The Dragon Wing engine has unparalleled superiority, and the plasma that was once directly discharged will be reused by the magnetic engine to form an anti-gravity magnetic field environment. In particular, with the development and establishment of the gravitational representation formula, the magnetic engine technology has been further improved.

The Hope spacecraft is eight times larger than the original Civilization spacecraft, and the habitable space inside has reached a terrifying 300,000 square kilometers, with several habitable layers surrounding the outer walls of the spacecraft, allowing 500 million people to live in it easily. This is actually a veritable artificial planet!

When the Hope spacecraft was first built, it was built directly in the low earth orbit of Mars, because the solar gravity here is much smaller, and the time to get rid of the sun's gravity will be much shorter and easier.

Powerful scientific and technological forces can ensure sufficient energy and food for human beings to survive healthily in space.

The pale blue flames and the sun sails that obscured the sky and the sun, everyone who saw the departure of the Hope spacecraft unconsciously exclaimed.

Compared with the Civilization spacecraft, the scene of the Hope spacecraft is even more grandiose!

In order to provide sufficient light pressure and to save energy as much as possible, a total of 12 sets of huge mirrors were set up along the orbit of Venus, each of which was composed of tens of millions of small lenses, and their diameter was as high as 25,000 kilometers, almost twice the diameter of Venus! Its focused sunlight is emitted directly into the sky, pinpointing it to the solar sails of the Hope spacecraft. The gold-plated sun sails sparkle like gods. Full of alternative majesty. In low-Earth orbit, the spacecraft's solar sails are more than ten times larger than the sun, and the reflected light even causes the temperature of the Martian atmosphere to rise briefly.

The spacecraft was launched on Mars, but the light from the orbit of Venus had already set off ten minutes earlier, shining accurately on the huge solar sails to propel the spacecraft to accelerate. The power of science and technology has begun to show its unique charm!

Under the influence of the solar sail and the dragon's wing engine, the Hope spacecraft actually rushed directly to the constellation Aquarius in an almost straight direction.

The Civilization spaceship of the year. It even needs to hover within the solar system. This increases the light duration of the solar sail and increases the speed of the ship. And now, with the second spaceship, the technology of the empire has made a comprehensive breakthrough; The ship rushed out almost in a straight line. The overall acceleration is as high as 8 m/s^2. It is already relatively close to the standard gravity environment of the Earth. That's enough for a year to keep humanity alive and healthy -- a year from now, when the spacecraft will reach 0.6 times the speed of light, and the spacecraft will begin to spin artificial gravity. At the same time, the spacecraft will turn off its engines and move forward in space entirely by inertia.

0.6 times the speed of light, which is more than the set speed of 0.55 times the speed of light for the Civilization spacecraft. But the Hope spacecraft is also powerful enough to ensure that when it slows down, there will be no accidents - for example, if you accidentally go too fast and overshoot: after crossing the target, you will rush back into the sky!

Because of the rapid acceleration, when the spacecraft had reached the orbit of Jupiter, there was still a sparse tail gas and a long tail composed of water vapor, like the tail of a comet, connecting the orbits of Mars and Jupiter on the launch base of Mars.

Zhang Wenliang stood next to the porthole, quietly looking at the dark cosmic space. Years of exploration have allowed the Empire to grasp most of the phenomena and laws in the solar system. However, Zhang Wenliang is now more contemplative! This time, looking at my father's face, it didn't seem to be so easy.

This trip to the Aquarius EZ galaxy to save the elves is the most important action in the history of human civilization, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, we must try our best to create a peace-loving banner for mankind; Of course, it is better to succeed, and it can also add a kind of intelligent life to the empire - provided that this so-called elven race is really "cute"; Otherwise the empire doesn't mind resorting to means to make you "be" cute!

As the second emperor of the empire, Zhang Wenliang was qualified enough to represent the empire as an envoy to Aquarius, and he had enough status to command those cultivators. In addition to this, it is also considered that since we want to integrate a race, we need dialogue on an equal footing, even in the form of oppression; And sending ordinary princes and grandchildren, ordinary nobles, etc., is obviously not qualified enough.

"Hey, forget it, the spaceship has already taken off, and it's too late to say anything. It's better to hurry up and elevate your cultivation to the Yuan Infant Stage. However, he actually sent out half of the cultivation masters of the empire, did his father make a fuss? Zhang Wenliang muttered a few words, turned around and left.

After Zhang Wenliang left, Gao Chengyang came to the porthole soon after, looking at the starry sky, his eyes were full of excitement. was released from a critical illness by the master back then, and gave the family a new life and hope, so that Gao Chengyang completely dedicated his loyalty to the master. Even, for this reason, it took nearly a hundred years to create and sort out the cultivation world of the empire.

But in this era of space, in this era of interstellar expansion, every boy has an ambition in his heart - to go out! Go and see the outside world.

