can face the vicious gray forces,

Is there room for him to resist?

When he thought about it, he was not powerless to resist,

The obstacle avoidance system on the spaceship has the ability to attack actively.

The conceivable gray forces can escape under the encirclement and suppression of the human alliance,

When the spaceship he was riding in the face of the gray forces,

Maybe it's like a helpless scholar encountering a gang of robbers,

Although he can pick up a weapon and shake it twice,

But it can't pose much of a threat to the robbers, and even the more fierce the resistance, the more excited the other side becomes.

"Anyway, we should consider adding some defenses to the ship?"

As an important means of transportation in the pioneer exploration plan, the Boundless Oriental

It can also be equipped with various weapons,

After all, the relationship between aerospace engineering and the military has always been very close.

It can be said that the space engineering is, to a certain extent, a product of the emergence of internal confrontation among human forces.

Therefore, the ship used for the Pioneer Exploration Program can also carry a defense module,

It's just that the process of leaving Nanhesan was a bit rushed.

Yang Meng didn't have time to carry the weapon system on the spacecraft,

Now in the face of a possible threat from gray forces,

Yang Meng made up his mind to get a set of weapon systems.

Thinking of this,

He also did not hesitate, ready to upgrade the defense equipment on the ship,

After the spacecraft crashed into Rutan, the data on the spacecraft was lost due to the influence of the red haze.

But in the twenty-seven years since he left Rutan, the communication with the earth has also included some weapon defense technology.

And Yang Meng also noticed that after the gray forces fled to the solar system,

The frequency of weapon technology in ground packets is more frequent,

"It seems that the ground also wants us pioneer astronauts to arm themselves!"

……

After Yang Meng decided to install a weapon protection system for the spaceship, he activated various printers on the spaceship.

With the help of 3D printing technology, it is not difficult to turn the blueprint sent by the earth into an actual product.

And so time passed slowly,

The spaceship is getting closer and closer to the unknown galaxy ahead,

Thirty astronomical units away from an unknown galaxy, the spacecraft probe headed towards this unknown galaxy.

And the Boundless Orient he was riding did not slow down in any way,

It only adjusted its direction slightly, intending to rub past the outer part of the unknown galaxy ahead.

At this time, Yang Meng, who was standing in front of the porthole, looked at the detector that gradually turned into a point of light, and suddenly remembered something:

"Xiao Yin, has there been a result of the detection of Nanhe San!"

When he left Nanhe 3 before, Yang Meng sent a probe to the Nanhe Sanxing system.

want to see the state of the binary star system, and in addition to sending probes to the interior of Nanhe San,

Yang Meng left some detection devices on the marshmallow star,

These devices will drill through the dust layer of Marshmallow Star,

Reach the ice beneath the dust layer,

According to the depth of the dust layer, it is very likely that the ice below is the ocean where Marshmallow once was.

If it is probed in depth, it may be able to reveal the environment of the Nanhe Sanxing system:

"15 years and nine months have passed since I left the Nanhe Samsung system.

The results should be there! ”

Just when Yang Meng was thinking about whether the inside of the Nanhe Samsung system would be discovered, Xiao Yin's voice remembered in his ear:

"This is the current detection data!"

"Due to the interference of the binary star system, no celestial bodies such as planets have been discovered!"

"Didn't you find anything?"

Hearing Xiao Yin's answer, Yang Meng checked the detection data from Xiao Yin, and asked Xiao Yin about some other situations:

"What about Marshmallow Star?"

"The probe has drilled through the dust layer and found traces of a liquid ocean where it once existed,

And according to the final drilling sampling, it was found that there was a large amount of organic matter in the subglacial ocean! ”

"Organics!" Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked:

"Are there any traces of life?"

"I'm sorry, but the driller on Marshmallow has worked until the end of its life, and it has not found any traces of life!"

"Even if there are no microorganisms?"

"Yes!"

Hearing such an answer, Yang Meng's heart was a little disappointed,

Although the exploration program of human pioneers other than him failed to find traces of extraterrestrial civilizations,

But also found several planets where life exists,

It's just that the environment on those planets is not very good, and the life on them only exists in a very low-level form.

