Chapter 255: The Stuff Is Here

At this moment when it was certain that a new civilization had arrived and there had been a war with the Martian civilization, Wei Feng suddenly thought of a point that he had overlooked before. Wei Feng immediately raised this question: "Ye Luo...... You say, with the situation of the Martian civilization after the long journey, they ...... Do you have the strength to start a large-scale war? ”

"I don't understand what you mean." Ye Luo said, "How big is the scale? ”

"Big enough to leave a lot of debris in the South Gate Two Galaxy, so many that we've found it ......five times in nearly twenty years," Wei Feng said.

In the case of extremely high-performance detection instruments on the Xinghai spacecraft, this kind of debris has been found five times in more than 20 years and more than 1 trillion kilometers of voyage, which seems to be nothing strange, after all, the original Martian civilization has brought all the remnants of the entire civilization to the South Gate Two Galaxy, leaving so many fragments seems understandable.

It's just that...... One point that is overlooked in this description is the vastness of space. The universe is so vast that you can't feel anything when you don't think about it, but if you think about it a little closely, you will feel that this situation is unusual.

To put it simply, the Xinghai spacecraft has found this kind of debris five times during this voyage, which means that there must be a lot of such debris scattered within a range of more than a trillion kilometers around the South Gate 2 double star. And such a huge number of fragments cannot be left by the remnants of the original Martian civilization. Because Wei Feng still clearly remembered the letter left by the Martian, which said that their interstellar fleet only had an extremely limited number of ships. So a little bit of spaceship...... How is it possible to leave so many pieces behind?

"Oh, I see what you mean." Ye Luo said, "Indeed, as you said, this is a contradiction. ”

"Nope. This is not a contradiction. Wei Feng denied, "This can only mean one possibility, and that is...... The Martian civilization finally arrived in the South Gate Two Galaxy, and then they gained a precious time to recuperate. It is because of this precious time of recuperation that the power of the Martian civilization has grown a little stronger, and they have more potential for war. That's why, when they encountered this strange alien civilization, they were able to build so many ships and leave so many pieces behind. ”

"That's probably a reasonable explanation." Ye Luo said, "At the same time, this also excludes the possibility that that the strange civilization is from the native galaxy of the South Gate II. Because if they were native civilizations, they would certainly not give Martian civilizations time to recuperate. They are also from the rest of the star systems after a long journey...... Perhaps, they have also encountered the problem of dead knots, so they will choose interstellar voyages. ”

"Nope. That unknown new civilization also has many ships, because in this space, we have also found the debris they left behind, and to leave so much debris must have many ships, and it is unlikely that a civilization that has traveled long interstellar voyages will have so many ships. Wei Feng denied, "It seems that they have also passed the time of recuperation. But this is impossible, how can it be that two hostile civilizations are recuperating in the South Gate Two Galaxy...... This is not logical. ”

"Maybe they're technologically powerful enough to have many ships after a long interstellar voyage?" Ye Luo said.

"It's still impossible." Wei Feng denied again. "If their scientific and technological strength is really that strong, how can they be inseparable from the Martian civilization, a civilization that is decaying to the point of dying?"

Ye Luo was silent. Obviously, he couldn't find an argument to refute Wei Feng's words.

"It's weird." Wei Feng said, suddenly as if he thought of something, so Wei Feng immediately said to Ye Luo: "Ye Luo, I want you to immediately make a rough estimate of the scientific and technological content of the fragments of the Martian civilization that we have obtained in the two galaxies of the South Gate, and at the same time make a comparison with the fragments found in the solar system. I want you to measure the speed of technological development of human civilization by how many years the technological content gap between these two fragments is. ”

"Okay captain, please wait a moment, I'll go and analyze them in more detail."

After some time, the data evaluation appeared in front of Weifeng.

"According to the results of my analysis of various aspects of the properties of the material. There is probably a technological gap between the materials left by the Martian civilization in South Gate 2 and the materials of the Martian civilization in the solar system...... According to the speed of scientific and technological development of human civilization before the indicator, this gap is about 50 years. Ye Luo said.

