218 Exploring the interstellar clouds
Mo Laitong opened the holographic 3D map of the Danlu interstellar cloud as a demonstration, the position of the earth in the middle and lower part of the Danlu interstellar cloud, because the interstellar cloud is thin in the star field, and the stars are far away from each other, so it does not look very dense.

"This is the Sirius Galaxy, its star Sirius is 8.6 light-years away from the Sun, and the space on the outer edge of the Sirius Galaxy is the only way to enter the Danlu Interstellar Cloud from any spacecraft other than the Danlu Interstellar Cloud," he said. ”
Bai Zhongqi had only just known about this situation for a long time, and he didn't quite understand the reason why the Danlu Interstellar Cloud was isolated from the rest of the Milky Way, nor did he know how and where external forces would enter the Danlu Interstellar Cloud if they wanted to. However, based on the observation data and precise calculations, the Star Alliance Research Institute learned that the Sirius Galaxy is the only entrance to the Danlu interstellar cloud from the outside.
Due to the peculiar astronomical characteristics of the Danlu interstellar cloud, the material distribution and spatial properties of the internal space are different from those in other parts of the Milky Way, and the fault phenomenon of the outer and adjacent spaces of the interstellar cloud is naturally formed here. To put it simply, the universe is a vacuum for earthlings, but it is not that there is no matter and energy in the vacuum. To explain in a more metaphysical way, there is an attribute of existence within this space, and a spatial fault is another matter. The universe is by no means evenly distributed with all matter, and in the spatial fault, there is no matter and energy, so it is "non-existent" in nature.
Obviously, no being can cross the phenomenon of non-existence, and it is possible to enter the space inside the Danlu interstellar cloud from the cosmic space outside the Danlu interstellar cloud.
However, warp speed is a way of "ironing" the universe, imagine a straight white paper, the actual universe is a white paper bend, people move on the surface of the white paper, but obviously this is not the shortest distance. One end of the white paper surface to the other end will be very far away if you walk the paper surface, but it will be very close across the air.
Space faults occur on the "white paper surface", and if the navigator knows the coordinates of his destination, he can use warp speed to cross the space fault phenomenon on the white paper surface and enter the Danlu interstellar cloud. But if the voyager does not know the coordinates of his destination, it is very likely that he will crash headlong into the space fault, or something more tragic will happen.
There is only one passage that can cross the space fault, and that is the one that connects a region outside Sirius to a region outside the Danlu interstellar cloud.
Bai Zhongqi said: "While building our defense force, our exploration and understanding of the entire Danlu interstellar cloud may need to be improved. Because the power and energy of the Star Federation have always been limited, we have only explored four star systems, and established bases for mining or colonization in these star systems. Now, we need to explore all the star systems in the entire Danlu interstellar cloud, especially the Sirius system, as we build a line of defense there against the invasion of the Tezons. ”
At this time, a Bulgarian representative asked; "Your Majesty, we highly support the decision of the Star Alliance, and are willing to provide it to the Star Alliance in any way. I would like to ask how the specific benefits of the discovery of new planets, even habitable planets like Earth and Emerald Starfish, should be distributed? ”
Bai Zhongqi replied: "Now the main strategic goal of our Star Alliance is to focus on planetary defense, of course, it is inevitable that we will find planets with development value in exploration, and I can also assure you here that the new resources and new land discovered by Star Alliance will become the cornerstone of the expansion of the earth's civilization, and the Star Alliance also intends to let more people with pioneering spirit leave their home planet and go to new planets to spread the civilization of our earth." Naturally, this premise is that the new inhabitants who go to the new planet are highly identified with the Star Alliance, whose values are unified with the Star Alliance, and who have accepted the Star Alliance culture and are ready to spread the Star League culture. ”
These may seem like no big deals, or even clichés, but in fact they have other implications. To accept the Starlink culture, you must first be able to use the official language of Starlink, that is, Chinese. Most of the people who can meet such standards now are from Country C. Even if some countries protest against this, there is not much they can do but let people go into a deep sleep and study hard. After a series of education and assessments by Starlink, those who are recognized as passing must be talents who are helpful to Starlink's expansion outside the country and can maintain the stable population of the new administrative star.
Bai Zhongqi is now able to send more reconnaissance fleets to carry out exploration missions, not only the reconnaissance ship Insight, which was originally built in the first universe, but now with the graduation of more students from the Star Alliance Military Academy, Bai Zhongqi can already throw these new space army officers, with more reliable bionic officers, to some Iridium warships that have just been built, and let them perform exploration missions similar to reconnaissance ships.
Except for the Holy Falcon and the two frigates that remained on Earth and did not deploy to the outside world, all the warships that Bai Zhongqi had built for such a long time were sent out to be used as reconnaissance ships.
Although in terms of economy, heavy cruisers, star destroyers, and frigates are inevitably inferior to reconnaissance ships, but loading some exploration mission modules, as well as certain scientific research capabilities (focusing on astronomical observation and test capabilities), can make the ship run well and open more maps for the Star Alliance.
Because the purpose was clear and the number of ships sent out was also quite large, Bai Zhongqi had already opened a large map in a short period of time. Even Chi Jia, Jun Jiushao and others were assigned to a frigate to carry out individual exploration missions. They weren't assigned to go to Sirius, in fact, there were two cruisers on Sirius's side, and Bai Zhongqi would start building an interstellar defense line directly there. The planets assigned by Chi Jia and others are not comparable with well-known stars such as Tianyuan 4 and Tiancang 5, and are typical names composed of discoverers and a string of numbers.
The crew didn't have much to pick and choose from in this regard, although it was a mission to carry out the Star Alliance, but this kind of exploration mission often had a gambling bonus. That is, if you are lucky enough to find a very valuable object during an exploration mission, you will receive a significant lotto prize.
