The Boundless Oriental followed the re-planned route and headed towards the target point.

And Yang Meng, who was on the spaceship, began to crack and sort out the four letters.

In the absence of special encryption,

It is not difficult to open the package of these four pieces of information.

The real trouble is the massive amount of data in the four pieces of information, which is extremely energy-consuming to sort out.

For human beings living in the age of virtual networks of consciousness,

It can be a tedious process to watch some outdated news all day long and deal with some highly repetitive technical upgrade data.

But for Yang Meng, who is far away from the solar system, away from human life, and wandering alone in the universe,

This process also happens to relieve the loneliness in his heart.

The process of collating information is not fast,

Four months later, Yang Meng finished sorting out the four pieces of information.

And as he had expected, there was no highly classified information in it,

Nor did I find the secret code hidden in all kinds of news,

Some are just the changes in the earth in the past 17 to 12 years.

and the ground command center, which upgraded some of the technology on the spacecraft based on various information from the pioneer astronauts.

It's a pity that Yang Meng is in a state of braking and deceleration at this time.

For the issue of technological upgrades, only some processing can be done on the equipment inside the spacecraft,

As for the upgrades on the outside of the ship,

It is necessary to wait for the speed of the spacecraft to slow down, or the spacecraft to leave the Nanhe three-star system, and fly at a constant speed, before the conditions for upgrading the external equipment of the spacecraft.

"Although I haven't seen any important confidential information, what seems to have happened to the situation in the human world?"

Since Yang Meng learned five years ago that there have been some crises within mankind and that there has been a marginal war in the solar system,

The situation in the human world can be said to have changed dramatically in the past five years.

The war among mankind began with the encirclement and suppression of the Kuiper Belt Gray Forces,

However, compared with a few decades ago, the rapid situation when the human alliance to eliminate the gray forces in the asteroid belt is different.

The process of exterminating the gray forces of the Kuiper Belt did not go well.

After the gray forces of the asteroid belt were exterminated, this kind of organization representing the dark side of human nature has not disappeared.

Where there is demand, there is supply, and where there is profit, there are profiteers.

With the disappearance of the gray forces in the asteroid belt, the gray forces in the Kuiper belt are gradually rising.

Compared to the gray forces in the asteroid belt, it is extremely difficult to destroy the gray forces in the Kuiper belt

Ordinary humans may not understand the difficulty of exterminating the gray forces of the Kuiper Belt,

But as a pioneer astronaut, Yang Meng knows very well how much of the geographical advantage occupied by the Kuiper Belt Gray Forces is.

The asteroid belt is a 1.5 AU wide ring between Mars and Jupiter.

The asteroid belt is very close to Earth,

It is also very convenient for human beings to send troops to encircle and suppress the asteroid belt.

Plus the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter,

It is possible to break into the asteroid belt from two directions: the Mars base and the Jupiter moon base.

In addition, the gray forces of the asteroid belt have done evil things that are angry and resentful, and the human race has infiltrated its internal organization to a certain extent, and various factors have added up to make the human forces successfully exterminate the gray forces of the asteroid belt.

But the situation with Kuiper is different,

The Kuiper Belt is 25 AU wide beyond Neptune's orbit,

It is not an easy task to find gray forces in such a vast environment,

What's more,

Intersecting the asteroid belt sandwiched between Mars and Jupiter, the Kuiper Belt is surrounded by the larger Oort cloud.

Without the flanking posture of the human alliance, the Kuiper Belt Gray Force can be said to be offensive and defensible.

With the growth of the Kuiper Belt Gray Force, the infringement on human beings is becoming more and more serious.

so that the human alliance has to exterminate the gray potential hidden in the Kuiper belt,,

"But from the information, it can be seen that some internal forces of the human race seem to be not interested in exterminating the gray forces, and even some human forces have private contacts with the gray forces!"

Recalling these contents, Yang Meng seems to have seen some bad things in human history, reflecting the current era.

"That's it! No matter how much humanity develops there, I can't intervene! ”

Yang Meng sighed silently:

"Maybe there is a lack of information, and it has something to do with humanity's war to exterminate the Kuiper Belt Gray Forces!"

