At this time, the stars of the Ross 128 galaxy are showing their huge figures, scorching the Infinite Orient.

The spacecraft has reached the closest point to the star in its course, and is using the star's gravitational pull to turn its course.

The visor on the ship's porthole has fallen,

withstanding the thermal radiation from the star Ross 128,

Whether it is Xiaoguang or Yang Meng, they have already moved away from the porthole,

At this time, the small light was flickering violently, swaying, as if it was a drunkard who had drunk too much.

"I didn't expect to be close to the stars like that!"

Xiaoguang seems to be very uncomfortable,

Seeing this situation, Yang Meng, who had been prepared, let Xiaoguang hide in the space helmet that had been modified before.

Xiaoguang's state is much better.

"We're so close to the star, can't we?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's question, Yang Meng slowly shook his head, and then glanced at the various data on the spaceship,

Now only 780,000 kilometers away from the Ross 128 star, the Ross 128 star has already caused some effects on the spacecraft.

Although it is said to have an impact, the degree of impact is still very limited.

The Ross 128 galaxy is, after all, a small red dwarf, and the coronal range of the star is very small.

Although small, the star Ross 128 is, after all, a huge source of nuclear fusion radiation.

Yang Meng still needs to protect the spaceship,

Fortunately, as early as August 2018, the Parker solar probe launched by mankind passed through the coronal layer of the sun at a distance of 24 million kilometers.

In the time that followed,

There is a danger of getting closer to the dangerous sun at the risk of constant damage to the detector.

At that time, mankind's controllable nuclear fusion technology encountered a big bottleneck.

And the universe has given the standard answer to human nuclear fusion technology.

It's just that finding answers in dangerous stars is as difficult as breaking through controlled nuclear fusion technology.

……

The spacecraft is in the process of turning and decelerating through the gravitational pull of the Ross 128 star.

In the process of bypassing the star Ross 128,

It also made Yang Meng truly realize the tiny structure of the Ross 128 galaxy.

He is now only 780,000 kilometers from the star,

And in the solar system,

At a distance of 24 million kilometers from the sun, it will be violently scorched.

At that distance, no planet can exist in the vicinity of the Sun in an orbital manner.

And Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is also 0.38 AU.

To convert a little, the average distance of Mercury from the Sun is about 52 million kilometers.

And in the Ross 128 system,

The average distance between Ross 128b and the star is only 0.05 AU, which translates to only 7.5 million kilometers.

If it was the Parker probe launched by humans,

From a position of 7.5 million kilometers across the skimming sun,

Even if the above protective measures are done well, they will be burned,

And in the Ross 128 star system,

The 7.5 million km position has just entered the habitable zone of this star system,

And in his current position,

is still an area where planets can exist,

It is precisely this situation that makes Yang Meng dare to use Ross 128 to turn and slow down.

But stars are stars after all,

Even though the surface temperature of the star Ross 128 is almost half the surface temperature of the Sun, it is about 3200 degrees.

But at such a distance, the star is still not directly visible,

If you use a mortal like him to look directly at the stars, you will be hit with unspeakable blows.

Fortunately, in order to break through the controllable nuclear fusion technology,

A large number of stellar approach observation techniques have been developed.

With the support of these technologies, Yang Meng has the capital to look directly at this star.

The data transmitted back through the spacecraft's outer tire tester,

Yang Meng saw the appearance of this star for the first time,

Compared to the bright sun,

Observing a red dwarf star at such a distance, the sights above it give people an unsettling and terrifying feeling.

……

Unlike the peaceful Rutan,

Ross 128 has been observed to flare on several occasions.

For this star, which has been stable for 9.4 billion years,

The constant flashing of light on its body also makes human researchers feel incomprehensible,

You must know that the red dwarf star has a long lifespan precisely because it lives a flat life,

Frequent activity is likely to reduce the lifespan of red dwarfs.

Human astrophysicists have given many inferences as to why red dwarfs have strange flares.

For example, the accumulation and explosion of an element in the process of stellar fusion,

There are or are external factors, such as being in a multi-star system,

Other stars of a younger age, the stellar material ejected is absorbed by the red dwarf,

In short, there is still no accurate conclusion as to why red dwarfs have abnormal flickering phenomena.

