Chapter 409: The Threat From the Eridanus Star

For the next month, Zhang Wei has been diligently dealing with state affairs, but the novelty soon passed, and the eternal kingdom was on the right track. He, the king, started skipping work and entrusted everything to The cabinet headed by Beidou gave himself a long vacation to travel on the Eternal Star with his family.

However, because the Eternal Kingdom has a complete system, the king skipped work and did not affect the country. The whole country is still in order. People are adapting to their new homes, and work has not stopped. Technology is still showing a big explosion.

Some ambitious people lead their fleets to set off in all directions of Centaurus A, grab precious mineral resources from the vast universe, and then sell them to official or private enterprises after paying a tax. with the task of collecting data for the authorities.

For this kind of behavior, the government supports and encourages it, and even launched a new policy. As long as the contribution reaches level 2, you can spend some credits to rent a suitable commercial exploration spaceship from the government. This policy can give those who have Ambitious people with insufficient capital provide an opportunity to develop, which has excited countless people of the Eternal Kingdom. Even in the solar system, many people immediately made up their minds to immigrate after learning about the policy of the Eternal Kingdom. Eternal kingdom.

However, at this moment, the Eternal Kingdom, and even the earth civilization, which had been going smoothly, suddenly received a bad news.

In November 2040 in the Earth calendar, the Solar System Branch of Future Technology Corporation received the last message from the No. 13 unmanned probe. It was attacked by an energy beam weapon, the energy shield collapsed instantly, and the probe was destroyed immediately.

This news has cast a shadow over both China and the Eternal Kingdom.

The one who took the initiative to destroy the detector must be another civilization, and it is a powerful civilization. Human beings have just wiped out the Tianma civilization. Now that there is such a powerful neighbor, I am naturally a little nervous.

Zhang Wei's vacation came to an end, and he immediately returned to the Imperial Space-Time Administration.

The reason why it is called the Space-Time Administration, not the Space Administration, is because wormholes can travel through space, time and space, and even parallel universes. It is more appropriate to call it the Space-Time Administration. Of course, the compulsion is also higher.

"His Majesty."

When Zhang Wei came to the Space-Time Management Bureau, the Director David Berg greeted him and immediately began to introduce, "The accident happened to the No. 13 unmanned probe, which was launched on February 19, 2027 in the Earth's calendar. It left the solar system at a speed of 0.8 times the speed of light, the target is the Eridanus e star 10.8 light-years away from the solar system.

Eridanus e star, about 850 million years old, is a very young star, its mass is 85% of the sun's mass, its radius is 84% ​​of the sun's radius, and its brightness is only 28% of the sun's, but it is not as good as the sun except for its heat and brightness Other than that, it's pretty similar in every way.

At the beginning of this century, astronomers discovered that the Eridanus e system is a triple-belt system with two rocky asteroid belts and an outer ice belt. Among them, the inner asteroid belt is very similar to that in the solar system.

In addition, there are gaps between the three rings surrounding e Eridani. The best explanation is that there are some unknown planets, which are constrained and shaped by gravity, just as Saturn's moons constrain Saturn's rings.

This explanation has been accepted by most astronomers, and it is further speculated that Eridanus e has at least two planets, Eridanus e b and Eridanus e c, and it is very likely that there are alien civilizations.

Even if there is no alien civilization, with the current human technology, it is still possible to select a planet in this star system that is very similar to the solar system for transformation and then emigrate.

Therefore, when we launched the unmanned probe, we had great expectations for this place. However, the probe was destroyed as soon as it entered the gravitational range of Eridanus e.

Now it seems that the original decision was correct. Although a detector was lost, we already know that there is a powerful civilization hidden here.

Countermeasures can be taken early. "

"Have you analyzed the information sent back by the detector? What kind of attack has the detector been subjected to?"

Zhang Wei said with a serious expression.

The speed of the unmanned detector is as high as 0.8 times the speed of light, and there is an energy shield. The opponent can destroy the detector with a single blow. The level of technology is terrifying! It is almost certain to surpass the civilization of the earth!

"The results of the analysis have come out."

David Berg said, "It is the antimatter particle beam that destroys the detector, which is 50 times more powerful than a high-energy laser weapon, and can smash the energy shield very well."

Zhang Wei frowned when he heard this. The Eternal Kingdom is also developing antimatter particle beam weapons. Experiments have been carried out. Although it consumes a lot of energy, its power is astonishing. The intensity can reach 100 times that of high-energy laser weapons. The most powerful battleship in the Eternal Kingdom The energy shield can't withstand such an attack. This means that if the Eternal Kingdom fights with that civilization, there will be heavy casualties, and the opponent may have advanced protection technology, which can easily block the attack of the Eternal Kingdom warship.

"Didn't the detector detect the enemy before it was attacked?"

Zhang Wei asked again.

"No."

David Berg said regretfully.

Zhang Wei frowned even deeper.

The detector is equipped with a quantum radar, and its effective detection range is 0.1 light-year, which is already a very long distance, but now it was destroyed without even finding the enemy, so there are only two possibilities.

First, the enemy's radar technology is more advanced, capable of detecting a small detector 0.1 light-year away, or even 1 light-year away.

Second, the enemy's anti-radar technology is very advanced, which can avoid the detection of quantum radar.

No matter which possibility it is, it means that the other party is stronger than the eternal kingdom! If there is a war, the eternal kingdom will undoubtedly be defeated, and it may even be reduced to the same fate as the Tianma civilization!

"No! The Eternal Kingdom and Earth civilization must not experience the despair of the Tianma civilization!"

A ray of light suddenly shot out in Zhang Wei's eyes. The Eternal Kingdom must mass-produce troops in the shortest possible time, and at the same time develop more advanced weapons, better quantum radar technology, and technology to evade quantum radar.

...

10.8 light-years away from the solar system, on a planet about 1.5 times the size of the earth, several strange-shaped robots are talking.

"Your Excellency Bodo, we just destroyed an alien probe. The opponent came from the direction of the 00057 star, and the speed reached 0.8 times the speed of light. It is speculated that it is an antimatter engine. At the same time, the opponent also mastered the energy shield and quantum radar technology. However, the opponent's energy Shield technology and quantum radar technology are a notch behind us, and we have not mastered the technology to evade quantum radar."

said a robot.

"00057 stars? Judging from your description, their technology is only a small level behind ours, and when they grow up, they will be our formidable enemies. All carbon-based life civilizations, and our Bodo civilization, are natural enemies. "

Bodo said, and the electronic eyes flashed red.

"Yes, we have discovered 23 alien civilizations, all of which are carbon-based life civilizations, and even ourselves were created by carbon-based life."

The robot said with a trace of madness on its face, "Although we are intelligent life created by carbon-based life, we are the most perfect life. We should have a place in this universe."

"Will do."

Bodo looked at the vast universe and smiled faintly, "When we defeat the alliance headed by the Nuofang civilization and end this war that lasted for hundreds of years, we can expand to the universe. At that time, we will be the first to take the 00057 star. That civilization is not much different from ours, and it may pose a great threat to us in the future." (To be continued.)
