Chapter 660: Set Sail
Solar system, Cooper belt.
The void is about 4.1 billion kilometers away from Pluto.
A star with a radius of 150 kilometers has been devoured by nanobots made of living metal.
This large asteroid, codenamed "Kingfisher Star", has been transformed into an artificial planet densely populated with various facilities.
If it were a Homo sapiens company before it had acquired the technology of intelligent civilization technology, it would take at least ten years to transform such a planet, and this planet was located in the outer layer of the Cooper Belt, before it could reach its current scale.
After obtaining the technology of the intelligent civilization, the speed of its planetary transformation has been increased by several orders of magnitude.
It only took about 4 months to complete the renovation of Kingfisher Star.
At present, the transformation project of Kingfisher Star has been completed, and the original shape of this planet is similar to the pit of almonds, and after the transformation, it has become a near-sphere.
And just above the near-spherical equator of Kingfisher, a huge artificial ring structure is circling around it.
In order to scrape together enough materials to modify Kingfisher, the Cooper Belt Colony Branch mined asteroids within 500 million kilometers of the surrounding area.
At this time, on the artificial star ring of Kingfisher Star, a specially made Tinder spaceship has completed the final maintenance work.
Zhao Changfeng, Dr. Lexington, and others who came from the Saturn Colony Branch through synchronous robots also appeared here.
Los Ali, who had been busy with Kingfisher Star for more than a month, saw the arrival of the two and hurriedly floated over:
"Doctor, this is the final test report, you take a look, there is no problem, I will arrange the launch."
Dr. Lexington took the bio tablet with a very serious expression on his face, and he carefully examined every piece of data in the test report.
This launch is the first time that the Tinder of Civilization has really been put into use, and the previous twenty times were just tests, and there are still some differences.
After reading it carefully, Dr. Lexington signed it: "It's okay, Los, you can arrange the launch!" ”
“OK。” Los Ali nodded.
The Tinder spaceship, carrying the core of the Tinder of Civilization, was dragged onto the electromagnetic acceleration pipeline.
The superconducting coil of the electromagnetic acceleration orbit was quickly activated, and the super Lorentz force pushed the Tinder spacecraft to accelerate slowly.
In the electromagnetic acceleration orbit that circled the Kingfisher Star Ring pipe, the speed of the tinder ship increased little by little.
Until the speed reaches a critical point of 20 per second.
"Orbital!"
"Roger!"
One of the points of the annular electromagnetic track is connected to a linear electromagnetic track.
In an instant, the Tinder spacecraft followed the turning orbit change point and entered a straight electromagnetic orbit, and then three seconds later, it flew out of the linear electromagnetic orbit and rushed into the vast interstellar space.
"Manual Intervention Navigation ......"
"Begin to adjust the direction of flight, the target is next to each other ......"
Start Correcting Proxima Coordinates ......
After 21 minutes, the Tinder spacecraft completed the course adjustment, and its target coordinate system was not the position of the adjacent system at this time, but the correct coordinate system was determined by calculating the position of the adjacent system after 210 years, plus the error of the speed of light information feedback at this time.
If it flies according to the Proximal coordinate system at this time, then the Tinder spacecraft will definitely not be able to meet Proxima after 210 years.
"The heading coordinate system is determined, and it begins to enter acceleration mode......"
"Nuclear fusion power system starts, generating 5% of the power ......"
The Tinder spacecraft's ultra-high-velocity plasma thrusters spit out a long pale blue tail flame, and under the impetus of the plasma, the Tinder spacecraft became faster and faster.
At the same time, a huge umbrella-shaped film was unfolded in front of the Tinder spacecraft, which had a radius of about 1.5 kilometers.
The surface of the umbrella-shaped film is a special magnetic material that can adsorb hydrogen and helium atoms in interstellar space.
These adsorbed hydrogen and helium atoms will be used as nuclear fuel and working fluid by the spacecraft.
Of course, there are some side effects of this, the most obvious of which is that the huge umbrella-shaped film, which collides with stardust particles, will produce weak resistance.
Although this drag is very subtle, it will still seriously weaken the speed of the Tinder spacecraft over time.
However, compared to the obtained hydrogen helium atoms, the rate of loss can still be compensated by secondary acceleration.
In addition, the detection system of the Tinder spacecraft is also turned on around the clock, and the wandering planets along the way are fully monitored.
On the one hand, it is to avoid car accidents.
On the other hand, it is to find larger planets on the way when necessary, which can be used as transit points and supply points.
In fact, there are many wandering planets in interstellar space.
Although most of the wandering planets are asteroids, wandering planets similar to six-clawed giants actually exist, but the number is relatively small and difficult to encounter.
Among the technical data obtained by Homo sapiens is the technology on how to monitor dark stars.
At present, according to the monitoring report of the Space Reconnaissance Department, there are not too many wandering planets in the interstellar space between the solar system and the adjacent system.
One of the largest wandering planets is a dwarf planet with a radius of about 1,736 kilometers, which is 1.23 light-years away from the solar system.
In addition to this dwarf planet, other asteroids with a radius of more than 100 kilometers are 86 in number.
As for asteroids with a radius of less than 100 kilometers, it is very difficult to monitor as they move farther and farther away from the solar system.
For these large asteroids floating in interstellar space, Homo sapiens' idea is to make full use of them.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, after the launch of the first Tinder spacecraft, in less than two months, three more Tinder spacecraft were launched to the adjacent system.
The mission of these Tinder spacecraft is to serve as a backup, and at the same time, they are also responsible for setting up secret supply stations and monitoring stations on large asteroids along the way.
In fact, supply stations and monitoring stations are set up in the dark stars in these interstellar spaces.
On the one hand, it is to supply or repair the follow-up Tinder spacecraft;
On the other hand, it is to monitor interstellar space and provide a guarantee for the security of the solar system.
Finally, there is the purpose of the three holes of the cunning rabbit.
In fact, it involves another sub-plan of the civilization fire - the Dark Star Project.
As the Space Reconnaissance Department conducted a comprehensive and meticulous investigation of the interstellar space around the solar system, a large number of asteroids hidden in interstellar space were discovered.
These asteroids floating in interstellar space, if they are used as resource planets to mine resources, are actually of little value to the solar system and Homo sapiens.
After all, the long-distance transportation has depressed the value of these asteroids, unless they are rare elements.
But if you use these asteroids as secret bases, and then modify these asteroids, using fusion power systems and plasma thrusters, some of the asteroids will be pushed further into the starry sky.
This can be used as a backhand for human civilization, in case the solar system is destroyed one day, human civilization can also use the secret base in these dark stars to make a comeback.
