Chapter 45: Eternal Night
Jiang Yu did not hide his surprise: "What's going on?"
"Under the gravity of the three stars, the planet 'live down'." Yang Dong explained:
"I have to admit that this is a very strange phenomenon, but it is not without it. Uranus in the solar system is just lying down and revolving, looking like a 'lazy' person'.
“Uranus probably 'live down' when it met Jupiter a long time ago.
"And in this galaxy with three stars, this phenomenon is not difficult to understand.
"It should be that the three-body star was subjected to the gravity of the three stars from different directions, and by chance, they 'bent down' the Three-body star.
"Since then, the autobiography of the Three-Body Star has been as usual, but its 'butt' has been facing the sun, but its 'head' has not seen the sun for decades. It's like someone rolling on the ground."
Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "It's not because of the influence of the tidal force of the star?"
"No," Yang Dong said affirmatively: "If it were because of the tidal force that only one side of the planet faced the sun, there would be no such 'dawn belt'.
"As long as the tidal force affecting the planet's rotation is generated, it means that it is too close to the star. Then this will be a planet full of radiation and high temperatures, and there will be no life at all."
Jiang Yu looked at the "risen sun" in the horizon: "Although the sun only reveals a corner, it seems that it is relatively normal. The sun is bigger."
"It's true, otherwise there wouldn't be such a long time of epoch." Yang Dong explained again:
"It is precisely because the Three-Body Star is close enough to this sun that a stable development period has formed. This civilization is even more developed than the technology of the Later Han Dynasty we experienced before.
"The other two stars sometimes pull the three-body star away, but the three-body star has good luck and can gradually return to the sun every time."
Jiang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so amazing!"
Yang Dong said again: "I learned from their historical documents that in the distant past, the environment of this planet has undergone drastic changes.
"In that kind of global disaster, some people still insisted on recording the situation at that time."
As she spoke, she changed the flight direction of the aircraft: "I guess that it should be when the planet just started to lie down."
"Because the rotation axis has undergone a significant change, the magnetic field and force field of the entire planet have undergone significant changes, which has caused that disaster.
“If a disaster of that level occurred on Earth, I would guarantee that humanity would definitely become extinct.
"Compared with the creatures on this planet, we are like flowers in a greenhouse. As long as the earth changes drastically, we will definitely have to finish it.
"Migratory birds will die even worse, and their navigation will be out of control at the first time.
"Of course, the biggest disaster is that after the direction of the magnetic field changes, the atmosphere immediately changes significantly.
"Direct UV rays, changes in oxygen content, huge changes in climate, etc., I feel hopeless if I think about it."
Jiang Yu sighed in a long sigh: "But the Three-Body Civilization can still be continued."
"Yes," Yang Dong said: "What a great civilization."
Jiang Yu quickly reminded: "No matter how great it is, it is fake. Don't be too immersed in the show."
Yang Dong nodded: "I have a question."
Her tone was a little cheerful: "I'll take you on a one-day tour on the Three-Body Star."
While speaking, the plane had already entered the eternal night side. In a few minutes, the scene outside changed from early morning to dawn, and from dawn to early morning.
Seeing the green on the ground quickly decrease, and finally, under the searchlight of the plane, there was only the bare and cold surface left.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Fate is indeed too harsh on this planet and civilization.
Just as he thought of this, Jiang Yu saw that there seemed to be a small piece of light on the ground.
Yang Dong explained: "That was an archaeological team on Yongye. You didn't notice it before. The most active discipline and industry on the Three-Body Star is archaeology.
"Because receiving the legacy left by previous civilizations is often more cost-effective than developing technology by yourself.
"Of course, there is also a huge problem with this, that is, the technical route of going to civilization is not necessarily correct.
"In this civilization, I calmed down and read a lot of historical materials, and found that every civilization of the Three-Body Star would use a lot of energy to try my best to preserve its own history.
"It seems that on this planet that is in danger, you need to have a record of your civilization to prove that they have existed."
Jiang Yu was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Maybe this is the way to survive for the Three-Body Stars."
While he was talking, heavy snow suddenly drifted outside. Yang Dong looked at the white snow outside and said, "Yongye is very cold here and it is not suitable for people to live in.
"Yongzhou is very hot again, and it can reach the high temperature of Baidu.
"The planet's atmosphere brings heat from the air here, and at the same time, it also brings a lot of water vapor.
"On the Yongye side, the gaseous water condenses into snowflakes and then falls to the ground."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "So, will the water on the planet fall to Yongye?"
"That's right," Yang Dong smiled and said, "According to literature records, a few years after this Heng Era began, Yongzhou and the "Dawn Belt" once lost a lot of water due to the special environment.
"Once the 'snow-picking industry' surpassed the archaeology industry and became the pillar industry of the Three-Body Stars.
"But the snow they brought back from Yongye is enough for residents to drink water, and it will not have much effect on the climate.
“Until they made great progress in aerospace engineering, they began to carry water from space to the Trismos.
"It was only after the 'dawn belt' that gradually regained its vitality."
Everything that this wave of Three-Body Civilization encountered was completely beyond Jiang Yu's imagination: "Tree water from space?"
Yang Dong asked Jiang Yu: "Do you know how the water on Earth comes from?"
Jiang Yu recalled: "I remember seeing it in a magazine that it came from the universe at the beginning of the formation of the earth."
"Not exactly," said Yang Dong: "After our aerospace industry gradually developed, scholars in related fields discovered that a large part of the water on the earth is accumulated over time.
"Every day, a lot of ice with a diameter of several meters or even more than ten meters will enter the atmosphere and join the earth's water system.
"Because the ice is too small, it has never been discovered before."
Jiang Yu said "Oh": "There are many such ice cubes around the Three-Body Star?"
Yang Dong guessed: "It should be available in every galaxy, and even the most common ice cubes in the entire universe are small celestial bodies."
Then she said: "The situation of the three-body star is better than expected. Although there are three stars, it gives people a very hot feeling.
"But strangely, ice is much denser than the solar system, and there are also many large areas of ice asteroids around it."
Yang Dong said inexplicably: "Reasonably, such dense small celestial bodies are often around giant qi planets, such as Saturn's halo of 280,000 kilometers wide.