"Except for me, most of the pioneer astronauts should have gone on the opposite path!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng sighed secretly,

Among the sixteen pioneer astronauts sent by mankind, the star Rutan he went to is the second farthest star system in all the pioneer exploration programs.

Because of the difference in distance,

When he arrived at Rutan,

The pioneer astronauts who went to the nearest star have begun to return to Earth,

And the pioneer astronauts who went to Barnard's system, the second closest to the solar system,

By the time he arrived on Rutan, he had even returned to Earth and was hailed as a hero by humans,

Although he was a little envious, that friend also regretted that he didn't draw a closer star system when he drew lots.

But thinking that he had discovered an alien civilization,

and was the first human to come into contact with an extraterrestrial civilization,

He may have accomplished as much as his colleague who returned from the Barnard system,

"I wonder how the Earth side will react when it receives a letter about an extraterrestrial civilization?"

Yang Meng shook his head lightly and continued to check the detection data transmitted back by the Nanhe three-star system.

Although I was surprised that Marshmallow Star existed in the subglacial ocean, and there was a lot of organic matter in the ocean, there was no trace of life.

But thinking of what Marshmallow Star once experienced,

It's a miracle that life still exists on this planet,

As a planet that once faced a stellar explosion and was slowly abandoned by Nanhesan, life is almost impossible to exist.

Judging from the data of the detector in the past 15 years,

Marshmallow Star, because of the explosion of the star, changed its orbit,

According to the orbit simulation,

The Marshmallow Star was orbited nearly circular hundreds of millions of years ago and orbited around the Nanhe 3b of the upper main-order star.

At that time, the orbit of the marshmallow star will also be affected by the three a's of the South River,

But as the main sequence star Nanhe IIIB has a large enough mass,

It can reduce the interference of Nanhe three A to a large extent,

It's a pity that Nanhe Sanb didn't have a long lifespan because of the excessive quality, and finally reached the end of his life.

After a brilliant eruption, a white dwarf was left behind,

And when Nanhe 3b enters the end of life, the quality is lost rapidly,

The attraction to Marshmallow Star is also getting weaker,

In the end, the orbit of the marshmallow star was changed, and now Yang Meng can't be sure whether the marshmallow star has been destroyed by the Nanhe three B shadows in the red giant star stage.

But the gray layer on the marshmallow star with an average thickness of more than 5,000 meters tells how tragic the situation of this planet has been.

Maybe it's the change of track,

Let the marshmallow star be saved from being devoured by the South River three B in the stage of no red giant,

But it's also a change in orbit,

With the passage of time, the orbit of the marshmallow star becomes more and more elliptical, and it will eventually break away from the entire Nanhe three-star system and become a wandering planet.

Yang Meng before, although he had calculated that Marshmallow Star might go through such a process.

But now seeing the exact data transmitted by the probe, he still sighs in his heart.

"Whatever ever happened on this planet is now buried under the dust,

Perhaps the organic matter in the subglacial ocean is evidence that life once existed on this planet! ”

After looking at the various detection data on the marshmallow star for a while,

Yang Meng set his eyes on the internal detection data of Nanhe San,

Compared with the detection process of Marshmallow, the detection process of Nanhe triple double star system is not very smooth.

Because the gravitational fluctuations of binary star systems are more complex,

The probe must adjust its orbit from time to time in order to maintain a normal flight state.

And Nanhe 3A has entered the end of life, and the photometric change is very obvious.

At this time, the entire brightness of the Nanhe three-star system has reached the level of a sub-giant star.

This brightness shines on the Earth, making Nanhesan the ninth brightest star among the visible stars on Earth.

Nanhe San is so bright,

When it is not easy to get close to detection,

Coupled with the fact that Nanhe Sana is very tyrannical, and ten often blow out terrifying stellar winds,

As a result, most of the detection equipment used by humans to observe the universe will be disturbed.

And in addition to the interference from the three A's of the South River,

Nanhe 3b will also have a certain interference in the detection process.

This is because Nanhe 3b is very close to Nanhe 3a, and the distance between the two may not be so close when Nanhe 3b is still a main-sequence star.

