Chapter 343 Wandering Galaxies

According to Fang Junhuang's order, the "Star Mail" interstellar spacecraft left the main fleet and flew towards the wandering galaxy captured by the black hole...

Its target is the habitable planet in the galaxy that is 1.3 times the mass of the Earth.

35 minutes later, the Star Vein arrived at its destination, but it did not enter the planet's atmosphere, but hovered in its high altitude orbit.

Through the porthole of the spacecraft, you can clearly see the terrifying medium-sized black hole more than 30 million kilometers away, which is enough to devour everything. It is like a huge abyss lying in the starry sky. The dark hole is like a demon's mouth occupying most of the area in the starry sky.

At the edge of its hole, a dense and dazzling light band lingers. The light band perfectly outlines the outline of the black hole. It spys on all the celestial bodies within its gravitational range like the eyelids of a black hole.

Always ready to swallow them.

"It seems that it has just swallowed a star, and that circle of light belts should be the part of the swallowed star, right?" asked Kusil, the staff officer of the "Star Vein".

Captain Shimoda Matsuto nodded, his eyes slowly moved from the black hole to the galaxy captured by it, and murmured: "In more than 3,000 years, it will follow its footsteps, except for a brief circle of light bands, nothing will be left."

After a while, he turned his gaze to the second planet of the star - the star that fostered life.

The sight and where I am located are another scene. The opposite of the black hole that was filled with death before is that the planet in front of me showed a vibrant and magnificent and shocking look.

Under the thick atmosphere, the entire star body shows the beauty of different colors intertwined with different colors, colorful and spectacular, but it is not a bare surface or lake surface, nor is it a plain or mountain, but a natural beauty covered by vegetation of different colors.

Vegetation almost covers the entire planet, including emerald green, bright yellow, orange red and white. These colors are not the colors seen on the earth, but are bright fluorescent colors, just like the kind of light displayed by fireflies.

The vast and colorful vegetation is dotted with large and small green lakes, and they shine like emeralds in the sun.

All the crew members on the Star Mai were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them, shocked by its beautiful scenery, and forgot the mission they were about to perform.

But Captain Shimoda Matsuto did not forget.

"Send an expedition team to land on a detection spacecraft first. After confirming that there is no danger, the Xingmai will land again." He ordered.

"According to the detection results, there is no civilization of any level on this planet. If it is just a giant beast, they are not our opponents at all. There is no need to be so cautious, right?" Kusir said disapprovingly.

Shimoda Matsuto did not respond to Kusir, he stared at the colorful planet silently...

Long before the mission of the "Star Mai", the fleet commander-in-chief Fang Junhuang repeatedly warned him that he must be very cautious before landing, and that he can only land the "Star Mai" after ensuring that there is no danger.

His words are still in his ears.

"Do as I said, execute the orders." He said coldly.

Three minutes later, a detection spacecraft carried an expedition team of 50 people and flew away from the Star Vein. It fell straight towards the atmosphere like a meteor...

After 10 seconds, the detection spacecraft lost its signal.

At first, Shimoda Matsuto believed that this was a short-term signal interruption caused by the exploration spacecraft in the planetary atmosphere due to breaking through the black barrier. However, after 3 minutes, there was still no signal for the detection spacecraft, and it seemed to disappear out of thin air.

After several calls failed, he sent another probe

The spaceship, which he never expected, was exactly the same as the previous one. It lost its signal just 10 seconds after entering the atmosphere.

Half an hour passed, and the Xingmai activated all the detection equipment, but still did not find any traces of the two spacecraft, nor did they receive any distress signals from them, and there was not even a routine report.

Shimoda Matsuto immediately became nervous. Just as he was about to report the relevant situation to the fleet commander-in-chief Fang Junhuang, the first detection spacecraft sent out before sent a signal.

At the same time, its signal characteristics also appeared on the detection equipment of the "Star Mai".

But the second detection spacecraft still has no signal.

The expedition team reported the relevant situation to Shimoda Matsuto. They landed on a swamp, and there was no discovery of any other plants around them except for the tall, lush, colorful and fluorescent colors.

Five minutes later, the second detection spacecraft also sent a signal. It landed in a clearing in the forest, and nothing was discovered except for the endless forest.

