The so-called living beings are nothing more than some subsidiary bacteria that live on a tiny speck of dust in this sea of stars. It is still the same sentence, when human beings are in the age of the earth, the earth does not need human protection. Now, when humanity is in the interstellar age, the solar system also does not need human protection.

Mankind...... No matter what you do, you can only affect yourself.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Wei Feng was a dead and silent solar system. It is still the same as it was in the past billions of years, it has eight large planets, many of which have their own moons, and there are countless asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets here...... Everything is the same, except for one point.

There is no trace of any living thing here.

"No matter what stage of human development we humans have reached, we human beings will always be small compared to this universe." Wei Feng sighed, "This, this is really a desperate thing. ”

Ye Luo didn't speak, but the three-dimensional projection was quietly turned off by Ye Luo.

At this moment, Wei Feng's heart no longer had worries about the war situation in the solar system, but instead there was a deep sadness. No, it is not appropriate to describe this mood as sad, it is more appropriate to describe it with words like "confused" or "hopeless".

Wei Feng walked to the porthole, and once again fell into deep thought in front of the endless sea of stars.

"Ye Luo, you say, we human beings, no, what is the meaning of the existence of all intelligent beings in this universe? What does it mean for this universe? ”

"I can't answer that question, Captain." Ye Luo replied, "I don't have the answer to this question stored in my database. ”

Wei Feng nodded. Didn't speak again. Long. Wei Feng sighed. said: "It's time for me to hibernate, Ye Luo, see you in ten years." ”

"Okay captain." Ye Luo responded. So Wei Feng once again made some relevant preparations and lay down in the hibernation cabin. Before losing consciousness, such a thought flashed through Wei Feng's mind: "It's boring, it's really boring." ”

The Star Ocean spacecraft is halfway through its voyage, and at this moment, Weifeng is only less than 1.2 light-years away from Proxima Centauri, which is Alpha Centauri. It is still about four light-years away from Alpha Centauri A and B.

This means that in one hundred and twenty years, Wei Feng will truly reach the South Gate Two Galaxy. In fact, at this moment, Wei Feng's position is close to the Oort Cloud region of the South Gate II Galaxy.

Just like the solar system, in the early days of the birth of the South Gate 2 or 3 star, some remnants of the star making waste were expelled to the edge of the galaxy, and finally formed a weak and extremely distant belt of material from the star, and finally formed the Oort cloud belonging to the South Gate 2 galaxy.

Weifeng knew that it was possible to exchange Oort cloud material between different stars. Because the Oort cloud is so far away from the star. The gravitational influence of the stars of the home galaxy is too weak, which can easily cause them to break away from the home galaxy under certain accidental conditions. and thus into another galaxy. In other words, it is possible that the Oort cloud material of the solar system may enter the South Gate II galaxy, and the Oort cloud material of the South Gate II galaxy may also enter the solar system.

Perhaps tens of millions or even billions of years ago, such material broke away from the gravitational control of the two galaxies at the South Gate and entered the solar system, and entered the solar system under the gravitational disturbance of the internal large planets, and finally hit the earth. Then, in the long evolution, the matter that composes it eventually merges with the material on the earth and can no longer be separated, and they may eventually become the food, water, and tools used by humans on the earth, and participate in the ecological cycle of the earth, but no one can distinguish them.

It's a journey of matter on an interstellar scale, and their voyages are often measured in millions or even hundreds of millions of years, but no one will know about these things, and no one will care about them.

The natural evolution of the universe has been quietly going on in places that humans or other intelligent beings cannot see, and it has never stopped.

During the long journey that lasted for the next thirty years, Wei Feng woke up four more times. Originally, it was scheduled to wake up once every ten years, but in the middle of this, Wei Feng was urgently woken up again. Because one of the key modules in the Xinghai spacecraft had a serious failure, this time the entire Xinghai spacecraft almost lost its ability to slow down. But fortunately, Weifeng dealt with it quickly and properly, and the catastrophic consequences were avoided.

At this moment, the distance from Proxima Centauri in the South Gate II galaxy is less than a light year. Wei Feng once again woke up from his slumber, and the interior of the Star Sea spacecraft once again regained light and warmth.