"Speaking of which, the message I sent to the Earth before should be six years away before it reaches the Earth!"

"I don't know if the situation within mankind will change after knowing that there is an alien civilization!"

For this kind of thing, Yang Meng is not very sure in his heart, this aspect of human internal affairs is not what he is good at.

He just hopes that under the pressure of alien civilizations, mankind can develop for the better.

"Perhaps, it would be a good thing to bring Xiaoguang back......"

Thinking of Xiaoguang, Yang Meng looked aside,

In the corner of the cabin, there is a cone-shaped device,

The upper half of this conical device has been removed, leaving a flat circular section,

And the small light is now in the center of this circular plane, in a faint, and luminous state.

Accustomed to the state of a small light flashing and flashing,

At this time, it is seen that the small light maintains a constant luminosity,

Yang Meng always had an illusion similar to that of a human who stopped breathing.

Previously, through the high-speed camera, it was possible to observe that there were some faint flickering of small lights.

But as the spacecraft approached Nanhesan, it was impossible to observe the flickering state of the small light with a high-speed camera.

Yang Meng was a little worried about whether something was wrong with Xiaoguang,

But after thinking of the way to obtain small light energy, this kind of doubt was also left behind him.

……

Time continues to pass,

As the speed of the ship decreases further,

The ship's braking deceleration also began to increase.

Six months after Yang Meng broke into the three gravitational disturbance areas of the Nanhe River,

He saw through the optical astronomical telescope the object he was going to.

However, when he saw the state of the planet through optical means, Yang Meng had a surprised look on his face:

"There is such a clear state of discrete light and fog on the outside!"

"In other words, this celestial body has an extremely thick atmosphere!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Meng felt a little incredible,

The distance of the planet from the gravitational center of Nanhe III is close to 2,000 astronomical units.

In such a position, the heat from Nanhe San can already be ignored,

Although the gravitational disturbance excites by the binary star system is far greater than that of the solar system,

But the heat emitted by its star is not as strong as the gravitational perturbation.

Of the two planets of Nanhe III,

Only Nanhe-3A, as the main sequence star, is carrying out fusion reactions, and it is steadily radiating energy outward.

As a stellar corpse, Nanhe 3B, although it still maintains a high residual temperature,

However, the spatial scale that this residual temperature can radiate is very limited.

Moreover, this white dwarf star will also intercept the solar wind released by Nanhe-3A, and to a certain extent, interfere with the thermal radiation process of Nanhe-3A.

In this case, the location of 1800 astronomical units from the South River can be said to be an extremely cold area.

In such an environment, it is difficult for any celestial body to form a thick atmosphere,

Take the solar system as an example,

Pluto, once the ninth largest planet, has an average distance of 39 AU from the Sun.

At such a long distance, the average surface temperature of Pluto dropped to minus 229 degrees.

Such a temperature, in the standard atmospheric pressure environment of the earth, is already lower than the natural freezing point of oxygen,

In other words, in such an environment, the natural liquefaction process of oxygen will be directly skipped, and the liquefied oxygen will freeze.

Although there is no standard atmospheric pressure environment on Pluto,

But it is still possible that oxygen will increase with the thickness of Pluto's ice rock formations.

Solidified in the interior of Pluto in a solid form.

It is precisely because of such conditions that in the human world, liquefied gases that can only be seen in complex air compression preparation,

For those celestial bodies that are far away from the heat source of the stars,

The gases that cannot be seen or touched on the earth are often easily found in the layers of such celestial bodies in a solid liquid state that is visible to humans.

If the celestial body is located farther away from the star and in a colder region,

It is extremely difficult to keep the gas molecules common on Earth in a state of clouds.

But the existence of clouds and fog is not impossible,

"In other words, there is a heat source inside this celestial body!"

Looking at the dim planet in the lens, Yang Meng immediately thought of this possibility,

Because it's too far away from Nanhesan,

The light reflected by this star was extremely weak, and Yang Meng could not see the specific appearance of this planet at this time.

But the appearance of the atmosphere brought a surprise to Yang Meng.

An active planet is much less difficult to mine than those glacial bodies.

