The deep space was vast and boundless.
Seventeen minutes later, the spaceship, which was traveling at 5,000 times the speed of light, exited the superluminal state and stopped between the two huge spheres.
"We're here."
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu stood up and looked at the two dazzling stars in front of him. "Those are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B.
They are the two largest stars in the Alpha Centauri system. "
Raising his finger, Chen Yu increased the spacecraft's light filtering effect by a few notches. He then activated the gravitational detection technology and began searching for all planets within 5,000 astronomical units around him.
However, after searching for a while, Chen Yu was dumbfounded.
There was actually not a single planet within Alpha Centauri A and B's strong gravitational field...
Only an asteroid debris with a diameter of over 12 kilometers could be found 1.5 astronomical units away from Alpha Centauri B.
"D-Did you find aliens?" Jack Ma asked expectantly.
"... No."
Chen Yu rechecked the detection results in his mind and confirmed the accuracy of the data. He then shrugged helplessly and said, "Let alone aliens, there isn't even a place for them to stay.
This is a dead world. "
"It's too desolate …" The crossdresser leaned against the wall of the ship in a curvaceous position. Looking at the two glaring stars, he sighed in a rough voice. "It's not like a 'guest bowl' at all."
"... This is how a binary star system works. The huge and chaotic gravitational pull can prevent many rocks and dust from gathering to form a planet.
Even if a planet does form, it will be very easy for it to be thrown away due to the three-body problem.
It's already not easy for Alpha Centauri to retain a single planet. "
After saying so, Chen Yu controlled the spacecraft to change its angle and head toward the asteroid debris area.
In less than five minutes, the spacecraft arrived at its destination.
After putting on the glove, Chen Yu turned around and said to everyone, "I'll go down and take a look first. Those with spacesuits, don't come out to collect any samples. There are too many rocks floating outside. Your simple spacesuits won't be able to block them."
After saying so, Chen Yu opened a small opening on the spacecraft's wall and stepped out of it.
Whoosh!
The engine was turned on. Pushed by the deep blue plasma, he flew to the top of a rotating meteorite and knocked on the hard shell. "The scanning result shows that the metal content of this debris is not high. It is full of silicon and magnesium. It is unlikely to be the residue of a solid planet after an impact. It is more like the asteroid belt in our solar system."
"If there is only one star here and its gravity is stable, it might form a planet with a low mass after hundreds of millions of years.
But now it seems impossible. "
Opening the storage box on his back, Chen Yu poured out a portion of the rubble. He then chiseled out small meteorites and stored them inside the storage box.
A minute later, the storage box was filled again.
After a strict disinfection, they returned to the spaceship.
"Boom."
Setting down the heavy storage box, Chen Yu rubbed his slightly numb shoulders. He then faced the camera and said, "My initial assumptions were wrong. There are no alien civilizations here.
This meant that there was a high chance that the blue ball of light I encountered earlier came from outside the Alpha Centauri Galaxy.
To put it simply, this intergalactic trip was not as fruitful as he had imagined.
But you should understand. After all, this is the universe, empty and deathly silent. "
"Actually, if I wasn't limited by the time of the livestream, I would have gone to Tabby's Star, which is over a thousand light-years away.
Let's dig another pit. When there's a chance in the future, I'll bring guns and cannons and go there to play.
There are definitely aliens on Tabby Star. "
All of them were annihilated!
Feel the fear of being ruled by humans!
Control the alien scientists and give them a mouthful of food for every paper they write.
Lock up the alien authors as well. Feed them a mouthful of feces for every chapter they write.
…
[How many pits have you dug?]
[Why are they all so violent?]
[Isn't it better to capture them as slaves?]
[You should check if they taste good first. If they don't taste good, then consider other things.]
[Terrifying humans...]
[I wonder if they have reproductive isolation with aliens.]
[Big Bro's taste is fine.]
Removing his glove, Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It's 3: 21 PM. The livestream started at 9 PM, and it's been more than six hours since then. I've already finished reviewing the spacecraft's overall performance and actual experience. Let's get ready to return.
"During this six-hour long journey, we experienced superluminal speed, witnessed the reversal of time, experienced contact of the third kind, and harvested hundreds of kilograms of alien rock samples.
More importantly, we have broadened our horizons and finally taken that step out of the solar system's small well.
"Whether it is me or the world's humans, this is an unforgettable day.
It will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
"Tsiolkovsky once said that Earth is the cradle of humanity, but humans cannot live in the cradle forever."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu patted the transparent hull of the spacecraft and concluded, "Tsiolkovsky never imagined that in just a few short decades, humans, who are still in their infancy, would break out of the cradle and sit on tanks.
"In that case, today's review will come to an end here. First of all, I would like to thank the Wanderer for providing the Type-R Spacecraft for this livestream.
Secondly, I would like to thank the viewers in the livestream rooms for sticking by my side for six hours.
As everyone can see, after reaching C-level access, the product's technological content has clearly improved by several levels.
I believe the next livestream will be just as exciting.
Let us pursue the limits of human civilization together!
"All good things must come to an end in this world. As the return journey isn't very nutritious, I won't waste everyone's precious time.
We'll be there for the eleventh official livestream in a month! "
[Nani?]
[Why did the livestream suddenly end?!]
[I'm not satisfied yet...]
[Don't stop!]
[We can still watch it!]
[Hurry up and follow Transdimensional Review's forum!]
[I'm not blocking it anymore!]
[I want to watch it on the return journey as well! It's not like I'm wasting my phone's money. Can't I just keep watching it?]
[I've already finished recording the livestream.]
[I suddenly realize that the crossdresser really has a good temperament!]
[Coquettish and coquettish. Yet, he refuses to touch me.]
[That's a good way to use "him."]
[Just where did the female assistant go...?]
Along with the livestream rooms' official shutdown, the bullet comments also came to an abrupt halt.
"The review is over."
Lowering his wrist, Chen Yu turned to the interactive event participants and said, "We will begin the return journey now. We will maintain a speed of 5,000 times the speed of light.
To alleviate the discomfort caused by the distortion of light, everyone should lie down in your respective rooms.
Do you have any questions? "
At this time, the woman from the Red Coast Observatory suddenly asked, "UP, can I leave something behind on Alpha Centauri?"
"Here?"
"Yes, here."
"Leave what behind?"
"..." Gently pulling back her hair, the woman pulled out a small gray jar from her backpack and said, "My husband's ashes."
Everyone: "..."
…
Whoosh.
White powder scattered and scattered around the Type-R Spacecraft.
The Type-R Spacecraft carrying Earthlings slowly accelerated. After leaving the gravitational pull of the twin stars, it instantly disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
At the same time...
On the red planet in the red dwarf habitable zone...
The hilt of the sword Chen Yu had discarded suddenly shook slightly.
It shook off pieces of rubble...
