Yuan Haochen could hear Chris's off-string sound, so he continued to speak while the iron was hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I believe everyone will be interested in the real scene on Alpha Centauri BB1. It happens to be in the middle of the "habitable zone" and has a high probability of having an atmosphere and flowing water. It receives light from Alpha Centauri B with a similar intensity to the sunlight received by Earth, and could theoretically be used by plants for photosynthesis and thus lay the foundation for the existence of life. However, at this time, we are unable to provide conclusive evidence to determine whether there is life on Alpha Centauri BB1. Because all current space telescopes are only responsible for taking pictures, and there is no way to observe the planets up close, this requires later technical means to follow up. ”

Yuan Haochen continued to introduce while observing the expressions of the bigwigs present: "In other words, we must send the observation tools into the orbit of the Alpha Centauri star system. ”

"According to the information we have previously had about the Creator alien civilization, their level of technology is at least that of a Type 2 cosmic civilization that can master the resources of their star system. So, all the planets in the Centaur Alpha system must have left their footprints. Dean Frank judged, "They left the centaurs 2.1 billion years ago. There could be a number of reasons for their departure, from the depletion of resources to the upheaval caused by the chaotic binary gravitational system, which we no longer know. ”

"2.1 billion years later, it's hard to imagine what the Alpha Centauri galaxy looks like today!" Commander Watt sighed.

"Do the remnants of the Creator's civilized world still exist?"

"Is it possible that a new civilized world will be born there again?"

Other high-level officials are also speculating.

"There is a possibility, but there is a problem that we have to take into account." Yuan Haochen continued to put forward his thoughts, "Genesis Artificial Intelligence 8 has been continuously sending signals to the home planet, but it has never received any response, I think you must all understand what this means. ”

"In other words, the building is empty, and only ruins remain." A senior attendee replied.

"Interstellar migration is not an easy task, and even if the creators may have left, it is unlikely that they will take the entire natural environment and ecosystem, where there are likely to be relatively low-level life forms. My guess is that there should be no more advanced intelligent life born or evolved there, so there is no ability to make contact with Genesis AI 8. For now, we can only stay at the level of conjecture, and if we want to know the truth, we must see for ourselves what the interior of the Alpha Centauri galaxy looks like. Yuan Chen continued to explain.

Exactly, no one knows if there is life in the Alpha Centauri system. The only thing that is certain is that the currently discovered planet BB1 is not far from its sun, and it will not freeze into ice in the cold, nor will it steam into hot water in the dry sky.

However, even if a planet is in a habitable zone, there is no guarantee that water will flow on the surface, and the moon is a negative example.

Commander Watt was well aware of Yuan Chen's request, so he said directly: "Frank has already communicated with us about your general idea before. Show us your detailed plan. ”

"Thank you for your support!" Yuan Haochen smiled and opened the project plan that had been prepared long ago and shared it with everyone in the meeting.

Chris the deputy commander of the Pacific base said appreciatively: "You can think of a way to borrow a laser emitter from an alien civilization, it's really creative." Can you elaborate on the entire action plan? ”

"We plan to launch miniature space telescopes powered by laser sails in Earth's outer space." While showing the materials of the project plan, Yuan Haochen introduced, "Due to our limited level of science and technology, we are not able to replicate the super laser emitter of alien civilizations for the time being. So, we're already designing conversion bridge technology to disassemble the super laser emitter and prepare it for launch to the Earth's outer space station as an emission light source. ”

"It's a bold idea, but there are some risks that we have to take into account." At the beginning, the commander said with a serious face, "This kind of alien technology, including Mars, there are only two in total for all mankind, you must ensure that there are no accidents in the whole process, otherwise, human civilization will not be able to withstand such a huge loss." ”

"Rest assured, the riskiest part is the rocket transportation to the space station, and we will design the most comprehensive support device, even if the rocket explodes in the air, it will not damage the alien technology." Yuan Haochen replied confidently.

"OK, all the details of the safeguards must be fully evaluated before they can be implemented."

"We'll do our best! In addition, we are also full of confidence in the safety factor of rocket delivery at the base. ”

Yuan added that after all, according to today's aerospace technology, the probability of a rocket explosion is too low.

"Well, the discovery of Alpha Centauri BB1 has made this plan even more meaningful." Chris nodded and smiled, "There is no problem with the project of launching a miniature space telescope powered by laser sails, and I believe that the top management of the IEA headquarters will also want us to act as soon as possible." ”

"That's great!" This is exactly what Yuan Haochen wants.

"Haha, we can finally take a look at the worlds of other cosmic civilizations in our lifetimes."

"So, the sooner we launch the Lasersail Micro Space Telescope, the better, so that in about eight years we can see the real picture of Alpha Centauri." Frank said with a smile.

Earth is about 4 light-years away from the Centaur Alpha System, and if the Laser Sail Microspace Telescope can travel close to the speed of light.

Then, in 4 years, it will be able to reach the vicinity of the Alpha Centauri system, but the real-time footage it captures will also need to travel through space for four years before it reaches Earth.

It is precisely because it will take 8 years to come and go this time, so Yuan hopes to start this project as soon as possible.

The Alpha Centauri galaxy is too important for Earth's civilization.

There was once a super-cosmic civilization there, and there was also a terrestrial planet that could be habitable for humans, and it would be the first stop for humanity to embark on interstellar travel!

So, it is imperative to launch a laser sail miniature space telescope into the Alpha Centauri system! (To be continued.) )
