Chapter 169: ...... in the middle of the night
Band-gravity space experiment, half-night heterochromatic sky.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xinglan didn't stay in the second orbital lab for long before leaving quickly, and even then she still looked uneasy.
The "prototype celestial-scale biological telescope" is a project that is being studied at this orbital station, which is mostly covered with space glass...... Push the limits of your neural endurance.
The scientists of the Yelai people seemed to have glued together two rough meat balls of different sizes, and the outside of the larger meat ball was a huge lens with a diameter of four or five meters, and the dense thick nerve knots exposed on the surface were enough to make any normal Yelai people completely lose their appetite, this thing was actually an astronomical telescope made by biological means!
Even Xinglan couldn't stand this weird villain style, and the way those scientists used this telescope was even more terrifying, actually poking their own head into that small ball of flesh to operate...... This is said to be the best way to achieve the best neural connections, but the visuals are really exciting.
Of course, these scientists didn't create this giant telescope in a rather curious style to disgust others, and theoretically it would be a device that could be observed through neural connections in the true sense of the word...... In other words, you can see through this telescope as if you were seeing it yourself, which means that you have your own pupils that can look into the distance, which is a very convenient tool.
But it's clear that this thing is still some way from being completed...... Or far from it at all. Not to mention that once the nerve connection starts, this thing will gradually turn red from black, and soon the connection will have to be interrupted due to the excessive temperature caused by too fast heating, just before Xinglan left, I also heard a few Yelai scientists discussing the sad story of an old timer who had just been transferred for three days was bitten off by this toothless creature because he was careless when he tried to use this astronomical telescope......
I don't know why I can't feel sad in every sense at all......
Of course, not all laboratories are so tricky, Xinglan still found a lot of valuable information after sweeping back and forth in the low-earth orbit of Longyan Star for several hours, such as some specific applications of quantum effects or synthetic formulas of special materials, etc., and she also successfully obtained scientific and technological information about the use of band fields by the Yelai people to create artificial gravity...... This method is quite mature in the Yelai civilization, and it is not very difficult to achieve, and the poor ones are often just a flash of inspiration.
However, soon, Xinglan visited all the laboratories near the dragon's eye, after all, there can be hundreds of orbital laboratories of this level is already the result of the Yelai Star Unified Government's great attention to scientific research and a lot of investment, you can't expect them to be so numerous that they can fill the sky of the dragon's eye.
A lot of bits and pieces were collected, but nothing was found in the truly particularly breakthrough scientific and technological achievements, after all, the level of technology of Yelai Star was even more than that of the technology on the Nova by nearly a hundred years, and Xinglan didn't have much hope of finding any black technology at first.
In addition to the artificial gravity technology that clearly distorts the tech tree, the only one of these lab projects that really caught Xinglan's attention was a special lab set up near the Ring Star Particle Accelerator...... This unusual laboratory is not a monolith, but floats in a vacuum in the form of many modules, and the experimental site is completely in a vacuum, and their project is really surprising to Xinglan.
"Space Warp Morphology and Curvature Level Test", although the name is right, but what they are really trying to do is ...... Space Doors.
That's right, it's not the short-distance jump engine of the Earth civilization, but the real space gate, just like the stable space tunnel opened by Xinglan through the signal, and Xinglan really doesn't know how to complain about it...... It's as ridiculous as trying to learn to run without even mastering how to jump in space, as if you can't walk and want to learn to run.
Unexpectedly, although this laboratory has tossed a large number of machines and equipment that can interfere with the stability of space, it has never really opened any space door, not even a femtosecond opening, but their theoretical data on spatial changes has been unceremoniously packaged and copied by Xinglan...... Xinglan opened the space door entirely by relying on the ability of the signal to interfere with the space, and she really didn't know how to establish a stable space door with pure technology, but the original air disk civilization must have been able to do this, but unfortunately, for the civilization whose combat power was extremely terrifying and could even detect the signal sub, Xinglan really didn't dare to try to steal their scientific and technological information.
After all the laboratories near Longyan Star had wandered around, the engineering ship carrying the wreckage of the Discovery and the corpses of the Star Bird had already docked near a certain orbital laboratory, and when Xinglan came back from circling the low-Earth orbit of Longyan, he also saw many Night Lai Star people nervously transferring these wreckage samples...... It seems that their government really attaches great importance to these samples, and even gave up on letting some rough space robots carry them and instead worked purely human, which is to ensure that these samples are intact at the risk of casualties.
