Chapter 403 Interstellar garbage dump?
Hearing Hongshi's murmur, Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly.
He turned his head to look at the holographic panel beside him, raised his hand and quickly swiped it a few times:
"The self-splitting detectors have detected the star field around the Xinaluo star system."
"I retrieved the detection reports of these detectors."
Hongshi's expression moved slightly, and he looked at Chen Fan sideways.
"It's the same as the previous detection results." Chen Fan thought and projected the detection information displayed in the holographic panel in front of everyone. "There are a total of 4 star systems, among which there are 7 habitable planets that meet the standards of the Human Union, but there is no trace of primitive life on each planet."
Chen Fan paused: "Although there is no primitive life on these planets, but... the detectors have found a large number of automatic mechanical equipment on these planets."
"Mechanical equipment?" A look of enlightenment flashed in Hongshi's eyes, "You mean..."
"Yes." Chen Fan called up the video data sent back from the split detector and added, "According to Yi's comparison test, the style of these automatic mechanical equipment is exactly the same as the construction style of the Xinaluo civilization. It is basically certain that they are the work of the Xinaluo civilization."
"Correspondingly, the rich resources in the Xinaluo star system may come from the surrounding star systems."
"In addition, there is another interesting information." Chen Fan looked at the holographic panel in front of him meaningfully, "The four star systems around the Xinaluo civilization, the farthest one is located 15 light years away."
"Hiss..."
Hongshi took a breath of cool air lightly: "This is indeed a bit contradictory."
"Having the ability to deploy automated mechanical devices 15 light years away, but unwilling to leave the Xinaluo star system..."
Looking at the increasingly dense large-scale mechanical equipment outside the porthole, she couldn't help but have an incredible thought in her heart: "... Is there something special about the Xinaluo star system?"
Buzz...
"The starship is about to arrive at its destination..."
As the electronic synthesis sound of Yi sounded, a slight and imperceptible tremor came from the deck under her feet. Under the reverse thrust of the antimatter engine, the investigator starship following the guide ship began to slow down in advance - unlike the curvature engine, the traditional engine has an indispensable acceleration and deceleration process during its operation.
Chen Fan subconsciously raised his head and looked directly in front of the starship.
Just one glance, he frowned.
A planet wrapped in layers of a large number of mechanical equipment appeared in front of him - orbital satellites, orbital fixed turrets, production equipment similar to space factories... All kinds of unknown machines were stacked together, forming an airtight mechanical shell outside this planet!
Let's put it this way.
Compared with the planet in front of him, Chen Fan thought that the Xinaluo star system that he had seen along the way, which was full of various mechanical debris, could even be called empty!
"This..."
Chen Fan couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart: "With so many high-altitude orbital equipment stacked together, can the sun still be seen normally on Xinaluo?"
"And... how should we get in?"
No one answered his question.
In fact, not only Chen Fan, but also the two assistants and Hongshi beside him were shocked by the messy scene in front of them.
Just as Chen Fan was muttering in his heart, an electromagnetic wave communication came from the guide ship in front.
[This is the home planet of Xinaluo civilization, Xinaluo. ]
[Please follow me. ]
The next second, under the gaze of Chen Fan and others, the guide ship cleverly drilled into these mechanical equipment.
It was not until then that Chen Fan suddenly discovered that in this mechanical shell composed of orbital turrets and various mechanical equipment, there were also reserved secret passages for starships to enter and exit!
Chen Fan stared in amazement as the guide ship disappeared dangerously into the mechanical shell in front of him.
He looked at Hongshi beside him, and then at Isa and Gao Yuan.
In the cockpit of the investigator starship, the four looked at each other.
The situation...
seems to be a little different from what I imagined?
This thing can also be called the mother planet of civilization?
To put it bluntly, what is the difference between this and some large garbage dumps in the dark? !
"If I remember correctly..." Chen Fan called up a video recording in the Starlight Forest with a smile, "The Xinaluo civilization that the ghost fleet showed us at that time... doesn't seem to be like this?"
In the video, the city of Xinaluo civilization is spacious and tidy.
He looked at the image in the holographic interface, and then looked at Xinaluo Star, which is comparable to a "space garbage dump" outside the porthole, and sighed deeply.
What is the wrong product, what is false propaganda...
Today, he has learned a lot! !
"Since I'm here..." Sensing the helplessness in Chen Fan's heart, Hongshi pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a stiff smile with some difficulty.
She spread her hands and whispered, "We have to go in and take a look, right?"
That's right.
Now that we're here, we have to go in and take a look.
Even if this is a garbage planet full of mechanical garbage, he can't give up halfway for the investigation mission.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan gritted his teeth and gave the order to move forward to the ship's main brain.
