Earth Era

In the data restored by Ye Luo from the alien device, in addition to the letter left by the Martian, there are some other messy information. ▲∴Top▲∴Point▲∴小▲∴ said, x. But this information is of no use to Weifeng. Therefore, after the Martian remains and the disassembled parts were preserved, and a comprehensive inspection of the Xinghai spacecraft was carried out, Wei Feng went into hibernation once again.

The long voyage continues. Wei Feng's journey has gone through more than three-quarters, but there is still nearly a hundred years of journey ahead to meet Wei Feng.

This time has passed very peacefully. Everything was fine, except that every time he woke up, Ye Luo reported that there were several more flashes in the direction of the solar system, which made Wei Feng a little upset.

When it woke up for the third time, when the Xinghai spacecraft was less than one light-year away from Alpha Centauri a and b, and about 0.6 light-years away from Proxima Centauri, the Xinghai spacecraft was equipped with For the first time, a high-precision optical telescope took pictures of the planet orbiting stars a and b, the planet named Blue Night Star by human civilization.

With the dark and deep space as the background, there is a very dim light spot in the middle of the photo. Not far from it are two large, hot and bright fireballs. One of the fireballs is larger and has a yellow-white color, while the other fireball is smaller and reddish in color. Against the backdrop of these two large fireballs, the small light spot was even more dim and inconspicuous.

But this small spot is the destination of Weifeng's voyage for hundreds of years, because it is the only planet in the Nanmen two-three star system, and it is also the only available foothold after Weifeng's voyage to the Nanmen two star system. Moreover, if the original Martian civilization really reached the Nanmen two galaxy... they must have descended on this planet.

The diameter of this planet is smaller than that of Mars, and its mass is slightly larger. Its surface gravity is about half that of Earth, but its surface temperature is much higher than that of Earth. Calculated based on the latest observations of leaf fall. Wei Feng knew that the temperature above it was at least 800 degrees Kelvin.

The temperature of 800 degrees Kelvin is not enough to break the protection of the spacesuit. At most, the energy consumption of the spacesuit will be faster, but higher temperature means stronger star energy, which is very beneficial for collecting solar energy and saving spacecraft fuel. , From this aspect, the temperature of 800 degrees Kelvin is more suitable for Weifeng.

When I woke up for the fifth time. The image of the Blue Night Star finally changed from a small point of light to a disk, and its topography was barely discernible from it. Wei Feng saw the high mountains and vast plains above it, as well as some shadow areas, which Wei Feng speculated should be huge impact craters. There is obviously no atmosphere on the Blue Night Star. Without the atmosphere, there is no weathering and erosion, and these impact craters can be preserved for a long time.

It was also when he woke up this time that Wei Feng finally saw Proxima Centauri, a dim and small red dwarf star with his own eyes. When Wei Feng stood by the porthole of the spacecraft, he could see it hanging quietly in the sky, shining a faint light with the thousands of stars in the universe.

At this moment, the distance between Wei Feng and it is only less than 0.2 light-years. The distance from the sun is four light-years. But even so, the sun is still brighter than the red dwarf star. It's too small, its radius is only 15 percent of the sun's radius, or 1.5 times the radius of Jupiter, and its mass is too low, it's only 12 percent of the sun's mass, or... ...one hundred and fifty times the mass of Jupiter.

Wei Feng is still carrying out the maintenance of the Xinghai spacecraft. Over time, as the destination gets closer. The situation of the Xinghai spacecraft is getting worse and worse, but it can still barely function. Perhaps due to Wei Feng's dedicated maintenance work, although the Xinghai spacecraft had frequent minor problems, major failures like the fuel leak never occurred again.

A few months later, Wei Feng once again entered into hibernation. This time Wei Feng will last for thirteen years of hibernation. At the same time, this is also Wei Feng's last hibernation before entering the Nanmen two galaxies.

Nanmen 2 is a triple star system after all. Although the distance between Proxima Centauri and star a and star b is very far, so passing the orbit of Proxima Centauri can barely be regarded as entering the Nanmen two galaxies.

Yes, the next time it wakes up, the Xinghai spacecraft will reach the closest point to Proxima Centauri. According to the latest calculation, this distance is 550 billion kilometers. About twenty-one light days away. The Xinghai spacecraft will pass Proxima Centauri above this distance, and will not stop here at all, but will continue to go deep into the heart of the Nanmen II galaxy.

