After listening to the introduction, the various members of the fleet fell silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are now four star systems that can be used as transit points for the Earth fleet to leave the solar system, which seems to be a lot of numbers, but it is not so ideal to actually use, because in the face of various unexpected situations, the four star level alternative transit stations are still a bit stretched.

The future destination of the Earth Fleet must not be too close to the solar system, otherwise it will still be difficult to escape the threat of the Ferro civilization.

In the plan of Zhou Chen and others, a red dwarf star system numbered "Trappist-1" located 40 light-years away from the solar system is an ideal destination for the Earth fleet.

At the center of this galaxy is an ultra-cold dwarf star, only one-eighth the size of the Sun, and the temperature is much lower than that of the Sun.

However, the so-called human beings cannot be disguised, the sea water cannot be measured, and when measuring a star, we must not simply look at its size and thus subjectively deny it.

This red dwarf star system is small, but it has its own wonders. The first is its distance, which is 40 light-years away from the solar system, which is not too far to avoid the detection of the Ferro civilization, but not too far for the Earth fleet to reach! It's just right.

What's more, it is an ultra-cold dwarf star, which is a very inconspicuous character in the cosmic star family, and is easily overlooked by everyone.

And what prompted Zhou Chen and them to finally choose it as an alternative destination, not only because of its safety, but also because it couldn't survive with just safety.

The most important thing is, of course, its habitability, as this ultra-cold dwarf star has three planets orbiting around it, and surprisingly, all three planets are terrestrial planets, comparable in size and temperature to Earth! Two of the more inward planets are tidally locked by their parent star and always have only one side facing their "sun", while the other, outer, is located not far from the habitable zone.

This is a very ideal star system, and there is ample evidence that at least two planets in this star system have the potential to harbor life, they may have an atmosphere similar to that of Venus, mainly composed of carbon dioxide, or they may have dense clouds like Earth.

In other words, once the Earth fleet arrives, it only needs a little modification to transform them into a second home for humanity.

If the coordinates provided by the mysterious person really didn't have any gains, Zhou Chen and the others could only calm down and work hard in the direction of the "Trappist-1" red dwarf star system.

But now, they still need to wait for further probe results!

About ten minutes later, the first probes sent back the observation data from the mysterious coordinate point.

- There really isn't anything in this place!

At the same time, the detection range of quantum radar is constantly increasing, and a few hours later, a model of a space sphere no smaller than Neptune's orbit was established.

As expected, it was still empty, and nothing was found.

At this time, everyone in the Earth fleet, including Zhou Chen, had already understood that this area was simply an open area between stars, not to mention big planets, even smaller wandering planets and wandering meteorites.

The expectations were disappointed, and everyone looked at each other, invariably feeling a little frustrated.

"Cao Jiangfeng!" Zhou Chen took a deep breath and shouted.

"Captain, please!" Cao Jiangfeng reacted immediately.

"Since there is no harvest of mysterious coordinates for the time being, from now on, the Academy of Sciences will fully turn to the first goal of reaching the 'Trappist-1' red dwarf star system, and Gustav will be responsible for the exploration of the series of spacecraft for the subsequent stars, and it is necessary to find the best way to go to the 'Trappist-1' red dwarf......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chen frowned, "That's it, the term 'trappist-1' red dwarf is too awkward, so let's change the name to 'red star'." ”

The name Red Star is indeed smoother than a long list of characters, and everyone can't help but nod.

"Red Star is almost 40 light years away from us, and with the fleet's material level, it will definitely not be able to arrive at one time, and it is bound to need to be transferred in the middle to replenish the corresponding resources!" Speaking of which, Zhou Chen was a little difficult.

Gustav said: "To get to Red Star, we need to fly over the star system of 'Aquarius EZ' along the way, and the Exploration Seven spacecraft has arrived in Aquarius EZ four years ago, but unfortunately we have not been able to find a suitable planet as a transit point, but we can't just give up, maybe we can find a suitable planet nearby, from the results of the current exploration, the possibility of finding a suitable planet is very high!" ”

EZ Aquarius is a three-star system of three red dwarf stars, and the chaotic environment makes it difficult for a planet suitable for life to exist around it.

