Spred and Dart looked at each other, then nodded at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I feel the same way you do." Dart spoke, and then he turned to look at the satellite that was still smoking on the big screen, "But I can't see any clues if there is only one such thing, but since they have the ability to launch satellites here, it means that their technology is not too bad, even if it is a little weaker." He spoke his mind.

Spred, on the other hand, stared at the screen and remained silent with a thoughtful look on his face, but he didn't say what he thought until Dart finished speaking.

"We really don't have many clues right now." Zhou Xin nodded, and then he also turned his head to look at the screen, "Forget it, let's not speculate here now, since we have found a clue, there may be a second or third clue later." ”

So, everyone temporarily stopped the discussion of the civilization in this galaxy, and focused on the huge rocky planet around the Voyager, although there is nothing special about the landform on this planet, but it is the first time for everyone to see such a large rocky planet, so they are still very interested in some of its internal features, after a detailed investigation by the probe, it was found that the thickness of the earth's crust is about the same as the earth, and the earth's core is only slightly larger than the earth's core. The only exaggeration is the mantle, which is eight times thicker than the Earth's mantle layer, and it can be said that most of the planet's interior is made up of molten magma. Atlas studied for most of the day without figuring out the detailed formation process of the planet, and finally came to a vague conclusion - the reason why the planet's mantle layer is so thick should be related to the high content of light metals on the planet.

Of course, although the probe focused its investigation on this planet, the search for more artificial satellites has not stopped for a moment. Unfortunately, until the survey of the planet was completed, the probe did not find any more satellites.

However, Zhou Xin and they were not too disappointed in this, after all, this was only the outermost planet, so they continued to explore the inner side of this star system non-stop. Since he didn't know the specific technological level of the civilization in this star system, in order to avoid the huge Voyager being discovered by them, Zhou Xin just asked the Voyager to send a probe to the inner planet, and waited until he knew more about that civilization before making the next move.

The planet adjacent to this rocky planet is even more ordinary, it is an ordinary ice giant, this ice giant is larger than Neptune, after a detailed investigation of it, the probe found that this ice giant is not special, so Zhou Xin asked the Voyager to give up the detailed exploration of this planet, and instead look for an artificial satellite near the planet's orbit.

As expected, in the orbit of this ice giant, the probe found four artificial satellites. Of the four moons, two of them were tetrahedral shapes, while the other two were familiar cylinders, and the kind of visibly assembled satellites that Zhou Xin most hoped to find were not found in the sky above the planet. Zhou Xin was a little disappointed by this, but he still asked the Voyager to collect the data stored on the four newly discovered artificial satellites in order to analyze the language of this civilization.

Then, Zhou Xin asked the Voyager to continue to explore inward, and the fifth and sixth planets in this star system have nothing to say, that is, two ordinary giant planets, of which, the fifth planet is 1.5 times the volume of Jupiter, and the sixth planet is slightly smaller than Jupiter. Around the fifth planet, the probe actually found a full ten artificial satellites around the planet, which are of varying degrees of newness and age, apparently launched at different times. What makes Zhou Xin most happy is that one of these ten satellites has obvious assembly traces, which should obviously be made by a speculated third-party force, but the assembly level of this satellite has been significantly improved, although the components inside are still from the other two forces, but at least the shell of this satellite is still complete, and the installation of various components inside is not as messy as before, but has a certain order. This satellite contains a lot of information that is very useful to Zhou Xin and them, and from this information, Atlas has discovered a very interesting phenomenon.

"Brother Captain, Brother Captain, people have found a very strange place."

"Oh?" Zhou Xin was noticed by Atlas's words, "What a strange place. ”

"It seems that the two language systems are merging." Atlas came out of nowhere, and Zhou Xin looked puzzled, "What do you mean?" Explain it in detail. ”

"Didn't people say before that in the data of these satellites, the language is divided into two very different systems, and there is no similarity between the two language systems at all." Atlas explained in detail, and at this time, Zhou Xin also remembered that she had indeed mentioned this kind of thing when investigating those satellites before, he nodded, and Atlas continued, "However, when people read the data of the newly discovered assembled satellite, they found that these two completely different languages actually showed signs of fusion, and a large number of two languages were mixed together in the data, and even new scripts appeared. As he spoke, a lot of words appeared on the screen that Zhou Xin couldn't understand, "These words have not been seen in the information obtained before, and these words." As she spoke, the little girl clicked on a few words on the screen, "They are a combination of the two systems of languages discovered before, and they do not belong to either side alone. She then pointed to other texts, "which, although there are known signs of a combination of two languages, have been further transformed, and it can be said that these words are already a separate linguistic system." ”

After listening to Atlas's detailed explanation, Zhou Xin pondered, "Could it be that these two different forces are merging?" He muttered to himself, and then he shook his head, "No, no, if they were merging, this situation would not be the way it is now, there should be some people who are merging." Then he looked puzzled, "But why is this part of the people starting to merge?" Could it be? After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't sort out the situation of this civilization, so he chose to give up, "Forget it, the situation is unclear now, so don't speculate too much." He then instructed Atlas to continue to look at the information on this civilization for more detailed clues.

