Chapter 0131 - Life Drifting in the Starry Sky
One hundred and sixty light-years away from the Milky Way, a huge starship floats in the starry sky.
The starship is ten times the size of Earth, and although it is nothing in the vastness of the universe, it carries all the hopes of the Twilight tribe.
The Twishi, an exiled race in the universe.
The body shape is similar to that of a human, but the appearance is very different from that of a human. They have large heads, shrunken limbs, and are generally parasitic in biological armor, and are extremely technologically advanced.
Before the catastrophe, the Twilight tribe built a huge starship and the entire race migrated to the interstellar space.
Because of the vast distance of space, time in the universe is often counted in tens of years and hundred years.
Don't look at the trillions of planets in the universe, but there are really not many planets that are really suitable for carbon-based life, and it is difficult to find them scattered in the vast universe. Therefore, after thousands of years have passed, due to the lack of resources of starships and the wars of powerful cosmic civilizations encountered on the way, the tens of billions of people of the Somushi tribe have gradually withered.
At present, the remaining 10,000,000 lucky people of the entire Somushi clan are still insisting on operating and maintaining the spaceship, and the rest of the clan have all fallen into a permanent sleep.
If there are no accidents, they will miss the Milky Way and travel to other galaxies, without any contact with the humans on Earth.
Maybe tens of thousands of years later, maybe tens of millions of years, the entire Twilight Race will fall into a permanent slumber, and then the entire race will die in a certain star disaster, and then there will be no trace of the Twilight Race in the entire universe.
But on this day, the day Yi Yang took Huang Xin back to Zhucheng, they suddenly received an electronic signal from a strange planet.
Because of the existence of various rays in the universe and the strong gravitational pull of the galactic center, generally speaking, it is impossible for an electronic signal from the Earth to travel thousands of light-years out of the Milky Way, nor can it break through the limitations of space to reach the galaxy in a short time, that is, this signal is absolutely impossible to be received by the Twilight Starship.
But it was so sudden, it came unexpectedly.
The intelligence agents in charge of monitoring external signals inexplicably received electronic signals from Earth.
Although I don't know what this strange electronic signal is trying to express, I can be sure that this strange electronic signal is definitely sent by some kind of life civilization.
Rumble......
Tens of millions of Somushi survivors erupted in cheers when they heard the news.
Everyone understands what this news represents!
For the Somuhi tribe, which is almost exhausted, and for the Somushi civilization, which is on the verge of extinction, this electronic signal that can determine the origin means that there is at least one planet suitable for life behind it.
More importantly, through the analysis of this electronic signal, the technical experts of the Somushi can be sure that the technical level of sending this signal is very low, and it has not yet left the native planet, and is still in the initial stage of civilization.
According to the general law of the development process of interstellar civilization, even taking into account the passage of time after the signal is sent to the spaceship, the civilization may only touch the threshold of interstellar civilization.
Although I don't understand how such a low-end level of technology and primitive electronic signals travel through the universe and how to break through the gravitational pull of the galaxy to get here, since it has been received by our own side, there is no need to think too much about it, and it is imperative to find this planet as soon as possible.
There was no dispute, and the Somuhi ruler soon made the decision to abandon the original course and head to the galaxy from which the signal came.
The huge spaceship turned around, opened the thrusters, and the originally cherished energy storage warehouse was all opened, and the huge energy conversion device was also running at full capacity, and there was no need to care about any loss and any reserves!
It's a big gamble!
The bet is that the destination planet is a planet suitable for the Somushi to live on! The bet is that the original civilization is far below the technological development level of the Somuhi and can be easily defeated.
Anyway, if you are wandering in the universe so aimlessly, in the end, it will be the end of the death of the clan, it is better to take out all the energy and material reserves to gamble, and if you succeed, you will continue to survive and develop, and if you fail, you will not be able to enter the perish early.
On this day, Nima is running at full capacity, the energy converter is running at full capacity, and the energy thruster is carrying at full capacity, and it is full of energy storage for the space jumper.
Generally speaking, the division of interstellar civilization by the Somuhi tribe is based on one criterion, the distance of interstellar space that the civilization can effectively travel from the native planet for a short time, and this standard can clarify the effective control field of the civilization's interstellar space, which fully indicates the technological level of the civilization.
In the vastness of the universe, the distance between two viable or exploitable planets is often measured in light years. Like the Somushi civilization, they have mastered the interstellar space transition technology, and to a certain extent, the Somuhi people have been freed from the constraints of space distance and long time on life span, and can travel in the universe.
Of course, this is only a theoretical assumption. The rigidity of the hull, the energy reserve for the transition, the regeneration, and the interstellar coordinate problems all limit the distance of the Somuhi interstellar jump to the maximum.
Just as they have been wandering aimlessly in the starry sky for thousands of years after they moved and fled from their homeland, after being far away from the familiar star field, without interstellar coordinates, they had no way to make continuous interstellar jumps, so they could only try their luck and start to get lost.
Soon, under the operation of all the Somuhi crew members of the spacecraft in high spirits and with all their might, the space jumper was stored and the first interstellar jump was launched.
The speed of the spaceship increased suddenly, and under the exaggerated acceleration that the earthlings could not understand, the entire spacecraft flew forward for an ultra-long distance, and then the hull of the ship blurred and suddenly disappeared in the starry sky.
By the time the spacecraft reappeared, they had already crossed a distance of 300 light-years and were located within the Milky Way.
300 light years!
The limit of an interstellar leap for the Somuhi.
The radius of the Milky Way is 50,000 light-years, the Earth is more than 26,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way, and the Somuhi spacecraft is still at the edge of the Milky Way, and it is still more than 23,000 light-years away from the solar system where the Earth is located.
According to their spatial transition technology, seventy-seven more jumps are needed.
This is undoubtedly a difficult test for the ship's hull. Space jumps not only require a huge amount of energy, but also whether the hull can withstand the pressure impact during space jumps is also an important aspect.
Every jump, in fact, has damage to the hull.
This is also an important factor restricting the further development of the Somushi civilization.
On the other hand, the stored energy of the spaceship's energy reserve warehouse can only support twenty interstellar jumps, which is not enough to support the spacecraft's continuous jumps to the solar system.
These two restrictions mean that the Somushi people must rest halfway, and it is impossible to reach the earth overnight.
