No matter how technological development of human civilization has reached, even if the current human civilization has the ability to barely carry out interstellar navigation, the entire universe, no, even just a solar system, is vast and mysterious to human civilization.

Human civilization's understanding of the solar system is still just the tip of the iceberg.

From the inside to the outside, the solar system consists of four terrestrial planets, then the asteroid belt, and then the four huge woody planets, and then the Kuiper belt, which is the source of short-period comets, Pluto, Mammal and Bird Gods. Further out is the discrete eclipse of the ecliptic, where there is a celestial body Seedna, which is larger than Pluto. The arising point of the celestial body here may even be as high as one thousand astronomical units, that is, more than one thousand five hundred billion kilometers.

This distance is already very far away, but there is a very important point. The longest distance of the discrete eclipse is 150 billion kilometers from the sun, and the estimated distance between the Alt Cloud and the sun is between 750 billion and 18 trillion kilometers. So... there is a huge hole with a range of trillions to tens of trillions of kilometers between the discrete eclipse and the Alt Cloud... What is there in this huge hole?

Before Weifeng, the farthest voyage distance of human civilization was 50 billion kilometers. This still belongs to the category of discrete ecliptic disks. Before we came to this huge hole, we naturally failed to conduct field exploration of this area. Scientists have searched this area for many years through various large telescopes, but have not found anything in this area.

Is this really empty? This seems a bit unacceptable from a common sense.

In fact, Wei Feng's scientific research mission included detection of the hollow area. Scientists hope to find something here to improve their understanding of the evolutionary process of the solar system. This work has always been carried out by Ye Luo and does not require Wei Feng's interference. The Xinghai spacecraft is equipped with many scientific research instruments. Since the Xinghai spacecraft left the discrete zodiac disk range, these instruments have started working continuously. They have been analyzing the density of matter, composition type, radiation type, and intensity of the material here, and then packaged them and sent them back to Earth.

But the most critical breakthrough has not been found. Scientists have always hoped that the Star Sea spacecraft could discover some macroscopic objects here, such as interstellar dust with a diameter of one centimeter, and then one day bring them back to Earth for research.

At this moment, several years have passed since the Star Sea spacecraft last awakened. During this period, it is still constantly moving forward. Now the distance between it and the sun has expanded to 1500 billion kilometers.

Although most of its equipment has been turned off, some important instruments and equipment are still in operation. These equipment include four large optical telescopes equipped on the outer wall of its cabin. They are constantly collecting light transmitted from the surrounding empty space, and then transmitting the data to Ye Luo. Lea Luo is further analyzed.

This work has lasted for more than ten years, and Ye Luo has gained nothing until now. But today it seems a little different. Through the faint reflection of starlight, a telescope captured a faint highlight in the deep space. This highlight quickly attracted Ye Luo's attention, and then the four telescopes adjusted the angle at the same time and aimed at the light spot.

Further analysis data quickly concluded. The data showed that the light spot came from an irregular asteroid about 200 million kilometers away with a diameter of about 17 meters. Its composition cannot be analyzed for the time being, but its surface is very bright and has a very high albedo. This indicates that its surface may be composed of water ice, dry ice, or methane ice.

Ye Luo’s library stores programs that should be dealt with in this situation. This is a huge hole between the discrete zodiac disk and the Olt cloud area. This place has been considered empty for hundreds of years. If a star can be found here and then analyzed, many of the difficulties faced by human civilization may be answered.

This is a very important scientific discovery, so after a little calculation, Ye Luo decided to capture this asteroid. Even if he could not capture this asteroid, he had to find a way to send it to obtain some matter. But in this vast space, especially in the Xinghai spacecraft, which is in a high-speed motion state, it is not easy to capture this asteroid.

The farther away from the sun, the slower its speed will be. Within the range of the speed of the spacecraft sailing, it can even be regarded as being stationary relative to the sun. It is not a simple matter for a spacecraft that moves at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second to capture a stationary object. You should know that at such a high speed, if the Xinghai spacecraft directly crashes into the asteroid, the huge kinetic energy brought by the high speed may destroy the entire spacecraft.

But before departure, the engineers who built the spacecraft had long considered this situation. They had designed a complete plan to capture the astral bodies they encountered or obtain the matter on the astral bodies they encountered.

In this silent moment, a part of the cabin of the Xinghai spacecraft, which had turned into a cold stone in the universe, slowly opened. An object similar to a machine gun barrel gradually stretched out. Four large optical telescopes used as eyes, the orbit and position parameters of the irregular asteroid were continuously transmitted to Ye Luo's central processor. Ye Luo used these data as the basis to adjust the angle of the cannon barrel until it locked the irregular asteroid firmly.

Then it fired a bullet. The bullet's bore out speed is 100 kilometers per second. Since the relative theoretical effect of moving objects at low speed is very weak, its speed at this moment is a simple superposition of bore out speed and the speed of the spacecraft, that is, 3,100 kilometers per second.

It flew towards the irregular asteroid 200 million kilometers away at a speed of 3,100 kilometers per second, and it is expected to hit the irregular asteroid in eighteen hours.

After the bullet was shot out, something was fired in the cabin of the Star Sea spacecraft. After the thing was stretched out in a folded state, it showed its original appearance. It was a huge disc-shaped thing, with a circle of metallic outer layer and an inner layer a huge filter. Its diameter is as high as ten meters and its thickness is less than five centimeters. Its metal circle is also equipped with more than a dozen mini engines. Driven by these mini engines, the filter equipment also flew towards the irregular asteroid with the bullet.

Ye Luo launched five filter equipment in total. Obviously, Ye Luo planned to smash the asteroid first and then use this filter to capture the tiny dust particles scattered in space. Although the filter still has a speed of more than 3,000 kilometers per second relative to the asteroid fragments, their filter structure is extremely strong, and they are fully capable of capturing tiny star debris. At the same time, they also have their own power, which means that after capturing the star debris, they can return to the Star Sea spacecraft again and bring those things to the spacecraft.

The entire capture process lasted for more than 30 hours. Everything was as preset in the Yeluo program database. The bullets first smashed the asteroid, and then the filter captured a large number of star fragments, and then returned to the spacecraft. Before entering the spacecraft, Yeluo perfectly sealed these precious interstellar materials and stored them in the warehouse.

It does not have the authority to detect these interstellar matters by itself. It needs to wait until Wei Feng wakes up before it can analyze these matters under Wei Feng's command.

This is the only thing worth describing in this ten-year hibernation. After this incident, the Star Sea spacecraft once again restored peace. It still floated like a cold stone in this infinite universe until the arrival of a certain time node.

The pressurization equipment is turned on, the temperature control equipment is turned on, the gas circulation equipment is turned on, the relevant survival equipment is turned on, the lighting equipment is turned on, the thawing process begins...wake up...

"Hello, Captain, welcome to the world ten years later." Ye Luo said to Wei Feng.

Wei Feng opened his eyes with some difficulty, climbed up from the hibernation cabin with a little clumsyness, and still put on his clothes as if he had woken up for the first time, replenished some drinking water, and then it took a long time to slowly adapt to the environment here.

"How many parts have been damaged in these ten years? How many bugs have you accumulated? Are there any instructions on the earth conveyed? Have you... encountered any emergencies?"

"There are seventeen parts that you need to repair and replace. I have accumulated forty-five small bugs, and seventeen notices on the earth have been passed to me. Is there an emergency?... There is one thing."

Wei Feng was slightly surprised: "What is the emergency?"