But for the situation in the Ross 128 galaxy, Yang Meng has some guesses,

"Maybe the Ross 128 galaxy sucked up some matter during its fall into the Milky Way!"

"These materials were absorbed by the Ross 128 galaxy, and as time passed, the phenomenon of flare-up slowly appeared!"

Yang Meng thought for a while, he is not a professional astrophysicist,

He can only ask Xiao Yin to record the data of the Ross 128 star and send it back to Earth later, which is also one of his tasks as a pioneer astronaut.

is also in the data that Xiao Yin is preparing to transmit,

Yang Meng saw a picture that made him a little uncomfortable,

Through certain observation techniques, human beings can remove the luminous layer of the star and see the surface of the star under the light.

And on such a surface, you can see obvious flare areas and sunspots.

For example, there are some sunspots on the surface of the sun,

These sunspots are the sun's low-temperature regions and are formed as a result of the sun's convective environment.

Compared to the average temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius of the sun's surface temperature,

The temperature of the sunspot is only about 4,000 degrees Celsius,

It is also this temperature difference that makes some obvious black spots appear on the sun.

But the sun is a yellow dwarf after all,

There are not too many black spots on the body,

But it's different on the star Ross 128,

The temperature of the red dwarf is already low,

When the spacecraft probe observes sunspots by observing sunspots,

It can be clearly seen that

The whole star is densely covered with large and small sunspots,

These sunspots are deep and dark,

It's as if the surrounding light and heat are sucked into it.

If you put the sunspot state on the surface of the star, such as an adult face,

The sun is like a person with a few black moles or dark spots on his face.

Although it will affect the beauty of the face,

But not to the point where it makes others feel uncomfortable,

But the star of Ross 128, as if he had some serious illness,

The face is densely covered with some black spots and dark spots,

Even on the tongue that sticks out, there are black spots and dark spots,

Seeing such a face, even if a person with high morals will inevitably have some uncomfortable emotions in his heart,

And the star Ross 128 is such a sight.

Looking at these uncomfortable images,

Yang Meng hurriedly turned off this layer,

When Yang Meng closes the layer,

The light emitted by the stars returns to the stars,

The star is back to its previous red state,

At this time, Yang Meng recalled that

In previous communications with the ground, other pioneer astronauts who have traveled to the red dwarf galaxy have only sent a message,

Don't look at red dwarfs in a certain state unless you have to.

……

Because of the tightness of the structure of red dwarfs,

It didn't take much time for Yang Meng to bypass the red dwarf,

Under the gravitational pull of the red dwarf,

The ship's speed was further reduced, heading towards his destination, Ross 128b.

At a distance of 2.1 million from the red dwarf,

The protective plate on the porthole of the spaceship was finally retracted,

The light also floated out of its own protective device,

Look out at the stars in front of the porthole.

"Well, what's the difference between this and your galaxy?"

Seeing a little light floating in front of the porthole,

Yang Meng, who had just finished sorting out some data, asked loudly.

"The difference?"

The little light flickered as if thinking about something,

"Except for the strange taste, it's not much different from the galaxy I'm in.

In the vicinity of such stars, there is a feeling of returning to our galaxy! ”

At this time, Yang Meng also floated to the porthole,

Looking out the porthole, at the huge red orb.

"What about your stars?"

Xiaoguang asked the same question as Yang Meng?

"This star isn't as beautiful as the star I'm on!"

"Huh!?" Hearing Yang Meng's answer, the small light flashed twice,

seems to be a little puzzled by Yang Meng's answer.

After all, they are two different civilizations,

What humans hold up beautifully, the Rutans may not understand.

Yang Meng didn't know how Xiao Yin translated the intention of beauty to Xiao Guang,

But he didn't give any explanation.

……

The planet Ross 128b is very close to the star,

Only 7.5 million kilometers away,

Compared with the nearest distance of 55 million kilometers from the Earth to Mars, it can be said that it is a late time.

At the speed at which it entered the Roth 128 system,

Yang Meng only needs four days to reach Ross 128b.

But because of the need to slow down into the orbit of the planet Ross 128b,

When the spacecraft reached the vicinity of Ross 128b, it was already half a month later.