"Hmm......" Wei Feng nodded slightly, "In this case, my speculation that the Martian civilization recuperated for a period of time in the South Gate Two Galaxy is basically certain. Obviously, these debris were not left behind by the ships brought by the Martian civilization from the solar system, but were newly created after they arrived in the South Gate II system. ”

"Then why are the material properties of the ships built later worse than those of the ships built earlier?"

Wei Feng said: "Civilization has degraded...... Starting from the arrival of the Martian civilization in the South Gate Two Galaxy and ending with the outbreak of war, the technological level of the Martian civilization has degraded for about fifty years...... Although the Martian civilization has gained precious time to recuperate, their technology has been degrading. degraded until the outbreak of war, and then ...... Who knows. ”

"Hopefully, the Martian civilization will win eventually." Ye Luo said, "If this is the case, then there will still be a large number of traces left by the Martian civilization on the Blue Night Star, and we can look for the key scientific data left by the Martian civilization from there." As for why the unknown new civilization still has a large number of spaceships after the long interstellar trek, but can only compete with the Martian civilization that has degraded technology, I don't think it has much to do with our mission. ”

Wei Feng sighed, "I hope so." But for some reason, I always had a faint anxiety about that new civilization. I think there's something weird about that unknown civilization. ”

Regarding Wei Feng's sigh, Ye Luo chose to remain silent and did not respond.

This is the end of this discussion. In the subsequent voyage, Weifeng did not mention these things again. Wei Feng was just doing his job, preparing for the subsequent deceleration and landing phase.

Over the course of several months, Leaf Fall once again discovered some of the debris orbiting around and captured them. As Wei Feng guessed, some of these fragments belong to the Martian civilization whose technological level has degraded, and some belong to the unknown new civilization. And the discovery of these things again also made Wei Feng's speculation more and more solid, and at the same time, it also highlighted the strangeness of that unknown civilization.

Two months have passed, and the Star Ocean spacecraft has finally entered the deceleration phase. Under the impetus of the attitude adjustment engine, the body of the Xinghai spacecraft rotated in the void for half a circle, and the position of the tail engine of the spacecraft was aimed at the two stars of the South Gate, and then the engine ignited and sprayed, so just like when he left the solar system for the acceleration action, Wei Feng was once again unable to stand firm in the Xinghai spacecraft. This effect will continue until the end of the slowdown phase.

More observations of the Blue Night Star were obtained by Ye Luo and presented to Wei Feng. For the first time, Wei Feng saw the stretching valley and vast plains on the surface of the Blue Night Star, as well as huge fissures and vast impact craters...... The planet, like its beautiful name, has always exuded an irresistible attraction for Wei Feng.

"There...... It is the end of my centuries-long voyage and the place where I will spend my life...... It's really beautiful. Wei Feng muttered.

The Xinghai spacecraft no longer has enough fuel to return to the solar system, and Wei Feng can't leave the South Gate II Galaxy, so spending the rest of his life on this planet is Wei Feng's only choice.

Perhaps because he was too close to his destination, Ye Luo did not find any debris floating in space due to the war during the more than three months of his deceleration action. But Wei Feng had long been mentally prepared for this, and he also knew the reason for this situation.

South Gate 2 is a three-star system, and in addition to the distant Proxima Centauri, there are two remaining huge stars that are extremely close to each other. In this case, the orbit around the South Gate binary, whether it orbits the star or the planet, is unstable in the long run. They are constantly expelled into outer space in the constant gravitational warfare - even the Blue Night Star is unstable in the long run, and perhaps one day in the distant future, it will be thrown out by the star and become a wandering planet. So Wei Feng was able to find some fragments far away from the star, but now that he is close to the star, he can't find anything.

The deceleration action of more than three months finally came to an end, and the huge Blue Night Star finally appeared in front of Wei Feng. The Star Ocean spaceship had already entered the orbit of the Blue Night Star, and Wei Feng stood in front of the porthole, quietly looking at the hot earth below.

But at this time, Ye Luo suddenly reported a message to Wei Feng: "Captain, I received a message from the Blue Night Star that is constantly being sent at a frequency familiar to human civilization...... This message says...... What you want is here. (To be continued......)
