Chapter 41 Three-Star System

South Gate II, namely Centauri's α star, is a three-star system, while the three-star system is a binary star system generally composed of a pair of binary stars and another star with a distance.

In South Gate 2, two stars, Centauri α-star a and Centauri α-star b, form a binary star system, while Centauri α-star c is the independent star relatively far away from these two stars. This star is known in the exploration of the earth, namely Proxima Centauri.

Based on various factors, Proxima Centauri is not only the closest star to Earth, but also its cosmic environment is relatively stable. In the astronomical observations of the Earth in the early years, there was a terrestrial planet theoretically located in the habitable zone of the stars around Proxima Centauri, which was only 4.25 light years away from the Earth. At that time, it was once considered the most suitable place for Earth to immigrate.

This is because, although the Proxima Centament system is a three-star system, the distance between Proxima Centament is actually quite far from another binary star system, about 15,000 au (au is the distance between the earth and the sun, 1 au is about 150 million kilometers). This distance may not be too far in a large-scale starry sky environment, but when you truly step into this star field, you will realize that this is still a huge distance of astronomical numbers.

From Centauri's α-star c, that is, Proxima Centauri, they also appear particularly small in their field of view.

But if the descendants are here, it is unknown whether there may be a chance to shoot down three stars.

However, neither Xu Youyang nor Song Boyi have the idea of ​​being an enemy of Hengxing - with the force of the warships in their hands, there is no possibility.

Song Boyi was a little nervous. What he didn't expect was that the task assigned to him by the commander was to find the home star of the Proxima fleet.

Although the Proxima fleet was named this name by the Earthlings and the New Beijing fleet, the Proxima fleet's parent planet could not be really this Centaur alpha star c - of course they could not live on the stars.

Of course, the Proxima Century may be anywhere in this airspace. It is not difficult to see from the star-class warships that they have completely escaped from the shackles of the ground and are hidden in any corner of this airspace.

If it weren't for the clear data of the swarm, the Proxima Centarium fleet's "home" is here, and the Xinjing fleet would not even dare to determine their location 100%.

"Your missions have three: 1. Find the specific location of Proxima Centauri's 'home' as much as possible. It may be a terrestrial planet or a huge space planet-level fortress that is completely invisible and completely undetectable. You can adapt to the situation. 2. Tell Proxima Centauri that you are here and we are looking for them; 3. Come back alive, remember, I don't plan to let you two warships blow up Proxima Centauri's lair or mother star. The key to your mission is to appear, attack rather than achieve any results. With the absolute caution that Proxima Centauri's fleet has shown before, if their parent star or fortress is really located in a corner of Proxima Centauri's three-star system, then there must be heavy troops there, which cannot be broken through at will. These two warships and you are both the shortage of the Xinjing fleet. I want you to come back alive."

This was what Su Ran and they said before they set sail. There were no inspiring words, but rather very realistic.

Xu Youyang and Song Boyi both understood Su Ran’s thoughts.

This is both a strategic layout and a warning to Proxima Centauri.

However, this is not an easy thing to do.

Nearly five hours ago, they had appeared in this space, and even circled the star α-star c of Centauri for a long time, but they could not find any Proxima Centauri.

Of course, in this process, Xu Youyang and Song Boyi were extremely careful. Although their two new silver warships were a little less firepower, they had both exploration, mobility and concealment functions, which were still very suitable for the current mission. Moreover, after discussion between Song Boyi and Xu Youyang, they decided to show their attitude as an attack team that came to explore and bomb.

Therefore, these two silver warships, which are essentially not very powerful in combat, act like bombers sneaking behind enemy lines.

This also makes full use of the hidden capabilities of the silver fighter jets. Judging from the previous performance of the Earth Battle, Proxima Centauri's exploration could not penetrate the silver warships, which gave them enough room for disguise.

But the gains are quite small.

However, after a long circle, Song Boyi and Xu Youyang discovered the Earth-like planet that was once discovered by Earth astronomers early and believed could be a future human immigrant planet.

but……

This is a "still" planet.

Song Boyi and his three silver warships got closer and noticed that the planet was almost hollowed out.

The huge stars are like a huge "fish ball" that has been bitten away. Half of the planet, including the deep core, has been empty, and the surface of the planet is dead silent, revealing almost the same dismal and desolation as the surrounding boundless dark universe.

It's like a dismembered corpse.

This is a trace after the raging civilization.

This further proves that a civilization is rising in this starry sky.

Of course, maybe it is not the rise, maybe the Proxima Crane fleet is also an alien civilization.

"Maybe it's really a huge artificial fortress." Xu Youyang looked at the miserable star with a slightly deeper look. Even if it was her, she felt a sense of horror as if she was trapped in a demon's cave at this moment.

She was extremely sure that the Proxima Crane fleet was in this space space, and it was huge in scale, with warships everywhere!

However, they are also in a state of hiding, not showing any trace, just like the two silver warships now.

However, they have not found Proxima Centauri yet from the Xinjing Fleet, but they don’t know if Proxima Centauri has found them.

This feeling of being like a ray of light on your back is not good.

In the darkness, who can discover who first?

"We will bypass it and turn here again, and there may be new discoveries." Song Boyi took a deep breath. There were dark starry sky around him, and the broken planets in the distance were close at hand. There were traces of a powerful civilization raging everywhere, but there were no traces of high-tech civilizations.

There is only one answer, they are dormant in the darkness.

Song Boyi suddenly remembered the metaphor in science fiction novels he had read a long time ago.

The starry sky is like a huge grave.

And civilization is the ghost that shuttles through this cemetery.

The ghosts are playing a game of catching people.

Whoever is discovered first will change from ghosts to humans.

...

...

The last metaphor was originally intended to use the dark forest, but after considering the current atmosphere, it seemed to be inappropriate...
