Chapter 356 Strange Galaxy

In the dark starry sky, twelve human sixth-generation strategic ships, in the state of super-light speed of curvature, are like a streamer, encapsulated in the space-time foam, and continue to gallop toward a certain star system at a flight speed of more than 10 light speeds. Generally, the diameter of the gravitational force of a star system is tens of billions of kilometers, and the distance to the next star system is hundreds of thousands of light-years. Since there is no 'natural wormhole' in this starry sky area, the pioneer fleet cannot take advantage of this shortcut. Therefore, There is only another way to fly. The curvature engine creates a strong gravitational field, and the curvature exceeds the speed of light. Using the curvature of the gravitational field to bend the space-time line of sight is not too esoteric aviation technology, but it requires huge energy to change the structure of the gravitational field. A single gravitational field is like a gravitational field of a celestial body. The curvature of space-time is the same in all aspects and angles. Such a space-time is like a lake in front of the water surface falling, and the water surface on the left and right behind it also falling synchronously, and finally the relative is equivalent to no change. , and does not push the boat to move. The curvature engine creates a large-area gravitational field collapse effect. After multiple gravitational fields interfere with each other and superimpose, finally multiple gravitational fields form an irregular gravitational field that can directionally change space-time curvature in a certain direction. Change, to change the path of the spacecraft, and finally, to achieve the spacecraft to break through the space limit of the speed of light and enter another level of space navigation. On the surface, it is a super-light flight, but in fact, it is essentially a space flight. , rather than superluminal flight in the true sense. The vanguard fleet that entered the curvature sailing, twisted the space to move forward at a high speed, although the speed was far from being comparable to the convenience of traversing the wormhole, but it was still sailing in space, and the speed was much higher than that of light thousands of times in static space. speed. The stars are turning, time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The vanguard fleet suddenly broke free from the state of curvature sailing, and the alarm sounded loudly in the vanguard flagship command room. "Alarm, large energy fluctuations are found ahead, terminate the curvature navigation, and wake up the commander!" "Alarm, large energy fluctuations are found ahead, terminate the curvature navigation, and wake up the commander!"... The sharp voice of the battleship's brain echoed in the flagship command room , Not long after, there was a 'chichi' sound in the dormant room, and the thick dormant hatches were opened, sending out a thick mist. Li Chen opened his eyes and woke up from hibernation, and was quickly helped out of the hibernation cabin by two servant robots standing beside him. "What happened? We arrived at our destination?" Li Chen asked weakly, looking at the battleship Zhinao standing in front of it. "Commander, the fleet has not yet arrived at its destination. However, abnormal energy fluctuations in the front are detected. If the voyage in curvature continues, it may be affected and the entire army will be destroyed." Battleship Zhinao looked at Li Chenhui's report. After finishing speaking, Battleship Zhinao released a holographic screen in front of Li Chen. On the screen, a vast starry sky appeared. The star cluster in front of it was the brightest and most dazzling. It was the collision of dense interstellar dust particles in the nebula, which caused a magical phenomenon. Under the high-speed impact of the particles, a large number of X-rays are emitted. Along with the X-rays, there is also light in the visible light band. This light, showing a faint pink color, dyes the starry sky in front of it into a red cloud. At the same time, extremely powerful light bursts occur from time to time. However, the field of vision was obstructed by the pink 'nebula', which made it impossible to see what was happening in the depths. The scene in front of him immediately caught Li Chen's attention. He stood up straight with the aid of two servant robots, and ordered, "Stop advancing immediately." "As ordered, Commander!" The fleet turned off the engine thrusters and slowly lowered the speed of the flight. "Abnormal energy fluctuations, have you confirmed the cause, what happened inside the ZD234 star cluster?" Li Chen asked after looking at the battleship intellectual brain. "There is a lack of effective observation data, and the cause cannot be determined for the time being. The 75% chance is caused by the violent activity of the star system inside the star cluster!" Battleship Zhinao looked at Li Chen,

