Homo sapiens.

6 Chapter Sixty

Solar system, Kuiper belt.

The void is about 41 billion kilometers away from Pluto.

A star with a radius of 150 kilometers has been swallowed up by nano-robots made of living metal.

This large asteroid code-named "Kingfisher Star" was transformed into an artificial planet densely covered with various facilities.

If it is a Homo sapiens company before obtaining the technology of omnic civilization, it will take at least ten years to transform such a planet, and this planet is located in the outer layer of the Kuiper belt, to reach the current scale.

After obtaining the technology of the omnic civilization, the speed of its planetary transformation has been increased by several orders of magnitude.

It only took about 4 months to complete the transformation of Kingfisher.

At present, the transformation project of Kingfisher Star has been completed. The original shape of this planet is similar to that of an almond tree, but after transformation, it becomes a nearly spherical shape.

And on the equator of the near-spherical equator of Kingfisher star, there is a huge artificial star ring structure surrounding it.

In order to gather enough materials for transforming Kingfisher, the Kuiper Belt Colonial Branch almost emptied the surrounding asteroids within 5 million kilometers.

At this time, on the artificial star ring of the Kingfisher star, a special spark spacecraft has completed its final maintenance work.

Zhao Changfeng, Dr. Lexington and others who came from the Saturn colonization branch through the synchronous robot also appeared here.

Los Ali, who had been busy at Kingfisher Star for more than a month, quickly floated over when he saw the two of them coming:

"Doctor, this is the final test report, take a look, I will arrange the launch if there is no problem."

Dr. Lexington took the bio-tablet with a very serious expression on his face. He carefully checked every data in the test report.

This launch is the first time Civilization Tinder has actually been put into use. The previous twenty times were just tests, and there are still some differences.

After carefully reviewing it twice, Dr. Lexington signed on it: "Okay, Ross, you arrange the launch!"

"OK." Los Ali nodded.

The Tinder spaceship carrying the civilization Tinder core was dragged onto the electromagnetic acceleration pipeline.

The pipeline superconducting coil of the electromagnetic acceleration track is activated quickly, and the super Lorentz force pushes the Pinder spacecraft to accelerate slowly.

In the electromagnetic acceleration orbit around the kingfisher star ring pipeline, the speed of the fire starship climbed up little by little.

Until the speed reaches the critical point of 20 per second.

"Changing track!"

"Roger that!"

One point of the circular electromagnetic track is connected to a section of straight electromagnetic track.

In an instant, the Pyro spacecraft entered the linear electromagnetic orbit along the turning point, and then 3 seconds later, it flew out of the linear electromagnetic orbit and rushed into the vast interstellar space.

"Manual intervention in navigation..."

"Start to adjust the flight direction, the target is closer..."

"Start to correct the coordinates of the adjacent system..."

After 21 minutes, the Pylon spacecraft completed the course adjustment. Its target coordinate system is not the position of the Proximity System at this time, but the position of the Proximity System after 210 years has been calculated, and the error of the speed of light information feedback at this time is added. correct coordinate system.

If flying according to the Proximity system coordinate system at this time, then the Pylon spacecraft will definitely not be able to meet the Proximity system after 210 years.

"The heading coordinate system is confirmed, start to enter the acceleration mode..."

"The nuclear fusion power system is activated, generating power at 5%..."

The super-high-speed plasma thruster of the Pylon spacecraft spewed out a long light blue tail flame. Driven by the plasma, the Pylon spacecraft became faster and faster.

At the same time, a huge umbrella-shaped membrane is unfolded in front of the Pylon spacecraft. The radius of this umbrella-shaped membrane is about 1.5 kilometers.

The surface of the umbrella-shaped film is a special magnetic material that can absorb hydrogen atoms and helium atoms in the interstellar space.

These adsorbed hydrogen and helium atoms will be used by the spacecraft as nuclear fuel and working fluid.

Of course, there are certain side effects in doing so, and the most obvious side effect is that the huge umbrella-shaped membrane will produce weak resistance after colliding with the stardust particles.

Although this kind of resistance is very subtle, it will still seriously weaken the flight speed of the Pyro spacecraft after a long period of time.

