside the Oort cloud! Since it's so close to Earth, why not attack it directly? Li Xianhui had doubts.

"It makes sense, but it doesn't exclude boron-based people. With more than 15 times the speed of light, Galileo 2's body cannot withstand the pull and will eventually be torn to pieces. ”

"At present, real-time communication shows that everything is normal with Galileo 2, and the speed has increased to 22 times the speed of light at this time."

"What kind of power will this be? Is there something wrong with our basic theories of space physics? Even if our theory is wrong, years of observation have not revealed the existence of a black hole nearby. Song Jing was very nervous at this time, he was worried that the boron-based people had reached the outer solar system.

"Don't jump to conclusions, maybe there are natural forces that we don't know about but advanced civilizations that attracted Galileo 2." Alan Chang is trying to explain it in every possible way.

"Data simulation, Galileo 2 is flying towards Proxima Centauri."

"Proxima Centauri?" Song Jing was surprised.

"Yes, a mysterious galaxy entwined with three dwarf stars." Alan Zhang also began to get nervous.

"If it weren't for the boron-based people, the situation would be much more serious." Li Xianhui said.

"I suggest starting Galileo 3, the same trajectory, because the 3 has the ability to return, to test whether such a strange event will happen." Alan Chang suggested.

"I agree that if Galileo 3 is still unable to achieve autonomous control at full power, it proves that it is not a force of nature. At that time, I applied to drive the Galileo 5 in person. Li Xianhui said.

"Young people should not be reckless." Alan Zhang admonished.

"The newsletter hasn't been interrupted, so there's no need to go." Song Jing said.

"Let's hope the real-time communication won't be interrupted!"

"The current data shows that Galileo 2 has accelerated to 400 times the speed of light and reached Proxima Centauri in two days." Li Xianhui said.
