Chapter 275: Abundant Materials!
Zhou Chen and they were not wrong at all, when the Poseidon Galaxy was exposed to the universe, it did cause a sensational reaction within the Odo civilization, for this special astronomical phenomenon, the Odo civilization could not be explained by their theory, so it was finally attributed to the heritage of the higher civilization!
In the command hall of the Python, Bobijie personally ordered the entire civilization fleet to sail in the direction of the Poseidon Galaxy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, it would not be wrong to say that it was a legacy, but it was not the legacy of the Myers civilization they had hoped for.
……
Earth civilization, flagship Draco.
Conference Hall.
"Our next destination is Tianyuan IV, which is about 7.1 light-years away from the Poseidon Galaxy, if the fleet moves at 0.7 times the speed of light, it will take about ten years, and through conversion, the internal time is about seven years, that is, seven years later, in the year 294 of the new calendar, we will be able to reach the Oort cloud of Tianyuan IV and enter the range of the star system of Tianyuan IV!"
Tianyuan IV is a star in the constellation Bojiang and the closest star to the Sun in this constellation, and in star classification, Tianyuan IV belongs to the main sequence star K2 type star, with a spectrum of K2V type.
It is a star with only 85% of the mass of the Sun, less than one-third the brightness of the Sun, and the third closest star in the whole day that can be seen with the naked eye on the list of nearby stars. It is less than a billion years old, and it is a relatively young star.
Relative to the Sun, the outer atmosphere of Tianyuan IV appears larger and hotter than the Sun, due to the massive mass loss caused by its stellar winds that are 30 times stronger than the Sun.
"Arrived in Tianyuan 4 in about seven years, and the time is still quite close!" After listening to this, everyone had a judgment in their hearts.
Seven years is indeed not a long time, compared to the distance between stars, which often takes decades or hundreds of years to sail, this distance is indeed relatively short. In fact, for any civilization that has not reached the level of a fourth-level civilization, interstellar travel is boring and tedious.
They must prepare all the fuel in advance and improve their civilization status as they sail.
The biggest consumption of the civilization of interstellar travel is not the consumption of materials in the process of life reproduction, because technology has reached their level, and it can basically realize the recycling of materials 100%! The real consumption of resources is actually the power output when sailing, whether it is acceleration, deceleration, or orbit change, all of which consume energy.
Once this energy is consumed, it is equivalent to leaving the ship, which is a net loss!
Fortunately, after switching to antimatter as an energy source, the space inside the spacecraft occupied by this consumption has been compressed to the maximum, and it is no longer so unbearable.
Of course, for the sake of saving energy, the speed of interstellar travel should also be limited, and 0.7 times the speed of light is the best sailing speed that Zhou Chen derived, which was formulated by comprehensively considering the consumption rate of life-type materials. But to achieve a maximum speed of 0.7 times, of course, it consumes more energy than 0.5 times, and if a civilization can achieve self-circulation of internal living materials, it does not have to pursue when it can reach its destination.
Therefore, low-speed sailing is also a generally accepted way.
Zhou Chen and they could have sailed at 0.5 times the speed of light, or even lower, but considering the existence of the Odo civilization, the pressure from objective reality made it impossible for them to take such a good way of traveling, at least in Zhou Chen's opinion, they couldn't slow down too much before completely getting rid of the threat of the Odo civilization and entering the safe zone.
But that's fine, it takes seven years to reach Tianyuan Four!
At that time, the expedition spacecraft that had been sent to Tianyuan 4 a few years ago and left there had already prepared all the relevant materials for them to sail away, and as long as they received the "good things" left behind by the Blue Horse Consortium, they could turn around and start their own exploration journey.
It was precisely because of the existence of the expedition spacecraft that Zhou Chen had full confidence in the smooth arrival of Tianyuan Si and the evacuation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, even if they knew that the Blue Horse Consortium had left a legacy for them, it would be a question of whether they dared to go. After all, although the Blue Horse Consortium is friendly with the Earth civilization, who knows what their intentions were, what if they did not evacuate, but set a trap for the Earth civilization?
Secondly, even if they were really evacuated, the Blue Horse Consortium did not have any ill will towards the Earth Civilization, but if there were no materials prepared in advance for rapid evacuation in Tianyuan Four, the Earth Civilization would not dare to rush there, because if it attracted the attention of the Otto Civilization when they set off, the future of the Earth Civilization would be in danger.
For this trip, Zhou Chen and they made countless plans, but fortunately, from the actual situation, none of these plans came in handy, which is a very fortunate thing.
"Tell me about how our civilization developed during the voyage." Zhou Chen smiled faintly, looked at everyone and said.
Cao Jiangfeng stood up and said, "Since the spacecraft is in the navigation stage, we cannot carry out some large-scale particle collision experiments such as the ring-star level, which has a very serious impact on the basic theoretical disciplines, but we can turn to those fields that are supported by experimental data." ”
"During the voyage, we should focus on the development of computer technology, life science technology, new material technology and other key technologies, and in terms of basic disciplines, electromagnetism and electrodynamics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, acoustics, optics, condensed matter physics, microscopic quantum mechanics, etc.
"Yes, yes! In particular, light computers and new material technology will be the disciplines that will promote the fastest progress of our civilization! After Cao Jiangfeng's speech, Ye Yanzhe immediately followed, "Of course, life science is also very important, and this is a discipline that is closely related to the interests of everyone present. ”
"I don't think we can be left behind in weapons research!" Gustav stood up and said, "Military power is an important factor in the continuation of civilization!" ”
His speech was immediately supported by Jessica, the head of the Institute of Military Science and Technology, and Liu Qianjiao, the head of the Military Council! For this scientist who advocates the development of the military, Jessica and Liu Qianjiao both smiled kindly.
"And string theory, which helps us understand the world better!" Yin Xi didn't say much, but he also interjected.
The hall suddenly became lively, and the enthusiasm of these scientists and parliamentarians was aroused, and they competed to speak for their fields.
Zhou Chen waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he said with a smile: "You can discuss and decide on scientific matters after returning to the Academy of Sciences!" Our main purpose is only one, that is, to develop as comprehensively as possible when conditions permit, and you can rest assured that we carry enough materials to carry out corresponding research! ”
"But some research that really requires a huge space, we definitely can't do it."
As soon as Zhou Chen's words came out, all the scientists and parliamentarians in the audience couldn't help but smile. Indeed, today's Earth Civilization Fleet can be said to carry sufficient resources.
Among the 2,600 formations in the civilization circle, 500 formations are completely reserved, there are no personnel in them, all of them are loaded with various materials, and it is conservatively estimated that they can be used for scientific research for hundreds of years, and the remaining 2,100 formations are also non-full, even if there is no population limit, these 2,100 formations can accommodate the population growth in the next hundred years!
At present, there are more than 15 billion people in the earth's civilization, which is a very sparse population among the third-level civilizations, even if it grows to 30 billion in a hundred years, according to the calculation of 20 million people living in each formation, it can still be carried down.
Such a relaxed environment can naturally allow scientists to open their minds and work freely.