However, compared with the obtained hydrogen and helium atoms, the lost speed can still be compensated by secondary acceleration.

In addition, the detection system of the fireship spacecraft is also turned on around the clock to fully monitor the wandering planets along the way.

On the one hand, it is to avoid car accidents.

On the other hand, it is to find a relatively large planet on the way when necessary, as a transfer station and supply point.

In fact, there are not a few wandering planets in interstellar space.

Although most of the wandering planets are asteroids, wandering planets similar to six-clawed giant stars actually exist, but the number is relatively small and it is difficult to encounter.

Among the information about the omnic civilization technology obtained by Homo sapiens company is the technology on how to monitor the dark star.

At present, according to the monitoring report of the Space Reconnaissance Department, there are not many wandering planets in the interstellar space between the solar system and the neighboring system.

One of the largest wandering planets is a dwarf planet with a radius of about 1736 kilometers. This dwarf planet is 1.23 light-years away from the solar system.

In addition to this dwarf planet, the number of other asteroids with a radius higher than 100 kilometers is 86.

As for asteroids with a radius of less than 100 kilometers, it is very difficult to monitor as they get farther and farther away from the solar system.

For these large asteroids floating in the interstellar space, the Homo sapiens company's idea is to make full use of them.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, after launching the first Pyro spacecraft, within two months, three more Pyro spacecraft were successively launched to the neighboring system.

The task of these spark spacecraft is to serve as a backup, and at the same time, they are also responsible for setting up secret supply stations and monitoring stations on the large asteroids along the way.

In fact, supply stations and monitoring stations are set up among the dark stars in these interstellar spaces.

On the one hand, it is to resupply or repair the subsequent spark spacecraft;

On the other hand, it is to monitor the interstellar space and provide guarantee for the safety of the solar system.

Finally, there is the purpose of the cunning rabbit and the three caves.

In fact, it involves another sub-project of Civilization Spark-the Dark Star Project.

As the Space Reconnaissance Department conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the interstellar space around the solar system, a large number of asteroids hidden in the interstellar space were discovered.

If these asteroids floating in the interstellar space are used as resource planets to mine resources, they are actually of little value to the solar system and Homo sapiens.

After all, the long-distance transportation depresses the value of these asteroids, unless they are rare elements.

But if these asteroids are used as secret bases, and then these asteroids are transformed, nuclear fusion power systems and plasma thrusters are used to push some asteroids to more distant starry sky.

This can be used as a backhand for human civilization. In case the solar system is destroyed one day, human civilization can still make a comeback with the help of the secret bases in these dark stars.

Chapter 661 changes

Space Reconnaissance Department.

In Hill's office, she looked at a piece of information that had just been delivered, and her face involuntarily became serious.

"Ruoxi, make an appointment for me to meet Mr. Chairman, within three days, the reason is S-level intelligence."

Assistant Li Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, Minister."

Seeing the back of the assistant leaving in a hurry, Hill lowered his head again and carefully read the information again.

It has been several years since the abnormal light spots appeared on the six-claw superstar. The Cosmic Reconnaissance Department has been monitoring the six-claw superstar for these years.

Until more than a week ago, a monitoring station 0.092 light-years away from the center of the solar system once again monitored the movement of the six-clawed giant star.

the other side.

After receiving the meeting application from the Space Reconnaissance Department, Sanjibada Leal found out that it was S-level intelligence, and she dared not neglect it.

Quickly adjusted Li Qingye's recent itinerary.

Less than 17 hours.

Li Qingye took the time to meet Hill through the virtual conference room.

"Mr. Chairman!"

"Hill, where's the information?"

Hill had been prepared for a long time and immediately shared the relevant information.

After receiving the information, Li Qingye flipped through it while listening to Hill's briefing.

"Chairman, 9 days ago, our monitoring station in the outer solar system detected dense heat radiation points." Hill pointed to the holographic star map and explained:

"These dense heat radiation points are produced by plasma, and their moving track is the solar system. According to the continuous monitoring data, the moving speed of these heat radiation points is getting faster and faster, and it has reached about 752 kilometers per second..."

"Considering that it takes about 3 years for the light of the six-clawed giant star to travel to the solar system, this means that the other party set off 3 years ago."