Continuing inward, I arrived at the blank area where everyone was talking about before, and sure enough, as Zhou Xin thought, this place was not empty, but indeed an asteroid belt. In addition, the asteroid belt is quite densely populated, and according to Voyager's estimates, the number of asteroids in this asteroid belt is at least three times that of the asteroid belt in the solar system. Such a dense number of asteroids has brought great difficulty to the probe to continue to explore the inner side of the star system. While the probe was struggling to move through the asteroid belt, it unexpectedly discovered an artificial satellite that was passing through the asteroid belt from the inside out, but this artificial satellite obviously had no good luck. In the footage of the probe, it was directly hit by a small rock flying out of nowhere, like a silent movie, and part of the artificial satellite was completely broken into pieces and scattered, and the remaining part of it was naturally turned into space junk. Some of the debris happened to fly towards the probe, and it was only after Voyager ordered the probe to make an emergency turn that the probe was able to avoid the debris attack. This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Xin, although it was only a probe, Zhou Xin still felt quite surprised, so he instructed the Voyager to let the probe move forward cautiously, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses.

After passing through a dense area of asteroids, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and even Zhou Xin could clearly feel that the number of asteroids was significantly decreasing, but although the number had decreased, the volume of asteroids had increased significantly. In the footage of the probe, several large asteroids are slowly moving along their orbits, but Zhou Xin's mind is obviously not on these asteroids that look quite large, but on the fourth planet that they will encounter next. If the star map left by the Atlanteans is correct, this planet is the only planet in this star system located in the habitable zone, and the civilization they speculated before should be on this planet, and everyone's mood began to get a little excited. After dropping the last few asteroids far away, the probe flew a long distance in the empty space of the universe, finally approaching the orbit of the fourth planet.

Of course, at first, Zhou Xin didn't want to disturb this civilization, so he told the Voyager to let the probe be cautious, and hide himself as soon as possible if he encountered the space creation of this civilization, but when the probe reached the orbit of the fourth planet predicted on the star map, Zhou Xin and they did not see the planet.

In this regard, everyone was not too surprised, and quietly waited for the probe to fly around this orbit for nearly half a circle, and the planet that had been reluctant to show up for a long time finally appeared in front of everyone far away.

Of course, it was not Zhou Xin who first discovered the planet at the beginning, but Atlas, and when the planet first appeared, the little girl pointed to a dim dot on the screen that was almost indistinguishable with the naked eye and shouted, "Here and here!" Brother Captain! This is the planet! ”

When Atlas identified the planet, Zhou Xin asked the probe to slow down further and slowly approach the planet, and then the probe slowly moved forward, and after two hours, the dim dot on the screen began to brighten. After another hour or so, Atlas screamed in some surprise.

"Brother Captain! Brother Captain! It doesn't seem to be just a planet ahead. As he spoke, Atlas zoomed in on the image on the screen. At this time, everyone saw that in the middle of the screen was not a circular point of light, but a point of light similar to the shape of a dumbbell, but unlike a real dumbbell, the light spots on the screen were large and small, and the middle did not seem to be really connected, but was connected by a bright halo.

"Twin stars?" Zhou Xin blurted out in surprise.

"Not really." Dart looked at the dumbbell-shaped light spots on the screen and thought for a while and said, "The small one should be a satellite, if it is a double star, the size ratio of the light point is completely wrong, it looks a bit like the relationship between the earth and the moon, but such a large satellite is really rare." ”

"It doesn't matter if he's a binary star or a satellite, just go over and see." After knowing that there should be a higher civilization in this star system, Ralph was also full of interest, so this time she came to the command module.

Next, everyone continued to pay attention to the picture in front of the camera, but because the speed of the probe was not fast, the picture in the screen did not change, after a long time, the light point in the distance finally began to get a little larger, but still couldn't see the specific appearance, and after more than an hour, the light point gradually became clearer, and at this time, everyone finally saw the outline of the two planets vaguely.

As the probe continued to advance, the originally vague outline of the planet gradually became clearer, and when the probe identified the specific size of the two planets, everyone was puzzled.

"You're saying that the smaller planet is one-third the diameter of the larger planet?" Hearing the data given by the Voyager, Zhou Xin repeated suspiciously.

"The data given by the little sister is not wrong, and the proportion calculated by people from the image of the detector is also like this, and the error is about 5%." Atlas confirmed.

Even Dart, who had guessed that the small one was a satellite, was a little puzzled, "Is this a double star or a satellite?" Then he asked, "Atlas, what exactly are the dimensions of these two planets?" ”

"It's too far away for the probe to come up with specific data." Atlas replied.

There was no way, everyone had to continue to wait patiently for the probe to get closer to the two planets, I don't know how long they waited, the larger planet on the screen was already the size of a full moon, and at this time, Voyager began to report the probe's estimate of the two planets......
