Chapter 298: The Stars

In more remote planets of Sirius, a United Nations exploration team supported by the Eastern Galaxy Company is completing the first extrasolar exploration.

Imitation of the Changyang-class spacecraft independently designed by the East Galaxy Company a hundred years ago, combined with the Higgs particle generator and other advanced equipment imported from the East Galaxy Company, this joint operation was cobbled together, which carried 10,000 scientists, engineers, businessmen, adventurers, artists and other earth humans from 21 countries who volunteered to immigrate here.

Sirius is undoubtedly the most attractive planet in the starry sky, a huge star A that radiates a faint blue light, with a diameter of 2.5 million kilometers and 26 times the brightness of the sun; Star B in the white dwarf stage is about the size of Earth, but has a mass of 350,000 Earth, and together the two stars form the Sirius star system.

Sirius, after 30 years ago, the preliminary exploration results of the unmanned spacecraft show that there are a lot of things to study here, it has scientific research value, has considerable resource output, is regarded as a key node on the outer edge of the solar system, has a certain transportation hub value, and has extremely important political significance for the earth countries that have been stagnant in the solar system for 100 years.

After the matchmaking of the East Galaxy Company, it finally spent nearly 1 trillion yuan to form such a United Nations team to go to Sirius, an alternative planet, to explore.

10,000 is a considerable number, and as you will see in many cultural products, 500 people can create a huge industrial empire, so it didn't take long for 10,000 people to reach an asteroid about 30 astronomical units from Sirius.

Dense underground bases, power stations far from the city, airports to welcome spacecraft, space stations dedicated to scientists...

The only discord is. With participants from as many as 21 countries, collaboration is often problematic and reduces productivity.

On the other hand, nationalism will bring small groups together to ensure the mood of work and increase work efficiency. Produce amazing results.

These are the things that amazed Hesim, who was an observer of the East Galaxy Company, so he had to tolerate the tendency of division within the Pioneer Team, and it was a big deal to spend a little more time, guidance, and technical and experienced support to get his job done.

During the development of Sirius, perhaps because they saw the generosity of the East Galaxy Company, many countries gritted their teeth and wanted to participate in the development, anyway, they gained 10 times from the exploration of the planet. 100 times the benefits, and a high-profile announcement of participation in Stellar Pioneering, can instead allow them to gain more support.

Each year, 1 ship will bring 20,000 new immigrants, and it will become more and more prosperous, and when enough industrial base is established, Sirius will become a springboard for humanity to reach more distant star systems. Maybe here, like Centaur Alpha, will get a second chance to develop.

ε of the wave seat. Another pioneer team sent by the East Galaxy Company was the latest to arrive here, and it was a long journey of 25 years, crossing the boundary of 10 light years to this vast starry sky.

The constellation Poe does look very empty ε, and if you look at its digital map, you can see that its stars are removed. It's a myriad of gravelly asteroids.

And it is on these asteroids that the discovery of a large number of superconductors at room temperature will bring them rich returns. The Eastern Galaxy Company was cautious when it first developed Centaur Alpha, but as they gradually gained experience in stellar development, the speed became faster and faster.

As a result, the first batch of immigrants as an advance team consisted of 20,000 people. It was 20 times the original planned number, but it took less than one month to build a 10-square-kilometer main city on the planet, and it took two months to burrow and explore nearly 50 asteroids around it, and at least 10 sub-bases were established.

Everyone has endless tasks waiting for them to complete, but at the same time, it is not only the sense of mission, honor, but also the interests that stimulate them.

If they have the opportunity to carry through the first 10 years, everyone will become multimillionaires, and on Earth, or relatively comfortable, the moon city that has completed the development of the city, the paradise city of the world, this kind of national prosperity is simply impossible.

There is a reason why they are developing so quickly, because they arrived at the ε of Pojiangza too late, they have no more time to waste, and they plan their flights for the next 10 years early, from the second batch of immigrants, the third batch of immigrants, the fourth batch of immigrants... And then to the first batch of trade ships, the second batch of trade ships...

If you don't hurry up, it's like a long chain, and if you break it, a big problem will occur, affecting the entire development progress, and even every few years in the future, a new star system may be preliminarily explored and completed, to confirm whether there is exploration value, and if it has not developed here, it will affect the overall situation.

The universe, with the solar system as the radius of 10 light years, forms a trade route between two stars, one connects the solar system, Centaur Alpha, and the deep space road, which is the main artery of future interstellar trade; The other, which connects the Earth, EG000001, Sirius, Pojiang ε and other places, is more scattered and rugged, and can only become a relatively inconspicuous trade route.

There are now more than 20 Yuanyang-class spaceships, 70 Changyang-class spaceships, and 200 Hengyue-class spaceships sailing in these places.

This figure is equivalent to 1/2 of the total tonnage of spacecraft in the current solar system, equivalent to 1 million tons of annual capacity, and even 100,000 migrants will be sent to the more distant universe.

1 million tons is equivalent to the annual consumption of food by 1 million people, equivalent to 500 million personal computers, equivalent to 100,000 crystal worms, equivalent to 50 million pieces of protective clothing, and equivalent to 100,000 sets of industrial equipment......

Among them, more than 80% of the spaceships come from the trading department of the Eastern Galaxy Company, forming a total of 4 interstellar trade fleets, relying on the huge body of the Eastern Galaxy Company to produce such a majestic number.

However, the trade sector is clearly not satisfied with its current achievements, and it is clear that they have amassed a considerable amount of wealth over the past hundred years, and that they will certainly find a way to expand it in the face of the rise of stellar development.

The goal is to build 100 Yuanyang-class spaceships in the next 20 years, which means that there will be five Yuanyang-class spaceships with a load capacity of 550,000 tons and a crew of 150,000 people every year. (To be continued.) )
