Beneath Deep Space

On July 8, 2004, the year of the new human calendar, after more than 200 years of interstellar voyage, the Deep Space is about 0.13 light years away from Auriga.

The spacecraft is staying in the void, doing the last routine inspection. Almost everyone has woken up from the hibernation chamber, looking curiously at the ordinary star in front of them through the glass.

A group of young men and women are in the observatory, yelling at the starry sky.

"Aha!"

"Sagittarius Cantilever, this is already the Sagittarius Cantilever, we are coming!"

"We are coming! Ah——"

The first cantilever-level starry sky roaming of the new human civilization has finally been completed. This is a great milestone.

More than 200 years of voyage, it is really too long. Although the time felt by everyone has been greatly shortened by the hibernation chamber, it still feels long.

"The number of turns in the middle is more than 200 times! It has been nearly 80 years since we detected the enemy's planetary spacecraft. Finally, we have completely shaken off the enemy."

"Look, a meteorite, it's a meteorite!"

The observatory detected a small meteorite with a diameter of 20 meters, with a mass of tens of thousands of tons, passing by a million kilometers away. This time it was a real iron meteorite, with a speed of about 47 kilometers per second.

Seeing the red dot in the radar, some people even flashed tears with excitement. After so many years, people finally saw matter!

The great sense of security brought by matter was immediately brought up by this meteorite, with a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, which was difficult to describe. So many people stopped shouting when they saw the meteorite, but stared blankly, feeling the taste in their hearts.

However, people did not choose to capture it with a big fuss.

Because everyone knows that there is a large amount of matter in the Auriga star field.

A lot!

The vast fear when facing the endless universe was finally warmed by a star.

Even Yu Yifeng felt a wave of relief.

When he first escaped, the material warehouse was full, piled up like a mountain, giving him a feeling that he would never use up all the supplies.

And now... well, let's not talk about it. Even the maintenance of the Yuyan troops in the later period was carefully calculated, and they could save as much as possible. He even doubted whether these spacecraft could still fly normally...

In short, humans still survived!

"This will become our paradise. I plan to use all the remaining space of Noah! In this way, we can store more and more materials... and build a new generation of motherships!"

Taking advantage of this time, astronomers also began to work busy. Although they were excited, the routine safety work had to continue.

According to the current scientific and technological detection methods, the approximate planetary data of 0.13 light years can be determined.

Auriga is a dwarf yellow star with a mass of 98.9% of the sun, and its age is about 4.53 billion years. The luminous intensity is not much different from that of the sun.

"Does the Seeder civilization know the solar system?"

Faced with this data, Yu Yifeng held his chin and pondered.

In the universe, almost every star is accompanied by planets. But it must be said that such a dwarf yellow star is the best place to nurture life. It has moderate light intensity and moderate gravity, and can emit light stably and safely for a long time.

If it is a red dwarf, the light intensity is too weak, and the surrounding planets are generally cold, and only very close places have enough light.

However, the mass of red dwarfs is small, and nuclear fusion is not stable, and large-scale flares are produced from time to time, accompanied by a large amount of radiation. Planets that are too close to red dwarfs generally have no atmosphere because all these gases are blown away by the solar wind.

If it is a blue dwarf like Sirius, the light intensity is too strong, and the lifespan of such a massive star is generally not much, about one billion years.

In such a time period, the star has often burned out before it has time to nurture large life. After the death of a blue dwarf, it is even possible to produce a supernova explosion, swallowing all the surrounding planets.

Therefore, yellow dwarfs are the main home of life.

There are about seven major massive planets in Auriga, which are simply named "Auriga 1", "Auriga 2" and so on to "Auriga 7".

"Auriga 1" is an extremely hot planet, as big as Mars, with almost no atmosphere, and the average surface temperature is estimated to be more than 300 degrees...

When people observed "Auriga 2", they were stunned.

Oh my God, a...

a blue planet!

The astronomy professor rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Is it so similar? "Auriga 2" is only about 1 astronomical unit away from the star, which is about the same as the position of the earth. It is completely a blue planet full of water resources.

"The surface... is full of oxygen!"

The only difference is... there are two satellites around it, one large and one small.

This sapphire-like color made everyone in the observatory open their mouths slightly, and they were shocked.

Of course, many people here have never witnessed the real earth, they have only seen it from some photos.

"It seems, it really looks like the earth..."

It's strange that although I was full of surprises, I was not as excited as I was when I first met "Dig 114". Even the first generation in Noah were like this, they just looked at it excitedly... looked at it...

Yu Yifeng thought for a while. After so many years of interstellar travel, the desire to "go home" has gradually diminished. People regard the Noah as their home.

This is a wonderful psychological change.

"Is this the reminder given to us by the Sower Civilization? What is inside? Aboriginal civilization?" People looked at the blue planet with interest and kept talking.

Full of various hopes, Yu Yifeng immediately convened a major meeting after all the astronomical data came out.

"...Construction, exploration, and development are our themes this time. The above seven planets are the astronomy reports we got."

Yu Yifeng was explaining on the stage, and behind him, the virtual imaging system clearly simulated the conditions of all planets.

Seven planets are lined up in a row, with different sizes. The four in the front are all terrestrial planets, the three in the back are gas planets, and one is even bigger than Jupiter.

In addition to Auriga 1 and Auriga 2, Auriga 3 is an Earth-like planet with a high gravity. Its surface is filled with various acidic gases and the environment is extremely harsh.

"So... I suggest that we should choose Auriga 4 as the first main base instead of the blue Auriga 2. Because Auriga 2 looks like a planet full of life at first glance. Although it is similar to... our previous earth It looks very similar, but it's not the Earth. The microbial environment is too troublesome for us. Well... there is most likely life."

The speaker was Wang Yufan, a member of the think tank. It was obvious that he had done enough homework to elaborate on this issue from a very objective perspective.

"Auriga 4 is a cold planet. Its gravity is only one-third of the Earth's gravity. It is similar to Mars and is very suitable for industrial development. Moreover, we have discovered a large number of ice minerals on this planet, which can fully meet our needs. The urgent need for water resources…

“…We also need ice to cool industrial environments.”

"For the cold Auriga 4, the probability of gestating life is low. If it is indeed confirmed that there is no life inside, that would be great. The minerals in it can be dug up and used, and there is no need for disinfection or the like. The steps... are simple and hassle-free..."

"I'm sorry, everyone, I really can't imagine what advantages Auriga 2 has over Auriga 4... In addition to life, this blue planet may also have indigenous people, but that's it. From an industrial point of view, it's not It’s suitable for development. It was good to do scientific research and travel in the past, but it’s okay to use it as an industrial base..."

After saying this, he bowed and sat down.
