Chapter 316

On this day, Zhang Yuan stood in a small room in Kunlun Mountain, quietly overlooking this vast, desolate, but vibrant planet. This will be their forever base camp.

"Well, Captain Kunlun Mountain, it's time to go on TV. Dress up a little handsome. Don't frown all day. Right, right, relax, relax." With a smile on her face, Lin Xuanxuan buttoned up the buttons on his clothes one by one and gently flattened the folds on his clothes.

After all this, she changed herself into a beautiful dress, and the two people walked out of the door one after another.

Yes, today, after 105 years of human development, we can finally start again!

Both excited and a little lost.

All the material resources had been transported to the spacecraft a few months ago. The staff counted them in the warehouse many times without any error.

Now all that remains is the mutual farewell between people.

Yes, goodbye

Farewell

The central control room was full of people, and there were some TV reporters. The voice of discussion was particularly intense.

"Unexpectedly, I can still live to see the scene of our departure..." Zhao Qingfeng stood aside and sighed gently. "It's good. Every departure is like the newborn sun, always full of vigor and vitality."

"I just like to see this scene."

Zhang Yuan also smiled. He was thinking about the next development direction of mankind.

Externally, of course, it is to explore the outside world along the cosmic string. I don't know what will happen in the future or what kind of story will happen

For all this, mankind has equipped Kunlun mountain with quite strong military strength.

23 petrel class frigates and 3 Falcon class destroyers have basically reached the maintenance limit of 8 million people. No matter how many spaceships, if there is not enough population and economy to maintain, it is useless.

As for the internal development direction, it is more important to hibernate in the interstellar journey, the planning of the virtual world, and the plan of the extraordinary... There are too many things to worry about.

The eight million people who implement the wandering plan are actually more radical in thought. This radicalism may gain greater benefits, or it may directly lead to capsizing and disappearing into the universe without even turning out a wave.

Therefore, while maintaining strong fighting spirit, we should be more cautious and steady.

He couldn't help sighing at the thought of the heavy task on his shoulder.

The universe is so cruel that from the experience of Gliese civilization, it only shows the tip of the iceberg. But even the tip of the iceberg is frightening enough.

Many people have such questions in their hearts. Why not continue to develop on this planet?

At least it means safety and... Stability.

What if the development of science and technology is slower? This is actually the usual development idea.

It's not that the population of the new civilization has become lazy. In the past 100 years, the spiritual outlook of the whole civilization has never been so good. A declining Gliese civilization has been put aside as a lesson, reminding and whipping yourself all the time. It's difficult to work hard!

According to the data collected by the big data system, in recent years, almost everyone has worked diligently, there are very few people who cheat and cheat, and the crime rate is also very low.

We are also quite satisfied with the entire economic distribution system, which is a golden age that has lasted for a hundred years.

The real inertia comes from another level

Ease.

Before completely modifying the gene, it is impossible for human beings to get rid of the comfortable thinking from the root.

If you can be comfortable, why take risks? If you can develop here, why go to deep space? This is the human subconscious.

But in fact, the development goal of the new civilization school is not to make civilization last forever. If you want to do this, you can simply find a remote planet and squat.

But... Move forward forever!

Now is the time of the most rapid development and the strongest self-confidence in civilization. Eight million people are willing to leave. However, Zhang Yuan understands that the basic scientific and technological dividends have been almost eaten. If we continue to develop in this way, we will only study some minor things, and there will be no qualitative change.

What about a hundred years later? Maybe only four million people are willing to leave.

Two hundred years later? Maybe there's only two million.

So now is the best time.

On the other hand, hiding on this planet is not an absolutely safe behavior. On the contrary, there are a series of other risks

Two civilizations have visited this star, which is not accidental, but inevitable! There happens to be a linear cosmic string, about 3.3 astronomical units, or 448.8 million kilometers, from the current location of Kunlun mountain.

Humans can find the way to use cosmic strings, and other alien civilizations can also find it in theory.

"In other words, these two interstellar civilizations may have sailed along the cosmic string. This is equivalent to a supply point for resources! "

"Cosmic string is a natural highway in the galaxy. The probability of encountering alien civilization nearby will increase a lot... Fortunately, the civilization using cosmic string for interstellar navigation can not be unimaginable in theory. Our fleet can be regarded as a relatively powerful Starfleet. We don't need to be afraid of some interstellar civilizations. As long as we can deter each other and maintain equal communication. "

"Civilizations of level 4 and above can sail directly with the curvature of superluminal speed. Where is it necessary to advance along the cosmic string?"

Not every star has such a linear cosmic string near it. On the contrary, there are only a few stars in this unique geographical location.

For example, there are no such cosmic strings around the solar system, so the poor earth people can't use this way of navigation.

The spacecraft of earth civilization can only be pushed slowly by nuclear fusion or light sail. Unless it takes thousands of years to navigate a distance of several light years and find a cosmic string, it can advance rapidly along the cosmic string.

This is a good thing, which means a great degree of security. It is unlikely that interstellar civilization below level 4 will run to the earth.

It is also a bad thing, which means... The earth has become an isolated island, with no communication and no commercial trade.

Of course, because the whole galaxy is also rotating along the central black hole, the stars near the cosmic string will also change to some extent. Every hundreds of thousands of years, all geographical locations will change dramatically. Maybe the solar system moved near a cosmic string.

So, how fast can it be pushed by the gravity of cosmic strings?

The answer is... Close to the speed of light!

Gravitational acceleration is a special acceleration mode, which can be used to propel a spacecraft, a planet, or even a star. Black holes are no longer needed!

The energy contained in the cosmic string is too great. It promoted the formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters after the groundbreaking big bang! Compared with the energy of a galaxy, it is only small dust.

Even though most strings have declined, their energy still far exceeds the order of magnitude that human beings can achieve at present.

But then again, limited to spacecraft material technology, communication technology and long-range escort capability, mankind can only accelerate the Kunlun Mountain fleet to about 10% of the speed of light. No matter how high it is, we have to draw some safety problems.

10% of the speed of light, ah, will already produce slight relativistic benefits. This speed is completely dreamy in the eyes of scientists.

Combined with hibernation, a closer star can be completed in 50 or 60 years, which is completely enough for interstellar travel.
