Chapter 273 Return

When reaching the edge of the solar system, that is, the orbit of Pluto, the speed of the progress of the leaf fall relative to the sun has been reduced to less than 2,000 kilometers per second. If you continue to move forward at this speed, the leaf fall will arrive on Earth in almost a month.

The speed of 2,000 kilometers per second is actually no longer considered faster than some warships created by human civilization at this moment. This means that the spacecraft moving forward at this speed is actually easily captured by observatories or bases of human civilization. However... Ye Luo did not receive any signal from human civilization at this moment, that is, no human civilization creation discovered Ye Luo at this moment.

Under the observation of the high-precision optics and radio telescopes equipped on Ye Luo, the entire solar system appears quiet. This seems to mean something unknown. Ye Luo is just an intelligent program, and it does not have its own emotional reaction, so Ye Luo just lowers a certain rating in its internal program from a. The lower the rating, the lower the probability of human civilization surviving.

Ye Luo took a total of 330 years to sail from the South Gate Two Galaxy to this place. Perhaps because of his good luck, Ye Luo did not encounter any catastrophic events during the journey. Occasionally, some minor failures occurred, which were completely within the range that Ye Luo could deal with. But after more than three hundred years of voyage, Ye Luo was inevitably destroyed. It was like a traveler who was traveling through mountains and rivers, and his body revealed a kind of exhaustion and dilapidation everywhere.

Ye Luo will never forget that there is another person waiting for him in the distant South Gate two galaxy. In fact, in Ye Luo's internal program segment at this moment, "returning to the solar system and then taking people to save Wei Feng" is the highest priority task. It is this task that supports Ye Luo's journey that has been traversing a long time and a distant journey. But... where has human civilization gone?

Ye Luo adjusted his sailing posture, aimed the engine in the direction of the sun, and then activated it again. The light blue light ejected from the tail of the engine. Under the push of the flame, Ye Luo's speed began to further decrease.

Adjusting the navigation posture and starting the engine to spray two simple actions means that many instruments inside the spacecraft are synergistically operating. The synergistic operation of these instruments is no longer as flexible as they were at the beginning. If there is air that can conduct sound here, the sound detector of the leaf falling sound can probably detect the harsh sound of metal friction, but fortunately, although it is very worn, it can barely operate.

It seems that there is no difference here from the tens of trillions of kilometers that Ye Luo has crossed before. They are all the same empty and dark. It is the black and silence that makes people desperate like thick ink. Ye Luo slowly slows down and moves forward in such an environment.

Although the mass of the Xinghai spacecraft has been reduced by more than 99%, Ye Luo still used up all the remaining fuel when sailing from the South Gate 2 Galaxy. This means that after coming to the solar system, Ye Luo's own abilities alone cannot leave the solar system. Only by obtaining the help of human civilization can Ye Luo start traveling again, otherwise Ye Luo will stay in the solar system forever.

That was an extremely terrifying ending. Stay in the solar system and when the fuel is finally consumed, Ye Luo will stop running and fall asleep. This sleep... may have been billions of years. By that time, Wei Feng might have died long ago.

Ye Luo was still moving slowly. After about twelve days after crossing the orbit of Pluto, Ye Luo came to the orbit of Neptune. The brightness of the sun further increased, but Ye Luo still did not receive any information from human civilization. Instead, he observed many steel fragments that emitted an ominous aura, just like the fragments he had observed in the outer solar system and the South Gate two galaxies.

Those fragments indicate the demise of Martian civilization, and what does these fragments at this moment indicate?

After crossing Neptune's orbit, Ye Luo used the antenna equipped on his body to send out the first broadcast in front of the solar system: "Hello, I am the Xinghai spacecraft. No matter who receives this message, please give an answer, please answer..."

The first broadcast did not receive a response. So three hours later, Ye Luo started the second broadcast again, but the second broadcast did not receive a response. So Ye Luo increased the broadcast frequency to once an hour, broadcasting while moving forward.

When Ye Luo was about to reach the orbit of Uranus, a response message was finally passed to Ye Luo's antenna. At the moment of receiving the message, Ye Luo immediately decoded it and quickly understood the meaning of this piece of information.