Shimoda Matsuto breathed a long sigh of relief.

He didn't understand why the two detection spacecraft disappeared for 35 minutes and 40 minutes for no reason? But according to the situation they reported, it only took 5 minutes from entering the atmosphere to landing.

What happened to the lost 30 minutes?

He quickly reported this situation to the fleet commander-in-chief Fang Junhuang, who immediately ordered the technical department to conduct detailed detection of black holes and related planets.

After further exploration, it was found that because the planet was bound by the gravity of the black hole, the latter's powerful gravity caused the time and space in which the former was located to be distorted.

One day on a planet will be 6 days faster than its high-altitude orbit, which means that if you stay on the planet for 1 day, the high-altitude orbit will pass 6 days.

This can explain why the two detection spacecraft landed in just 5 minutes, while the "Star Mail" in high-altitude orbit feels like 30 minutes has passed, and the difference between the two is 6 times.

This is not the worst. According to calculations, as the planet gradually approaches the black hole, the gravity of the former will become greater and greater. Before it is completely torn apart by the black hole, that is, during the period before it enters the black hole's horizon, the curvature of its time and space will become more and more severe.

In other words, the difference between one day on a planet and one day on its high altitude orbit will become larger and larger, and the limit time will be 10,000 times different, that is, 10,000 days have passed on the planet's orbit.

Of course, this is the extreme situation before the planet enters the black hole's horizon.

Fang Junhuang stared quietly at the flashing of the big screen. Regarding the relevant data calculated just now, he was thinking whether the planet is worth exploring.

"Recalculate how many years does this planet have fallen into black holes in the space and time we are in now?" he asked.

This is a question that must be considered. Once the planet cannot support enough years, he will lead the entire fleet away from here and continue to march towards deep space.

Five minutes later, the calculation results were found that the planet and its galaxy will be completely torn and accreted by the black hole in 326 years, which is 10 times faster than the previous calculation results.

"If we were on a planet, how many years would it take to be safe?" he asked again.

"169 Earth Years." The commander responded.

Fang Junhuang's face twitched slightly. This period made him feel embarrassed. Whether to give up or order the fleet to land here was difficult for a moment.

Judging from the scale of human life, 169 years has lasted for several generations. It can be used as an indicator of the scale of reproduction of civilization, and it seems so insignificant, even like a moment.

Although this planet is not enough to support our civilization to continue to develop, 169 years will allow our entire fleet to grow and will also give us a brief rest," said Staff Secretary Kusil.

Fang Junhuang's eyes looked at the colorful planet under the background of the black hole. It was so beautiful and gorgeous in the starry sky that the entire star field paled in its rays of light.

But its lifespan is only 169 years, and it is not worth mentioning at all under the time scale of the universe.

He recalled Kusir's words again, and what he said made sense. The entire fleet had 1.25 million people, with a male-female ratio of 7:3. 169 years was enough to train several generations of crew members. When their generation of crew members grew old, the new generation of crew members could continue to march into deep space and complete tasks they had never completed.

Only when human civilization has hope and future can it be passed down from generation to generation.

But Fang Junhuang was still hesitant.

"After we found this planet with a lifespan of only more than 100 years, will our mission be completed? It can provide us with a short safe haven, and can also erase our will and destroy our courage to move towards the universe. He said sadly.

"We are an escape fleet. In the process of escape, we can sow the seeds of hope for human civilization in a corner of the universe. Moreover, after we are stable, we can still move into the depths of the universe and find the next more livable planet." Kusir said passionately.

He looked at the planet that gave birth to life and continued: "Although 169 years are short, they are enough to do a lot of things and will change a lot."

Fang Junhuang let out a long breath and nodded gently.

The two exploration spacecraft that landed on the planet carried out exploration and research work on the planet in their respective landing areas. After three days of unremitting efforts, all parameters of the planet were accurately detected.

Its atmospheric gas is composed of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., and the oxygen content reaches 32.5%. Except that the oxygen index is slightly higher than that of the earth, its atmospheric composition is highly similar to that of the earth.

In addition, its gravity environment is slightly higher than that of the Earth, about 1.25 times that of the Earth. An adult's activity on this planet has no significant impact on the Earth.
