Chapter 16: Trek (6)

Since escaping the planet Nabra, this escape has been full of thrills. The pen www.biquge.info Flowers shook the sweat from his neck, and comforted himself to say that it was called a thrill. The mind that had just settled down was wiped out by the fact that he couldn't see his spaceship. The captain's first reaction was actually hard to say, he looked at his assistant in horror, and felt that the assistant's thoughts should be similar to his: the little girl from the enemy took advantage of their landing opportunity to drive the ship away, completely throwing the real operator of the ship on this new planet that didn't even have a fucking name. The voice in the transmission system was clearly a kind of teasing, and the little girl smiled and asked the two if they had seen the spaceship. Nonsense, obviously I can't see it, what else to ask. Can you still be terrified and angry when you see it? In an instant, the shadow of the spaceship flashed, and the original place appeared. The captain looked at his assistant with questions in his eyes, what was going on?

Back at the ship, the captain didn't bother to think about the fact that there were other AI flying objects on the planet, and anxiously asked about the reason why the Odans spaceship disappeared and reappeared. Odance said with some pretension that this ship is really advanced, but you haven't even used a tenth of its actual capabilities. Look, there's also a stealth function in autopilot, haven't you used it? The ship's captain and assistant looked at each other and shook their heads in surprise. Odhans remembered something, and shook his head repeatedly, if I had known that there was still this thing that night, I would have opened it long ago, and we would have come to this place with black eyes. But fortunately, I don't have to be someone else's slave anymore, let alone do those shady things for my master. The little girl talked to herself, the captain took over the cockpit and began to discuss whether to continue to recuperate on the planet, and the assistant suggested that it was possible to consider turning on the stealth mode and then resting, after all, this planet has not yet appeared a real threat except for the appearance of the unidentified artificial intelligence flying object. The captain agreed to his assistant's suggestion, but he had no idea of landing again. Speaking of which, it's a lucky thing to meet other artificial intelligences. Looking into the depths of the vast universe, he really couldn't tell whether this would mean danger or safety. The light display showed a gadget directly in front of the ship, deftly bypassing the deep footprint crater that Korors' one-man system had just left on the planet's surface, and speeding forward. Then a series of moving images appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, and the assistant started a small window on the screen of the operating system, and operated it skillfully. The captain understood, it was the assistant who made the gadget. The assistant once told Crown that when he had nothing to do, he made gadgets to kill time. Is this what it is? This solves a big problem. The captain watched with interest as the four-wheeled gadget moved forward, transmitting the data collected through the sensors back to the ship's central computer. Once the computer has built a basic data framework model, it begins to populate the data.

The data shows that the planet's basic composition is mainly composed of hydrogen, with small amounts of helium and microtraces, and its inner core consists of silica solids and ice, and the outer perimeter is covered by several layers of metallic hydrogen and gas. The outermost layer of the atmosphere is outwardly bland in the current situation. The planet's measured air flow moves at speeds of up to 1,800 flight units, making it a distinctly fast air-like pop star. Saturn's atmosphere is dominated by hydrogen and helium, and contains Class A combustible compounds and other gases, and clouds of dense ammonia crystals float in the atmosphere. Viewed from the ship's portholes, the clouds appear to form parallel stripes, bland and not bright enough, but the bands are much more regular. The color of the cloud band is mainly golden yellow, and the rest is orange, pale yellow, etc. The surface of the planet is fluid. The airflow near its maximum radial direction is the same as the direction of rotation, and the velocity is considerable. The planet's magnetic field is moderately strong, making it ideal for the spacecraft to serve as a relay point for recuperation missions.

The gadget turns in the other direction of the planet. The captain was worried that the operation of the assistant would be affected by the distance, but he did not expect to worry too much. The information provided by the small detection system is still timely and clear. The planet has a very significant ring system, but the distribution in the direction approaching the Chronos spacecraft is weak, which makes it unnoticed by the people on the spacecraft. Detection system data showed that the ring was mainly composed of ice particles and a small number of rock debris and dust.

