The sky blue giant clouds the shadow of the sun, and the speckled waters of the dark earth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the vast universe, every star is the most exquisite work of art, but you have to admit that there are always some planets that stand out and are more beautiful than others.

The huge planet slowly rotates in the universe, and the sky-blue surface is covered with cloud-like white stripes, which looks like a pure and beautiful planet of life, however, after a closer look, you will find that the whole planet is sky-blue luster, with no yellow or green patterns that symbolize landing, and its size completely shatters this speculation: its volume is about 500 times that of Lanxing...... This can't be an ordinary terrestrial planet, in fact it's a pretty nice gas giant.

If you relax the criteria, its beautiful blue surface and white streaks can indeed be said to be oceans and clouds, but it is definitely not an ocean and clouds made of ordinary liquid water, and the huge pressure and gravity in that environment are enough to kill any ordinary creature who dares to enter, and it is almost a forbidden area for life.

If you look closely at the gas giant, you can see a black dot so small that it is almost impossible to make out of the blue background, and in fact, it is a huge metal starship hundreds of meters long that is drifting into the gravitational circle of the gas giant at inertial speed......

After about a month of sailing from the edge of the star system, the engineering ship carrying a major discovery has finally approached the massive gas giant, and of course, the so-called approach is only on an astronomical scale, and the two are still quite far apart.

Slowly turning a third of its orbit, the engineering ship left the direct area of sunlight and sailed into the huge shadow of the gas giant, and in this starry shadow, the real Yelai Star began to gradually reveal its beautiful figure.

As the home planet of this civilization, Yelai is not a planet in the usual sense, but a moon...... That's right, it's actually a satellite of the dark blue gas giant in front of it.

This is a moon very similar in size to the Arashi Star, perhaps due to some unusual components in the atmosphere, and the entire planet has a faint purple glow when viewed from space. It is evident that Nightshade does not have the kind of huge ocean of global scale, and that the pale blue seas made of liquid water are dotted like small specks on the yellow and green continents, which is a strange scene that almost completely reverses the ratio of sea to land.

What's even more interesting is that the night star is now in a state of global darkness...... It is true that a planet is generally always half facing the Sun in the day and the half facing the Sun in the night, however, Yelai Star is a moon of a gas giant. At this moment, its side facing the sun is completely in the shadow of this huge gas giant, and people on the surface of the planet can probably only see a sky blue planet and a starry sky that occupies almost half of the sky. However, to Xinglan's surprise, there were only a few faint flashes of light in the vast expanse of the land plate of Yelai Star, not the situation where she imagined the land to be almost entirely lit by artificial light sources.

"Even if the entire planet is completely shrouded in darkness, you still can't see any obvious lights......" Sighing lightly, Xinglan looked down at the engineering ship below, and saw that there was also no light in the control room, "This race likes to live in a low-light environment, this is probably predestined in the evolutionary route of adapting to the environment." ”

After preliminarily confirming that the manufacturing process of the wreckage is not owned by the Yelai civilization, of course, the main reason for these Yelai people's firm minds is that the corpse of the migratory bird that cannot be faked is still due to the impossible to fake the corpse of the migratory bird, so when they first returned to the sea, the scientists have already reported the specific situation to the government of Yelaixing, and after the approval of the government, the preliminary information of the alien spacecraft has also been made public among the people of Yelaixing, and the crew of this engineering ship has suddenly become the heroes of their civilization. A hero who finds an alien spaceship and a monster corpse for the first time.

After the ship had completely switched from stellar navigation to orbit around the gas giant, the four or five remaining pilots in the control room began to raise the temperature inside some of the cabins, stimulating the Yelai people who had gone into a natural hibernation to wake up...... It has to be said that for a race that is born with the ability to hibernate for short periods of time, long-distance space travel is much more convenient than other races that rely on artificial hibernation capsules, and the evolution of nature is always quite delicate.

"Are you all right? Didn't you have any bad symptoms, did you? "Some of the Yelai, who appeared to be medical personnel, turned the artificial gravity system down a bit, and began to examine the newly awakened members one by one inside the control room...... Yes, the Yelai people seem to have some kind of very complete artificial gravity technology, which Xinglan has not obtained, and she is also very interested, but there is no theoretical record of artificial gravity in the database of the engineering ship, and after scanning the structure of the ship, it will take a long time to directly forcibly crack the system.

