Chapter 827 The Tangled Nemesis

"It's not clear sir, we still need a lot of more detailed information, but we don't have enough technology, so we can only wait for a while."

Dong Chen was not very satisfied with No. [-]'s explanation, but there was nothing he could do.

Their current highest technology is the technology obtained from the third world that has developed to the interstellar age.

It's a pity that his world only has one area, not the whole world, not even that planet belongs to him.

This kind of limitation limits the range of technology he can get, so it also limits the amount of information he can get now.

"Then find out what it is as soon as possible."

After speaking, Dong Chen frowned and pondered for a while, then continued, "If we send detection equipment to approach, can we get detailed information earlier, such as specific images?"

To Dong Chen's question, No. [-] gave a relatively negative answer, "It doesn't make much sense to do so, sir."

"Small equipment doesn't have much flying speed or reconnaissance power. By the time it flies near the target, maybe the large equipment in the command center of the asteroid belt has already obtained enough data, and the optical equipment has also obtained the image of the target. "

"If it is a super-large device, then we will have a great risk of being discovered by the target in the past, which may not be conducive to our relative initiative. Moreover, the super-large device also involves a problem of manufacturing time, and the effect may be the same as that we have in Waiting here has pretty much the same outcome."

"Of course, if the target is a planet, then you don't have to worry about these problems being discovered, but there is too little information now, so we can't be sure."

Hearing No. [-]'s explanation, Dong Chen scratched... his head in annoyance, "If it's really that "Nemesis", I'd rather come on an alien spaceship."

"Our conventional maximum detection range is one light-year in radius. Although it is not real-time detection, at least we have to scan once a day. We can't cover a light-year in three days. It is estimated that we are not as good as us, and we don't even have the ability to jump in space."

"Now that we have discovered it, the active monitoring should have been turned on, right?"

"Yes, sir. Now that the target has been tracked in real time, I believe there will be a lot of useful information for calculation soon." No. [-] replied.

"That's good, I hope it's a spaceship, because if it's really that planet, it's really not easy to handle." Dong Chen sighed.

Nemesis is a legendary celestial body named after Nemesis, the goddess of nemesis in Greek mythology, which is enough to prove its danger, but there is no evidence of its existence so far.

Of course, there's no evidence that it doesn't exist either.

It is actually a solar companion star hypothesized by scientists to explain the reasons for the periodic mass extinction of species on the earth. The star is a dwarf star, 50000 to 100000 astronomical units away from the sun, which is about the distance of the Oort cloud.

If that spot of light is this product, then it may be the culprit behind the continuous extinction and change of civilization on the earth, including the famous extinction of dinosaurs 6500 million years ago.

The companion star has an inferred orbital period of 2600 million years, wanders at a distance of 0.8 to 1.4 light-years from the sun, and periodically changes the Oort cloud through its gravitational influence as it orbits into the Oort cloud and reaches perihelion. The orbits of comets and asteroids inside the cloud cause some comets and asteroids to enter the inner solar system under the influence of gravity.

Among them, a small number of comets and asteroids entering the inner solar system are affected by the gravity of the earth and are captured by the earth and become near-Earth asteroids. Some larger comets or asteroids are affected by the gravity of the earth and periodically hit the earth.

Every time the earth suffers a large-scale impact, the internal environment will undergo drastic changes, the temperature will rise sharply, and even large-scale biological extinctions will occur from the earth.

Moreover, a large number of stars in the Milky Way are binary or multi-star systems. It is nothing new to have an extra companion star. If there is one in the solar system, it will be a good explanation for some previously unexplainable astronomical events. .

And scientists have discovered that the sun is accelerating in a certain direction, but this acceleration phenomenon cannot be well explained by the overall gravitational force of the Milky Way on the sun. Some scholars have proposed that the accelerated motion of the sun is the result of being attracted by a certain companion star.

There are also some rare gravitational phenomena in the solar system, which seem to confirm that there is a large star outside the solar system that we have not discovered. One of the important clues is a dwarf planet outside the orbit of Pluto—Sedna, whose orbit is eccentric The rate is extremely high, the perihelion and aphelion are 76 AU and 975 AU, respectively.

This astonishing eccentricity seems to indirectly prove the existence of this star. When the possible Nemesis star moves near the perihelion, this dwarf planet may be affected by both the sun's gravity and the Nemesis star's gravity. As a result, its orbit and eccentricity are affected.

Of course, all these statements are still hypotheses. Human beings have no direct evidence to prove whether this planet exists. Anyway, scientists have been arguing for a long time.

This phenomenon, in the final analysis, is due to the fact that human astronomy technology is not developed enough, and even the secrets of the solar system cannot be figured out.

If Dong Chen discovered this mysterious celestial body by mistake this time, it would have to be said to be a big discovery.

"...It's just that it takes 2600 million years for this planet to approach the sun once, and there are at least 1500 million years before the next perihelion is reached. At this time, it has entered a distance of one light-year. Isn't it a bit too early?"

"What did it do when Earth's civilization was going through the big filter, and it just happened to be photographed by us..."

"Wouldn't this nima be one of the exam questions for the big filter?!"

"After all, there are conjectures that if Vengeance Star really exists, it will definitely be affected by other stars around it. The cycle time will not be the standard 2600 million years. There may be multiple orbits, and the cycle time is also impossible. Definitely by 2600, maybe shorter, maybe longer."

"Wouldn't it be just in time for now?"

Looking at the information displayed on No. [-], Dong Chen felt his head hurt more and more.

He is still sure about dealing with asteroid attacks, but it is unbearable to put such a Nemesis by his side and give you large-scale asteroid attacks every day.

There is a root cause of dangerous gravity, and this threat cannot be solved in a short time, unless the root cause is directly solved.

But the root is most likely an underdeveloped star.

Stars, even if they are not fully bred, they are still stars, and it is not something he can solve.

Maybe he has the completion ability of the third world, so he can compete with this Nemesis, but what he got is not even a castrated version, at most it is a trial version, or Chapter 1 in the trial version, it is not at all. Can't play with this big guy.

"Sir..." No. [-] watched silently from the side, feeling that the brain power of human beings is really scary, no wonder so many people can force themselves into mental hospitals.

"It's better to wait until you get the specific data and know what it is. Your current imagination is groundless. It's just you making things difficult for yourself. It's unnecessary."

Hearing what No. [-] said, Dong Chen wiped his face vigorously for the last time, looked at the time and said, "Oh, that's it, it's getting late, I'll go to sleep first, wake me up if there is any emergency."

"Okay sir," No. [-] said with a smile, "you may have accurate news when you wake up."

"I hope, I hope it's good news, otherwise I might be even more entangled than now," Dong Chen shook his head and smiled wryly.

Originally, he enjoyed eating delicious food under the night sky, but he didn't know that such news came, which directly messed up the nature of his eating.

"By the way, let's make some small-scale detection equipment. When the situation is confirmed, they can be used directly, so there is no need to waste time and wait."

"Okay, sir."
