Chapter 337： The explosion of science and technology (2)

"The accident has killed 23 special forces so far. Sky Whale has been listed as a planet with a huge threat by the alliance. The alliance is ready to send the first fleet and the second group to support,..." Da Hei gushed endlessly. Report the latest situation to Li Yi.

"Yeah! Pay close attention to this matter, and notify me immediately if there is any major discovery!" Li Yi nodded and urged.

Regarding the exploration and colonization of extra-system stars, Li Yi has always adopted the pigeon strategy. In his opinion, with the current population of more than 40 billion human beings, the solar system can fully meet the survival needs of human beings, even if it is increased by ten times, it is wrong. More than a mistake, we should focus on the development of human civilization itself. Obtaining a large amount of alien technology from the library is enough to support human civilization into stellar civilization. At present, the most important thing is to develop our own technology, not to explore the system. alien galaxy.

However, the coalition government, and many scientists do not think so.

Human civilization has finally developed sub-light speed spacecraft. Humans cannot go to those remote galaxies. However, some galaxies near the solar system have the ability to visit. It only takes twenty or thirty years for human interstellar spacecraft to travel from the solar system. What an attraction to fly to another galaxy!

This is this kind of concept. The high-level government quickly, at the request of the people, organized civil organizations and official organizations to start the exploration of extrasolar galaxies.

And released relevant policies to encourage the exploration of alien galaxies, and organizations and individuals who have explored valuable planets can obtain 1%-5% of the operating profit of the entire planet. This is an extraordinary figure that has attracted countless interstellar exploration organizations around the world. And individuals, have launched the adventure of the interstellar voyage.

It is like the great news of Columbus' discovery of the new continent during the great voyage of mankind, which completely detonated the enthusiasm of all mankind for the exploration of extrasolar galaxies, interstellar expeditions, interstellar companies, alien civilization exploration teams, ..., various organizations, One after another was established, millions,  ….

"Understood! Master!" Da Hei responded.

The extraterrestrial exploration has the intervention of the alliance government. Li Yi does not need to pay too much attention to this matter. Humans are bound to encounter other alien civilizations when they explore the outer galaxy. Outside the galaxy, there is no value to explore.

At the speed of human spacecraft, without mastering the space-time wormhole, galaxies over a hundred light-years are enough to exhaust the limited lifespan of human beings. Thinking of these planets, immigration becomes meaningless.

Human civilization is now in a period of crazy expansion, enjoying the results of the explosion of interstellar technology. With the advancement of technology, the scope of human civilization's exploration of the universe is getting wider and wider. This expansion is bound to cause trouble. Small troubles can be solved, and eventually In the face of unsolvable troubles, human civilization will encounter a huge crisis, or provoke a powerful alien intelligent civilization in the galaxy, or an unknown existence, ... At that time, the war between civilizations cannot be avoided.

The universe is too big. Within a hundred light-years, human activities are still in a relatively safe range, and everything is still in a controllable state. Therefore, even if Li Yi chooses to be dove, it will not stop human civilization from developing towards the world. Exploration of alien galaxies.

The human alliance government is preparing more life planets for the rapidly expanding population. Therefore, with the encouragement of the human alliance government, participating in the space exploration group and launching interstellar exploration has become the hottest thing in human civilization nowadays. It is one of the tens of millions of exploration spacecraft in human civilization.

On the expedition ship Tees, the dim command room lights suddenly turned on, and an electronically synthesized voice suddenly said: "The preset destination has arrived, and the wake-up system is activated."

Immediately, the sound of 'Katha' and 'Katha' in the dormant room rang out, and the dormant hatches opened one after another.

"Captain Teas, Adjutant Li Yan, Adjutant Lina, Captain George, ..., the preset destination has arrived, and the dormancy has ended."

"Captain Teas, Adjutant Li Yan, Adjutant Lina, Captain George, ..., the preset destination has arrived, and the dormancy has ended."

"..."

The electronic synthesis was repeated in the dormant cabin one after another, like an alarm clock to wake up the crew in the dormant cabin.

"Pfft! Pfft!" In the dormant area of ​​the spacecraft, bursts of jets sounded, and the dormant compartments opened.

