Chapter 446: Clairvoyant
At the press conference, the heat wave was like a tide.
The magnificent construction scene of the sky city on the holographic screen made the audience's blood boil.
Xie Liwu smiled and continued: "The main purpose of Xingyao Group's establishment of Sky City is to build spaceships, provide a stable resource supply for the space dock, and supply manpower and materials. ”
After speaking, Xie Liwu stretched out his hand, and the picture on the holographic screen in front of him changed.
I saw that the model drawings of more than 30 spaceships suddenly appeared on the three-dimensional holographic screen, small and miniature, small, medium, large, and four volumes, they have a strange appearance, some are flat, some are oval, and some are like felt hats,...... There are many models, and they are arranged in an orderly manner in a three-dimensional holographic screen.
Xie Liwu looked at the audience and introduced with a smile: "In addition to the Rock Mothership, these transport ships, mining ships, and attack ships,...... The construction of the spaceship is extremely complex and cumbersome, and there is still a lot of very complicated work to be done to come up with real design drawings, but as long as we work together, I believe that in the near future, we will be able to build them. ”
The eyes of the reporters in the audience lit up with the many sci-fi space battleships, and the cameras in their hands "clicked" and "clicked" non-stop.
Xie Liwu's introduction was like a hammer, hitting everyone's hearts hard, at this time, the hearts of the global audience collectively beat violently, and the Xingyao Group suddenly held a press conference, and everyone was ready to deal with the upcoming shock, but they were still frightened by the big action of the Xingyao Group.
Although Zhou Xing did not come to the stage in person at this press conference, and there was no refreshing new product announcement, Xie Liwu introduced the construction progress of Sky City and the future development of Xingyao Group in the aerospace field, which suddenly grabbed everyone's hearts.
The Star Group is almost all out to develop into space, and the action is too big, too fast.
Spectators all over the world cheered again when they heard the news, and the whole world was full of celebratory parades, as if they were celebrating a big holiday, and the whole world was immersed in a sea of joy, cheering for the 'city in the sky', cheering for the various 'spaceships', cheering for the Star Group.
At this moment, people all over the world no longer have the concept of a country, Xingyao Group belongs to all mankind, no longer belongs to a certain country, people's call for the establishment of a human federation is stronger, Xingyao Group has developed a whole human city for all mankind, there is no discrimination, there is no national immigration requirements, like a paradise-like science fiction city, open the door to welcome outstanding talents, for a while, the city in the sky has become a place of yearning for everyone in the world.
Suddenly receiving this news, the heads of state who were worried about the formation of the 'Human Federation' changed their faces one after another, and the Star Glory Group was going to 'drive them out'!
Once the city in the sky is successfully established, it will inevitably become the center of the world, and become a holy place that human beings yearn for, the speed of population flow and the scope of flow will be greatly intensified, and the construction project of the 'Rock' will bypass all mankind, and the influence of such a huge project is extremely huge, and the crown that dominates all mankind will immediately be worn on the star group that leads this project, where do they go?
With the current influence of Xingyao Group, it suddenly announced the construction progress of the 'Sky City' at this time, it must have been instructed by Zhou Xing, and it came for the leadership of the Human Federation, otherwise, how could it choose this time to appear.
It seems that the political axes of various countries want to establish a human federation without the Xingyao Group, bringing together more than 200 countries to form a world-class regime, relying only on the ridicule at the meeting, without taking some things out of the century, it will never be realized, and there is no force that force has the world-class influence of the Xingyao Group.
The press conference of Xingyao Group immediately put the reality of the establishment of a human federation in front of the heads of countries, and the establishment of a human federation immediately became the consensus in the hearts of the heads of state.
If the Human Federation wants to be established and operate stably, it must sort out and smooth out the interests of more than 200 countries, and digest the disputes and contradictions between countries.
Substantial progress was immediately made on the issue of establishing a human federation, and accordingly, representatives of the Star Group were invited by the heads of state to participate in the establishment of a quasi-federation.
At the meeting on the establishment of the human federation, the Xingyao Group was officially recognized by the heads of state, and the influence of the Xingyao Group was indispensable if they wanted to establish the human federation in a stable manner.
The Conference on the Establishment of the Human Federation has attracted a lot of attention since its inception, and now that there is a formal plan, everyone is anxiously waiting for the establishment of a unified government on Earth.
Time flies, the construction project of the city in the sky is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the most critical stage of the division of power for the establishment of the human federation is formulated.
Zhou Xing, who is used to being the shopkeeper, continues to focus on his research projects.
After nearly a year of rush manufacturing, the space version of the tunnel astronomical telescope has been transported to space by 'Xingyao' and has been assembled and debugged.
After the completion of the space satellite monitoring center, it has entered a busy work, the atmosphere in the control hall is solemn, the quiet pin drop can be heard, and all the scientific research personnel are nervously sitting in front of the computer displaying various instrument data, closely watching the detection data transmitted back by the space communication satellite.
The Tunnel Telescope Telescope Clairvoyant is preparing to try its first ultra-long-range mission, and scientists at the site are busy proofreading the instrument's data.
"Boss, all the preparations are in place and ready to go. Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xingdao.
"Well, Ash, how far should we go?" Zhou Xing asked a little nervously as he stared at the surveillance screen.
"Boss, the space astronomical telescope is being tried for the first time, and it is recommended to observe it nearby. Zhou Xiaozhi replied.
"Okay, adjust your direction and align with Alpha Centauri. Zhou Xing nodded and commanded.
