Environmental Overview
"Commander Yue, now that we know it's their plan, should we still go to the designated anchorage as they require?" After seeing the location marked on the star map, an advisor looked at Yue Yuan with a reminder tone.
"Go, why not?" Yue Yuan spread his hands and laughed. "As the saying goes, you can't catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den. Besides, this is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Our fuel is not so scarce that we can't even fight a war. Of course, before that, we still need to be prepared to deal with conflicts at any time."
Without further ado, Yue Yuan pointed to the large screen with his fingers together, and the content on the screen immediately changed.
Yue Yuan doesn't have superpowers. He's just issuing commands from his Brain Chip while performing actions, manipulating the display system through invisible Electromagnetic Wave.
The projection screen still displays a star map, but the star map that was originally sent from the Interstellar Transaction Market has been replaced by a star map explored by Human Civilization itself, based on data detected by Human Civilization's own probes.
Humanity's First Fleet has now arrived at the outer edge of the Star System where the Interstellar Transaction Market is located. Through the fleet's probes, it is easy to observe the specific situation of this star system.
Of course, it only includes the number and types of planets, as well as some optical parameters of Main Sequence Star. Although the data is less, it is still much more than the star charts sent from the Interstellar Transaction Market.
Such a star map is obviously insufficient for warfare, but since the First Fleet has just arrived, we can only use it like this for now. Once the fleet reaches its designated position, we can send out some probes to conduct various surveys of the space environment, and that should be sufficient.
This is also one of the reasons why Yue Yuan insisted on sending the First Fleet to the designated location in the Interstellar Transaction Market.
To build an advantage, one must start from the smallest things, and environmental factors are one of them. As Xunzi once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," which illustrates this point.
At this moment, everyone on the Lyra can look up at the projection screen and see such a Star System.
The star in the middle that constantly emits a yellow light is undoubtedly the Main Sequence Star of this Star System. Human scientists, through observation data from detectors, compared it with the basic parameters of the Yellow Dwarf Star, and combined it with the theory of stellar evolution, calculated that its mass is 1.2 times that of the Sun and its age is only about four billion years.
Yellow Dwarf Star has a spectrum similar to the Sun's. Stars with this spectrum are numerous in the universe, and the Sun is not particularly special. Therefore, if Superman were placed in this star system, according to the established lore, he would gain superpowers. From this perspective, the best place to imprison Superman would be to hang him on a Red Dwarf Star.
Oh, let's get back to the overview of this Star System.
Similar to other Star System in the universe, besides the Main Sequence Star Yellow Dwarf Star, there are planets orbiting it. With its Main Sequence Star as the frame of reference, it is a flat orbiting system. Now that the velocity vector of the human fleet is synchronized with this Star System, the star map also displays this flat, standardized state.
If we change the frame of reference, such as the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, then this Star System or any other Star System instantly becomes a speeding Stellar Belt its spiraling planetary companions, orbiting in the endless Void.
This shift in the star map also reminded some people present of things from Earth Era. In particular, some older people from Earth Era remembered videos that often appeared online with titles like "This is the truth about the movement of the Solar System," which showed the movement of Star System with the Galactic Center as a relatively stationary frame of reference.
The only difference is the frame of reference. If you use Earth as a stationary frame of reference, you can actually observe the legendary 'Venus retrograde motion' phenomenon in the night sky. This is an astronomical phenomenon that was precisely calculated in ancient China, with Earth as the center of the calculation.
As everyone observed, most of the planets in this Yellow Dwarf Star system were located near the ecliptic plane of the Main Sequence Star's rotation. The first planet was a solid planet, with an average distance of 0.6 Astronomical Unit from the Main Sequence Star. If this distance were compared to that of our Solar System, it would be between Mercury and Venus.
The second and Third Planet planets are both Gaseous Planet, specifically Jovian-like planets. After reaching the outer reaches of this Star System, humans began observing its internal planets. Although the distance was too great to directly observe the moons of these two Gaseous Planet through optical telescopes, Gravity perturbation data suggests that both planets likely have many moons.
Because there are two giant Gaseous Planet in the second and third orbits of this Star System, human military experts speculate that the Great Fleet of this Interstellar Transaction Market should be hidden there.
If drawing such a conclusion from the overview of Star System is a guess, then judging from the star map provided by the Interstellar Transaction Market, which marks the designated locations of each trading zone, this guess should be pretty close to the truth.
Because neither the Tier 1 Civilization Trading Zone, Level 2 Civilization Trading Zone, nor Level 3 Civilization Trading Zone marked on the Interstellar Transaction Market included these two Gaseous Planet. If that's not enough, there's another difference from when the Dog-Headed People Fleet arrived: the star map provided to humanity by the Interstellar Transaction Market didn't show any information about Level 4 Civilization creations, didn't indicate trading locations, and didn't specify that the trading market contained Level 4 Civilization creations.
This differential treatment made humanity realize that the civilization using the Interstellar Transaction Market had been hiding its true strengths for some reason.
Such behavior made the human leadership realize that this Interstellar Transaction Market might indeed have ulterior motives.
As everyone was trying to connect the dots, Yue Yuan pointed to a certain area on the star map and said, "We'll go to the designated location as they asked, and then collect environmental data there. If the situation worsens, we'll strike first. At that time, my First Fleet will launch a surprise attack on this planet from this area."
Following Yue Yuan's gaze, everyone saw that the outermost planet on the large screen was marked with a bright cursor. Everyone present recognized this planet; it was the one where the Dog-Headed People Fleet had docked at the Interstellar Transaction Market, and it was also the planet with the most comprehensive data in the Human Database.
Since the Dog-Headed People had already explored and mined some minerals on this planet, once the planet was occupied, the human First Fleet could quickly mine various mineral resources and resupply the fleet. Of course, if necessary, Space Dock could also be set up here, and warships could be built and deployed in the battle while fighting.