Although the Yelai people are born to hibernate, but after all, they only hibernate on the planet and not in space, and the necessary physical examination is still needed, and these Yelai scientists also know this, and honestly let the doctor do the physical examination before restarting the discussion.

"We can't go back to Nightshade for a while." The first words of the team leader made all the members change their faces at once, but they were all smart people here, and after pondering for a while, everyone showed a clear look, "That's right, that's what you think, the government can't expose the people to unknown risks." ”

At this moment, the engineering ship also happened to pass through the most ideal orbit change entry point, but it did not show any signs of stopping, but continued to rotate around the gas giant in its original state, as the team leader said, its destination was not Yelai Star.

Xinglan was not very surprised, she had been silently observing the engineering ship, and she clearly heard the video call between the team leader and the government officials from beginning to end, and the other party demanded that the engineering ship should not land on Yelaixing, and the crew on the ship should not take other spacecraft back to Yelaixing halfway, and the reasons given were very clear and impossible to refute.

It is impossible to ignore the unknown danger, this is the wreckage of an alien civilization spaceship, not as simple as some random asteroid sample picked up in the outer ring belt, even if no dangerous energy reaction in the wreckage is detected, but in the face of an unknown technological product, who would dare to say that this thing will not have any hidden energy modules? If you bring it to the Night Ray Star, and then this thing suddenly can't think of a gorgeous self-destruct, then it's a lot of fun!

Or in another direction, even if this wreckage has no destructive power, but it is an alien product after all, who knows if it will still carry some kind of extraterrestrial virus with very vigorous vitality? Once some kind of alien germ that is completely unresistant to the Yelai people spreads in the atmosphere of Yelai, it is very likely to be a very terrifying plague disaster! Even the crew of the Yelai people did not rule out the possibility that they had been infected with alien germs, although they had not been in direct contact, but in the face of this unknown thing, who knows if something will happen?

As for the carcass of the migratory bird? Come on, that thing is extremely unsettling just by looking at it! Who would believe it to say that it has no hidden dangers?

The team leader was speechless for all the reasons, and the excitement of the original scientific research discovery was suddenly poured with cold water, he was just too excited for a while, and when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, if this is the case, they will no longer be heroes of civilization, but will become sinners through the ages!

……

"And what does the government say? Although the ship could not land directly on Yelai, it could not withstand any possible risk of loss. After thinking about it, one scientist quickly asked, "They can't just let us float in space all the time, can they?" ”

"yes, so we're going there." The team leader's face looked a little weird, and he said slowly, "The special dangerous experimental quarantine area, you should understand. ”

Suddenly, everyone's faces suddenly became complicated, and they looked at the universe outside the porthole with some expectation and a hint of fear: "The second star of Tianyu ......?"

The second star under the sky, this is just a habitual name, in fact, it is not the second moon of the gas giant where Yelai Star is located, but the first moon in the real sense, the closest moon to the gas giant, and Yelai Star is the second moon of this small galaxy.

However, if you think about it, in the early days of exploring the starry sky, who would have relegated their home planet to second place?

This planet was defined by the early Yelai civilization as the second star under the sky because it is closest to the Yelai Star, and because its orbit changes are the most obvious, and the outline can even be seen with the naked eye on the ground...... Interestingly, they realized early on, or rather guessed that their home planet was also a star, and the majestic figure of the gas giant was directly defined as the second sun, which exceeded the standard of a star.

Of course, the so-called Tianyu Second Star is just a thing with the same number or a nickname, not the real name of this satellite, and Xinglan decisively translated a name that sounds very appropriate for it after searching for the information about this satellite in the database.

It is a place designated by the government as a quarantine site for all kinds of dangerous experiments, and many scientists are eager to go there to conduct high-end scientific research, but they are also extremely frightened by the high number of experimental and environmental deaths there.

After the engineering ship rotated around the gas giant for a period of time again, the engine gradually started and began to change orbit, and the so-called Tianyu Second Star finally appeared in a visible position in front of the porthole.

There was no ocean, no ice, brown rocks covered most of the planet's surface, veins of red magma spread over it, and in the center of the planet, a huge rift that spanned more than half the diameter of the planet was clearly visible even in space.

Lava gushes out of the rift valley, and the erected crack is dyed a vivid red by active geological movements, and with the brown spherical catalog, the sun-exposed planet takes on a very intuitive shape.

The second star under the sky, the dragon's eye.