But after Nanhe 3b became a white dwarf, under the gravitational perturbation of Nanhe 3a,

The average distance between the two is only 16 astronomical units.

Such a distance is equivalent to the distance from the Sun to Uranus,

And at such a short distance, Nanhesan can also have a gravitational center point, which has a huge impact on the surrounding cosmic space.

The detector sent by Yang Meng is to detect the range of 16 astronomical units of Nanhe 3A and B.

"I wonder what the flash of light was that affected the light state before?"

For Yang Meng, such a close binary star system has no need to explore.

Two massive celestial bodies are so close together,

This means that there are very few planets in their vicinity, and there is no chance of any life.

But the reason why Yang Meng is not sparse and wastes resources, but also has to explore the binary star system,

Or is it because of the strange flickering inside Nanhe San,

This scintillation does not appear to be caused by a stellar fusion reaction,

The reason for this is also puzzling to Yang Meng, but no matter what the reason, it can affect the small light, so it is necessary to detect.

If you can figure out the cause of this phenomenon, you can still restrain Xiaoguang to a certain extent.

As a conscious energy body, Xiaoguang has too many unsolved mysteries on his body.

And in the exchange with Xiaoguang, Yang Meng also learned that the Rutanxing civilization has undergone extremely tragic changes from a living body to a mechanical body to a consciousness body.

Although Xiaoguang did not tell him about the specific process of change,

But thinking that the Rutanstar civilization has existed for more than a billion years,

In the melee between the mechanical body, the living body, and the consciousness body, the small light energy has survived as the final victor so far.

This also shows that the small light is not what it looks like on the surface, it is as simple as a flashing light point.

The small light that is a point of light seems to be a very small structure, unlike humans who can make weapons and hold weapons in their hands.

But as the entire Rutanxing civilization, which can survive to this day, Yang Meng does not dare to underestimate Xiaoguang,

Coupled with Xiaoguang's history of consciousness invasion,

If such an existence is brought back to the human world, Yang Meng does not know whether such an existence is a blessing or a curse for human beings.

And in the Nanhe three-star system, he encountered a peculiar flickering phenomenon that can affect the small light,

"If we can figure out why this phenomenon affects Xiaoguang, maybe human beings can have a friendly exchange with the first alien civilization they encountered!"

As the first extraterrestrial civilization encountered by mankind,

And it's an alien civilization that has advanced technology and has achieved immortality to a certain extent.

If we use the general equivalent of money to measure the value of Xiaoguang at this time,

At this time, the small light may be worth the wealth of the entire solar system.

If there is nothing that can limit the light, then such wealth may become a scourge for mankind,

In order to find the flicker that affects the small light, this is the fundamental reason why Yang Meng launched a probe inside Nanhesan.

And in addition to this reason,

There is another factor, that is, the giant metal block collected in the Nanhe three-star system before,

According to Xiaoguang, the source of that metal fast may also be Nanhesan.

Under the influence of various factors,

It is very necessary to detect the interior of Nanhe 3:

"It's a pity that Nanhesan has entered the end of its life and is a very dangerous planet, otherwise you can stay in Nanhesan and continue to explore it!"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng sighed again,

Then he turned his head to look at the small light on the side,

At this time, the small light is still in a weak state,

The light on his body is not flickering,

Looking at the defenseless little light, exposed in front of himself like this,

Yang Meng didn't have any idea of experimenting on Xiaoguang,

The little light can survive the tragic internal strife of the Rutan Star civilization to this day,

Yang Meng believes that even if Xiaoguang enters a dormant state, he also has certain means.

Now he maintains a weak tacit understanding with Xiaoguang, and in order to return to Earth smoothly, he will not break this tacit understanding.

Although Yang Meng is unable to use active detection methods,

For example, a small light is irradiated with high-energy X-rays, or soaked in some strange liquid,

However, some passive observation methods can still be used on Xiaoguang, and the most convenient of them may be high-frame-rate high-speed viewing technology.

After glancing at the dormant Xiaoguang twice, Yang Meng shook his head, and continued to be busy with weapon protection.

As a pioneer astronaut who returned to Earth alone, although he represents the interests of the entire human race to a certain extent, he has nothing valuable, but he also has to guard against those lawless gray forces.