Finally, looking at the wreckage carried by these staff members for a while, Xinglan finally felt a little tired, it seems that Longyan Star has no value worth staying here, then, it's time to ...... It's time to check out their home star, Nightlystar.
Thinking so, the signal began to retreat in space, and the huge planet that occupied half of the field of vision gradually shrank, slowly turning into a hideous spherical eye in space again, and around the quarter-circle of the huge sky blue giant, Xinglan once again saw the life planet in the long night in the starry sky.
Yelai Star, a solid satellite with speckled waters scattered across the earth, is very close in size and gravity to Lanxing, and the atmosphere is shrouded in a faint layer of purple.
In the distance, Xinglan could see tiny points of light moving rapidly in the darkness of the planet. They weren't city lights, they were a large number of space stations and spaceships floating in orbit around the star Nightlai. Quite different from the faint ground lights, the enclosures of these space facilities are often equipped with very harsh pulsed signal lights, which seems to be a common denominator of all the Yelai space vehicles...... Perhaps because they are creatures that adapt to dark environments, they are particularly sensitive to light, and traffic lights have become a universal symbol of distancing here.
As for another common denominator of space vehicles...... Just a little accelerated, and a space station that was originally very far away was directly approached by Xinglan to a distance of only a few hundred meters, which was a silver wavy mark sprayed on the outer shell of the space station, which should be the mark of the government of this planet? Xinglan is not too sure, obviously no one will enter this kind of common-sense information such as the national emblem into the database of the scientific research station.
"Perfect aerospace technology, completely entering the civilization of the space age, but the interior of the space station is also only in a low-light environment." Through the transparent windows of the space station, Xinglan looked at the Yelai people coming and going in space, "Almost all the space facilities are equipped with a complete artificial gravity system, and it seems that the social situation is also very stable, but in this case...... Could this civilization be too comfortable? ”
She didn't stay there for too long, Xinglan set her eyes on the Yelai Star shrouded in deep darkness below, she was already a little eager to see the civilization buildings on the surface of this planet, but she didn't plan to go to any wilderness, even if it was a small village, it was better to go directly to the big city.
However, as we all know, it is too easy to find the big city from space on Earth, you just need to follow the bright lights that almost illuminate the surface of the planet in the night hemisphere, and the most prosperous place is the big city.
But Nightshade is different...... The fact that the Yelai people like to live in low-light environments obviously means that their cities will not be very brightly lit, and even if there are scattered signal towers in those cities, it is not easy to find them from space.
Xinglan looked around the space city, and didn't see anything like a space elevator in his sight, it seems that the increasingly advanced space technology has freed the Yelai people from their dependence on this tool, at least so far, Xinglan has seen a lot of cargo spaceships shuttling between space stations.
It seems that this is no fun~ Xinglan is not in a hurry at all, because she knows that even if visible light cannot detect specific signals, there is one thing that cannot be hidden by the Yelai people.
Electromagnetic waves, search for the density distribution of electromagnetic wave signals around the world!
A large amount of data is quickly uploaded to the signal subnetwork for aggregation and statistical analysis, and a colorful electromagnetic wave density distribution map is quickly drawn, and in this map, the radio wave density is extremely high...... It should undoubtedly be the big city on the Night Lai Star.
Randomly picked a place with a high peak, Xinglan began to slowly descend the perspective of the signal sub, and after entering the atmosphere, you can see the sky-blue gas giant rising and magnifying in the sky, and the magnificent figure seems to bring a faint light to the night world.
And that star...... The true lightbringer of this star system is firmly obscured behind by the giant star, and it will only wait until the end of a cycle that it will once again shine on the land of the night star.
The blue sun is in the sky, the golden sun is hidden, and this moment is called the middle of the night in the time of the night star ...... It is not the meaning of the middle hour of the night, as is commonly understood, but the meaning of only half the night.
"I can already see it." Whispering to herself, Xinglan looked down at the dark earth below, and after enhancing the resolution of the light, she could already vaguely see the outline of the large area of buildings below, "This is the big city of Yelai Star." ”
(Well, today's second update will be delivered to ...... )
