The Senate of Gaia civilization held a heated discussion on this, but no matter how it was discussed or even speculated, it could not come up with the result. As for the patriarch of the Paradise Flower Family, Oaks, at this time, quietly retreated from the center of the vortex, as if this matter had nothing to do with the Paradise Flower Family.

At this time, the Pioneer spacecraft, which had been away from Earth for more than a year, has truly left the solar system. The Alt Nebula has been left behind by them. The faint light of the sun is no longer found in the starry universe. In front of them, there is a starry sky that humans have never set foot on.

Now, the distance between the Pioneer spacecraft is more than 2.3 light years away. According to the Pioneer's flight speed, it does not take that long. However, this time they not only want to connect with other cosmic civilizations in the Milky Way, but more importantly, they are preparing for humans to set foot on a space route that has never been explored, thinking that in the future, the Earth civilization will truly face other cosmic civilizations.

Along the way, Pioneer stayed three times, the first time was inside the Alt Nebula, and the second time was at the edge of the Alt Nebula. This time was the first time that Pioneer actually flew out of the solar system and came to other small galaxies.

This stay is of great significance to everyone on Pioneer. According to Earth's understanding of the universe, including the speculation of the Alt Nebula, scientists currently believe that the Alt Nebula is the edge of the outer edge of the solar system, and it is a planetary generation surrounding the solar system. This view is basically recognized on Earth. However, when Pioneer actually flew out of the Alt Nebula, it was completely wrong to find that this view was completely wrong, because they found that the Alt Nebula is just a special area that is isolated from the solar system and other small galaxies. Beyond the Alt Nebula is the existence of a new small galaxy, and not only one, but there are six small galaxies. From any of these six small galaxies, the Alt Nebula is also their edge.

It was not until the people on Pioneer that they suddenly realized why the Earth, as a member of the Milky Way, has not been discovered in advance by other cosmic civilizations in the Milky Way for such a long time. First, it is because the solar system is in the special position of the Milky Way. Judging from the structure of the entire Milky Way, the solar system located in the cantilever arm of the Orion is not in the middle of the Milky Way. But in the remote area of ​​the Milky Way. Second, with the protection of the huge Orte Nebula, the solar system is like a small area hidden deep in the forest. If it weren't for the Gaia civilization accidentally hitting the depths of the Orte Nebula, perhaps other cosmic civilizations would not have discovered that there was a life planet extending in this area full of countless cold planets and comets.

These six small galaxies are all around the Alt Nebula, forming a strange scene. Unfortunately, there is no sign of a life planet in these six small galaxies. Some of their "suns" are smaller than the sun, and some are almost 10 times larger than the sun. There are 7 fewer planets orbiting them, while the most are 42. Just like the small galaxy that Pioneer is flying to its destination now, its "sun" is slightly larger than the sun in the solar system, and its size is about 1.77 times that of the familiar sun, but its mass is only 1.1 times.

There are 11 planets rotating around this "sun", each with different sizes. According to the calculations of the spacecraft's intelligent brain and Su Li, these planets cannot have signs of life because of the distance between them and the "sun". Including the radiation and light of the "sun", as well as various data on revolution and rotation, it can be concluded that these planets are either too hot or extremely cold. In this case, organic life has no living conditions.

Of course, there was a saying in the scientific community that in addition to organic life, there may be inorganic life in the universe. Even according to the origin of life, organic life evolved from inorganic life. Then, a single inorganic life forms another kind of life under special conditions, that is, what people commonly call silicon-based life, is also possible to exist in reality.

This statement began in 1891 by astrophysicist Julius Sheiner of the University of Potsdam in an article that explored the possibility of the existence of silicon-based life. It has been studied and hypothesized by people for more than 100 years, and even boldly described this existence posture in many science fiction novels.

However, Su Yichen clearly knew that theoretically speaking, the existence of inorganic life, that is, silicon-based life, is valid, but in fact, this situation has never happened in the entire Milky Way. Because the reason is very simple, under certain conditions, the probability of organic life being produced far exceeds that of inorganic life. Moreover, organic life has an advantage that incomparable to inorganic life, that is, the evolution of life. In the early stages of life generation, organic life can be produced from inorganic life and thus begin to evolve. Secondly, the individual evolution of inorganic life is naturally eliminated, or this is a feature of life evolution.

This small galaxy was temporarily named the Venus system. This name is quite vulgar, but no one in Pioneer raised any doubts, because when they were detecting this small galaxy, they found an extremely interesting planet in a planet that was third from the "Sun". The material structure of this planet is quite special. In addition, its distance is exactly to a certain extent as the "Sun", and the matter on the planet actually has about 47% of gold metal, which means that this is a planet formed almost with gold metal as the overall structure. The remaining 53% consists of various substances such as silver, selenium, bismuth, antimony, silicon, sulfide, etc., and its volume is about one-third of the earth, and it is a veritable golden ball.

"I can't imagine that if this planet was transported back to the solar system, perhaps the entire Earth would go crazy!" Gao Jian was stunned when he learned about this situation. Everyone knew the value of gold as a precious metal on the earth. As a government official of the Earth Federation, he also knew something, but he never expected to find a planet composed of gold in the universe.

"What's strange about this?" Kevin Adams said easily, "As long as conditions permit, not to mention gold, it's not surprising that even a planet made of diamonds is everywhere. This kind of substance is everywhere in the entire universe, but it's rare on the earth. Besides, you have the ability to transport such a large planet? Young man, don't be stupid. What's the matter if you transport it back? If you lose the value of rare metal, what's the difference between gold and iron?"

