The last human in the universe

Chapter 150 Enlargement
At this moment, in the entire Yuanhang spacecraft, more than 60 people are waiting for the battle, not daring to relax for a moment.

Because people don't know when the next order will arrive, nor what the next order will look like, so they can only wait like this.

This will undoubtedly lead to another increase in the energy consumption level of the Yuanhang spacecraft, which is obviously worse for the already insufficient energy reserves, but there is no way.In times of crisis like this, it has to be done.

Even if it is drinking poison to quench thirst.

At this moment, this high-precision radar all-sky scan is based on such a background.It is precisely this level of vigilance that made people discover this time.

"Send unmanned spacecraft to salvage."

Zhao Changxing immediately issued an order.

An unmanned spacecraft quickly flew towards the place more than 2000 kilometers away according to the positioning and guidance of the Yuanhang spacecraft.And through the camera and observation equipment equipped on the spacecraft, people can really see its appearance in the optical band.

It was a metal object with an irregular shape, about 0.6 meters and 0.4 meters at the longest and widest point, and about 0.25 meters at the thickest point.

It has a roughly curved shape with some bumps and dips.

People don't know what it is, but it is certain that it must not be a natural creation.

This unmanned spacecraft carried a simple material research room.This avoids the need to bring unknown objects into the Yuanhang spacecraft to analyze its structure and elemental composition, avoiding potential dangers.

Therefore, in this simple material research room, people remotely controlled various research and analysis equipment, and began to study it.

After the initial research, people got some shocking data.

First of all, what is certain is that the substances that make up this material are some elements that people are very familiar with, such as iron, nickel, copper, gold and so on.But it is not a simple alloy.

The so-called alloy is actually just a simple mixture of various elements.But for this material, different elements are "combined" together in a state that people cannot understand.And this has led to a huge difference in its external physical characteristics from any of the previous constituent metals.

In a comprehensive analysis, this "combination" is somewhat similar to metal hydrogen that can only be produced under extremely high pressure.

Metallic hydrogen is also a hydrogen element, but its material properties are quite different from ordinary hydrogen.

This is somewhat like a new type of "alloy" made by a principle similar to metal hydrogen, but its technology is obviously beyond that of metal hydrogen.

Subsequent performance tests also proved this point.In the laboratory, people have tested them separately by means including but not limited to radiation, extrusion, tearing, impact and so on.The result of the test is that the performance of this material exceeds any known material.

It doesn't even need to rely on the principle of explosive reactive armor like metal hydrogen to defend against electromagnetic gun projectiles with extremely high kinetic energy.It can block the electromagnetic gun projectiles just by relying on its own toughness.

However, people know that metal hydrogen can only be produced with mature technology after entering the third level of civilization.

If the performance of this piece of material exceeds that of metal hydrogen, and its technology has not even been mastered by a third-level civilization, then...

This piece of thing looks like it was torn from a larger piece of material.The various depressions and protrusions on it also seem to prove the fate it has suffered.

Is that a fight?In a certain battle, a spaceship made of this super-performance material was destroyed by another spaceship, so this piece of wreckage was torn off, and then wandered in the universe for an unknown amount of time before it happened. Was it seen by your side?
Is there any relationship between this piece of wreckage and the "kinetic energy thief" that our side encountered?
Zhao Changxing thought for a moment, then gave another order.

"Fire the flares. Search everything in our vicinity."

A flare that is suitable for interstellar space and is usually used to assist optical and infrared telescopes to search for targets was fired, and exploded thousands of kilometers away from the Yuanhang spacecraft.

The light it emits is enough to make all objects within a radius of 100 million kilometers, with a reflection area of ​​more than 5 square meters and an albedo not too low, reflect enough light to be resolved by ultra-high-precision optical telescopes.

This is a supplementary detection method for sky survey scanning radar.

