In the more than two years since the establishment of the Star Gate, the military has not found any signs of life in the Orion Nebula, but I didn't expect that there was just a little sign of it, and it was such a chaotic situation.

The blue wandering planet was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for it to break away from the range of the cloud pit and disappear completely, Ye Fei struggled in his heart, gritted his teeth and ordered the chameleon to follow.

Going deep into the nebula is never a good errand, but the military orders are like a mountain, and the personnel who manipulate the chameleon have to grit their teeth and carry out the order, no matter how unwilling they are.

Fortunately, Ye Fei did not let them die, and asked the chameleon not to get close to the wandering planet, as long as he followed the planet and observed it carefully. In addition, if the cavern in the nebula that has been waded out by wandering planets shows signs of healing, it can also be withdrawn immediately.

With these two explanations, several people had confidence when they landed, and the invisible streamer on the surface of the reconnaissance ship flashed and quickly flew into the huge cloud cave.

The enemy did not seem to have the intention of attacking again, but dragging the stargate was not a task that could be completed in a moment and a half, and the two Aquila-class battleships did not dare to move and kept their posts.

It didn't take long for the camouflage reconnaissance ship to send back a large amount of observation data, and Ye Fei immediately sent all the data back to the mainland, waiting for the detailed analysis of the mainland.

Everything seems to have been fully restored, but in reality it has changed dramatically.

Although there has been no detailed exploration of the nebula in the past two years, the Anthropocene community generally believes that the environment in the nebula is too harsh and does not have the conditions for the birth of life, and it can only provide mineral resources for the mainland, not a habitable planet.

It is precisely such a point of view. The call to shelve the Orion Star Gate is endless.

The emergence of wandering planets has brought all opposition to an abrupt halt, and countless experts and scholars have begun to analyze how life can be generated in the nebula from their own academic perspectives, but no matter how you reason, the possibility of life in the nebula is still close to zero.

There is also a marketable argument in various versions of speculation, that is, it is possible to directly evolve cosmic life within the nebula, unlike previous theories, which must go through a long period of planetary evolution before they can finally enter the universe.

But this grandstanding soon faded, and humanity had found a tone in the comets on the outer reaches of the solar system, confirming that there were indeed primitive proteins or simple microorganisms. But it's just a simple protein. The harsh environment has left these little creatures in a completely static state, with no possibility of evolution or any other development.

In other words, primitive life may have arisen in the universe, but it is absolutely impossible to develop and develop in the harsh space. The hotbed of the evolution of life can only be planets!

According to chameleon observations. The native named the wandering planet the Blue Light Star. It was also confirmed that the ships that attacked the stargate were creatures, tentatively named the Blue Light Fish.

It is so named because of the data showing. This creature has similar appearances and habits to fish, and what is even more rare is that the blue light fish is not a real cosmic creature, but a transitional creature between a planetary creature and a cosmic creature!

Although they can leave the home star for a short time, they must return to the home star every once in a while, otherwise they will die in outer space, and what is more interesting to local experts and scholars is that the temperature on the blue star is about minus 190 to minus 170, it is said that the surface of such a planet should be an absolutely frozen and cold place, but the surface of this planet has a huge water system, and the rivers, lakes and seas flow with liquids composed of methane and other organic components!

Although Ye Fei and his fleet did not capture any blue light fish alive, the results of telemetry through various methods showed that the body temperature of blue light fish was minus 172 degrees, and there were a large number of alkanes in their bodies!

No wonder the explosion of the blue light fish after being hit by the light was so violent, and there was no trace of it after the explosion!

This discovery once again detonated the interest of the whole world in the blue light star, because the environment on the blue light star is too similar to Titan, and there have always been people who believe that the environment of Titan can give birth to life forms completely different from humans, but so far, no signs of life have been found on Titan.

I didn't expect that in the distant Orion Nebula, there is such a wandering planet!

This discovery has changed the division of human biological species, life on Earth, creatures on the giant planet and even exoskeleton people can be classified as normal temperature life, and the blue light fish is currently the only low-temperature life!

Local biologists are looking forward to the discovery of other low-temperature life on the blue light star and write a complete series of low-temperature biological genealogies, but after several days of chameleon observation, no other creatures other than the blue light fish were found on the blue light star, but it was confirmed that there were only blue light fish on the planet.

Interestingly, the blue light star is not a planet in the traditional sense, and the blue light on the surface of this planet is not reflected by stars or other stars, but by the planet's own light!

The blue light penetrates through the crystallized surface of the planet's surface, and it looks like a huge sapphire!

A planet that can emit light on its own, this discovery detonated the Anthropocene realm for the third time, and countless people racked their brains for it, but they couldn't guess what was under the thick crystallized surface of the blue star.

The most reliable conjecture comes from the American astronomer Robert's "radiation theory". The main argument is that a wandering planet such as a blue star does not receive any stellar light, and its surface temperature should be as low as the cosmic background temperature. But observational data apparently disprove this inference.

