Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 894 A Wandering Planet

The path of derivative technology has been made clear. After a large amount of time accumulation, humans have finally made breakthroughs in some fields. The good news is planetary warp drive technology.

In the 108th year since arriving at the natural wormhole, humans completed the test run of the fourth-generation warp engine, and in the next six months completed the stabilization experiment of this planetary-level warp engine.

The creation model of the gravity bomb also appeared shortly after the successful experiment of the fourth-generation warp engine, but its principle is somewhat different from the fourth-generation warp. It does not distort and flatten the space like the warp, but is a force field bomb.

When it explodes, it can trigger chaotic gravitational waves at the black hole tidal level with varying levels. It is a bomb that is only effective when it hits someone face-to-face.

At the same time, good news came from the research on the super star destroyer cannon. It was said that the direction of its realization had been determined, and there were no problems in the model simulation and mathematical calculations. The next step was to start manufacturing objects for various performance tests.

Yue Yuan read the report, which clearly pointed out the length of the super star destroyer cannon. Its force field acceleration part exceeded 300 kilometers, and it was confirmed that it could not be placed on the current Tianqin, so the Tianqin had to be built anew. As for how big it would be, that would depend on how big the final version of the super star destroyer cannon was after all the tests were completed, as well as other equipment and facilities.

As for the super star destroyer cannon, it is in the same line as the star destroyer cannon and both are kinetic weapons. However, those scientific research teams that insisted on another route did not give up because they accidentally discovered some phenomena during the research process, which are said to be related to tachyons.

According to their initial speculation, it might be a new type of tachyon. Members of several scientific research teams all believed that it might be the tachyon that humans have been looking for that can be used in superluminal energy weapons.

This is undoubtedly good news.

It was at this time that Yue Yuan received another message.

Perhaps because there have been news reports of breakthroughs in applied technology in the past few years, Yue Yuan thought that there had been a breakthrough in another technology. Before opening the information, he thought that it might be a breakthrough in real shield technology. He also hoped that there would be a breakthrough in real shield technology.

Because as long as there is another breakthrough in shield technology, the size framework of the new battleship can be finally determined.

However, when he saw the content of the message, he was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he murmured unconsciously: "A planet drifting in the interstellar space?"

Yes, in the information report, it was clearly written that the probe had discovered a rogue planet, and the planet's relative movement direction was towards the star region where the Covenant fleet was located.

Yue Yuan took a look at the source of the information and confirmed that it was accidentally discovered by a Red Flame Civilization exploration vessel that was currently conducting a surveillance patrol mission at the outermost edge of the Star Alliance fleet.

It was indeed an unexpected discovery. If this planet had not happened to be heading towards the star region where the Covenant fleet was located, it would probably not have been discovered. After all, a planet is actually no different from a speck of dust in the interstellar space.

Unless we approach head-on, it would be difficult to discover a planet floating quietly among the stars even with level 4 civilization detection technology.

The information report said that the planet was about one light year away from the Star Alliance Fleet. If humans stayed here, the wandering planet would drift to the Star Alliance Fleet in about a hundred years.

According to the initial detection report, the planet is quiet, with no signs of thruster tail jets, and no light from spacecraft tail jets was found around it. Therefore, the Chiyan man who sent the detection report said that it might be a natural wandering planet, and the specific situation needs further detection.

The Red Flame Civilization's exploration spacecraft is also equipped with a third-generation warp engine, so once it gets closer the detection news should be transmitted back soon.

Since there was nothing else to do, Yue Yuan turned and went towards the command center, intending to check for follow-up news there.

There are wandering planets in the interstellar space. Generally, wandering planets in the interstellar space are caused by the capture of various planets during the formation of the star system or in the subsequent evolution process. Because the entire system is still unstable, this situation may cause some planets to be thrown out of the star system and become wandering planets in the interstellar space. Wandering planets may be rocky planets or gaseous planets. However, because rocky planets have a relatively small mass, most wandering planets in theory are rocky planets. Of course, there are also celestial bodies with smaller masses.

So Yue Yuan was not too surprised when he saw this situation.

However, when he arrived at the command center to learn more about the detection situation, a strong curiosity appeared on his face.

When Yue Yuan arrived at the command center, the follow-up message had already been sent over, and several astronomers were already analyzing the information here.

Seeing Yue Yuan coming over, one of the astronomers who was staring at the holographic screen in front of him turned around and greeted him.

"Is this... a 3D scan of the wandering planet?" Yue Yuan asked as he moved closer to look at the holographic screen.

"Yes, it is a 3D image generated based on the latest detection data."

The person who replied was the astronomer who had just greeted Yue Yuan. Yue Yuan remembered that his name was Xian Donggui, but he didn't remember how old he was. He was a scientist engaged in research in the field of extreme celestial bodies.

After Xian Donggui said this, he reached into the holographic screen and fiddled with the 3D planet image inside, turning it around, and then enlarged it a little bit. Then he continued, "Look, General Manager, there are obvious technological creations on this planet. These bulges should be planetary engines, but they are currently turned off."

Planetary engine!

Yue Yuan looked at the magnified area and saw that there were indeed things that looked like mountains. The size and height of these things were also clearly marked in the scanned image. It was definitely a planetary engine.

A total of 30,000 seats!

"It is confirmed that it is an artificial wandering planet. From the latest information sent back, the level of creation on this wandering planet is at the second-level civilization level. Whether there is still life on the planet requires further exploration." Xian Donggui added.

"Yeah." Yue Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

Soon the latest detection information was transmitted back and was imported by Xian Donggui into the holographic screen for imaging.

Yue Yuan watched quietly from the side.

As the data was input, several more pieces of information about the wandering planet appeared on the holographic screen. One of them was represented by a dotted line. Yue Yuan knew that it was the drifting route map of the wandering planet.

The image shows that this wandering planet will pass by the star field where the Star Alliance is located in the future, and then move forward, aiming directly at the yellow dwarf star in front.

"Is this an interstellar voyage with the mother planet?" Seeing this situation, Yue Yuan muttered with interest.
