Chapter 933 Sun, Moon and Star Cluster
When traveling in the interstellar, the star map is the most important thing, nothing else. In other words, spacecraft are not as important as star maps!
The contents of the star map include star map galaxies, interstellar motion, wandering planets (including wandering black holes), battlefield markings, meteorite areas, interstellar channels, supernova explosion impact range, neutron star jets and sweeping ranges, space magnetic storm records, military garrisons and warning ranges, territorial divisions, etc. Sometimes, it even includes historical data and some inexplicable dangerous areas.
A star map can be said to be all-encompassing, and only a powerful country can formulate a comprehensive star map.
Especially those inexplicable dangerous areas, such as the famous KBC void, and there should not be too many small voids in the universe. These voids are said to be formed by the collision of two universes, and some say that they are caused by the invasion of dimensional space or high-dimensional worlds, etc. But if you want to explore these dangerous areas, you must have a strong state machine to support them behind the scenes.
So the current star map is a thousand years ago-after the collapse of the Yanhuang Federation, it was unable to update the star map.
But even if it is a thousand years ago, it is still useful. The concept of time in the interstellar is very slow. It takes 210 to 220 million years for the solar system to revolve around the Milky Way. The error is 10 million years.
There are many reasons for the error. The first is inaccurate measurement.
From the birth of human beings on Earth to the present, the trajectory of the solar system in the Milky Way is less than "one minute" - if the Milky Way is regarded as a big clock, one minute is about 3.5 million years!
So through such a comparison, we can know that humans know very little about the universe. You can't say that you can run 100 seconds for a kilometer just because you ran 100 meters in 10 seconds.
At present, there are more or less similar situations in human research on the Milky Way.
Secondly, interstellar motion is not stable. If you say ten years or a hundred years, it can basically be regarded as unchanged. But if the time scale is extended to tens of millions of years or hundreds of millions of years, then many interstellar motions will fluctuate on the curve chart and are no longer stable.
That's why asteroids hit the earth, so the ancient star map and the modern star map are different, and the position of the North Star is constantly changing.
In short, the star map that Chu Fei got now, although it was thousands of years ago, is completely usable, but a lot of data needs to be corrected. But Chu Fei does not have enough data to correct it, so he can only borrow the historical resources in the star map and use it reluctantly, just pay a little attention.
The content of a star map is very complicated. With Chu Fei's current practice, it took more than half an hour to browse the star map roughly.
On this star map, Chu Fei found the Tianjiang star cluster and also found his current location-the Sun and Moon star cluster.
The distance between the two is not very long. It is only one centimeter on the unmagnified star map. But in fact, the distance between the two is: more than two thousand light years!
Using the inner world as a springboard for interstellar travel, it takes half a year to cross thousands of light years. And the most time-consuming is mainly the time of two shuttles.
In fact, using the inner world for interstellar travel, you can reach any corner of the Milky Way within half a year. This is the secret of the Yanhuang Federation's expansion of its territory to one-third of the Milky Way.
In the interstellar era, the importance of travel technology is not an exaggeration to call it the foundation of the country.
But then again, it seems that the advancement of human civilization always starts with travel technology. From horses to steam engines to internal combustion engines to plasma engines, it is all about running faster.
Generally speaking, the faster the travel speed, the higher the level of civilization.
Let's talk about the Sun and Moon Cluster. The Sun and Moon Cluster is very interesting. It is divided into two parts. One part is slightly spherical, and the other part is in the shape of a crescent moon, or an elongated banana. If you find the right position to observe, you will find that the entire cluster looks like a seal character "Ming".
Therefore, in the Yanhuang Federation, there are two "administrative units" under the Sun and Moon Cluster, one is the crescent part, called the "New Moon Cluster", and the other is the spherical cluster, which is the "Wanlong Cluster".
The Wanlong Cluster should have been called the "Full Moon Cluster", but because the "Demon Dragon Clan" was discovered here, it was finally named the Wanlong Cluster. The reason for this is that management issues have been considered. The former Yanhuang Federation had a large territory, so it is best to name it directly based on local characteristics, which is conducive to memory.
The entire territory of the Moon Cluster is about 32 light years.
