Beneath Deep Space

Everyone looked at the screen anxiously, there was no chance of desertion. Some even rubbed their eyes heavily and stared intently...

People were surprised to find that there was almost nothing on the screen!

There is no distinctive radiating ripple pattern, just a small dot in the center of the screen representing the telescope itself…

There is nothing all around!

Yu Yifeng couldn't help but asked: "What's going on? Professor Thomson, how are you? Has the debugging been successful?"

It’s not that he talks too much, it’s just that he is really worried!

And everyone has this worry. If this thing breaks down, humanity will be in big trouble! Without gravitational wave telescopes, people would not be able to figure out where they are in the universe!

"It should be... no problem!"

Professor Thomson, who was in charge of the relevant operations, studied it and said in a positive tone: "This is the universe, not the solar system. It is normal not to find the mass source. We just need to expand the search range."

"Since the speed of the spacecraft is very fast, we have to consider the relativistic effect, because the propagation of gravitational waves is also the speed of light, so the formula needs to be transformed..."

As he spoke, he tapped on the keyboard, entered the relevant parameters, and then pressed Enter.

The range to be searched this time is relatively large, about ten light years. In theory, stars more massive than the moon will be searched.

A star as big as the moon is the lowest standard set by mankind. Planets that are too small can only be regarded as meteorites, and the mineral resources inside are often incomplete and not in large quantities.

It is not easy for humans to have the opportunity to sail at such a high speed. It is impossible to stop because of some meteorites unless it is absolutely necessary.

People must set their sights further afield...

There are too few resources in the meteorite pile. If they are used up, and humans have not developed long-distance navigation methods, wouldn't they be trapped alive and waiting to die?

Therefore, it is best to have a rich planet like the earth.

But Mars is so-so...it would be better if it were a bigger planet!

Soon, the search image came up.

There is nothing special within ten light years...

There is only one white dwarf-mass star where the sun once was. Yes, the sun may evolve into a white dwarf after a violent explosion, but this process is still being formed.

In very far away places, there are only a few stars and corresponding planets, which are hundreds of thousands of miles away from the trajectory of Noah. Human technology is completely incapable of seeing them.

Everyone was slightly disappointed. Fortunately, the gravitational wave telescope "saw" something after all, which meant that it was not damaged.

"According to the sun as the stationary frame of reference, the current speed of our spacecraft is 0.9816 times the speed of light, which is faster than previous estimates."

"In this way, time will expand even more. One year inside us is equivalent to 5.24 years outside. In other words, the year and a half we feel is about 8 light years out of the solar system?"

"That's true...the error is quite large."

The scientists drew many conclusions from the images and discussed them quietly.

"What a pity, there are no planets in front of the trajectory!"

Although this kind of thing is disappointing, it is also expected. The universe must be empty, and it is almost impossible for a lone star to appear inexplicably.

But the matter is not over yet!

What they have high hopes for is still the star system numbered "187J3X1", which is about 14 light years away from now. It is a close binary star system.

It consists of two stars, one large and one small: one is a dwarf yellow star with a mass of 0.97 times the sun, and the other star is much larger than the sun, about 1.53 times the mass, and its luminous brightness is 1500 times that of the sun!

In a close binary star, when one star fills its equal surface, its material will flow to the other star on a large scale, causing a mass transfer.

This situation will have a huge impact on the evolution of close binaries.

The two stars that make up "187J3X1" orbit each other once every 1283.3 days. When the two sides rotate to the closest point, there will be a strong flow of material affected by the mutual gravity, and they will be continuously thrown out of the star.

Some of these ejected materials may run near the companion star and form material around the star, or they may break away from the entire binary star system and fly into interstellar space.

All in all, the total amount of matter in this binary star system is greater than that of the solar system. And because matter is constantly ejected outward, planets are likely to form in relatively peripheral places!

The trajectory of Noah's movement is that the closest point to the main star of "187J3X1" is 0.67 light-years, which is not particularly far away. After all, the solar system's range of influence is one light-year. Maybe people can find a planet in the outer areas?

"Expand the search scope." Yu Yifeng said solemnly.

Professor Thomson entered the relevant parameters with trembling fingers.

At this time, who can feel at ease? This detection can mean the future of mankind. Even the most lenient people cannot be lenient!

If no planet is found, people will have to sleep in hibernation chambers!

After a few seconds, the image came out.

It seems...not nothing!

People looked at the screen anxiously and held their breath.

Gradually, their faces turned rosy, and they noticed something was wrong, as if, it seemed, maybe... a planet?

No, not just one, but many. The "187J3X1" star system has at least 38 planets larger than the moon! 10 of them are larger than the earth!

The closest one seems to be on the trajectory of Noah?

In a straight line? !

Is it true? !

"Measure the data quickly, quickly, quickly!"

Yu Yifeng screamed wildly, he felt like he was hit on the head by a colored ball... No, he was hit on the head by a nuclear bomb! Many people had the same idea, and some people with poor psychological quality even fainted in excitement, which also caused a small wave of riots.

In fact, people have been prepared for long-term struggle and long-term hibernation, but suddenly it seems that the salted fish has turned over and come back to life, which is incredible!

The universe is so big that it is unimaginable. If the sea and water molecules are used to describe the relationship between the universe and the planets, it is simply a contempt for the universe.

But now, people fly around randomly, and they can actually encounter a planet? Is it true?

Yu Yifeng didn't know what words to use to describe his mood. It was like shooting randomly and hitting a ping-pong ball a million kilometers away! Is the probability of this happening one in a hundred million or one in a billion?

This is simply a pie in the sky! Or it hits directly on the head!

Maybe it was the great sun that helped humans when it pushed Noah?

Or... humans are the illegitimate children of the god of luck? !

Yu Yifeng was a little worried. He even felt that this thing was a gas planet or a planetary spacecraft of aliens!

If it was a gas planet like Jupiter or Saturn, humans would be happy for nothing.

With the current technology of humans, it is impossible to capture the materials of gas planets...

Wow wow wow wow!

Everyone present was shouting loudly. They were not as worried as Yu Yifeng. Everyone's emotions began to go crazy, and they were expanding rapidly like balloons.

Originally, they just had a little expectation, but they didn't expect it to be successful! What kind of luck is this? It's like buying a lottery ticket and witnessing yourself winning the prize with your own eyes.

People looked at the images on the screen with great excitement, and the ecstasy in their hearts was like a volcano erupting.

"The distance difference is about 120 million kilometers, which is not far and acceptable."

"The overall density of the star is about two-thirds of the earth... The radius is about twice that of the earth, so its volume is eight times that of the earth! The gravity is about 1.33 times that of the earth, and humans should be able to bear it."

"Such a density is a planet! An earth-like planet!"

The gravitational wave telescope can not get much data, but it is enough to prove that it is an earth-like planet! A gas planet cannot have such a high density!

An earth-like planet!

"Ahhhhhh!" "fu*k!" "Baga!" "Grass!"

After these data came out, everyone cheered, and some people couldn't help cursing. At this moment, no one cares about the image of others, and they are all immersed in crazy joy.

Even Yu Yifeng was shouting and venting his emotions to his heart's content!

Even the person who just fainted came back to life and started to jump around!

It seemed that everyone heard the endless cheers in the spaceship, as if everyone in the spaceship was cheering at the same time.

What does an earth-like planet represent?

It represents energy, resources, and countless minerals, especially... its volume is eight times larger than that of the earth!
