In the twelfth year of the Celestial Empire, in the autumn of 1832 AD, several news about the astronomical circles quickly spread throughout the upper European and American circles.

At first, astronomers discovered a new planet, which appeared between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus.

Although the location is strange, there are still many unknown things in the universe. Astronomers are preparing to announce the discovery of the eighth planet.

As a result, with more detailed observations and calculations, astronomers discovered that the planet's orbit was abnormal.

It is not a relatively round ellipse like other planets, but a very narrow and long form of approximately parabola.

It did not circulate between Uranus and Saturn at all, but moved quickly towards the interior of the solar system and soon arrived near the orbit of Saturn.

This trajectory shape is more suitable than a planet, but it is too big.

As a rocky planet, it is a circle larger than the earth, and it appears suddenly, as if it was flying in from outside the solar system.

It passes through the solar system longitudinally like a comet, and when it approaches the sun in the middle of the solar system, it may have a certain impact on all orbits close to the planet.

But the most terrifying guess is what if it comes to Earth's orbit and happens to meet Earth.

It was this terrifying guess that finally made this news come out of the circle and quickly entered the eyes of the upper class of non-astronomical people. Ordinary people still don’t know what happened.

Its popularity not only surpassed the news that the Eastern Empire changed its dynasty and then began to have conflicts with Rakshasa and Daying, but also covered all other major events in Europe.

If such a big thing really floats next to the earth, you don’t need to really encounter it. Just pass by it and let the earth destroy the world directly.

Fortunately, after three years of continuous observation and calculation, astronomers believe that this foreign wandering planet should not have direct contact with the earth.

It will likely pass through the region between Earth and Mars, and then slightly change Mars, Earth, and its own orbit, and then again away from the solar system.

But there is another possibility, that is, under the reaction of the solar system, Earth, and Mars, its orbits will change significantly, and then remain in the solar system.

If it is the latter, its early orbit will be narrower and longer, still similar to a comet, and then gradually shortened in subsequent cycles, which is still relatively dangerous.

The subsequent development was basically consistent with the astronomers' predictions, but there was a little accident.

It seems that it was because the reverse gravitational slingshot was received when passing through Jupiter's orbit, the speed of the wandering planet was significantly lowered and the orbit became more rounded.

As a result, when passing through the orbit of Mars, he passed by Mars directly at close range.

The most outrageous thing is that it captured Mars with its relatively powerful gravity, turning Mars into its satellite.

It originally had a big satellite, which was actually the planetary warship of the ship girl, and now it has two large satellites.

When capturing Mars, Mars also had a huge impact on it, which once again greatly changed its orbit.

It took Mars to continue running into the interior of the solar system for a while, and finally stabilized in the orbit of the solar astronomical unit.

The internal earth orbit has also been disturbed in recent years. The orbit of the operation has been slightly larger, and the orbit has gradually increased from day to 384 days.

This result has surprised all astronomers and humans who have some knowledge of this matter for a long time.

Astronomers began to face several problems. First, how to locate the planet that broke in from outside and how to name it in the future.

Then there is the existence of Mars. How should it be located in the future? It cannot be regarded as a planet in the future, right?

Just give the name of Mars to this planet? Mars becomes Phopous itself?

Finally, how did this planet come from? Orbiting the outside of the solar system, or simply wandering from the universe?

However, these problems are all problems of astronomers, and ordinary humans are finally basically relieved. It is enough to stabilize this thing, and it is enough not to continue to make trouble on the earth's orbit.

As for the longer the year, I have to change the calendar, so I can only passively accept it. Anyway, no one can restore it.

What’s more important is the things on Earth.

It was already twenty years since the empire, and the world situation has changed a lot compared to ten years ago.

The Celestial Empire completed initial industrialization, built the railway to the shore of Lake Baikal, crushed it with logistics and weapons, drove away the Russians here, and absorbed the Buryats.

Their steamships also began to run around the world, and the European colonial strongholds around the South China Sea were removed one by one by their fleet.

The original traditional indigenous countries in the South China Sea were restored, and the land seized by the colonists was returned. The Celestial Empire came back to make decisions for them.

But accordingly, the traditional vassal states of these Celestial Empires must once again join the familiar vassal system, and in the form of a more strict and clear vassal.

Japan, which was not originally a vassal state, was beaten up and changed its empire into a kingdom. After completing the reform of the Gongwu Combination, it officially joined the Celestial Vocational System of the Celestial Dynasty.

They are using more and more steam sailboats, and are increasingly cheap, transporting immigrants on a large scale to sparsely populated areas around the world.

Including Annan, Nanzhang, Siam, Johor, Boni, and Java, which have become vassal states.

It also includes Papua, the Southern Continent, New Zealand, Solomon, Fiji, and major islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Even more distant Hawaii, and even the West Coast of the New World, including the Bays near Seattle from later generations, and the California area in the south.

What made the Europeans most desperate was that the Celestial Empire was not only a ridiculously large population, but also twice as many as the entire Europe as a whole, but also seemed to have a higher level of key weapons than them.

The increasingly large steam sailboats transported more and more Oriental people, carrying early bolt-action rifles and revolver-firing pistols, and gradually occupied the European colonies.

If the colonial empire does not use regular troops, it will be impossible to curb these armed immigrants.

However, if arranging regular troops over, they will be held back by their numbers and weapons. Once the opponent's large number of regular troops arrive, their side will be quickly defeated.

Moreover, the image of the Celestial Empire is similar to that of most of the indigenous people in these areas, at least more similar to that of the white Europeans and indigenous people.

After they drove away a small number of white colonists, they took over the local situation very quickly.

Then while continuing to immigrate to the local area, the indigenous people were educated in Eastern ways, and finally absorbed these indigenous people into their system.

Although the Australian natives are black and have a large difference in their image from the Easterners, the number is too small.

By the fifteenth year of the empire, the number of immigrants to the Celestial Empire in Australia had reached three million, which was not a large number, but it was enough to form an absolute advantage in Australia.

There are only a hundred thousand white immigrants in Australia, and they are simply unable to change the situation. Only 200,000 natives were killed by white immigrants, and they were unable to compete with the immigrants of the Celestial Empire.
