Frank has always been an extremely strong and decisive team leader, but this time he was slow to make up his mind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What kind of plan should be come up with?

Over the past few years, the team he is responsible for has theoretically come up with several reasonable ideas. However, all the plans of interstellar migration are still empty of souls and no bodies, and to truly realize every detail of them, it is difficult for the scientific and technological strength of the current earth civilization to achieve.

The so-called ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny, that's what it means.

"Get all the researchers to the conference room!"

Frank continued to ponder for a moment, then instructed the secretary's assistant.

Half an hour later, nearly a hundred researchers had gathered in the conference room, all of whom were researchers affiliated with the Interstellar Migration Project of the Earth Crisis Research Team.

"Guys, the situation has changed, we must come up with a plan on the table immediately!" Frank said bluntly.

"However, our plan is not perfect, and many details cannot stand the test...... one researcher said, looking puzzled.

"No, but!" Frank interrupted him forcefully, "Now that governments are anxiously waiting for us to come up with a convincing plan, the people urgently need an explanation, a bit of hope!" ”

"This ......"

There were whispers from the crowd.

"Well, let's assume the worst-case scenario, Future doesn't find the interstellar travel technology we need in the Alpha Centauri system!"

Frank glanced at everyone and said in a deliberately raised tone.

"With this as a premise, let's discuss the most feasible solution to the crisis."

"Your Excellency, Commander." A researcher wearing heavy glasses was the first to stand up, straightened his glasses and continued, "Regardless of the ability to travel interstellarly, based on observations in recent years, we have now determined that the galaxies with terrestrial planets in their habitable zones are: Alpha Centauri, It is 4.3 light-years from Earth, Barnard is 5.9 light-years from Earth, Rutan 726-8a is 8.7 light-years from Earth, Canis Major A (Sirius A) is 8.6 light-years from Earth, and Canis Minoris A (South River IIIA) is 11.4 light-years from Earth. ”

"The condition of the Alpha Centauri system is the most familiar to us, so we won't mention it for now."

"Let's start with Barnard, even though it's closer to the solar system. And, in addition to a terrestrial planet in the habitable zone, there are two planets about the size of Jupiter and Saturn orbiting the star, but Barnard is a relatively small red dwarf. ”

Similarly, the star Rutan 726-8a is nowhere near the size of the solar system, with only Canis A Major A (Sirius A) and Canis Minora A (Nanhe IIIA) comparable in size to the Sun. However, until the lasersail miniature space telescope we launched sends back specific signals, it remains to be debated whether the planets in the habitable zone of the above galaxy are suitable as targets for interstellar migration to Earth's civilization. ”

"In view of the time constraints, if you want to come up with a specific interstellar migration plan immediately, the most reliable target planet for immigration is the Sand Star in the Alpha Centauri system."

"Indeed, Sand Star is a habitable planet that has been confirmed, and although the ecological environment and other conditions are far inferior to those of Earth, it is still no problem as a temporary refuge."

Several other researchers agreed.

"It's a pity that Sand Star is an abandoned planet with extremely scarce resources and cannot support the development of Earth's civilization for a long time."

Other researchers said with regret.

"The target planet for immigration is the Sand Star of the Alpha Centauri system!" Frank directly decided, "It's until you find a better target planet for immigrants." After all, this is a planet with pictures and truths, and it is highly convincing to the people. ”

"So how are we going to get to the Sand Star, and how many people are expected to be able to get to the Sand Star?"

A researcher who looks relatively young poked everyone's pain point with one sentence.

"We don't have large-scale interstellar travel technology right now, so we can't just pat our heads and talk about a number." Doubts have been raised.

"So what should I do?"

"We can't solve this problem for the time being, we can change the way and bypass it for the time being." Someone suggested.

"Who will eventually participate in interstellar migration? The elderly, the children, the young, and the middle-aged. We might as well organize a poll and use our guidance to determine the percentage of people who will eventually want to participate in the interstellar migrants, as well as their age composition. ”

"It's an idea to leave the problem to the people themselves, and we can also use it to predict the number of people who will eventually participate in the interstellar migration." Frank agreed, "You can also add survey indicators such as nationality, ethnicity, occupation, gender, etc. Of course, we should also give some guidance, not everyone is suitable for interstellar migration. ”

"If we want to build a giant spaceship that can accommodate a large number of people, it is still possible for us to concentrate the strength and resources of the entire Earth civilization. But how to turn it into a high-speed interstellar spaceship? This question is still unsolved. ”

"If we weren't able to build a giant black hole power system, it would not have been possible to get so many people to Alpha Centauri with the Alliance's nuclear propulsion system alone."

"So there's still no way to come up with a plan?" Someone asked rhetorically

"This ......"

It was difficult for everyone to come up with a better opinion for a while.

Just as the meeting reached an impasse, an Asian scientist in his mid-forties stood up.

"Your Excellency, I have some ideas."

"Li Yueqing, what do you think?" Frank's sharp eyes looked over at once.

The Asian-American male scientist is none other than Li Yueqing, a member of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance's Pacific Base and a member of the extraterrestrial civilization project team led by Yuan Chen.

"We can't build an interstellar spaceship that can fly close to the speed of light. This is indeed frustrating, but it does not mean that Earth's civilization cannot reach the Alpha Centauri system. Li Yueqing began to talk eloquently about his thoughts.

"What do you mean?"

Frank asked thoughtfully.

"If the spaceship is a giant space castle with a closed, independent, circular ecosystem. Then, a large number of humans can live in space cities, and even if this generation cannot reach their destination, our children and grandchildren will eventually be able to reach it. ”

"Wandering civilization?!"

"It's indeed a wandering civilization, but the wandering journey will eventually come to an end!" Li Yueqing continued.

"However, there are also several technical difficulties in the space castle, first, space gravity technology; second, a stable energy supply; Third, a well-developed ecosystem. ”

After a moment's thought, Frank points out three of the most critical issues.
