With Xiao Yin's intelligence, as well as the obstacle avoidance system on the spaceship,

When encountering such a galaxy, the artificial intelligence on the spaceship is fully capable and operates the spacecraft to go around.

There is no need to wake him up, but in accordance with the "Aerospace Deep Space Navigation Specifications",

When the spacecraft encounters such a large celestial body, the pilot must perform evasion maneuvers in a conscious state.

Although disturbed to a dormant state, Yang Meng honestly carried out the predetermined prescription given by the earth.

"Xiao Yin, prepare the probe, wait until the predetermined orbit, release the probe!"

"Understood!"

After Yang Meng gave instructions to Xiao Yin,

glanced at Xiaoguang, there were no stars around the spaceship at this time, and the light on Xiaoguang's body was extremely weak, and his body was not flickering.

"It seems that Xiaoguang is still dormant!"

After confirming the status of Hikaru Ko,

Yang Meng gently moved his limbs and confirmed the state of his limbs.

pressed the button on the side, untied the shackles on his body,

Then his right hand gently supported the cabin,

The whole body slowly floated away from the sleeping pod.

At this time, the environment in the cabin completely reflected his eyes,

The lights in the cabin are not yet fully lit.

In order to avoid irritating the optic nervous system, which is still fully recovered, the light turns on very slowly.

And Yang Meng just glanced at the environment in the cabin, and looked at the time displayed on the control panel on the side.

Staring at the years, months and days above,

For the galaxy he was going to encounter next, he left it behind,

At this point, an extremely important event for him may have happened.

He silently calculated the time that had passed since he left Rutan,

"Earth's reply should have arrived!"

Since he left the Rutan system and went to Nanhe III to now,

Calculated over a period of time, it has been more than 27 years.

On such a time scale, the message he sent from the Rutan galaxy has reached Earth,

And the response from Earth should reach him too.

Thinking of this, his heart beat uncontrollably faster,

"I don't know what kind of sensation the emergence of alien civilization will cause in human civilization?"

The discovery of extraterrestrial civilizations is one of the most important tasks in the entire pioneer space program,

Mankind has long been looking forward to coming into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.

In 2017 the Meti Iional Astronomical Society organized, through the Norwegian High Power Radio Signaling Device,

He broadcast the location of the Earth to Rutan, which is 12.36 light-years away, and marked it with the idea of welcoming aliens as guests.

At that time, mankind was very eager to encounter extraterrestrial civilizations.

Until now,

Humanity has been able to get out of the solar system and explore the surrounding galaxies,

Although some planets with organic life have been discovered, no trace of an extraterrestrial civilization has been found.

As the first person to come into contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, Yang Meng will inevitably be written into the history books of mankind.

And to transmit the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations back to Earth, the mission he has carried will also be completed.

As Yang Meng, who has aspired to become an astronaut since he was a child and explores unknown star fields for mankind,

This is the realization of the value of his life.

Because of this, the next flight instructions were handed over to Xiao Yin.

Yang Meng found the data package sent by the earth during this time,

"Twenty-seven packets in total, and this time it's not one less!"

Seeing that in the past twenty-seven years, every piece of data has come to him,

Yang Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief,

The arrival of periodic communications indicates that the relay satellite placed on the Rutan satellite,

And during his dormancy, the communication satellites released by Xiao Yin outside the Nanhe Samsung system are still operating normally.

"And which one is the reply from Earth?"

In the past, when he woke up from cryohy, he would check the packets in order.

But this time he skipped the packets.

Directly found the data package 25 years after leaving Rutan Star,

According to the distance between Rutan Star and the solar system, a piece of information from Rutan Star to the Solar System, and then from the Solar System to Rutan Star, the communication time for a round trip is at least 24.72 years.

Counting the loss of various signals, it is necessary to look at the reply from the earth in the packet 25 years later.

Thinking of these, Yang Meng directly looked at the last two packets,

However, when he saw that on these two packets, only normal encryption methods were used, and no special encryption methods were used, Yang Meng frowned slightly:

"Could it be that the Earth side has made public the information about the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations?"

