The red and blue stars dance together, and the magnetic ring star island is surrounded by lights.

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

Zizizi......

Bright points of light danced and shimmered happily on the black alloy surface, dotting the dark world.

"It's finally done...... Xinglan carefully wiped out the last trace of the gap with a welding tool, and then retracted the pile of spare parts floating next to her into the pocket of her overalls, and gently kicked the metal plate and floated into space, "The Discovery repair is complete...... Probably? ”

Well, it is impossible to repair it as natural as new in this environment, Xinglan just tried her best to restore some important parts that could be repaired, such as the pits on the shell, there was really no way.

"The gravity-free space of the universe and the bottom of the ocean have one thing in common......" Helplessly reaching out to tidy it up, Xinglan was a little impatient, "It's really troublesome that your hair always covers your vision, but it's a pity that although you can adjust the color of your hair, you can't adjust the length." ”

After operating on the control panel on his waist, the single motorized backpack behind him spewed a small airflow, pushing Xinglan around most of the Explorer's hull and back to the external hatch of the main control room.

Standing at the mouth of the passage, Xinglan looked at the young yellow star from afar...... Well, it should be a little older than her.

Ah, is this considered a senior?

After thinking about it for a while, Xinglan left a part of the signal to continue to replicate itself inside the reef star, which not only left a positioning coordinate, but also turned the star into a part of her body...... Of course, that would have to wait until there were enough signals here to fill the stars.

Well, although Xing Lan is confident that Lan Xing won't have any problems, but everything has to leave a way back, right?

So next...... Starland closes the hatch and watches as the electronic system automatically locks the hatch, it's time to move on to the next trip......

After the signal is replenished, the journey of chaos jumps again!

……

Beautiful stars.

The huge red star and another bright blue star surround each other, dancing around each other, and the intertwined gravitational fields seem to be playing a cosmic music.

Quiet, wonderful. This is Xinglan's impression of this star system.

After leaving Rocking, the Explorer made three chaotic jumps, but all of them were empty interstellar space. When the energy of the signal on the verge was once again unable to support the protection work, the Discovery mission came to the star system of binary stars.

An old but still stable red giant, a young and strong blue main-sequence star, they are attracted to each other and form a stable binary star system.

Five cone-shaped vents behind the black shuttle spacecraft, powered by the antimatter energy furnace, spew bright blue-white tail flames, steadily moving through the starry sky and flying towards the binary system in front of it.

Discovery did not appear in the interior of the binary system, but at some distance from it. Of course, this distance is nothing for the Discovery, as it is also equipped with the same short-range jump system as the Nova.

Xinglan made the explorer move in the direction of the double star, and at the same time combined the signal prons attached to the ship's hull to form a huge optical sensor in front of it, and captured photons to judge the situation ahead.

"The starry sky here is so beautiful, red and blue." Xinglan looked at the dark starry sky between the two stars, carefully adjusting the data of the optical sensor, "Can you find it?" ”

After increasing the visual discrimination, a little starlight began to appear in the originally dark place, these were originally very dim starlight in the distance, but they were not what Xinglan was looking for.

Can you find it? Xinglan is not sure, the probability of this kind of thing being is really small, but if it is found, it will be a great achievement!

The brightness may be low, but it is significantly different from the light of a star...... Will the planets of this star system really exist?

[Short Jump On.] 】

With the prompt of the main system of the Explorer, without a hint of foresight, the spacecraft instantly accelerated, turned into a streamer and galloped in the starry sky, and then ...... Disappear into thin air!

Quick flash!

When Discovery reappeared in the starry sky, it was already hundreds of astronomical units away, and because there was no need to collect energy from the starry sky, it only took a short period of accelerated gliding to enter a state of transition again.

The line of sight was temporarily disturbed, and Xinglan, who had not yet found the target, could only pause the search operation, readjust the navigation parameters of the spacecraft, and she contacted Lanxing again to confirm that there was no dangerous situation.

With three short space jumps, Discovery is fully within the reach of a binary star system, and can even faintly feel the gravitational influence from the stars.

"Search again......" Xinglan controlled multiple invisible signal sub-sensors to rotate in space at the same time, "Here, there is no ...... Here, still not...... No, there are no fast-moving points of light like planets, all of which are fixed to the background...... No, the speed of the point of light is not right! ”

Xinglan's gaze focused on a unique point of light, although due to the rotation of the spaceship, even a long-fixed star will have a significant displacement in a short period of time, but the speed of the movement of this point of light in front of him is a little wrong!

"Where is it......" Xinglan became serious, "the equilibrium point of the two stars?" ”

As it is, because the position is exactly at the equilibrium point of the gravitational pull of the two stars, it does not orbit, but has a very fixed position like a real star.

Well, it looks like a strange planet!

Although Xinglan said this, she was very happy. In a sense, Xinglan's strongest emotion should be regarded as curiosity.

