Chapter 688: Running into the distance

No. 34 on the artificial earth.

The young man who had just said goodbye in Zheng Bai's office had already returned to the commander's office through the space elevator at this time.

"Lin Li, have you finished saying goodbye?" Legion Counselor Ah Lang asked with a heavy heart.

Lin Li nodded: "I've already said goodbye to Uncle Zheng, and we should leave too." ”

The two of them went to the main control room of the artificial earth.

Civil Officer Andrew Levsky saw the two walk in and immediately understood that they were about to leave the Superstar Colony Branch.

Lin Li patted the other party's shoulder: "Andrew, the civil work will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry! I'll take care of the internal stuff. Andrew complied with the other party's instructions.

Ah Lang solemnly assured the two: "In terms of public opinion and psychology, I will do my best." ”

"Then please!"

Half an hour later.

Constant sirens sounded inside Artificial Earth 34, and most of the employees entered the safety support chamber as soon as possible.

Only some of the staff who are working are still busy at their posts.

Right now.

Sirens also began to sound at the Superstar spaceport.

A large number of staff members are facing the enemy.

About 12 hours later, eight circular cavities, each 600 kilometers in diameter, slowly cracked open in the surface dome of Artificial Earth 34.

In the huge hollow, there seems to be some kind of horror brewing.

Suddenly, the hole at the north pole of the artificial earth emitted a dense torrent of high-energy particles, and hundreds of millions of tons of hydrogen plasma were ejected in an instant.

Hundreds of millions of tons of plasma erupt per second, and if there is a planet nearby, as long as it is swept head-on, the surface will basically be wiped clean by the torrent of plasma in an instant.

Such a terrifying plasma jet soon pushed the artificial Earth 34 to move slowly in the direction of the South Pole Star.

At the same time, the artificial lunar frigate that circled the artificial Earth 380,000 kilometers away, as well as other space warships, also quickly followed the artificial Earth away from the giant nebula.

Inside the office of Superstar Harbor.

Zheng Bai looked at the No. 34 artificial earth that was gradually moving away, and his eyes were a little complicated and helpless.

As part of the Tinder program, these artificial Earths must leave the giant nebula and must also move away from the solar system.

Moreover, Li Qingye also gave the commanders, psychological counselors, and civil officials of every artificial earth the highest authority, and his status in the artificial earth is a totemic symbol, and he no longer has real management authority.

The reason why Li Qingye made this decision was based on the current level of science and technology of Homo sapiens, and discussed a compromise plan.

He knew very well that even if Homo sapiens increased the limit speed of a spacecraft to 30% of the speed of light, there would still be no way to directly control any planetary system outside of the solar system.

It is obviously inappropriate to rely on the synchronous communication of magnetic monopoles and synchronous robots for a long time.

With the artificial man scheme, the first generation of androids and their second-generation children are fine, but once the third generation begins, the third generation, which has been isolated from the mother planet for hundreds of years, will definitely not have much sense of belonging to the parent planet of the solar system.

While Homo sapiens has biotechnology that can implant a fixed template of loyalty, this thing is a double-edged sword, not only in the process of natural perfunctory, which weakens from generation to generation, but also suppresses the creativity of new humans and causes mental illness.

After thinking about it, Li Qingye decided to let it go, lifted the control of the head office over the androids, and let them set up a completely independent subsidiary on their own.

He then gave the go-ahead to the androids, taking with them all the technology of Homo sapiens, as well as the database that stored the genetic sequences of all the organisms in the solar system, as well as a large part of the data about human civilization.

In other words, every artificial earth is no longer controlled by the headquarters of the solar system, and they go to fend for themselves with the "entrepreneurial resources" allocated by their families.

From then on, the relationship between them and the headquarters of the solar system was that of their own family and their own family, not that of their superiors and subordinates.

Li Qingye gave them freedom from the very beginning, because without faster-than-light travel technology, sooner or later separatism would arise in the colonies of the planetary system.

Rather than turn against each other at that time, it is better to let go from the beginning, and you can also leave a backup of civilization, and at the same time, both sides still have more or less incense.

In the future, if one of the subsidiaries is developed and promoted to the second-level civilization, the benefits of the parent company will definitely be indispensable.

As for whether the spun off subsidiary will attack the parent company in turn, there is obviously such a possibility.

But such a risk is unlikely to occur for at least a few thousand years.

Because Homo sapiens' life technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent decades, the current life expectancy of the population has reached about 482 years.

In other words, the previous generations of androids must have been respectful to the parent company of the solar system.

After that, that's later.

Li Qingye didn't look ahead, after all, if he didn't do this, the colonies of the outer planetary system would have problems sooner or later.

What's more, in order to ensure the development of these subsidiaries, the parent company of the solar system will regularly organize scientific and cultural exchange conferences in the virtual world.

Ensure that each subsidiary can go further on the road of the expedition to the sea of stars.

……

After more than three consecutive hours of acceleration, 0.55% of the solid metal hydrogen stored in the working fluid warehouse was consumed.

More than ten trillion tons of hydrogen plasma were sprayed into the void, forming a stardust tail in the void.

At this time, the speed of the artificial earth has soared to 538 kilometers per second, but it is still far from the extreme speed of light of 1.8%.

With such a huge mass loss, it is natural to be prepared in advance to avoid the impact of the earth's gravity due to the loss of millions of trillion tons of mass.

During the flight, in order to ensure the safety of the artificial earth, the super magnetic field offset shield of the dense surface dome is also running at full capacity.

Bounce asteroids along the way, or shatter them directly through the magnetic shield.

About 26 hours later.

The total control room of the artificial earth.

"Reported that the speed of travel has reached 1.8% of the speed of light."

Lin Li calmly commanded, "Turn off the planetary thrusters immediately." ”

"Yes!"

As the planetary thrusters at the North Pole shut down, the inner walls of the thrusters turned red after the last bit of hydrogen plasma was ejected out.

However, the residual heat from these inner walls is quickly absorbed by the waste heat recovery system.

Several other planetary thrusters were then activated, but they were only activated briefly, mainly to adjust the direction of flight.

The destination of Artificial Earth 34 is a planetary system relatively close to the solar system, and the artificial Earth 34 is still about 8.7 light-years away from that planetary system.