Under the control of the ship's main brain, the investigator starship followed closely behind the guide ship and barely passed through this not-so-spacious "passageway".
...
The passage is winding.
Following behind the guide ship and passing through this long passage, Chen Fan finally saw the true face of Xinaluo Star.
Looking at the scene outside the porthole, he suddenly widened his eyes: "This..."
The expected scene of a giant garbage dump did not appear.
The seemingly heavy mechanical shell composed of mechanical equipment and orbital satellites only covers the ultra-high altitude orbit of Xinaluo Star. The low-altitude orbit and the atmosphere are extremely clear, and almost no mechanical equipment can be seen.
This is not the most surprising thing.
Although this airtight mechanical shell almost blocks all sunlight from the outside, but... the inside of the mechanical shell is not dark, even as bright as day!
There is no artificial light source, all the light comes from the planet in the center!
——A planet with azure and green light all over its body quietly hangs in front of Chen Fan and others!
The planet...
is glowing! !
Unlike the blazing light of a star, the light of Xinaluo Star is a faint cold-toned fluorescence, and basically no heat can be felt.
Swish!
The guide ship fell into the planet's atmosphere first.
Chen Fan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly controlled the investigator starship to keep up with the opponent's pace.
After entering the atmosphere, the holographic panel on the main console quickly presented the general information of the planet.
Mass, density, internal composition of the planet...
These basic information are almost exactly the same as the New Varela of the node universe.
But there is a slight difference.
According to the calculation of the shipboard main brain, the water area of Xinaluo Star covers 47.9%. Although there are many oceans and lakes on it, compared with the New Varela Star transformed by Chen Fan, the water resources of Xinaluo Star are obviously not abundant.
In addition, the vegetation coverage rate of Xinaluo Star is quite high. Looking from the sky, almost all the land is covered with green.
This is not an interstellar garbage dump.
On the contrary.
Compared with the Xinaluo star system, the Xinaluo civilization has obviously spent a lot of energy on its home planet.
As the distance between the investigator starship and the ground continues to narrow, a lot of detailed information is gradually presented to Chen Fan and others.
The truth about the glow of the planet is finally revealed.
The many detection instruments of the Investigator Starship showed that the planet itself was normal. Like other rocky planets, it did not emit fluorescence. It was just an ordinary rocky planet.
At best...
the geographical location of this rocky planet is quite advantageous, just in the habitable zone of carbon-based life.
The glittering light seen in the sky is actually the light released by various creatures!
Plants, animals, plankton...
Under the high-precision shooting pictures provided by the shipboard main brain, all creatures on this planet can emit this faint cold-toned fluorescence!
"Unbelievable..."
Looking at the huge forest flashing with pale green light passing by the porthole, Chen Fan couldn't help but think of the Xinaluo civilization that the ghost fleet showed him.
The Xinaluo people in the information interference image also use the flashing light on their body surface to transmit information!
Now it seems that not only the Xinaluo people, but I am afraid that all the creatures on the Xinaluo planet have this magical ability!
...
More than ten minutes later.
Following the guide ship, the Investigator Starship finally arrived above a huge city.
The city was hidden in the forest. Through the leaves that flashed with emerald green fluorescence, Chen Fan could vaguely see the layout and buildings inside the city.
The towering tower-like buildings, the flat road surface, and the soldiers patrolling the streets in huge humanoid armors...
Everything was exactly the same as the scene shown by the ghost fleet on Varela!
The power of the antimatter engine gradually weakened. With the help of the anti-gravity system, the khaki investigator starship landed silently on the angular landing platform in the center of the city.
Not far away, the door of the guide ship suddenly opened, and several huge humanoid armors walked out quickly from it and greeted the khaki investigator starship.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan, who had already stood up and walked to the hatch of the investigator starship, issued an order: "One, check the surrounding environment again."
"...Environmental testing has been completed."
An electronic synthesized voice came from the smart terminal in Chen Fan's right hand: "The atmosphere meets the standards, is non-toxic, and does not require life support devices."
"In addition, this machine needs to remind you one thing."
Just as Chen Fan was about to open the hatch, Yi added: "The oxygen content on this planet is high, and it is easy to get oxygen intoxication. Please pay attention when you are active."
Chen Fan nodded to show that he understood, and then issued an order to open the hatch.
Buzz...
Accompanied by a slight vibration, the tightly closed heavy hatch slowly opened, and Chen Fan took a step and stepped onto this strange planet.
He took a breath carefully, and the moment the high concentration of oxygen entered his lungs, he brought him an extremely strong sense of sobriety.
Suddenly!
Not far away, the humanoid armors who were slowly approaching seemed to have seen something incredible and suddenly stopped their steps!