"Discovery, course change, close to gravitational equilibrium." After entering the target coordinates, Xinglan quietly waited for the Discovery to approach the mysterious planet, "The interference signal is very strong, and even the signal cannot observe the true face of the planet from such a distant place, which is really ...... It's so exciting! ”

【Preparing for a short-distance space jump......】

The thin layer of space on the surface of the ship distorted again, causing mysterious ripples, slamming the Discovery into a completely different world, and throwing the ship back into normal space in an infinitely short time slate...... But it's already far away.

"Here, you can see ......" Xinglan muttered to herself softly, "The signal is locked at full power and magnifies the target." ”

A faintly visible point of light gradually enlarged in the field of vision, and Xinglan looked at it carefully, not letting go of a single detail.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when the planet with the two suns really began to loom, Xinglan couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "This ...... How is this possible? ”

She'd never seen anything like it!

The planet ...... Not spherical, it should perhaps be said that its shape is more like an island, an island floating in the starry sky!

Brilliant bands of light surrounded the island, and as the Explorer approached, Xinglan could already feel the huge magnetic fluctuations emitted by the island, which were as dazzling as a lighthouse.

【Warning! The magnetic field strength exceeds the standard and is shielding ......]

"This is not scientific, how can there be such strong magnetic field fluctuations?" Xinglan looked at the island wrapped in the light band in surprise, "Although it is small, the stream of high-energy particles from the two huge stars is completely deflected by its magnetic field, forming such a bright excitation band. Could it be that the whole planet is made of magnets? ”

This island-like planet is located on the Lagrange point of this binary star system!

"Could it be a sapient being?" Xinglan muttered to herself with some uncertainty, "Although everything seems to be a natural phenomenon, it is too much of a coincidence. ”

Should it be closer?

Discovery flew towards the only planet in the star system, and the violent electromagnetic field even began to interfere with the interior of the spacecraft, but fortunately, after opening the overall barrier, Discovery was still able to cope with the situation in front of it.

"This strange planetary island surrounded by high-energy bands of light, with a strong geomagnetic field, is surrounded by double stars...... Pregnant! Xinglan smiled and concluded, "Let's call you Magnetic Ring Island!" ”

With a slamming hull, the Discovery crashed into the outermost band of light, almost ten times the diameter of the magnetic ring, and streams of high-energy particles collided wildly on the radiation barrier, trying to destroy the ship completely.

"The impact is too strong for the spaceship itself to resist." Slightly nervous, Xinglan spread her consciousness throughout the ship, "Signal sub-defense, absorb high-energy radiation." ”

After breaking out of the light belt, the magnetic ring island catalog in front of him was still shrouded in a mist, and the golden gas layer wrapped the entire island, all of which became more and more like the work of intelligent beings.

"Let's fly around the outside first." Xinglan let the exploration ship temporarily anchor outside the atmosphere, although the magnetic ring island is not spherical, but the gravity can be regarded as the mass of a small planet, so there is no problem in orbiting the flight, "collecting atmospheric samples ......"

Diving down a little lightly, the sampler at the bottom of the Explorer collected some top-layer atmospheric samples, and Xinglan quickly identified the composition: "It's a greenhouse atmosphere with excessive sulfides, why is it so fateful?" ”

But for now, it seems that there is no problem for Discovery to enter the atmosphere.

There was no need for a rudder, and with a slight movement of consciousness, the jets at the tail of the Discovery turned an angle, and the ship quickly rushed into the atmosphere.

Without a small shuttle, the large spacecraft could only be allowed to go in its entirety, but the Discovery was not too big, and it was not very difficult to get out of the gravitational circle of the magnetic ring again.

……

After a quick swoop through the golden atmosphere, the scenery below comes into view.

"There are no obvious civilized buildings, and the outside temperature is frighteningly high. What's that, though? Xinglan zoomed in on her vision, and under the golden sky, there were sparkling waves, "Lake? But such a high temperature...... It can't be water. ”

The conical vent in the tail slowly stalled, and the built-in geomagnetic power engine was very effective on a planet with a strong magnetic field, allowing the Explorer to smoothly pull down and descend towards a rocky ground below in a situation where nothing was visible from the outside......

[Countdown to landing: 3...... 2…… 1…… Landing complete. 】

After a slight collision, the black shuttle-shaped ship landed completely on the rocky ground of the magnetic ring.

The hatch opened, and Xinglan stood in the doorway looking at the surface of this unique planet.

Although the robot's body can adapt to most environments, it is too harsh here, so it is better to wear a protective suit.

"Gravity...... It is small and can be jumped easily. Xinglan slowly adapted to the movement on the ground, "The magnetic field interference is very strong. Perhaps thanks to Xiao Cheng's specially strengthened anti-interference ability in order to prevent accidents, otherwise the robot's body would not be able to resist such a strong magnetic field. ”

The magnetic field changes here are comparable to EMP electromagnetic pulse bombs.

"Then, whether it's a natural environment or a work of intelligent creatures, it's time to explore it~" Xinglan smiled softly and took the next step, "Let me take a look." ”
