26.3 The Expedition

South Yanxing Port City.

It is one of three large space transport cities built by the Federation on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. - The other two are: the Star City in Qianchuan and the Tiemeng Port on Minami Island.

It is also one of the largest megacities on the planet, with a total population of 87 million, and is the heart of modern industrial manufacturing.

Xiangli, where the Celestial Tower Academy was located before, and the Tower View City, which was only eighty kilometers away, had a population of about 100,000. There are more robots walking on the roads and hovering drones in the sky than humans, and the abandoned old railroad tracks and mines outside the city also tell the story of the shrinking of these second-tier cities.

In Nanyanxinggang City, the sky above the dense high-rise buildings is a no-fly zone for drones, and in places with a large population density, except for police and medical flight transporters, no other flying objects are allowed to occupy the sky above the city. The surrounding forests and hillsides within a range of 200 kilometers have also been planned into a hexagonal grid area with a side length of 500 meters.

The streets in the downtown area of the city are full of dense pipes and robotic arms on various platforms, which maintain the personal belongings delivery industry of every household.

Complex electronic vehicles on the streets, as well as urban workers dressed in metal-ceramic costumes, make up the bustling atmosphere here.

Contemporary pure cloth clothing has become a kind of classical clothing like the 21st century Hanfu on the earth, at this time people wear electronic mechanical clothing, embedded in the velvet cotton smart coat shell.

Men walk, eyepieces on helmets ejecting mail and online videos, mechanical boots gliding on 21st-century blind tracks.

The ladies, on the other hand, are focused on guiding a hummingbird-like camera in front of their bodies, filming while walking.

Those from the "countryside" all picked up the stars and looked curiously at this bizarre big city. Of course, the people passing by also raised their heads from their busyness to see the stars.

In the eyes of the people of this city, it is really not earthy to pick up stars. When the stars come within 100 meters of them, their portable electronic system alerts them to attention. This is similar to the middle of the 21st century on the earth, when the Internet of Things was just emerging, ordinary people drove a vehicle and encountered a super luxury car, and the smart dash cam prompted the same reason for avoidance! I can't afford to pay if I accidentally bump into it!

Jun Jiexing is a reserve commander on record in the federal archives, and after entering the city, the artificial intelligence of the public electronic system is highly attentive and does not allow him to have any accidents.

Luxury cars?! The value of winning stars is more expensive than a luxury car in a parking lot! The whole body is a highly precise Dharma lineage, and if you want to teach a lesson, only your ass can beat it.

- Therefore, when they are all picking up the stars, they are looking around, and the people around them are after the detour.

Of course, after determining a safe distance, many people lifted their personal cameras. Such a young supreme professional preparation usually trained in the federal restricted area, and now it is very rare to appear on the street.

Fifty minutes later, Jun picked up the stars and came to Bihai Mechanical Engineering College. The top 10 manufacturing universities in Nanyan City supply the highest quality manufacturing engineers for the Federation. Of course, and celestial towers are not the same concept.

They all came here because of their brother, well, their brother Polon Vitelli, who enrolled here last year.

After submitting the application in the electronic system, Jun Jiexing originally thought that it would take a day or two to receive a reply, but just two minutes later, the three-meter-tall electronic security robot at the entrance of the school raised its mechanical arm to salute, and then these mechanical sentries walked to the vicinity to defend in the mode of encirclement.

The students at the school gate couldn't help but point their fingers.

After looking at the light brain prompt with him, A was quite surprised: "Wow, it's the reserve commander." ”

B: "Okay, young, it seems to be waiting for someone?" ”

C: "Don't guess here! ”

After the young man chattered and discussed for eight minutes, he received the communication wave Wheel Vitley pushed away the crowd, and showed a bright smile after seeing Jun Xingxing, and Jun Jiexing, who has often been stunned in the past few months, now has a look in his eyes!

The friendship of teenagers, which has not yet been polluted by complex social interests, is very pure and beautiful.

Polon Vitelli proudly pulled Jun Xingxing away from the crowd, leaving a look of surprise and envy. - This envy is like the neighborhood watching a certain scholar rise to the top.

