Give the universe a little earth shock

Chapter 100 Departure!Oort cloud

Two weeks later, Suiren hovered beside Xinggang as scheduled.

Its hull length has reached 5000 meters, almost 30.00 times that of the Hayabusa. The power system adopts a dual configuration, with the latest ion thrusters and cold nuclear fusion energy-free engines. In terms of control systems, it is equipped with In order to ensure the smooth sailing, Mao transferred [-]% of his consciousness to the auxiliary control on the Suiren.

The hull is made of lightweight plastic steel material, which not only reduces the weight of the ship, but also ensures the strength of the hull. The large advanced shield covers the hull at 360° without any dead angle. As long as it is not penetrated, it will not enter the stage of hand-to-hand combat .

The Suiren is a master of Earth-link technology, it took over the mission of the Hayabusa and became the navigator of the second-generation Star Sea Fleet.

There are also twenty frigates accompanying it on trial voyage.

Now the total number of frigates of the Ground Alliance has reached fifty, all of which are equipped with ion thrusters and X-laser weapons.

Although in order to maintain the fleet, the energy budget of the Ground Alliance is somewhat tight, but the overall situation is still maintained in a balanced state.

The next expansion will depend on the research results of the hyperspace engine. If successful, the Earth Alliance can establish engineering mining stations and star ports in the outer galaxy, and expand the fleet on the spot.

The pointer came to [-]:[-] a.m. time in the eighth zone of the earth.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of millions of people and Europa [-], the Suiren started the cold fusion engine and swept towards the Oort cloud outside the Kuiper belt.

The final destination of this test voyage is the gravity well in the Oort cloud, and the Earth Federation will collect data on the voyage in the thin interstellar space, so as to better improve the fleet in the future.

Li Yufu in the command room of the Suiren issued one of the most important interstellar guidelines, "Keep the formation at all times and ensure that the reference is correct, otherwise you will be lost in the interstellar space."

"It's not as lively as the solar system outside."

He used the most commonly used noun in the Space Force, hilarious.

This metaphor highly condenses the relationship between the universe and galaxies.

If the universe is compared to a huge night, then the galaxies are the torches in the night, and the material particles existing in the space are the lights of each torch.

Taking the solar system as an example, if you zoom out the viewing angle to a scale of one light-year, you can see that there is a circle of bright and dark intersections between the solar system and the surrounding deep space, where the inner circle is bright and the outer circle is dark.

This circle is called the heliosphere, the eight planets, and the Kuiper belt are all within the heliosphere.

The particles are carried by the solar wind and scattered in the heliosphere at a speed of up to 400 km/s.

After passing the heliosphere, the speed of the solar wind gradually slows down to 0.

After passing the point of 0, the outer part belongs to the interstellar space, and the matter here is pitifully small, and there are only 1 or 2 atoms in the space the size of a fingernail.

On Earth, even pure water is the size of a fingernail, and its quantity is 3.35×10 to the 22nd power.

So getting lost in interstellar space is like getting lost in the cold night, and sooner or later you will freeze to death if you don't walk into the light of the next torch.

The distance between torches starts from light years in the universe.

Suiren led [-] frigates and set sail, crossed the Kuiper belt, and the sun's brilliance gradually dimmed behind it until it disappeared completely.

They reached the top of the heliosphere, and beyond that was the Oort cloud, a spherical cloud that envelops the solar system and is filled with leftover material that formed the solar system 50 billion years ago.

This is the land that time has forgotten, where there are no stars or planets.

For billions of years, only some comets have been silently orbiting in the dark according to their established orbits.

Most of them cannot be observed by the earth, and only a few lucky ones will enter the solar system, and after tens of millions of years of trekking, they will become a comet with a name.

It often takes tens of thousands, or even millions of years, to repeat the orbit once, and the earth has long been a world of vicissitudes.

Even for a rational person like Li Yufu, after seeing these dark celestial bodies, the thought of a drop in the ocean will arise in his heart.

The gravity well is in the Oort cloud at 2200 AU from the sun.

When the Suiren arrived at the designated location, Mao thoughtfully marked a triangular arrow symbolizing a gravity well on the radar map.

"Control room, reduce the output of the ion thruster, and the rest of the escort fleet will keep a relative distance from the Suiren."

"Yes."

The fleet group came to the gravity well, observed with the naked eye, it is not much different from other interstellar spaces, the same darkness, unknown, and a little more dead than the interior of the solar system.

It is different from the gorgeous universe captured by astronomical telescopes on earth.

Looking around, except for the starlight that is countless light years away, the surrounding area is pitch black.

There is no matter that can reflect starlight, and light and darkness present a paradoxical superposition state in the cold interstellar space.

Only when you step into the sea of ​​stars, you will find that darkness is the eternal background of the universe.

The fleet group carried out exercises such as laser test firing and formation changes around the gravity well, and began to collect combat data in interstellar space as planned.

It's just that the material is scarce, and the fleet can only be divided into offensive and defensive groups to conduct exercises on their own.

Li Yufu stood with his hands behind his back, standing in the bridge of the cruiser, always feeling like he was punching cotton.

The performance of the cruiser during the exercise did not even show 50.00%.

Just as he was worrying, the gravity sensor sensed the approaching signal of a small spaceship twenty astronomical units away.

Afterwards, the friend or foe verification is passed, and the communication requests access.

It is a research ship that comes to the gravity well to collect data from the hyperdrive.

"General Li, we are in trouble. There are two unidentified spaceships in the gravity well."

Are there alien spaceships?
Hearing the research ship's request, Li Yufu's first reaction was not nervous, but faintly excited.

"Give me the coordinates, and I'll send the shuttle to have a look."

But he still maintained his usual restraint, and followed the steps of space warfare, first to inquire about the enemy's intelligence.

The detection shuttle equipped with a gravity sensor came to the designated location, and sure enough, two slow-moving spaceships were found on the radar, at a speed of about [-]/[-].

The gravity model shows that the total length of the unidentified spaceship is 5000 meters, and the destination of the planned voyage track is the earth.

Li Yufu notified Li Kaiyang of this matter, and the latter was not worried at all, "There are ether dragons in the solar system, don't worry, the 5000-meter spacecraft can't pose a threat, and they are handed over to you."

Li Yufu, who was guaranteed in the rear, let go of his hands and feet, "The first formation of the Star Sea Fleet, went to the designated location to intercept the unknown spacecraft, and tentatively accompanied the flight to judge the goodwill of civilization."

"The second formation goes around to the [-] astronomical units in front of the predetermined orbit and waits. Once a firefight occurs, it will be responsible for fire cover."

"Finally, don't play too fast, I have to try this big guy."
