The year 201 of the Double Star Era.

The sixteenth Space Engineering Fortress has begun its way towards the asteroid region.

In the central equilibrium gravitational field between the binary stars, a superparticle generator is being built, ready to simulate the reaction of a neutron star impact, industrially creating a heavy nuclear element, a universal block of energy.

And on Fangxing, a new batch of space immigrants are heading towards outer space with great interest.

In the era of rapid development, due to various commonly used technologies and even changes in the living environment, almost every generation of culture has changed, and now the culture of more than 20 years is like a sunset red film.

The whole world has become accustomed to the rapid push of the advent crowd on the world. and the pursuit of intellectual progress.

However, it's just habit, understanding, appreciation. Most people feel like they can't do what they have been doing for decades.

……

In the spaceship Lu Xiang, Nan Xuefeng, who has completed regeneration, walks out.

He stood up upright from his bed, and the electronic system sent the mail. During the months of his regeneration, the work projects that had been part of him were not stalled in any way.

Seeing that everything was still the same, Nan Xuefeng took a deep breath and began to prepare the next work plan.

Half an hour later. Inside the magnificent space city, on a footbridge that resembles an elephant's capillaries.

When passing through the aisle, Nan Xuefeng saw the sun in the distance through the aisle window, and couldn't help but stop and say hello to this acquaintance.

Nan Xuefeng: "Are you looking at the sun again?" ”

Zeus: "yes, look over there. Zeus tapped his finger to the sun.

At this time, a circle of mirror-like rings appeared on the edge of the sun.

Nan Xuefeng turned out his electronic illustrated book, and the intelligent assistant introduced this mirror ring on the edge of the sun.

[This giant mirror is composed of a large number of iron nanomachines.] Saturn-like natural rings]

This man-made specular ring acts as a magnetic confinement on the surface of the Sun, flattening the corona. Of course, due to the strong solar wind, this group of iron nanoparticles will also be lost every day due to evaporation, so there are spaceships in the ring that specialize in collecting iron elements to recreate nanoparticles. 】

Since this mirror is a longitudinal section through the north and south poles of the sun, every three years, the planet turns to the front and sees the sun several times more brilliant than in its natural state.

Nan Xuefeng nodded and muttered, "It is indeed a magnificent scene. He knew that the ultimate goal of attacking this group of people was to use this sun as a starting point to attack the blue giant, so it was not difficult to guess the development.

He looked at the outer reaches of the solar system, and at this time the attention of governments was focused on the development of planets, and it seemed that they were gradually losing interest in keeping up with the super construction on the sun, and were limited to understanding and the purpose of being able to take over in the future.

Thinking of this,

Nan Xuefeng asked Zeus, "Strike, the future of the Star Civilization should be very different from what we imagine now. ”

Zeusa smiled and replied, "That depends on what angle you stand on and imagine!" ”

Nan Xuefeng shook his head helplessly after looking at Zhou Strike for a few seconds: "I may not imagine it, but I'm a little worried." ”

Zeusa nodded, signaling that he could listen.

Nan Xuefeng opened a model of a humanoid pet and said slowly: "When the brains of animals are connected to the complex logic chips of humans, they are still not human, because the desire for demand is still in the most primitive desire for satiety and reproduction. Chips can help them think to understand human commands, but they can't help their brains evolve more complex needs. ”

At this time, Nan Xuefeng stared at the sky and said, "After our civilization has obtained higher technology, will it be the same?" It seems to improve civilization, but it doesn't! ”

……

The reason why humans are superior to animals is because they have higher needs for satiety and reproduction. These demands will spur humans to chase the complex algorithms of mathematics, to build lavish palaces that are not only sheltered from the elements, but also to compose music after they have eaten and drunk. These brains can build tools and technology systems from scratch to the point that animals can't understand.

And a few decades ago, in the era of super-prosperity, what was the desire of human beings?

Multiple members of the opposite sex surround their stallion desires? In and out of the upper class, the desire for material and money possession - this thing, the dog in the family knows how to protect food and hide toys.

And yet human beings play with these simple desires, and then complacently consider them to be a symbol of prosperity compared to the past civilizations?

In contrast to humanoid pets, even if the animal's brain has complex computing power, the brain does not generate the motivation to create complexity. I don't even understand the motivation of human beings to paint and write music.

And now, Nan Xuefeng is staring at the sky.