And in the midst of this kind of envious gaze, Polon Vitelli's self-esteem is quite satisfied today.

Dozens of minutes later.

At the school's observatory, well, not so much an observatory as a suspended square, with a long neck supporting column, at an altitude of four hundred meters, propped up a huge circular platform with a radius of one hundred and fifty meters.

After recounting the journey of their respective days, Wheatley gradually talked about the future.

"What? You're going to end your studies! Pollun Vitelli hadn't recovered from the Celestial Tower's record in leveling the Celestial Tower, and he was suddenly surprised to question Evenstar's next move.

Holding the railing and looking into the distance, Jun Jiexing pointed to the star on the city skyline and said, "My journey is the sea of stars." ”

Wheatley dangled his hand in front of Jun Xingxing, signaling Jun Xingxing not to get confused.

He said, "Hey, don't be stupid! How good it is to be a commander, you can enter active duty, this is the most powerful position in the Federation. If you feel that Dugu is defeated, you can go to other academies to challenge it, I heard that there are many strong people in the Holy Spear! ”

Jun Jiexing turned his head and looked at this "younger brother" who was worried about himself (Jun Jiexing's birthday was March 3, Vitley's birthday was February 2)

Pollen Vitelli didn't know that the star was not a lonely defeat, but that he had already reached the pinnacle of his own command. As for transferring to the Holy Lance Academy? It's not necessary! There will be comparisons in the course, and real-life time is precious.

His career is not as long as that of ordinary commanders, and he has already determined that his system will be completed soon, and if he stops and enjoys the short successful life after the struggle, it will become - sit back and wait for himself to fade slowly.

You have to do something meaningful for the rest of your life!

Illuminated by the golden glow of the setting sun.

Jun picked up the stars, raised his hand and pressed the door of Bolun Gartli's head, and said with a smile: "In this era, there are such capable people, and it is not my turn to fight the war." I want to go out of the planet, by the way, ten years later, you graduate, remember to come and see me. ”

Bowenvetelli inhaled, wanting to say something, but seeing Jun Juexing's warm smile, the anger finally settled in his chest and did not turn into an argument. He seemed to be jealous: "Every time you run forward, you don't think about my feelings. ”

……

When the Ice Floe Sox made up for the newly admitted students' speeches, the withdrawal process of the Celestial Tower Academy had been automatically generated. However, Jun Jiexing did not go to the Holy Spear Academy to go through the enrollment procedures, but went to the gas giant planet immigration report.

The artificial intelligence in charge of immigration, very surprised, asked Jun Xingxing three times if he wanted to give up on Sato to continue his training as a commander, and after getting Jun Xingxing to confirm it again and again, he used a laser to stamp the official seal on the paper document.

Jun Jiexing sat in the cabin of the white migrant spacecraft, waiting for the launch of the rocket system. At this time, the communication interface appeared in front of Jun Jiexing, which was Bai Jiuyang's interface.

Bai Jiuyang looked at Jun Jiexing and took a deep breath and said, "Are you on the spaceship?" ”

The Commander of the Heroic Position has just been prompted by the AI. He wasn't sure yet, but after seeing the cabins around Jun Juexing, he was sure.

Jun Xingxing raised his hand and saluted: "Commander, my application has been approved by the system, and I am now preparing to go to Magnetic Cloud Star." ”

Bai Jiuyang didn't smile on his face: "Do you think that you can make your own decisions without a guardian?" ”

All picked up stars: "Sir? Why do you say guardian, am I not independent? ”

Bai Jiuyang: "You are so independent? Did you feel that you were invincible in the world at the Celestial Tower Academy, and then the martial arts who learned the Apocalypse Calendar returned to the mountains and forests? ”

Narrator: In the previous era, a large number of martial arts sects have become the current TV drama culture, and among all the martial artists, it is very common to wash their hands and return to the rivers and lakes.

Jun Jiexing bowed his head and did not refute, nor did he admit his mistakes, such an attitude made Bai Jiuyang angry.

