526 Blue Star

A red stream of light suddenly flashed in the empty universe of nothingness, and a magnificent colorful light radiated from the end of the stream, and then the streamlined Sky Eagle appeared in the colorful light.

"After the super-light speed, the control system is normal!" Jiang Xue, who was driving the warship, gave a routine report.

"The fire control system has been self-tested and everything in the weapon system is normal!"

"The battleship coordinates are correct, and everything in the optical system is normal!"

"Zoom in the target star and put the picture on the main screen." Ye Fei ordered lightly.

Observing this star with the naked eye from the position of the Sky Eagle can only be regarded as a brighter star in the starry sky. Without the optical system to enlarge it, it is impossible to see the true face of the star clearly.

Che Qi immediately executed the order, pulling the star in front of the battleship closer. A star emitting yellow light appeared on the screen. The optical system automatically locked the four planets orbiting the star, and marked them one by one on the screen with conspicuous white. Some blurry small celestial bodies were also pulled out by the optical system.

"This is Kepler-22? It's nothing different!" Ye Fei murmured to himself softly, "Let's go!"

In the past few months, Skyhawk flew at least one planetary system every day. There are countless star planets passing by, flying over a distance of more than 600 light years. At least a dozen planets with ecosystems and dozens of habitable planets were discovered. However, the planetary system in front of you has a completely different meaning from other galaxies, because this is Kepler-22, and the first planet located in the habitable zone determined by humans is here.

The Skyhawk set sail again, this time there was no need to use crystal acceleration. It only used a superluminal engine and flew to the edge of the galaxy in a short while.

However, the location where the Skyhawk arrived was not the ecliptic plane of this galaxy, but was looking down at the galaxy from above. Because the distance was closer, the warships showed the entire galaxy through the optical system, quickly indicating six planets and a large number of small celestial bodies.

The scissors exclaimed in surprise: "This place looks like the solar system!" Others made a voice of agreement at the same time.

To be precise, this is like a simplified version of the solar system.

The first line of Kepler-22 is a desolate small earth-like planet, which can easily remind people of Mercury; the second planet is Kepler-22b discovered two hundred years ago, and the slightly blue planet gives people a vibrant feeling; the third planet is barely located at the edge of the habitable zone, and is an earth-like planet with a very large diameter. It is initially estimated that its diameter is six times that of the earth - Jupiter's diameter is more than eleven times that of the earth. This huge solid-state planet has a mass of 100% greater than that of Jupiter.

The fourth planet and the fifth planet are two gas giant planets. The sixth planet is an ordinary gas planet.

There is a sparse asteroid belt between the third planet and the fourth planet. There are two gas dwarf planets with a diameter of only over 2,000 outside the sixth planet. In addition, there is a Kuiper belt with small celestial bodies densely distributed around the galaxy. Several hidden dwarf planets with extremely long orbital periods were also found by the optical system.

Ye Fei was so excited when he saw the blue color of the second planet. He immediately ordered: "Hurry. Zoom in the second planet!" The reason why the Sky Eagle flew here was to see what this planet looked like.

The second planet immediately occupied the entire main screen, and the neat sound of air pumping in the bridge almost sucked the bridge into a vacuum.

"It's so beautiful!" Jiang Xue exclaimed sincerely.

The surface of the second planet presents a beautiful blue-blue main color. The blue-blue color is the color of a large ocean. The vast sea is full of spots of all sizes. They are countless islands distributed on the surface of the planet. Slices of white clouds dotted in the planet's atmosphere like garlands. Three satellites of varying sizes are suspended outside the planet. If three satellites appear in the sky at night at the same time, it will definitely be a wonder.

"Boss, the data is out!" Che Qi put the preliminary detection report on the edge of the main screen. "The diameter of the planet is two and a half times that of the earth, the average surface gravity is 1.4 times that of the standard gravity. The atmospheric components are mainly nitrogen and oxygen, of which oxygen accounts for 20%, the sea surface temperature is above zero 22 degrees, there is no ice cap on the poles, and the surface area of ​​the star surface is covered by the ocean, and the land accounts for only 9%."

"Only nine percent? That's so small!" Ye Fei's hot heart suddenly became cold.

All the data on this planet is waving to human immigrants, but how many people can immigrate with such a small amount of land?

"Shao?" Che Qi was stunned, his face flushed and wanted to stop talking, not knowing what to say.

"Captain, the data is not calculated like this." Li Rui, who has not spoken, explained in a rigorous scientific spirit, "The diameter of this planet is 2.4 times that of the earth, and its surface area is about 5.8 times that of the earth. Although the land only accounts for nine parts of the planet's surface area, because of the large total area, these nine percent of the land is almost twice the land area of ​​the earth."

Li Rui is an astronomer who was transferred to the Sky Eagle before the warship set off. No one knows what the specific title is. Anyway, he has the highest astronomy level on the warship.

Ye Fei covered his face: "Damn, this person is so embarrassing." None of the others dared to laugh at him. One was that they didn't dare, and the other was that they didn't understand. Like Ye Fei, he felt that nine percent of the land was too small.

