Chapter 481: The Highest Point of the Milky Way
After the home-class starship arrives at the jump channel, unload the next batch of people and supplies; Immediately, it was replaced with a new batch of people, supplies, and appeared in the ghost star cluster after less than half a year of sailing.
After nearly 100 years of development, the Ghost Star Cluster has become an emerging region under the jurisdiction of the East Galaxy, which not only produces all kinds of resources that are scarce in other regions, but also connects many regions, and has become a paradise for pioneers.
However, the Ghost Cluster can actually develop faster, which many people recognize, because the transition channel restricts the flow between the two places.
The new Gen 4 ship is different in that it is more efficient to carry and can easily fully load all the critical supplies that can be consumed by a planet for several years, just through a single jump channel.
Therefore, this time, the home-class starship also carried additional materials for a political agreement reached between the Ghost Star Cluster and the Moon Star Government, with the goal of assisting in the development of the Ghost Star Cluster.
In return, the various municipal governments under the management of the Ghost Star Cluster will form sister cities with the multiple municipal governments under the management of the Moon Star Government, and promote the common development of each other's industrial, agricultural, and service industries.
After about 2 months of sailing, the starship came to the star government, and after staying for 3 months, the homeland-class starship actually sailed for nearly 1 year, during which most of the minor problems exposed were solved by Cao Chuan, so that the starship was further perfected.
"Fourth-generation ships... It's about the same. Many of the bigwigs pondered.
Indeed, this is the case, the reliability and value of the fourth-generation spacecraft have been reflected, if it is not put into trial production, is there anything that must be done?
Including the people at the bottom, they have withstood the information bombardment of enough fourth-generation spaceships because of their ears and eyes, and they habitually expect such super-era engineering technology that will change the world.
Wang Xian estimated simply. Probably within this year, they may receive an order for the production of about 5 or so Homeland-class starships, and at least 100 upgrade orders, which actually says something.
Including Cao Chuan himself feels that the time is ripe, and he can easily put other models later. For example, if the national R&D is handed over to the Academy of Sciences, I can patiently wait for the storm of the fourth-generation spacecraft to sweep the world, and then slowly subside...
But before he made a decision, Cao Chuan hesitated a little, according to the plan, he still had one more thing to do, which was to accompany Major General Fenrir to complete the final mission of this prototype spaceship.
However, the needs of the fourth-generation spacecraft are so important. At Wang Xian's request, he still agreed to "allow" the development of the fourth-generation spacecraft first, so that it could enter the trial production stage.
The frontier of the Ghost Star Cluster, an unnamed planet, at this moment most of the crew of the starship has left, leaving only a group of pioneers and soldiers, who will carry out the final mission of this fourth-generation spaceship trial.
Everyone was extremely excited about the opportunity to go on a mission on such a starship.
Xiao Guanhai blessed them, even if they used the fourth-generation spaceship on this voyage. Still too far away, he only had remote control.
Cao Chuan is relatively free. And can use consciousness to descend at any time, in this way, of course, you can do whatever you want, of course, you have to follow the starship.
Their destination is the mysterious planet named Mars the Light, which geographically is 100,000 light-years in diameter. At its thickest point, the highest point of the Milky Way, 12,000 light-years, is suspended high above the silver disk, 1,800 light-years away from the ghost star cluster.
At the same time, it is less than 3,000 light-years away from the intergalactic battlefield, and it is still the closest place to the Canis Major Galaxy.
This will be a new place for observers to work. Not only will they be able to understand the movements of the battlefield from a third-party perspective, but they will also be able to try to observe the miniature dwarf galaxy of Canis Major, or even go there, and lurk their own hands into the lair of another deep-diving mother.
Although it will be a little difficult, after all, the gap between the two places would take 400 years if it were to pass through the fourth-generation ship, and it would undoubtedly be difficult to travel to the system unless there is some other way.
However, there is no doubt that the East Galaxy still needs to set up a work point here, which will allow it to form a corner with the work point in the central area, so as to better carry out their observer plan.
A turbulent dark energy tide guided the Home-class starship to its fastest speed, and after 10 years of sailing, they took a small break and turned to embark on the other side of the dark energy tide, and after another 5 years came to the light Mars.
Mars is an ordinary planet, but it does not orbit any stars, it is so lonely that it would have taken 50 years for humans to send personnel here if they had not mastered the technology of the fourth generation of spacecraft.
The Home-class starship was quickly loaded with supplies to come in handy, and a purely military base was built in the orbital space of the planet, enough to accommodate the daily life of 500,000 people.
For the time being, the soldiers of the three brigades sent by the Havoc Fleet are responsible for guarding the town, and when their stationing time is up, considering that the fleet should not interfere in local military affairs, and the garrison of the Havoc Fleet is not here, they will form their own troops locally or readjust the area of responsibility of each fleet.
For the time being, the work of this group of soldiers is simple and complicated, including patrolling the surrounding area of 10 light-years and keeping a surveillance of the surrounding space of 500 light-years, but so far, mankind has fought a lot of cosmic wars, most of which stay in interstellar wars, and they are actually confused about how to unfold and how to deal with the war at the galactic level.
If there is any more advanced military theory guidance, it will make the minds of these soldiers clearer, and the meaning of their existence at the moment is probably more out of psychology for humans, thinking that there are still small forces above the heads of the human world that can block the last few days, even if the deep-diving mother finds out about the existence of humans and intends to fight on two fronts, they will not be defeated.
The busiest were the 300,000 Pioneers on the starship, most of whom were working to connect the lights of Mars with the Ghost Cluster, including the construction of the planet, the construction of more public facilities, and the construction of more front-line camps along the route to keep the traffic environment in the area from being too harsh.
The pioneers will be separated by 5 years, constantly transporting necessary supplies to come over, replenishing personnel, and bringing back soldiers who have completed the defense and retreated.
In this way, the initial pioneering work of Lantern Mars ended in a clean manner, and Cao Chuan and Fenrir stood in the military fortress, overlooking the starry sky in the distance.
"Now that the construction of the work point facing the direction of Canis Major is complete, the next thing for humanity is to explore." Cao Chuan said.
With so many observers, they will certainly be able to dig up more information from this side of the Canis Major Galaxy, and if humanity has the opportunity to do something, it will definitely be beneficial for the future situation.
That being said, after Rear Admiral Fenrir finished his lecture to the troops stationed here for 50 years a few days ago, he had more of a fourth-generation ship in mind.
Of course, he had been in contact with Xiao Guanhai, and probably knew that their fourth-generation spaceship basically didn't have any problems, and the next thing was to wait for patience to spread.
Since it was not a time of war, he knew that he couldn't rush too quickly, so he had already reacted at this time and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
Out of the Milky Way, the location of the lamp Mars can be described as unique, "down" can overlook the complete disk of the Milky Way, see what this place where human beings were born is like, "up" through the vague red stardust material, you can see the distant Canis Major Galaxy, its volume is 1/150 of the Milky Way, so it seems much smaller.
However, it is very beautiful, the scene scattered in the universe like the clouds in the early morning, hazy, ups and downs, it is like a poetic landscape painting, it is pleasing to the eye, if it is not for the fact that there is an unknown that is several orders of magnitude more than the number of planets, I am afraid that the lantern Mars has a chance to develop into a similar cosmic landscape viewing point.
