If you want to find the original position of the dwarf planet, you can get a straight path through the entry point and the angle at which the dwarf planet enters the inner asteroid belt.

　　 Based on the time difference between the impact of the large meteorite and the impact of the other small meteorite, it can be concluded how long it took for the dwarf planet to reach the inner asteroid belt after being hit by the large meteorite.

　　 is still the simple physical formula, speed x time = distance.

　　 And the result obtained from these mathematical calculations is...the sixth track.

　　 "Outer circle meteorite belt?"

I thought I could know the result immediately, and I was depressed at first. Although the outer meteorite belt is not as widespread as the Kuiper belt, it has a very large scale. It takes more time, energy, and resources to learn about the new civilization. .

　　The collectors started to act again. After a large number of cosmic creatures were combined into larger transport creatures, they went to the sixth orbit, the outer asteroid belt, in this energy-saving way.

　　 The two collectors who were responsible for the exploitation of resources in the outer asteroid belt also quickly received assignments from the ethnic group.

　　 "You must carefully check every meteorite without letting it go. The ethnic group is determined to win this newly discovered civilization."

　　 "In addition, meteorites that are judged to be useless are allowed to be mined as resources, so that the progress of resource mining will not drop much, and to other star systems, antimatter giants and star orbits are indispensable biological entities."

　　 "Understood, we will deal with it."

　　 Two collectors give feedback to the group that posted the task.

Each transport creature crossed dozens of astronomical units, and each arrived at the assignment point of the mission. The transport creature found a meteorite attached to it and began to die. With its death, a large number of cosmic creatures inside came out of it and dragged it. Pulling the pulse tail flame, head towards the surrounding meteorites.

　　 From a distance, it looks like fireworks launched from the second orbit, and explodes after reaching the asteroid in the sixth orbit, bursting out brilliant fireworks.

This time, the number of biological entities participating in the survey was several times more than that in the second orbit. They acted in an orderly manner under the command of the main commander, and each meteorite was not let go, just to find a new civilization. Other traces.

　　 "Does the outer ring really have it?"

　　 searched for collectors who found nothing for a while, and initiated an inquiry in the channel.

　　 "This is the result obtained by the physical model, unless the calculation result is wrong, you know, the probability of this is very small."

　　 "The dwarf planet collided with the massive meteorite in the sixth orbit and deviated from the orbit. The sixth orbit is the starting point of the dwarf planet's orbit deviation."

　　 "Don't squeeze the consumption of resources. The ethnic group is not short of resources. If the new civilization can be found, the value of the consumed resources will soon be offset."

"I understand."

The search continued, and the squandering of resources more unscrupulously than before, in return was a tremendous reduction in the search time of the sixth orbit. It was obviously larger than the asteroid belt in the second orbit, but it took only the time to search for the second orbit. Two-thirds of the time, the collectors dropped their blood in the search.

　　 Finally, after they checked hundreds of thousands of meteorites in the sixth orbit one by one, a new discovery was made on one of them.

　　 This meteorite is very large, with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers. On the surface, except for its large size, it is no different from many other meteorites, but it has another mystery inside.

　　 When the collectors emptied the carbonate material in the outer layer of the meteorite, a metal structure appeared in the vacuum of the universe.

　　 The metal structure is very distorted, tending to be spherical. It looks like it has been distorted like this after experiencing high temperature and pressure, but it can still be vaguely identified as a personal creation.

　　 A large number of tentacles drilled into this metal wreck and began to clean up the inner fillings. For tentacles that can do molecular-level finishing, it is not difficult to handle this kind of thing in detail.

　　 When the metal debris is completely cleaned up, the tentacle scans its structure, and then sends the data back to the ethnic network.

　　According to these data, the collectors restored the strongly distorted part of the metal structure, and rejoined the broken part to obtain the original intact appearance of the metal object.

　　 "This is not like a spaceship. Look, it doesn't even have a propeller."

　　 "Could it be said that this new civilization is technologically advanced enough to allow spacecraft to move in the universe without relying on thrusters?"

"Don’t guess about everything based on it. I think this wreck is part of a man-made object. Even if the technology is so advanced that it doesn’t require a propeller, there should always be a life-saving system? Those people still wear protective clothing. Space suit."

　　 "But I searched the entire sixth orbit, and apart from this thing, I didn't find any wreckage of the creation of human civilization."

"We may be able to change our thinking. Since this wreck is distorted by high temperature and high pressure, it means that such an environment once existed on the sixth orbit, but we all know that space is a vacuum, and it is not a matter of wanting to form such an environment naturally. Easy thing."

　　 "Wait, since it is high temperature and high pressure, it means that other metal debris must be the same. Maybe we have mistaken those twisted metal debris as ordinary meteorites..."

　　 "Fuck! Then let the resource collection of the sixth track stop!"

　　New instructions were broadcast ~lightnovelpub.net~ The biological entities that were performing missions in the sixth orbit asteroid belt have all stopped their resource mining activities.

According to the material of the metal wreckage, the collectors quickly locked some meteorites. These meteorites are all metal meteorites, with a thin layer of non-metallic substance attached to the outer layer, and the inside is a complete solid metal body. The metal material and the collectors The metal wreck found was the same.

　　 There are a lot of these meteorites, and there are tens of thousands of such asteroids among hundreds of thousands of meteorites.

The mystery is getting bigger and bigger. It can be determined that these tens of thousands of metal meteorites and the metal wreck were once a whole man-made object. The volume is very large, at least at the level of celestial bodies, but now it is fragmented, and only a small piece can be barely found. Identified wreckage.

　　The collectors can't help but raise questions-what happened to cause this situation?

　　 "It seems that the high temperature and high pressure has already squeezed these metal debris beyond recognition. It is difficult for us to restore these metal objects like the reduction of metal debris."

　　 "The clue is broken..."

　　 Collectors naturally can't be willing to let an opportunity for the race to make strides disappear like this, and soon, some individuals put forward new ideas.

　　 "No, it's still unbroken. We still have the obelisk found on the dwarf planet. Deciphering the words on it, we may be able to make new discoveries."

　　 "We need supercomputers, and other projects are temporarily slowing down, and we are fully committed to the construction and implementation of the Tianji giant."

　　 "Agree."
