Chapter 132 Mysterious Crystal ([-])

Sun Xiang complained quite a bit about the spaceship's energy defense shield. Once the shield couldn't stop the meteorite, the defense equipment would always be overloaded. The automatic protection of overload would start three times in a row, and then the defense shield would disappear.Sun Xiang made up his mind that after the adventure was over, he must change to another energy defense system. Fortunately, he had the source force shield, otherwise everyone on board would have been floating in space long ago.

Five days after the spaceship entered the land of no return, the automatic equipment in the studio completed the remaining parts of the robot. The five robots are now on standby. If there is any danger in the future, they will be pioneers.During the voyage for more than ten consecutive days, Sun Xiang didn't sleep at all. Although he was in good spirits, his concentration was not as concentrated as before. Continuously encountering dangers made him get used to danger.

"There is another meteorite area ahead, do you want to wake up Claude?" Monman is now in charge of weapons and defense. He found another meteorite area detected in front of the spaceship, so he reminded Sun Xiang.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Xiang replied: "No need, let him sleep! He hasn't closed his eyes for three days. Too tired will cause negligence. Let me come to this meteorite area!" Said Sun Xiang lowered the boat Speed ​​up, looking for a suitable entry point.

"Be careful, there are some giant meteorites in this meteorite area, which are widely distributed." Monman was a little worried after looking at the detection map.

"Well, I saw it." Sun Xiang said while manipulating the spaceship into the meteorite area.The meteorites in this meteorite area are relatively "calm". Most of the meteorites maintain the same speed and fly in one direction. Occasionally, only some small meteorites fly randomly.Relying on the operational skills he had developed recently, Sun Xiang walked slowly among large and medium-sized meteorites like a fish. His experience some time ago let him know that it is better to use weapons or not to operate in the meteorite area. It was the last resort, so he tried his best to avoid obstacles in the channel.

"Unidentified gas was detected in the front and left of the spaceship." Sharna, who was still sleeping just now, had stood next to the control platform at some point. Her task was to scan and detect some abnormalities. Once she found something, she would immediately notify the captain. Now the position of captain is Sun Xiang, so she said to Sun Xiang.

Gas has never been found in the meteorite area before, because the mass and gravitational force of the meteorite area are not enough to confine the gas in a certain area. It's incredible.

"Sampling and analysis will be carried out after the spaceship enters the gas." Sun Xiang ordered Sharna softly.Human beings are always full of curiosity about inconceivable things, and Sun Xiang is no exception in this respect. He wants to see what is so special about these gases, that they can gather in the meteorite area and not dissipate.

Although this is not a scientific research ship, the sampling of the gas outside the ship is quite simple.Sharna manipulated the robotic arm to grab the sampling cup and extend it out of the ship. The dexterous robotic arm opened the sampling cup for a while and then closed it to complete the entire sampling process. For the analysis of the composition of the sample gas, there is a dedicated intelligent analysis equipment , which is standard equipment on expedition ships.

The spaceship was always moving forward slowly, and the results of the analysis of those gas components came out. In the common mixed gas, the largest proportion is nitrogen, followed by sulfide gas, and oxygen is also present but the content is extremely low.This mixed gas is not processed, and humans cannot breathe it directly. The strange thing is that the gravity of this area is very small, which is not enough to prevent these gases from spreading into space, and the scanner cannot detect the boundary of this gas at all. To maintain this In a large area, there must be something in this meteorite group that is constantly producing this kind of gas.

Sun Xiang remembered that when talking with Bloom, he had never heard that there was gas in the meteorite group, and this special meteorite group probably appeared by accident.Sun Xiang was a scientific researcher when he was on Earth, and he was very curious about this strange natural phenomenon. Anyway, the spacecraft still needs to fly in this gas for a long time, so it doesn't seem to cause any danger to study it during this period of time.

Although this is a meteorite belt, the trajectory of the meteorites is very regular. It is not difficult for the spaceship to navigate here, so Sun Xiang asked Monman to take the captain's position temporarily.Monman learned to pilot a spaceship when he was a teenager. Although he was not very talented, he was more experienced than he was. He was able to fly a spaceship with ease in this peaceful meteorite area.Sharna replaced Monman's position to control the weapons and defenses of the spacecraft just in case. After Sun Xiang made arrangements, he took some equipment and began to observe the area shrouded in gas.

Sun Xiang conducted several tests first, and the results of the temperature detection made Sun Xiang even more curious.There are no stars near the gas-shrouded meteorite area. Generally, the temperature in this area is extremely low, but the detected temperature is about minus 50 degrees. No wonder these gases will not condense into solids.This is simply inconceivable in a region that does not receive the radiant heat of stars. Is there an invisible heat source nearby?
The densities of these gases are also different in different regions.But even in the densest regions, it's still very thin, more than a hundred times thinner than Earth's atmosphere.

This kind of gas is slightly yellowish, which has a certain impact on the detection of optical instruments, and the distance of optical detection is not as good as that of Sun Xiang's own source force.Many scanning devices in the gas-covered area were also disturbed, and the scanning distance was far less than normal.The range that Sun Xiang can detect in all directions is not wide, only a few kilometers.

Sun Xiang studied the characteristics of this gas again, and he found that this thing has a very slight corrosion effect on the hull of the ship.There is no need to worry about this level of corrosion. Based on the hull of this ship, it will take more than ten years to corrode it.

Sun Xiang is very curious about the reasons for these gases.He found that the concentration of gas near some meteorites was particularly high. He suspected that this type of meteorite was the cause of the gas, so he grabbed a few of these meteorites with the robot arm of the spacecraft and brought them into the studio for careful study.

It was a kind of stone embedded with dark yellow crystals. Sun Xiang put one of them into a vacuumized container, and after a short while, the gas appeared in the container.This proves that the gas was indeed released by such stones.

Although there are quite a few of these stones in the scanning area, it is impossible to fill up the nearby space according to the speed at which they generate gas, because the speed of these gases dissipating in space is much faster than the speed of generation.Sun Xiang judged that somewhere in this area, there must be a fairly dense concentration of these stones, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the generation of so much gas.
