I am a great scientist

Chapter 584 Weird Signal

In the Milky Way, the Oryun galaxy, a small fleet sailed rapidly in the silent space.

In the flagship command room, there is a large screen in command. Asteroids galloping at high speed fly by from time to time, and the star system ahead becomes clearer bit by bit.

"Successfully arrived at the source of the signal for advice, slow down the speed of the ship, and wake up the crew." The synthesized voice of the flagship brain echoed in the flagship command room.

Soon, there was a burst of 'chic' sound from the hatches of the dormant cabin of the fleet, and the hatches of the dormant cabins were opened one by one, and the entire fleet came to life. One wakes up from hibernation.

"Are you there? What time is it now? Report the location!" The commander-in-chief of the fleet, Liu Zhenhui, came out of the dormant cabin and immediately asked the flagship brain.

"Commander, it is now the federal calendar: June 257, 6, we are now located at T22, B432, U333, Z221, 448 million kilometers away from the main star of the Oryun galaxy, and the eighth planet from the Oryun galaxy, the signal for advice originated The area is 5.7 million kilometers.” Flagship Zhinaohui reported.

Liu Zhenhui nodded, and while wearing the command uniform, he ordered: "Have all the detectors been launched? Have you found any valuable information?"

"Commander, the detector network has been fully deployed, and it is detecting the entire galaxy, but it has not been found yet." The flagship brain responded.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui frowned, and after putting on his military uniform, he hurried to the flagship command room.

After the first fleet of the Galactic Federation entered the hinterland of the Dark Zerg-dominated star field and lost contact, the Galactic Federation, the Human Federation, and other civilizations lost contact with six fleets one after another. Seeing that the war with the Dark Zerg was won, this At that time, the front fleet continued to lose contact, and the discovery of this situation has attracted the attention of the Galaxy Federation.

How could the fleet disappear without a sound?Is it the return of the Dark Zerg, or the invasion of unknown civilizations.

Now all the main fleets of the Galaxy Alliance are retreating, and various scouting fleets are attacking in all directions, searching for the lost fleet, and investigating the reason for the fleet's disappearance.

The Auer cloud galaxy is a large galaxy about five times larger than the solar system. The mass of the star-Auer star is 3.8 times that of the sun. The effective gravitational influence diameter of the entire star system is as high as 3.7 light-years. It is located in the spiral arm belt of the Milky Way galaxy , is encapsulated in a star cluster.

90% of the matter in the Milky Way is stars, and there are many types of stars. According to their physical properties, chemical composition, spatial distribution and motion characteristics, stars can be divided into five star families.

The youngest extreme population I stars are mainly distributed in the spiral arms of the galactic disk; the oldest extreme population II stars are mainly distributed in the galactic halo.Stars often gather into clusters. In addition to a large number of binary stars, more than 1000 star clusters have been discovered in the Milky Way.There are also gas and dust in the Milky Way, whose content accounts for about 10% of the total mass of the Milky Way. The distribution of gas and dust is uneven, some gather into nebulae, and some are scattered in the interstellar space.

The reconnaissance fleet shuttles through the vast galaxy of the Milky Way, just like small shrimps in the ocean. Compared with it, it becomes inconspicuous. However, to the vast and boundless universe, the Milky Way is just one of its countless galaxies. Just a tiny galaxy.

In such a huge universe, there are countless possibilities.

Liu Zhenhui silently stared at the big command screen, watching the monitoring dynamics on the monitoring screen.

Time passed bit by bit, unconsciously, a month passed.

The reconnaissance fleet gradually sailed into the core area of ​​the Oryun galaxy, and even appeared at the position closest to the signal emission signal, but they still found nothing. Except for the planetary system in motion, everything in the empty galaxy seemed so desolate and silent.

Space navigation is a very hard work, especially long-term missions such as long-distance voyage and reconnaissance, where you have to leave the parent star for a long time, the silent space environment, the unchanging astronomical landscape, the boring voyage, and the open universe. The sense of powerlessness, ..., the accumulation of various negative factors for a long time will cause various negative effects in the hearts of intelligent creatures.

"Commander, you have been on duty for 10 consecutive days. It is recommended that you go to sleep immediately to adjust your mood." The flagship intelligent brain suggested to Liu Zhenhui.

