Chapter 508: Galaxy Exploration Begins
Cao Chuan listened to Massim's introduction of the general plan, and this route was obtained by experts in astronomy after repeated verification and deduction of the quantum logic space.
"Our first phase of work is to develop the Great Magellanic Galaxy (LMC), which is 160,000 light-years away from the Milky Way and contains 20 billion planets, as well as the Spider Nebula, a stellar cradle that may rival the pioneering value of the Nexus, with an expected time spanning 100 years."
"The reason why it was chosen is because the remaining cantilever light in the galaxy does not arouse much interest from the perspective of the general public's cognition, and if they want to lure the public to the extremely difficult area, they would rather choose the central area. On the contrary, if it is the Large Magellanic Galaxy, due to its special status as a dwarf galaxy closer to the Milky Way, it has not been invaded by unknowns; There is also a special position in history, which was early by the ancient Persian astronomer Rahman? Sufi is recorded in the Book of Stars, which was observed by the navigator Magellan of the ancient kingdom of Castile and was named a second time. ”
"The voyage of this shorter exploration plan is relatively simple, starting from the direction of the Citadel, following the direction of the Magellanic Stream, and finally arriving in the Greater Magellanic System, and in general it is an opportunity to test the theory of the Starstream on a large scale."
"Specific to the most important part of the voyage, the Magellanic stream, its length is 1 million light years, longer than the straight-line distance from the Milky Way to the Great Magellanic planet, the mass is equivalent to 200 million times the mass of the sun, it can be regarded as its existence of 200 million stars, but in fact the Magellanic stream is a gaseous stream composed of a higher concentration of hydrogen gas."
"In order to ensure sufficient development progress, we expect to send a fleet of at least 10 starships and 10 million immigrants as the vanguard, who will take root at the edge of the Magellan system and prepare for subsequent migration."
"Subsequently, according to our economic conditions, 100 million immigrants every 10 years will be guaranteed, so that if there is no war within the sub-system, the cumulative population transported over will exceed 2 billion, which is enough to maintain the operation of a comprehensive star government and build a complete industrial system."
"Dean Massim, can you state the threat we may encounter?"
"Accidents aside, the only thing we are worried about is that there are small unknown legions on the route, and our civilian fleet is not enough to fight them, and if the starship is severely damaged, it may cause hundreds of thousands, millions of casualties among the migrants."
"I will contact High Command to escort you, and if there is an unknown legion that intends to attack, we will break through its obstacles and ensure that the immigrant fleet reaches the Great Magellan system safely." "Well, the following is the second stage, the exploration and exploration of the Triangulum Galaxy, a large galaxy like the Milky Way, containing 350 billion planets, more than the Milky Way."
"We will take the Greater Magellanic Galaxy as a starting point, first go to the Magellanic Galaxy, from the perspective of the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Galaxy is actually very close to each other, it is a way, and then use this as a springboard, away from 200,000 light years later, into the Milky-Triangulum star stream, after a total of about 500 years of voyage, our first fleet of immigrants will arrive near the Triangulum Galaxy." "Considering the difficulty of galaxy development, I think it is necessary for us to send multiple immigrant fleets, and I suggest that the second immigrant fleet remain adjacent to the first immigrant fleet, and choose to cut into the satellite galaxy of the Triangulum galaxy near the Pisces dwarf galaxy (LGS3)." "The probability of arriving at your destination safely will be greatly increased."
"The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, it is very young, it has a large number of highly radiating, extremely active blue giants, its overall superweight element richness is 40% higher than that of the Milky Way, and its core is probably more than 10 times more active than the Andromeda Galaxy."
The Triangulum Galaxy is very young, which can also be regarded as one of the evidences that it has not been touched by the unknown, if human beings have a way to settle down in the Triangulum Galaxy in the next few hundred years, and then immigrate to the past tens of billions of people, perhaps this population is not much, relying on the balance of the Triangulum Galaxy, theoretically it can barely resist the impact of the dry tide of civilization, or even let it go, because at this moment, maybe the center of civilization has shifted, and the old world has become more broken and rotten. It's just not now, if the old world is weakened immediately, the East Galaxy Company will definitely face a catastrophe.
"So the same question, going to the Triangulum galaxy, what danger do you think might be?" Cao Chuan asked the same question again.
According to the observations of astronomers hundreds of years ago, the planetary activity of the Triangulum galaxy is quite high, and the galaxy space is full of strong ultraviolet rays, resulting in its purple color. As for whether there are other threats, we may not know, because we know too little about the Triangulum Galaxy. ”
After Cao Chuan listened, "I know clearly, it seems that everyone is ready for this exploration, so let's move forward bravely." ”
"If any enemy dares to stand in our way, crush it."
"The central area will maintain the momentum of development for the time being, and the population here is estimated to explode rapidly to 1 trillion, becoming the new economic center of the East Galaxy Company, but it is a center that may be at risk, it is too close to Ursa's territory, and Ursa, who deeply understands the dry tide of civilization, will definitely find a way to stab us when humanity is weak."
"As for Canaiho, and the Andromeda Shadow behind it, it is estimated that they will do something as well, if they are all hostile to humans, then the central area will immediately become crumbling, and they will all become the source of crisis."
"I still have the board of directors who will try to stabilize the situation in the old world, as long as the impact is not too great, even if it is a loss of control of two planets, I think it is tolerable."
"The Board of Directors is equally interested in taking this opportunity to learn more about the tide of civilization and see if there is any other way to resist its great power."
"I see, Mr. Advisor." Massim bowed his head respectfully: "East Galaxy Company, all mankind will work hard to fight against this tide of civilization." ”
"I don't have anything to ask, so please let the plan go through." Cao Chuan finally finished speaking, that's it, a big event affecting hundreds of millions of human beings is about to be determined.
Cao Chuan is still standing in his office, overlooking the map of the universe, examining the dreamlike appearance of the Laniakea supercluster, and soon, human beings will dispel the fog in this area, light torches, and occupy their own place in the universe. (To be continued.) )