This is actually the norm in the universe, but a steady-state single-star system like the solar system is relatively rare.

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Assuming that we can find a suitable planet within 15 light years in the direction of Red Star, then the entire evacuation process is still very secure, but we can't pin our hopes on uncertain factors. If there is really no way, we can only find a rocky planet along the way and completely transform it! ”

"A complete makeover?" Everyone was taken aback.

Xing Bin, an organic chemist and a member of the Provisional Committee of the Academy of Sciences, shook his head and said: "If there are no suitable basic conditions, the cost of completely transforming a rocky planet is too great, and even if it is all in the form of an aerial fortress, the time required is incalculable......

Zhou Chen couldn't help but sigh, now for the Earth Fleet, the most lacking thing is time, otherwise what planet can't be transformed?

"What if you find a rocky planet that isn't in such a bad situation?" He asked.

Xing Bin still shook his head: "From the perspective of resource cost and time cost, it is not cost-effective to transform the rocky planet, it is better to go directly to the red star." ”

Zhou Chen nodded silently, he is not a leader who can't listen to other people's opinions, in fact, he very much admires the practice of brainstorming, one person is short, two people are long, Zhou Chen knows that it is impossible to understand all aspects, so it is very necessary to listen to everyone's opinions.

And listening to Xing Bin say this, the method of transforming the rocky planet obviously does not work.

The entire command hall was in a cold froze when Abraham, another member of the Provisional Committee, suddenly said, "What if we detour the star Gliese 786?" ”

A detour to the star Gliese 786?

When Cao Jiangfeng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Zhou Chen was a little surprised.

Seeing that many of the people present were still confused, Cao Jiangfeng, who majored in geophysics and planetary observation, began to introduce to everyone:

"Gliese 786 star is a red dwarf 15.3 light-years away from the Earth, its brightness is unstable, so it is a variable star, the mass is much lower than our Sun, the abundance of iron is about 75% of the Sun, the age is about 6.5 billion to 9.9 billion years, it has been found to have three planets, one of which may have the possibility of life, and it is more suitable for modification."

"So is it feasible to circumnavigate the star Gliese 786?"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Jiangfeng, hoping to get a clear answer from him.

This is an answer that determines the fate of the fleet, Rao is Cao Jiangfeng has experienced ups and downs, and he has to be cautious at this moment.

This answer cannot be wrong at all, on the large scale of the universe, any small error will be missed by thousands of miles, and it will be infinitely magnified, and he needs to be responsible for this answer!

After a while, Cao Jiangfeng gritted his teeth and replied, "Absolutely feasible!" ”

"Really?" Zhou Chen was very happy in his heart.

He believed in Cao Jiangfeng's judgment, but for the sake of safety, he still said solemnly: "This choice is very important, you must not be careless, this matter will be led by Cao Jiangfeng to take charge of the Academy of Sciences, allow the use of all the supercomputers of the fleet, and be sure to calculate every detail!" ”

Next, a few people from the Academy of Sciences began to calculate the extra distance to be taken because of the detour, and soon the results came out.

Cao Jiangfeng said excitedly: "If you take a detour, the journey to the Red Star will increase by about 6 light years, but because you have been reinforced, the supplies can be guaranteed!" If Discovery 7 were to fly to Gliese 786 right now, there should be plenty of time to transform it! ”

"In that case, let's follow this plan, and you will calculate it carefully when you go back!"

Zhou Chen thought about it, and there was no other choice for the time being. And as the evacuation time draws closer, this decision will have to be made sooner.

"By the way, this coordinate location provided by the mysterious person should continue to observe, I always have a feeling that this place should not be so simple!"

Zhou Chen still didn't give up, he always felt as if a miracle would happen. (To be continued.) )