"Well, I'll go there later, hasn't the detector responded effectively yet? Is it the wrong location?" Liu Zhenhui nodded and asked a little irritably.

The universe is full of various force fields, special environments, signal sources are interfered, and wrong position judgments are easy to happen.

"Commander, this is the last confirmed location of the signal source. The signal has disappeared, so we can't continue to identify it." The flagship brain replied Liu Zhenhui.

"Damn, it's like this again. This is the first time. What's the matter with that signal? It's intermittent. It can't just stay in one place obediently." Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui's face darkened and he cursed angrily.

"Commander, this signal source may be evading pursuit, or it may be in a state of interference." An adjutant on the console guessed.

"There is also a possibility that this signal may be a bait, which keeps luring us to follow and lure us into the trap." As soon as the voice fell, another adjutant guessed.

"Think too much! This signal uses the Federation's military code, and it should be the Federation's missing Second Fleet."

"The information carried by the signal is too vague to explain anything at all!"

……

At the command console, the technicians made various guesses about the abnormal phenomenon of the distress signal, and they were all confused by the distress signal.

Looking at his subordinates who were discussing, Liu Zhenhui became restless for no reason.

This reconnaissance mission has not been smooth, and they finally arrived at the source of the distress signal, and the signal for advice jumped a long distance,...Unknowingly, they have penetrated deep into the place where the Auryun galaxy is located. cluster.

Feeling being teased, Liu Zhenhui was extremely depressed, and even wanted to give up chasing.

Suddenly at this time, the flagship brain said: "Commander, I found that distress signal again, it appeared in this small line, 7000 million kilometers away from us. "

As soon as the words fell, the holographic large screen showed a constantly flashing red dot, which was located in the asteroid belt attracted by a giant gaseous planet. That gaseous planet was like Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Many star systems exist One of the types of planets.

However, unlike the gaseous planet Jupiter in the solar system, this gaseous planet is very close to the star, only about 5000 million kilometers away. Like this gaseous planet, they belong to a kind of 'hot' star.

When the giant planet is formed to a certain size, its gravitational force can open a gap without gas in the orbit, and the gas speed inside it is faster than it, and the gravitational force of the giant planet makes it lose its orbital speed, thus approaching the main star. But; the gas outside it The speed is slower than it, and the gravitational force of the giant planet makes it increase the orbital speed, so that it is far away from the main star, so the gap is formed, and no longer grows, and the star body itself has a tendency to migrate to the main star,....

……

Due to the violent internal activities of the gaseous planets and the violent planetary winds, various substances will be ejected, and the huge mass itself has a strong gravitational force, which eventually causes many asteroids to revolve around them. The location of the signal for advice is precisely this Asteroid belt formed from gaseous planets.

"Start the tunnel monitor immediately and lock its position!" Liu Zhenhui excitedly ordered.

"Commander, the tunnel monitor has been activated, and no special situation has been found!" The flagship brain replied.

As soon as the voice fell, the command screen changed, showing a close-up dynamic image of the asteroid belt. Except for the asteroids with different shapes and devastated by the planetary wind, there were no special objects at all, and even more Not to mention launching spaceships of the asking for advice model.

"Why is it like this again, what's going on!" Liu Zhenhui asked frantically, his eyes widened.

"Commander, the current phenomenon is an unknown and special phenomenon. It is recommended to return to the base first, report the situation, and wait for the base's instructions." The flagship intelligence brain provided Liu Zhenhui with a solution.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui frowned, unwilling to accept the assistant execution suggestion of the flagship brain.

In the vast universe, interstellar marches will encounter all kinds of unexpected phenomena, such as encountering strange civilizations, accidentally discovering biological stars, or discovering special astronomical phenomena..., there are so many things, in order to help the commander deal with these difficult issues, the Federation' Intimately equipped the flagship brain with various auxiliary implementation regulations, and provides implementation suggestions in the most conservative and appropriate way.

Right now, this unknown distress signal is included in the scope of this special enforcement regulation. When the commander cannot handle it correctly, the flagship intelligence brain provides suggestions. Of course, the commander-in-chief of the entire fleet has the greatest right, and Liu Zhenhui can refuse it. Execute it, and change other action plans. However, once a major accident occurs, he will have to bear a huge price for it.

