Chapter 1072: The Great Magellanic Nebula
readx;
Spectacular! It can only be described as spectacular!
The Magellanic Nebula is definitely the largest nebula ever explored and seen up close, with a diameter of 70 million light-years! The nebula, in its own right, is a small galaxy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is one-twentieth the diameter of the Milky Way!
Moreover, the Magellanic Cloud, because it is torn by the gravitational pull of the Milky Way, is in the shape of a narrow rod. The length and width are nearly 2:1.
But that's not the point, the point is that the Magellanic Nebula is just too big, or it is already a galaxy that can't be seen at a glance, surrounded only by a colorful world.
Up close, the Magellan Nebula is no longer white, but colored. From the central rosy red, to dark red, to yellow, yellow-green, emerald green, dark green, dark blue, and finally to the pitch-black cosmic space.
It's more like a super rainbow ring, and it's also like a giant blooming space flower.
And on this space flower, dotted with red, white, blue, and so on, it is a star.
Occasionally, you can see rays of light, straight through the nebula, leaving their own footsteps in space; It's a ray that doesn't know where it came from. Of course, everyone understands that such rays are often more dangerous.
If some neutron star rays can still penetrate the ship's defenses. Neutron star rays are complex, and in addition to electrons, they may also carry protons, electromagnetic fields, and gamma rays, which have not been thoroughly studied by humans.
"According to the plan.
First, launch probes, especially unmanned spacecraft, for extensive exploration.
Second, receive and analyze all the signals that can be received to see if there is already intelligent life here.
Third, do a good job of general mobilization for war!
At last. Explore a place like a pearl star field and get ready to settle down. ”
"Yes!"
This is not just a migratory party, but a paramilitary organization. In this operation, which involves the safety of 500 billion people, human exploration, and even the future of Chinese civilization, there is no room for mistakes.
Exploring the Magellanic Nebula is an adventure! It's not just the huge distance in space, it's other intelligent life.
The Magellan Nebula is so huge. It has been around for at least seven or eight billion years, at least seven or eight billion years; For such a long time, even if it is a life born by itself, it is possible that it has entered the sequence of powerful interstellar civilizations. Even, there may be other civilizations migrating over.
In a word, there is a high probability that new civilizations will be found here, and there is a certain possibility of encountering powerful civilizations.
One by one, unmanned spaceships, in groups of several begin to explore the surrounding starry sky. These ships have different functions. But when combined, it makes a very powerful combination. Moreover, these unmanned spacecraft themselves have strong autonomous capabilities, which can be judged according to the actual situation, attack, launch probes, etc.
Chinese civilization still opposes the research of fully intelligent machinery; But the difference between semi-intelligence and full intelligence is not in intelligence, but emotionally.
The development of science and technology is so powerful, once some definitions and so on. It must also be revised and improved with the times.
In space, the fleet began to deform. transport spaceships, etc. It began to move back, while the warships began to spread out in groups of three or two, in groups of dozens, and began to be on alert.
Brush...... In any case, the current speed of the fleet is still 0.8 times the speed of light. Advance fast in space.
The tense atmosphere between the state and the military, as well as various announcements, have made ordinary people nervous as well. But when it came to the end, everyone did not shout, but prepared silently. When the information about the trip to the Magellan Nebula was made public. The state is already beginning to silently cultivate the fighting mentality of the people.
In the space age, if you want to expand, you have to be prepared for collisions. And as long as a civilization develops, it will inevitably expand and expand! Unless, willing to fall.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye. Within a radius of 500 light, exploration has been completed, and humanity is temporarily sure that it is safe. During this period, some signals were received, but because they were too far away, the signals were already very weak.
Long Kaiyuan led his scientists to make a report: "These signals are not very strong, and coupled with the interference of the Magellanic Cloud, they are already very weak. But we can still draw one conclusion:
There is life, and there is intelligent life. But for the time being, they are using electromagnetic wave signals; This means that the location of this life is about 1,000 light-years away. Perhaps, we can find a good place to survive in this direction.
In addition, there is a range of 7,000 light years here, even if it is the core, that is, where the stars are dense, there is also a range of 5,000 light years, and what we are exploring is only a corner. Please be careful, everyone. ”
"I'll lead an expedition and go to the right front to explore." Red Star was the first to stand up, "We've slept for so many years, it's time for the event to move!" ”
"Good! In any case, remember to come back safely. Zhang Chengye nodded.
"Don't worry, in fact, there are just so many things and laws in the universe. As long as you can find and master it, it's much easier. Then the light flickered, and the red star was gone. It turned out that this conference room turned out to be virtual.
"I'm going to explore the one on the left. The estimated detection time is 5 years, and the exploration range is 500 light years. Mu Zili also stood up.
"Be careful. We need every force now. Zhang Chengye is still calm. In other words, there are no problems now. It's just that after seeing the vast starry sky, people inevitably have to be in awe of the world.
"Ha, Your Majesty, rest assured. The ship is not guaranteed, but I promise that no one will be missing! Mu Zili's posture was arrogant and confident. As the top 10 elite among trillions of adventurers, there is such self-confidence.
"I'm going to explore the forefront." Li Ziyu also stood up, "Don't dare to say anything else, in five years, bring back a perfect star map!" ”
"It's been a good trip."
"Thank you. When we get back, we celebrate. "Flashing light?
