He-El's eyes flashed with thoughts, and he slowly flew up, with the black cloak rippling behind him, and passed through half of the planet before arriving at a hole that led directly to the ground.
The hole is two kilometers in size. Looking down, it looks lifeless and as deep as an abyss. The walls of the hole are smooth, the surface is crystallized, and the magnetic field response is low.
He-El Standing on the edge of this sinkhole, looking up at the gray foggy brown sky, he has already guessed that a resource collection spacecraft has poked out from the gray foggy brown clouds and directly penetrated the mantle of the MT745 rogue planet. It is like a straw, sucking in the core of the star and sucking it up to the spacecraft.
Among them, the magnetic constraint and gravity technology are mature and of a very high level.
He-El's face was deep in thought, his gaze downward, and he scanned the smooth cave wall. Nanomachines had already collected the rock structure crystals on the smooth cave wall. He contacted Zero and began to use the geological age detected by previous isotopes to compare the geological age of the place that had been damaged by external forces, and find out the time when outsiders extracted the star core.
"About 10-20 years." Zero calculated the approximate time when the earth's core was extracted and reported.
He-El was shocked.
Is it so close in time?
He only appeared in this galaxy five years ago, which means that the spacecraft extracting the star core will most likely pass by him.
Passing by each other in the universe, even at a distance of five light years, is considered ridiculously close.
How far is five light years?
One light year is equal to 9460730472581 kilometers. 94 trillion kilometers.
In <The Three-Body Problem>, the Trisolarans spacecraft has a speed of one-tenth the speed of light. It takes 450 years to accelerate to and decelerate to the earth.
Without a jump, FTL Ship, and a curvature engine, a single-digit five light-year period could kill several generations of ordinary humans.
He-El's Star Explorer and the spacecraft of the unknown civilization both have jump engines. On the scale of the universe, within twenty light years, they can pass each other by each other; for those who have not collided with each other, just missing each other is a kind of slight luck for both parties.
A spaceship or civilization that does not know good and evil can easily extract the star core of a wandering planet. He-El does not even know whether the other party is a civilization or a single spaceship.
No matter what, it is much more powerful than my own small ship Star Explorer.
But at the same time, He-El is also powerful enough, and its physical body can penetrate the armor of any spacecraft.
The chain of suspicion in the universe started instantly.
He-El controlled the nanomachines of the suit, entering from the blood vessels of his face around his eyes, and working with Biological Magnetic Field, began to build Celestial Magnifying Glass.
Around He-El's eyes, obvious veins appeared due to the construction of Celestial Magnifying Glass.
He turned on his distance vision, microscopic vision, and clairvoyance, and raised his head to scan the stars. It was like interstellar travel, with lights flashing around him. He roughly scanned the surrounding area of ten light years, but did not find any spacecraft.
If you find the gravitational collapse traces left by the suspected transition, it is very likely that the other party will leave directly after collecting the resources.
Then, He-El carefully saw the meteorite flow within ten light years, and the holes on the meteorite were clearly visible, and then found three different meteorite flows.
Most meteorites are silicates, among which are meteorites rich in minerals such as iron and nickel. They are not rare in the universe. If you are lucky enough, you may even find some meteorites called planetary cores that evolved from planets.
Planetary core is a special type of celestial body, which refers to a celestial body with almost only a metallic core. The surface of a general celestial body is often covered with a mantle; while a planetary core has only a metallic core left due to impacts or other reasons.
As for the MT745 rogue planet, if there is no interference from external forces, its atmosphere and rock dust will fly away in the universe over a long period of time, collide with other meteorite streams, and evolve, leaving its own metal core, a planetary core meteorite, floating in space. This is its normal life.
Planetary core meteorites are rich in heavy metal elements such as iron, gold, platinum, silver, and copper, and are natural minerals in the universe.
"Most of the mineral resources of the meteorite flow are collected."
He-El used the nanomachines of the suit to build Celestial Magnifying Glass to enhance his vision. He could directly see the environment within ten light years and found several meteorite groups that should contain a lot of mineral resources. They were like traces of ant nests. They were obviously tunnels drilled by construction machinery to take away mineral resources.
The other party has a complete civilization structure, a spaceship that can move and jump in the universe, superb detection and mining technology, the ability to accurately find mineral resources in meteorite groups, heavy engineering magnetic constraints, and gravity technology to remove the core of the planet without causing the planet to disintegrate on site. This is by no means what a simple spacecraft can do.
At least Star Explorer cannot accurately search for the mineral resources of the meteorite group, nor can it use heavy engineering magnetic constraints and gravity technology to remove the core of the planet.
The other party is more lacking in mineral resources than we are.
He-El regained far vision, penetrating vision, and microscopic vision. Celestial Magnifying Glass formed by nanomachines disintegrated, and the veins in the eyes slowly calmed down, and the flow of nanomachines like running water flowed into the suit.
Probably guessing that the other party's technological civilization lacked mineral resources like his own, He-El felt a little heavy.
What could happen if two interstellar civilizations meet in the universe and both are short of mineral resources?
Perhaps it is different from other civilizations.
He-El One person is civilization.
The other party is still unknown.
"I hope I haven't met you."
He-El doesn't think he is invincible now.
Even Krypton in ancient times had many people who were stronger than him, but they still died and passed away in the universe. The universe has forgotten the honor of the Krypton era.
This shows that Kryptonian is not an invincible existence in the universe.
Now, it is not possible to dominate the universe.
He-El, who is still in the accumulation stage, does not want to run into cosmic civilization and start a war right away.
He-El turned around, his black cloak fluttering, leaving the hole drilled through the MT745 rogue planet, walking through the gray-brown mist above the planet, and returned to Star Explorer's position.
He began to make changes to Star Explorer. Within two months, he continued to use Heat Vision and nanomachines to form various detection auxiliary instruments. With the cooperation of Zero, he directly changed the Star Explorer, which was originally a scientific research detection ship and looked like a small spaceship, into a large bullet that could withstand several attacks.
All the seams were welded tightly, and all the remaining steel was mottled and welded onto the outer armor of Star Explorer, hoping that it could withstand a few hits during the attack and hold on until it could defeat the opponent on its own.
Star Explorer, which is designed for scientific research, is not very capable of facing the firepower of an interstellar war.
On this spacecraft, the only one capable of interstellar warfare is He-El.
He didn't know if there would be a war, but always being prepared and facing everything was the safest way.
Two months later.
"Master, Brain-in-a-Vat Learning System is completed."
"Ciri proposes a plan to use the remaining 20% Nutrient Solution to cultivate a new body."
Zero reported.
"Allow her to use the remaining Nutrient Solution."
He-El, who was absorbing radiation in space, heard the report from Zero on the surface of the planet, turned around and shuttled into the planet.
Nowadays, he no longer needs Nutrient Solution to maintain his life needs. It would be a waste to keep Nutrient Solution, which is just for Ciri to build her own body.
Cultivating a new body will not affect the jump. In addition, the spacecraft has been repaired and the energy conversion has been completed. With 38% of Crystal Core Engine energy, it can sustain at least two jumps.
He-El immediately flew into Star Explorer, adjusted the atmosphere inside the ship, maintained its peak power, and issued the order.
"Zero, start the transition."
"Target Krypton!"