This is not the most surprising thing about the captain, the detection system has detected that there are 62 satellites on the planet. Of these, the sixth from the inside out is the largest in the planetary system, and even the star that Flowers has just passed by is even bigger; Interestingly, this satellite is the only one of the 62 with a significant atmosphere. The satellite has a diameter of 4828 micrometric units and an average density of 1.9 Wiber per cubic centimeter. With an average distance of 1.22 million micrometric units from the host star, it orbits the host star in a near-circular orbit. However, it seems that this satellite is a bit stubborn, and the word that comes to the captain's head is that it always faces its host star in the same way. Because the satellite seen by the probe can only see the same half of the satellite all the time. The orbit of the satellite is basically within the equation radial of the host star. The captain sighed, whose work is this universe? It is possible to achieve such a natural wonder in the evolution of celestial bodies. The planet evolved with Saturn and is a stable moon, unlike a small object that was later captured by the main star.

It appears that the planet formed with an accretion of earth and ice, followed by an accumulation of gases. If the speculation is correct, the planet has a rocky core with a huge diameter. This nucleus occupies at least 10 to 20 percent of the planet's mass, and is surrounded by a 5,000-kilometer-thick ice crust and an 8,000-kilometer-thick layer of metallic hydrogen, beyond which is an extensive layer of molecular hydrogen. After reading this information, the captain asked the assistant what your detection system was joking. What we just felt was flying dust, which clearly did not match this information. The assistant said I had a situation to report. The landing location of our spacecraft is actually not ideal. When looking in the direction of the planet from the ship, it is downward, and it is not visible at all. If you don't pay attention to it after logging in, you will ignore it. Impatiently, the captain asked Endals what he wanted to say, and the assistant said I meant we were in a pit of considerable depth. I also just found out that the data of the self-test system of the small detection instrument shows that it consumes a very huge amount of energy, several times that of the usual mission, and there is only one possibility for this to happen, and there is a problem with the path of travel. I checked the terrain near the ship and found that we were actually in a huge crater. In other words, the flying dust we see may be the inner part of the planet.

The captain thought of something, and the corner of his eye swept the data on the light display, and an idea appeared in his mind, could it be that the strange spaceship was coming for the resources on this planet? For example, metallic hydrogen. Even the youngest children in Nabra know that this hydrogen is an excellent fuel for interstellar flight. All that is needed is mining and then simple processing, and it is ready to use. If the purpose of the strange ship is really what Chronos thinks, then it means that the owner of the ship has the same level of technology as Nabra. The captain didn't know why he suddenly felt a different smell in the air, and he felt very bad. He beckoned his assistant to retract the detection system and prepare to fly away. The assistant agreed, and began to enter the recovery instructions. The recovery command was sent several times, but the small detection system simply ignored the command and went all the way. The assistant was in a hurry and muttered something was wrong. The live footage that continued to come back began to shake violently. The satellite in the corner of the image began to rotate slowly, wasn't it fixed? A white light was projected from the satellite, the image was gone, and it was clear that the detection instrument had been destroyed. There was no need to hesitate, the spaceship dragged itself through the remnants of the vast universe in the rapid operation of the captain and assistants, spewed a dazzling tail flame, and left this relay point. Happily, there were no pursuing ships behind him. What the hell does this mean, the captain furrowed his brow, and the skin on his face began to become very ugly. There was a moment of silence in the cockpit. It's strange that Odans hasn't spoken, what she's doing.

