Chapter 586 Strange Binary Star System

Hearing what Xiao Liu said, Zhang Weihua suddenly became stupid. You must know that they are more than 3 light-years away from the Ming Empire. Even if his caravan sails at full speed, it will take more than 1000 years to return to the Ming Empire. Empire, and even returning to the Ming Empire through the wormhole would take hundreds of years.

After all, not all wormholes lead directly to the Ming Empire, and this wormhole does not lead directly to the Ming Empire. According to the various star maps obtained by the Ming Empire from other civilizations, after passing through this wormhole, there is still It takes more than a dozen wormholes to reach the Protoss civilization.

That is to say, it will take Zhang Weihua and the others at least several hundred years before they can return to the Ming Empire, and the most troublesome thing now is that Zhang Weihua and his spaceships simply don't have enough energy to allow them to return to the Ming Empire.

After all, it would take hundreds of years to reach the Ming Empire even if he was flying non-stop in the universe. As a space merchant, his spaceship would never carry so much energy. After all, his original route was only from the Ming Empire to the Protoss. It's just civilization, and the round trip is only a few thousand light-years away, but now there are tens of thousands of light-years between here and the Ming Empire.

What's more, the universe has never been a safe place. Even such a short journey from the Ming Empire to the Protoss civilization has countless dangers, not to mention the hundreds of years of flying from here to the Ming Empire, space pirates, star storms, etc. Anything can destroy their fleet.

After all, the size of their fleet is too small. Except for one real space battleship, the other two are transport spaceships. It is too risky to reach the Ming Empire safely, but fortunately, although their The fleet only has one space battleship and two transport ships, but there are still a lot of good things in the transport bed.

"Xiao Liu, how far is the nearest star to us? Since the time for us to reach the Ming Empire is too far away, we must find a way to replenish energy, otherwise we will not be able to reach the Ming Empire with the energy in our spaceship, and we will not even be able to reach the Ming Empire." We can’t even travel half the distance. After all, it’s more than 3 light-years away from the Ming Empire. Even if our spaceship has enough energy, we can’t get there. What’s more, due to this conflict, the energy on our spaceship has already been exhausted. Less than 1/3, if we don't do something, we may never reach the Ming Empire."

"Boss, the nearest star to us is about six light-years away. Although this is not the famous barren star field in the Milky Way. After all, the barren star field is thousands of light-years in size, but the density of stars here is not denser than that of the barren star field. Even The distance between stars is greater than that around our solar system, but the overall range of this star field is only a few hundred light-years, which is incomparable to the barren star field where our solar system is located."

"Okay, I see. We will now fly to the nearest star system to see if there is any energy we need."

Afterwards, Zhang Weihua and the others flew towards a star system about six light-years ahead.

The distance of five or six light years is not too far away for Zhang Weihua and his fleet. After all, the speed of the spaceship produced by the Ming Empire is not so fast, and it can even be compared with the sixth-level civilization. When sailing at warp speed, It can reach 40 times the speed of light, and even the civilian merchant ships of the Ming Empire can reach 30 times the speed of light, so it doesn't take long to reach a distance of five or six light years.

But at this time, Zhang Weihua was a little unconfident. Although there was a star five or six light years ahead, he had not found any planets around this star or the existence of planets through the observations of various instruments. , and it is very likely that this perseverance has passed his middle age and entered the stellar old age.

However, the technology of the Ming Empire has not reached the level that can directly mine energy from stars, so if there are no planets in this galaxy, Zhang Weihua will not be able to develop energy at all. Although there may be some asteroids in this galaxy, even if it is There are asteroids, which can provide very little energy.

So Zhang Weihua and the others must now find a galaxy with planets, and it is not enough to just have planets, but also to create a planet that can be transformed with their power, or a planet with life, only in this way can they rely on the spacecraft equipment to collect personnel.

In fact, Zhang Weihua hopes that there will be a living planet near this star and that there is an intelligent civilization on this mysterious planet, and it is also a high-level intelligent civilization, so things will be much simpler.

But Zhang Weihua looked at the star in front of him, he shook his head secretly, and told him rationally that it is impossible for life to be born near such a star, and even the possibility of planets is very small , Even the radar in the spacecraft showed that there were no planets around this star, let alone life planets.

However, Zhang Weihua still had a sense of luck. After all, he was five or six light-years away from the star before, and even radar was sometimes inaccurate, so he still had to go and take a look in person.

But after arriving in this star system, the reality still made him very disappointed. As the previous radar showed, there were no stars at all in this star system, and there was not only one star in this star system. A binary star system with two stars, and because the distance between the two stars is very close, the previous radar detection has been greatly affected, so it is impossible for planets to exist in this star system, let alone life , in the entire star system, only a few medium-sized meteorites can be found at the edge of this star system, and even larger meteorites have not been found.

Although Zhang Weihua is very disappointed in such a situation, he is actually prepared in his heart. After all, not every star system in the universe will give birth to planets, let alone every star system will give birth to intelligent beings. Intelligent life, although disappointed, Zhang Weihua still conducted some investigations on the two stars in this solar system.

Although Zhang Weihua is a universe trader of the Ming Empire, he still needs to record some special places in the universe. At present, it has a territory of three to four hundred light-years, but although it is not uncommon to have a star system with two stars like this, there are not many, not to mention that the two stars are so close to each other. Neither did the Ocean of Light controlled by the Ming Empire.