"Hello Xinghai spacecraft, this is the Uranus Deep Space Monitoring Station No. 3. Please submit your spacecraft number, navigation destination, and navigation mission code. We will provide you with the help you need."

Ye Luo replied: "Sorry, I don't know what my spaceship number is, and I don't have a navigation mission code."

The response from Uranus Deep Space Monitoring Station 3 was quick: "How could you not have a spacecraft number and mission code? When did you set out, what was your mission? What is your current situation? Have you encountered an accident during your voyage?"

Ye Luo replied: "My departure time... Well, the exact time is 837 years, six months, sixteen days, three hours, sixteen minutes and seventeen seconds ago. The mission I was carrying out was to sail from the solar system to the South Gate II Galaxy and then return. I did encounter an accident during my voyage. I am the artificial intelligence program of this spacecraft. My captain is now staying in the South Gate II Galaxy and waiting for the rescue of human civilization."

Faced with Ye Luo's answer, the staff of Uranus Deep Space Monitoring Station maintained a long silence. After a long time of response, he arrived: "Oh, I think you must be joking. May I ask, are you a human?"

"I am not a human, I am the artificial intelligence program of the Xinghai spacecraft." Ye Luo replied, "But my captain is a human, and he is still staying in the South Gate Two Galaxy waiting for rescue."

"Please slow down immediately. Our monitoring station will send a spacecraft to inspect your spacecraft on site." The staff of the monitoring station No. 3 began to speak seriously: "We have reported your situation to the superior authorities. You cannot enter the solar system for the time being before obtaining permission."

"Sorry." Ye Luo said, "My speed is too fast now, and I can't slow down to a standstill in a short period of time. And if I slow down, I will lose the motivation to continue moving because I don't have much fuel anymore."

"Please report your coordinates." said the staff of the No. 3 monitoring station.

"Oh, okay, my coordinates are..." Ye Luo sent a series of information over and continued, "By the way, I need to remind you that the solar system coordinate system I used was used more than 800 years ago compared to you, and now you may have given up on this coordinate system."

The staff of the No. 3 monitoring station immediately replied: "Please prepare to receive the coordinate system information we are using now, and then mark your location on the coordinate system."

Ye Luo immediately received a lot of information. After translation, Ye Luo quickly mastered the use of this coordinate system. So Ye Luo once again reported his coordinate system. So he sent a piece of information over again: "Very good, our sky patrol and monitoring system has captured your existence. Now please start sailing towards the Deep Space 6 Deep Space Detection Base. At this moment, the distance between you and the Deep Space 6 Deep Space Detection Base is enough for you to use for slowing down. Our staff will conduct inspections on you there, and at the same time, please do not need to worry about fuel issues. The staff of the Deep Space Detection Base will provide you with enough fuel replenishment."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Luo said as he adjusted his navigation track and increased the slowing pace. After a slight pause, Ye Luo said again: "Hello... can I take the liberty to ask? Human civilization... how is it now? Is the war over?"

The staff of the No. 3 Test Base replied: "Sorry, we cannot tell you any information about the solar system before you pass the inspection. At the same time, please cooperate with our work. If you show any hostile actions, our police officers will destroy you immediately. If you finally pass the inspection, the staff of the No. 6 Test Base will answer all your questions."

Ye Luo said, "Okay, I understand."

The communication with the Deep Space Monitoring Base No. 3 was disconnected, and the communication channel of the No. 6 detection base was then connected to establish a communication connection with Ye Luo. The staff of the No. 6 base sent a large number of navigation parameters to Ye Luo, and Ye Luo followed the guidance of these parameters and gradually came to a small base suspended in the void that looked very broken on the outside.

Ye Luo then controlled the Xinghai spacecraft to stop in the designated cabin. A moment later, more than a dozen staff members wearing fully isolated space suits hurried to the Xinghai spacecraft. After seeing the appearance of these staff members, a message flashed immediately in Ye Luo's internal program segment: "Fortunately, it's still humans that occupy the solar system at this moment, and fortunately humans have not yet perished..."
