This is the human branch represented by Kaptan, the third planet, the golden sun.

The climate on the planet's surface is always cold and harsh. Under the temperature of - 180 degrees, water vapor and carbon dioxide freeze into a white solid. In the north and south poles of the planet, lakes composed of organic matter such as methane and ethane can even be found. These simple organic minerals are undoubtedly quite beneficial to human development.

There are 30 million human colonists living in the underground cities one kilometer below the planet.

The firelight of nuclear fusion brings endless energy, which is also the greatest courage of human interstellar colonization.

Xu Peng, the old captain, squinted across a thick layer of glass and looked at the starry sky in the distance. Because the planet is too cold, the atmosphere is frozen into a solid, so the air is thin, and the stars in the distance are very clear.

Xu Peng is distinguishing which is the sun and which is glitzer 581.

The sun at this distance can barely be seen with the naked eye, but glitzer 581 It's so dark that you have to use an astronomical telescope to see a fuzzy shadow.

Xu Peng, the old captain, retired to the second line ten years ago because of his declining energy.

However, the old man is always busy. He has become a volunteer at the observatory. It's also good to take children to see the stars in their spare time, teach them how to use telescopes, and educate the next generation.

However, no children came to the observatory today. Maybe the final exam is coming and the students are very nervous about reviewing The education of the whole civilization is still very strict. Everyone must study hard.

Drop!

It's five o'clock sharp. It's off work.

Anyway, it's boring to be idle. Xu Peng puts on his power armor and walks into the vacuum chamber not far away.

Hiss!

The air pump slowly draws the air out of the vacuum chamber. Then he opened the door of the air brake and made a heavy "click". Fortunately, the air in the room had been almost pumped out, and there was not much air leaking out.

Safety gate in the electronic prompt sound up, "a authority personnel, General Xu Peng, hello."

"Please be careful when you go out and pay attention to outdoor safety. The current outdoor temperature is - 182 degrees Celsius. "

Xu Peng walked along the glass tunnel to an observation station.

From this position, you can look up and see the space elevator tens of thousands of kilometers high. If you use the telescope function of powerA, you can clearly see that the rotating centrifugal wheel on it is rotating, all kinds of transport spacecraft come and go, and a

Huge Mothership!

Yes, for the interstellar expedition, there must be a super mothership to accommodate more people.

And more people means more productivity and maintenance capacity. Especially the latter - maintenance capability. In the starry sky, without maintenance, a warship composed of troops can't span several light years.

"If only human beings could live longer That way, there will be no need for long-term hibernation, fewer people will be needed, and the spaceship can be built smaller. "

For this interstellar voyage, the related interstellar astronaut training work is also ongoing, which has lasted for more than 20 years.

"In three or five years, the whole Starfleet will be finished We're ready to go. "

Thinking of this, Xu Peng couldn't help but feel proud of it.

Although this is the story of the young people, but the old man is full of ambition. It's good to play a little heat here.

This time, the target is a nearby star, jm7812317, about 4.7 light-years away, near the cosmic string.

Eleven years ago, through the largest astronomical telescope, human beings actually observed the flash of the nuclear bomb on the next planet!

Of course, the flash of these nuclear bombs is very weak. According to the rational judgment after the event, it should be a war within the planet, not a large-scale interstellar war.

In other words, this unknown civilization has actually had an internal nuclear war!

Therefore, after some discussion, the high level of civilization decided that there was no good goal for the first stop of interstellar navigation anyway, so they simply went to this planet for scientific investigation first.

It's good to collect history and perfect the historiography of new civilization.

"However, the military aspect still needs to be strengthened Since the internal nuclear war broke out in this civilization, it is a belligerent type in theory. It is unlikely that it will rise again within a few decades, or even self destruct. However, we should always guard against it. "

A voice suddenly rang out in my ear. It was my good friend Lu Zhongping. Two old men often look at the space above here.

Xu Peng nodded: "there must be risks in Star Trek, but the benefits will be greater It's too slow for us to explore technology here alone. It's not a good thing to go on like this. "

"Even if this civilization is not as developed as we are, there must be something different...""Ah, if you come into contact with a more powerful civilization, you will undoubtedly get more But our common sense about the civilization of the universe is too lacking. It's better to get in touch with a weaker civilization. "

"If we get good results, can we send a copy to the other two civilizations I just don't know if the earth age exists, or we're just doing useless work. "

The wrinkles on Lu Zhongping's face are like deep gullies. When he gambled with those young people, he still remembers that some people said 100 years, others said 200 years, and others said 300 years.

Almost sixty years have passed like this

Time is like a fleeting moment, and the world is like a white cloud. I really hope I can wait for the news in my lifetime

"Just don't know how many years to live."

Didi! Didi! Didi!

With such emotion, the communication device on the two men's power armour suddenly rang. Xu Peng took a look at the red mark and felt tight in his heart.

Red emergency meeting!

There are three levels of emergency meeting: the highest level is red, the second level is orange, and the lowest level is blue.

The red emergency meeting is almost the most important one. According to the regulations, everyone who receives the message must rush to the nearest meeting site within 10 minutes!

"I don't know what happened..."

"The asteroid is about to hit the base? Is that enough for the red standard? "

Full of worry, they hurried back to the underground base, guessing wildly.

All the way to see a lot of people screaming carnival, it's just like a Carnival Party, a little confused.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Peng stopped a young man who was excited and flushed. This guy was even so excited that the blood vessels on his forehead protruded one by one.

"Old captain The earth Earth The young man was so nervous that he began to stutter. He could only spit out the word "Earth", but he couldn't go on.

But that's not what he meant!

This led him to be more and more anxious. His face was red and swollen like a red balloon, and he forgot how to say the second half of the sentence.

"Is it the letter from the earth civilization?" Standing on one side, Lu Zhongping made a sudden look, "I see. This is really good news."

"But will earth civilization really do this? Let's go and have a look. "

This misunderstanding makes young people even more anxious. What kind of earth civilization is clearly the human branch of the earth age? These are two completely different concepts.

Finally, he struggled to come up with a good way. He scratched his hair hard. The pain made him break through the boundary of his brain. "Old captain, Professor Lu..."

"Not the earth It's the earth age that wrote back to us! "
