The Mirai spacecraft is still flying forward in the vast space of the universe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Beyond Future, there is a pitch-black cosmic deep sky, except for the occasional asteroid and distant stars in the distance, the surrounding scenery seems to be forever unchanged.

In the spaceship, Yuan Haochen was looking at the starry sky in the distance, and in that direction, the brightest star was the hometown of the birth of human civilization.

"In two months or so, the Earth Command Center should receive our important discoveries on Permafrost......"

Yuan Haochen counted the time expectantly.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology, black hole science and technology that can provide a strong guarantee for large-scale interstellar travel, and artificial gravity field system technology ......, these science and technology discovered on Permafrost are the core achievements of this exploration operation. It is the most important thing for the earth's civilization, and it is enough to change the fate of the earth's civilization!

"Acceleration starts in ten minutes, please be ready."

The voice of the intelligent control system sounded, interrupting Yuan Haochen's thoughts.

Yuan Haochen immediately turned around and went to the control room of the Future.

"Are you ready?" Yuan Haochen asked.

"It's all right! The system has already started to automatically calculate and verify. Smith replied.

"Okay, it's a bit of an adventure, but we can get back to Earth a year and a half early, it's worth it, time is so precious......"

If the Mirai spacecraft continues to return to Earth at 50% of the speed of light as originally planned, it will take almost five years.

However, a few days ago, Hara Haochen put forward a bold idea through calculations, if all the spare fuel, energy, and even supplies of the spacecraft were emptied (including all the supply consumption in the shortened period of one and a half years), and the speed of the Future was managed to increase to nearly 80% of the speed of light, then the time to return to Earth would be shortened to about 3 and a half years.

This is risky, and all the safety reserves that were originally reserved have been thrown into the artificial black hole power system, so that there will be no major accidents on their return journey!

"Boom~~"

Acceleration began, and by adjusting the direction of the high-energy particle ejection, the Mirai spacecraft began to flip and enter an accelerated flight attitude. The surging power of the man-made black hole dynamical system is continuing to propel Mirage forward.

After more than a month of continuous acceleration, the Mirai spacecraft finally set a new record for speed, 79.9% of the speed of light. This is definitely the fastest flight in the history of manned spaceflight of the earth's civilization.

"It's going well, our luck is not bad, it's the same as the calculation, at this speed, the remaining resources are just enough for us to return to Earth."

Hara was carefully examining and calculating all the data.

"We're going to have to get the news out to Lynn and Earth Command."

Thinking that he could return to Earth in a year and a half, Smith said excitedly.

"Okay, we're going to go to sleep after we're done sending the email."

After confirming that everything was correct, Yuan Haochen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in reply.

......

Tibet, south side of Hisha Bangma Peak, headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance.

All the researchers in the two camps of the Earth Crisis Research Team Command Center, the Crisis Defense Team and the Interstellar Migration Team are working hard day and night.

However, attentive people can sense that there are subtle differences in the mental state of the researchers of these two different teams.

The researchers on the crisis defense team are highly focused and even excited, tackling one technical problem after another.

"I heard that the radiation-proof shell design scheme of [Geocentric City] has been strengthened and improved today!!"

"These two plants can also be added to the closed ecological circulation system, which have strong vitality and can also absorb formaldehyde ......"

"In view of the above special geological environments, we need to optimize the engineering scheme ......"

"Have you heard, in a few days, another group of engineering experts will be selected to expand our research team?"

On the other hand, the researchers of the interstellar migration team, although they have never slackened for a moment, are diligent and hardworking every day, but deep down they are worried and restless.

The reason for this is the slow progress of the research project and the excessive pressure. Whether it is the construction of a giant spaceship or a space castle, there are still flaws and even insurmountable gaps in scientific and technological strength.

The leader of the Interstellar Migration team, Deputy Commander Frank, is an extremely strong and decisive team leader, but in recent months he has uncharacteristically become mild and low-key, much to the discomfort of many researchers.

On this day, several researchers were hurrying to the office of Deputy Commander Frank.

"Toot ~ Toot ~ "

The one who rang the doorbell was Li Yueqing, a researcher from the Pacific base, who proposed the space castle plan.

"Sit down, guys."

Frank looked indifferent and motioned for the researchers to take their seats.

"Thank you, Commander."

"We have several tasks to report back to you."

The researchers made Frank aware of their intentions.

"Good!" Frank nodded to everyone.

"We've done our initial polls."

A researcher in his 40s lights up a computer data display and analysis system.

"Out of all polls, only 10 percent of respondents are willing to participate in interstellar migration."

"Well~, this ratio is really low. However, I must explain that the background of the option is to choose between three options: interstellar migration, staying on the surface of the Earth, or entering the [City of the Earth]. This only shows that ordinary people are more inclined to stay on Earth, or go into underground cities. If they don't qualify to live in the Inner City, I think the percentage of interstellar immigrants will eventually increase significantly. ”

"This is an entrance structure for those who are interested in participating in interstellar migration." The researcher turns on the data presentation system.

Gender: 35.1% female, 64.9% male (it can be seen that women are more afraid of the deep space of the universe);

Age composition: 33.2% under 20 years old, 29.5% 21~30 years old, 26.3% 31~41 years old, 8.2% 41~51 years old, 2.8% over 51 years old;

Occupation:......

"Conservative calculations, even if 10% of the population participates in interstellar migration, this is an astronomical amount for us!"

After reading the poll data, several other researchers sighed. Indeed, with the current scientific and technological strength of the earth's civilization, it is simply a big joke to send hundreds of millions of people into the universe.

"It's impossible to meet everyone's requirements, and even the [Geocentric City] project, which is now in full swing, can only accommodate 200 million people." Frank said with a wave of his hand.

"The more serious situation is that at present, most of the energy and resources of the IEA and even the governments of the world are focused on the construction of [geocentric cities], where is there still room to carry out the construction of more challenging and less feasible space castles." The researchers said worriedly.

Frank pondered for a moment, of course he knew that the current situation was very passive, and that the interstellar migration program was only an important supplement to the strategic plans of the IEA and governments, not the main strategy to deal with the crisis. Even the Commander-in-Chief focused on the [City of the Earth] construction project, and spent much more time than he could meet with Hobart every week.

Or should it be described as such, in the minds of the leaders of the various factions, the current interstellar migration project, in a strategic sense, is more like a last resort to protect the flame of human civilization, and it is impossible to rely on this plan to save all mankind......
