Chapter 1: Target! Meteor belt!

There has never been a moment when everyone was so looking forward to the darkness.

There has never been a moment when mankind was so embarrassed that there were only more than 120,000 people carrying the continuation of all mankind.

At this moment, the Hope passed through the condensed nebula material and sailed into the normal dark space of the universe. In this one, everyone, including Yao Yuan, including the members of the Black Star Team, including Zhang Heng and Jie Weili,

Including soldiers and scientists, including technicians and engineers, including more than 120,000 people, everyone felt a deep sense of relief.

During the few months of sailing in the nebula material, just as Yao Yuan envisioned, since it was impossible to suppress, and could not be suppressed, then these people were absorbed into the ruling class of the Hope. In other words, the people were given

With this understanding, the Nozomi is the hope of everyone, not the government of Nozomi, and the isolation of the people of Nozomi.

Therefore, almost all the citizens of the Hope were given jobs, residential areas were allocated, and some secrets were gradually told to the people... In fact, there was no need to disclose it at all. These people had already worked deeply into all aspects of the Hope, including supplies.

In terms of management, of course, most critical supplies are independently controlled by the military.

But this does not affect the public's speculation. Among the more than 120,000 people, there are many smart people. In fact, there are almost no fools among the more than 120,000 people. Think about it, maybe one or two so-called elites may be

Arrogant fools or idiots who look down on others, but if more than 120,000 carefully selected elites underestimate their IQ, then the underestimated talents are really idiots.

In fact, even before the industrial and housing reforms were carried out, some smart people had already guessed that some accidents might have occurred on the Hope. Of course, there is no need to delve into these matters... The key is that at present, when people's various industries have penetrated into the Hope

As a whole, except for the fifth and sixth floors, which require a job title or approval, or places guarded by the army such as the crystal reactor, you can basically enter and exit at will.

Because of this, during the past few months of sailing, these people have roughly guessed the amount of supplies carried by the Hope, and have basically calculated the survival time of the Hope in the void, although it may be different from the actual number.

One or two years, but the difference will not be too big. In other words, the Hope can only continue sailing for about five years at most. This has basically become the consensus of more than 120,000 people.

However, such speculation is slow. It was gradually made known to the public within a few months, and the people were slowly exposed to the Hope, and their duties were also deepened after the Hope. It was left to them to know. The result was just like Yao

As Yuan expected, it is better to absorb than to suppress. When one becomes the so-called "one's own" people, one's own people will always protect their own people.

The situation on the Hope was exactly the same. The food waste was greatly reduced, and the daily energy consumption was several percentage points lower than usual. People with jobs showed the greatest enthusiasm for work, and the entire Hope was in order.

, as if these are not people struggling to survive in the universe, but the vitality potential bursting out of newly developed countries.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of enthusiasm and restraint will not last long. If it really comes to the last moment, despair or something else may appear...

But hope came so suddenly. After sailing in the nebula for several months, I originally looked at the dim blue vastness around me. This situation has been used by everyone. Suddenly, the dark but real universe appeared.

Space has appeared in front of you.

This is a newborn star system. At this moment, the Hope rover has left the nebula material, and various detection methods can already be used. Because of the desert planet, as soon as it left the nebula material, the Hope rover slowed down and even stopped.

After being placed in the universe, the next step is to use various detection methods to detect this star system.

The detection results were completed that night, that is, around 8 pm Earth time, and lasted about nine hours. Then, all the information was summarized in the large conference room, where Yao Yuan discussed with many scientists.

"This is a Cenozoic star system. The stars in this galaxy have just entered the main sequence star stage from protostars. In fact, we speculate based on the nebula material behind the star that this star is probably in the stage between protostar and main sequence star.

In the middle stage of the star, it can be said that this is an excessively young star."

An astral scientist was holding a report and talking carefully on the stage.

The so-called birth of a star is currently a generally accepted speculation in the human scientific community that the nebula material is extremely condensed. Just like the dense nebula material where the Hope was previously located, ordinary nebula material often spreads out for several light-years, or even

A range of tens of light-years, when viewed from an extreme distance, naturally looks like clouds and mist, but when you are actually inside it, you cannot see any matter or color with the naked eye, even those that spread over a range of tens of light-years.

