Chapter 494: Discovering Civilization

After recording all the data of this binary star system, Zhang Weihua and the others left directly for the next galaxy, after all, although this is a binary star system, there is no planet, not even a small star, so there is no energy for them to use.

The next star system According to the data of Zhang Weihua's battleship radar, this star system is much more likely to exist than the double star system they passed through before, because this star system is not a double star system, this is a normal star system with only one star, but although there are many more possibilities for having planets, the possibility of having life is not very large, because the stars of this star system have entered the stage of old age, the whole star has begun to expand, and the internal activities of the star are more intense. Therefore, the star is extremely unstable, and it is possible to burst out of powerful energy and various radiations at any time.

Although there are planets nearby, these energy bursts and powerful radiation can directly destroy the life on these planets, so the possibility of life in this star system is very small.

However, for Zhang Weihua, this is not a problem, after all, they just need energy now, and as a fifth-level civilization, although he is a cosmic merchant of a fifth-level civilization, he has a complete energy harvesting equipment in his fleet, although the collection time may be a bit long, it will take several years or even decades, but this is also a matter of no choice.

Soon Zhang Weihua and the others came to the periphery of this star system and sent a probe into this star system to collect data.

In fact, the Ming Empire has now begun to form a complete set of processes, all the fleets of the Ming Empire, even if they are cosmic merchants, no matter where they are, before entering a star system, they first send various probes to explore the star system, and then make a decision.

As the data scanned by the radar before, the center of this star system is a star that has entered old age, a huge red giant, although the red giant star in this galaxy is not very large compared to other red giants, but it is much larger than the sun in the solar system, even more than a hundred times, and the temperature of this star is much higher than that of the sun.

According to the detection of the probe, there are only two planets in this star system, and the others are empty, and there are no meteorites at all, Zhang Weihua suspects that this star must have produced civilization when he was young, but due to the scarcity of various resources and energy resources in this star system, the civilization here has to move elsewhere, otherwise, there must be countless meteorites and various small stars in the entire star system, which will be like now, except for two planets, there are no other meteorites or asteroids.

And although there are two planets in this star system, these two planets are huge gas planets, one of which is at least ten times larger than Jupiter in the solar system where humans were born, and the other is at least twice the size of Jupiter.

But this requires the power of the Ming Empire's government to achieve, and it is impossible for a cosmic trade merchant like him to collect the energy that the spaceship can use in such a huge planet, so he can't get the energy he wants in this galaxy, so he can only continue to the next planet, after all, such a gaseous planet can't be collected by his own strength.

And according to the detection, the stars in this star system are also projecting various materials outward, which are slowly gathering in this star system, and now the remaining two planets in this star system are slowly reducing their orbit:

And these two planets are slowly leaning towards this red giant due to the slowdown of speed, it will not take hundreds of thousands of years, these two planets will definitely be swallowed up by this red giant, and finally when the red giant runs out of fuel, he will end his life, and then explode, either disappear into the universe, or become a neutron star, or become one of the most terrifying celestial bodies in the universe black hole.

Although there is a lot of cosmic dust and material in this star system, it is actually only relatively speaking, and for Zhang Weihua and them, this place is no different from a real vacuum, so it is impossible for them to rely on collecting these interstellar dust materials to collect energy.

That is to say, in this star system, Zhang Weihua and they can't get the energy supplement, although it is said that relying on the radiation of the red giant star can provide a little bit of energy, but for a huge spaceship, it is only a cup of water, and it is not even the top of the day, and even the previous pair of star systems cannot be compared, so Zhang Weihua continued to fly to the next star system without hesitation after collecting information.

After all, compared to this star system, the next star system detected by their radar is much more normal, although the next star system is much larger than the sun in the solar system according to the radar detection, and the volume is twice that of the sun, but there are five planets in this star system.

Even according to the detection, the next star system has terrestrial planets, which is definitely a great surprise for them, because there are terrestrial planets, then they can collect resources and energy on the planet, and according to speculation, there is a high probability that there will be life planets in the next star system, and there may even be civilization, so they can't wait to fly to the next star system.

……

Zhang Weihua stared blankly at the data transmitted by the probe, as he expected, there are really five planets in this star system, and except for one gas planet that is not suitable for life to live or transform, the other four planets are all terrestrial planets, and two of them are life planets suitable for life reproduction.

It was definitely his luck to be able to find such a planet, after all, within this vast expanse of hundreds of light years, due to the scarcity of stars, the number of life planets must be very rare, he was already very lucky to be able to find one, and it was definitely a stroke of luck to be able to find two life planets in a star system.

But even more fortunately, the two life planets in this star system have developed their own civilizations, and even the civilization level of these two civilizations is about the same, and the civilization level of the two civilizations has reached the level of the fourth-level primary civilization, although such a civilization level belongs to the bottom of the galaxy, but because of the scarcity of stars and the scarcity of life planets within these hundreds of light years, not to mention the high-intelligence civilization, these two fourth-level early civilizations must be the overlords of this star field.