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and immediately, he turned to look at the operation console and implemented it, and soon, a group of quantum signals flew out towards the sky.
In the distant space, the nearly 100-meter-long body of the slow-flying 'Clairvoyant' released a jet and fine-tuned its body, and the cylinder was facing the direction of the Alpha Centauri.
Zhou Xing stared directly at the monitoring screen, watched the 'Clairvoyant' make adjustments, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Boss, target locked, it's time to go. Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xing.
Hearing this, all the scientific researchers in the entire monitoring room held their breath and waited for Zhou Xing's order.
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to humans, but at a distance of 4.25 light-years, that is, a long distance of 4.25 Earth years at the speed of light, scientists and astronomers have wondered for generations whether it will have a planetary system like our own sun and whether life exists there, but the distance has hindered human observation of this galaxy.
Due to its closest proximity to the solar system, the Alpha Centauri has been studied in the most detail, and it has been determined that the Alpha Centauri system is a three-star system, which contains two stars that are very close to each other (Centauri A and B) and a companion star (Proxima Centauri) that is very far apart. According to recent exploration of an exorocky planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, it is likely to be a habitable planet.
This planet is about the same mass as the Earth, the orbital distance (the distance from the central star) is also in the "habitation zone", not far from the star, the surface of the planet is neither cold nor hot, there is liquid water, regardless of the size and luminosity of the central star, if you can find a planet with liquid water on the surface in the "habitation zone", then life is possible.
Proxima Centauri was discovered a century ago. Countless astronomers have tried to understand its motion, but the red dwarf, which is smaller and weaker in mass and luminosity than the Sun's, is too faint to complicate the task.
Now, the clairvoyant is about to be launched, is there alien life on that planet, is it suitable for human migration, what is the situation of that galaxy, and how do the three stars move?...... , everything will be revealed, and all the scientific researchers on the scene are extremely nervous.
Zhou Xing stared at the monitoring screen and nodded solemnly: "Turn on the clairvoyant immediately." ”
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and in an instant, the 'Clairvoyant' on the holographic screen trembled, the red light shone, and soon, a vast energy projected out, and instantly disappeared in the space not far ahead.
Faintly, a black hole was turned on by the vast amount of energy, and disappeared in an instant.
"Boss, the detection was successful, and the clairvoyant took pictures. Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xingdao.
Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen, and nodded again and again with joy: "I saw it, I saw it!"
The holographic screen presents an unfamiliar galaxy, three moving stars, the main star Centauri α A: has the same brightness as the Sun, the main star Centauri α star B: This star is a companion star of the main star α Centauri A, located at a distance of 13.8 arc seconds from the α star, the two stars revolve around each other, the main star Centauri α C: also known as Proxima Centauri, is the third star of the star system, a red dwarf, each star is surrounded by several planets, and the whole galaxy presents a peculiar structure.
With a "bang", the scientific researchers stood up and stared at the holographic screen, and the monitoring laboratory suddenly became a mess.
"We succeeded, we succeeded!
"Oh my God, they're so beautiful, they have so many planets around!"
"They're so beautiful, how they got into this structure, it's really beautiful. ”
“……。 ”
The researchers looked at the holographic screen, their faces were full of intoxication, and they couldn't help but scream, looking extremely excited.
Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xing: "Boss, the parameters have been analyzed, this galaxy has a total of 37 planets, and none of them are suitable for human survival. ”
"Well, I saw it!" Zhou Xing sighed.
The α Centauri galaxy is a three-body galaxy, the so-called three-body galaxy, which is simply this star system with three suns. The three stars are named α Centauri A, α Centauri B, and α Centauri C.
The system of the three suns is a chaotic and terrifying world, and the gravitational pull generated by the movement of celestial bodies will cause all the planets to produce chaotic gravitational changes, and their movement is irregular, and life on Earth will certainly not be able to adapt to this gravitational environment.
Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, looked at Zhou Xing and asked, "Boss, do you want to continue testing other galaxies?"
"Well, let's continue!" Zhou Xing nodded.
"Okay, boss, next, are we going to explore that galaxy?" Zhou Xiaozhi asked in response.
"Sift through a planet with the most likely water resources. Zhou Xing thought for a moment and instructed Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Boss, it is recommended to observe Kepler-186F first, which is a red dwarf star orbiting about 500 light-years from Earth, and there are five planets in this galaxy, of which Kepler-186F is the outermost planet, and from its distance, it is exactly in the outer layer of the habitable zone that can retain liquid water. Zhou Xiaozhi proposed to Zhou Xing.
"500 light years, a little far, change to a closer one. Zhou Xing frowned.
500 light-years means that even if humans develop a light-speed spaceship, it will take 500 years to immigrate to that planet, and countless accidents are likely to occur in the long distance.
"Boss, if you don't change to TRAPPIST-1, it's 40 light-years away from Earth and currently observes 7 planets, three of which are in the 'habitable zone'. Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and replied to Zhou Xingdao.
"Well, that's about the same distance! Zhou Xing nodded with a smile.
In modern times, with the vigorous development of science and technology, mankind has made a lot of achievements in the field of astronomy, especially in the observation of exoplanets to find planets suitable for human survival, which has reduced a lot of effort in the observation of 'clairvoyance'.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded to the order, and immediately sent a command signal to the sky, and the 'clairvoyant' in space adjusted its body and aimed at another galaxy.
There are more than 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, and there are countless planets orbiting around them, so it is not impossible to find a planet similar to the Earth among so many stars.
