Interstellar Industrial Age

v3 Chapter 23: , Centaur Galaxy

The Centaurus galaxy is 4, 3 light years away from the solar system.

The Centaurus galaxy is a very peculiar planetary system. Of course, this is so compared to the solar system, because the Centaurus galaxy is a triple-planet galaxy.

It has two large stars and one small star. Stars Centaur A and Centauri B are two more massive stars. Stars Centaur is the smallest of the three stars and is also the closest to Earth. One is generally called a neighboring star, which means the star closest to the sun.

The solar system has only one core star, and the Centaur galaxy has three stars. This is where the Centaur galaxy is peculiar.

虽然 Although the universe is vast and vast, most of the planetary systems are basically single stars, and a few have double stars. The three-star planetary system is very rare.

This is a bit like giving birth to a child. Basically, one child is born, and a few are twins. The probability of these triplets is very, very small. The Centaurus galaxy is the triplet planetary system in the universe. If you understand it, you will know how rare the planetary systems of these three stars are.

In the void that the Centaurus galaxy leads to the solar system, a universe that relies heavily on inertia has been flying in this dark void for almost 50 years.

For 50 years, half a century has passed since a person was born to old. Fifty years have passed. In the vast void of the universe, time is really long and long.

"Didi ~ Didi ~"

The outer shell of this spaceship did not have any patterns imprinted on it, and the spacecraft was also black. After a long period of fifty years, its outer shell was also covered with a large amount of cosmic dust, making it look like it has experienced a long The incomparable years are full of vicissitudes.

Inside the spacecraft, most of the instruments have been shut down and slept. Only the core computer that controls the spacecraft is still running, and has been running for almost fifty years.

"Coming soon to Centaurus galaxy, automatically wake up ~"

The puppet spacecraft has the most accurate clock made of 133 cesium atoms, and the spacecraft will automatically contact the Martian side every few years to approve the time.

Now it's time to reach the Centaurus galaxy, the computer on the spacecraft will automatically start to wake up all the functional modules on the spaceship.

"Hum ~"

Above the spaceship, the first nuclear fusion reactor on the spacecraft was started. With the start of the nuclear fusion reactor, huge energy began to be released continuously, and the spacecraft began to change like a robot who has been sleeping for billions of years. The lights were bright.

Extreme shell Here, with the wake of the spacecraft, the cosmic dust attached to the extraordinary shell was shaken, and began to break away one by one and return to the cosmic void.

Mechanical watches start to stretch out from the spacecraft, and then the same detectors are flipped out of the spacecraft's interior, electromagnetic wave receivers, ray detectors, redshift detectors, space telescopes, etc., and various detection instruments.

These detectors are all high-precision objects. If they are kept outside the universe, they will be greatly affected if they are contaminated with some cosmic dust. Therefore, at the beginning of design, these detectors can be retracted into the universe. Inside the spaceship.

"Didi ~ Didi ~ Contact Base Camp ~"

内 In the spaceship, under the control of the computer, the spacecraft side began to use the quantum communication equipment on the spacecraft to contact the solar system base camp to make a detailed report on the various conditions on the spacecraft.

Quantum communication theoretically ignores the distance limitation. No matter how far away, quantum communication can achieve real-time communication without any delay.

If it is electromagnetic wave communication, it will take more than 4 years for the electromagnetic wave to be transmitted from the Centaur side to the Solar System side, and it takes almost 9 years to exchange information back and forth.

And this is an ideal state. The emitted electromagnetic waves can be received by the solar system, but this electromagnetic wave propagates in the void, and it will become weaker and weaker. In the end, it is likely that the solar system will not receive it at all. Electromagnetic waves.

Similarly, it is difficult and difficult to receive the electromagnetic waves sent by the solar system in the Centaurus galaxy. The electromagnetic waves are only suitable for close-range communication. Once designed into the interstellar universe, the electromagnetic wave communication technology will Looks quite powerless.

Mars in the solar system. The Xinghan Institute of Cosmonautics and Astronomy has built a huge space city in Mars' outer space. There are a variety of advanced research equipment in it. There are a lot of cosmic astronomical telescopes specialized in super large calibers.

宇宙 These spaceships launched around the solar system decades ago have been tracked and communicated by the cosmic astronomy scientists here.

"Didi ~ Didi ~"

"Received the signal from Spacecraft 001 and started receiving information ~"

的 The center responsible for tracking and contacting, with the sound of sounds, the space astronomy scientists here are constantly busy.

"Finally, we have news of it, and it should arrive at the Centaurus galaxy."

Soon afterwards, the heads of the Xinghan Institute of Cosmic Astronomy, Long Zhankong and Huang Zhibin hurried over, and the whole person became extremely excited.

The universe is really too big. Although the cosmic astronomical telescopes built by scientists are getting bigger and bigger, the universe that can be observed is getting wider and wider.

But so far, humans still know very little about the world outside the solar system, because this cosmic astronomical telescope can only observe those glowing, shiny stars, which means that it can only observe the universe Among the stars.

Using these observations, scientists can also calculate the existence of neutron stars, black holes and the like, but scientists still don't know if there is any life in other planetary systems, such as whether there is a living planet.

Now that the unmanned spacecraft is finally reaching the Centaurus galaxy, scientists are naturally excited ~ lightnovelpub.net ~, and as the news spreads, more and more scientists have gathered.

Some scientists who study the biological sciences want to come and see if there is an alien civilization in this Centaurus galaxy, even though this Centaurus galaxy is a triplet galaxy. Compared to the solar system, scientists are already very confused It was predicted that life could not be born here, let alone the existence of a cosmic civilization.

But biological scientists have found life in many places in the solar system, which proves that life must exist widely in the universe. It is very likely that this Centaurus galaxy will have life, and maybe civilization will be born.

Some scientists studying physics come here, and they want to see what's happening in this Centaurus galaxy, so that they can be inspired by physics research.

There are also chemistry scientists coming here, and they feel that there will be new chemical discoveries in this Centaurus galaxy.

Even even the scientists who are studying communication technology come here. They want to see if the electromagnetic waves emitted from Mars a few years ago have reached the Centaurus galaxy, and whether the spaceship has received them.

In short, the entire scientific research institute of the empire is boiling, and private spacecraft are constantly resisting this huge space city, and they want to know the situation of the Centaurus galaxy in the first time.

Xu even Qin Yi was idle to do nothing, put down his work, and ran over with two followers, Lu Qingwei and Liu Peiqiang.

For the first time, human beings can truly understand and know the condition of the next planetary system in the true sense. This is a major event to be recorded in history, and no one wants to miss this moment.