Thirteen years passed in a flash, and Wei Feng woke up from his slumber once again. For Wei Feng, time seems to have lost its meaning, and Wei Feng has completely lost his sense of the numbers on the timer that change every ten years. Because... 10 years is just the time for Wei Feng to take a nap.

At this moment, it has come to the closest point to Proxima Centauri. There is a mission to observe Proxima Centauri in the Island Project. Although the human government has been divided and Wei Feng has long been forgotten, Wei Feng is still faithfully abiding by his duties. Wei Feng carried out the mission of going out of the cabin again and again, moving out the various instruments that were originally stored in the warehouse and manufactured hundreds of years ago, and then installed them on the bulkhead of the Xinghai spacecraft, okay Let them expand their observations of Proxima Centauri.

The distance of 550 billion kilometers is still very far away, but this distance is close enough for the distance in the universe that is often calculated in light-years. At least, apart from Wei Feng, no one in human civilization has ever approached a red dwarf star like this.

Those instruments did not disappoint Wei Feng. They have taken numerous observations and taken pictures that clearly reflect the activity on the surface of Proxima Centauri. To Wei Feng's surprise, the star, despite its small size, is not peaceful.

There is a photo that clearly shows this. In the specially processed photo, Proxima Centauri's strong magnetic field penetrates its photosphere and chromosphere, and then connects the corona and the magnetic field inside Proxima Centauri, and the energy stored in it suddenly Outburst, forming a strong flare burst activity.

The flare activity is somewhat similar to that of the Sun but with some subtle differences. Such outbursts on Proxima Centauri would even more than double its brightness in a short period of time and eject a large amount of coronal material.

The Weifeng, which is only 500 billion kilometers away from it, can detect these brightness changes with the naked eye, but people in the solar system cannot do this. Because it is too far away from the solar system, and it is too dim, even if the brightness of Proxima Centauri is increased by ten times, or even a hundred times, humans in the solar system still cannot see it with the naked eye.

In addition to observing Proxima Centauri itself, Wei Feng is also trying to find some asteroids or companion stars that may exist around Proxima Centauri, or some scattered material belts like the asteroid belt through the occultation method. But in the end, Wei Feng was disappointed, and the area where Proxima Centauri was located appeared to be empty in Wei Feng, with nothing left but itself.

It is of course impossible to be completely empty. The place where there are stars is the place where the matter is very rich in the universe. Although Proxima Centauri is small, there must be comets, asteroids and the like orbiting around it. It's just that they are too small, and Wei Feng can't see them.

The observation of Proxima Centauri continued for several months, and as the distance from Proxima Centauri gradually increased, the satellite wind finally gave up on this matter. The observations during this period made Wei Feng realize that Proxima Centauri is just a very ordinary red dwarf star, and there are no planets around it, so it is not of much value. Although it is the closest to the sun, even if human civilization has the ability of large-scale interstellar navigation, it is estimated that it will not be regarded as a port of call for interstellar navigation.

The real worthwhile goal is still ahead of Weifeng. There are two bright suns there, and a hot, but very stable terrestrial planet. If you want to build a space base, it can provide a very sufficient source of material, and those two suns can provide a sufficient source of energy... …

It is the best port of call for interstellar navigation~www.readwn.com~ But...Whether human civilization will finally use this port of call, Wei Feng does not know.

After passing through Proxima Centauri, the distance between the Xinghai spacecraft and star a and star b is still about 0.2 light-years away. This meant that Wei Feng had to sleep two more times before finally reaching his destination.

In the past few months, Wei Feng has completed the observation mission of Proxima Centauri, the routine inspection and maintenance mission of the Xinghai spacecraft, and also completed its own recovery training mission. The scheduled hibernation time has come, but Wei Feng did not enter the hibernation cabin.

"Ye Luo, at this moment we have reached the two galaxies of Nanmen." Wei Feng said, "We have even crossed the orbit of Proxima Centauri. Then I think...the encrypted files that the head of Keller left in your database. The information can already be decrypted, right? Give them to me, and let me see what kind of arrangements the Führer Keller made..."

"Okay Captain, please wait a moment." Ye Luo replied. (To be continued..)