"I have three things to report to you." Ye Luo said to Wei Feng, "The first thing is that five years ago, I observed an irregular interstellar stone with a diameter of about one meter, I used the impact method to shatter it, and captured some fragments of material that made it up. ”

"Oh, really?" Wei Feng said, "It is very unlikely that you can encounter macroscopic matter in this interstellar empty universe. Are the preliminary analysis conclusions about it out? ”

"Yes, I have done a preliminary analysis of it, and the results show that it has a material composition that is very different from that of the solar system, which suggests that it is not from the solar system. As far as I can speculate, it should have come from the South Gate II system. ”

"Is there any evidence?" Wei Feng asked.

"There's evidence, but it's not solid enough." Ye Luo said, "We have only roughly estimated the composition of the material composition in the two galaxies of the South Gate through the optical spectrum analyzer and other instruments, and according to my material analysis of this stone, I have confirmed that the material similarity between the two is as high as 89%. ”

Wei Feng nodded: "Then there is basically no doubt, this stone can basically be determined to be from the South Gate Two Galaxy." Hmm, what were his motion parameters when you found him? ”

"It has different motion parameters relative to different frames of reference. Here, I chose to use the South Gate II galaxy as a reference. When I discovered it, it was moving in a parabolic motion along the tangent of a circle with a radius of 1.08 light-years centered on the mass mass of the South Gate Galaxy. It is breaking away from the South Gate II system. As for the end of its journey...... I made a mock-up, Captain, you can take a look. ”

Ye Luo once again projected a three-dimensional image, so Wei Feng saw two stars orbiting each other at a very close distance, and a third star orbiting the two stars at a distance from them. Further out, there is a small dot that is orbiting the three stars. But its orbit is getting flatter and flatter, and the distance between the far end of the orbit and the core mass is getting farther and farther away, and the proximal end is getting closer and closer.

Wei Feng looked at it for a while, and then said: "Its orbit seems to indicate that one day in the future, it will break free from the gravitational pull of the South Gate and escape into interstellar space. ”

"Yes, if it is no longer affected by the rest of the factors during its orbit, it will break away from the South Gate II system in about 200 million years, and it will ...... like this."

Under the manipulation of the leaf fall, the small black dot in the three-dimensional projection pulled out a long line and extended to another star next to it.

“…… It will break away from the South Gate II galaxy and eventually enter the gravitational range of the Sun. It's too long for me to predict its future orbit with precision, but I think there's an 80 percent chance it will hit the sun. Ye Luo said, "This means that through the calculation of the orbit of this interstellar stone, we have basically confirmed that there is really a matter exchange between stars, and determined the detailed mechanism of this matter." This is extremely important for us to study the solar system, nay, not only the solar system, but also for us to study the early evolution mechanisms of star systems, and the interaction between different stars. ”

This is indeed an extremely significant discovery, but Wei Feng feels a little lacking in interest in it: "If I can make a paper on this and publish it, I may get a trophy awarded to me by the scientific research department for my contribution to it." But...... What's the point? ”

Wei Feng shrugged his shoulders a little indifferently, and then said, "Seal these materials and all the observation and research data, and save them for later research." ”

"Okay captain, I'll keep them safe." Ye Luo replied.

"By the way, Ye Luo, didn't you say that there are three things to report to me? That's the first thing, so what about the second one? ”

Ye Luo was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's right, during this time, I have observed a total of seven strong flashes from the direction of the solar system, and compared with the past, the frequency of this flash has not only not decreased, but has increased somewhat. This seems to mean that the wars taking place in the solar system have not stopped, but have become more and more intense. ”

"This war has been going on for decades." Wei Feng said with some emotion, the expression on his face quickly turned into a wry smile, "This seems to confirm one point from the side, that is, the heritage of our human civilization is really very deep...... Without a deep foundation, I am afraid that it will not be able to support such a long and huge war. ”

"But the second thing I'm going to report to you isn't this." Ye Luo said.

"Oh?" Wei Feng expressed his doubts in one word.

"The second thing is...... Not only did I observe a violent flash of light in the solar system, but I was also in the South Gate II galaxy...... Somewhat similar intense flashes were also observed. (To be continued......)
