Chapter 827 The tangled goddess of revenge

"It's not clear yet, sir. We still need a lot of more detailed information, but we don't have enough technology, so we can only wait a little longer."

Dong Chen was not very satisfied with No. 1's explanation, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Their current highest technology is the technology obtained from the third world that has developed into the interstellar age.

It's a pity that his world only has one area, not the whole world, and even the planet doesn't belong to him.

This restriction limits the scope of technology he can obtain, so it also limits the amount of information he can obtain now.

"Then determine what it is as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Dong Chen frowned and pondered for a moment before continuing, "If we send investigation equipment to take the initiative to approach, can we get detailed information earlier, such as specific images and so on?"

Regarding Dong Chen's question, No. 1 gave a relatively negative answer, "It doesn't make much sense, sir."

"The small equipment is not very fast in terms of flight speed or detection power. By the time it flies near the target, the large equipment in the asteroid belt command center may have obtained enough data, and the optical equipment may have obtained the target image. "

"If it is a very large device, then the risk of us being discovered by the target will be very high, which may not be conducive to us maintaining the relative initiative. Moreover, the very large device also involves a manufacturing time issue, and the effect may be the same as what we have in The wait here is about the same.”

"Of course, if the target is a planet, then you don't have to worry about these discovery problems, but there is too little data now and we can't be sure yet."

Hearing No. 1's explanation, Dong Chen scratched his head in annoyance, "If it really is the "Goddess of Vengeance", I would rather come to an alien spacecraft."

"Our conventional maximum detection range is one light-year in radius. Although it is not a real-time detection, it is at least a scan in one day. It cannot cover one light-year in three days. It is probably not as powerful as us, and it does not even have the ability to jump in space."

"Now that we have discovered it, active monitoring should have been turned on, right?"

"Yes, sir, the target has been tracked in real time. I believe there will be a lot of useful information for calculation soon." Number 1 replied.

"That's good, I hope it's a spaceship, because if it's really that planet, it's really not easy to get." Dong Chen sighed.

Nemesis is a legendary celestial body. It is named after Nemesis, the goddess of revenge in Greek mythology, which is enough to prove its danger. However, there is no evidence of the existence of this celestial body so far.

Of course, there is no evidence that it doesn't exist.

It is actually a solar companion star hypothesized by scientists to explain the cause of the Earth's periodic mass extinctions. The star is a dwarf star located 50,000 to 100,000 AU from the sun, which is approximately the distance of the Oort cloud.

If that light spot is this thing, then it may be the culprit behind the continuous destruction and change of civilization on earth, including the famous extinction event of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

The companion star has an inferred orbital period of 26 million years and wanders at a distance of 0.8 to 1.4 light-years from the sun. When its orbit enters the Oort cloud and reaches perihelion, it periodically changes the Oort through its gravitational influence. The orbits of comets and asteroids within the cloud cause some comets and asteroids to enter the inner solar system under the influence of gravity.

Among them, a small number of comets and asteroids that entered the inner solar system were affected by the Earth's gravity and were captured by the Earth, becoming near-Earth asteroids. Some larger comets or asteroids were affected by the Earth's gravity and periodically hit the Earth.

Every time the earth suffers a large-scale impact, the internal environment will undergo drastic changes, the temperature will rise sharply, and all living things will die off the earth on a large scale.

Moreover, a large number of stars in the Milky Way are binary or multi-star systems. An extra companion star is nothing new at all. So if the solar system also has one, it will easily explain the reasons for some previously unexplained astronomical events. .

And scientists have discovered that the sun is accelerating in a certain direction. This acceleration phenomenon cannot be well explained by the overall gravitational force of the Milky Way on the sun. Some scholars have proposed that the sun's accelerating motion is the result of the attraction of a certain companion star.

There are also some rare gravitational phenomena within the solar system, which seem to confirm that there is a large star outside the solar system that we have not discovered. One of the important clues is Sedna, a dwarf planet outside the orbit of Pluto, whose orbit is eccentric The rate is extremely high, with perihelion and aphelion being 76 astronomical units and 975 astronomical units respectively.

This amazing eccentricity seems to indirectly prove the existence of this star. When the possible Nemesis star moves near the perihelion, the dwarf planet may be affected by the gravity of the sun and the gravity of the Nemesis star at the same time. Thus its orbit and eccentricity are affected.

Of course, all these statements are still hypotheses. Human beings still have no direct evidence to prove whether this planet exists. Anyway, scientists have been arguing for a long time.

In the final analysis, this phenomenon is due to the fact that human astronomical technology is not developed enough and cannot even figure out the secrets of the solar system.

If Dong Chen discovered this mysterious celestial body by mistake this time, it would have to be a big discovery.

"...It's just that it will take 26 million years for this planet to get close to the sun. It will be at least 15 million years before it reaches perihelion next time. Isn't it a little too early to have entered a light-year distance at this time?"

"What it did when the earth's civilization was going through the Great Filter, and it happened to be photographed by us..."

"Isn't this also one of the Great Filter's test questions?!"

"After all, there is conjecture that if Revenge Star really exists, then it will definitely be affected by other stars around it. The period time will not be the standard 26 million years. There may be multiple orbits, and the period time is also impossible. It’s determined to be 2600, it may be shorter, it may be longer.”

"Isn't this just in time?"

Looking at the information displayed on the 1st, Dong Chen felt his head hurt more and more the more he thought about it.

He was still confident of dealing with an asteroid attack, but it would be unbearable to have such a nemesis next to you, who would attack you with large-scale asteroid attacks every day.

There is a source of dangerous gravity, and this threat will certainly not be resolved in a short time unless the source is directly addressed.

But the source is most likely an incomplete star.

Stars, even if they are incompletely reproduced, they are still stars and cannot be solved by him.

Maybe he has the ability to complete the third world, so he can compete with this Nemesis, but what he got is not even a castrated version. At most, it is a trial version, and it is the first chapter in the trial version. There is no way I can play with such a big guy.

"Sir..." Number 1 watched silently from the side, feeling that human beings' ability to brainstorm is really terrible. No wonder many people can force themselves into mental hospitals.

"It's better to wait until you get the specific data and know what it is before worrying about it. Your current imagination is unfounded. It's just you who are making things difficult for yourself. There is no need."

Hearing what No. 1 said, Dong Chen wiped his face hard for the last time, looked at the time and said, "Well, let's do it. It's getting late. I'll go to bed first. If there's any emergency, wake me up."

"Okay sir," No. 1 smiled, "When you wake up, you may have accurate news."

"I hope, I hope it's good news, otherwise I might be even more confused than I am now," Dong Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It was quite enjoyable to eat delicious food under the night sky, but unexpectedly, such news came, which directly messed up the nature of his meal.

"By the way, let's make some small reconnaissance equipment. Once the situation is determined, we can use it directly without wasting time and waiting."

"Okay, sir."
