In the orbit of Rosene, in a small space laboratory about 50 meters long, some clones are carefully controlling some equipment in the gravity-free space. Some silica that had been highly purified on the surface of Roselle began to melt again here to undergo further purification. At the same time, some special additives, such as certain inorganic salts, alkaline oxides, etc., are also added into it. After completing all the processes, this large piece of glass begins to "grow" in the gravity-free space. Without the interference of gravity and in a highly vacuum state, they will be able to "grow" extremely flat and smooth, without any bends, and can grow very large. This means it will have higher optical performance. After completing the initial processing, the next step is more detailed further operations, such as polishing and coating. After more than ten days of hard work, Li Qingsong finally made the first main lens of the space telescope. Without wasting time, Li Qingsong immediately took it out and installed it together with some auxiliary lenses into the lens barrel that had been manufactured in advance. So a space telescope orbiting Rosea was built.
Ignoring the technological level of other components, judging from the quality of the lens alone, it has reached the highest level equivalent to the era of human world countries, roughly equivalent to the once famous James Webb Space Telescope. Of course, this does not mean that Li Qingsong’s technical level has reached that level at this moment. The reason for this is that it is extremely convenient to enter space from Luoshen. Here, Li Qingsong can manufacture lenses and complete the installation directly in space. Unlike on Earth, he has to manufacture them on the ground, and then because there is not enough space in the rocket, he has to cut the lenses and then assemble them in space, which is extremely troublesome. At this moment, the first space telescope owned by Li Qingsong pointed its lens towards the earth. The light from the earth will be collected by this huge lens with a diameter of six meters, allowing Li Qingsong to analyze data about the earth from it. After observing for a period of time, Li Qingsong saw these data. The performance of this telescope is indeed very powerful, and it has indeed collected a lot of information about the Earth. Even the composition of the Earth's atmosphere can be obtained with clear data from this observation. only…… It's still too rough. It still can't really see the earth clearly. There is no way. The earth is too far away from us, more than 15 billion kilometers away. If we want to obtain more detailed information about the Earth, or even figure out exactly what is happening on Earth, this is not possible with the current level of observation. "Let's wait until the technology is more advanced." In desperation, Li Qingsong had to temporarily give up observing the earth and turn his attention to another thing. Search the interstellar space around Luoshen Star and find the enemy hiding in the dark! So, under the control of the automatic program, the first telescope made by Li Qingsong began to scan the entire celestial sphere, collecting all information from the universe, trying to find any abnormalities in it. This is a very complex and huge task. It would probably take several years to complete with just this telescope.
But it doesn’t matter. After this first telescope, Li Qingsong quickly made more than a dozen telescopes of the same specifications, and placed them all in orbit around Luoshen according to a certain geometric structure. Each of them divided the sky into a region and scanned the celestial sphere at the same time. While waiting for the survey data, Li Qingsong did not neglect other aspects. In the space laboratory and the scientific research base on the surface of Rosene, a total of 300,000 scientific research clones are still researching new technologies non-stop and doing their best to improve their own technical level. Every base and every factory is still operating at full capacity. In addition to producing large quantities of war materials, they are also verifying the technology being used at the moment, providing a foundation for subsequent optimization and improvement. Time passes quietly. During this period, more than a dozen survey telescopes observed a large amount of data. Li Qingsong even saw a supernova explosion that was suspected to be outside the Milky Way, as well as numerous nebulae, galaxies, huge stars, and the like. There is no doubt that these data are very valuable. Although they cannot improve one's scientific and theoretical foundations in the short term, in the long run, they can extremely effectively broaden one's horizons and lay the foundation for further development of basic theories in the future. People on Earth will even launch many large telescopes and detectors specifically to observe these events. But now, Li Qingsong couldn't care less about these. He was still producing at full capacity while searching for traces of the enemy. Finally, an abnormal signal caught Li Qingsong's attention. During a routine sky survey, the space telescope No. 3 observed a dim light spot. Further observations showed that it was a dwarf planet similar to Roselle. Dwarf planet? Dwarf planets have low mass, small size and low luminosity. But since it was still observed by itself, it can only prove that it is not far away from itself. Otherwise, you won’t be able to see it at all. At this moment, five of the dozen or so space telescopes were drawn over and aimed at it at the same time. After careful measurement, Li Qingsong determined that the distance between him and it was only more than 40 million kilometers. "There's another dwarf planet 40 million kilometers away from Roselle? I didn't know that before." Not only did Li Qingsong not know, even the human civilization at that time did not know. Whether a dwarf planet can be discovered by humans is a matter of chance and luck, as they are too small and too dim. It is normal that this dwarf planet has not been discovered before. It is normal that there are a large number of dwarf planets at the edge of the solar system. It is predicted that there may be tens of thousands of dwarf planets outside the Kuiper Belt and within the Oort Cloud of the solar system, and the number of asteroids and comets is too numerous to estimate. But the only abnormal thing was that Li Qingsong actually discovered some gas around this dwarf planet. These gases cause some changes in the color and wavelength of sunlight, and it is these changes that indicate the existence of these gases. It’s just… How could there be gas around a dwarf planet? The gravity of the dwarf planet is too weak to hold these free gases, and they will be stripped away completely by interstellar radiation.
In this case, there is only one possibility left. There is a gas source on this dwarf planet that is constantly replenishing its lost gas. Three updates today, and one more to come!