After weighing it for a while, Liu Zhenhui's face became serious. Looking at the big command screen, he ordered to the flagship intelligence brain: "Report this phenomenon to the base, and there is no need to return. Keep going. I want to see what's going on!"

"Understood, Commander!" The flagship intelligence brain responded, wrote Liu Zhenhui's order into the navigation 'log', finally compiled the message, activated the tunnel communicator and prepared to launch back. At the same time, the huge fleet continued to accelerate and head towards the signal source The birthplace galloped away.

After a few seconds, the flagship intelligence brain suddenly reported: "Commander, an unknown phenomenon has occurred. The tunnel communicator cannot perform ultra-long-distance links, and the communication function cannot be activated!"

"What! What did you say?" Liu Zhenhui's complexion changed drastically, and he asked in horror.

After listening to the report of the flagship brain, the staff on the console collectively panicked, and they quickly launched an investigation.

"Commander, the periphery of the star cluster is disturbed by unknown space energy, and the ultra-long-range tunnel instrument cannot work normally."

"Commander, the wormhole shuttle is affected by unknown interference and cannot be activated!"

"Commander, the space-time energy inside the star cluster is normal, but the outer layer of the star cluster is disturbed by unknown space-time energy, and the activity frequency of space-time energy cannot be stabilized!"

……

The investigation soon came to a conclusion, and the operators all turned pale, looked at Liu Zhenhui in confusion, and reported.

Discovering this situation, Liu Zhenhui panicked for a moment. Once the ultra-long-distance tunnel communication is lost, the wormhole tunnel shuttle means that they will lose contact with the base and the possibility of returning to their home planet.

Ultra-long-distance tunnel communication and wormhole tunnel shuttle, these two technologies are the most basic standard equipment for interstellar navigation. The reason why human civilization can enter the interstellar era so quickly, develop efficiently, and stand out among the intelligent civilizations of the Galaxy Federation, these two The mature development of this technology plays a vital role.

"What caused it? Is it man-made, or is the galaxy formed naturally?" Liu Zhenhui asked the flagship brain nervously.

"Commander, the think tank is analyzing, and the results are temporarily unavailable!" The flagship brain replied.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui's breath became short of breath, and a bad premonition floated in his mind.

There will be such a coincidence, the abnormal distress signal, which can shield the tunnel communication signal, and isolate the space-time energy of the wormhole,... Is it true that this galaxy has always hidden an enemy that they have not noticed?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhenhui's heart trembled, and he ordered loudly: "Enter the wartime state immediately, turn the bow of the ship, and break out of the star cluster first."

"Obey, Commander!" The flagship intelligent brain responded to the order, and immediately, the scouting fleet turned their bows in unison, driving the engine to spray particle streams crazily, the fleet accelerated violently, and fled with their lives.

The operators on the console opened their eyes wide, staring at the big holographic screen, searching for the enemy that hadn't appeared yet.

"Where is our enemy?"

"No! Life detectors, metal detectors, and unmanned reconnaissance fleets all found the existence of the enemy."

"The main naval guns of the whole ship have all been stored, and the auxiliary guns are ready to be continued..."

……

After a moment of panic, the technical officers on the console restored order one after another. They carried out the wartime preparations in an orderly manner, looked at Liu Zhenhui one by one, and waited for his order.

No enemies appear?Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?
Facing the strange eyes of his subordinates, Liu Zhenhui couldn't help but blushed a little, but he quickly recovered, looked at everyone with a serious face, and ordered: "Continue to be vigilant, the space-time energy of this star cluster is abnormal, and the signal for advice is abnormal , we must pay attention to relevant trends.”

"Obey, Commander!" Everyone shook their heads and took orders in unison, and began to concentrate on monitoring the command screen, looking for clues of the 'enemy'.

Time is passing, and two days have passed since the transfer, the enemy has not yet appeared, and the scout fleet has already left the core area of ​​the Oryun galaxy.

Just when everyone on the ship was expecting to leave the Auryun galaxy safely, a large group of asteroids were discovered in the outer layer of the Auryun galaxy, and they were flying towards them according to the established orbit.

Soon, under Liu Zhenhui's timely order, the fleet pierced through the oncoming asteroid swarm.

"No, those, those asteroids can move!" At this moment, a terrified voice sounded like thunder on the dry land, and everyone was stunned.