The Crescent Cluster is 32 light years long, with a maximum width of 17 light years in the middle and a maximum thickness of 16 light years; the Wanlong Cluster is about 18 light years in diameter.
The Crescent Cluster contains 276 star systems, with an average distance of 2.56 light years between the internal star systems and a minimum distance of 1.8 light years in the core area;
The Wanlong Cluster contains 215 star systems, with an average distance of 2.24 light years between the internal star systems and a minimum distance of 1.6 light years in the core area.
The distance between the two star clusters is 24 light years, with 117 star systems sparsely distributed in the middle, and an average distance of 4.2 light years between star systems.
The density comparison of star systems is the cubic relationship of the average distance. In other words, the average distance of 2.24 light years is 6.6 times the density of 4.2 light years.
There is no clear standard for the aggregation of star clusters, and specific analysis is required for specific situations.
If the average distance between stars in the spiral core is within two light years, then the distance of 2.56 light years is definitely a "sparse distribution".
This kind of star cluster is generally denser than the surrounding area, and it is also the product of human cognition of nature, etc.
Chu Fei is now at the edge of the Wanlong Star Cluster, but close to the New Moon Star Cluster.
Now the demon dragons in the Wanlong Star Cluster have rebelled, and the forces of the Yanhuang Federation have retreated to the New Moon Star Cluster.
So, should I go to the New Moon Star Cluster?
Chu Fei pondered. Going directly to the New Moon Star Cluster is of course the simplest way, but not the best way.
I am a 16.0 master, so should I bring some gifts?
There is a saying in the Yanhuang civilization: more gifts are not blamed. It is better to bring something when meeting for the first time.
In fact, in the initial situation, it is said that they went to visit the neighboring tribe and carried the heads of beasts to show their bravery. And what Chu Fei has to do now is this.
As for what to bring, Chu Fei already has an idea.
Staring at the dark starry sky in front of him, Chu Fei thought of the life planets in the current galaxy.
Where there are high-dimensional channels, there must be life planets. Otherwise, there is at most a gravitational string channel for interstellar mining.
After returning to the spacecraft, he used the observation equipment on the spacecraft to search carefully and found a life planet.
It is actually very difficult to find a life planet near a star from here, that is, the Kuiper belt.
If the life planet is between the sun and the Kuiper belt, then only the "dark side" of the life planet can be seen. What is the meaning of searching for a dark side in the vast starry sky? It is simply searching for a glass bead in the vast ocean.
If the life planet is located outside the sun and the Kuiper belt, it will most likely be obscured by the light of the star - the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
In fact, if you observe the earth or similar life planets from the Kuiper belt, there may be only one or two pixels on the camera.
Of course, Chu Fei is using high technology now, so it is still a bit difficult, but he still found it.
Then he adjusted the focus and gradually saw half a blue light spot. Even with Chu Fei's current technology on the spacecraft, the limit can only observe three millimeters in size, only half a blue light spot, and there is no need to think about details.
The reason why it is half can refer to the moon, the angle of the star and the angle of observation. It is very common to see half of an object in the starry sky. Don't think that it is only half, but the other part is hidden in the darkness.
However, confirming the location is just the beginning. There are still many things to do to get close to this life planet.
First of all, you have to leave this place quietly. Since the high-dimensional channel is hidden in the Kuiper belt, it is obviously not exposed. And the tail flame of the spacecraft's engine is difficult to cover.
Secondly, any action requires intelligence and information support. I know nothing about this place and need to investigate and collect intelligence. Fortunately, electromagnetic wave signals have been detected, but it takes some time to crack and translate.
While thinking, Chu Fei's figure appeared in space again, and he actually wrapped the entire spacecraft with a field, and then used his own ability to push the spacecraft.
The algorithm of machine logic started, and he turned into an engine. But even if Chu Fei is now a "god", it is still difficult to push millions of tons of objects to move.
Especially in space, this moving distance is not a few meters or tens of meters, but tens of millions of kilometers.
Pushing the spacecraft to "fall" towards the sun, the speed is getting faster and faster, so that the gravity of the sun can be used to accelerate and reduce its own burden.
After three days of acceleration, the spacecraft finally reached a sufficient speed, and then Chu Fei entered the spacecraft to rest. Next, the spacecraft still did not ignite, and it flew completely by inertia. While flying, Chu Fei slightly adjusted the orbit by releasing compressed air.
