Chapter 470: The Disappearing Pluto
After listening to Su Yichen's explanation, the smile on Raymond Anthony's face turned bitter, and his heart sank to the bottom.●⌒,.
As a former great man, a successful man who has experienced 500 years, Raymond Anthony once thought that nothing would cause a big upset in his mood. Even when he was suddenly chased by several fleets in the Red Dark Nebula, Raymond Anthony also showed a gentlemanly attitude of not panic. But now, everything Su Yichen said was simply incredible and even more unacceptable.
Back then, Raymond Anthony betrayed his civilization and defected to the Gaia civilization as a lackey. Although there was a reason for him, his actions were not only because of the helplessness of force, but also planned to retain some blood for the Earth civilization in this way. No matter how history evaluates him, Raymond Anthony never thought that he had done something wrong in his heart. In his opinion, if there was no accident at the Earth Base, the Earth civilization would have been completely erased in that war. In this case, only his choice could leave some people in the Earth civilization and allow his civilization to continue.
But even so, in fact, Raymond Anthony once asked him in his heart, was he really wrong to make a choice? But after asking many times, he was convinced that compromise in that situation was more practical than meaningless sacrifice. Of course, this is because he is a businessman. As a businessman, he often puts interests first, and other issues are not important.
No matter what, when he left the earth and the solar system, Raymond Anthony's sadness could not be faked, and his deep affection for his civilization was also sincere. For so many years, in the distant red dark nebula, Raymond Anthony missed his home and the earth all the time. How many times, he dreamed that he had returned home in his dream and returned to his dream home. But when he woke up from the dream, he found that it was a waste. All he left was only the memories in his dream.
When he was on Earth, Raymond Anthony pursued eternal life, but when he got the so-called "eternal life" for so long, he missed the life on Earth again. No one knew. If he put the two choices of eternal life and going home in front of Raymond Anthony, he would rather give up eternal life and choose to go home. In his seemingly calm heart, the obsession of going home becomes stronger and stronger as time goes by.
But now, Su Yichen told him that they had crossed the time coordinates for some reason. When they returned to the solar system, time was no longer the same time as before. Perhaps billions of years have passed, the solar system is still there, and the earth may still be there, but no one can guarantee whether the earth civilization they are familiar with still exists.
"You said, our homeland and our civilization are still there?" Raymond Anthony asked with a hint of tremolo.
Su Yichen thought about it and replied solemnly: "I can't give you an answer. I can only wait until we return to the solar system. This answer will naturally be revealed. Of course, I also hope that our civilization will still exist, even more brilliant than before, but I still cannot give you an answer before."
"You can't comfort the heart of an old man who misses home and say a few words to make me happy?" Raymond Anthony asked back with some dissatisfaction, but as soon as he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly: "Su, you are right, you must face what you should face. Thank you, thank you for keeping me in mind for me and giving me some more happy time." After saying that, Raymond Anthony solemnly bowed deeply to Su Yichen and Luo Yan. When he raised his head, he apologized to them. Then he left the bridge directly.
"Is he okay?" Luo Yan asked, looking at Raymond Anthony's back as he left.
Su Yichen shook his head silently. He did not answer, nor did he know whether his shaking head would represent Raymond Anthony or whether it would be okay for him. After Raymond Anthony left, only the two of them were left on the bridge, and the Pioneer spacecraft was still flying towards the direction of the solar system under Su Wei's control.
When the Pioneer spacecraft approached the Alt Nebula outside the solar system, Su Wei already had the ability to scan the interior of the solar system. In fact, with Su Wei's current capabilities, coupled with the original equipment of the Pioneer spacecraft, it can scan this work when it is 10 light years away from the galaxy. However, the solar system is different from other small galaxies, and scanning the solar system is not so easy. The reason is that the Alt Nebula outside it.
Although the Alt Nebula is not as terrifying as the Red Dark Nebula, the two are somewhat similar in a sense. The entire solar system is wrapped in the Alt Nebula, which is in the middle of the nebula. The entire Alt Nebula protects the solar system inside like an egg shell.
In this case, it is not easy to explore the solar system outside the Alt Nebula. This is also the reason why the solar system is located on the edge of the Milky Way, but has never been discovered by other cosmic civilizations. The huge Alt Nebula, coupled with the countless celestial bodies inside the nebula, is the natural protective layer of the solar system. It is difficult for Su Wei to explore from the outside to the inside.
Now, Su Wei's exploration is just a preliminary exploration, with the main purpose being to determine the existence of the earth. For the solar system, the earth is one of its most important components. It is precisely because of the existence of the earth that this inconspicuous small galaxy gave birth to life and became a member of the universe civilization.
After a period of exploration and feedback, the conclusion reached was that the three people on the Pioneer spacecraft were relieved. According to Su Wei's exploration results, the earth still exists, and the distance between the earth and the sun, including orbits, does not change much. Not only the region exists, but even the major planets such as Venus, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, etc. also exist. But strangely, Su Wei did not explore the existence of Pluto. Not only that, even the space city that was originally near Pluto disappeared, and no artificial celestial bodies were found near the Earth.
This result made Su Yichen and the others look at each other. They don’t know what’s going on? Could it be that the Earth’s civilization has really perished? Or it has disappeared? But according to Su Wei’s exploration conclusion, there is another indication, that is, the Earth is still a life planet, and there are signs of life.
To understand all this, scanning and exploring the outer periphery is impossible. Only by entering the interior of the solar system or even heading to the earth can you figure it out. After considering it, Su Yichen decided to continue to accelerate and rush to the Alt Nebula as soon as possible, and then directly enter the interior of the solar system.
