When Cao Chuan lives a new life, the passage of time becomes faster.

It didn't take long for the year 2075 to come, and if you have a decent memory, you will remember that 2075 was the time point when the advance team entered the Centaur Alpha Frontier.

At this moment, after nearly 20 years of virtual game edification, the members of the advance team have honed their iron will, so that they are numb to many things, and they don't even realize that such a special day has arrived, but they still react quickly under the reminder of the foggy moon.

Everyone woke up, they gathered in the cabin, the starry sky outside completely changed, this strange star system, is a triple star structure composed of 3 stars, most of them are close to the sun, there is no red giant star with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers, and there is no trace of a blue giant star with a diameter of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, such a familiar structure, if they don't go the wrong way, they have arrived at Centaur Alpha.

"Haha, it's still here!" Joe Canal announced. He was very excited to see that the people around him were in good spirits and seemed to have endless energy to face the challenges ahead.

"Miss Misty Moon, do you have an in-depth observation of Centaur Alpha? Can you tell us more about that? ”

"No problem." Foggy Moon's mood has also become a little high at the moment, and she has been awake for a long time, and earlier on, she has already started the preliminary exploration of Centaur Alpha.

She said calmly, "I'm going to talk about the planet of Centaur Alpha.

"It has been confirmed that within the gravitational influence of Centaur Alpha B, there are two planets, Centaur Alpha Ba and Centaur Alpha Bb, the same number as astronomers have observed, but in the specific type of planet. In terms of size, there is a big difference. ”

"Among them, the centaur Alpha Bb, which is 150 astronomical units away from the star and has a diameter of 2,800 kilometers, is extremely cold and remote, and has no atmosphere at all."

"As for the centaur Alpha Ba, it is 0.8 astronomical units from the star and 18,000 kilometers in diameter. There will be about twice the gravity of the Earth and an average scorching temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. ”

"As for the rest, due to the gravitational instability brought about by the special structure of the triad star, there is no asteroid belt found around it for the time being, let alone the accumulated stardust material."

After hearing this, everyone bowed their heads in contemplation, and Qiao He spoke: "Gentlemen, ladies, there is an important choice to be made next. Since we are here, we must choose planetary development, no matter which one it is, the East Galaxy Company will build a city here, large-scale immigration, and continuous investment, as long as our choice is slightly wrong, it may be enlarged to tens of billions in the future. Trillions, causing a waste of money in vain. So you have to be cautious. ”

Such a restriction made everyone's mood heavy, and the team members scanned the information of the two planets, swaying from side to side, unable to make a decision, and because the White Lotus Princess was very fast, it crossed dozens of astronomical units in the blink of an eye. Enter the hinterland of Alpha B, the only centaur with a planet.

And after a long voyage, once they make their choice, there will be no chance of reversal, and there is not much energy left on the spaceship, landing on the surface of the planet. A fully functional airport must be set up first, and after complete maintenance and resupply work, it will be considered to fly again, and this will take at least two years.

"Let's choose this one!" After thinking about it, Joe insisted on choosing the big one, and if they opened up a planet that was not even as good as Pluto, it would make people feel unmotivated.

"I have no opinion." In Wuyue's view, the difference between the two choices will not be too big, they are both terrestrial planets, and the conventional resources are enough for their expenses, in other aspects, the gravitational force is either too big or too small, the temperature is either too high or too low, anyway, they are not suitable planets for human survival, so they give the choice to the members of the advance team, and they don't need to participate in the side.

After a while, the rest of the team members expressed their opinions.

"The time left to think is too short, and in that case, I also chose the bigger one, which looks more interesting."

"Hmm... I don't know what it really feels like to have 2x standard gravity, are we really not going to break bones? Or is the spaceship simply bound by gravity and unable to fly again? Isn't it safer to choose Planet B? ”

"I also think that a big planet can contain more things that we don't know." This time it was Thomas who spoke, and because of his contribution to the discovery of the dark energy tides, he is currently one of the few authorities in the advance team, with a high prestige, and can influence the choices of many people.

"I choose the big one."

"Agreed."

"Yes."

Hearing the statements of the team members below, a simple comparison will know what the result is, Qiao Canal clapped and said: "It seems that everyone tends to choose the big one, okay, notify the base camp of this news, and then get ready, because in 3 days at most, we will be caught by the gravitational pull of the planet and land on the ground, and don't mess around and don't know anything when the time comes." ”

The actual landing process was even faster than they had imagined, so that before everyone was fully prepared, the White Lotus Princess approached the surface of the planet they had commanded as the Hope Star, and it took less than half a day to anchor firmly on the earthy yellow earth of its South Pole.

"Please record, the time is July 22, 2075, and the centaur alpha advance team sent by the East Galaxy Company came to the surface of the Hope Star to officially begin our exploration and development of it."

"There is no doubt that I am not wrong, not only to explore, but also to explore, more than 4 light years from the base camp, everything is up to us, in order for us to have enough means to meet all kinds of crises and provide a home for follow-up support, we must make full use of the local resources on the surface of the planet, build a huge base, and then build a larger city near it."

"Miss Wuyue, the drone has been dispatched, can you report the outside environment?"

"No problem..."The foggy moon made an organized voice, "After calculation, the gravity outside is 1.8 times that of standard gravity, the ambient temperature is 130 degrees Celsius, and the density of the atmosphere is 15% of the standard atmospheric density. ”

"Very good, thanks to Miss Wuyue's assistance, we will walk out of the White Lotus Princess and appreciate the charm of this huge planet for the first time." All of Joe's words were recorded and turned into video files that would be sent back to the base camp as proof that they had come to Centaur Alpha.

At this time, everyone was ready, and as the hatch opened, they took advantage of the fact that the foggy moon was still busy inspecting the unmanned unit, how to adjust it to have a way to adapt to the outside environment, and when they were negligent in supervising them, they walked out in one go.

Unfortunately, they were greeted by a heat wave, and the light protective clothing blocked 80% of the heat, which still made the people inside feel as if they were taking a sauna.

If gravity is added, it almost makes them miserable, and the team members who have completed the first phase of environmental adaptation have to retreat for 10 minutes, only Qiao Canal struggles to support it for two hours, and only when the stellar radiation further strengthens and the surrounding temperature rises to 200 degrees Celsius, it is embarrassing to shrink back.
