Chapter 492: Lightyear Communication (Part I)

"Attention everyone! Start slowing down! "At the beginning of their interstellar voyage again, they went to their destination star, and after receiving the feedback signal from the destination star, they opened the airtight valve in their body and sprayed hydrogen gas mass on the antimatter shield in front of them, causing it to undergo an annihilation reaction, releasing a large amount of gamma rays to slow it down.

Time and space change from distortion to normal, and the star rainbow phenomenon disappears, and the stars return to their correct positions.

After arriving at the outermost Kuiper Belt of the destination star, some collectors impatiently turned on their bioradar and observed the star system that was about to be occupied by them.

"A monolithic star system, the main sequence star is a yellow dwarf, but the mass is biased, the number of internal planets is five, and in addition to the Kuiper belt, there are two planetary belts orbiting the star."

"Confirmed, just like the remote observation." The individual observer broadcasts the information it observes to all members, and not only does it behave in this way, but there are also several gatherers in the group who do the same.

This is to avoid observation errors, the farther the distance, the greater the observation error, and increasing the number of observers is an excellent way to reduce the error.

So far, the collectors have traveled a total of more than 60 light-years to calculate the distance from the stellar system for which the pressure giant was designed.

"Alas, it's another mediocre star system, so why can't there be some new discoveries? For example, the habitable planet with a complex ecosystem that was discovered before. "There are gatherers in the group who complain because of the stimulus of the habitable planet ahead, which has sparked the enthusiasm of some gatherers to find other civilizations.

Finding a new civilization would be a great help to the race, and the race would usher in a new revolution - all the gatherers agreed that this was the case, even if it was a newborn individual, because the Seren civilization had made the whole race progress beyond imagination, so they thought so.

Without the Seren civilization, it would be difficult for them to delve into mathematics and physics, and at most they would only be able to reach the shallow level, and the limit of the development and growth of the race would have stopped at the two fields of chemistry and organic biology...... Although we have the ability to do this, we can't imagine that such a concept would not exist from the beginning.

Therefore, the discovery of a new civilization also means the discovery of a new field of knowledge, which has become a subconscious idea of the gatherers, and the new field of knowledge of course means a new round of technological explosion of the race.

This is a great thing, and of course the gatherers are very eager for it.

"Don't ask too much, that kind of planet is very rare, if it's everywhere, then we don't need to leave that planet specifically for the sake of ethnic research."

"Having said that, even if the standards are lowered, we have never encountered a planet with life, and I originally thought that even if we could not find a habitable planet with a complex ecosystem for a while, it should be very simple to find some algae, fungi, and single-celled organisms." During the voyage of more than 60 light years, the collectors experienced two star systems, one is a three-star system, and the other is a four-star system, which are very stable, and the distance between each other is more than 20 light years.

It's nothing more than planets, stars, planets, interstellar dust, and so on.

"If life were everywhere, the universe would not be as dead and silent as it is now."

"Huh? Dead silence ...... "Unintentionally, listening intentionally, the message replied by the same clan made the individual gatherer who was still complaining ponder.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that there has been no reply for a long time, the same clan who is communicating with this collector has returned information, and the collector also asks the same clan for verification.

"You just now, the universe is dead, right?"

"That's right, if it's not dead, we can easily discover new civilizations, as long as these civilizations are technologically advanced enough to break away from the gravitational pull of the planets, it is not difficult to achieve communication on the scale of several light years." A fellow who thought that the gatherer was distressed by thinking about the reason why the cosmic environment was judged to be 'dead and silent' in his previous discourse explained his own reasons.

The collectors were puzzled, because the standard given by the same family is too low, and it is not so simple to communicate at the scale of light years, taking the feedback information required for sub-light speed travel, it takes an entire planet to achieve the feedback signal across several light years.

Nowadays, such feedback signals are transferred from planets to star orbits, and the stars are used to provide energy, so that the feedback signals can travel more than 20 light-years without attenuation.

The technical difficulty in this is naturally not necessary, but it is not as simple as 'just being able to break away from the gravitational pull of the planet'.

"How? Is it enough to reach the point of detachment from the planet's gravity? No other strings attached? The gatherer was incredible, and although it knew that its kind had no reason to be foolish to it, it could not imagine what it could do to communicate information with a line of sight light years away from the planet's gravity.

Upon hearing the gatherer's inquiry, the clan did not hesitate to inform the gatherer of his thoughts.

"That's right, that's just enough, using the visible spectrum of stars to communicate, it's very simple and direct, except for the disadvantage of the speed of light delay, there are basically no disadvantages, even the observer is saved, and the information across the light year can be obtained with the naked eye of the Seren." The transmission of Morse code through the change of stellar brightness can also realize ultra-long-distance communication across light years, which is not very difficult, and the difficulty is mainly in how to shade the stellar light so that the brightness of the star changes significantly.

But when the gatherer thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he immediately retorted to his kind.

"No, I know that we need enough orbiting satellites to block the stellar light, and we need to dismantle at least one entire planet before we can proofread" The reason why the collectors are like this is because they do this, and the original star originally broadcast information, relying on this method, combined with the polarized spacecraft of the Serens, and some polarized organisms that Hogu later added, so as to realize the construction of Dyson Cloud.

Relying on this Dyson cloud, changing the brightness of the star, it also realizes broadcast communication at the level of light years. However, this idea of the gatherers was quickly rejected by their kind.

"No, no, no, it doesn't have to be that way."
