"Hi, Jack, I have a picture here, would you like to see it?"

"Please, Tom, don't waste my time!" Jack said without looking up.

"I think you'd better come and have a look." Tom insisted.

Jack raised his head suspiciously: "What did you find? A new exoplanet?"

"No, this is a photo of the edge of the solar system. There's a fuzzy little spot here." Tom said, pointing to the photo on the computer screen.

The photo is just a black background and a lot of small light spots with no rules. Except for professional astronomers, anyone who sees this photo can't connect it with the starry sky.

Jack carefully identified it, and then determined that it was not Tom's misjudgment: "What do you think it is? The tenth largest planet in the solar system?"

When Pluto was first discovered, it was just an inconspicuous pixel in a photo.

Tom shrugged: "I don't know, its position is in the ecliptic plane, but its speed is unbelievable!" Then he put on another photo, the blurred point has moved half a centimeter away.

Jack was shocked: "Tom, have you confirmed the shooting interval of the two photos?"

"It's been confirmed, seven days apart, in the same direction."

"It's impossible!" Jack stood up abruptly, "If it flew so fast, it would have already surpassed the third universe, how could it keep revolving?"

"I'm surprised too." Tom nodded in agreement, "Jack, should we follow it for a while? At least determine what it is."

"Keep an eye on it, don't let it escape your sight!" Jack said solemnly, "Also, don't let the SETI people know about it for now."

Tom laughed: "Come on Jack, are you going to find aliens before SETI?"

Jack said angrily, "Shut your mouth, Tom."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Tom raised his hand in surrender.

From this day on, the two began to secretly monitor this shadow with an extremely abnormal speed, but there was still no sufficient evidence to prove its identity. Two months later, the shadow was blocked by Jupiter and never appeared again.

half year later.

"Just give up?" Tom was extremely unwilling, feeling that he had just missed the Nobel Prize, "Jack, can't you think of a way?"

Jack took a deep breath: "Voyager 1 and 2 are in other directions... Keep monitoring, maybe it will come out by itself tomorrow."

But this wait is twenty years.

Twenty years later, China.

On a summer night, the stars are shining brightly.

Ye Fengchen said mysteriously, "Son, today is your birthday. Dad gave you a gift."

The child jumped up and down with joy, and acted like a spoiled child around his father: "Dad, Daddy, where is my gift? Where is it? Where is it?" The child regarded his father as a big tree and tried his best to climb up.

Ye Fengchen laughed loudly, struggling to pick up the half-height child, holding it high above his head, the laughter of the father and son spread far and wide.

Ye's wife showed a knowing smile: "Old Ye, how can you still look like a child when you are so old?"

"Didn't the child like it!" Ye Fengchen smiled and put down the child.

The child who fell to the ground was reluctant to forgive: "Dad, Daddy, where is my gift?"

"It's here!" Ye Fengchen led the child to the balcony and pulled off the fleece covering the shelf.

The child screamed in surprise: "Telescope? Thank you, Dad!"

The child was ecstatically fiddling with the brand-new astronomical telescope, but still couldn't get the point, so he had to ask for help pitifully: "Dad, teach me!"

The father who had been prepared for a long time laughed confidently: "Look at Dad!"

The young mother smiled and gave her husband a blank look: "Virtue!"

Ye Fengchen took a moment to adjust the focal length, and quickly showed his eyepiece: "Look, this is Jupiter!"

The child rushed over and immediately saw a red planet full of stripes, surrounded by several inconspicuous satellites, and a faint halo around his waist.

The child suddenly shouted in panic, "Dad, why did Jupiter go?"

Ye Fengchen fondly patted the child's head: "Didn't Dad tell you, the planets revolve around the sun, and Jupiter keeps moving. After a while, it will run out of your camera."

"Oh!" The child suddenly realized. His eyes moved closer to the lens again, and his curious eyes searched around Jupiter, and he found a few very conspicuous large satellites.

Suddenly, another large moon appeared behind Jupiter, and the child's eyes lit up: "Dad, I have found the moons, five!"