Bai Jiuyang: "Give you ten minutes to get off the rocket." ”

Jun Jiexing shook his head and said, "Teacher, thank you for taking care of you this year." But I can't follow the route you've planned, and if I stay here, I'll never have a chance to overtake you. I don't want to be another AI on your side. ”

Bai Jiuyang suddenly fell silent when he heard this, and after looking at Jun Xingxing again, Bai Jiuyang thought for a long, long time. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Did the thought container have an effect on your personality?" ”

Jun Juexing nodded: "Yes, the acceleration of the thinking container allows me to learn things quickly, but it also allows me to form inertial thinking quickly." I had to go out and see if I had the ability to overturn my own preconceived experience. ”

Bai Jiuyang was silent for a while: "Five years later, come back to see me." ”

……

The rocket sent Junjie into space, and in the huge space there were only twenty-three passengers.

The development of human technology until now has not solved the problem of space hibernation. In fact, this also involves a question of human morality. Humans have been able to hibernate multiple species, and theoretically could greatly extend human dormancy.

However, human beings are naturally not suitable for this kind of hibernation because they have not evolved hibernation skills at all. This kind of incompatibility makes it impossible for human beings to completely solve the side effects of hibernation, no matter how much technology advances.

Side effects of hibernation include impaired memory and partial damage to the nervous system.

In fact, the essence of life is a material system that dynamically maintains balance.

The reason why viruses are called half-lives is because viruses are static outside the living body, and only in living bodies can viruses dynamically maintain balance.

The more complex the life, the more complex the dynamic system, and the more difficult it is to stop life without side effects and with low side effects.

Humans are precisely the most complex life on the planet, and the human brain is the most complex organ in the carbon-based biosphere. Human beings themselves have not evolved hibernation physiology, and they can hibernate with external technology, which is the same as eating junk food for 20 years and not dying, but it will definitely be sub-healthy for a while. And most ordinary people who don't have the Dharma lineage hibernate once are nothing, and their bodies are listless at most.

However, the more complex the existence of the lineage, the more serious the consequences of hibernation.

The three high-level professions, but they use the body fixing technique every day to maintain dynamics and coordinate the balance of the body. And a long hibernation is devastating to maintain the balance of the body.

Therefore, the operation of spaceships for high-level professionals is to ensure that travelers can travel without physical damage at all. So the support facilities of the spacecraft are very large.

But if you use a 'damaging' hibernation chamber against ordinary people. The first is that there is inequality without being few, and the second is that it violates human rights in legal theory.

[This concept of equal human rights is precisely the concept that was put forward as a blazing white in the last generation of the stars. It is enshrined as politically correct in the cosmic calendar. 】

Jurisprudence is the guarantee of trust between people, and if jurisprudence is not stable, the organizational power of human society will be shaken like a sand tower.

At present, the upper strata of society support civilization, and the greatest role of legal stability is to ensure the stability of these organizations, while the lower strata are only incidentally taken care of by legal principles. Human society still does not dare to defy the condemnation of the world and completely separate the upper and lower strata in legal theory. It has become a human rights jurisprudence at the upper level and another human rights jurisprudence at the lower level. After all, in the war system of commanders, there is still a weak flow from the lower level to the upper level.

In the case of limited productivity, in order not to violate the legal principle, the federal government directly raised the threshold for space travel, and ordinary people do not play much role in space development anyway. Artificial intelligence can assist elite humans in planning the development of the planet.

Now in the spaceship, Jun Xingxing occupies a space capsule alone, and in this capsule there is a sleep compartment for gravity simulation, a water vapor shower compartment, and a sports compartment. There is also the library, on this large transport ship of one and a half million tons. It is to serve twenty-three people, including those who have won the stars.

There are no rich people in the cosmic calendar, only differences in authority.

The monthly consumption coins distributed by the stars are similar to those of ordinary people. But Jun Picks now rents a swimming room on this spaceship and orders food from an AI chef for the same price as on the planet's surface. But only those who are qualified to board this ship can spend money here.

Not only the training of the spaceship war base, but also the deep-sea base is open to a small number of people with authority. The consumption coins consumed by high-authority people are not prominent, but due to the activities they participate in, the particularity of the places they go to, and the social resources consumed are incomparable.

