Prologue: A New Era
Prologue to a new era
In 2557 AD, the universe was infinite, but the environmental space suitable for human survival was limited, and so far, the earth is the only planet suitable for human survival.
With the changes in human history and the rapid development of science and technology, the population growth rate has gone out of control, far exceeding the limits of what the earth can bear, and the living environment of human beings is on the verge of collapse, and a series of problems have erupted......
The gloom has left the earth in a cloud of dark dust, the living environment is poor, the industrialization of cities is covered, the cultivated area is drastically reduced, the lack of food, climate change, and the pressure of life has skyrocketed, resulting in social unrest, uneven distribution of resources, and the world has surged with a wave of protests.
Fortunately, at this time, human aerospace science and technology have matured slightly, reaching the speed of light, under many pressures, all countries announced in advance that they will jointly enter the era of the universe, and make every effort to explore the universe, and strive to find a second planet suitable for human survival and solve the increasing survival problems.
There are eight known planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, of which the Earth is the fifth largest in terms of area, one of the 1.3 million times the Sun.
Eight planets revolve around the Sun, but unfortunately there is no second planet other than Earth that has life or is suitable for human life.
Humanity can only hope outside the solar system and look for a second star suitable for human habitation in the vast galaxy.
......
In 2657 AD, after a hundred years of exploration in the era of the universe, although human beings have not yet found a second habitable planet, aerospace technology has become more and more mature, and finally surpassed the speed of light, researched the method of opening wormholes, and successfully carried out space jumps, expanding the scope of exploration countless times.
However, on the other hand, the earth is also on the verge of collapse, if there is no new habitable planet to reduce the pressure on the earth's living environment, after a hundred years, the earth will no longer be suitable for human habitation, and become a dead star.
......
In 2670 AD, Uy Shield is the largest star known to mankind in the Milky Way, with a mass of about 32 times the mass of the sun, a diameter of about 1700 times the radius of the sun, and a volume ratio of the cubic of the diameter ratio, so it is speculated that the Constellation Uy can easily accommodate 5 billion suns, that is, 6.5 quadrillion times beyond the earth!
Such a supergiant star, how could humans not pay attention, but the Shield Constellation UY is at the end of the stage of stellar evolution, and is spewing out a large amount of gas at a huge rate, and it will definitely cause a terrifying supernova explosion in the near future, at most 100,000 years, less than incalculable, maybe tomorrow......
The Uy of Shields is extremely unstable, and its environment is not suitable for human life. However, in the face of the imminent collapse of the earth, mad scientists still carry out a thorough exploration of all kinds of impossible planets, as long as there is a trace of possibility, they must infinitely amplify this possibility, not for human reproduction, but also for themselves to live, their children to live!
According to previous observations, UY does not have any companion stars, but in the last few hundred years, it has been surprising that in the interstellar dust erupted around the huge Uy Shield, there is a tiny star floating out according to a certain orbit.
To say that it is 'tiny' is that in terms of the size of UY in the constellation Shield, compared to other stars, this companion star is already extremely large, at least tens of thousands of times the size of the Sun and ten million times that of the Earth.
This magical companion star is named 'Phantasmal Star' by scientists, meaning like magic, according to the orbit of Phantasmal Star for nearly 100 years, it will only appear once every 10,000 years, the most amazing thing is that it can be fused with Shield UY, or even completely overlapped, which simply overturns most of the assumptions made by human beings on Shield UY.
Not only that, but humans have even discovered that the phantasmal star will eject a mysterious nebula that covers the surface, allowing the tiny one to escape the gravitational influence of the Shield constellation UY and follow its own orbit. Scientists speculate that this mysterious nebula can even make the phantom independent to a certain extent, and the environment inside the planet will be a different world, and the phantage star cannot be measured by the environment of the Shield constellation UY.
However, it is also possible that the phantasma is just a dust cloud star that has no meaning, a nebula, with no actual matter.
The collapse of the earth is imminent, and for the reproduction of the race, all countries can no longer think too much, as long as there is a slight possibility, they must try, and finally send space troops to carry out wormhole jumping and explore phantom stars.
Entering the phantom star is countless times smoother than imagined, the mysterious nebula did not cause any difficulties to the exploration troops, the situation in the phantom star, so that the exploration is not happy for everyone, this magical planet is not a dust cloud star, but a planet with a substance, and it is very similar to the earth, as if it is an undeveloped primitive earth, but one thing is completely different, it is larger than the earth, ten million times larger, no! or even hundreds of millions of times, the specific number cannot be calculated in a short time!!
The significance of this discovery to human beings is self-evident, although the Shield constellation UY is already a star that has entered the terminal stage, and it may explode at any time, no later than 100,000 years, which is no longer relevant to human beings who have reached the limit of the earth's population.