And now, finally, there is a chance. Although the master estimated that there would be a fierce battle, the more he fought, the more excited the hot-blooded man became! (Well, the table xiàn on the battlefield is excluded). And for Gao Chengyang, as the second master of the empire who has begun to impact the Yuanshen stage and is second only to his master, he also has his own dream of the starry sky.

I want this universe to leave my own legend! Looking at the starry sky outside, Gao Chengyang secretly set a goal for himself. With a strong cultivation and a long lifespan, then the next step must be the pursuit of fame and fortune; But in this era of interstellar expansion, what could be more exciting than being a national hero!

In May 97 of the Imperial Calendar, after more than a standard year of acceleration, the speed of the spacecraft climbed to 0.6 times the speed of light, and at this time, it was just enough to break free from the influence of the solar system. The spaceship is like a ghost in the starry sky, under the field of vision of the astronomical telescope in the solar system, it flickers a few times and then disappears completely!

As the predetermined speed is reached, the solar sail is gradually retracted. The ship turned off its engines and fell silent. Perhaps, the sudden slow rotation can also show that this cold-looking object is actually the product of a peak technology!

230 km in length, 80 km in diameter! The Hope spacecraft is like an artificial planet, rushing out of the solar system in one go!

With the departure of the Hope, people's eyes began to turn to Earth and several group companies of the Empire!

After all these years of development, the Earth finally made up its mind to build a spaceship, and they also borrowed from the experience of the Empire to collect ores, meteorites, etc. from outer space. as a material; The moon today. After many discussions between the two countries, it will be permanently preserved as a reserve resource - the moon, the sustenance of mankind's good wishes; If there are no accidents, humanity needs to ensure that the moon lasts forever!

However, the spaceship built by the Earth encountered an extremely awkward situation - how to use it!

Exactly. The spacecraft is 70 kilometers long and 20 kilometers in diameter; The rated capacity can reach 8 million. Barely counted. It's enough for a complete civilized immigration. But now there is a very awkward question: where should the spacecraft, named "Light", fly? Several life planets that have been discovered around have all been spotted by the Huaxia Empire. Apparently there is nothing to do with the republic. Not to mention, Earth's "tiny" spaceship doesn't have the ability to travel more than a dozen light-years!

However, the wisdom of all the scientists on Earth should not be underestimated, and they decided to take another path of development - to artificially build habitable planets in a stable single-star system, imitating the means of the Empire!

Now the technology of the Republic, of course, has surpassed the technology of the original empire, and the construction of the planet is still somewhat certain. But whether it can succeed or not is really expected to be the result.

Earth's Bright spacecraft is targeting Barnard's Star, the closest single star system to the solar system, about 6 light-years away, and this star is 10 billion years old, but it is still in its prime because of its small mass and weak nuclear reaction. In recent years, scientists have observed that there are also rocky planets - terrestrial planets - in the inner side of this galaxy, but they are not suitable for life. And the goal of the earth this time is to directly drag the planet with a spaceship to collide and forcibly transform the living planet, hoping to get a settlement suitable for human beings.

In this, the Earth was ahead of the Empire - the first to decide to build planets fit for humanity outside the solar system; To this end, the Republic also purchased technology and equipment from the Empire to artificially activate lightning.

But strictly speaking, this is a loophole for the Republic! While the Empire is at war and busy shaping a future for humanity, the Republic is "stealing"; For this reason, the citizens of the two countries quarreled online. The empire, which had two planets and whose population began to climb to 15 billion, finally won the Earth in a quarrel......

In fact, in reality, many people are not optimistic about such reckless behavior on the part of the republic. The empire was not without consideration, but in the end gave up! The Empire's concern is simple - are you sure there's enough rocky material there for you to build a planet? Also, it takes ten years to build a planet, even an empire! It's still within the solar system.

And if you are in the cosmic environment, there is only one lone spaceship, which increases the difficulty of this operation by hundreds of times! Even if it's scientifically possible, do you take into account the fatigue of human beings?

Trying to get through a spaceship, gather resources in space, and expand in space is obviously beyond the capabilities of humans today. And the Republic, in such a hurry, made the Empire express concern.

But to be honest, Zhang Wenfeng can understand the concerns of the earth's leaders - the empire with the same roots has begun the second expedition, and the third expedition is also being prepared; And the earth is still going round and round. Even when the Empire was considering building about one or three planets of life in the former asteroid belt, the Republic still had only one Earth! The citizens of the republic have also expressed concern several times: because Zhang Jingyuan and other leaders of the older generation are still alive, friendly relations between the empire and the republic are maintained; So what will happen to the empire if these people leave? Maybe they will tear up the entente and annex the earth!

It was under such circumstances that the Republic resolutely decided to go to Barnard Star to build a living planet! A big part of the progress of science comes from adventure! (To be continued......)
