Chapter 506: Target, Triangulum Galaxy

"We have a lot of options, and with the hundreds of years spent on the fourth-generation spacecraft, we can build a much larger territory. But I remember about 100 years ago, when I talked about looking for traces of those great beings. ”

"Recently, after the exploration of the board of directors, we have a general understanding of the distribution of unknown forces in the surrounding 520 million light-years diameter Laniakea supercluster."

Cao Chuan divides the distribution of unknown forces into three types, the first is the conquered galaxy, a conquered galaxy has at least one deep-diving mother type of residence, or even a great existence, VII.level life, human beings are not worth taking the initiative to collide with, let alone beat, imagine that the total number of unknown legions in a galaxy may be in the order of 10^18, if it is similar to the planktonic type, then it is very likely to increase by a few more orders of magnitude.

The second is to compete for the middle galaxy, then for various reasons, at most only a relatively weak unknown is occupied, even if it has a strong unknown, it may still be engaged in intergalactic wars with other galaxies, and the difficulty of human intervention has dropped sharply, and there will be no cluster-level war zone at most.

The third is the unexplored galaxy, the unknown number here is probably pitiful, or even completely zero, the reason may be that there are a large number of planets with very low exploration value resulting in the unknown and no interest in patronizing, and human beings here will be safer, even if it is a field planted for 1000 years, it is estimated that it will not be disturbed by the unknown.

"If you look at the situation of the Laniakea Supercluster, most of the dwarf galaxies around us are safe, the nearest Andromeda galaxy is extremely dangerous, and the Triangulum galaxy has the potential to develop, otherwise it will be too remote for humans to break away from this galaxy cluster."

Listening to Cao Chuan's explanation, looking at the unknown legions dotted on the map, they were shocked in their hearts, perhaps they had seen too much in the past few hundred years, but they quickly calmed down.

"The Triangulum galaxy is good, big and far enough, and it will be very far away from the effects of the dry tide of civilization, but the distance of 2.6 million light years is too far, and it will take at least 100 centuries."

"Can the words of the dwarf galaxy be attractive enough to attract the participation of pioneers and immigrants? In most people's cognition, the development value of the central region is high, and the dwarf planets are often plundered by the Milky Way, so the exploration value is not high. ”

"I also think that if I had made a choice, I would probably still prefer to stay in the central region rather than go to the remote dwarf galaxy or the end of some other cantilever."

Hearing the emotion of several bigwigs, Masim added: "Wait a minute, I have to add, in fact, intergalactic navigation is not impossible, and we have actually made breakthroughs in related technologies." ”

"The first is undoubtedly the active transition technology, which allows the starship to cross the limit speed between galaxies will be able to reach 2,000 to 10,000 times the speed of light when crossing black holes, and if this speed is used to travel between galaxies, the fastest voyage of 2.6 million light years will only take 260 years."

"Therefore, the biggest difficulty hindering intergalactic navigation is replenishment, if the route from Mars to the ring of Monocerosis is short, there is no such problem, once from the Milky Way to the Triangular Galaxy, 2.6 million light years is too long, even if we have dark energy for energy, as long as there is an accident along the way, then it may cause irreparable consequences, resulting in the infeasibility of intergalactic navigation."

"Here I want to propose a new method of navigation, that is, the scientists' hypothetical star stream navigation, in this galaxy cluster, there are dozens of star streams in the vast void between the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, and the Monocestation ring is just the smaller of them, and there are relatively large Magellanic streams, Sagittarius streams, and pearl streams, some orbiting galaxies, and some wandering between galaxies."

In the early days of the wave of planetary development, some scientists put forward the theory of starstream navigation, with the help of thin interstellar matter to obtain the materials and energy needed for navigation, but unfortunately the theory did not flourish, because the fusion energy raw materials are too easy to obtain, and the interstellar materials are too thin to obtain much usable things.

After rising to the intergalactic space, because the star stream is no longer composed of thin matter, but one planet, the meaning is suddenly different, they can not only provide considerable materials and energy, even if the dark energy supply fleet can not be used, absorb the dark energy of the high-dimensional space, the existence of the star stream also has the advantage of providing a large number of footholds, the spacecraft can be maintained anytime and anywhere, replenish the lost materials, strategic materials, can be divided into a large number of small segments, security suddenly increased.

"In this way, galaxy development can really be considered!" Several bigwigs were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect the Academy of Sciences to give them such a big surprise silently.

"In this way, if we go to the triangulum galaxy, the voyage is expected to be around 500 years, and the time is no longer so difficult to accept, and there is not much risk in moving along the star stream."

"500 years seems like a long time, imagine that our opponent will have to spend hundreds of thousands of years to open up a galaxy, compared to the speed of human beings is fast enough, and this time may only be the time for the tide of civilization to break out and overflow, this is really worth doing."

"Dean Masim, if the Academy of Sciences maps out a route to the Triangulum galaxy for us, does it mean that we can consider a formal implementation?"

"Yes, everyone, the development of the Triangulum Galaxy must be carefully prepared and rely on your coordination, and planning the route is also one of the important steps." Massim replied rigorously.

Listening to the content of the discussion, it seems that the discussion will continue, in fact, the matter is almost decided, Cao Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, maybe there are still a lot of things to be implemented and refined in the future, and it will take a lot of time to continue, he at least knows what direction the human race will move in the future.

"The short-term goal is to try to find a way to deal with the tide of civilization, increase the intensity of development, and the long-term goal is to jump out of the galaxy and go to the Triangulum galaxy to develop, if human beings can keep a low profile enough, I believe that in this place, even if there is a great existence noticed, it may not have a chance to affect us, and this will be the most active way to deal with the tide of civilization."

"It looks like the future will become more and more lively, but unfortunately, even if the Triangulum galaxy develops a balance, due to the dry tide of civilization, human beings will have to stand still for a period of time in the future, and only when the dry tide ends, will it usher in prosperity and prosperity again."