He believes that the light of the blue star comes from radioactive materials deep in the earth, and a large amount of radioactive materials plays a role in heating the planet and controlling the surface temperature of the blue star.

And the appearance of the blue light fish may also be directly related to the light inside the planet!

There is no evidence to support the radiation theory, because the military could not have allowed the Yankees to enter the Orion Nebula through the stargate on their own warships, but this theory has been enthusiastically pursued by the media, and there is a tendency to disprove the facts.

Of course, since many foreign scholars' requests to pass through Stargate were rejected by the military. All the research results are from the Chinese side's open sources, so in addition to all kinds of rambling conjectures, it is suspected that this is a farce directed by the Chinese military, and there are many people who believe that the blue light star exists at all.

According to the current direction and speed of the blue star, this planet should have flown into the Orion Nebula 40,000 to 45,000 years ago, and has been slowly wandering in the nebula.

More than two-thirds of the mass of the planet is slowly accumulated after entering the nebula and gradually absorbing the nebula material, that is, the blue star should be just a dwarf asteroid or even an asteroid before entering the nebula. Moreover, it is very likely that the alkane water system on the planet was formed slowly after entering the nebula. The current appearance is simply not what it is.

It is also very likely that the blue light inside the planet was formed during the flight within the nebula, but no one can still answer how it was formed - there is no question at all about what material the surface of the blue light star is made of, but what kind of rays can make the entire planet blue? Furthermore, it is not certain whether the current appearance of the blue light star is due to the formation of rays.

There have also been some results in research on blue light fish. This strange creature has to stay on the planet most of the time. The planetary attributes on the body are far more than the cosmic attributes. Moreover, the time to enter the nebula is longer, and the time to enter the universe is extremely limited.

Researchers still don't know which material in the nebula would allow the blue fish to fly away from the planet.

Because the number of blue fish is not as large as previously thought. China has officially included the blue light fish in the list of treasured cosmic creatures for protection - anyway, the blue light fish cannot do without the blue light star, and when they truly evolve into cosmic creatures, it will take tens of thousands of years.

Besides, in addition to the Chinese warships, the warships of other countries have no chance to fly to more than 1,500 light years only in the year of the monkey.

When the blue light fish really threatens humans, as long as a few high-yield nuclear bombs are thrown on the blue light star to completely destroy the planetary environment, all the blue light fish can be wiped out once and for all!

In any case, the appearance of the blue star has rewritten many inherent concepts of human beings, and at the same time, it has also provoked another round of human exploration of the climax of space.

For a time, the use of the term "Cosmos Age" has been rising. The term apparently comes from the conceptual shift of the "Age of Discovery". Highly incendiary slogans such as "conquer the sea of stars" and "crisscross the universe" also filled the media, as if overnight, going to the universe has become the only means to make achievements.

It's a pity that the price of faster-than-light spaceships is too high, and they can only sigh without a deep foundation, and only a very small number of capital families really have the strength to join the space development club, and even those backward third-rate small countries do not have this ability.

The so-called era of cosmonautics is destined to be an aristocratic game that only a very few people can afford, ordinary people can only move a small bench to sit down and watch the excitement, even if they try to participate in it, they are just a cannon fodder pawn, and they are likely to achieve nothing in a few decades, and they may disappear into the vast universe silently one day, and they will never find any news again.

The chameleon followed the blue star for more than a week before the engineering ship sent the artificial satellite to the blue star, and more than a dozen artificial satellites carrying resonance communication equipment disguised themselves as ice cubes and dropped them into the sky above the blue light star to continue monitoring the planet in place of the camouflaged reconnaissance ship.

The chameleon was completed and withdrew to the stargate to join the Aquila.

The appearance of the blue star gave Wu Han enough reason to explore the nebula's funds, and he has been working hard for it all this time, but the argument of shelving the star gate still prevails, and the main problem is that the exploration of the nebula is completely a plan to make ends meet, and there is no actual benefit at all, so it has been strongly opposed.

The final result was not ideal, Wu Han only managed to obtain a very small amount of funds, and this little money was only approved to take care of the face of his defense minister, and the possibility of exploring the nebula with a large number of conventional vehicles was delayed indefinitely.

However, for Wu Han himself, he was not willing to delay the exploration of the plan, but fortunately, Ye Fei gave him another choice earlier, and Minister Wu had no choice but to retreat.

Thankfully, the approved funds were sufficient to purchase a dozen Repulsion Shield systems.

However, the locally purchased Repulsion Shield system will not be delivered to Stargate for two months at the earliest, in order to start exploring operations as soon as possible. Wu Han ordered Ye Fei to temporarily remove the Repulsive Shield of Orion Fortress and mount it on the Aquila, so as not to waste two months of precious time.

Ye Fei was reluctant to take over the big trouble of exploring the nebula, but Wu Han handed over the task to him, and he couldn't afford to refuse.

