The newly added astronomers, Sarah Sieger and Julie Stacy, were both stunned and didn't know what to say. Both of them felt that it was too unreal. When did the modern technological level of human beings reach such an exaggerated level??

Create "Dyson Ball" to collect all the energy of the star, and the energy drawn in this way is incredible.

The most important thing is, how did the "Dyson Ball" hypothesis come true? Let's take a step back, where did humans get so many resources to build an energy collector like "Dyson Ball"? You should know that creating a Dyson Ball with a diameter of one astronomical unit will have a surface area of ​​2.72x10^17 square kilometers.

Is this something that humans can do with their current scientific and technological level?

But soon, Sara Sieg realized that this was not impossible, because even the more weird artificial gravity technology was born, and the "Dyson Ball" could at least be understood as an engineering technology with a super-large scale.

Chu Siyuan is right. After the Zhong element material was transported back, it was used in large quantities to make structural components composed of "Dyson balls". Simply put, it is to make two-dimensional unfolded sheets of Zhong crystal with a thickness of picometer level.

It's simple to say, but this requires the most advanced nanotechnology of the Washington Group so far.

By comparing the data, you will know how thin the picometer level will be. 1 nanometer is equal to 1,000 picometers, and the diameter of the smallest hydrogen atom is 0.1 nanometers. As a heavy element, Zhong crystal substance, the diameter of Zhong atom is smaller than that of hydrogen atoms, with only 27 picometers, that is, 0.027 nanometers.

In the microscopic world, an atom is like an independent star system. The nucleus inside is equivalent to a star, and the electrons moving at high speed around the atomic nucleus are equivalent to planets.

The Zhong atom is so small because the electron orbit inside is small and tight. Although the diameter is smaller than that of a hydrogen atom, the mass of a Zhong atom is much higher than that of a hydrogen atom.

Nanotechnology has two-dimensionally expanded the Zhong crystal, thus creating the thinnest thin object in the known universe that humans currently recognize. This means that a star can be "wrapped" without much Zhong crystal material. Without this technology, even applying all Zhong elements on the entire wandering planet is not enough to create a "Dyson ball" structure.

Using two-dimensional expansion, the surface area of ​​an astronomical unit "Dyson ball" in diameter only requires 1.2 million tons of mass of Zhong element substance. If it is a general material to make the solid shell of the "Dyson ball", such a structure is physically impossible because it requires a very huge tensile strength and is easily affected by large drift.

But the Zhong element is not among them. No matter how thin it is, once it interacts with energy, its intensity and structural stability will be proportional to the soaring energy level. Once it is received from infrared energy radiation from the star, it is impossible to dismember it.

The "Dyson Ball" is not a continuous shell, but consists of 100,000 independent solar collectors. They do not need to surround the orbit, but use a huge solar collector to use a large amount of light pressure to offset the gravity and tension of the sun.

100,000 relatively independent structures can be completely stationary for stars. When the light pressure and the gravity from the stars are constant, a balance can be achieved between gravity and the thrust of the solar wind when they are placed in the corresponding position, so that the collector will not be sucked into the surface by the solar gravity or blown into the universe by the solar wind.

But the prerequisite is that the material strength of the solar collector can withstand, and Zhong element has no problem at all.

“The calibration of the channel is completed!”

“The transition engine is ready!”

On the bridge, Chu Siyuan briefly described the exploration mission, and at the same time, the members who controlled the spacecraft reported one after another. At this time, they all looked at Li Chuan and waited for his command. The latter immediately responded: "Let's jump!"

The spacecraft pilot chewing gum and smiled calmly: "Learn. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to take the Huasheng Group's "Ask the Sky" spacecraft. This flight is from Earth to Proxima Centauri. The voyage is 4.2 light years away. Please fasten your seat belt and wish you a happy journey."

The atmosphere of the team members is good, and the exploration tasks are all for competition. After all, scientific research and travel are both good, and the beauty is bad.

In the high altitude orbit of the earth, a dazzling light flashed and the "Ask the Sky" spacecraft completed its leap.

