Chapter 21 Heading into the Distance

And so the time went by, month after month......

In the blink of an eye, people have been on this planet for two years, and people have obtained more than a billion tons of helium-3, plus a large number of rare minerals. X

After much thought, it was decided to leave this rich metal planet!

Although there are many, many, many resources on this planet, human beings can keep eating and waiting to die for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!

But...... It doesn't seem to be necessary, there are enough resources in the Noah, and even the first "Titan" has been built, so there is not much point in continuing to mine.

The human race is indeed quite greedy, but this greed seems insignificant in front of the entire universe.

Today, the community of scientists is ready to explore faraway places with a can't wait......

Farther and farther!

Comfort is impossible to be comfortable, if you want to pursue comfort, people will choose to stay in the Knicks Star since it has become an interstellar civilization and has the ability to travel interstellar, another kind of thinking has naturally become people's instinct.

That's ...... Explore the unknown!

The new human civilization is still very young, not even the first generation has died, they have enough vitality and enthusiasm to explore new things in the universe.

The thinking of interstellar civilizations is naturally different from that of low-level civilizations.

The difference is like that between a helicopter and a tricycle......

People with helicopters will naturally want to go higher and farther to see it, while the owner of a tricycle may not want to go out of the county......

And now, with a higher-level spaceship and the ability to truly interstellar sailing, it is natural for humans to want to explore more unknowns.

In particular, in the universe, there are universal laws of life, which make each planet more colorful. Although most of them are low-level lifeforms, human beings can always learn more things shortly after they leave low-level civilizations.

"Let's go, let's go, stay on this planet, although it's safer and more comfortable...... But we don't belong here. ”

"Maybe in the future, we have enough power to come back and transform this metal planet into a real planetary-class ship! You can also give the Knicks Star a makeover! ”

"Goodbye, planet GB131!"

Yu Yifeng stood in the captain's room, threw thousands of thoughts out of his mind, and gave the final order: "Deep Space!" ”

"Captain's order, Deep Space,!"

“……!”

Once born and twice cooked, everyone is already familiar with this voyage.

The space elevator was retracted a few days ago, and the ion engine behind it spewed bright flames that quickly broke free from the planet's gravitational pull.

Everything went according to plan, and there weren't too many mistakes.

After a few days, the Warp Engine began to replace the Ion Engine, and a thin layer of curvature bubbles enveloped the entire Deep Space Space.

This voyage was even more distant than the last, and it was also the first time that mankind had made a long voyage across the stars.

After a lot of discussion and argumentation, people still chose the ...... "Dieger 114" 6.8 light years away!

Over the course of two years, the telescope observed four more significant bright spots, concentrated within a month. Plus 11 not-so-bright suspected spots......

These points of light also indirectly prove that this planet, which is similar to the earth, is indeed breaking out in a tragic nuclear war!

However, in the following year, mankind did not detect a similar point of light, as if the war had been fought......

"Are they having an energy crisis just like the Knicks?" Yu Yifeng thought very suspiciously.

"But Dig-114 is relatively close to the star, and has almost inexhaustible stellar energy, so it shouldn't be like the Knicks civilization...... Why? ”

To this end, he also held a special meeting to ask everyone if they wanted to change the target location, etc.

The end result is that people are still going to run over and have a look!

For one, the planet may resemble Earth, perhaps an ideal home for humans.

Second, even if the planet does not meet the requirements, people can still understand the reasons for the outbreak of nuclear war, add knowledge of the sociology of the universe, and collect biological specimens of the planet by the way......

According to the alien "black", human perception is still too narrow, and even people's thinking is still at the level of a lower civilization.

Disciplines such as sociology and biology must collect enough samples to make great progress, and there is no benefit in doing so behind closed doors.

In more than 100 years of research on the planet of Nix, people have found that life is far more complex than they imagined. Until now, scientists have not been able to actually "create" species...... People can improve, they can splic, but they can't make it up out of thin air.

Such a reality has to make people feel a little depressed.

L4-level theories such as gene dynamics can only summarize part of the properties of genetic material, but not all of them.

Humanity still has a lot to learn and verify!

"The top speed of our curvature is about three times the speed of light, so the whole process takes two or three years...... Cheer up, don't make any mistakes! Yu Yifeng was in the captain's room and said calmly.

However, the speed of the spacecraft is not too high, about 0.1 times the speed of light, and it is estimated that it will last for two or three months.

This speed allows the central computer to quickly restore images of the outside world in order to detect the outside world.

Because...... There are too many asteroids in this place, and there is a small chance of touching the hull of the ship.

Ordinary small meteorites can be broken with lasers and electromagnetic cannons, and even if some small things burst into the curvature bubble, it doesn't matter much. The kinetic energy of Deep Space itself is not large, and it can withstand the impact of some space junk.

But if you encounter a larger planet, you have to get around it. The collision is still one thing, but also because of its huge size, it may shatter the curvature bubble around the spaceship.

Just like a soap bubble is broken, if a curvature bubble is invaded by a large amount of material, this membrane may also be broken, and at this time, it will cause a huge explosion!

Such a super explosion, Deep Space can't bear it......

Therefore, people can only use a lower speed to avoid these asteroids, and no matter how fast they are, there is no way to detect the outside world in real time.

In front of you is a gaseous blue planet like Neptune, with an atmosphere dominated by hydrogen and helium, mixed with trace amounts of methane. This methane is one of the reasons why planets are blue.

In the vicinity of this gaseous planet, there are a large number of meteorites, forming a beautiful circular ring.

"Equivalent to a Neptune, plus the planetary structure of Saturn's rings. It's beautiful! ”

Perhaps the "GB131 planet", itself a satellite of this gaseous planet, was lucky to escape after being hit and became an independent planet.

And the rest of the planet became a planetary ring.

Scientists have calculated the total mass of the meteorite belt, and the overall data is indeed very much in line with this conjecture.

Deep Sky's encounter with this gaseous planet was only a moment, and compared to a planet, 0.1 times the speed of light is still very fast.

Humans threw out several nuclear-powered music boxes here, which could last for 10,000 years.

These music boxes show that humans have been here, just like "humans have visited here".

And there are still a few broken excavators on GB131, which is equivalent to declaring human sovereignty: the new human civilization is the first to discover this planet!

If it is involved with other interstellar civilizations in the future, it can be regarded as evidence.

Well, this is all the bad taste of Yu Yifeng and some other scientists. If you've been here, you've always left some traces.

Two months later, the spacecraft finally broke away from the main region of the star system, and there were many more comets on this periphery, but their orbits were not in the direction of human progress, and the probability of collision was extremely low.

Now, it's time to travel at a higher speed.

Yu Yifeng looked at the gravitational wave reconnaissance report submitted by the observatory, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no dangerous celestial objects ahead, he finally gave the final order: "Start traveling faster than light!"

"Captain's order, start faster-than-light sailing mode!" r
