Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 316 Pot Cover Mangmang Star

What does an alien civilization lack?

This sentence made the entire conference hall fall into deep thought.

Because they had never really come into contact with aliens, the Nairs were still thinking about trading with the other two star regions. Now that Guda reminded them, they suddenly realized that the aliens were indeed different from trading within the civilization.

But what exactly do they need?

"Technology!" After a while, a Nair figured it out.

Since there is no shortage of various mineral resources, there is only technology.

As for energy, as a second-level civilization, as long as there are stones, there will be no shortage of energy, so the least likely thing is energy.

And now that the aliens have gone to the Pot Cover Mangmang Star, even if they need some rare metals, the First Star Region will get them first.

The Da Lie Star, which is more than ten light years away, can't compete with the Pot Cover Mangmang Star at all. Therefore, the only thing that can be traded with aliens is the technology of the Second Star Region itself.

"For technology." Guda took over the conversation, "including scientific theories, technical branches of various disciplines, and various manufacturing processes. What we need, as aliens of the same level, must also be needed. Therefore, the personnel who will go to the Pot Cover Mangmang Star with me this time have certain requirements. First of all, we need a group of economic experts, and secondly, scientists, linguists, and experts in various fields."

As expected of the chief think tank, his brain is useful.

Hearing Guda's words, all the Nair people in the hall were secretly convinced, and they all knew what it meant.

Since we want to do technology trade, there must be two trading directions for the exchange, one is the physical technology products, and the other is various non-physical technology information.

Since it is technology information, it must require the participation of scientists. After all, only scientists can analyze which information is true and which information is false.

"Oh" After a pause, the chief think tank Guda vibrated the vocal organ in his abdomen again: "In addition to various scientific and technological information, perhaps we can also transport some animals and plants of our civilization."

Who knew that as soon as he spoke, a Nair person asked in confusion: "Animals and plants? What value can those things have!"

"Maybe!" Guda was not very sure.

Perhaps because the mother planet still exists, or perhaps because they have never encountered other biospheres, the Nair people did not realize the preciousness of biosphere resources as deeply as humans.

In the Nair civilization, there is no such argument as "biosphere resources are cosmic treasures", so for a while, Guda could not explain it clearly. He just thought that he could get some over, anyway, the transport ship was empty. Maybe the animals and plants that are worthless in their own civilization are of great value to aliens.

In this way, without the knowledge of humans, the second star field of the Nair civilization formulated a set of coping methods, and sent the formulated strategies to the Pot Cover Star through their own communication channels.

The speed of information transmission is the speed of light, which is definitely faster than the human fleet. Therefore, when the human fleet was still sailing quietly, the news from the second star field was transmitted to the Pot Cover Mangmang Star before the human fleet.

In order to avoid human suspicion, while sending a message to the Pot Cover Mangmang Star, the second star field of the Nair civilization also sent a reply to humans.

It roughly said that we Nair had already notified the Pot Cover Mangmang Star, so that human civilization could go there with peace of mind, and also did not forget to tell humans about the news that we were going to transport some materials from the Da Lie Star to the Pot Cover Mangmang Star.

This move has greatly improved the trust of humans.

The Da Lie Star is about 14.6 light years away from the Pot Cover Mangmang Star, which is already very close in this barren land with sparse stars.

It takes about 30 years for the information to go back and forth, and when the second star field of the Nair civilization sent the information to the Pot Cover Mangmang Star, it would take 27 years for humans to arrive at the destination.

In other words, the communication between the first star field and the second star field of the Nair civilization can only be done once, and humans will arrive.

As expected by humans, as long as the fleet does not enter the deceleration state, it is difficult to detect it in the universe.

Twenty-seven years later, when the fleet was not ordered to enter the deceleration state, the human fleet did not receive any communication information even when it came to 0.3 light years away from the Pot Cover Mangmang Star.

At this time, the human advance probe team had already approached the outermost planetary orbit of the Pot Cover Mangmang Star star system, with a specific distance of about 0.008 light years, or 505 astronomical units.

Well, you may not have an idea just by looking at the numerical value. This distance is about 12.6 times the distance from the sun to Pluto. From this point of view, it is indeed far enough.

At such a long distance, it is impossible for a second-level civilization to discover a few small probes without engines.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there are so many cosmic civilizations, but they are rarely encountered in cosmic star navigation.

After getting the answer, Yue Yuan on the Tianqin said to the staff: "Let the probe team start to slow down. Well, also send an electromagnetic wave broadcast to the direction of the Pot Cover Mangmang Star."

The electromagnetic wave broadcast power of the probe team is enough at a distance of 0.08 light years. I believe that if they continue to shout, they will soon receive a reply from the Pot Cover Mangmang Star.

Taking advantage of this time, scientists on the human fleet side used various probes and telescopes to observe the Pot Cover Mangmang Star.

For the observation fleet, 0.3 light years is far away, but if the observation target is changed to a star, then the distance is close.

So without spending too much effort, some general information about the Pot Cover Star was included in the human database.

The star type is the same as the previous observation. The Pot Cover Star is a red dwarf, spectral type K, with an average surface temperature of only 2067 Kelvin, which is more than half of the sun. The mass is only about a quarter of the sun, which is smaller than Proxima Centauri.

The metallic abundance is -0.16135, a third-generation star, and belongs to the extremely long-lived type. Human scientists estimate that if it dies, this red dwarf can probably live for 8 trillion years.

Compared with the short-lived star that can only live for 100+ billion years like the sun, this guy is almost as long-lived as the sky.

According to the uninterrupted observations during this period, even if the human probe has not actually entered this star system, it knows that it has planets. If the observation is correct, then it should have 5 planets.

As for how many rocky planets and how many gaseous planets there are, we can only know it if the probe goes deeper.

However, after all, it is the territory of the Nair civilization, and they have already known the arrival of humans in advance, so there is no need for humans to observe it themselves.

Since they have promised humans to resupply here, Yue Yuan believes that the Nair civilization will also send this star system map after receiving the information.

After all, only by indicating the location on the star system map can humans know where they should stop.

Sure enough, not long after the probe slowed down and sent out electromagnetic wave broadcasts, Tianqin received a message with a map of the Pot Cover Star.
