It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Accompanied by an electronically synthesized sound, the azure blue holographic projection appeared in front of Lu Yongchang's eyes again, pulling his thoughts back from infinity.

"The probe has arrived in the Gliese 3929 star system, and the preliminary detection data has been sent back. Do you want to check?"

The electronically synthesized sound without the slightest fluctuation made Lu Yongchang's violent heartbeat gradually calm down.

Only then did he remember his second purpose of setting the "alarm clock" - to assign corresponding production and construction tasks to zero according to the specific conditions of the star system.

Theoretically speaking, as a strong artificial intelligence, Zero should have sufficient judgment ability for various emergencies.

But when it comes to the future of human civilization, he has to be more cautious.

Lu Yongchang nodded while thinking about the urgently needed supplies of the human fleet.

Whoa!

Incandescent lights once again filled the entire room, and the azure blue holographic image gradually enlarged.

The sudden strong light made Lu Yongchang subconsciously narrow his eyes.

The next moment, the lights in the room quickly dimmed and automatically adjusted to the brightness he felt comfortable with.

"Professor, according to the data sent back by the probe, there are two solid planets and one gas giant planet in this star system."

A star map slowly appeared in the holographic projection.

Lu Yongchang carefully read the various data sent back by the detector.

According to the data sent back by the probe, the two solid planets are slightly different.

Among them, the solid planet close to the host star is more similar to Mercury.

It can be easily judged from its mass, volume, and density data. Under the silicate shell, there is a high probability that there is a core of iron and nickel with extremely large reserves.

As for the other solid planet, it is an extremely cold world because it is far away from the main star and has a relatively thin atmosphere.

The surface is extremely dry, with only a small amount of solid ice, and there is almost no mining value.

It can be said that this is an extremely barren planet.

Needless to say, the gas giant planet.

It is a qualified energy replenishment station at any time.

Even though the human fleet has already used antimatter engines, Helium III is still an essential energy reserve in the fleet.

There are two main reasons.

On the one hand, the production of antimatter is difficult and relatively expensive. On the other hand, it is because antimatter energy is too wasteful to use on some equipment.

In addition to the fusion raw material helium-[-], a large amount of hydrogen in the gas giant planet can also be used as a raw material to drive the antimatter engine-usually, the antimatter engine will choose antihydrogen and hydrogen to annihilate each other to generate energy.

After all, hydrogen is extremely common in the universe, and antihydrogen is relatively easy to make.

Lu Yongchang withdrew his gaze, frowned slightly, and thought carefully about the next construction plan.

"First of all, reorganize the Dyson cloud antimatter production reserve base and list it as the first priority task."

While speaking, he reached out and tapped lightly on the star in the star chart.

"Received, the engineering ship and [Glutton] are being dispatched to the target area."

Accompanied by the sound of electronic synthesis, some starships broke away from the main force and flew straight towards the distant star emitting light and heat.

"Next is the second priority construction task."

"Construct mineral mining facilities and starship manufacturing plants near Gliese 3929b."

(The planets are named, the first one is Gliese 3929b, the second one is Gliese 3929c, and so on, a means the star itself.)

"Combined with the star gold and carbyne carried by the fleet, we will make all kinds of war resources with all our strength."

The so-called war resources, in addition to weapons and ammunition, are all kinds of warships.

After two consecutive wars, coupled with the tail-docking plan, the strength of the People's Federation fleet has shrunk severely.

In order to prevent unexpected situations on the next journey, expanding the fleet is already an imminent task.

But Lu Yongchang frowned again.

Carbyne is a trivial matter. Although Gliese 3929c is very poor, it can still get some carbon.

The focus is on star gold.

There are no ice giants in Gliese 3929, which directly cut off Lu Yongchang's idea of ​​mining star gold.

Of course, he also knows that not all ice giants have star gold resources.

Therefore, as early as the construction of the Dyson cloud device, the People's Union Academy of Sciences spent a lot of resources on artificial star gold technology.

At present, this technology has fully matured.

But raw materials have become a big problem.

Without raw materials, everything is empty talk!

Gliese 3929, this star system is too barren, so barren that Lu Yongchang only feels his scalp tingling.

There must be a star system with relatively abundant supplies nearby, but the primary goal of the Human Federation Fleet is still the small black hole.

The sooner they reach the black hole, the sooner they can master the curvature technology, and the sooner they can become a level [-] civilization!

For this little resource, spending hundreds of years is obviously not worth the candle.

In desperation, Lu Yongchang could only adjust his instructions with a heartbroken face.

"Reduce the amount of war resource preparation by half."

"We need to save some supplies for the war that may happen at any time."

