Chapter 603: Flame γ
Chen Xin naturally didn't know that a meeting tens of millions of light years away had already decided the bloody storm that the galaxy would usher in next. In fact, even if he knew it, he didn't have a good way, and with the current strength of humans and steel hammers, he could only deal with it passively.
After a long voyage of forty years, humanity has finally reached the destination of this long migration, the Fire Galaxy.
The Flame Galaxy is about 800 light-years from Orion's cantilever and up to 4,500 light-years from Perseus' cantilever.
It is within the influence of the Tianqin civilization and is relatively safe.
Under normal circumstances, lawless interstellar pirates and smuggling groups would not be interested in the third-level civilizations in the Chaos Star Field.
Moreover, the more than 20 star systems in the vicinity of the flame galaxy 30 light-years are all the territory of Aesop's civilization.
The Aesop civilization belongs to the third-level peak civilization, and it is only one step away from stepping into the fourth-level civilization.
They are also part of the Galactic Pan-Human Alliance, and after passing through the unified field theory equation from the Lyra civilization, they will hand over control of the Fire Galaxy to humanity.
There are three stars in the Flame Galaxy, of which α and β form a binary orbiting system between 14 and 50 astronomical units, and γ orbit independently from 15,000 light-years away from the binary system.
The flame γ belongs to the red giant, 100 million years ago, it officially changed from a yellow dwarf to a red giant, although the red giant star only has a lifespan of a few hundred million years, but for humans, this is still a long and stable home.
The Flame γ currently has four planets, two terrestrial planets in orbit near the Flame γ, and two gaseous planets on the periphery.
Resources within this galaxy alone. It was enough for humans to step from level 3 to level 4.
New Earth escaped from faster-than-light flight 1,500 AU away from the Flame Galaxy and then glided at 0.9 times the speed of light in a process that would last a month. During this time, the New Earth continued to slow down until it was completely docked into the orbit of the flame γ.
Dozens of satellite-class and small-planet-class warships that were originally moored in the New Earth also sailed out of the New Earth to form a small escort fleet.
The Jiangcheng is naturally the flagship of this fleet.
Although the number of this fleet seems to be small, these are all high-end goods made by the Lyra civilization, and their combat power is amazing.
Especially the Jiangcheng, even within the Lyra civilization. It can be regarded as an extremely advanced military warship, and with the existence of such a core fleet, human beings have the capital to protect themselves in the chaotic star field.
The human world currently within the New Earth. The total number of troops exceeded 10 million, of which 3 million belonged to the internal guard and the remaining 7 million were members of the fleet.
Due to the limited number of warships, the military could only take three to four people in one post for rotation. Most of the training is done through a holographic simulation system in the second world.
According to the current plan of the Supreme Council. After humans arrive in the Flame Galaxy and complete large-scale industrial construction, they will carry out a large-scale military expansion.
Today, inside New Earth, humanity is actively preparing for the first contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.
Previously, the contact between human civilization and Tianqin civilization has been indirectly through Chen Xin, but this time, it is the real contact with extraterrestrial civilization since the history of human civilization.
As a result, the Supreme Council is well prepared to learn the Carbon-Based Alliance language, which is common to the galaxy. Several times, he asked Chen Xin about Aesop's civilization.
Chen Xin naturally knows everything about this, and he has nothing to say.
During the decades of Lyra's civilized life. Chen Xin not only pays attention to the progress of science and technology, but also has a more detailed understanding of the distribution of the major forces in the galaxy, especially the distribution of forces in the chaotic star field.
Because of the signing of the peace treaty between the Carbon-based Life Alliance and the Silicon-based Life Alliance, civilizations above level 5 cannot directly intervene in the situation in the Chaos Star Domain, therefore, after a long evolution, the war between the major civilizations in the Chaos Star Domain has gradually evolved into a proxy war.
And the Aesop civilization is precisely one of the agents of the Lyra civilization in the chaotic star field.
Perhaps because of the Lyra civilization, the Aesop civilization is quite friendly to the arrival of humans.
When the fleet with the New Earth as the core was only 1,000 astronomical units away from the Flame γ, a strangely shaped satellite-class warship appeared on the path of the New Earth fleet.
The battleship looked only half the size of the Jiangcheng, and its appearance was completely different from that of a human warship.
It didn't take long for the New Earth quantum receiver to receive a message written in the lingua franca of the Carbon-Based Alliance: "Hello friends of Earth civilization, welcome to the Flame Galaxy, I am the Rosotto, the flagship of the Second Fleet of Aesop Civilization, please follow the guidance of the Rossoto into the Flame Galaxy." ”
The human fleet had been prepared for such information for a long time, and quickly replied in the common language of the Carbon-Based Alliance: "Hello Dear Aesop Civilization, we are the Earth Civilization Fleet, and we are ordered by the Lyra Empire to receive the Flame Galaxy. ”
Guided by the Rosotto, the human fleet slowly entered the interior of the flame γ.
Of the four planets γ the flame, the innermost orbiting planet is about 0.1 AU away from the flame γ.
The planet is very small, half the size of Mercury, and from space, it looks like a large, scorching liquid fireball with a surface of scorching magma.
Under the action of tidal gravity and the rotation of the planet, its side near the flame γ bulged high, forming a super wave thousands of meters high that spread throughout the planet.
Originally, this planet was not like this.
More than 100 million years ago, the flame γ devoured three planets when it transformed from an ordinary yellow dwarf star to a red giant, and although the planet was lucky to escape, the flames stripped the planet γ the surface of the planet by the solar wind ejected from its interior, exposing its liquid iron core to space.
The distance between it and the γ of the flame is also getting closer day by day, and according to calculations, in another 10 million years, the planet is likely to fall into the interior of the flame γ and be completely swallowed by it.
In contrast, the second terrestrial planet is undoubtedly much luckier.
The planet is similar in size to Earth, but the surface is full of desert and life.
It is about 0.7 astronomical units γ the flame, and its surface is covered with a dense atmosphere containing more than 10 percent carbon dioxide, 8 percent oxygen, and the remaining 82 percent nitrogen and inert gases.
With an average surface temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius, it is very habitable.
The only problem was that there was no water on the surface of the planet, so after the Aesop civilization gained control of the Fire γ, they only used the planet as a resource star.
The last two planets are similar to Saturn-Jupiter in the solar system and are gaseous planets. (To be continued......)
