"Sun's," the data terminal replied curtly.
"A pile of... ashes from the sun?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, "Is it an extinguished star? What else?"
"Other than that, there is nothing, no planets, no asteroid belts, and no man-made celestial bodies. The joint thinking program of the drone group compared the starry sky in Nu Ling's memory, and it found a place where a similar starry sky can be observed , the coincidence rate of the star map reaches 99.99%, basically it can be confirmed that it is the place where Nu Ling looked up at the starry sky at the beginning—but there is only a vast space in that place, and the closest entity to it is an extinguished star. Now the only The good news is that the star is still a little away from the place we judged before, about two astronomical units away, so the Nangong couple should not be thrown into the sun, but thrown in a place where the sun was originally located. planets, but those planets are nowhere to be found."
Everyone can be regarded as relieved.
Lily leaned on the back of her seat: "Go and have a look."
Hao Ren nodded, and ordered the spaceship to disconnect the direct data connection with the outpost. The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace retracted the contact beam, turned into a silver light and disappeared into space, and the small outpost re-adjusted the angle of the crystal plate, and quickly returned to the working state.
After a short voyage, the spacecraft arrived at its destination. The observation platform on the upper part of the giant turtle rock platform slowly protruded from under the armor belt. After the shading layer was lowered, the vast space appeared in front of everyone, dark and vast.
The data terminal points a certain direction in space with a beam of light, and at the place where the beam points, a small ball of dim and reddish light the size of an egg can be seen: "That is the ashes, a sun that has been extinguished for a long time, It failed to become a black hole, and now there is only a slightly hot core still emitting residual heat, and the whole star can be said to have nothing left. The entire space around us is floating in the remnants of this star... Thin The gas, the fragments of the big bang or something, is very, very thin and negligible."
Hao Ren nodded. He could see an unnatural gray-brown color in the cosmic background, the ashes of stars that had exploded. Since these thin air masses spread to such a far place, the current position of the spacecraft should have been swallowed by the erupting star corona once. If there were any planets here, they were probably burned to slag by the scorching nuclear flames.
But even if it is burned to slag, at least some "slag" should be left.
"Have you checked the possible orbits?" Hao Ren looked at the embers of a star in the distance, "Even if that star burned all its satellites, it should at least leave some scum."
The terminal made a beeping sound: "Checked, nothing."
"Expand the search area," Hao Ren nodded. "When a star explodes, it may blow away the celestial bodies around it."
"This machine can't think of it," the data terminal swayed its body, "This machine wants to remind: According to calculations, the star in front of you exploded more than 10,000 years ago. Even if it blows away its own satellite, it should have happened at that time Yes, and the starry sky in Nu Ling's memory was a hundred years ago, and the place was calm and peaceful a hundred years ago—so if we can't find anything here now, then there will be nothing here a hundred years ago have."
Y'zaks suddenly said next to him: "Unless there was a planet here a hundred years ago, and then it ran away with long legs within a hundred years."
Elizabeth imitated her father's usual manner and nodded with her arms folded: "My father makes sense."
Vivienne waved her hand to tell the little girl not to cause trouble: "You know what your dad said, it makes sense."
Elizabeth puffed her chest out: "Anyway, my dad's sustainability makes sense! This is the law of nature!"
Just when Hao Ren was about to say something, a halo suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the space near the spaceship, and a small rectangular device emitting silver light jumped out of the halo, and approached the giant without a sound. Turtle Rock Terrace. Hao Ren recognized that this was exactly the kind of detector he had released—of course it wasn't the original one, it should be the "offspring" of an unknown generation of detectors. Currently in charge of the star map drawing work in this area. This smart UAV sensed the position of the master controller and flew straight to the observation platform of the Giant Turtle Rock. The rear half of its casing opened to both sides, and a small metal device floated out of its "belly" , and passed through the shield of the observation platform and landed in front of everyone.
Lily immediately caught this gadget curiously, and found that it was an incomplete part, and its manufacturing process was obviously not on Xiling equipment.
