Seven years ago, a scientific research spacecraft headed for Sirius C in the constellation Canis Major, about 8 or 6 light-years from Earth, was forced to land on Proxima B due to engine failure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 It was located about 30,000 kilometers away from Proxima Centauri B and flew around three times -- and then the spacecraft left the space orbital station and plunged headlong into the mist-shrouded surface of the planet from a height of 10,000 meters.

As night falls, in a clearing at the edge of a forest at 30 degrees north latitude of the planet's equator, ghostly fires light up in the gloomy forest swamp. When the wind started, a short time later, a poisonous miasma rose in the dark, cold, and damp swampy forest, like ghosts ready to attack the earthlings who had come to land.

The astronauts did not dare to drill out of the silver-white protective metal egg, because the edge of the forest was full of black swamp meadows, and the poisonous miasma covered the sky. Stayed here for about two hours, suddenly in the darkness of the night, faintly heard a strange roar that looked like a tiger and a strange beast not far away, by the starlight, but saw about 10 meters in front of the forest near a swamp, a long more than ten zhang, about the thickness of the barrel mouth and like a snake not a snake like a dragon and not a dragon sucker monster and another about 1 year old, covered in red gold fur one-horned fire-breathing monster started a fight to the death. At first, the fire-breathing monster's big eyes were foraging for food at the edge of the forest, perhaps because it was extremely hungry, and it was also very surprised to find a thousand-legged sucker monster about the thickness of a barrel and more than a dozen lengths lying on the edge of the swamp. It walked around the thousand-legged sucker monster twice, and then saw an opportunity to pounce on the monster worm's head and bite it. The mire monster was attacked by a surprise attack, and shook the snake's head, and in an instant a blue-black poisonous mist erupted from its belly; Seeing that the situation was not good, the one-horned fire-breathing monster also jumped to the side, and a cloud of crimson flames erupted from its mouth. The two poisons do not give in to each other, and they fight and fight. He didn't dare to look any further, but let the microrobot shoot the video of the fight - most of the night passed, only to see the thousand-legged sucker monster with the power of its tail fiercely wrapped around a strange stone, while the head and waist were tightly wrapped around the fire-breathing monster in multiple segments; After a long battle between the two sides, the one-horned fire-breathing monster finally let out a few last weak roars due to lack of strength, allowing the millipede to devour it alive...... After dawn, the millipede was injured by the poisonous flames of the one-horned fire-breathing monster, and in the end, it did not escape its death......

After the danger passed, after about several hours of repairs, the astronauts finally eliminated the ship's engine failure and then tested its drives; Earthlings who set foot on the planet for the first time only explored it for about six or seven hours, as their first flight was a terrestrial planet orbiting Sirius Binary, Little Green Man 2, known to the Mayans in the 16th century as Sirius C. The research spacecraft was forced to return to the Mars space landing station, on the way to Proxima Centauri B on its way to outer space in Canis Major.

As the saying goes: one day in heaven and one year on earth. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a young man surnamed Dong Mingyong who had no father and no mother in Niujia Village, Jiangnan Water Township, because the Dong family had no land to cultivate, and the family was surrounded by walls, so Dong Yong gave a rich man's family cattle grazing, and the villagers gave him a nickname: "Cowherd". In the early hours of one morning, when Dong Yong was ordered by the rich man to leave his friends who had herded cattle together since he was a child, and was grazing cattle on the bank of a small river in front of the village, he suddenly heard a delicate sound in the air. Among them, there is a fairy in white who seems to be riding a crane and dancing in the moonlight, which is very beautiful. Listen to the fairies call her "Seventh Sister." Dong Yong hid in the jungle by the river, silently watching the fairies sing and dance in the watery moonlight. I don't know when, but I heard a long "moo" on the meadow by the river, and the cheerful cry of an adult cattle about 5 years old gnawing grass; The group of fairies bathing in the moonlight were so frightened that they hurriedly packed their clothes and rode away in the sky with colorful clouds. Seeing this, Dong Yong leaned over and picked up the white-clothed fairy called the "Seventh Sister" in a hurry, leaving a neon dress...... When Dong Yong was about to return home, he occasionally noticed that the bullwhip in his hand seemed to be rotten. When he returned to the village, he somehow found that it seemed that decades had passed, Dong Yong was still young, and his former friends had become gray-haired old men. Dong Yong returned home that day, but to his surprise, a young and beautiful woman at home was cooking lunch and waiting for him to dine together. It is said that the Seven Fairies saw that Dong Yong was simple and honest, and later married Dong Yong as a lady; The two men are farming and weaving, and their lives are simple and ordinary. The Queen Mother in the West Heavenly Yao Pond was furious when she saw that her precious daughter Seven Fairies dared to marry Fan Chen in violation of the Emperor's order, and immediately ordered the Heavenly Soldiers to arrest this loving couple and go to the Heavenly Court, far away from the east and west banks of the Heavenly River...... On the night of the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there are two bright stars on the east and west banks of the Tianhe River, that is, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. That is, every "Qixi night", there are heavenly magpies for the couple to build a bridge to meet, this poignant love story has been praised by people for thousands of years - the ancients poems: green silk and red face are lovely, and the red lips are lightly opened. Where can I see it in the world, I can only smell the heavenly immortals. When the scientific research spacecraft finally returned to the ground from outer space, the astronauts found that it seemed as if more than seven years had passed on Earth.

