Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 457
With the improvement of the astronomical observation technology of the Human Innovation Alliance, the area within a radius of 100 light-years around the solar system has been re-observed.

In fact, the reason for doing this is mainly the order of the Alliance Council, mainly to monitor alien civilizations. If alien civilizations appear within a radius of 100 light-years of the solar system, the possibility of conflict between them and humans is very high.

If their situation can be confirmed in advance, human beings can take precautions and avoid being raided by alien civilizations on the solar system.And Virgo 61, which is only 27.8 light-years away from the solar system, must be one of the targets to focus on.

室女座61一共有7颗行星，以为靠近恒星的距离排列，分别是61b、61c、61d、61e、61f、61g、61h。

其中61b、61c、61d三颗行星是之前就发现的；而61e、61f、61g、61h四颗是最近一段时间发现的。

室女座61b的质量下限是其中质量的5.1倍，因此是典型的超级蓝星。它和母恒星的距离只有0.050201天文单位，轨道离心率0.12。室女座61b于2009年12月14日由凯克天文台和英澳天文台以径向速度法发现。

至于室女座61c、d是气态行星（类木行星），61c的质量是蓝星的19倍左右，无大型天然卫星；61d的质量则是蓝星的25倍左右，有6颗大型天然卫星。

而61e、61f、61g、61h四颗行星，根据天文望远镜的观测结果分析，61e质量和蓝星差不多，61f质量是蓝星的0.7倍左右，61g、61h极有可能是矮行星。

After discussing with David and others, Huang Mude decided to activate the Gaoming Space Telescope to observe the area of ​​Virgo 61c again.

With the assistance of the supercomputer of the space station, one of the four primary mirrors of the Gaoming Space Telescope slowly opened the shield.

Zhang Xianyue entered Virgo 61c on the holographic computer, and the telescope automatically adjusted the angle and focus. Soon Virgo 61c entered the viewing angle of the telescope, and Zhang Xianyue continued to take pictures.

And David, Zheng Dongjiang, and Huang Mude carefully observed the photos one by one.

"David, there is really a satellite appearing in the satellite orbit of Virgo 61c." Huang Mude said while watching.

"But the appearance of this satellite is too weird? It appeared in the satellite orbit of Virgo 61c without warning. Its volume is about 0.2 to 0.3 times that of the moon. How did such a large celestial body suddenly appear?" Zheng Dongjiang said puzzledly.

David also looked confused. They had observed many situations of Virgo 61 before, and it was impossible for such a big mistake to occur.

"If it is a satellite captured by Virgo 61c itself, this is also possible. After all, there are not a few wandering celestial bodies in interstellar space." Huang Mude explained.

"This is indeed possible." David nodded.

"No, look at this photo, it's too strange." Zheng Dongjiang suddenly pointed to one of the photos and exclaimed.

David and Huang Mude leaned over quickly. When David saw the photo, he couldn't help but took off his glasses and wiped them. After putting on the glasses again, the photo was still the same.

"How is it possible? How is it possible to be in this shape?"

"A triangle composed of three spheres is not like a natural celestial body. If it is oval or long, or even irregular, it is possible, but this kind of regular three-sphere triangle..." David was a little confused Get up.

"Xianyue, continue to observe." Huang Mude ordered.

"Okay." Zhang Xianyue quickly replied, obviously she already felt that she had discovered something extraordinary.

In the next three days, the astronomical observation team gathered everyone and started the four main telescopes to observe the entire situation of Virgo 61 intensively.

"It is very likely that it is an artificial satellite or a spacecraft." Zheng Dongjiang put down an observation report and said.

"We re-observed the entire Virgo 61, and found that 61d on the third planetary orbit, and 61e on the third and fourth planetary orbits, all have this kind of triangular satellite. If it is just a triangular satellite, it can be explained by coincidence, then It's no coincidence that there are three of them." David said solemnly.

"We must report this news. The alien civilization that can manufacture such a huge satellite or spaceship should not be underestimated." Huang Mude said decisively.

"I agree."

"I agree."

The others also nodded solemnly.

……

Shanghai - Temporary Headquarters Building of Human Revolution Alliance.

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, Fang Dongliang's office door was hastily pushed open by a figure.

"Chairman, Minister Wang Tu of the Department of Space and Astronautics has sent you a request to speed up the communication."

"Take it here." Fang Dongliang said hastily.

"Yes."

drop!Wang Tu's holographic projection appeared opposite Fang Dongliang, and the assistant hurriedly left the office.

"What's urgent, Minister Wang?"

"Let me make a long story short. It's about alien civilizations. I need the chairman to convene a council immediately." Wang Tu said seriously.

Fang Dongliang immediately felt the seriousness of the matter: "Okay, I will arrange it right away."

After he finished speaking, he immediately opened the drawer. Inside was a red holographic computer. He quickly entered the password and inserted his special ID card.

Immediately, his office changed, and a holographic conference room was formed in an instant. Inside the conference room was a round table surrounded by 13 seats.

Fang Dongliang himself was on one of the seats, and the directors of other seats also went online one after another. After 10 minutes, there was no one except the distinctive throne, and the other 12 seats were already occupied.

The figure of Wang Tu stood in the middle of the round table, and he said solemnly:

"Our smart space telescope at the new Manila space station discovered unidentified objects suspected to be satellites or spacecraft on planet c, planet d, and planet e of Virgo 61 three days ago. This is a detailed report."

A holographic document appeared in the hands of all 12 directors. Fang Dongliang did not look at the document, but asked directly: "How likely is it to be an alien civilization?"

"More than 90% may be alien civilizations." Wang Tu replied.

"Is it the An Luo star we discovered earlier?" Shanuchi asked as he put down the document.

"It's unlikely that it's the Anluo people. Judging from some of the data that has been deciphered so far, the Anluo people's spaceship style is different from the alien civilization just discovered." Wang Tu explained.

"How dangerous are they to Blue Star?" Pushkin asked a crucial question.

"It depends on the speed of the spacecraft of the triangular civilization. If they reach near-light speed or super-light speed, they will pose a huge threat to us. If they don't exceed 10% of the speed of light, we still have time." After speaking, Wang Tu opened the star map near the solar system .

"The distance between Virgo 61 and the solar system is 27.8 light-years, which means that the information we observed was 27.8 years ago. Due to the backwardness of our previous observation technology, we cannot determine whether the Triangular Civilization is the original civilization of Virgo 61 or an alien civilization. .”

"Is there a difference?" asked Kadina of Kazakhstan.

"The difference is very big. If it is the original civilization of Virgo 61, their spaceship speed may not be too fast; if it is an alien civilization, their spaceship speed may be very fast, and may even approach the speed of light or exceed the speed of light."

"Why?" Fang Dongliang asked.

Wang Tu explained: "Because of the distance, the closest galaxy to Virgo 61 is the Gliese 581 galaxy, with a distance of 11.5 light-years; the second closest is the Gliese 371 galaxy, with a distance of 15.8 light-years, and the third closest is Centaurus a, the distance between the two sides is 25.7 light years. If there is no ultra-fast spacecraft, it is very difficult to span more than 10 light years."

"The triangular civilization is a foreign civilization?" Fang Dongliang continued to ask.

"The possibility of foreign civilizations is relatively small, and the possibility of native civilizations is relatively high. We also hope that they are not foreign civilizations." Wang Tu knew that if they were foreign civilizations, their danger would soar.

"Temporarily block the news. You are closely monitoring the movement of the triangular civilization. What suggestions do other directors have?" Fang Dongliang asked with a look around.