After a few days of transformation, after installing the Repulsion Shield on the Aquila, Ye Fei commanded the battleship to drill into the cloud well that still had no obvious change, the battleship was submerged in the well, the front was a hazy bottom of the well, the tail was a magnificent nebula, and the four sides were full of foggy clouds. At first, it was bright and colorful. But as the battleship slowly flew to the bottom of the cave, the color of the nearby clouds slowly faded a lot.

The cloud well resembles a huge shaft on the surface of the nebula, and at the bottom of the well is a huge cloud hole with an astonishing diameter, and on one side of the cloud hole is a blue star that has just flown out not far away. On the other side, it's a little deeper.

The direction of flight of the blue star is a straight line. Therefore, the cloud cave is a straight passage to the depths of the nebula.

The crash manipulates the optical system to align with the cloud hole. Some light could still be seen in the vicinity of the battleship, but after zooming in several times, the image in the depths of the cloud cave was only dark. There is not the slightest image in sight.

"Report, no anomalies found in the optical system!" Che Qi made a comprehensive observation of various light waves such as visible light and infrared ultraviolet X-rays, and did not find any celestial objects blocking the cloud cave.

"Jiang Xue, are you sure?" Ye Fei asked cautiously.

Although the diameter of the cloud cave is large, but for a battleship flying faster than the speed of light, it will drill into the vast clouds in seconds, if it can't be in the right direction, it is very likely to lose its way halfway - if it is outside the nebula, the direction can also be determined according to the flight data, but the superimposed clouds have a great impact on the speed of the battleship, whether this method can be used in the nebula to position, it is necessary to conduct relevant experiments to obtain sufficient data.

"There should be no problem!" Jiang Xue didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, and her answer was ambiguous.

Ye Fei said helplessly: "For the sake of safety, every time you fly, stop and correct the direction, and then decide whether to continue to fly forward." ”

"Understood!" Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and after carefully correcting the direction, he steered the battleship into a faster-than-light state.

At the speed of the Aquila, it would not take even five days to fly over a light-year, and it would only take eleven hours to fly at 0.1 light-year, even if the direction deviated, it would not be too bad.

The Aquila entered a faster-than-light state in a colorful light, but Jiang Xue did not stop working, but made further corrections to the direction of progress according to the image in front of the battleship, until the direction of progress was located on the central axis of the passage, and then stopped busy and whispered to himself: "It should be almost now." ”

Scissors felt sorry for his wife, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, I can't see anything in this foggy patch, what can we find?" ”

"I don't know what to say." Ye Fei said honestly, "Is exploring the nebula something that our warship can accomplish?" It's just a situation, let's be a start, and we'll go back in a few days. ”

Sixteen light-years in diameter, how big should it be? It's easy to fly in the nebula, but it's an impossible task to check such a large nebula.

"What if I don't find anything at all?" Scissors asked again.

"Same." Ye Fei replied, "Let's fly casually, it's normal if we don't find it, it's strange to find it." ”

"Hey, that's good." The scissors look comfortable.

"What? Haven't you started to feel sorry for your wife? Ye Fei laughed and teased, and everyone immediately began to coax.

The battle-hardened scissors didn't care, and cheekily admitted: "That's, look at you bachelors, the more you coax, the more you can't find a wife!" ”

No one in the army is superstitious, but this sentence is like some magic, and it suddenly gags everyone's mouth.

Just kidding, the ship has long been changed with blood, and now half of the people on the ship are women, and everyone is holding back their strength to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law to marry home, who is willing to collide with such a vicious curse by himself?

Since the Celestial Army changed the ratio of men and women on the battleship, the original monotonous life on the battleship has been fundamentally improved, and both officers and men like to change into civilian clothes after work and go to the activity area of the ship to meet like-minded people of the opposite sex - solving personal problems is not a political marriage, so most officers and soldiers are reluctant to bring things such as military ranks and positions into their personal emotional life, and only a very small number of people with strong vanity will wear military uniforms to enter the venue.

However, there is never a shortage of power in this world, and the people who choose them are basically the same vain guys, and they are also the right ones.

Although the ratio of men and women reaches one to one, but the blind date is not a breeding, it is impossible to nail is a rivet is a rivet is not bad all matched, and only a very few people really find the other half. In order to solve the personal problems of the fighters as much as possible, the military conducts an exchange of personnel between warships every once in a while.

Fighters in non-critical positions can rotate to another ship if they don't find their target. Officers and men in key positions do not need to be in a hurry, and personnel from other ships will also move over. This allows you to increase your options and avoid other problems that arise when you have too few goals.

Eleven hours wasn't a long time, but the wait was much longer than the real time passed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the battleship was out of the faster-than-light state at the exact time and completed the first stage of its flight. After a short period of observation and trimming, the battleship immediately entered the second stage of the flight. (To be continued......)