-- The intended destination of this expedition to the outer solar system is set at a distance of 600,000 kilometers from the Blue Starfish at Y-Gliese 163F in the constellation Cygnus, in order to avoid interference from the two moons of the Blue Starfish as much as possible. As a leader, Flessisco completed more than 90 percent of the operations. It takes about two days to confirm the interstellar bearing, correct the course, and replenish the energy after each 10-light-year jump. In fact, everything is arranged by a supercomputer program, and all the leader can do is press the confirmation button, which is only a façade, but it makes people feel as if they are in control of their destiny. Fleisisco shook his head away from the thought, and pressed his thumb down resolutely to initiate one last jump......

Forty-five Earth days later, the scientific expedition "Galaxy 2" antimatter particle faster-than-light spacecraft passed through a "wormhole" (i.e., an interstellar space-time tunnel) and abruptly appeared in the outer space of the blue starfish, like a ghost emerging from the distant void. The shield slowly opened, filtering the bright light of the parent star. Princess Qian'er, the little mermaid, and Adan the black man couldn't wait to untie themselves and drift to the porthole, where the huge figure of the blue starfish was suspended in the dark deep sky in the distance, like a porcelain plate painted with blue patterns; And the two moons in the deep sky, one blue and one red, reflect each other......

Yes, the ice blue color covers the entire surface of the blue starfish, a water planet with no land. Although this is a fact that is already known from the data, the huge contrast with the earth still makes it difficult to believe your eyes at first sight.

"It's beautiful." Princess Qian'er, the little mermaid, was fascinated and exclaimed: "Hey, Adam, do you think it looks like a cornflower sapphire?" ”

"I really want to put it in a ring and give it to my bride." Adan said quietly: "But it is really too peculiar, there is no land. ”

As he spoke, Fleisisco suddenly noticed that the sea water was boiling in the distance, and a column of water more than thirty meters high was gushing. Subsequently, the water column turned into a mass of water more than 2,000 meters high, which spread to the entire surface of the sea. After about a day and night, Fleisisco looked down at the area again from the space orbital station, and found a small island that had never been seen before, about 3 meters high, with a huge column of steam and debris still erupting in the center, and a large number of reddish-brown stones and various dead fish floating on the surface of the surrounding sea......

The next day, the island had grown to more than 70 meters, and curious astronauts braved the scorching steam to go up to the island, where they found that the island was very inhospitable, devoid of any animals or plants, only pumice, volcanic cinders and spindle-shaped volcanic bombs. Later, the island was named: "Ghost Island", and as the astronauts were busy surveying, naming it, mapping it, and determining where it would land for future earthlings, about two days and nights later, the island shrank to 1/7 of its original size. After another seven days and nights, the island disappeared from the sea. What's even more amazing is that in the more than 100 **** nights since then, this small island has repeatedly appeared and disappeared......

Where did this "ghost island" on the blue starfish come from? And why? The central computer attributed the island's cause to a volcanic eruption at the bottom of the sea. At the bottom of the ocean, there are countless volcanoes, and when these volcanoes erupt, the detritus and lava that eject from them cool, solidify, and accumulate on the ocean floor, and as the eruption material grows and the accumulation of material is too large to be transferred out of the sea, a new island is formed. As for the disappearance of the island, Adan the black man on the ship attributed it to the base of the lava formed by the eruption of volcanic magma that failed to connect with the bedrock of the seabed, and after some time, the new island could not resist the continuous erosion of the ocean currents and broke off from the roots, and finally disappeared; The Little Mermaid, Princess Qian'er, believes that the island disappeared because it was destroyed by a new submarine volcanic eruption. At the same time, they believe that volcanic activity caused the crust to sink in the same place, which caused the island to fall......

Although these opinions and speculations have some truth and scientific basis, they cannot completely explain when the ghost islands on the Blue Starfish disappeared from time to time, and there were no strong earthquakes, tsunamis and turbulence in their adjacent waters. These questions still baffle astronauts greatly......

Flessisko's movements seemed to be half a beat slower than the young man's, and he stared at the blue starfish, and his heart fluctuated for a moment. "Blue starfish is not peculiar, on the contrary, it is the Earth that is more peculiar."

"What did you say?" The black man Adam asked, puzzled.

"There are only two kinds of planets in the universe, either liquid or solid water, or none. Giant gas planets like Jupiter are rare—and planets with liquid or solid water are less than 1 in 100 million in comparison. This requires a series of extremely difficult conditions for the planet to meet, such as the distance between the planet and the star, the age of the star, the rate of rotation of the planet, the mass and gravitational force of the planet, and the thickness of the atmosphere. These conditions are as harsh as the singular precision of the cosmological constant. If you think about it, there are so many planets, asteroids, and moons in the solar system, but only the Earth is sure to have liquid or solid water. "But on the other hand, because of the incomparably large amount of matter in the universe (because we live in a universe of trillions of light-years), the number of planets with liquid or solid water is actually astronomical," Flesisko patiently explains. And if we accept that the spontaneity of life is correct in billions of years, then liquid or solid water and life exist almost as an equal concept. Therefore, in general view, life in the universe is by no means unique to the earth......"

"I probably know that." Princess Qian'er, the Little Mermaid, interjected: "But what did you mean when you said that the earth is peculiar just now? ”

"You should know that 71 percent of the earth's surface is oceans, and 29 percent is land and ice caps. I mean, on planets with liquid or solid water, it's a very peculiar phenomenon of small probability. ”

Princess Qian'er, the little mermaid, and Adan the black man looked at each other, their expressions a little dazed...... (To be continued.) )