"It doesn't matter, you have specialties in your profession. You are a military commander. It's normal not to understand these." Li Ruicheng comforted sincerely.

It was obviously a good thing, but when Li Rui said it seriously, it seemed like a teasing no matter how he heard it, Ye Fei sighed depressedly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This planet is so beautiful, so it's better to be called Qingwenxing."

After several months of contact with Li Rui, Ye Fei had a certain understanding of this astronomer with military rank. Like all the scholars who are engaged in astronomy, Li Rui couldn't find a few romantic bacteria on his body. I don't know why, but astronomers usually naming them both simple and straightforward, such as Jupiter's big red spots and Neptune's big black spots.

If it is replaced by someone else's name, it will at least give it a name like the Devil's Eye.

In the past few months, Ye Fei has heard too many letters and numbers from Li Rui's mouth. Forget about other planets, the environment of Blue-Wrangling Star is too suitable for immigration, much better than that of Giant Star. He really doesn't want this beautiful planet to have a straightforward name.

Li Rui's eyes lit up: "Good name!" After saying that, he immediately marked the name on the star map and officially named Kepler-22b as the Blue-White Star.

Ye Fei could not think of the name of a big street product like Qingwenxing at all, so he barely raised his lips: "Che Qi, scan the surface of the planet."

"Scanning!" The optical system aimed at a relatively large island on the surface of the Blue Wild Star. After several enlargements, the high altitude top view of the island was placed on the large screen.

This island is located near the equator of the Blue Star. The island is covered with dreamy green vegetation, and the conical volcano in the center of the island is clearly visible.

"What is this?" Li Rui suddenly stared at a corner of the screen and exclaimed. The vegetation there was relatively sparse. After a closer look, the distribution of plants seemed to be in a certain pattern.

Usually only artificial forests show similar patterns.

Ye Fei stood up with a "wow": "Hurry, focus on scanning this area!"

Che Qi immediately executed the command, and the electromagnetic waves scanned the area that occupied one-third of the island dozens of times. Soon, a map was expanded on the main screen.

"This is a city!" Ye Fei recognized what was on the image at a glance.

As a military commander, especially a commander from the commando team, the overview map of high-altitude reconnaissance is very familiar. Although the color of the scanning and reducing terrain map is too monotonous, this does not hinder his vision - electromagnetic waves can reduce the terrain and landform covered by plants through the vegetation on the island, but what color it is cannot be determined by a simple scan.

Everyone was stunned by this discovery. They never thought that an alien city was discovered in this place more than 600 light years away from the earth!

From the city's layout and architectural style, the residents living on the Blue Star are by no means tribal primitive people on the Giant Star, but should be a civilization with a similar technical level to humans.

Humans have fought against exoskeletons for more than ten years and have been ally with mechanical civilization for more than ten years, but they have never encountered exoskeletons who have truly settled on planets.

Che Qi immediately turned on the calculation device, and a straight line on the screen ran across the city area. It immediately concluded that the city's area covers about forty kilometers, accounting for almost one-fifth of the total area of ​​the entire island.

"How could it be? Is there a master here?" Li Rui was suddenly as depressed as a deflated ball. He finally found a livable planet suitable for immigration, but he already had a master.

If there were no smart creatures here, the earth might immigrate to it. However, not only were there smart creatures here, but they were smart creatures with similar technological levels to humans. Even if the news was sent back to the earth, the local area would not be able to send the immigrants across a distance of 400 light years.

It’s not that there is any technical or other aspects of resistance, but that humans have found several planets that can be immigrated near the solar system, so there is no need to look far.

"What master is there? You don't have to take a good look. Where there is a master, can the plants cover the entire city?" Ye Fei changed his tone, "Che Qi, look at other places."

"Yes!" Che Qi immediately pointed the optical system at other islands, and soon found that there would be a city on any island with an area of ​​similar size, but all the cities were covered by plants, and they could not see their true colors, and they looked like they were empty.

Li Rui originally thought that the civilization here was a natural civilization with a very high degree of harmony with nature, so the urban greening was done well. After hearing what Ye Fei said, he realized that he was not thinking, and he couldn't help but show embarrassment on the ground.

I have to say that everyone who is engaged in research is a little nerdy. Li Rui only responds slowly in non-astronomy, and his situation is relatively good.

The atmosphere in the bridge became more and more solemn due to the discovery of the optical system. The scissors said in a deep voice: "What happened in this place? Where did the people go..."

Before he finished speaking, something suddenly blocked the picture on the main screen, and this sudden change surprised everyone.

Che Qi immediately adjusted the magnification of the optical system and pulled the lens out of the planet's surface. Only then did he find that what blocked the lens was a batch of space garbage floating on the outer space orbit of the Blue-Wire Star. There were countless small debris, and some large debris were also present.

Ye Fei saw a piece of the garbage that seemed to be a wing, and he said thoughtfully: "These fragments look like the wreckage of a spacecraft. There are so many, it seems that they have fought a big battle."