"This is...this is...this is..." Gao Jian patted his head and suddenly realized, and then felt a little embarrassed about his fuss just now. Looking at the answers between the two of them, Su Yichen and his wife couldn't help but laugh secretly, because Gao Jian didn't pay attention, but the couple understood. When the material report of the golden planet came out, Kevin Adams also widened his eyes, with a surprised expression, and was better than Gao Jian.

But Kevin Adams is right, the value of rare metal lies in the word "rare". Once it loses its rarity, then this metal will have no difference from ordinary steel in terms of industrial uses. Of course, in terms of industry and even other fields, the stability of gold cannot be ignored. It is not only a rare metal, but also a raw material that has been widely used in many fields.

But for the people on the Pioneer, no matter how much gold is, it doesn’t mean much to them. On the contrary, discovering an element that has never been discovered, matter is the most fortunate thing. However, it takes a long time and a certain amount of luck. The universe is so big and so vast, and the discovery of some special elements, including matter, is definitely not that easy.

After staying in the Venus galaxy for nearly a month, Starry Sky began to move forward. Starry Sky first directly crossed the Venus galaxy with curvature technology and reached the edge of this small galaxy. Then, wait until the stars ahead are confirmed before continuing to sail.

The Pioneer is very cautious and appropriate in exploring the unknown parts of the universe. This can not only avoid losing direction in the universe, but also explore and investigate the areas through which the entire voyage passes one by one. Not long after, the Pioneer left the curvature navigation state at the edge of the Venus system, and after returning to the normal cruise posture, before Su Yichen issued an order to the spacecraft intelligent brain, Su Li suddenly raised her hand and pointed in one direction and shouted: "There is a spacecraft over there..."

"There are spaceships?"

Su Li's reminder shocked everyone. Everyone looked in the direction of her finger at the same time, but the place where the naked eye saw was dark.

"Spaceship? Where is the spaceship? Are they enemies or friends?" Kevin Adams asked nervously, his eyes straggling in the airspace, but he saw nothing.

Su Li quickly magnified the image. After the image was enlarged, they saw clearly that it was indeed an object similar to a spacecraft in a meteorite belt, but because of the distance, and the distance between the meteorite belts, they could only barely see a contour.

"The object is 4210 meters long and 2057 meters wide... It can be judged as an artificial object, the possibility of the spacecraft is 93%, the surface of the object seems to be damaged, and the flight speed is 22 kilometers per second..."

Su Li quickly reported her judgment result. This result was jointly derived by Su Li and the spacecraft intelligent brain, and its accuracy should not be wrong.

The flight speed is 22 kilometers per second? This speed is no longer slow from the previous earth civilization, but from the perspective of cosmic civilization, it is almost like a snail climbing. The flight speed of the meteorite belt is about the same speed, which means that the speed of this spacecraft and the meteorite surrounding it are the same, flying in the universe synchronously.

More importantly, Su Li also pointed out one thing, that is, the surface of the spacecraft seemed to be damaged. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help looking at each other and couldn't speak for a while.

"Is the other party injured?" Luo Yan thought for a while and put forward a hypothesis.

"I think it's possible. Maybe the other party was accidentally during the voyage and used the cover of the meteorite belt to repair it temporarily." Kevin Adams thought for a while and nodded.

"I think it's better to be careful. What if the other party is a pirate in the universe? It's not impossible to hide in the meteorite belt in this way and wait for people to hit you." Gao Jian put forward another view.

Only Su Yichen didn't say anything. He silently stared at the spacecraft that was a little distance from the Pioneer. He didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Captain, what do you think?" Gao Jian couldn't help asking.

What the three of them said makes sense. Su Yichen could not make accurate judgments for a moment, but he subconsciously felt that the possibility that Gao Jian proposed was not high. In the entire Milky Way, the so-called cosmic pirates certainly exist, but the problem is that the area they are in is not the central area of ​​the Milky Way, but a very remote area. It is hard for Su Yichen to imagine that as a cosmic pirate, he would have inexplicably run to this place to rob passers-by. It is almost impossible. You should know that a passing spaceship may not necessarily appear in this airspace for hundreds or thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. If the cosmic pirates were so idiotic, they would have been starved to death long ago.

Maybe this is a spaceship that encountered an accident. Su Yichen felt that this possibility was quite high. He thought about it and immediately asked the Pioneer spaceship to send an inquiry message to the other party. The message sent was sent in a common word for the universe. If the other party is still alive, he should be able to get an echo.

But three hours after the message was sent, the other party still had no reply. The huge spacecraft was flying quietly in the universe like a dead object.

"Let's go over and take a look?" Su Yichen considered this situation and finally made this suggestion.

Everyone thought about it but did not refuse, but Gao Jian still asked the Pioneer to take necessary precautions. They knew nothing about the other party. In case of an accident, at least they had to ensure that the Pioneer could escape safely.

Su Yichen certainly understood that he was not a reckless person, and he decided to move over and could not directly connect with the other party, but just pull the distance between the two parties for observation. Furthermore, the Pioneer carries a special exploration shuttle, which can be controlled by the Pioneer's intelligent brain to detect and scan the other party, and even enter the inside of the other party's spacecraft to observe the situation. Su Yichen ordered the Pioneer to approach the target. When the target reaches a certain level, the Pioneer maintains a synchronous flight distance with the other party, and then begins to release the exploration shuttle to understand the other party's situation.

The exploration shuttle was released smoothly. One hour later, the shuttle entered the meteorite belt. Everyone on the Pioneer stared at the images sent back by the shuttle. When the clear images of the spacecraft were displayed in front of them, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