replied. "Is it unknown?" Li Chen frowned and muttered to himself, with a solemn expression on everyone's face. Interstellar navigation cannot tolerate the slightest sloppy and reckless. Once an accident occurs, the light fleet will be damaged, and the heavy ship will be destroyed. In the whole unfamiliar galaxy, there is no possibility of escape. "Xiaozhi, how about bypassing the ZD234 star cluster, and how much time is it expected to take?" Li Chen thought about it for a long time, looking at the battleship Zhinao and asked. "The star cluster can be bypassed, but the area covered by the star cluster in front is too wide. If you detour, the fleet will have to travel at least 5-7 times longer to reach the destination." Battleship Zhinao watched Li Chenhui's report. Hearing this, Li Chen's face sank slightly. There was only one last voyage left to reach the Thales galaxy. He deliberately chose a close-range galaxy crossing. The time spent on this curvature voyage was already very long, and it increased by 5-7 times. time, it's worth it! "Commander, otherwise, we can change other directions, such as the ZT86 galaxy, or here, the TX47 galaxy, .... "Battleship Zhinao looked at Li Chen and suggested. Li Chen frowned, a little dissatisfied. The two galaxies pointed out by Battleship Zhinao are not ideal targets. One is too far away, and the other is because there are few planets:" No suitable optional targets? "Commander, the other nearby galaxies are all single stars. The suitable star system is too far away from us. The nearest galaxy is 2-3 times of the original target. "Battleship Zhinao looked at Li Chen and replied. Li Chen looked at the holographic screen and frowned: "Xiao Zhi, can we pass through this layer of star clusters, is it a big risk?" "Commander, there are 12 stars in this cluster, and they are very close to each other, forming a complex tractive structure, the largest of which is this one, which I will call an A-class star, to pass through this star map, It is best to go through the edge of A star. "Battleship Intelligence Brain explained the internal structure diagram of the traveling warrior star map in detail. Li Chen frowned, just when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Battleship Intelligence Brain: "Commander, from the particle structure analysis, this is The energy particles of the nebula covered by the star cluster are not violent, and the spacecraft shield is enough to resist them. However, the star inside the star cluster, which I call the B star, is yellow-white in color, which indicates that its surface temperature is lower than Higher, correspondingly, its mass is also relatively large, with a diameter of about 127.9 million kilometers, frequent bursts of solar wind, and the inner planetary system has 11 planets orbiting him, but the orbit is now in an unstable state, ..., the planets in this galaxy The system is bad, and there should be no intelligent civilization. Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the changes in the state of the stars, there should be no other dangers. "According to the surface temperature, stars will show different colors, from low to high, followed by red, yellow, white, blue. Generally speaking, the higher the surface temperature of the star, the greater the mass, but it is not absolute . For example, a red giant star, its color is also red, but it can be many times larger than a red dwarf star. It appears red because it reaches the end of its life, expands in size and decreases in temperature. The B star in the cluster is a A star whose color is yellow and white. Generally speaking, the orbits of planets revolving around stars can be predicted. For example, the earth, at a certain time of the year, has a fixed distance from the sun, even if there is an error. Negligible, this causes Earth's orbit to be stable as well. But the planets of this galaxy are not. Above a certain point in time around the star, the previous week and this week often change greatly. This means that it The orbit is extremely unstable. Obviously, this instability is caused by the gravitational disturbance of the rest of the stars. "Are you sure there is no intelligent life? What's up with those anomalous energy lasing? How do I feel something is wrong. Li Chen frowned and looked at the star map displayed on the holographic screen, seriously doubting. "Commander, it is the occasional material transfer between stars and stars, most of which are the process of transferring from other stars to the central star. This star cluster continues this process. If the state continues, after hundreds of millions of years, they may eventually produce a supernova explosion and condense into a giant star! Battleship Zhinao deduced the results and reported to Li Chenhui. After such an introduction by Battleship Zhinao, Li Chen's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a miraculous celestial phenomenon! "It seems that it is right to leave the group for an interstellar voyage. Otherwise, how could it be possible to observe such a magical astronomical imagination at close range? For a while, Li Chen was relieved and became full of pride. This is the life he has dreamed of! "Commander, the main ship Pioneer invites you to participate in the virtual meeting! "Battleship Zhinao conveyed instructions to Li Chen. "Well, help me project it!" Attend a virtual meeting. Li Chen answered the order and instructed the battleship Zhinao Road. The next moment, an electronic light curtain flashed in front of him, and he successfully appeared at the captain's meeting of the Vanguard Fleet. The commander-in-chief, Zhou Kai, sat on the chairman's seat, and there were ten others. Captain, they are all solemn and solemn. "Everyone knows about the accident! The star system we are moving forward has an emergency! Now we need to change the way forward. "Zhou Kai looked around at the eleven captains and gestured. "Yes!" I asked Zhinao for the analysis data. The star system of this star cluster is in a state of explosion, and the situation is too complicated to sail with high curvature. Otherwise, the fleet cannot escape, and the fleet can only maintain low curvature. One of the captains gestured. The faces of the captains sank, and Li Chen hurriedly asked, "How long does it take to fly through this star system at a low magnification?" ""About 5-7 months, if there are other unexpected changes, the time may continue to be extended. "The captain looked at Li Chen and said uncertainly.