If you want to hide your tracks, you have to waste time. Half a month later, the spacecraft completely left the Kuiper belt and was more than 10 million kilometers away from its original position, but Chu Fei still did not ignite.
Ten million kilometers seems very far, but in the starry sky, it is just like that, equivalent to a neighbor who went out and walked two steps when visiting.
Anyway, Master Chu is not in a hurry now. After there is no life crisis, he has a bit of a lying mentality.
A month later, under the action of the gravity of the sun, the spacecraft accelerated to more than 500 kilometers per second, which means that it can fly 1.8 million kilometers in an hour, and 43.2 million kilometers in a day.
But because Chu Fei did not ignite, the spacecraft was still in "free fall", and as the distance from the sun continued to increase, the acceleration continued to increase.
Finally, the spacecraft crossed three planetary orbits, which was almost equivalent to flying from the Kuiper belt to the position of Saturn, and finally ignited.
At this point, Chu Fei also adjusted the flight direction, and the spacecraft was facing the life planet, using itself to block the engine flame to reduce the probability of discovery.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and Chu Fei finally approached the life planet here from the Kuiper belt. In half a year, he flew more than 5.5 billion kilometers, and the distance from the target planet was less than 30 million kilometers at this time.
Considering that the spacecraft was too heavy, Chu Fei had begun to slow down in advance.
To slow down, you have to fly in reverse, and the engine flame is particularly bright.
As for whether doing so will make the "people" on the planet prepared, Chu Fei doesn't care at all. This is the confidence of the strong!
If you don't have enough technology, you can't hurt your spacecraft at all; if you have enough technology, then go into the planet yourself and let the "dragon people" here see the means of the strong.
It's not that Chu Fei is arrogant, but confident. With my current level of cultivation, I can basically roam freely in the surface world.
And the reason for attacking here is another more important goal: my understanding of this world is almost zero, and the same is true for the Yanhuang Federation branch here; if I want to integrate here, I have to understand it. And the one who knows you best is the enemy; so even if you want to understand the situation of the Crescent Star Cluster, you need to go here to toss.
As the spacecraft continued to approach, there was finally movement on this planet, and Chu Fei saw the aircraft appear. But after just one look, Chu Fei shook his head disdainfully. There were not even a few satellites in the sky above the huge planet, and the aircraft was also very small, which made Chu Fei think of the word "antique".
At the same time, Chu Fei was openly monitoring the other party's communication.
For so long, Chu Fei has cracked the other party's communication, which is still ordinary electromagnetic wave communication. But it can't be said to be ordinary, because electromagnetic wave communication inside the planet is really easy to use, the technology is simple, the cost is low, and it is easy to crack.
Especially now that the situation is urgent, the other party has used high-power communication means, so Chu Fei received a clearer signal.
The communication was decoded so smoothly, thanks to the familiar language here. The official language here is Chinese, although the so-called "dragon people" rule here.
The "nobles" on this planet are red dragon people, and the current leader is "Shengyang Ao Tengyun".
This name feels strange, because Chu Fei has not received much information for the time being, so he can only write down the content temporarily.
According to the information Chu Fei received in bits and pieces, this planet is ruled by a dragon aristocracy, with some blood suppression and more emphasis on practice. The existing scientific and technological equipment are mostly left by the Yanhuang Federation, and many things are no longer useful.
This time, the spacecraft was discovered because the observation equipment in space automatically scanned. Although the spacecraft is black and gray, when the spacecraft is started, the tail flame of the engine cannot be completely eliminated.
The detectors left by the Yanhuang Federation here are not only around the planet, but many are scattered in space, which can monitor the starry sky from six sides and ten directions. Although most of them are in disrepair, there are still a few that are not broken.
Then the spacecraft was locked through the radio telescope technology on the ground.
Chu Fei did not have any worries, but found it interesting and even full of expectations.
A world with degraded scientific research capabilities, but focusing on the development of cultivation?
Standing at Chu Fei's current height, he can point at the other party's high-level noses and scold them - if the technology is not good, what's the point of cultivation!
Why can the Yanhuang Federation have big data cultivation? The root lies in technology.
