There is nothing immobile in the universe,

All the celestial bodies are moving relatively,

During the period of human existence, the stars in close proximity to the solar system are Proxima Centauri, Barnard, and Laland......

But 200 million years ago, because of the relative motion of the stars, the starry sky on the whole earth was a different scene.

Neighboring galaxies are another batch.

200 million years ago:

Rutan is far away from Earth,

And in the case of the Rutans' exploration of space is almost zero,

It is almost impossible to determine the direction of the galaxy of the three civilization signals according to the discoveries of the Rutans.

In addition to the difficulty of determining the location,

Xiaoguang also told Yang Meng a very bad news,

It was the only planet that had determined the signal of civilization, and it seemed to them to be a kind of blue star.

"Blue!"

Hearing this color, Yang Meng asked Xiao Yi to call up the spectral comparison chart at that time.

And after Xiaoguang's identification, it is indeed that color, and it is a very blue color.

And knowing that it was a blue star, Yang Meng now thinks back on it and feels a little incredible:

"There is a civilization in a galaxy of this color!

Even if humanity could determine the location of that galaxy, there must already be a civilization there! ”

"200 million years is enough time for a blue-level star to complete its life cycle!"

The reason why Yang Meng thinks is because human astronomical observation for a long time has found that

Different stars have different levels of fusion because of their different masses.

Massive stars can suppress the resistance of the "helium element", so they can make themselves more "blue".

Therefore, blue stars are often superstars with huge masses.

And the price of increasing is an increase in the rate of nuclear reactions, which also means a decrease in stellar lifetimes.

As a result, massive stars in the universe tend to have very short lifespans.

What's more dangerous is that the "corpses" left behind by the demise of massive stars will not be as peaceful as white dwarfs.

After they die,

Some leave neutron stars as corpses, while others leave black holes as graves

What's more, because the fusion is too intense,

During the cycle of life, a supernova explodes, exploding into a brilliant nebula.

"The Rutan Star People have discovered a civilization in a massive star!"

"What kind of civilization would be born in such a violent and short-lived galaxy?"

Yang Meng was full of curiosity about this,

But it also made him regret that it is very likely that mankind will never find that civilization again.

As for the other two galaxies that are suspected to be signals of civilization,

The interval is even longer,

The Rutan people only observed for a short period of time, and Yang Meng didn't have much hope for those two signals.

And Xiao Guang on the side saw that after Yang Meng heard him talk about the three civilization signals, he had been thinking deeply about something, so he was a little curious:

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's inquiry, Yang Meng told Xiaoguang about the lifespan of stars and the demise of civilization.

After listening to Yang Meng's explanation, Xiaoguang responded after being silent for a few seconds:

"You don't have to worry about the demise of those civilizations, since they have the ability to spread signals into space,

Maybe like you, you already have the ability to leave your own galaxy! ”

Hearing Xiaoguang's comfort, Yang Meng just shook his head gently:

"It's me who is greedy, just discovering one civilization is already amazing, and I want to discover more civilizations!"

"Maybe it's just Planet Rutan B, which is not a suitable planet for human beings to live on, and I just want to make up for it!"

After Yang Meng muttered a few words in his heart,

asked Xiao Yi to sort out the information he had just gotten from Xiaoguang,

When the communication device is fully charged, it transmits information in the direction of the earth.

"Speaking of which, I should be the first pioneer astronaut to discover an extraterrestrial civilization, and I don't know what kind of sensation such news will cause when it is transmitted to Earth!"

Yang Meng glanced at the small light beside him,

Remembering the alien civilization signal that Xiaoguang told him earlier,

He found that there seemed to be a lot of information to be unearthed in the body of this ancient civilization.

……

Soon, the chaotic mood was pressed by Yang Meng in the bottom of his heart.

His attention returned to the main task at hand - the maintenance and repair of the Infinite Vostok.

Although only a part of the cabin was sent,

But even with the help of intelligent machines,

It still takes a certain amount of time to maintain.

Fortunately, Yang Meng, who has left Lutan B's planet, has plenty of time.

While maintaining the spacecraft, they are also waiting for news to be sent back to other planetary resource exploration satellites.

And in the meantime,

The equipment left on the ground was swallowed by the red haze and completely lost contact,

Before losing contact, Yang Meng finally saw the miniature creature that Xiaoguang was also afraid of.

"This is the Red Haze!"

Looking at the last picture transmitted by the ground communication device, Yang Meng showed a look of surprise on his face.

According to previous observations,

He thought that the red mist was a suspended microorganism like a sandstorm.

But upon closer inspection,

The red mist is a sticky thing that spreads on the ground,

It's a bit like a sponge of slime molds in the earth's tropical rainforest.

As for the miniature red particles floating in the air,

It is sprayed into the air by the abnormal protrusions on the fungus blanket.

This state is also similar to the full moon state of the earth, and the polyps that are sprayed on a large scale when the corals of the ocean reproduce.

"Could it be that these red particles are their spores?"

Yang Meng still wants to continue to observe,

But the picture transmitted from the ground here came to an abrupt end.

"The drone was destroyed!"

"It can even attack air equipment! No wonder Hikaru is scared! ”

"It seems that the red particles sprayed by the fungus blanket are not just spores!"

"Speaking of which, this red haze was transformed by the Rutan Star people with a lot of energy and time, and it is normal to have such a wide attack range!"

"That's right! Since the Red Haze is a miniature creature developed by the Rutans to recover energy and resources,

So where does the stuff they recycle go? ”

Thinking of this, he asked Xiaoguang on the side for the answer to this question:

"Why did you ask about the red haze again?" Seeing Yang Meng mention the red haze again, the frequency of the small light flickering faster, as if he showed a surprised emotion,

Although surprised, Xiaoguang immediately answered Yang Meng's question:

"Obviously, the energy and resources it recovers are used for rapid reproduction!"

"I see!"

Receiving such a standard answer, Yang Meng groaned for a moment

It stands to reason that he's already left the planet, and shouldn't have paid attention to the red haze,

But for such a strange microorganism, Yang Meng thought of the task of collecting samples of extraterrestrial creatures.

"Such a creature may be of great help to humanity!"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

However, Yang Meng only said a little to Xiaoguang about the idea of capturing the red haze, and was strongly dissuaded by Xiaoguang.

Under Xiaoguang's persuasion, Yang Meng had to give up the idea of collecting red mist and continue to maintain the spaceship.