For example, the previous Ice Medisos had extremely thick ice formations, which needed to be blasted open by means of blasting to see the rock formations in the depths.

And with this experience of blowing up satellites,

When he planned to go to Nanhe III, he planned to replicate the mining process of Ice Medisa.

blasted near Nanhesan, but he didn't expect that he might have encountered a planet with a heat source now.

His plan needs to be changed a bit.

However, compared to the problems caused by navigation changes,

The process of changing the mining plan is not cumbersome, and the deposits hidden in the planet's stratum, no matter what the environment, will have to be blasted.

The blasting material that was prepared before was not wasted.

"I don't know what the situation is on this planet, whether there is life on it, or even the existence of civilization!"

Looking at the unknown planet in the lens, Yang Meng secretly thought about something in his heart,

It is already an extremely lucky thing to meet the Rutanxing civilization,

And in such an extreme environment, the odds of encountering another civilization are much lower than those of Rutan.

"I shouldn't have been so lucky!"

……

Yang Meng's spaceship continued to fly forward, and as his spaceship approached Nanhesan,

The surroundings are not empty cosmic environment,

The spacecraft began to encounter occasionally, some areas of gaseous dust, debris particles, and also some comet-sized, small objects.

The appearance of these celestial bodies also indicates that the spacecraft is beginning to enter a stellar region of matter.

And as Yang Meng got closer to the Nanhe Sanxing system, he also detected a galaxy structure that he had never seen before:

"The material distribution of the binary star system is in this state!"

According to what Yang Meng saw and heard,

Whether it is the solar system or the Rutan galaxy, the structure of a single star system has a certain similarity.

A star can see different things from far to near,

Light-years away, the first thing that can be detected is the light waves emitted by the star.

As you get closer to the star, the light wave radiation becomes more and more obvious.

If you get any closer, you will enter the gravitational perturbation range of the star.

At first, the induced turbulence was faint, but as the star got closer, the gravitational pull began to increase.

Stars can already adsorb dust particles from the universe around them, forming an extremely wide range of dust belts.

Such an area is the Oort cloud of the solar system.

In this region, gravity is not yet able to stably bind massive objects.

However, there are some celestial bodies with large masses that can still pass through the extremely elliptical state of ellipse, that is, orbits with great eccentricity.

Jumping sideways between escaping the gravitational constraints of the star and falling into the interior of the star,

This type of celestial body is the comet observed by humans.

After getting closer to the star,

The gravitational pull of the star is beginning to become more pronounced, and it is already possible to restrain some of the smaller globular objects and make them rotate around them steadily.

Such a small region of celestial bodies is the Kuiper Belt of the solar system.

If you are getting closer to the star,

This leads to a stable planetary region with massive planets orbiting stars.

This structure is a more common structure for a galaxy.

But in Nanhe No. 3, such a structure is not obvious,

As stars with two gravitational points, although they move binarily around a common center of gravity,

However, its own strong gravitational perturbation has become an unstable factor for a galaxy to a certain extent.

When Yang Meng went to the target planet,

and observed this phenomenon,

The material distribution of Nanhe-3 is not like that of the solar system, which is simply divided into several standard nested ring regions according to the gravitational perturbation range.

The material region of Nanhe-3 is based on the gravitational center common to two massive celestial bodies, and presents a certain vortex shape.

This swirl-shaped, somewhat similar to the spiral arm system of the Milky Way,

Most of the material and celestial bodies of the galaxy are concentrated on the spiral arms,

And outside the spiral arm, there is a relatively empty area,

It's just that compared with the Milky Way, which is rich in matter, because there are fewer celestial bodies, the condensation state of the three spiral arms of Nanhe is not obvious.

And compared to the Milky Way, which has several spiral arms, Nanhe-3 only has two less obvious spiral arms.

And at this time, Yang Meng also noticed,

The celestial body he was going to was at the end of the three spiral arms of the Nanhe. That unknown planet seems to have been thrown out by the Nanhe three-star system.

"Judging from the new detection data, I'm afraid the end of this planet is not very good, if there is a civilization on it, what a desperate world it will be!"