The so-called people sent down by the star civilization in front of them have the same carbon-based body as human beings, but in the current process of chasing stars and taking the moon industry, they are almost selfless dedication, what kind of motivation is it?!

At this time, a fat bird flew over the corridor, looking at Nan Xuefeng's wide-eyed appearance curiously.

……

Zeus's expression was very flat, and after taking a deep breath, he said slowly: "If you want to understand me, you don't need to look at me here, you should substitute two hundred years ago." ”

Two hundred years ago, the Regeneration Society had fought in the vast ocean plate.

In these war histories, some strong wills flashed everywhere on the battlefield, and there were cases where the total casualty rate was 200 percent, that is, it was rebuilt twice after being dispersed, and on such a high casualty front, none of the newly recruited soldiers retreated, and the fighting style of fighting to the end and dying with the enemy almost became a conventional tactic.

Note that this is not the end of the mecha being brain-pumping to destroy, but the complex situations on the battlefield, such as a defensive fortress that dodges artillery attacks, and requires manned dragon guards to cross the line of fire and complete the smoke jamming. Or when you encounter a trench on the battlefield that you haven't detected, you desperately send out a message. Suicide attacks by mechanical puppets are often one-off, and this desperate cover is to constantly give hope to the cluster.

Flipping through these materials, a trace of sadness appeared on his face. Everything back then is still fresh in my memory, and things here are not people.

Zhou patted Nan Xuefeng on the shoulder and said, "If, one day, you understand them, you will also understand all of this now. ”

Nan Xuefeng paused.

Seeing that his tone was too subtle, he still didn't want to understand, so he sighed and nodded further: "What do you think is behind the strong star civilization now?" ”

Speaking of which, Zeu Strike left, leaving Nan Xuefeng, who was still a little ignorant.

……

In the year 210 of the Double Star Era, well, in fact, 200 years after the Double Star Era, the new generation of young people of Fang Star and White Star has a new name for this era: the era of raising stars.

At this time, the number of people living in outer space had reached 8.94 million. Now it is increasing at a rate of 10 percent per year, and national integration in space has become a reality. Comparatively speaking, the countries of the star catalog are becoming weaker and weaker in economic and political discourse. Just like the landlord class in the era of capitalist economy, although it still has a certain local prestige, it has completely backward economically.

One million tons of steel per capita in space, 600 tons of standard coal per capita per day, even if it is a factory that 'picks up rags' in the sky to collect asteroid wreckage and then "sets up a stall" to unfold dozens of hectares of aluminum foil to collect solar energy, it can also crush the factory of the star catalog.

The Burning Wheel, the White Bolt, and the government agencies of the Regeneration Society have been completely transferred to space, and have seized the outer periphery of the Great Planet for early seizure.

The Iron Dragon Coalition and the Soul Fire, as well as those old forces of the Eight-Petal Flower Federation era, have declined incomparably in this era, and the right to speak has all been lost. In the reign of the star table is the famous slums, the cyber society of the fully automatic intelligent technology that monitors the common people, which cannot be saved, and the compulsory education system fails. The body is not well adjusted, and it is impossible to go into space and carry out production work.

In a way, the re-arrival of the space tour has brought misfortune to half of the planet's population. Of course, all of this, Zhou You naturally made arrangements after preparing for his departure.

……

October 10, 10th year of the Rising Star Era.

The halo reappeared, this time not above the capitals on the surface of the white and fragrant stars, but in the orbits of the planets where the prototypes of the various space regimes were located.

After a lapse of 70 years, this dialogue appeared in the space square dozens of kilometers wide, and people dressed in space mecha arrived at the scene. This is in stark contrast to the scene of leather shoes and cameras flickering back then.

And Hongna's grandson drove a black mecha and pushed a camera system the size of a car to record all this over the square. He worked very energetically, and he wanted to send the content of today's shooting to his grandmother on the couch to read.

When the correspondents from the various departments in the square arrived, the conversation began, and this time it was more like a summary of work tasks and plans for the future than the last time, which was similar to the mode of press conference.

……

Huge star projections appear in the square, and man-made objects revolve around it, which makes one can't help but feel a sense of greatness.

The first stage of satellite control is to maintain industrial manufacturing capacity in space.

This stage has been completed, and in the area of the inner ring of the sun, sixty large engineering fortresses have been accommodated, already with the ability to sift through matter from the surface of the sun.

