Summer means launching a spacecraft to Earth now, and when it reaches Earth, don't slow down, move on, go to the next coordinate point, and so on. This will reduce the time by a lot, and at 0.1 times the speed of light, including the time taken to accelerate, it will be possible to pass the Earth in about 50 years with sufficient fuel.

50 years later, summer will be able to go to Earth at will by entering and exiting the secret realm of the small universe, and it will arrive instantly. Named the spacecraft "Wayfinder" in the summer, the Wayfinder, after reaching a maximum speed of 0.1 times the speed of light, will fly by inertia, non-stop, and when it reaches Earth, the coordinates will be re-marked through quantum communication. Once the marker is complete, move on to the next stop, non-stop, station by stop, until you run out of fuel. This process can take thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.

Among the more than 30,000 coordinates recorded in the Secret Archive of the Firmament, the farthest from the Lighthouse Star is more than 10,000 light-years. These coordinate points are basically in the center of the Orion Arm.

In addition to sending ships to Earth to mark coordinates, more ships are planned to be launched in the summer to mark other coordinate points. This matter is a top secret within the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows about it except for Wu Ruize and his four henchmen.

Speaking of this, Xia said: "So Old Wu, in this way, before the Star Worm reaches the solar system, it is possible for me to rush back with my fleet to support you." ”

Wu Ruize sighed and said: "I think it's a bit hanging, more than 40 years have passed since you and the star worm encountered, and you have to wait for 50 years, I am worried that the star worm has already arrived in the solar system before the 50 years have arrived." ”

"It's my fault, if I had thought of this as soon as I got the Vault, then I would have been able to shorten my time by nearly 20 years, and it would have been more likely that the Star Worm would have rushed to Earth to support before it reached the solar system." ”

Wu Ruize said: "This is all the will of heaven, let's just follow the will of heaven." As the saying goes, when water comes to cover the earth, soldiers will block it. All I have to do now is make the solar system's defenses a little stronger. ”

The two drank and chatted, and after chatting, Summer summoned all four of his henchmen to discuss the dispatch of the spaceship to mark the coordinates. In fact, this matter was not thought of by the summer, but it had been brewing in his heart for some time.

For the future, he must have a strategic plan and deployment. If the Ming Dynasty wants to develop and grow, it must not only be stationed in the three-star system on the other side, but must march into the vast universe.

In addition to sending a large number of spaceships to mark the places recorded in the Secret Archive of the Firmament, where Da Ming should go next had to make a plan in advance at this time, so in this five-person group meeting, Xia said: "Ten years later, it is to meet the invasion and resistance war of alien civilizations. If we can win this war, I estimate it will take at least 10 years to recover. So, in my vision, there will be a cosmic migration in 20 years. ”

Su Yu asked, "But my lord, why can't we move in ten years, so that we can also avoid this war." My lord, my colleagues, it's not that I'm afraid of war, after all, the enemy's strength is unknown, wouldn't it be better if we can hide? ”

Xing Wen said: "But the strength of our current fleet is not strong enough! Leaving the other side prematurely, the population, ships, weapons, and various resources have not yet reached saturation. And on the way of migration, it is impossible to replenish it. ”

In interstellar travel, resources are a very important expense. Resources include energy and materials, and the consumption of resources is very large in navigation and war, especially in the event of war, and resources are consumed at a terrifying level.

Interstellar navigation, on the other hand, is basically interstellar navigation, that is, the voyage of a fleet between two stars. It is well known that the distance between two stars is often measured in light-years (except for binary, three-star and multi-star systems). Traveling between light-years, or even tens and hundreds, is basically an empty space, that is, there is nothing at this distance.

And this interstellar course is decades or hundreds of years at every turn, and navigation requires great resource consumption, and only consumes no supplies on the way to sail. If the resources are exhausted before reaching the destination, then the fleet is very dangerous.

Therefore, Xing Wen is so worried, the current Ming fleet is still in the development stage, and the resources needed for migration are far from enough, and it is simply unimaginable to bring the entire civilized population to migrate safely at this time.

"So, we can't leave for the time being, because the resources we need are far from enough," Summer said. Together, there are 40 million people in the Odlais and WindClan, right? ”

"It's about 42 million," Lu said. ”

"With such a large population, it takes five Bastion-class ships to load it," Summer said. The so-called fortress-class spaceship is still in the design blueprint, and the first interstellar fortress "Lighthouse Star" is under construction, which can accommodate 10 million residents to live in it, and in the case of saturation of resources, it can sail continuously for more than a hundred years, while also ensuring the stable life of the inhabitants inside.

Starfortress is actually a space city, and the hull length of the "Lighthouse Star" is about ten kilometers, which is about the same size as the Dream Chaser. There are multiple layers of structure, and each floor has a series of complete commercial systems such as farms, imitation clothing, retail, transportation, banks, etc., to maintain the economic life of the space city.

Although the space city is well-equipped, there are some things that are not available, such as factories with industrial pollution. As for things like mines, factories are built on planets, or when interstellar travel, there will be special factory ships. And the city where the population lives should be absolutely pollution-free paradise city.

The total population of Lighthouse Star plus the Ming Earth is more than 40 million people, but it is not just about building five fortresses. These five forts also need a strong navy to escort them. Every starship needs to be guarded by a Dreamcatcher-class starship and mothership battle group, and without a strong navy to defend it, it is not a fortress.

Moreover, in the next twenty years, it is not enough to build more than five fortresses, because, in the next twenty years, there will be a geometric breakthrough in the population, in the summer's estimates, in twenty years, the earthlings alone will reach more than 1 billion terrifying-level numbers, and to load so many humans, at least more than a hundred interstellar fortresses are needed.

As a result, in the summer's mind, the "Locust Project" began to brew.

Love is like picking fruit, picking it too early, the fruit is not ripe, bitter and astringent, and difficult to swallow; If the harvest is too late, the fruit is fully ripe, and it will either slip off the branches or have been preempted by others. Picking fruit at the right time is both a kind of wisdom and a kind of fate. In this life, it is not easy to pick a hearty fruit, and it is purely a kind of creation to be able to hold it in the palm of your hand when the fruit is the most abundant.
