This way, during this interstellar voyage, Tom only needed to bring enough deuterium, without the need for so much food or the construction of massive planting bases.
Time still flowed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, over two hundred years had passed.
At this moment, Tom's distance from the Sun had already reached about nine light-years.
From this distance, the Sun showed no special characteristics. It had truly merged into the vast sea of stars, becoming an ordinary, slightly dim, and inconspicuous star.
Several more light-years of travel awaited Tom.
At this distance, Tom's fleet entered an interstellar dust cloud.
Such interstellar dust clouds are quite common in interstellar space, varying in size. They are simply invisible under normal circumstances.
The density of an interstellar dust cloud is higher than that of ordinary interstellar space, which also means a higher frequency of dust collision events.