"But in that case, the earth side should use special encryption methods!"

He was a little puzzled:

"Open it and look at it, and you'll understand!"

As an artificial intelligence, Xiao Yin does not have the permission to unpack,

Therefore, if you want to unpack, you can only use some manual methods.

Fortunately, Yang Meng is already very proficient in these methods.

Although the encryption on these two packets has been upgraded in the past 25 years,

But this still did not stump Yang Meng, and soon the first 26-year data packet was unraveled.

Yang Meng immediately opened the data directory list and viewed it:

"Nope!"

After browsing the catalog, Yang Meng found that the earth did not mention anything about extraterrestrial civilizations.

"Is it next!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng opened the twenty-seventh year data package, which is the latest data package,

And after spending a moment browsing the contents of the directory,

There is still no information about any alien civilization, which makes Yang Meng have some strange thoughts,

"How so!"

At this time, the environment in the cabin has lit up,

Yang Meng floated to the porthole,

Looking at the gorgeous beauty of the Milky Way, slowly calm down,

And Yang Meng, who had regained his composure, immediately thought of one thing, and his heart moved:

"Wait, if this information is transmitted by the relay satellite, it seems that the reply from the earth side will not be able to reach yet!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng's eyes lit up,

The distance between the Rutan star and the Nanhe star system is more than 1 light year,

And now he is far away from the Nanhe three-star system, and has been sailing in the universe for 15 years.

Periodic information arriving from the Earth,

After arriving at Lutan, it will take more than a year to reach the Nanhe three-star system through the relay satellite.

And the galaxy of periodic communication is going to catch up with his spacecraft from the South River Samsung system,

During the whole process, the time period for him to receive a reply from the ground may have been more than 27 years.

"The information on the ground doesn't seem to have arrived yet, it seems to be a false alarm!"

Just when Yang Meng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and was ready to continue to check the remaining communication content,

A thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly something came to mind, and he said secretly:

"That's not right!"

At this time, Yang Meng hurriedly communicated with Xiao Yin and confirmed one thing with her:

"Didn't I hear from Earth from the communication anchor I set up?"

"Not yet!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's answer, Yang Meng's face changed slightly,

When he left Nanhe San, Yang Meng arranged two sets of communication squares.

One is the traditional relay communication method.

From Rutan Star to Nanhe San, relay the earth's communications,

However, this will undoubtedly increase the communication cycle.

This requires a different kind of communication.

Nanhe-san is 11.46 light-years away from Earth, which is much closer than the 12.36 light-years of Rutan.

If the signal is relayed from the Rutan star,

It's completely a kind of detour that seeks the near and far,

Therefore, when Yang Meng left Lutanxing and decided to fly to Nanhesan,

and informed the earth of his next course,

And in a reply to Earth 25 years ago, he informed his voyage plan like this:

"Because the resources of the Rutan System are expensive, I will go to Nanhe San to find resources!"

"But I know that Nanhesan, as a star system that has entered the end of its life, is very dangerous, so I can't stay there for a long time, and I expect to leave Nanhe's three-star system soon and return directly to Earth."

However, after learning that the astronauts who went to the Ross 128 system were missing,

After leaving the Nanhe three-star system, if conditions permit, you may consider going to the Ross 128 system......"

Yang Meng recalled the original letter sent to the earth,

At that time, he was affected by the light and was in a hurry to return to Earth,

But Xiaoguang did not affect the normal moral level he had as a human being.

Therefore, at that time, he did not, so categorically reject the suggestion of the Earth side that he would go to the Ross 128 system.

And according to this navigational method,

Yang Meng hopes that the earth can send data packets in the channel in front of him, according to a certain time difference.

He will place in those positions, communication anchor devices,

After all, the Ross 128 galaxy is closer to Earth than the Nanhe Samsung system, only 10.8 light-years away, which is shorter than the communication period with Rutan

If it is on the Earth side, according to the time difference, it will send a data packet directly to the anchorage area behind the channel where the spacecraft has traveled.