"Received, the manufacturing plan has been changed." Zero didn't understand Lu Yongchang's expression at this time. As before, it faithfully carried out the instructions from the creator.

"The third priority task, let [Rayfish] go to Gliese 3929d to collect helium three and hydrogen."

Lu Yongchang raised his hand, rubbed his face vigorously, then exhaled a foul breath, and said again: "Zero, estimate the time required for all tasks."

With hardly any waiting, Zero's response rang out again: "Estimated time to complete all projects is 47.69 years."

"Almost 50 years..."

Lu Yongchang muttered to himself: "It's acceptable."

"By the way, remember to release the probe and create a warning zone around the star system."

The experience after leaving the earth made Lu Yongchang, and even the entire human civilization, startled.

The United Fleet, who is afraid of another unintended disaster, will release a large number of detectors even during the voyage, creating a sufficiently large warning circle around the fleet.

"The task has been executed, and the early warning detector has been successfully released."

Seeing the holographic projection of detectors coming out of the [Golden Crow] battleship, Lu Yongchang nodded with satisfaction, and then controlled his body to float towards the hibernation cabin.

"After completing all production and construction tasks, control the fleet to go to the black hole area."

While getting into the hibernation cabin, he said in a serious tone: "No matter what happens, the distance between the fleet and the black hole must be kept outside the warning value."

"receive."

The hatch of the hibernation cabin was slowly closed, and the pale yellow deep-sea fluid filled the interior of the hibernation cabin again.

Lu Yongchang, who had been injected with hibernin, slowly closed his eyes with endless curiosity about black holes.

The lights in the room gradually dimmed until they went out.

The flagship [Earth] once again fell into silence.

But the fleet became active.

Under Zero's instructions one by one, a large number of engineering ships carried corresponding supplies and headed towards the preset area!

The barren Gliese 3929 star system became lively for the first time after being silent for billions of years!

Chapter 587 Black Hole!

Since the People's Federation Fleet arrived in the Gliese 3929 star system, this star system, which has been stagnant for countless years, has finally seen some changes.

The Dyson cloud system near the main star, the planetary mining equipment near the planet Gliese 3929b...

And warning detectors all over the star system.

A large number of mechanical equipment created an illusion of incomparable prosperity for this barren star system.

The reason why it is said to be an illusion is naturally because such a prosperous scene will only last for 50 years.

The earth calendar is 2670 years.

A growing fleet has passed through the "hot" hydrogen wall around the star system.

A large amount of antihydrogen contacts with hydrogen in the reaction chamber and annihilates, releasing enormous energy.

These energies push the fleet to accelerate towards the destination!

The camera turns back to the Gliese 3929 star system.

After 50 years of destructive mining, Gliese 3929 looks more and more desolate at this time.

Gliese 3929c, because the abundance of resources is not high, escaped by chance, but there are countless bottomless pits on the surface.

Gliese 3929d, a massive gas giant, has barely changed.

As for the Gliese 3929b...

No, there is no Gliese 3929b anymore.

At the orbit of Gliese 3929b, an asteroid belt appears.

Like the asteroid belt between Mars and Saturn.

However, unlike the asteroid belt in the solar system, almost all asteroids in the Gliese 3929 asteroid belt are composed of silicates.

Iron, nickel and other metals all fell into the "belly" of the United Fleet.

……

"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

With the gradually clear buzzer sound, Lu Yongchang's consciousness gradually became clear.

He coughed skillfully twice, coughing up the remaining deep sea fluid in his trachea.

"Zero, what happened?"

As soon as he regained his sanity, Lu Yongchang straightened up suddenly, and asked hurriedly: "Star Pirates Civilization, or..."

"Professor, the fleet is about to arrive at its destination."

"In accordance with the wake-up procedure, Academy of Sciences and Parliament personnel are being awakened as a priority."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but stunned in the hibernation cabin.

After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and asked in an extremely strange tone.

"Zero, are you sure the fleet has arrived at its destination?"

"Did you encounter any accidents during the voyage?"

"Didn't you encounter other civilizations during the 95 light-year journey?"

Zero's electronic synthesizer sounded: "Professor, I am sure I have reached the target area."

"During the voyage, no traces of interstellar civilization were found."

As he spoke, a small holographic image appeared in front of Lu Yongchang.

【Logbook】

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, but just flipped through the logbook in front of him with a puzzled expression.

According to the logbook, the voyage was unexpectedly smooth.

Except for a burst of large-scale meteorite rain, this long journey spanning 95 light years has hardly encountered any obstacles.

"incredible……"

Lu Yongchang widened his eyes and muttered to himself: "How is it possible..."

"Where did they go?!"

Where did those interstellar civilizations go? !
