159 Wreckage
The things on the Cui Haixing no longer need Bai Zhongqi to put in much energy. The six towers www.biquge.info of the pen & fun & pavilion were burned to glass, and the kingdom of the Northern Continent was also destroyed, this war actually did not cause too many casualties, and the biggest loss of life was caused by Xiao Yu's conscious destruction in the siege of the capital of Shang Duohan.
Because Bai Zhongqi ordered the Star Alliance to wipe out the plundering Northern Continent army, the overall casualties were fewer than the Milua Succession War that swept most of the Northern Continent three years ago.
As Bai Zhongqi expected, the people of the Northern Continent did not particularly reject the Iridium people. They were accustomed to constantly changing lords, and the harsh natural environment made it enough for the lords to be grateful if they were willing to charge less taxes. The new "Kingdom Lord" is nothing short of a great philanthropist, and after the war, Iridium gave relief to the displaced people throughout the Northern Continent. In addition, they recruited landless and unemployed people from the North Continent as laborers, engaged in various activities, and distributed considerable wages and food, which received a large number of responses.
The aristocratic group was almost completely liquidated, and even if the looted wealth was not seen by the Iridium people at all, it was distributed to the vast number of poor people, which still made the poor suddenly feel that good days had arrived.
Transforming Cui Haixing into a "civilized society" will naturally take longer than the earth, Bai Zhongqi did not have the patience, so he asked Xiao Yu to do it.
He took 351 Star Warriors willing to serve the United Empire from the Emerald Sea Star, most of whom were prophets of the Southern Continent. Bai Zhongqi did not re-establish the Imperial Star Transmission Academy as the governing body of the Star Warriors, but transformed it into the Star Transmission Corps, as a military unit directly under the Empire. And here the training and other management of the star warriors.
In order to supervise and control the Star Transmission Corps, Bai Zhongqi also made some efforts, the Star Warriors must wear special Tyberon armor, and they also need to undergo certain human body modifications, which allow Bai Zhongqi to actually have full control over their actions.
After being stranded for a long time in the Emerald Starfish, Bai Zhongqi took the Holy Falcon and returned to Earth. The emerald starfish is operating normally, Governor Xiao Yu is in charge of the management of the planet, and the orbital complex is still under the direct control of Bai Zhongqi, producing various industrial products and building new warships for the Star Alliance.
On the voyage back to Earth, Bai Zhongqi read the briefings on various affairs of the Star Alliance. There is no such thing as the supreme leader of the Star Alliance, the power organ is the Star Alliance Council, but in fact, the real leader of the Star Alliance is naturally Bai Zhongqi, but he doesn't need to add a name to himself as the President of the Star Alliance.
In the Interstellar Exploration Project, the Star Alliance's reconnaissance ship explored two new star systems over the course of a few months. the second closest star system to the Solar System, the Barnard System; and the discovery of the Luhman16 double galaxy only announced by humans on Earth in 2013. Compared to the discovery of the habitable planet Emerald Starfish in the Centaur Alpha System, these two systems were not so lucky.
The red dwarf star Barnard is the fourth closest red dwarf star to the Sun and theoretically has a habitable zone as well. But Iridium has not found any planets of any size in this galaxy, which means that Barnard is a solitary star, and only a few small fragments of stars form a celestial system around it.
The Ruchmann 16 double galaxy is a different story, these two stars are brown dwarfs, because they are too small to form hydrogen fusion, and can only be converted into light and heat through gravitational potential energy, which is insignificant compared to the main sequence stars, so they are usually called "failed stars", a kind of celestial body between giant planets and stars.
The Iridium people have discovered more than a dozen planets in the Ruhrmann system, and the trajectory is relatively chaotic, but it can be developed into a mine with relatively economic value.
Bai Zhongqi will not be discouraged by the lack of discovery of a new habitable planet, because this is the norm in the universe.
The Ruhrmann system is dead silent, with not even a single real star, but some terrestrial planets are rich in fusion raw materials, which means that the Federation can build outposts there, mine, and defend the galaxy.
The discovery of the two galaxies did not make Bai Zhongqi pay special attention, what really made him pay attention to the following discovery.
Xu Lanzhou pointed to the image in front of him and showed Bai Zhongqi: "This is the picture we captured 16 hours ago on an asteroid with a diameter of only 16 kilometers in the asteroid belt. After the image was processed, the system automatically recognized the artificial traces, and the second time we re-scanned it, we switched to a clearer lens and found this thing. ”
It was a crashed spaceship, and it wouldn't be very large, at best, just over a hundred meters. From the perspective of the Iridium people's aesthetics, this spaceship is simply ugly, a very unrefined tetragonal alien, two engines are rudely installed on both sides of the ship, and the structure of various parts on the hull can be seen very clearly, even if most of the spaceship has been destroyed at this time, but it can also make people see how rough the person who made this thing is.
Xu Lanzhou continued: "We immediately sent landing personnel to investigate, this spacecraft has been crashed for at least a hundred years, most of the equipment has also been damaged, and we have not found any relevant records. In terms of equipment technology, this spacecraft is only equivalent to our technology more than a thousand years ago. ”
Bai Zhongqi was surprised: "When I look at it, I think it's not much stronger than earth technology." ”
"This is not a warship, but a private ship, and it is not too strongly armed, but the clues of the development of civilization can be seen from some equipment. The ship has a fairly advanced biolab on board, and it has a warp engine. ”
Bai Zhongqi's face became more serious, and he said, "A private spaceship, but does it have a warp engine?" ”
Xu Lanzhou said: "Yes, Your Majesty." The ship's damage was severe, and there wasn't much we could analyze, but we could be sure that the ship's rescue capsule was gone, and there were no signs of damage, and it should have been launched before or after it fell. ”
Bai Zhongqi's heart sank, and he said, "In other words, the pilot of this spaceship survived, and he is in the solar system." More than a hundred years is nothing to some long-lived races, maybe the pilot of this spaceship is still alive? ”
Xu Lanzhou nodded, with a serious expression: "We have reason to make such a speculation, through the construction of the spaceship and the model analysis, we judge that this interstellar civilization race should also be a bipedal upright carbon-based life, but it should not be a primate." In that case, the Earth's environment is suitable for the vast majority of carbon-based organisms, and it is very likely that the spaceship survivors went to Earth and still live there. ”
Bai Zhongqi pondered for a moment and said, "The survivors of this spaceship, if they come to Earth, may have had an impact on the development of Earth, and I don't know if they will return to their home planet in the end. However, it is more likely that it will not succeed, otherwise there would have been an official record of extraterrestrial visits on Earth. We can't yet deduce when this guy arrived on Earth, or even if he did it. But after the forties of the last century, brain worms began to enter human society. We can be sure that the brain worm is not a protocratic organism of the earth, so is the brain worm the pilot of this spaceship? ”
He continued to reason: "It should be unlikely, the technology on this spaceship is always more than a thousand years ahead of the earth, but the brain worm does not show any advanced level of science and technology, and even relies on the technological development of human beings to provide them with capital investment points." The spaceship survivors are high-level carbon-based creatures with two legs erect, and at that level of technology, they should not be able to detect the existence of brain worms. ”
He thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue, so he had to explain that he would continue to increase the research on the wreckage of the spaceship. At the same time, he also knew that it was almost time to close the net against the brainworms lurking on Earth.
