Cao Chuan lived on the Hope Star for half a year, this planet has not developed for a long time, but there are so many remarkable things that he is reluctant to leave, besides, where to go? Back to Earth? It's a waste of time to just get here and go back, unless the third generation ship comes out and then thinks about it, or there's an emergency at the base camp of Earth.

The long period of living in this planet has allowed him to see the unknown side of this planet -

Those who stayed away from Hope City and chose to open a mine alone, unfortunately died in the cave collapse and scorching heat.

Those who were completely disoriented in the criss-crossing crystal worm nests and were trapped to death.

When the Centaur Alpha A and B binary structures rotate, when the Hope Star Gong turns to the same side of the two stars, it creates a huge tearing gravity, triggering the victims of violent geological activity.

So far, the number of immigrants who have died unnaturally on the planet of hope has reached 2,000 for decades, which is the casualty figure of a small war, they are pioneers, ordinary people may not have the opportunity to enjoy the services of soul recovery devices, and many more cannot even find their bodies, and of course they cannot be saved.

This is the cruel side of the universe, planet development is by no means a trick, there is no reward without sacrifice, thinking about safe development is completely idealized, and it is impossible to achieve it.

As a result, he can see more clearly the efforts of the immigrants on the Star of Hope, and in an unknown world, the spiritual motivation to fight for their homeland is driving everyone to make the above results together.

Seeing the arrival of August 2111, so far, more than half of the galaxy exploration program has been completed, and the follow-up exploration spacecraft to several more distant star systems will have to fly for another 20 years, 30 years, and the East Galaxy Company will not wait stupidly.

The time has come to determine the direction of new development for the next half century.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Over the past half-century, we've gone through a transformation from solar system development to star development, we've built the City of Hope, and we've seen more than 10 star systems in detail, but I'd like to say that. At this moment, the true face of the sea of stars is revealed to us. ”

"After completing the jump spacecraft, we are in front of a vast expansive star structure covering a radius of 20 light years, an extremely inconspicuous small place on Orion's cantilever, with more than 110 star systems, and even white dwarfs, blue giants, super-massive dark energy tides and other astronomical phenomena, with endless resources. Energy, and even the star of life, are waiting for us to explore. ”

"Now, let's start the process."

After not showing up for a long time, Wang Xian, who was busy with interplanetary trade, ended his short speech, and the 895 official employees of the East Galaxy Company who attended the meeting were connected through quantum entanglement communication equipment.

This time, the amount of information was too large, so when communicating between the solar system and the Centaur Alpha, the transmission of the picture was omitted, and the sound information was only sent point-to-point.

Fortunately, the information to be discussed in advance was shared. The first thing that appears is a zoomed-in map of the Milky Way, with the solar system at its center and a radius of 20 light-years.

Employees see it on the map. Nearly 10% of the planets have been lit up, which means that their exploration has completed the initial exploration with spaceships, and subsequent exploration can be considered; Some galaxies even have two lines between them, which means that interstellar trade can also be carried out; In other places, there is a spatial structure formed by a dotted coil, which represents the stardust material accumulation area and the dark energy tidal activity area.

When the map is displayed in front of everyone at a glance. The following discussion of the follow-up development work of the East Galaxy Company must be carried out with this as the center.

"Barnard Star, no pioneering value confirmed."

"Wolf 359 stars, confirmed no pioneering value."

"Brand's 2147 stars, confirmed to have no pioneering value."

"Sirius A/B, confirmed to have low pioneering value."

"Rutan 726-8A..."

“Ross154…”

…

"Explore through the stars. We found a galaxy that was not included in the HD catalog, and we named it EG000001, and found a pioneering planet around it in the EG catalog, a supplement to the HD catalog. ”

HD Catalog, also known as Henry? The Draber Catalog, the world's first large catalog of stars compiled by the Harvard University Observatory, gives a spectral classification of 225,300 stars, covering the faintest stars of magnitude 9 (most of them are stars in the north sky) with an epoch of 1900.

"As for the four spacecraft that went to the Star of Life to explore, even the nearest Wolf 1061c is 14 light-years away, just halfway through the voyage, and no new results have been reported."

"In addition, even if a few star systems with some exploration value are discovered, if there is no dark energy tide, let us go through the jump, in fact, there is still no exploration value."

On the screen, a series of observations of dark energy tides are highlighted. In the universe, dark energy is widely distributed, but dark energy tides are not, so they saw a route from the solar system to Sirius A/B, with a spatial folding magnification of 8.5, and a route of Wolf 359 across Cowherd with a spatial folding magnification of 3.75... It is the closest to them and at the same time the fastest tide of dark energy.

The employees looked at the above results, just from the above data, the number of planets screened out in the end is definitely not much, no more than 5, they have a way to develop in the past half a century, if you consider the multi-line development ability of the East Galaxy Company, maybe it will have to be reduced.

There is also a way, pull in other countries on the earth, let them fund to buy a few East Galaxy company spaceships, and it is also good to start their star development, share a lot of costs, at most spend trillions, which is not a big problem for some big countries.

Of course, because these countries do not have a complete industrial system of the East Galaxy Company, or because they have accumulated a lot of comprehensive science and technology, they may actually become similar to the Ganges countries that built aircraft carriers, tanks, and fourth-generation fighters, such as the original budget of 5 trillion yuan, but the result becomes 500 trillion yuan, then there is no way.

"Sirius, EG000001, ε of the Wave River, Lacaille9352, that is, the next 50 years of the East Galaxy Company's development plan will revolve around the above places?" The feeling of the employees pondering and being unable to judge is really torturous.

Because the potential of the four places is almost the same, slightly better than the Centaur Alpha, but compared to the planets in the solar system, at most it is another Jupiter, and there is no way to rise to the level of the Earth.

Some of these places have abundant resources, some have thick atmospheres and oceans, some provide endless energy sources of helium-3, deuterium-tritium... Almost all of them have their own characteristics, but basically they are not very suitable for human habitation, and there is no star of life. (To be continued.) )

PS: Check the centaur alpha AB these days, and find that there is only a dozen astronomical units apart, and I feel that there is a bug, of course, there must be more bugs that have not been found