The scissors flicked their shoulders and sat upright: "Is it an invasion of cosmic creatures?" Humans struggled in the shadow of the external bones for more than ten years before they got rid of the nightmare. Most people's first reaction was like scissors thinking of cosmic creatures.

"It's possible, but there's no evidence." Ye Fei said, "Jiang Xue, leaned over and stopped in the synchronous orbit of the Blue-Wrang Star."

"I understand!" Jiang Xue drove the warship toward Qingwenxing. After a few minutes, the warship steadily stopped on the synchronous track, and the fragments were below the warship.

Ye Fei gave the order. The Black Bear commanded the assault ship to escape from the main ship. A beam of traction light shot into the debris cloud from the battleship, pulling out several largest pieces from it, the largest piece was more than 200 meters long.

After the pulling beam pulled the fragments away from the near the debris cloud, the assault ship slowly flew over. Dozens of commandos flew away from the assault ship and approached the fragments.

The spherical panoramic screens in the left and right directions of the bridge were divided into dozens of small pieces. Each showed the perspective of a commando. Ye Fei casually clicked a warrior flying towards the largest fragment and placed the perspective of the warrior on the main screen.

The fragments on the screen expanded rapidly. A full commando slowly landed near the fragments that were more than 200 meters long, then adjusted the flight speed to keep the fragments in place, and then began to check the appearance of the fragments.

A soldier lay on the surface of the fragment and touched it, and only heard a voice saying, "It should be an alloy."

"You need to say this!" another voice said, "Don't waste time, come here!"

Several soldiers immediately gathered in one direction, and there was the location where the fragments were damaged.

After all the seven people arrived, the team leader found a passage more than four meters high and three meters wide. Several soldiers were led by the team leader and entered the passage, and the bright lights illuminated the passage.

The fragments more than 200 meters long are large or small, but the space inside is very spacious, with strange things floating everywhere. After about thirty meters deep, the team pried open the door next to the passage and turned into a fork.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned in, I found a human-shaped thing floating in the air. A few beams of lights immediately shone over and saw clearly that the thing was a space suit-like equipment.

The two soldiers immediately flew to it. From the perspective of the screen, the two soldiers wearing full sets of combat armor and a height of 2.5 meters were several heads shorter than the space suit. From this point of view, it can be judged that the race wearing this space suit is at least about three meters tall.

A soldier pulled the space suit and suddenly shouted: "It's quite heavy, there's something inside!"

Another soldier immediately flew to the head of the space suit under the command of the team leader and began to try to untie the helmet, but after working hard on his neck for a long time, he failed.

"Can you be a little stupid?" I didn't know that the bridge was watching their squad and regretted that it was too strong. "Where is the embroidery? Are you wearing decorations for you? Cut it for me!"

The soldier quickly pulled out his saber and slashed the space suit with one knife. A strange liquid flowed out of the space suit. The soldiers subconsciously flew away and then used the airflow to blow away the suspended unknown liquid until there was no liquid in the space suit. Only then did several people work together to cut the space suit, revealing a tall skeleton inside, and the thick thigh bones were almost as thick as human arms.

This discovery immediately made the soldiers excited. Everyone spliced ​​all the bones together, and a skeleton similar to the human skeleton appeared in front of everyone.

"What's going on in this place?" said a warrior dissatisfied. "I think its knees should bend backwards."

The military doctor in the team immediately retorted: "Don't talk about uselessness, its knees are bent forward like us."

The soldier was not convinced: "Who said that?"

"Me!" said the military doctor without hesitation, "Have you read too many novels? Let me tell you that no matter whether the knee is straight or reverse, the position and structure of the thigh must be forward to meet the evolutionary laws of upright animals. Therefore, the structure of the anti-joint joint is much more complex than the normal human leg structure. When I saw that the bones on these legs were so simple, I knew that it must be the positive joint."

The soldier suddenly realized and smiled and integrated his bones with the military doctor. At this moment, Ye Fei noticed the skull of this skeleton.

This skull is generally similar to a human skeleton, but its teeth are protruding outward and are particularly large. It can be concluded that the head of this creature must have a protruding mouth during its lifetime. At first glance, it feels like it must be bitten and the proportion of the eye sockets on the bones is also surprisingly large, and their eyes are likely to be very large.

Ye Fei cut into the public communication frequency directly: "Fourth Team, pack up the bones and send them back immediately."

The team leader didn't expect to receive the direct order from the bridge, so he quickly agreed and ordered the soldiers to clean up the alien bones and prepare to transport them back to the Skyhawk in a while.

Then the soldiers took the dead bones to search other directions, and found many intact small things and some equipment similar to weapons. All the things were sent back to the assault ship, including several large pieces of palm-slap.

Then the soldiers returned to the assault ship and gradually flew away from the fragments.

Considering that it may be necessary to explore the Blue Wire Star many times in the future, in order to prevent it, Ye Fei ordered the destruction of all the space garbage above the Blue Wire Star.

Several light green light flashed, and the simultaneous shooting of eleven main guns swept away all the fragments floating on the periphery of the planet, turning them into molecular-level dust.