After some time, the Pioneer spacecraft finally arrived at the Alt Nebula airspace. They broke out from the curvature navigation shortly after entering the Alt Nebula and switched to the normal flight state. Of course, with the current Pioneer spacecraft and Su Wei's ability, this is not necessary at all, but for the sake of safety, Su Yichen still adopted this approach.
The huge Alt nebula is filled with various celestial bodies, including asteroids, huge meteorites, comets, etc. This is an extremely quiet and lifeless area. This area is extremely vast. No matter which cosmic civilization comes here, they will only think that this space is no different from the very common airspace in the universe, and they will not know that in the center of this seemingly ordinary airspace, there is a small galaxy with life like the solar system.
"How long will it take for us to actually enter the solar system?" Shortly after the spacecraft switched to normal flight states, Raymond Anthony couldn't help asking as he looked at the three-dimensional scene.
Before, Su Yichen told Raymond Anthony the truth, the old guy's mood was temporarily depressed for a while, but he had to say that his recovery was very fast and even unexpected. In just one day, after enough sleep, Raymond Anthony seemed to have forgotten all the things, and Raymond Anthony who reappeared in front of them was still the gentleman of demeanor. As for the previous frustration and loss, they disappeared.
"According to normal, it will be about 12 days." Su Yichen calculated the time and replied.
In 12 days, this number is a very short number for the three people who have experienced such a long time. Moreover, they have begun to enter the interior of the solar system. What exactly will be revealed soon. Raymond Anthony, who got the answer, just nodded slightly and never asked anything again.
Ten days passed by, and the Pioneer spacecraft flew very smoothly inside the Alt Nebula. They were able to fly out of the Alt Nebula soon, but at this moment, Su Wei suddenly warned them.
"What's up?"
"I found that there was a celestial body that was particularly strange." Su Wei's voice was very ordinary and different, with obvious surprise and confusion.
"Strange? Why is it strange?" Luo Yan asked.
"Mom, look. It's it!" The three-dimensional projection flashed, and soon an asteroid appeared in front of them. This asteroid is still a long way from the Pioneer spacecraft, and it looks no different from other asteroids in the universe. When seeing this asteroid, neither Su Yichen nor Luo Yan understood why Su Wei noticed this asteroid, and said it was strange.
"Nothing strange, an asteroid, isn't it everywhere in the Alt nebula?" Raymond Anthony also looked at it. He found that there was nothing worth noting about the asteroid at all. He couldn't understand where the strange thing Su Wei said was.
"Its movement trajectory, please pay attention to its movement trajectory!" Su Wei replied quickly, and at the same time, the movement trajectory of the asteroid was displayed next to the three-dimensional projection. When he saw these constantly beating numbers and the direction of the trajectory, except for Raymond Anthony who couldn't understand, Su Yichen and his wife were shocked at the same time.
That's right! Su Wei was right. This asteroid was indeed too strange. When they observed it, they didn't feel strange at all. But when Su Wei showed its movement trajectory in numbers, Su Yichen and his wife immediately understood what the strange he was talking about immediately.
Whether in the Alt nebula or in other airspaces, all celestial bodies operate according to certain laws. This law may be the result of collision and is also caused by mutual attraction. However, no matter which one, their inherent trajectory will not change much. This is the law of nature and a very simple scientific basis.
However, the trajectory of this asteroid is completely different now. According to the data and calculations displayed by Su Wei, the trajectory of this asteroid does not run according to certain rules within the Alt Nebula, but is similar to the Pioneer spacecraft. Its final direction is to move towards the interior of the solar system, which is the area where the sun is located.
This is simply too strange. How could a natural celestial body have such a trajectory? What's even more bizarre is that it is not imaged by the gravity of other nearby celestial bodies during its operation, as if it is not an asteroid, but a spacecraft! A spacecraft that flies towards the central area of the solar system like the Pioneer spacecraft.
"Spaceship? How is this possible! This is obviously an asteroid!" Su Yichen was suddenly frightened by the idea that flashed through his mind. Although this asteroid is called an asteroid, it is actually not small. Compared with the Pioneer spacecraft, it is simply a huge creature. How could such a huge cosmic celestial body be a spacecraft? This is simply impossible!
So, how could it have such a flight trajectory? When it flies like this toward the solar system, it will inevitably be attracted by the huge gravity of the sun. The final result is only two. The first is that it cannot escape gravity, and thus directly crashes into the sun or several major planets in the solar system. The second result is that it is captured by gravity and finally revolves around the sun and becomes a new planet in the solar system...
"No! New planet!"
When this idea came out, Su Yichen was stunned. A new planet? What does this mean? This means... means... Thinking of this, Su Yichen quickly took a few steps forward, stared at the three-dimensional projection with wide eyes, and at the same time asked Su Wei to do his best to enlarge the image of this asteroid.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yan asked anxiously when she saw her husband's face change drastically.
"Wait... Wait..." Su Yichen didn't have time to answer Luo Yan's question at all, staring at the projection intently. The more he looked at the asteroid, the more he felt that the asteroid looked familiar. When the picture became clearer and clearer, Su Yichen finally confirmed that he knew the asteroid himself, and he read it right.
"Our time coordinates are different from what we judged before." Su Yichen turned around and said to the two of them.
"Different? Why are they different?" Luo Yan asked in a daze, and Raymond Anthony also showed a strange look.
"At first we judged that time was moving forward, just like when we returned to Earth from Andromeda, but now I can confirm that our time coordinates are not moving forward."
"Not going forward? Should I go backward?" Raymond Anthony blurted out.
Su Yichen nodded silently: "That's right, go backwards! To be precise, we have traveled through time and returned to the past."