In the nebula, the content of atomic particles in the universe is much less than the vacuum environment that human technology can create, and it can be directly recognized as a vacuum.

To reach the point where the naked eye can see a vast expanse and directly show dim blue light, this has directly demonstrated that the nebula material has condensed, and it has condensed to an extremely high state, and such a state is exactly what the human scientific community

The known star formation process.

The formation of stars is like this. A large amount of nebula material condenses, because the most abundant nebula material is hydrogen. After a large amount of hydrogen condenses, when it reaches a certain level, it will collapse due to excessive mass, and then the gravity of the material will

Potential energy is converted into thermal energy. When the temperature of the protostar, that is, the core where a large amount of matter is condensed, reaches about 7 million degrees, nuclear fusion will occur, causing the temperature to slowly cross to 10 million degrees. Until then,

Eighty to ninety percent of the nebula's material has been absorbed, and stars are finally born.

The star currently observed by the Hope is in the final stage of star birth, that is, it is about to absorb the last part of the nebula's condensed material. The nuclear fusion reaction has begun to occur inside it, and it is about to become a stable burning star.

of stars.

"In other words, our Hope has been sailing in stellar matter before?" Yao Yuan was sweating after hearing this, and he still felt panicked when he thought about it.

The scientist on the stage is a world-famous astral and astronomical scientist. He is being questioned by some non-astral universe scientists. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Major, those nebula materials are not considered stellar materials, they are just

It will just become a part of the star in the future. Of course, this is actually something to be thankful for. If the material in these nebulae were not so scarce, I am afraid that at the sailing speed of the Hope, it would not be able to reach the border even if it sails for another hundred thousand years."

Yao Yuan nodded and asked again: "Okay, let's put aside the issue of protostars for now, what about the galaxy? Will there be any major disasters in the star system at this stage?"

The scientist on the stage was stunned for a moment, then smiled again and said: "No... of course, Major, you have to know that this is the first time we have observed such a scene from close range, a burning star, behind it

Still absorbing a vast expanse of blue nebula material, this is simply a miracle in the history of science. Of course, the fact that we can stand here and watch all this is already a miracle in itself..."

"Currently, the star is steadily absorbing nebula material, and at the same time, the internal temperature is gradually increasing until it completely becomes a main sequence star. Nothing will happen during this period. Secondly, this star system is also still being born. From then on,

From the photos we took, we can see that within the scope of our observation, no earth-like solid planets and no gaseous planets have been found. There is another planet about half a month's sailing distance from the Hope.

There is a huge nebula material, and there is a meteorite belt surrounding this nebula material.”

"Based on our observations and calculations, as well as comparison with some pictures of stars that have been observed on Earth, we can basically confirm that this nebula material is likely to become a gaseous star in this star system, and those meteorite belts are likely to

It will become a meteorite belt similar to the rings of Saturn. Of course, there are very few meteorites in this area, and the meteorites there are also very small in size, but what follows is the highlight of this observation..."

The scientist excitedly pressed something on the stage, and soon, a picture was projected on the large wall of the conference room behind him using light and shadow technology.

The scientist excitedly pointed to a certain spot on the picture and said: "Everyone, please look here carefully. Okay, I will gradually zoom in..."

"This is a real large meteorite zone, and many meteorites have even been combined together. Do you see it? This is it!"

The scientist became more and more excited as he talked. He said with a red face: "This is the initial stage of an Earth-like planet! Later, when the mass and gravity work, a large number of meteorites and various materials will be combined and condensed.

When put together, this will form an Earth-like planet. Of course, that may take hundreds of millions of years or more, and we will not be able to see it..."

"However, please note that there are countless meteorites in that area, and the largest ones are even more than ten times larger than the Hope. Those meteorites are rich in iron, copper, and other metals, and they must contain a large amount of radioactive materials.

, such as uranium ore, or even, this is a newborn galaxy, this is an earth-like planet that is being born, there may be many precious minerals on it that only existed when the world was first born, and disappeared with the half-life...

…These are all possible!”

The last sentence of this scientist expressed Yao Yuan's inner thoughts.