Around 4.2 light years away from the Earth, a dim red dwarf is the largest celestial body in this space, and it is Proxima Centauri. Soon after, a flash of light broke out within the gravitational range of the red dwarf, and the huge "Ask the Sky" spacecraft jumped here.

The outer shield of the spacecraft's porthole slowly opened, and Li Chuan couldn't help but look into space. At this time, an artificial intelligence electronic synthesizer sounded on the spacecraft: "The quantum database has been updated!"

"What new discoveries are there?" Li Chuanyao looked at the bright stars in space, and there were two more in the distance. The portholes were protective, so people inside the spacecraft could directly look at the stars.

The data monitor on the spacecraft immediately reported: "The main star Centaurus A: g2v type main sequence star, yellow, with an apparent magnitude of 0.01, an absolute magnitude of 4.6, a radius of 1.3 times that of the sun, a surface area temperature of 5,800k, and a mass of 1.1 times that of the sun."

Astronomers Sarah Sieger and Julie Stacy are very proud. When they hear these data, they are the same as the observations and calculations of the Earth's surface observatory. The data of a star a has the same chemical composition as the sun and has the same brightness. It can be said to be another sun that is exactly the same.

The monitor continued: "The main star Centaurus A-type b: k1v-type main sequence star, red, with an apparent magnitude of 1.13, an absolute magnitude of 5.8, a radius of 0.83 times the sun, a surface temperature of 5300k, a mass of 0.91 times the sun, and is located at 13.8 arc seconds from a star A. It is its companion star, rotating around each other as the center to form a binary star system with a rotation period of 80.089 years, and is 4.356 light years from the earth."

"The main star Centaurus A-shaped star: m5v red dwarf, with an optical magnitude of 11.05, an absolute magnitude of 15.1, a brightness of 12.4, and is located at 2 degrees southwest of the earth. Currently we are in the gravity range of Proxima Centauri, that is, 23.21 degrees below the current position of the spacecraft, which is a main sequence red dwarf, detecting four planets..."

"There are four planets? Wait, we have scanned the entire sector many times and focused on the Centaurus A-galaxy. Why didn't there be any discoveries before?" Sara Sieg couldn't help but wonder.

"That's because the orbits of the four planets all belong to polar orbits, with an inclination of 89 degrees. The calculation results of data show that this is caused by the gravitational force of a stars a and b in Centaurus. Such orbits cannot see their transit on Earth, so they naturally cannot be discovered." The data monitor explained that the database is still being updated at this time, and new quantum data is coming again.

The monitor looked down and was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "...wait, look!"

As he said that, he immediately adjusted the data to the console and immediately projected a huge image. Li Chuan and others were also attracted. The data monitor quickly said: "The second planet is about 0.424 astronomical units away from the star, which is located in the habitable zone of this red dwarf..."

Shocked for a brief moment, the data monitoring member gradually showed excitement on his face, and his hands were flying fast on the light curtain keyboard, and said one after another: "The radius of the planet is 12,750 kilometers, the planet's surface area is 2.06 billion square kilometers, the average density of the planet is very low, the surface gravity is 0.954, very close to the earth, there is ocean and land, and it is very likely that there is a life ecosystem, boss..."

The monitor excitedly said: "...There is a livable life planet here!"

All the members on the bridge were sensational, and many white engineers were even more excited to hug each other, shouting that they claimed that Columbus in the Age of Navigation of the Universe and Seas was even more influential than Columbus' discovery of the New World.

"This is a planet in a livable zone and an ocean, with the basic conditions for the birth of life. Will the local wisdom civilization evolve? Just like the earth, just like us..." Liu Jin raised a question that everyone was surprised but reasonable. He didn't expect that others would soon think of this level. This is an inevitable topic and consideration.

"The helmsman, the original mission process is planned to be postponed and approach Planet II." Li Chuan, who had never spoken, calmly said the first sentence. Although he remained silent while everyone was discussing it, his eyes were always staring at the planet and data.

When the "Ask Sky" spacecraft entered the high altitude orbit of the planet, Sara Sieg and others were stunned by the scene in front of them.