The vast majority of ordinary people do not have the authority, so they can only maintain low-energy consumption in their own families and jobs. - So the world is equal in terms of consumer currency numbers,

Yes, just as in the 21st century, the high financial investment income of the people of some capitalist countries can make the income of the entire national grassroots look very high. But in fact, these low-level citizens are addicted to finance and various service industries, but they do not consume more real resources.

.......

Inside a premium transport ship.

Maintain the Fixation Technique in the Exercise Chamber, and begin to learn about the Magnetocloud Star.

Magnetostar is the largest of the eleven planets in the star system, and has a two-thirds mass moon of Saturn, on which it is determined to contain biological warfare weapons from the Star of God.

The Federation has used nuclear weapons several times to destroy and scrub the ground. But the ecology on this planet is too stable. After each nuclear weapon wash, at most some powerful individuals will be destroyed, and then the ecological niche will be immediately replenished, and those lower individuals will quickly advance to the higher level after inheriting the territory.

According to the classification of the Water Star, the high-energy beasts are divided into levels one to nine, as well as the upper, middle, and lower in the Sanctuary. Among them, Sanctuary beings are able to break away from the edge of the atmosphere and run rampant in the universe. The reason why the Water Star has not been defeated for so many years is because the heroes of the Water Star have signed a contract with these Sanctuary Existences.

The ecosystem on that moon of the Magnet Cloud Planet can host a total of sixty to eighty Sanctuary War Beasts. In the face of these Sanctuary Beasts, the Federation's attitude is that once these Sanctuary Beasts leave the atmosphere, they will be directly annihilated. For nearly three hundred years, the Heavenly Knights have been tasked with killing this kind of sanctuary in the universe. And the cruising mission of the controllers is also focused on the magnetocloud planet, forming a long-term blockade inspection line. Every thirty-seven years, when the magnetocloud planet and Aqua orbit are nearest, Sanctuary beasts take off from the planet's surface in an attempt to reach Aqua. But the result is that only one in twentieth will be able to reach it.

This twentieth is still strong enough to be fried into minced meat and still remain alive. After landing on the Water Star, the vitality was reorganized, and it took a long time to recover its strength on the Water Star, of course, even if it was on the Water Star, it was still beaten by the drone fighter group.

As for why he didn't send the commander to the holy beast's lair and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, it was because it couldn't be defeated at all. The tips of the minions of those high-energy creatures on this planet can burst out of ionic matter of three thousand degrees, enough to tear through steel.

The technological manufacturing system in the carbon-based biosphere environment, most of the steel weapons produced in a short period of time, cannot have an advantage over these seventh-level monsters. Therefore, the commander is also unable to deploy a military system on the planet.

There are three moons in the entire star system with these high-energy life, and the other two are on the second gaseous giant planet, the Ring.

[However, human beings can't control these high-energy moons, but they control the planets of high-energy satellites.] To be precise, the surface of the magnetocloud planet was mastered. 】

The supreme elite of mankind are the three supreme professions, but the upper echelons of mankind are not just the three supreme professions. For example, half of the people in the Celestial Tower assessment were brushed down, and these people who were brushed down were not abandoned by the Federation. They remain an important force in the Federation.

Even a single high-ranking profession a thousand years ago is a valuable talent in the Federation.

There are now 200,000 people on the magnetocloud star, and these people are all human beings who have domains (fortresses), information points (generals), or human beings who have the function of regulating complex lineage systems (authority). They are the basis on which the Federation maintains its space power.

Of course, there is also competition in the Magnetocloud Star, but compared with other planets, the intensity of this competition is not high, and there is no need for a commander, and the population of the Federation on the Magnetocloud Star can completely suppress this planet.

As for the object of repression, it is a vast ecosystem of magnetos.

In the outer atmosphere of a magnetocloud star, metal minerals are very rare. The main component of magnetocloud is hydrogen. Under great pressure, there is a metallic hydrogen layer inside, so the magnetic field is eleven times that of the main star of the Federation, Saturn, so it is called a magnetocloud star.