Hao Ren was amazed immediately: "Where did it get this?!"
The data terminal went up to communicate with the detector: "It is several light years away from here, and it was discovered in space. At that time, this fragment was flying in space at 3% of the speed of light."
Hao Ren thought of something, and immediately ordered: "Follow in that direction!"
A burst of blue light emanates from the surface of the probe drone. It disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant, and the data terminal turned on the holographic projection, which showed the radar image continuously sent back by the detector-this image is rapidly extending towards a certain direction as the giant turtle rock platform. After a while, the data terminal suddenly issued a loud whistle, and a bright red dot appeared on the image: "The probe found a planet! But it is being pushed by a lot of thrusters, at least eight light years away..."
Immediately, everyone fell silent, and all eyes focused on Yizaks, who scratched his big bald head and laughed dryly: "It's really long legs to run..."
Elizabeth continued to hold her arms proudly: "So my dad's sustainability makes sense."
The Juguiyantai immediately followed the navigation signal sent by the probe, and quickly caught up with the planet that was running wildly in the vast space. The sight in front of them left everyone dumbfounded.
A dim, grayish-white planet moves alone through space. Its surface is distributed with neat and huge ravine lines, which are the traces left by the deep artificial transformation of the entire planet. Where those lines meet, there are a large number of propellers arranged symmetrically along the earth's axis. The scale of those propellers is like a mountain, and it is unbelievably huge to look at from outer space. Some of them are running with a bang, and brilliant flames of hundreds of thousands of miles are erupting from the huge nozzles. These rays of light push the planet in Moving forward in space, and maintaining a slow acceleration process.
This planet embodies a kind of "rough technological power" everywhere, and the propulsion method it uses is obviously the original working fluid engine, which is not the same as the "coordinate drive method" adopted by many space civilizations. It is such a simple and rude way of propulsion that makes the entire planet present a jaw-dropping sense of power.
The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace was flying synchronously over this dim planet. Hao Ren looked down at the gray-white ground beneath his feet from the observation platform: "Didn't the detection drone discover this planet before?"
"The early drones were only surveying and drawing sketches, basically detecting stars. As for planets and small wandering celestial bodies in space, they are all covered by larger gravitational sources or light sources," the data terminal explained, "In addition, we The planet in front of me is right on the borderline of the two detection drone cruising areas, and there is a high chance of being ignored. After all...it neither emits light, nor has a large mass, and is low temperature."
"Roll" squatted next to the observation platform and meowed in surprise, his tail dangling slightly in the air: "Is that where the big cat is looking for?"
"Is it here?" Vivian also turned her head and asked.
The data terminal is calculating the trajectory of this wandering star, and based on its current sailing route and acceleration, it can reverse its position a hundred years ago. This requires complicated calculations, and only approximate values can be obtained under ideal conditions-the stars in the universe are a constantly changing frame of reference, and all celestial bodies are in motion, so many things must be pushed backwards at the same time when calculating. Fortunately, the time span that the data terminal needs to consider is only a mere hundred years, and within a hundred years, the relative positions of the stars will not change much.
"First of all, we assume that this planet will maintain the current thrust for acceleration after leaving the star system, and then assume that it has not changed its course within a hundred years, nor has it been captured by other massive celestial bodies, and finally consider all The perturbation caused by the gravitational source..." The data terminal muttered while calculating, and Hao Ren's head was as big as a bucket: "You speak human language directly."
"Oh, this should be the star we are looking for," the data terminal slapped Hao Ren's forehead, "It should have been located at the coordinate point we found a hundred years ago... there are dozens of deviations from front to back Astronomical units, but on the scale of space, this deviation is almost equivalent to a perfect fit."
Lily poked Nangong Wuyue's lower back: "Your parents should be below. Probably."
(Ask for a monthly pass = .= Please check to see if you have a monthly pass. If you have one, just vote. There should be no double at the end of the month, and I may not be able to remember if there is a double...) (to be continued~^~)
