The Wandering Planet

After Qiao Li took a short rest, the journey of the wandering earth in hyperspace is about to reach its end.

The new plane is coming, and the high-level leaders of the coalition government gathered in the earth cab early on to obtain first-hand news of the new plane.

Accompanied by a burst of blue light, the wandering earth finally rushed out of the hyperspace and came to this strange new world.

However, what is surprising is that this time the sky did not become brighter, and the surroundings were still in a chaotic darkness. Only the stars flickering in the distance can prove that this is not a void of hyperspace.

In other words, for the first time so far, no new stars have appeared directly around the wandering Earth.

What's going on? Where are we? Derek asked anxiously to his subordinates.

Li Yiyi hurriedly tapped the keyboard nervously and replied: Wait a minute, we are scanning.

There is no new sun in the sky to replace the gradually dimming plasma beam, which makes the inhabitants of the wandering earth feel a little uncomfortable for the first time.

Fortunately, the coalition government immediately issued a statement to keep everyone calm, and once again drew energy from the new moon to overload the planetary engine, so that the panic did not spread further.

In fact, in terms of probability, if the wandering earth always appears in a random position in the universe of the new plane, then it is normal that it does not appear directly in the planetary system.

After all, the distribution of galaxies in the universe is like small islands in the sea. A drop of water must have a high probability of falling into the sea, and it is a small probability event that it can land on an island.

But Qiao Lv felt that something was wrong no matter what, not only the inertial thinking that something abnormal must be caused by a demon, but also he knew that there was a system behind all this.

So far, the system has not allowed the Wandering Earth to be born in a place that is too far away from the mission target, otherwise it would take more than three months just to be on the road, and it would be even more impossible to complete the mission.

Then why didn't the wandering earth appear directly in a planetary system this time, but in a vast space?

This is definitely not without reason, but until now, the system has not sounded any prompts.

What the hell is going on?

While Qiao Li was still waiting for the system prompt, the coalition government had already completed the scan of the nearby star field first.

A huge holographic image suddenly flooded the entire earth cockpit, and countless galaxies appeared in front of everyone. It was like seeing the entire universe at this moment, and the wandering earth was as small as a speck of dust.

What Li Yiyi said next poured cold water on everyone, making them more aware of how vast the universe is.

According to inference, we are at the edge of the cantilever of the Milky Way, but this is the only information that can be inferred. We don't even know that there is such a place in the Milky Way.

Such a vast star map is only a drop in the ocean of the cantilever of the Milky Way, but it is enough to make people feel almost disoriented. In such a huge star field, where should the wandering earth go?

Just when Qiao Li was about to ask Li Yiyi about the situation,

Ding Yi, who was in charge of detecting the quantum state of the wandering earth, also suddenly discovered an abnormal situation.

Ding Yi shouted to everyone: Everyone, the readings of the quantum state are also unstable!

what happened?

The successive abnormal phenomena made Qiao Lv frowned, and an ominous premonition rushed into his heart.

Ding Yi quickly calculated the values ​​and said: Although the probability of quantum collapse to annihilation state is still further reduced to one-sixth, the collapse time has been greatly delayed. This time we will wait about six months before There's going to be the next quantum collapse, and I don't know if that's good news or bad news.

Six months?

The suddenly extended travel time limit eased Qiao Lv's frown a little bit. Although it was not without disadvantages, in the current situation where the situation has not been fully understood, the half-year stay can undoubtedly provide greater benefits. room to play.

But why did it turn into half a year? Is this plane special, or is this the case for all the planes you travel through next? If so, will the time limit be further extended in the future?

A lot of questions suddenly popped up in Qiao Lv's mind, causing him to sink into deep thought again with a sad face.

In any case, the situation this time was unprecedented. Qiao Lv just felt that he was a little more comfortable with the job of the navigator, but he didn't expect so many unexpected situations to occur again in a short time.

Now he is really not sure what will happen next, and the system prompt has not arrived yet.

Is it because the wandering earth has not reached the trigger point of the mission this time? So where will the key point of the mission be this time?

The past actions of the Wandering Earth were basically limited to the interior of a planetary system, and it was clear at a glance which planet to explore.

However, this time the wandering earth appeared directly outside the galaxy, which means that they have infinite directions to choose from, which naturally makes people feel confused.

While Qiao Lv was still thinking hard, Luo Feng at the side ordered decisively:

Anyway, let's go to the nearest galaxy first, and then we'll go into the orbit of the stars there. Now we're all overdrawing the bioenergy on the crescent, and it's not good for us to deplete these reserves.

Luo Feng's words awakened Qiao Lv. Indeed, the most urgent problem right now is to find a new star for the wandering earth. Since it didn't appear in the galaxy at the beginning, then going to the nearby galaxy immediately is the first step. matter.

This time the time limit is relatively generous, so the most important thing to do is to stabilize the Wandering Earth, and then slowly plan for the long term.

Sure enough, he was still a little flustered, Qiao Lv couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Indeed, just like the original purpose of the Wandering Earth Project, we first find a new home for the earth, and then consider the quantum crisis. Compared with the previous three months, this time we still have half a year, which is relatively abundant gone.

Of course, the premise of this abundance is that the mission target can be found as soon as possible, otherwise, in such a vast universe, searching for an energy source that can allow the wandering earth to travel to the next plane is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, half a year is not enough at all up.

Although there were many anomalies from the very beginning, at least the Wandering Earth found a way forward and took the first step in this vast universe.
