A year later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Interstellar Exploration Alliance's Pacific Base Core Area Launch Platform.

A miniature space telescope powered by a laser sail loaded with the crystallization of human ingenuity and components of super alien technology is about to be launched into Earth's outer space.

"Ten minutes to prepare."

"Five minutes to prepare."

"One minute to prepare."

"Launch!!"

In the deep blue sky, the tail of the powerful launch vehicle is continuously spraying dazzling firelight, and it is breaking through the clouds and fog and going straight into the sky.

"Following the Voyager series of probes, there is finally a new Earth civilization probe that is about to fly out of the solar system."

Yuan Haochen was standing on the observation platform of the base command center, holding his head high, looking at the sky from afar, his face was full of ambition, and his heart was already full of emotion......

"And this time, we're flying at the speed of light to another star system outside the solar system."

Unlike the elation and jubilation of others, Yuan Haochen at this time always remained silent, with a serious expression, full attention, and holding his breath.

Finally, the rocket gradually turned into a small point of light in the sky, pierced through the atmosphere, and disappeared from Yuan Chen's field of vision......

A powerful laser emitter in the kinetic system of a human black hole was launched into space a month ago and installed on the Space Station of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance.

It won't be long before a laser-sail-driven miniature space telescope enters its intended launch orbit.

It is expected that after hours of testing and debugging, it will carry the dream of human beings to explore other cosmic civilizations!!

If this operation can be successful.

Then, within a decade, a miniature space telescope driven by a laser sail could send back videos and photos from the Alpha Centauri galaxy.

Scientists on Earth will be able to see directly what is true inside the Alpha Centauri system, which is absolutely unprecedented!

As is customary, because Hara is the leader of this project. Therefore, this laser sail-driven miniature space telescope will be named by Yuan Chen.

This time, Yuan Haochen did not name it after himself, but gave it a very simple name - the pupil of the earth.

Different from the nano detectors launched by Stephen Hawking's "Breakthrough Star" program, the laser sail-driven miniature space telescope launched by the extraterrestrial civilization project team is very different in terms of technology content and appearance.

The volume of the Earth Pupil is much larger, about the size of a football, because most of the main structures are built directly using alien technology materials in the [Source of Creation] dome space, so its strength is very large, but the quality is not high.

The Pupil of the Earth integrates the world's top miniature high-definition camera, photonic thrusters, navigation and transmission components, and is actually a top-notch miniature aircraft with complete space exploration capabilities.

The communication system of the Earth Pupil is borrowed from the communication technology of the [Source of Creation], and the information transmission principle of the Creator is not fundamentally different from that on the earth, but its related technology level is far ahead of the earth civilization.

To make an analogy, the Creator has been playing with handheld quantum computers for a long time, but we are still doing the most basic calculations with computers that are so large that they take up an entire basketball court.

In order to finally reach the destination safely, the entire scientific team of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance spent a lot of effort on the design of the Earth Pupil.

Because, in the process of flying at high speed in the universe at close to the speed of light, although the pupil of the earth will not encounter small monsters in the universe, it is very likely to encounter other dangers, causing the exploration boat to capsize.

First of all, cosmic dust is the most significant threat to interstellar quasi-light-speed flight, and at close to the speed of light, spacecraft can be damaged even if they collide with a single atom, and if the same dust or stone collides, it can be completely destroyed.

You know, the cosmic space around the solar system is not a vacuum.

Billions of years ago, the supernova that created the solar system exploded, spreading a huge amount of dust around the solar system. In addition, there are other cosmic physical processes that scatter single atoms in interstellar space.

Through computational deduction, the extraterrestrial civilization project team found that although hydrogen and helium atoms are the most common interstellar atoms, the heavier oxygen, magnesium, and iron single atoms are the main sources of destruction.

The threat from interstellar dust is different. Small interstellar dust is similar to a batch of single atoms hitting a spaceship at the same time, and the damage comes mainly from heating, but interstellar dust large enough can directly destroy the spacecraft in a collision.

Fortunately, in space, there are very few "big enough" dust, so the probability of them hitting a ship is estimated to be only 100,000...... 1 in 00000 (there are 50 zeros in total).

Yes, the safest means of transportation on earth is far from that probability.

In addition, the Pupil of the Earth has a powerful observation ability to detect these large particles of interstellar dust or debris at great distances, so the probability of it being destroyed in space is very low.

However, all things considered, if the pupil of the earth does not want to be left without bones during this trip, it must consider appropriate protective measures.

If you follow Earth's aerospace material technology, you will have to add thick protective armor to the Earth Pupil, but the result of this will cause its mass to increase dramatically, and finally it will not be able to accelerate with laser sails.

Secondly, there is also the high temperature problem that can be caused by continuous high-speed flight, which is high enough to cause the spacecraft material to evaporate.

On the other hand, even if the evaporation temperature is not reached, the properties of the material are changed by high temperatures, which affects its structural properties.

In the same way, the aerospace material technology on earth cannot come up with a perfect solution.

Fortunately, the Earth civilization has obtained the [Source of Creation]!

In the absence of other better options, the scientific team of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance had to cheekily transform and use the materials of alien technology, which solved the above problems.

......

I don't know how long later, a familiar voice came, interrupting Yuan Haochen's contemplation.

"Hao Chen, the pupil of the earth has entered the predetermined orbit." Durunik walked towards Hara Chen.

"Good!"

Yuan Haochen came back to his senses and replied simply and forcefully.

"The project team is already carrying out the linkage detection and debugging of the Earth Pupil and the laser emitter." Trunik continued.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Yuan Haochen walked towards the control center with Durunik with vigorous steps.

(Dear book friends, remember to come to the starting point to help me vote, thank you!) (To be continued.) )