You say that cultivation does not need technology? Chu Fei laughed. Before leaving the Tianjiang Star Cluster, Chu Fei personally solved many problems of cultivation. The elixir was upgraded from 13.0 to 15.0, the skills were improved, and the magic weapons were improved. How much scientific knowledge was used in it. Let alone other things, you have to use computers.
In fact, in the Tianjiang Star Cluster, Chu Fei already knew clearly: the so-called cultivation, magic, etc., can also be accelerated by technology.
To be precise, everything is technology. Cultivation methods such as cultivation and magic are accumulated and screened through tens of thousands of years of experience, and are precipitated little by little. But using scientific and technological means to iterate, the results of a few years are equivalent to the results of tens of thousands of years in the past.
Especially after practicing to a height of 12.0 or above, scientific means must be used. Without scientific means, medicinal materials can only be collected wildly, and there are only a few wild ones.
While thinking, the spacecraft began to slow down, but during the deceleration process, the spacecraft also kept swaying slightly from side to side, which was to prevent attacks. Although it feels that there are no space weapons on this planet, what if.
As a human, you have to be cautious.
Chu Fei was so cautious that he did not land directly on the planet, but first passed by the planet a million kilometers away and conducted a detailed investigation of the situation on the planet.
This life planet is very interesting, and there is actually a meteorite ring around it.
The meteorite belt here also proves Chu Fei’s previous theory-the super-dimensional channel launched into the Kuiper belt was forcibly dismantled from the satellite.
But if you want to dismantle a high-precision device of at least 600 million tons from a planet and send it into space, this task cannot be done "directly", but only indirectly. The so-called indirect way is-if the planet is dismantled, the equipment will naturally be exposed in space.
And the evidence of dismantling the planet is the meteorite ring outside this life planet.
However, because this meteorite ring was obtained by dismantling a satellite, it is more than 300,000 kilometers away from the planet, and there is still a relatively safe zone in the middle.
But one thing is that the meteorite ring is only in the shape of a belt and will not cover the space, so it does not affect the development of space technology. But the development of technology here is not good.
Chu Fei passed through the space and saw that there were already many strong people in the space.
These "people" actually drove the "dragon beast" to move in the space, facing the direction of the spacecraft alertly.
"Interesting!" Chu Fei was watching with interest.
Now it is a million kilometers, the distance is a bit far, and the details such as the other party's cultivation cannot be seen clearly, but it feels quite interesting.
Before this, Chu Fei considered a question-how can a traditional master of cultivation move "efficiently" in space?
In the past, Chu Fei had seen top cultivators like Jiang Guangyuan, who could only stupidly spray true energy behind him when they arrived in space, and the waste rate was too high.
But everyone is like this. And this way of moving is a live target when facing spaceships, warships, and special space fighters. They can lock you hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, but you can only dodge.
Only Chu Fei is better, using machine logic to drive himself. And this machine logic is actually simulating technological equipment, simulating engines, electric motors, etc. Chu Fei's simulation can only be said to be still in the process of exploration. It does have some good effects, but it is still not as powerful and efficient as technological weapons.
But now it seems that these "dragon beasts" seem to have a way to swim freely in space, as free as fish in water.
This is simply against the laws of physics!
This reminds Chu Fei of the legendary dragon in the Yanhuang civilization, which seems to be like this.
So, how do the dragon people and dragon beasts here do it?
Chu Fei was curious and circled the planet three times, and then slowed down a little bit to get closer. After these three circles, two and a half months have passed.
It can only be said that time in space really can't be paid too much attention. Calculating the time, Chu Fei traveled about 5.6 billion kilometers from arriving at this galaxy to arriving at this life planet, which took almost a year!
But now, the spacecraft is rushing towards the meteorite belt under the attention of countless dragon people. And the meteorite belt is only 300,000 kilometers away from the life planet.
Has the invasion finally arrived?
Countless dragon people of the demon dragon clan stared at the space.
300,000 kilometers is the position of face-to-face output in space.
On the ground, the leader "Shengyang Ao Tengyun" looked gloomy, looked up at the endless blue sky, and slowly uttered a few words: "It is definitely a spacecraft, humans are back!" (End of this chapter)
