1046 Wandering Planets

In order to prevent the enemy from discovering the tracking of the Seed Origin, the Seed Source deliberately opened a safe distance from the Shell Ship, just to ensure that the position of the Shell Ship did not exceed the maximum detection range of the magnetic sensor, so when it was discovered that the Shell Ship was slowing down, the Seed Source had enough time to slow down, so as not to overtake the Shell Ship and expose its tracks.

Jiang Xue calculated that the herdsman had broken away from the speed of light according to the number given by the magnetic sensor, and immediately terminated the faster-than-light flight of the Seed Source without hesitation and returned to normal space.

Ye Fei's spirit was lifted: "Have you arrived at the place?" ”

"Probably not, the optics didn't find any stars." Xia Zhuoyan manipulated the optical system to conduct a 360-degree observation without dead angles, and he didn't dare to say that a star in the vicinity within more than ten light years guaranteed that it was not bad.

Ye Fei's eyebrows stood up like a knife: "Then what did they stop for?" Could it be that there is a dark star here? "There are so many brown dwarfs in the universe that if there is a brown dwarf here, the unexpected behavior of the Ranches would be explained.

"Probably not." Xia Zhuoyan said, "The detector didn't find anything. ”

Brown dwarfs are not impossible to detect, and if they are far away, brown dwarfs will be difficult to detect due to distance, but the straight-line distance between the provenance and the hull ship is less than one light minute.

Although brown dwarfs do not emit light, they are celestial objects with a mass close to that of stars, and they can be detected by indirect means.

Ye Fei couldn't help but wonder if he should send a message to Feng Lei, who studied the stone ball, and ask the expert for his professional opinion.

"It's moving, it's accelerating!" Xia Zhuoyan suddenly shouted.

"Quick, keep up!" Ye Fei hurriedly commanded.

The provenance sped up rapidly. The Hull was always included in the detection range of the magnetic sensor, and after a while, the Hull entered the speed of light again, and the Provenance had to continue to track, which was three days.

Ye Fei was embarrassed to find that he was really thinking too much, because the herding ship was in too much hurry to find the right direction when fleeing the pulsar, and had to break away from the faster-than-light correction course!

On December 29, 2219, the Ranch Shell was more than 30 light-years away from the pulsar after eight days away from the pulsar.

This time, as soon as the provenance returned to normal space, it spotted an orange star not far away.

The magnetic engine of the tong guò is still attached to the herding ship. The Ranch can be spotted flying towards the vicinity of the star.

There is no need for Ye Fei to order. Xia Zhuoyan, who had already done it, did not delay for a second, and immediately began to observe the situation of the stars, and at the same time, Jiang Xue drove the battleship to the edge of the galaxy and stopped.

The large screen on the bridge immediately showed the inside of the galaxy. To everyone's surprise. There is only one planet around the star. And this only planet is actually located in the center of the habitable zone!

Needless to say, the target of the Shell is definitely this planet!

Xia Zhuoyan immediately aimed the camera at this lonely lone seedling. A vibrant planet appears in everyone's eyes.

"I'm going, isn't it, this place can also find a habitable planet with such a good environment? According to the division of stupid big ones, it's at least a second-class planet, right? The black bear's tone was extremely exaggerated, like seeing an ant carrying an elephant on its back.

The words of the black bear were clueless, but the members of the ship were all professional soldiers who flew in the sky all day, and they all knew some astrophysical knowledge, and everyone understood the meaning of the black bear.

Jiang Xue waited for a while and found that no one spoke, so she explained: "It's not strange, it's true that there is only one planet in this place, but apart from this planet, there is not even a single asteroid to be found, is there a difference if there is a giant planet?" ”

The emergence of habitable planets does not depend on chance, but there are certain laws to follow.

The first is that the situation of the star must be stable, and there will definitely be no habitable planet near the star that has lost its temper in three days.

Secondly, the distance between the planet and the star must be appropriate, this condition is the most important, and the difference is a thousand miles, even at the edge of the habitable zone, it can become barren.

The planet's own environment is indispensable, sufficient water and a suitable climate are indispensable, and the planet's own magnetic field must also be strong enough, otherwise the solar wind from the star will blow away the planet's atmosphere.

Next, it is best to have a giant planet acting as a shield in the outer orbit of the planet, which can use its majestic body to block small objects from the edge of the galaxy from the inner galaxy, reducing the chance of the planet being hit by small bodies, and escorting the development of the planet's ecosystem.

After hearing this, the black bear carefully looked at the enlarged image on the screen, and finally nodded and said, "It's really happy, it's really only such a planet, and this place is too clean, right?" ”

"I think there was only one planet here before the supernova exploded, and when the supernova exploded, all the small bodies were blown away, which made this place so empty." Jiang Xue continued to speculate, "Maybe this planet is not native here, but a wandering planet that happened to be caught by the gravitational pull of the star. ”

She felt that the latter guess was more likely than the former, otherwise there was really no way to explain why there was only one planet here.

"Wandering planets?" The wolf cub asked in surprise, "It's not that coincidental, is it?" Just flew to this place and cut into the center of the habitable zone? ”

"The universe is so big, there are many coincidences, I wonder if this planet was originally a habitable star in a certain galaxy." Jiang Xue said, "It's not strange that a wandering planet is looking for a star again, and it's not strange that it happens to be in the middle of the habitable zone." ”

"Hey, I've always heard about wandering planets, wandering planets, it is said that there are many such planets, I said sister-in-law, can you tell me how this thing came about?" The wolf cub asked curiously.

Jiang Xue glanced at Ye Fei: "Boss? ”

Ye Fei nodded: "Let's talk about it, I'm also curious." ”

The shepherd ship flew here like a monk returning to the temple, the standard monk can't run the temple, and the provenance also needs some time to collect information about the galaxy and the enemy, and there is just a gap for a while.

Jiang Xue organized the language in her heart and said: "As far as I know, there are only one terrestrial planet stars in the universe, but there are not many, so I think this is an alien star......"

The corners of the wolf cub's mouth twitched slightly, and a thought was sent to the scissors in his mind, and the scissors grinned and interrupted Jiang Xue's words: "Wife, the wolf cub please let me sue you, please tell you the point!" ”

The wolf cub almost fell headlong: "How can you betray your comrades?" (To be continued......)