Migration of phantom stars, there are still tens of thousands of years to develop, looking for a third habitable planet, and if it does not migrate, the earth will not be more than a few decades, it will collapse, to a death star, human beings have no choice, began to migrate to the phantom star on a small scale The population is mainly construction personnel, a primitive planet, if it is not built, it is difficult to be accepted by modern people.
......
In 2705 A.D., the earth was once again at a peak due to population, and the earth could no longer bear it, and it was about to collapse.
The population migration and construction of the Phantasmal Star has only gone through a short period of decades, and it is not mature, and there are still many places that need to be improved, but for the Earth that has reached the limit, the countries have no choice but to decide to take the risk of large-scale population migration, and move the population of various colonies and the Earth to the Phantasmal Star.
A colony base is a temporary residential base established by human beings in outer space, but this kind of base is not self-sufficient at all, and must still be maintained by the resources of the earth.
Therefore, even if the population of the earth migrates to the colony base in outer space, the population pressure on the earth has not decreased much, and the depletion of resources is imminent, and it is helpless to move on a large scale without full grasp.
Fortunately, the migration went smoothly, and the original ecological environment of Phantasmal Star is ten million times better than that of the earth, and now the earth's environment is seriously polluted, and the sky is covered with haze, and newborn babies even have to wear protective masks to survive. On the phantasmal star, the primitive earth, looking up is not the gray haze, but a blue sky, even children will not feel uncomfortable, many people think that the phantasmal star is a planet more suitable for human habitation than the earth.
People all over the world were overjoyed to learn that the phantasmal star migration was successful, and with such a planet that is ten million times better than the earth, everyone believes that the future of mankind will be bright!
But what the world doesn't know is that there is some information about phantasmal stars, which countries and scientists have deliberately concealed and have not released......
In the decades of exploration and development of such a giant planet that is suitable for survival, no intelligent life has been found except for plants!
The Phantasmal Star is primitive, beautiful, and tranquil......
It's just that the tranquility is a little scary, what is the reason why there is no intelligent form of life on a planet that is so suitable for survival, scientists don't know, after all, they have discovered the phantasma star so far, the time is still too short, only a few decades.
According to the theory of stellar evolution, even if it is just an ordinary star, the life cycle is billions of years, and the Shield UY is so huge, I don't know how many years have passed since its evolution, even if the phantasma is just its companion star, but the history is also long and scary, not to mention just a few decades, even if the life history of the entire earth is compared with it, it may not be nothing, human beings have no way to judge, what kind of secrets are hidden in the phantasmal star!
......
In 2735 AD, after decades of uninterrupted migration, one-third of the earth's population has migrated to the phantom star, and tens of billions of human beings have settled in the phantom star, which seems to be a terrifying population, but for the huge phantom star, it is just a drop in the ocean, it is nothing, it can be seen that the phantom star is big!
Because of the drastic decline in population, the limits of the earth have been eased to a great extent, and according to the current progress, complete migration is not a problem, and the humans who have migrated to the phantasmal star are still safe.
In 2755 A.D., this is the implementation of the phantom star migration plan after half a century, more than half of the human race migrated to the phantasmal star, and half of the human beings stayed on the earth, at this time began to appear two factions, the radicals believe that the earth should be abandoned, all human beings migrated to the phantasmal star, where the resources and environment are countless times superior to the earth, the earth is about to be exhausted, it is not worth their nostalgia.
But there are also some people who belong to the conservative faction, half a century has passed, even if some secrets on the phantom star want to be hidden, they can't be hidden, and so far, there is still no second intelligent form of life other than humans. Moreover......
In the first few decades of the migration to Phantasmal Star, there were no problems, but in recent years, some drawbacks have finally been revealed!
The preliminary judgment is that there should be a force in the magnetic field of the phantom star that human beings cannot explain with science for the time being, and this power has no effect on plants, and it will slowly have a negative effect on the intelligent form of life with the ability to think, destroying its ability to think, and even have other effects that they have not found for the time being......
If the speculation is correct, it can explain why there is no intelligent life on the phantasmal star!
For conservatives, the population of the earth has been reduced by half anyway, and the earth can still support a period of time, and they feel that they can use this time to continue to search for new planets until they find a truly safe planet, and they are never willing to go to a planet full of unknown dangers.
The two factions are bickering, but the migration continues, albeit at a much slower pace......
In 2783 AD, when the population migrated to two-thirds, an unexpected accident still happened, a strong cosmic storm suddenly erupted in the constellation Uy, completely destroying all human bases in its vicinity, the stardust storm engulfed the phantom star, the space was extremely unstable, the wormhole could not be opened, and even all communication methods were invalid, and the earth and the phantom star were completely lost!
The humans on Earth didn't know that the cosmic storm that erupted in the constellation Uy in the constellation Shield caused the miraculous changes that they would never have imagined, and this day was called the birth of a new era by the humans on the phantasmal star...... Card Fantasy Era!