After that, Zhao Changxing also sent a number of small spaceships to places ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the Yuanhang spacecraft, and there, using himself as the center of the circle, launched all-sky radar and optical scanning, as far as possible. It is possible to perfectly search for any objects that exist in the surrounding area.

In this case, more objects suspected of wreckage were searched out.And, all of these things had features similar to the first wreckage ever found.

That is, these objects all have routes and speeds that are highly similar to those of the Yuanhang spacecraft at the moment.

It's like... just like the "kinetic energy thief" hidden in the dark deliberately stole a precise amount of kinetic energy from the Yuanhang spacecraft, so that it happens to have a similar course and speed to these wreckages.

This is another thing to watch.

During this search operation, a large number of things with various shapes, or things like a stone, an iron lump, or an iron rod, were collected by the search spacecraft.

What caught Zhao Changxing's attention in particular was that quite a few of these things were engraved with images, just like words.

"Are these images text? If they are really text, then the strokes and structure of this text are too complicated."

It is obviously impossible to decipher these texts at this stage because the sample size is too small.Even with a sufficient sample size, it may not be possible to decipher the meaning.

The words of advanced civilizations already have very complicated meanings.At the present stage, human civilization has only completed the deciphering of the texts of the Moyun Litar civilization, which are familiar to Viragash and others. The specific text in it has not yet been deciphered.

Even the meaning of some words of deep space civilization has not been deciphered.

At this moment, the civilization that created these "wreckages" in the first place is very likely to have a higher level of technology than the Moyun Litar civilization.In the face of such a civilization, don't even think about deciphering it.

However, people still recorded these words and left them for future research.

During this large-scale search, something caught Zhao Changxing's attention.

It was probably a cylindrical thing with a length of about 10 meters and a diameter of about 1 meter. It seemed to be torn from something larger.

There's a big hole in it, like something broke it.Inside, there are some incomprehensible, circuit-like things, and there seem to be some components on it.

This is different from those pure alloy-like materials.In this thing, it is likely to contain some technical details about that advanced civilization.

This has aroused great interest.

Although the prospects are still unclear, if we simply compare it, if we can get a glimpse of the technical details of advanced civilizations from this suspected creation of advanced civilizations, then the gains will be enough to make up for the loss of kinetic energy of the Yuanhang spacecraft. stolen" loss.

A small scientific research spacecraft flew over, carefully "salvaged" it, and immediately analyzed it in the internal laboratory.

The dexterous mechanical arm went deep into the cylinder through the hole, carefully observing the structure and shape of those suspected circuits and components.A group of scientists discussed its possible use.

But at this moment, under the vacuum state, under the light touch of the mechanical arm, some faint blue light appeared inside the cylinder.

"Ok?"

It seems that some mechanism is triggered.

People suddenly raised their hearts.But then people remembered that this was not in the Yuanhang spacecraft.Even if there were any unknown risks, what was lost was nothing more than a small scientific research spacecraft.

Having said that, there is still some tension in people's hearts.

Those wonderful faint blue rays of light flashed and changed, gradually forming a picture.

In the slightly dim light, people saw the sky full of stars, saw the huge bright stars, and saw the aircraft in the picture that only showed a corner because of the shooting angle.

That appears to be the ship's outer armor.

In the picture, there seem to be some small bright spots in places that are very far away.

"enlarge."

"Yes."

The image captured by the camera on the robotic arm expands rapidly until it occupies the entire huge screen.

After the picture was enlarged enough, people finally saw clearly what one of the small bright spots was.

It was also a spaceship.A ship whose gigantic size can be felt even without a point of reference.

It appears to be a space carrier.Because people saw that there were more small bright spots coming and going in this spaceship.

"What is the resolution of this projection?"

"I don't know, try?"

"Okay, zoom in again."

"Yes."

The picture began to enlarge again, so this huge screen with an area of ​​several hundred square meters couldn't fit.The camera on the robotic arm aimed at a corner of the screen and started shooting.

The picture is rapidly expanding, and it is presented in front of people, as if people are advancing rapidly along the lens.