"Okay, Wade, shut up now, we're all at it!" A white man struggled to get up from the dormant cabin and shouted loudly at the communicator. He was very upset when he was woken up. The electronic synth sounds made him grumpy.

"Understood, Captain George!" The electronic synthesizer answered, ending the repeated alarm.

"Haha, George, why are you angry with Wade! It's just an intelligent program." A middle-aged man smiled and reassured.

"Boss, hurry up and replace Wade! We are all up, where is it still shouting, it is not intelligent at all, the 'Xinghui' of the third generation of the sky is the brain, and Wade is an artificial mental retardation." Climb out of hibernation George in the cabin said with a displeased expression.

"That's right, Captain, you must seriously consider George's suggestion." Li Yan, who had just climbed out of the dormant cabin, echoed with a smile.

"The third code name of the sky, that thing costs 50 million stars, you want my life!" Captain Teas rolled his eyes at everyone and scolded with a smile.

"Boss, you get what you pay for! Our Tees is out of date. If the Sky Vault III is replaced, the time spent on this trip can be reduced by at least one third, and the safety performance can be improved by at least five times. ' George reminded.

"Yeah! The third generation of the sky is not only able to fly at sub-light speed, but also equipped with a proton main gun, the attack power is a hundred times that of the Tees, ..." George nodded excitedly and introduced the advantages of the third generation of the sky.

The risk of interstellar exploration is extremely high, and a good spacecraft is too important for the safety of the crew.

Hearing this, Captain Teas was silent for a while. He didn't know the benefits of the third generation of the sky, but a penny beats a penny!

"Let's wait until the end of this expedition. If we can make money, we will change it immediately. If not, our team should almost be disbanded." Captain Teas looked at the crowd and suddenly announced.

George widened his eyes and looked at Captain Teas in disbelief: "What's going on? Our financial situation is already so bad?"

Everyone stopped their movements and looked at Captain Teas. They were all stunned by this sudden news.

"I'm sorry, the expeditions with financial resources have replaced the third generation of the sky, and we, ..., the competition in this industry is very fierce. If this trip does not get a corresponding return, the Tees can only change its business model." Captain Teas looked at the crowd and announced sadly.

"Boss..."

Everyone looked at Captain Teas, and for a while, they didn't know how to comfort him.

"Haha, don't be sad, everyone, maybe we can gain something from this expedition! Not to mention changing the spaceship, maybe everyone becomes rich and doesn't need to take risks." Li Yan looked at the crowd and said with a smile.

"Yeah! Li Yan is right. For the sake of the future rich life, everyone is moving." Captain Teas focused his head and looked at everyone's urging, saying: "Li Yan, George, follow me to the command room. , Lina checks the physical state of all the staff, and everyone else is in their place, move, hurry, hurry..."

Hearing this, everyone went to do bird sanitation, inspected the spacecraft, received medical examinations, ..., and they all entered a state of intense work.

Soon, Captain Teas led Li Yan, and George arrived at the command room. Outside the huge command window, a blue and green planet was oncoming.

"Wade, report the situation of the spacecraft." As soon as Captain Teas entered the command room, he immediately issued an order to the auxiliary brain.

"Tees, the current speed is 1700 km/s, it is decelerating, the pressure in the cabin is normal, and the gravity inside the ship is 1.27g, ..." Wade's electronic synthesis voice detailed the state of the spacecraft.

"Wade, how long will it take for us to arrive at Bo Xing? Report the monitoring information of Bo Xing." Captain Teas continued to ask while looking at other monitoring data on the screen of the console.

"At the current speed, the Tees will enter the orbit of the Bo star in five hours. Bo star is the fourth star in the order of distance from the star to the star in the Lant TU7 galaxy. It is the largest in diameter, mass and density in the Lant TU7 galaxy. The terrestrial planet, 170 million kilometers away from the star, takes about 4.7 billion years to form, and has a surface area of ​​823 million square kilometers, of which 37% is ocean and 64% is land,..." Zhinao - 'Wade' detailed Bo star parameter track.