"What?" Ye Fengchen was shocked, "Impossible, let me see!"

He leaned into the eyepiece and counted, one, two, three, four, five, no less than five, and one of them only showed a small edge, but basically it could be judged that it was indeed a large satellite.

Ye Fengchen was stunned: "This, how is this possible?" The gift bought for the child is just an entry-level small astronomical telescope with limited magnification. It is the limit to see four Galileo satellites clearly. It is impossible to see other satellites of Jupiter. , not to mention the extra fifth satellite, which is no smaller than the other satellites.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" the child asked curiously.

Ye Fengchen hurriedly covered up: "No, it's nothing, wait for me, son!" After that, he ran into the house, took out his mobile phone as fast as he could, pointed the camera at the eyepiece on the telescope, and took a few pictures.

However, the phase effect of his mobile phone is extremely poor, and the effect is even worse at night when the light is insufficient. The photos taken cannot even see Jupiter, let alone the moons of Jupiter that are dimmer than Jupiter.

Ye Fengchen leaned over to the eyepiece to take a closer look again, but found that the extra satellite was gone again.

His spirit was in a trance for a while, and he couldn't help asking himself silently: Am I wrong?

But what about the child, did the child see it too?

Ye Fengchen couldn't help falling into deep confusion.

Forty-seven minutes ago (Note: 1), Jupiter.

Behind the huge red planet, a celestial body covered with ice and snow slowly cut into Jupiter's orbit, and the celestial body gradually approached Jupiter, just close to Jupiter 49.

Io 49, which is equivalent to the size of an aircraft carrier, has no resistance. It was caught by the gravitational force of this celestial body and fell directly to the surface of the mysterious celestial body. It is still more than 100 kilometers away from the surface. Become a group of violently burning meteors.

A dim light suddenly appeared on the surface of the celestial body. The light hit the meteor without error, and the meteor immediately burst into dozens of pieces of different sizes.

Moments later, the fragment hit the ground, causing a series of violent explosions that shot into the sky and illuminated Jupiter's back.

In the depths of the mysterious celestial body, two upright creatures with a height of more than three meters stood side by side, staring at the violent explosion on the surface of the celestial body until the light dissipated.

One of them made a sound like wood chips rubbing: "Your Majesty, the starship has arrived at the predetermined position." (Note 2)

"Very good." said the upright creature called His Majesty, "Has the research come to a conclusion? My prime minister."

"There is a result." The prime minister replied, "According to the observations, our armed forces are not sure of defeating the Blue Star Lord."

"Isn't the space technology of the Blue Stars very primitive? Are we so weak that even a civilization that has not yet entered the space age can't defeat it?"

"Blue Star people's spaceflight capabilities are not strong, but their weapons are very advanced. Our observations have found that they have mastered the laws of stars and can use the power of stars to a limited extent. This is our biological civilization forever. Unattainable heights, given enough time, the Blue Stars may become one of the most terrifying races in the universe."

"Then what should we do? The starship has been unable to fly into interstellar space again. If we can't occupy the Blue Star, our race will be destroyed."

"Your Majesty, we have deciphered the living matter obtained from the edge of the galaxy. Those living matter are of the same origin as the Blue Star people, and this will become the key to occupying the Blue Star."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Biotechnology is our disadvantage, but it is also our advantage. Although we can't get samples of Bluestar creatures, we can deduce the life forms of Bluestar creatures with the help of those living substances, and develop products that are only effective for Bluestar creatures. Gene virus, destroying the most powerful ruling population of Blue Star with a virus."

"Let go and do it." His Majesty said.

A few days later, the International Astronomical Union announced that Jupiter captured a stray dwarf planet with a diameter of more than 5,400 kilometers and a mass equivalent to 86 percent of Earth's. This star pushed Ganymede off the altar in one fell swoop, becoming the largest satellite of Jupiter, and also the largest satellite in the solar system, no one!

A few months later, a group of inconspicuous asteroids escaped Jupiter's gravitational pull and slowly flew towards Earth.

Nine years later, a massive meteor shower descended on Earth.