The communication cycle with the earth can reduce the communication time difference of nearly three years.

"Although the anchor plan was perfected when I was preparing to leave Nanhesan!"

"It was only 15 years now!"

"But I'm sure the ground command center should make some anticipatory moves!"

Yang Meng still trusts the aerospace agency of his forces, especially in the management of expectations.

At that time, various forces on the earth, because of the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion, issued various exaggerated declarations in the aerospace industry.

And only the forces he is in, who do not issue exaggerated plans at will,

Once a plan is announced, it can be completed on time.

Even under the influence of controlled nuclear fusion technology, his space agency has always been in a state of steady expectation management......

And he told the ground twenty-five years ago that he was going to Nanhesan,

It took 12 years for that message to reach Earth from Rutan,

Those aerospace engineers on the ground also saw it very clearly,

During these twelve years,

Yang Meng had already left Lu Tanxing and went to Nanhesan,

has even left from the Nanhe three-star system to the next destination,

Although the ground command center at that time may not be able to know,

Yang Meng's next course is to return to Earth, or the Ross 128 galaxy ahead,

But at the very least, the communication information can be sent to the Nanhe Samsung system, which is closer to the earth, and the relay communication device there will relay the information to him.

"If the command center on the ground is still the command center I know!"

"After learning that I have encountered an alien civilization and brought it to the spacecraft, I will inevitably summon the space orbit engineer to calculate my route after leaving Nanhe San!"

"The ground will simulate and calculate the orbit starting datum based on the different durations of my stay in Nanhe-3, and try to send discrete information with large discrete values on the two routes of Nanhe-3 and the Earth and the Ross 128 galaxy!"

"If you use a large device on the ground, there will be a large broadcast area!"

Due to the limitation of the size, the communication device on Yang Meng's spacecraft can only constrain the communication surface to a very narrow communication surface.

However, even so, when the beam signal of the constrained form flies over a distance of 12 light years, there will still be some discrete phenomena.

If such a cluster signal is aimed at the earth, the discrete range emitted by the signal can cover the entire earth.

Astronomy enthusiasts on Earth can also use this to determine Yang Meng's location.

If the beam energy of the signal increases, the discrete interval of the signal will continue to increase.

The signal from the direction of the earth, like a trumpet, spreads to the direction in which it is,

Such a spread will cover a large area.

As for the size of the expansion area, it is positively correlated with the power of the communication device.

Yang Meng does not have such a high-power communication device,

But on Earth's side, according to some of the periodic communications he received on his way out of Earth for Rutan,

After mankind exterminated the gray forces in the asteroid belt, large-scale astronomical observation equipment was established on some celestial bodies in the asteroid belt.

For example, on Ceres, a large cosmic radio observation device was established with a dwarf planet as a base.

Although this is just an astronomical observation device,

But this cauldron-shaped device, with the blessing of a controlled nuclear fusion device, will become a large-scale signal broadcasting device.

In 2017, humans used such a device to send signals to Rutan.

It's just that at that time, human technology was limited, and the amount of information sent was not much, and it was just a broadcast of the position of the earth in the solar system!

And now, this large-scale astronomical observation device that occupies half of the planet is fully capable of broadcasting and communicating in the direction of Yang Meng's course.

It's just that such a large-scale device is generally only used for astronomical observation and research, and rarely actively sends signals to the universe.

But Yang Meng believes that when the news of the existence of alien civilizations on Rutan Star comes back to Earth,

There is a good chance that a human decision-maker will use a device similar to that on Ceres, to relay information in the direction he might be heading.

If that is the case, Yang Meng at this time has already received a reply from the earth:

"But it doesn't seem to have happened!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng has calmed down,

After all, he is a professional astronaut,

Although what had just happened made him a little out of shape, his mind quickly returned to a normal level.

"Is it the distance from Earth that is delaying communication?"

Yang Meng thought like this:

"Maybe wait a few more cycles, and we will receive a response from the Earth side about extraterrestrial civilizations."

"Even if you don't receive it for a while,"

"When I hibernate again, I'll be able to receive it!"