"It's so beautiful, Captain, this distance is so similar to Earth, we will definitely gain something from this trip." Li Yan said excitedly, looking at the huge Bo Xingxing outside the window.

"Unfortunately, it lacks a satellite. Otherwise, its development value will definitely enter the second series, and earning tens of billions is not a problem!" George looked out the window and said regretfully.

The human civilization that entered the era of the stars and the sea, with the prosperity and development of scientific and technological civilization, suddenly lost its shackles, involving more and more star fields, more and more planets, and preparing to start interstellar immigration to the proven planet.

According to the information of the expedition ship's expedition and the comprehensive score evaluation, the alliance government has listed all the planets suitable for development in several sequences.

The first series has an ecological environment similar to that of the Earth's parent star. However, humans have only found one planet of this level, which is called the sky star.

The second series is a planet with an ecological environment for human survival, which can be suitable for human survival with less planetary transformation. The alliance government now has dozens of planets in the second series, most of which are currently under development or to be developed. .

The third series are planets that are not extreme environments. After a certain transformation, they can reach the environment where human immigrants live, or planets rich in special metal resources.

The fourth series has a certain development value, however, it is not worth the huge investment of human society to develop the planet.

...

"It's not bad. In order to obtain the right to explore this planet, we paid a lot for it, and we hope to gain something." Captain Teas smiled contentedly.

A planet like Earth that is suitable for the survival of human civilization is hard to come by. Captain Teas's heart is not so big.

The mother planet of mankind - the earth has a natural satellite - the moon, forming a small celestial body system - the earth-moon system. Although the lead of the moon is not big, its existence officially makes the earth have tides. The direction of the moon's revolution is just opposite to the direction of the earth's rotation, so the sea water is also opposite to the direction of the earth's rotation, causing friction between the sea and the seabed, although This frictional force is very small, but it is enough to affect the speed of the earth's rotation: the rotation speed of the earth slows down, and the moon has the effect of stabilizing the inclination of the earth's rotation axis, so the earth has suitable seasons without being too extreme,

It is the formation of the Earth-Moon system that enables the earth to form an ecological environment suitable for human survival.

If there is no moon, the speed of the earth's autobiography will be 3 times that of now, and the daytime on the earth will only be 8 hours. Due to the faster rotation of the earth, there will be strong east-west storms and hurricanes on the earth, and there will be no trees on the earth. , because plants have to be firmly attached to the ground to survive, animals need to be stronger, preferably with aerodynamic shapes and natural carapaces, because only then can they not be blown by the strong winds-maybe Earth will be ruled by creatures like turtles and armadillosIf there is no moon, the gravitational moment of the sun and other planets will cause the earth's rotation axis to wobble and tilt to an extreme degree, even more than 90 degrees, and it will eventually become similar to Venus and Uranus.

"George, planets with near-Earth satellites are very rare. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Its size and quality are suitable, and its rotation speed is just right. All these can form such an ecological environment. If there is an additional natural satellite, it will now be I'm afraid the situation is not like this." Li Yan looked at George and smiled and reassured.

Hearing this, George nodded with a wry smile, indicating that he understood what he meant.

"Detect first! As long as the environment is suitable, it is not difficult for the alliance government to artificially build a near-Earth satellite for it." Captain Tice looked at Li Yan and said.

Li Yan nodded, the alliance government is now preparing for the rapidly expanding population, and human beings are mature enough to master the technology of modifying the planet's climate. If the planet's environment is not too harsh, it can be transformed into a suitable human living planet.

However, the length of time, and whether the star system of the planet itself is stable, ..., etc., special factors have become very critical. How to find a kind of life star with an environment similar to the earth, the alliance government is absolutely willing to spend a huge amount of money to replace it. Invest in remodeling.

"Wade, prepare to launch the probe, collect the atmospheric environment and ecological environment of Bo star, and prepare for the landing." Captain Teas gave the order.

"Okay, Captain!" Teece Wisdom Wade readily answered.

Immediately, the belly of the Tees suddenly opened, and a series of drone detectors were dropped on Bo Xingxing.

Soon, the Tees arrived near the low-Earth orbit of the Bo star, and began a period of continuous detection of the unknown Bo star.
