Galaxy Technology Empire

With the improvement of astronomical observation technology of the Human Innovation Alliance, the area within a radius of 100 light-years around the solar system has been re-observed.

In fact, the reason for doing this is mainly an order from the Alliance Council, mainly to monitor alien civilizations. If alien civilizations appear within 100 light-years of the solar system, the possibility of conflict between them and humans is very high.

If their situation can be confirmed in advance, humans can take precautions and avoid being raided by alien civilizations in the solar system. 61 Virgo, which is only 27.8 light-years away from the solar system, must be one of the key targets.

There are a total of 7 planets in 61 Virgo, arranged according to the distance from the star, namely 61b, 61c, 61d, 61e, 61f, 61g, and 61h.

Among them, three planets, 61b, 61c, and 61d, were discovered before; while four, 61e, 61f, 61g, and 61h, were discovered recently.

The lower mass limit of 61 Virgo b is 5.1 times its mass, so it is a typical super blue star. Its distance from its parent star is only 0.050201 astronomical units, and its orbital eccentricity is 0.12. 61 Virgo b was discovered on December 14, 2009 by the Keck Observatory and the Anglo-Australian Observatory using the radial velocity method.

As for Virgo 61c and d, they are gaseous planets (Jupiter-like planets). 61c has a mass about 19 times that of Blue Star and has no large natural satellites; 61d has a mass of about 25 times that of Blue Star and has 6 large natural satellites.

As for the four planets 61e, 61f, 61g, and 61h, according to the observation results of astronomical telescopes, 61e has a mass similar to that of a blue star, 61f has a mass about 0.7 times that of a blue star, and 61g and 61h are most likely to be dwarf planets.

Huang Mude, David and others discussed it and decided to launch the Gaoming Space Telescope to observe the Virgo 61c area again.

With the assistance of the space station's supercomputer, one of the four main mirrors of the Gaoming Space Telescope slowly opened its protective plate.

Zhang Xianyue entered 61 Virgo on the holographic computer, and the telescope automatically adjusted the angle and focus. Soon Virgo 61c entered the field of view of the telescope, and Zhang Xianyue continued to take photos.

David, Zheng Dongjiang, and Huang Mude carefully observed each photo.

"David, there really is a satellite appearing in the orbit of Virgo 61c." Huang Mude said while watching.

"But the appearance of this satellite is too weird? It actually appeared in the orbit of the satellite 61 Virgo without any warning. Its size is about 0.2 to 0.3 times that of the moon. How did such a large celestial body suddenly appear?" Zheng Dongjiang said in confusion.

David was also confused. They had observed many situations in Virgo 61 before, and there was no way such a big mistake could have happened.

"If it is a satellite captured by Virgo 61c itself, this is also possible. After all, there are many wandering celestial bodies in interstellar space." Huang Mude explained.

"This is indeed possible." David nodded.

"No, look at this photo, it's too strange." Zheng Dongjiang suddenly pointed at one of the photos and exclaimed.

David and Huang Mude hurriedly leaned over. When David looked at the photo, he couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe them. After putting them on again, the photo was still the same.

"How is it possible? How can it be in this shape?"

"A triangle composed of three spheres is not like a natural celestial body. If it is an ellipse, a long strip, or even an irregular shape, it is possible, but such a regular three-sphere triangle..." David was a little confused. Take measures.

"Crescent Moon, continue to observe." Huang Mude ordered.

"Okay." Zhang Xianyue replied quickly, obviously she already felt that she had discovered something remarkable.

In the next three days, the astronomical observation team gathered everyone and activated the four main telescopes to observe the entire situation of 61 Virgo.

"The possibility of it being an artificial satellite or spacecraft is very high." Zheng Dongjiang said as he put down an observation report.

"We re-observed the entire 61 Virgo and found that 61d in the orbit of the third planet and 61e in the orbit of the third and fourth planets have such triangular satellites. If it is just a triangular satellite, it can be explained by coincidence, then It’s no coincidence that there are three.” David said solemnly.

"We must report this news. An alien civilization that can build such a huge satellite or spaceship cannot be underestimated." Huang Mude said decisively.

"I agree."

"I agree."

The others also nodded solemnly.

…

Shanghai - the temporary headquarters building of the Alliance for Human Innovation.

Following a burst of hurried footsteps, Fang Dongliang's office door was hurriedly pushed open by a figure.

"Chairman, Director Wang Tu of the Department of Space and Space has sent you a request to step up communications."

"Take it over." Fang Dongliang said quickly.

"yes."

drop! Wang Tu's holographic projection appeared opposite Fang Dongliang, and the assistant quickly exited the office.

"What's urgent, Minister Wang?"

"I'll make a long story short. It's about alien civilization. I need the chairman to convene a council meeting immediately." Wang Tu said seriously.

Fang Dongliang suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After he finished speaking, he immediately opened the drawer. Inside was a red holographic computer. He quickly entered the password and inserted his special ID card.

Suddenly his office changed, and a holographic conference room was formed in an instant. Inside the conference room was a round table with 13 seats surrounding the round table.

Fang Dongliang himself was on one of the seats, and directors from other seats were also online. Ten minutes later, except for the distinctive throne, the other 12 seats were already occupied.

Wang Tu's figure stood in the middle of the round table, and he said solemnly:

"Our sophisticated space telescope at the New Manila Space Station discovered unknown objects suspected to be satellites or spacecrafts on planets c, d, and e in 61 Virgo three days ago. This is a detailed report."

A holographic document appeared in the hands of all 12 directors. Fang Dongliang did not look through the document, but directly asked: "What is the possibility of an alien civilization?"

"More than 90% may be alien civilization." Wang Tu replied.

"Is it the Anluo star we discovered before?" asked one of the people in Yamauchi, putting down the document.

"It is unlikely that they are from the Anluo planet. Judging from some of the information deciphered so far, the Anluo star's spaceship style is different from the alien civilization that was just discovered." Wang Tu explained.

"How big a threat are they to Blue Star?" Pushkin asked a key question.

"This depends on the speed of the spacecraft of the Triangular Civilization. If it reaches near-light speed or super-light speed, they will pose a huge threat to us. If it does not exceed 10% of the speed of light, we still have time." After speaking, Wang Tu opened the star map near the solar system. .

"The distance of Virgo 61 from the solar system is 27.8 light years, which means that the information we observed is information from 27.8 years ago. Due to our backward observation technology, now we cannot determine whether the Triangular Civilization is the native civilization of Virgo 61 or an alien civilization. .”

"Is there a difference between the two?" Kazakh Cardinal asked.

"The difference is very big. If it is the native civilization of Virgo 61, their spacecraft may not be too fast; if it is an alien civilization, their spacecraft may be very fast, maybe even close to the speed of light or faster than the speed of light."

"Why?" Fang Dongliang asked.

Wang Tu explained: "Because of the distance, the closest galaxy to 61 Virgo is Gliese 581, with a distance of 11.5 light years; the second closest is Gliese 371, with a distance of 15.8 light years, and the third closest is Centauri A is 25.7 light-years away from both sides. Without ultra-fast spacecraft, it would be very difficult to cross more than 10 light-years."

"Is the triangular civilization an alien civilization?" Fang Dongliang continued to ask.

"The possibility of alien civilization is relatively small, and the possibility of native civilization is relatively high. We also hope that they are not alien civilization." Wang Tu knew that if they were alien civilizations, their danger would skyrocket.

"The news is temporarily blocked. You are closely observing the trends of the Triangular Civilization. What suggestions do other directors have?" Fang Dongliang looked around and asked.
