Chapter 477: Expansion and Mission
"At first, the results are out."
"Let me see." When I first received a message from my family to browse, the content of the message surprised it.
"Three hundred and ten light years? Did you miscalculate? The Empire doesn't have faster-than-light technology. "The Imperium's seed plan was implemented some time after the end of the Battle of Red Hell, and it was a while before that battle, but it was nowhere near as long as three hundred and ten years, that is, it was absolutely impossible for a seed traveling at sub-light speed to be so far away from three hundred and ten light years.
In this regard, the collector who made the report gave an explanation.
"At the beginning, the seed was moving at sub-light speed, and if we want to catch up with it, we must reach a sub-light speed higher than the seed speed, and such a high speed will be a great consumption of resources, and the race can't afford to spend such a huge amount of resources for a single Seren, so we simply gave up the idea of chasing, and directly calculated which star system's gravitational potential energy the seed would be captured, from the defect to the current coordinate."
"I see." At first it means understanding. The gatherer doesn't have the spirit of soil, it's one thing to promise the empire to search for seeds, it's another thing to find it, and the matter itself can't be considered a very important thing in the eyes of the gatherer, and he can't invest his blood to search for a Selene.
Besides, on such a distant scale, encountering some nebulae, meteorite fragments, or ice cubes and other obstacles can be devastating, and the seeds of the empire do not have antimatter shields like sublight-speed creatures in front of them, and even just a grain of sand can cause penetrating damage.
The real interstellar voyage is full of risks, if the protection is insufficient, then enough luck is needed to make up for this deficiency, otherwise a bad one may give his life to the interstellar voyage, the farther the voyage, the greater the risk.
From the very beginning, the chances of Selene living within the seed were very slim.
"And have you investigated the star system and the path to get there?" Although I don't believe that the seeds of the empire are still intact, the search still has to be searched, and this is also a task after all, so I asked this question at first.
The collector began to deliver observations of that star system to the beginning.
"It's all investigated, it's a big and one binary star system, the big one is a blue dwarf, the radius is twice the main star of our current star system, and the one is a yellow dwarf, one-seventieth of the radius of the blue dwarf, because the mass gap is very large, the yellow dwarf, as a companion star, revolves periodically around the blue dwarf."
"With three planets, two high-temperature gaseous states and one high-temperature solid-state, the radiation intensity of the blue dwarf is high, the distance between the planet and the blue dwarf is not far enough, and the heat is accumulated on it, because its internal energy is high enough, so we speculate that the atmospheric pressure inside it will be a more dangerous value." These are the information collected by the collectors in recent years, combined with the observations of the upper Serene Rao, and the two complement each other to minimize the error.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed at first,
"Three extreme planets? In this case, it will be more troublesome to disassemble. "If there are no moons on the planets in that star system, then the collectors will only have to get the starting resources from the Kuiper Belt when they arrive at that star system, and although there are a lot of resources there, the meteorites are scattered, but they look dense on a macroscopic scale.
If you colonize directly in the past way, I am afraid that it will be a waste of time.
"Do you want to go to that star system with a lot of resources?" Some gatherers have proposed that if you directly carry resources, then the starting resources can be expanded, and the development speed will naturally not fall behind.
However, the proposal was initially rejected, and it did not see the need to do so.
"No, there's no need to waste resources like that, we don't rush in a hurry, we will be captured by the gravitational pull of the stars anyway, and we can slowly expand the past in the way of colonizing the star system."
"Once we get to the vicinity of that star system, we use the star track to deliver supplies for astral modification and dismantling." According to the original idea, it was a gradual expansion of star by star, and in such a step-by-step way that the star system would be reached, so that time would be used efficiently, and the time consumed to search and not to search would not make much difference to the race.
"Understood, then we will give priority to expanding the colony in that direction...... the gatherers also came to their senses and agreed with the initial idea, just like the beginning, they are not in a hurry, after all, they are separated by hundreds of light years, even if they rush to that side, maybe the people are already cold, and the gatherers are not very optimistic, and the seeds are still intact, it takes too much luck.
Moreover, it is only hypothetical that if it is not captured by the gravitational pull of the star, it will fly to a farther place.
A thousand light-years, tens of thousands of light-years, it is possible, the sub-light speed is enough to get rid of the gravitational pull of the river system, as long as the time is long enough, it is not surprising that the seeds of the empire run to the next river system.
So there is no slimmer hope of surviving, only more faint.
"Uh...... I did a rough calculation, and if I added the time it took to dismantle the materials within the star system, it would take about 490 years. "Some collectors estimate the time it will take to arrive at that star system, and it takes time for development within a star system.
"It's not a long time, it's a lot of time to be so far away." The First Path. It is indeed not a long time, and it can only reach sub-light speeds, and every time you make an interstellar voyage at the level of tens or hundreds of light years, it takes dozens or hundreds of years to complete.
After the conversation between the gatherers, they began to prepare the preparation materials needed for the voyage, in fact, they didn't need to prepare too many things, just antimatter, and the targets selected by the collectors were all with sufficient planetary resources, enough for them to build antimatter megastructures and star orbits, and they didn't need to prepare too many things to sail.
Generally speaking, like the kind of stars that the collectors are aiming for, the collectors will not be the first choice for interstellar colonization, and the starting resources are too low, so they will need more time and energy to deal with the rectification of extreme environments, and if there is a star system with a better environment, the collectors will not pick such a hard bone to dredge the star orbit under the guidance of various observation data, and the star orbit extending from the star to the Kuiper Belt will be reversed to the position where the destination star will arrive in the future time period.