The second stage of star control, which is currently being done, is to form artificial rings of matter around the planets, and then build a huge material cover that can envelop the planets, in order to more accurately map the influence of the gravitational pull of the planets by the gravitational forces of the stars dozens of light-years away. On the other hand, in the future the planet is protected from stellar explosions.

The last stage is to manipulate the stellar helium flash, turning a large amount of gold, silver, copper, iron, carbon, oxysilicon and other substances made inside the star into a mass stream and ejecting it at sub-light speed on a large scale, forming a stream of information particles attacking another star.

At that time, it was time for Zeyo to leave.

The sun is like a sunflower, the huge corona is flattened, aimed at the direction of the star Cygnus 4, of course, from the side, this slightly arcanated line, like a sharp mang emitted by a 'magic bow' that shocks the universe, will be straight into the super blue giant 87 light years away.

And when the solar core starts to complete the helium flash, the periphery of each planet is man-made and flashes with a powerful magnetic field, and when the endless light bursts, the magnetic shield of each planet will be opened to the limit, protecting civilization, protecting life, and protecting the planet!

……

And here are the technical details.

The first two phases were fine, but in the third phase, some technical details caused anxiety on all sides.

On the fourth hour of the meeting,

The 844th stereoscopic map was opened: "In the polar helium flash stage, we will build 40 billion high-energy computers in the chromospheric layer that adapt to the degenerate state of the stellar environment." ”

[Principle: You can use the nuclear elements to change under the high-energy particles of the star, and the state before and after the impact is different, and the binary processing can be designed. 】

Finally, someone couldn't help it: "This technology is impossible to apply." "This man's name is North Speed.

Pointing to a region of thousands of degrees of heat on the surface of the star, humans must steer the spacecraft through the chromosphere and complete the task within seconds of the ship's collapse.

At this time, sitting in the cockpit, he tapped the screen with a pen and said excitedly: "This is a human life" - it is true, it takes forty seconds to travel to the surface of the star, and it takes thirteen seconds to complete the work, which is death if you are not careful.

With the first person questioning, then there is the second, and the third, apparently a total rejection of this radical technology.

[When the people of this age finally couldn't help but say that the present could not do it, many of the silent people present suddenly realized what was the difference between this civilization and the stars.] ]

……

But a few minutes later, wait for the venue to be quiet.

Zeyo calmly gave the answer: "All this is done by our people." The relevant technical data will be forwarded to you. "It's like saying to my wife, 'I'll wash the dishes tonight' so lightly.

At this time, the scene is very quiet.

Nan Xuefeng asked a little dryly: "Does the star civilization have to pay such a price for controlling the stars?" All the people in the room couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen.

Zhou You, who was in the light prism, slowly shook his head: "It's not necessary, if you control the stars normally, you can spend thousands of years slowly adjusting the frequency of the stars." At least after I'm gone, you can choose this path. ”

Nan Xuefeng couldn't help but ask more: "Then why, do you want to choose this path?" His tone trembled, he knew the answer when he asked the question, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

And these people at the scene are so smart that they understand the answer, but now it is a little difficult to speak.

They spent 80 years together as the elite of civilization and the division of the universe, and they are quite confidant in terms of human thoughts and concepts. But it's more or less unbearable to see a friend stepping into danger with a mission on his back.

Zhou You slowly replied: "The reason why I came here is because of the war!" ”

……

War time is the most precious, and if you can be faster, you can win more hope for victory. This is the reason why the path of star control is so radical in the eyes of the Fangxing civilization.

Because the universe is in the war, the star people are not.

Strategic will for the justice of the development of intelligent life, tactics in the service of strategic will, in order to reduce group casualties, some individuals must obey the will order, so in the face of difficulties at all costs, ambition is the norm.

Initial technology is not dominant, but the attitude towards technology and the attitude towards war will determine the outcome of the outcome. Because even the simplest technology doesn't necessarily have the guts to try it all!

Aiming at the Yichang civilization, the continent is relying on the nature of the dragon's heart, Chenhe, and the bells that have not been developed in the past. ——For men, it should be 'to be 'strong, to be yang'.

After the three major civilizations have developed to the present stage, they have failed to trace back to the source and falsify the defects that existed at the beginning of the formation of their own social ideas.

And the Celestial Tour has already come to the path of purity.

This is pure: to abandon all luck, to let go of all timidity, and to move forward for the axioms of life and wisdom.
