Chapter 197: Fear of the Sun
The team spent a full forty-eight hours in New World, gathering a great deal of intelligence in the areas they were able to infiltrate.
Of course, a large part of the important area is also blocked by layers of heavy guards wearing mechanical exoskeletons and holding firearms.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
As more and more data is being collected, all the scientists are in disbelief when they analyze the data.
Research center, conference room.
The heads of each department sat in their seats, analyzing and considering the information in their hands word by word.
As the sun ages too rapidly, the New World will become a huge but faint red giant in about 400 years, and all living things in it will be wiped out.
In the face of this sudden catastrophe, the human organization of the New World decided to use 12,000 planets to push the entire planet out of the solar system and fly to a new home 4.2 light-years away, and this revolutionary romantic plan was named the Wandering Earth Project.
Planetary engines were installed on the New World Asian and American continents, distributed across various plains. Because only the intact and solid plate structure of these two continents can withstand the enormous thrust of the engine on the New World.
The engine is divided into two categories, the larger one is called "mountain", and the smaller one is called "peak", generally speaking, it is a mountain of tens of thousands of meters, made of metal, which stands impressively between heaven and earth, occupying half of the sky.
However, this plan has also led to very serious and bad consequences.
The New World stopped turning after the end of the first phase, and has since become a planet without night, without stars, without spring, autumn, and winter.
There is dusk, but that doesn't mean it's dark, because 12,000 planetary engines illuminate the entire northern hemisphere.
Tides caused by the acceleration of planetary engines engulfed two-thirds of the largest cities in the northern hemisphere, and the global heat from the engines melted the polar glaciers and fueled the floods in the southern hemisphere.
In fact, long after the start of the first phase of the program, their planet has changed beyond recognition, and both the planet itself and humanity itself are looking forward to the future and hope in bitterness.
Now, about three hundred and eighty years later, they have entered the second phase of their plan, the Age of Escape. It is planned to start the planetary engine at full power to accelerate the Earth to escape speed and fly out of the solar system.
Even if the heads of the various departments of the Star Empire were in high positions in the past and had seen many people in the world, at this moment, they couldn't help but move their eyes slightly and their lips were dry because of the facts in front of them.
They probably figured out what kind of crisis the civilization of the New World was going on. But the clearer it is, the more shocked and frightened I feel.
The idea that the civilization of this planet wants to push the entire planet away from its system and go to a new home four .2 light-years away is indeed bold enough.
After a long time, after reading all the information, everyone was silent for a few minutes, and Academician Shi Jing, who was the head of the School of Biomedical Medicine at this time, took the lead in breaking the silence.
"They are afraid of the sun and have abandoned the moon, but that doesn't stop me from thinking they're a romantic civilization."
The female academician's words were very special, but they made many people's frowns relax.
Academician Li Si's eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and then said: "I personally admire them, in the historical records I know, there are very few civilizations that escape with their own planets, and this alone is enough for them to leave a name in the history of the universe." ”
Zhang Ting nodded, agreed, and put forward his views from a military perspective: "For this new world, I suggest cautious approach, they have been forced into a corner, if we use force to forcibly develop, maybe the other party will choose to break the net."
Moreover, from the intelligence, it can be known that the scientific and technological level of this new world is not low, and they have mastered advanced controllable and fusion technology and material technology, and their engineering operation skills are not weak.
From this, it can be inferred that the technology in other areas may not be too bad.
Finally, the surface environment of the New World is too harsh, and if it is not specially modified and trained, the Empire's army may decline in combat effectiveness and cannot maintain its superiority in combat. ”
"I am also inclined to General Zhang Ting's idea that it is not recommended to forcibly develop the New World."
The chief of staff of the Imperial General Staff, Li Guowei, continued to state his reasoning.
"I suggest waiting for a gradual progression and taking it slowly.
At present, the organizational system of the New World is relatively advanced, and the stars will certainly not occupy each other for petty profits. What's more, the specific military strength of the other side has not yet been clearly explored, and it is in an unknown state, so it should not act rashly too early.
Secondly, according to the current situation in our country, there is simply no need for urgent development of the new world.
Now that Stellar has two resource-rich habitable planets in its hands, it has not yet been developed to the fullest, and there will be no very urgent need for the new world for a while.
Finally, according to the available information, the new world is nothing more than technology and talent for the stars.
In the event of a war, it will certainly cause great damage to it. Moreover, once the hostility of the other party is triggered, even if the war is won in the future, it will take a huge amount of energy and resources to deal with it. ”
"Agreed!"
"I agree too!"
After careful consideration, everyone here also agreed that the new world was not suitable for entering the army too early.
"That's a good point, since everyone thinks that force should not be used in the early stage of the new world, we will choose to settle it peacefully, after all, the empire not only has generals who can fight well, but also civil servants who can fight well."
Shen Sen looked around at everyone and smiled, temporarily choosing between war and peace.
"War is not to be taken lightly, and it is naturally best if you can use peaceful means, but in this way, the only way to get the other side's technology at present is trade and negotiation, what do you think the other side needs now?"
Luke, director of the General Administration of Stars Materials, asked the others with a serious expression.
"Food? Pharmaceuticals? Or weapons? ”
"Intelligence is limited, and further investigation is needed."
He Jian, the head of the CIA of the Star Empire, shook his head and gave an unknown answer.
After a series of discussions, everyone still has no clue, and in other words, they are still ready to focus on peaceful contacts for the time being, and then look for opportunities to see if they can have a technology exchange.
At this moment, Shen Sen lightly buttoned the table, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then opened his mouth to say a Chinese character that confused everyone present.
"Wait ......"
"What do you mean, Führer?"
"Pass the order, let the departments not be in a hurry, follow the established plan, continue to make preparations, and then start waiting for the next instruction."
"And then?"
"And then, then we need to wait for an opportunity......"
Shen Sen's eyes were deep, and his pupils seemed to contain infinite secrets in the universe.
