The reason why I am obsessed with the mysterious coordinates is because if there is hope for human survival in this place, then it is undoubtedly the best of all the options. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is only 14 light-years from the solar system, and even if it is overloaded, the Earth fleet can carry as many evacuees as possible.

Previously, Xiya's predecessor "Dandan" calculated that if the Earth Fleet only carried 300 million people, then the internal resource supply system could fully ensure a permanent cycle, and it would be possible to sail in the universe very comfortably as long as the corresponding energy was simply replenished along the way.

However, if an overload of 1 billion people is carried away, the internal circulation system will not be able to keep up with the consumption of so many people, and the resources will be exhausted after thirty-six Earth years, which requires that a habitable planet must be found in the middle to directly replenish the ready-made materials for direct human use.

Otherwise, the voyage will not be sustainable.

Navigating in space, the planning of speed is another problem that needs to be solved. Faster sailing means more energy is required during acceleration and deceleration, but the journey takes less time.

According to the existing rules of physics, since the mass increases with speed, the higher the speed of light, the more energy required will be exponentially increased, which again indicates that too fast is also undesirable.

In the end, Zhou Chen determined that 0.7 times the speed of light is the best cruising speed to adapt to the current level of science and technology.

If you go to a coordinate location 14 light-years away at 0.7 times the speed of light, it will take 20 years, which is converted into relativistic time, and the internal time of the Earth fleet traveling at 0.7 times the speed of light will only be about 14 years.

Fourteen years and thirty-six years, the difference between the two is more than 2.5 times.

In other words, if the Earth fleet were to embark on an interstellar journey with an open-minded mindset and recklessly carry nearly 2.5 billion people to a coordinate location 14 light-years away.

300 million and 2.5 billion, the gap between this is huge, if you can really transport 2.5 billion people away, basically without causing too much turmoil, you can smoothly carry out the evacuation operation.

Even if you are conservative, the process of transporting 2 billion people away is quite generous.

Of course, the premise of all this is that there are necessary conditions for human survival 14 light years away, and if there are no living conditions, it will take time to transform, and its efficiency will need to be discounted.

On the other hand, due to the size of the universe, even if only 1 billion people are left, it is very difficult to find a transit point for replenishment. Take the red star that Zhou Chen has already selected, this star system is 40 light-years away from the earth, just outside the range of thirty-six earth years, if only 800 million or 900 million people are brought over, it may barely be able to reach it at one time, but it is necessary to consider the time to transform the planet.

So in any case, there must be a resupply on the way to the Red Star.

Since you have to replenish once, it makes no difference if you bring 800 million or 1 billion, and even if you really find a transit star with a suitable distance, you may not be able to bring 200 million more people over if you cut back on food and clothing.

On one side, it is easily more than two billion, and on the other side, it is barely a billion when the organs are exhausted.

The comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of the two is in front of him, so Zhou Chen is really unwilling to give up the exploration of mysterious coordinates as a last resort.

After explaining the relevant matters, Zhou Chen left the command hall first.

As the captain of the fleet and the president of Huaxia University, Zhou Chen's schedule was so full that it was difficult to have free time.

It's not that he doesn't want to be freed from trivial chores, but the position of president of Huaxia University plays a very important role for him.

In ancient times, the protégé of the Son of Heaven was emphasized, before the Song Dynasty, the scientific examination system did not have the palace examination, and the chief examiner had the authority to appoint the new Jinshi, so the successful Jinshi often regarded his rank as a kind of kindness to himself and was grateful to Dade, so the imperial examination became a channel for the chief examiner to form a party for personal gain, establish and cultivate his own power, which was not conducive to the centralization of power of the emperor, and the party struggle between Niu and Li at the end of the Tang Dynasty was a clear proof.

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin in view of this, so he added the link of the palace examination, and finally moved the power to decide whether the candidates could be admitted to his own hands, and the emperor became the final chief examiner, so that all the new jinshi became the emperor's students, and they were protégés of the Son of Heaven, and the object of their gratitude to Dade could only be the emperor, thus avoiding the risk of the court ministers taking advantage of the imperial examination to make it bigger.

Although the future earth fleet is certainly not the ancient imperial power, but the sophistication of human feelings is affecting people's hearts at all times, especially in Zhou Chen's view, the initial construction period of the fleet is the most restless moment in people's hearts.

Zhou Chen has been immersed in Huaxia University for more than ten years, and even went to several other universities such as American University and Commonwealth University countless times to teach, in order to tap his own team.

These students from several universities are all the best of the best and are bound to play an important role in the Earth fleet in the future. They are like shock absorbers, an important cornerstone of the stability of the fleet.