"Hikaru Komi, did you detect anything unusual?"

Hearing Yang Meng's inquiry, Xiaoguang flickered and responded:

"Nope!"

This answer made Yang Meng a little disappointed,

Since the spacecraft moved away from the Ross 128 star, Xiaoguang's exploration activities have become active again.

Xiaoguang, the pioneer astronaut who lost contact, is very active,

However, no matter how active Xiaoguang was, or the various detection methods on the spaceship that Yang Meng had exhausted,

He still didn't find anything.

As he was about to reach Ross 128b, a hunch grew stronger in his heart.

"Xiao Yin, call up the data of the other six planets!"

"Understood!"

At this time, Yang Meng already had other plans,

He looked at the data of the other planets and couldn't help frowning:

"Where else can she go on planet b where she is not there?"

The Ross 128 galaxy is not big,

During the time it took to enter this galaxy,

Yang Meng has basically detected the state of other planets except Planet B

Because the habitable zone of the Ross 128 galaxy is narrow,

A planet b has taken an important place in the habitable zone,

There is no place for other planets,

It's not like the solar system,

Mars can even rub near the ice and snow line of the habitable zone,

If you put Planet B in the position of Mars,

Because of the influence of thick gases, even liquid water can exist,

But in this galaxy, except for planet B,

The other planets are either too close to the star or too far from the star.

Except for planet b,

Yang Meng really couldn't imagine where the pioneer astronaut went?

Just when Yang Meng was looking for a planet where to settle in addition to Planet B,

Xiao Yin's prompt sound suddenly sounded in his ears,

"Pay attention to the meteorite debris belt that appears ahead, the obstacle avoidance system is about to be activated!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's voice, Yang Meng came back to his senses,

Looking out the window through the porthole,

At this time, some bright spots appeared in front of the spaceship,

These highlights are the meteorite debris belts suggested by Xiao Yin,

It is already a common thing to encounter meteorite debris belts in this galaxy,

What really caught Yang Meng's attention was behind the bright light spot,

There is a bright hemispherical object in the shape of a lake,

This celestial body is a kind of blue color, and there are some white lines intertwined with it.

Seeing such a planet,

Yang Meng seemed to see the earth for a moment,

But he soon discovered that, unlike the blue Earth, the planet ahead seemed to have more white.

"Didn't expect it to be so close to Planet B?"

With the spacecraft circumnavigating the meteorite debris belt,

Planet B in front of us becomes clearer,

Through the data transmitted back by the previous advance probe, Yang Meng learned that there is a large amount of water in the atmosphere of this planet.

There is a high probability that there is a liquid ocean on the surface,

What the planet looks like today,

He finally determined something,

"It seems that there is water on this planet!"

"Then that pioneer astronaut should have reached this planet after detecting this situation!"

Looking at the predominantly white planet ahead,

Yang Meng thought about something in his heart,

Since the previous advance probe passed by the planet Ross 128b at a great distance,

He didn't send a probe to the planet.

After all, his spaceship has to go to Planet B in person, and there is no need to waste resources.

The various detection devices on the spacecraft are much better than those on the probe.

With the spirit of thrift and thrift,

Yang Meng headed towards the planet,

And now seeing the existence of surface water on this planet, his heart has also made some waves,

"If there is water, there is a chance that life will exist?"

"So if there is life on this planet,

So what kind of structure does life have?

Where is the life above?

Or maybe the pioneer astronauts were stranded on the planet for some reason? ”

To be on the safe side,

Yang Meng still sent an advance probe towards the planet,

Looking at the distant figure of the detector, Yang Meng recalled one thing again,

He was not the first pioneer astronaut to encounter the existence of the ocean.

In the process of exploring the surrounding galaxies, there are also pioneer astronauts who have discovered planets with oceans in other galaxies.

But alas,

The life forms above are extremely low-end,

Such proof of one thing,

The existence of the ocean is not necessarily related to the existence of higher life,

Just like the Rutans civilization,

Keep all of your oceans beneath the ground,

If you look at it directly, you might think it's a barren planet.

In this case, seeing such a planet, Yang Meng had doubts.