Li Qingye also finished reading the information at this time, he turned his head and said: "Jasmine, tell Maung Gu and Du Wei to come here."

"Yes, sir." The figure of Sanjibada Leal disappeared into the virtual meeting room.

After a while, the figures of Maung Gu and Du Wei who were urgently summoned appeared in front of Li Qingye.

Maung Gu immediately saluted Li Qingye: "Chairman!"

"Chairman!" Du Wei, who was in charge of the Space Defense Department, followed closely behind and saluted.

Li Qingye waved his hand, and shared the information with the two of them: "Look at this information first."

"Yes."

Maung Gu and Du Wei hurriedly browsed the information. After all, it was Li Qingye who personally summoned them. Obviously this information is very important.

The more they looked at each other, the more they frowned.

Maung Gu raised his head solemnly: "Chairman, the six-claw civilization is not good! We can't wait passively, it's better to take the initiative."

"Chairman, I agree with Minister Maung's idea." Du Wei clenched his fists.

Li Qingye naturally would not object: "Well, I have no objection to your ideas. As the base camp of human civilization, the solar system is absolutely not allowed to become a battlefield. It is best to wipe out these six-clawed people in the middle."

However, Hill still reminded: "Chairman, two colleagues, now we still have obvious shortcomings in the real situation of the six-clawed people. After all, the previous six-clawed spaceship can only represent the six-clawed civilization 5 years ago. Before going to war, we still have to go all out and be cautious."

Regarding this point, everyone will naturally not be so arrogant that they think that the six-claw civilization is vulnerable.

After all, the six-claw civilization is a first-level civilization, which is much stronger than the free world on earth.

In order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, Li Qingye thought for a while: "Let's do this! Du Wei!"

"Here!" Du Wei immediately sat upright.

"You and Hill cooperate to launch a batch of spark spaceships to the direction of the six-claw superstar, quickly capture the dark stars along the way, and build a defensive fortress based on the large dark stars along the way."

"Yes!"

"no problem."

Li Qingye circled those dark stars on the star map with his fingers: "Remember, not only do we need to occupy the large dark stars, but we must also empty out all the small dark stars around the large dark stars, so as not to leave anything that the six claws can use. Astral."

Du Wei immediately understood Li Qingye's intentions.

Regardless of the fact that the six-clawed giant star is 3.2 light-years away from the center of the solar system, this distance is close at hand on a cosmic scale.

However, it is still very difficult for an ordinary first-level civilization to span 3.2 light years.

If there is no material supplement along the way, the consequence is that the strength of the Star Expeditionary Fleet will become weaker and weaker.

Unless the six-claw man's space navigation technology reaches the level of 30% of the speed of light and can reach the solar system within a dozen years, the fleet will definitely continue to reduce its personnel.

And the sailing speed of 30% of the speed of light, among the cosmic civilizations known by Homo sapiens, only the Hengguang civilization can achieve it. This civilization is the quasi-secondary civilization that defeated the omnic civilization.

Obviously, the possibility that the six-claw civilization can increase the speed of the spacecraft to more than 30% of the speed of light is very small.

It's not that Li Qingye looks down on the six-claw civilization, but according to the omnic civilization's database, the spaceship needs to break through 5% of the speed of light, which is impossible with a simple plasma thruster, and it is possible only with the black hole's gravitational slingshot Increase the speed to 5-10% of the speed of light.

According to the detection data of the Space Reconnaissance Department, there is no black hole around the six-claw giant star, and a pure plasma thruster cannot even break through 5% of the speed of light.

Li Qingye estimates that the spaceships of the six-claw civilization can only reach 2% of the speed of light at most, or even 0.5% of the speed of light.

This is not his random guess, but determined by resources.

The resources of the six-claw giant star are too poor. Even if the other party mines all the natural satellites and ring asteroids of the six-claw giant star, and even collects the surface gas of the giant planet quickly, the resources it has are not enough for the solar system. One in five thousandth.

Even if the solar system does not count the sun, but only counts planets, natural satellites, asteroids, and stardust, the resources are still more than ten times that of the six-clawed giant star.

The lack of resources will severely limit the speed of civilization development, and it will also make the upper limit of civilization even lower.