Hearing this, everyone was silent in a collective silence. If the detour would take longer, fly with a low curvature, and the speed would not be less than that, everyone looked at each other, and the group fell into thinking. "Can you determine the cause of this sudden explosion? Zhinao, is there any sign of man-made in this unexpected starburst event?" This is, Zhou Kai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked the flagship Zhinao. "Commander-in-chief, according to the analysis of the detection results, no abnormal data has been detected, and human means have been ruled out!" The flagship Zhinao responded, and immediately, a data analysis model of the sudden explosion of the double star system appeared on the holographic screen. "There is no artificial phenomenon, so let's move on! Do you have any opinions?" Zhou Kai breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the captains and asking. "Agree!" All the captains agreed and nodded. Soon, the vanguard fleet accelerated again and slowly flew into this galaxy. Since there is no diffuse reflection in the universe, cosmic matter, whether it is a planet or a spacecraft, when approaching a star, the side facing the star is day, and the side facing away from the star is night. But after this star cluster, there is no such thing as a dark night. Whether front or back, front or back, left or right, the vanguard fleet was illuminated by these stars. In the command room of the Tianlong ship, a giant planet around an A-class star caught Li Chen's eyes. Aware of Li Chen's gaze, Battleship Brain immediately displayed the entire planet's structure, parameters, and shape on the holographic screen. Li Chen's eyes widened, seeing the structure of this planet clearly, and had to marvel at the wonder of the universe once again. The surface of this planet presents a black crystalline smooth ground with almost no undulations, no mountains, no valleys, and the whole is extremely smooth, like a black glass ball, shining with a dark luster. "What's going on? How did this planet become like this?" Li Chen stared at the planet in front of him, and asked Battleship Zhinao in a puzzled way. "Commander, those black surfaces are all melted rocks. In the past time, they approached the star countless times, and were then scorched by the star's huge heat, causing the rocky surface to melt away, and then when away from the star, It cooled and condensed again, until the next time it was close to the star, it continued to be melted.... In the process of repeated condensation, melting, condensation, and melting, all the geological details on its surface were erased, so it eventually became It has become like this." "This planet does not have any atmosphere. Even if it had an atmosphere at the beginning, it would be stripped by the star. Just like now, it is 50 million kilometers away from star A, less than the earth and the Half the distance from the sun, coupled with the intense stellar activity of star A, at such a short distance, even if the Earth's atmosphere is more than 1000000 meters thick, it will be completely stripped away in tens of thousands of years." Battleship Zhinao deduced it. The orbit of the planet, explained to Li Chen. Under the illumination of star A, its surface temperature reached about 400 degrees Celsius, and the rocky surface exuded a dim red light, like a terrifying lava hell, shining with a dark luster that devoured people. "In such a harsh environment, this planet will definitely not be able to give birth to life." Li Chen showed a sudden look, sighed with emotion, and continued to instruct the battleship Zhinao: "Look at the situation of other planets." "As ordered, Commander! "Battleship Zhinao responded to the order, and immediately, the other planets appeared on the commanding screen one after another. The shapes of these planets are similar. They have been devastated by stellar clusters in this star cluster, so that their body surface colors are biased towards heavy colors, either red and shiny, or black and terrifying, more like bright silver planets, time-consuming It was polished into a metal sphere, reflecting a dazzling silver luster. Just as Li Chen squinted his eyes and was intoxicated, a sudden silver light flashed on the command screen, and a sharp beam of light suddenly shot at them at a rapid speed. (