Time flies, two weeks pass in the blink of an eye.

On the side of the Earth Fleet, the monitoring of mysterious coordinates has not stopped. The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Social Sciences began to develop steps for the planning of evacuation routes and how to carry out specific evacuations.

February 26, 2037, is a very ordinary day.

The earth is facing the rising sun, and the moment the horizon is illuminated, a new day begins.

Far away in the orbit of Jupiter, the staff of the Earth fleet, as usual, was reminded by the alarm clock and also realized the arrival of a new day.

The Poseidon is still like an old man in the thick of twilight, holding its pitted body, fishing alone in the cold river, staying in the vast universe. From time to time, there were a few detectors with three horned wings flashing their signal lights, and everything seemed to be in order.

At this time, the internal database of the Poseidon has established a huge three-dimensional sphere with a radius of 3,000 astronomical units through quantum radar.

In the huge sphere, except for a little interstellar gas and small meteorites, there is nothing slightly larger, it seems that Zhou Chen's expectation of the mysterious coordinate point has fallen into the abyss, and there is no room for any turnaround.

Cao Jiangfeng and the others also gave up, and after looking at the monitoring results a few times, they finally shook their heads and no longer had any hope, and devoted themselves to the planning of the Red Star.

But the unpredictability of the universe is like a joke with them, there must be a mysterious force in the universe, just like a child playing with building blocks, grasping some things in the world with his left hand, and grasping some other things in the world with his right hand.

At a distance of 280 kilometers from the Poseidon, that is, the location of the mysterious coordinate point, the originally quiet and waveless cosmic space suddenly had a subtle fluctuation without warning.

This fluctuation is extremely inconspicuous, it may just be an atomic-level spatial beat, but it happens to be captured by the entangled quantum that passes by, so in the three-dimensional sphere constructed by the quantum radar, a strange red dot mark suddenly appeared.

"Squad leader, squad leader, come and see, there's a strange signal reaction!" When the staff in charge of monitoring saw the red dot mark, they struck a spirit and hurriedly called the shift leader.

By the time the shift leader came over, the red dot punctuation had expanded into a macro spatial fluctuation the size of a ping-pong ball, and it was still expanding at a very fast rate.

The squad leader on duty was shocked, how dare he slack off, and immediately notified the Academy of Sciences.

By the time Cao Jiangfeng, Cai Xiaoxi, and other members of the Provisional Committee of the Academy of Sciences, as well as members of the Academy of Social Sciences, who had also rushed over after hearing the news, arrived at the scene, the macroscopic spatial fluctuations had expanded to a sphere with a diameter of 100 kilometers.

"Let the Poseidon retreat immediately! Be fast! ”

Cao Jiangfeng made a decision immediately and gave an order!

At this time, the huge three-dimensional distortion was already close to the area where the Poseidon was located, and if it did not retreat in time, the Poseidon would be in danger of being swallowed up.

With a blue-white tailfire, the Poseidon began to move away from the warp area. However, what Cao Jiangfeng didn't expect was that the three-dimensional distortion seemed to be speeding up, and although the Poseidon was speeding up its withdrawal, it was always sticking to the edge of the distorted space.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Cao Jiangfeng called out eagerly in his heart.

Several times the Poseidon was almost distorted and swallowed, and Cao Jiangfeng's heart rose to his throat.

Finally, after twenty tense minutes, the three-dimensional area finally stopped expanding, and the Poseidon was safe.

At this time, the faces of the people in the command hall showed expressions of surprise and joy, and as the Poseidon escaped, they turned their attention to the expanded three-dimensional area.

"Let the Poseidon go back a little further and observe that area!" At this time, Zhou Chen, who received the notice, also rushed to the scene, and when he came in, he happened to see the scene where the three-dimensional area stopped expanding.

Half an hour later, Poseidon arrived at the best observation position, and then focused on the quantum radar again, and a large number of entangled quanta were released, and a pale spherical area soon appeared on the big screen.

"What the hell is this?" Speculation flashed through everyone's minds.

It's as if a light curtain envelops something, so what is hidden behind the light curtain?

"You see, the area seems to be changing, the light curtain ...... Dissipating? Cao Jiangfeng said in surprise.

Zhou Chen nodded, his eyes staring at the increasingly faint light curtain without blinking.

Finally, half an hour later, the light curtain completely dispersed, and what was behind it was finally revealed.

"Oh my God, what's going on!!"

When the things behind it were completely exposed in front of people's eyes, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Even Zhou Chen was no exception, he looked at the familiar thing in front of him, and his hands began to tremble gently. (To be continued.) )