Human beings have mastered the intelligent nano vein system, which can maintain efficient and small nuclear reactions under high pressure, so it can expand quickly under the planet, like the roots of plants to the entire magnetocloud planet, and continuously absorb the minerals on the rock core inside the magnetocloud planet to the surface of the liquid hydrogen ocean, and build a human production system in the clouds of the magnetocloud planet.

Humans today can use this technology, and there is no reason why humans 22,000 years ago should not use it. The mining system of 22,000 years ago has survived on the main planet of the Federation, but not on the magnetocloud planet.

The reason is simple, there are very peculiar kinds of life in the interior of this planet, and human devices are nutrients for life on this planet.

Let's take a closer look at the ecology of the planet.

Due to the huge mass of the magnetocloud star, the interior is actually undergoing very slow nuclear fusion, and these nuclear fusion energies will induce earthquakes, and the metal hydrogen layer inside will periodically collapse part of this energy release, and part of this collapse will be sent up in the rise of the magnetocloud heat flow, and the metallic hydrogen will become liquid hydrogen is releasing energy, which provides energy for the internal ecosystem. The metallic hydrogen that life in the magnetosphere depends on is like the organic food on which carbon-based life depends.

Of course, it is not enough to have energy alone, every time the crust of the magnetocloud planet moves, not only metal hydrogen fragments emerge from the metal hydrogen shell, but also various silicon, carbon, water, liquid ammonia and other substances, which constitute the basic structure of life on the magnetocloud planet.

When human mining nanobots mined a large amount of heavy metal minerals in the interior of the magnetocloud planet, they created the eutrophication of the liquid hydrogen layer. So part of the life dies, and part of the life flourishes wildly. And this disrupts the ecological balance inside the magnetocloud star.

The biosphere of the magnetosphere is different from the situation of the four rocky planets of water, fire, wind and earth, where the life of the four rocky planets evolves into groups, and then groups give birth to higher intelligent individuals.

Magnetosphere stars directly evolved into highly intelligent groups, that is, species consciousness, because the rock crust of the rocky planet is insulated, and the outermost layer of the metallic hydrogen shell of the magnetocloud star is superconducting. It is a good medium for information, electrical energy conduction.

Because electrical information and electrical energy can be transmitted from this metal hydrogen layer around the world without loss.

Therefore, the species clusters on the planet do not follow the path of life of the carbon-based biosphere intelligent community, but the path of planetary consciousness. In layman's terms, although the species of the whole planet have different thinking, they are ultimately linked to the same consciousness!

This is also the case inside the ring of another large planet. In the early days of the cosmic calendar, it took decades for the Federation to understand why the underlying logic of the other side was different from its own.

First: the mining of the Federation humans has damaged the balance inside the magnetocloud star.

Second: The planetary consciousness of the Magnetocloud Star has long been conquered by the Star of God, and the huge planetary ideology is even the incarnation of a certain god on the Star of God. 22,000 years ago, this planetary consciousness was not on the side of humans.

Third: Strategically, humanity must also gain a foothold on the magnetocloud planet and continue to block the holy beasts on the high-energy moons.

These contradictions have created the planetary consciousness of the Human Federation and the magnetocloud planet that must go to war, and this war has continued tepidly because there is no war damage and it can be self-sufficient on the magnetocloud planet, so that the Federation people have no feeling now.

In the 300th year of the cosmic calendar, when the three major planets of water, wind, and fire were conquered, mankind still failed to solve the internal ecosystem of the gaseous asteroids, but after the three asteroids rebelled, the Federation's superiority on the surface of the two asteroids was not affected.

This is actually slow erosion.

Generations of elites of the Human Federation have maintained the network of ore veins derived from the core of the planet, and at the same time did not hesitate to cut off the information network on the metal hydrogen, cutting the planetary consciousness into eight or nine parts. Three of them have become very weak under human attack and have begun to seek compromise on a number of matters.

Inside the spaceship, Jun Xingxing looked out of the thick glass window, the gas planet, and said silently: "Who is right and who is wrong?" We are a cluster of intelligent species, they are a group of intelligent species, and the thinking concepts of the two sides are too different. ”
