1220 Danger is everywhere
Six hours later, the fleet was moving away from the speed of light near a red dwarf, the third target designated by Professor Xie, and the hour hand pointed to midnight on February 26, 2223, and was about to enter the early morning of the 27th.
However, the battleship Xinyuan, to be precise, the entire fleet was stunned, and no one went back to the dormitory to rest, and all gathered in the fleet to wait for this moment to come.
It's not that everyone's consciousness is so high that they have to sleep endlessly, but Ye Fei ordered that before the fleet breaks away from the shock wave, everyone is not allowed to take off the combat armor, so that even if they return to the dormitory, they can't lie down and rest, anyway, they are wearing armor, and they can directly enter a deep sleep by starting the forced sleep program, and staying on the bridge is completely no different from staying in the dormitory.
The fleet detached from the speed of light, and the dazzling red of the front screen faded abruptly. It is estimated that the lens of the bow of the ship has aged to the point of not being in shape. You don't have to look to know that you can't see anything on the front screen except for a red patch, the situation on the side screen is much better, and the back screen is not affected at all.
Ye Fei was surprised to find that the concentration of the shock wave here seemed to be much lighter than before, and then he suddenly felt that the luminosity on the right hand side was darker than that on the left hand side, and before he could turn his head to see it clearly, Yi Qi, who had turned his head first, suddenly pointed to the porthole like a ghost, and jumped up in surprise.
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was a violent gasping sound in the bridge, almost pumping the bridge into a vacuum.
Even Ye Fei, who has always considered himself well-informed and has superhuman concentration, is no exception - the shadow outside the port side is a huge terrestrial planet suspended outside the window, and the battleship is almost surrounded by the gorgeous aurora in the outer layer of the planet's atmosphere!
If you just get off the speed of light, it's a little off. The whole fleet will crash headlong into the planet!
Ye Fei's eyes almost didn't pop out, and his heart pounded: "Quick, stay away from this guy!" The distance between the two sides was so close that Ye Fei felt that the fleet might be pulled by the planet's gravity at any time.
In normal times, this kind of accident will definitely not occur, but this time is different from the past, and the lens of the front of a battleship is aging; Second, the crimson background light affected the observation of the optical system, which led the battleship to get too close to the planet when it was out of the speed of light.
Yi Qi, who was frightened for a while, hurriedly steered the battleship away from the planet, but fortunately, the other warships were not near the planet when they left the speed of light, and fortunately, none of the battleships verified the surface hardness of the planet.
"How's the ship?" Ye Fei asked.
The red dwarf star designated by Professor Xie is on the side of Xinyuan, and the distance from the fleet is no more than two astronomical units. If it weren't for the faster-than-light coordinates, it would be too terrifying. This time the faster-than-light flight was perfect.
"One qiē is normal!" Liu Lei replied.
"Old Xie?" Ye Fei picked a high note in his tone, which was used to express his doubts.
Professor Xie said unhurriedly: "There is a primary ecological planet in this galaxy, and I want to see how it is. ”
"Understood." Ye Fei nodded, "Xiao Xia." Did you hear that? ”
"Understood. Searching for planets...... Got it! Xia Zhuoyan immediately enlarged the target. A distinct dark red spot appears on the side screen.
"Liu Lei, contact other units, let's lean over." Ye Fei ordered.
The Xinyuan lingered in place for a while under Yi Qi's manipulation. After conveying Ye Fei's order to all the warships, all the warships set sail at the same time according to the pre-agreed time, and flew near the spot in the blink of an eye.
This time, the fleet was far enough away from the superluminal position to be far enough away from the planet, but after the battleship stabilized, the sight in front of them also startled everyone.
The shadow was not a primary planet at all, but a pair of binary star systems consisting of two terrestrial planets of similar mass.
Although double stars are rare, they are not a new thing, and the most you can do is to take a second look, but this pair of double stars is completely different from the past.
I saw that the surface of the two planets in the shock wave was faintly electrified, and from time to time there was a floating arc rising, and suddenly two electric snakes rose from the surface of the two planets, and the two planets with a distance of half a light second actually released a super-large-scale lightning in the universe like two electrodes!
The peaks on the surface of the planets were directly vaporized by lightning, and the opposite side of the two planets was scorched black, and it had long been damaged.
"I'll go, that's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Ye Fei was also afraid for a while, if he had moved a little further just now, the fleet might have been swept into the lightning.
How high is the voltage at which lightning can be formed between the two planets? Breaking through the insulation of the battleship is certainly not a problem.
"It's not surprising." "The magnetic fields of these two planets must be relatively weak, or even have no magnetic fields, and in the absence of magnetic field protection, a large amount of electric charge will accumulate due to the impact of shock waves. You see, the two planets are locked to each other, and just one planet is right between Betelgeuse and its companions, and after blocking the shock wave, the planet will accumulate a large amount of charge in a very short time...... Well, all in all, it's quite complicated, and I'm going to need a little bit of research to find the exact answer. ”
Although Professor Xie has a little bit of an eyebrow in the direction of research, the old professor who has never seen this phenomenon will never talk to death until he is supported by actual evidence.
Professor Xie's explanation seemed to be understood by everyone, but fortunately, no one approached to get to the bottom of it without knowing the depths.
"Hundreds of thousands of kilometers of lightning is really spectacular, but these two are not ecological planets, right?" Ye Fei said suspiciously.
"Mistakenly, I remember that ecological planet is on the inside of the binary star, look for it again." Professor Xie said.
"Xiao Xia, don't make a mistake this time." Ye Fei said.
"Yes!" Xia Zhuoyan secretly stuck out her tongue, but fortunately, she was wearing combat armor, so no one could see her expression at all.
The battleship again began to search for the planet, and only after a few minutes did it find a target on the other side of the star.
Since the star here is a red dwarf with a relatively low mass, the planets are extremely close to each other, and in order to prevent accidents, the fleet flew closer to the target with unusual caution, and for the sake of safety, did not even fly at the speed of light, but slowly approached it in the conventional way.
It took a little time to get to the vicinity of the target planet, and finally confirmed that this planet was Professor Xie's target.
In order to prevent the planet itself from accumulating too much charge, the fleet did not dare to get too close, and could only use optical systems to observe the surface of the planet from a safe distance. (To be continued......)