Perhaps we need to admit the fact that the owners of this ship have a higher level of evolution and technology than we do. Odans came to his own conclusion. Obviously, this is true. Odhans wouldn't have thought about it for a long time and just got this result, right? What Crown needed to know was the words she had in her words. Odans thinks that the unfamiliar spacecraft may be an autonomous system-operated spacecraft, but the purpose is unclear. Most likely, the strange ship has just returned to the mother ship on which it was launched. Endals thought of something, he looked up at the planet's moon that was slowly changing direction, and muttered, could this be its mothership? Unfortunately, Odans said, what we don't want to see is true. The captain suggested that if the satellite was a mother ship, such a circular shape would be the most unfavorable for flight in terms of shape. So it's unlikely. Odans said that she thinks that satellites are still satellites, but they have been modified by the owner of a strange spacecraft and already have the ability to fly in space. The captain said that it was incredible, and Odhans scoffed, saying that it was an extremely stupid attempt not to use narrow thinking skills to constantly touch all kinds of wonders in the universe. The captain was so angry that Odance actually taught him a lesson with the words of Nabra's great thinker Temuras! However, I have to admit that the captain did just make such an attempt. Yes, if a satellite is intercepted and the cosmic stress formula for its space flight is mastered, it is not impossible to make the satellite fly. However, such a huge satellite has been transformed into a de facto aircraft mother ship, which shows the height of civilization that has transformed it. The captain didn't even dare to think about it, the probe was destroyed, but the huge satellite didn't arrive, fortunately. The captain asked his assistant what might be the reason, but the other party only destroyed their probe, but did not attack the ship. The assistant thought about it and said that he had no clue, and Odans hurriedly answered, she thought that the other party might also be surprised by the appearance of the Korols spacecraft, so she easily did not make too many moves, but hoped to test the strength of the Korors spacecraft by destroying the seemingly small probe.

The captain asked his assistant to speed away from here for the simple reason that it was simple. If the other party sees that they start to take off when the probe is destroyed, it is easy to judge their strength, so it is natural to take advantage of the situation to intercept the spaceship that destroyed Korors alive. So, the most important thing now is to drive away at high speed. The spaceship seemed to know its master's thoughts, and although it trembled very much, it still flew out for a long time in one go. You should be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that there are more advanced civilizations in this universe than the Nabra civilization. The captain remembered that when he was still in his junior school, a major scientific event had happened to Nabra. That year, a group of scientists proposed to send probes into the depths of the universe in an attempt to connect with other civilization-bearing entities in space. Unfortunately, since that launch, there has been no news since. The opposition in parliament pointed out that this was a whimsical and stupid waste of money. In the end, the state stopped supporting these scientists and waited for a response, and the project was soon abandoned. Discouraged, most of the scientists began to accept the fact that there were no other civilizations outside of Nabra, because if they did, their ties to Nabra would have been established long ago. However, with some stubborn science and persistence, there must be other civilizations. This includes the strange professor that Crown met when he was in his twenties at flight school, and the old man insisted that one day they would make a connection. Flowers really wanted to tell that respectable and lovely professor that he had really met him. But it's not a good connection, it's a limited attack or a warning.

In fact, the rest was not completed, so I had to continue to rest while flying. Odans was very proud of the fact that he had made the ship invisible. She laughed at the captain and his assistants, such an interesting high-tech configuration was completely ignored. She believes that it was her own actions that saved the ship's life, in other words, she saved everyone on board. The captain was impatient with the little girl's statement, and it turned out that Odance was the same as all the other women, and usually had a problem with non-stop talking. His tone contained a sarcastic smile and a few calls for his life-saving benefactor, but instead made a mockery of the assistant working in front of the console.

The next question that needs to be pondered is, can we stop or not? If it stops, what kind of planet is appropriate, and if it goes on, then where is the direction. Odhans turned towards the light that could still be seen behind him, and asked the captain if this new star could also give birth to a full-fledged galaxy, could he choose this place as a temporary destination? Chronos said heavily, of course. The question is whether this star can be the same as the regular stars in the Nabra system. If the answer is yes, that's great, and then you just need to pay attention to that unknown civilization. Planets suitable for landing are naturally planets that must meet the requirements of the living systems of Colors. First of all, the planet needs to have the right distance from the star, too close or too far away. In addition to this, there is also a need for the basic elements for the synthesis of matrix proteins. This is a very real problem, only with these elements can it be possible to evolve to the food they need in Koros, and the three people on the ship can stay for a while. These two conditions make such a planet possible but not sought.
