Chapter 359: Alien Colonization
After arriving at the planet of Behemoths, the First Emperor spacecraft stayed for a full year before returning to Earth.
In this year, except for a few months spent on the repair and maintenance of the First Emperor spaceship, almost all of the rest of the time was used to house the tens of millions of immigrants from Earth.
As the most powerful war weapon of the earth's civilization on the giant beast planet at this time, the existence of the First Emperor is the most solid backing and the most powerful security guarantee for the earth's immigrant seeds.
Under the protection of the wings of the First Emperor's spaceship, all the immigrants woke up in batches, and were effectively resettled at a rapid speed, with the help of various large construction machinery, so that such a huge number of immigrants have a safe living environment to the greatest extent, and also have the initial source of living materials.
After all, on a planet that is not fully adapted to human existence, in order to create a large-scale, safe and reliable survival and production base, not to mention the effective resettlement of immigrants, but also to preliminarily plan some seeds of the initial industrial system, the work required in this can be described as a lot, full of all kinds of cumbersome, Trivial work, but also full of countless dangerous crises, without the first emperor spaceship as the core of the security system, as well as the first emperor spaceship stored inside the various key production and living equipment, to let this tens of millions of people safely take root and survive on the giant beast planet, it is simply impossible.
It must be known that on the giant beast planet, in addition to all kinds of unimaginable monster threats on the earth, all kinds of large and small insects, strange poisonous animals and plants, there is also the most headache problem of toxic air components that are quite threatening to the human body.
However, after all, the reserves of various living materials on the First Emperor spaceship are only a small part, and the stock of various key equipment is relatively insufficient, so it can only provide the most core and convenient support for the immigrants in some of the most core and key links, so that the immigrants can take fewer detours, but if you want to meet all the needs of the immigrants, it is obviously impossible, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.
It is conceivable that if we only rely on some reserve equipment on the First Emperor spacecraft to fully complete the safe resettlement of the new immigrants, I am afraid that the First Emperor spacecraft will at least stay on the giant beast planet for an extra year or two, which will greatly delay the work efficiency of the immigration spacecraft and waste valuable long-range interstellar transportation resources.
Fortunately, in order to ensure similar interstellar migration work, the Earth civilization has made sufficient preparations in advance, which greatly reduces the workload of the management team on the First Emperor spaceship.
In fact, many years ago, while the earth civilization was carrying out detailed exploration and investigation of the giant beast planet, some fruitful long-term work projects had been launched in advance.
The Giant Beast Planet is 20 light-years away from the Earth, which can be described as quite far away, and with the technical level before the Earth civilization failed to complete the production and construction of faster-than-light spaceships, the only way to reach this planet is to send a regular long-range unmanned spacecraft to conduct an investigation in advance.
The flight principle of the conventional type of spacecraft is to rely on the injection of ultra-high-speed material flow to the rear of the spacecraft, rely on the reaction force to continuously accelerate the flight speed of the spacecraft, and finally accelerate the spacecraft to a fraction of the sub-light speed state, relying on inertial speed, continuous inertial flight, so as to cross the long star journey and carry out long-distance navigation across the star system.
Compared with the real interstellar spaceship of the Interstellar Age, this kind of sub-light spaceship that lags behind the times has too many drawbacks and shortcomings, not only the sailing time is far beyond the time of the First Emperor several times, but also before the distance really reaches the Giant Beast Planet, it is necessary to re-consume fuel and slow down the spacecraft, only after slowing down the spacecraft to a reasonable flight speed, can the spacecraft easily stay in the orbit of the planet, and carry out the most direct and detailed intelligence collection work on the Giant Planet.
And the acceleration and deceleration process in the interstellar flight alone consumes a lot of time and fuel reserves, so that the distance of only 20 light years for a conventional spacecraft will take nearly a hundred years to really arrive, and because of the large amount of fuel consumed, it is impossible for the spacecraft to return home, it can only stay on this planet, through various functional designs, and try to exert a little residual heat as much as possible.
The earth civilization has begun to launch unmanned spacecraft to the giant beast planet almost two hundred years ago, the first batch of ten spacecraft was launched, and it took nearly twenty years before and after, but these ten spaceships have encountered various accidents in the process of crossing the long journey of twenty light years, and lost as many as eight on the way, and finally there are only two unmanned spaceships that really fly to the giant beast planet, one is the second, and the other is the ninth spacecraft, and the two spaceships have opened a certain grade in science and technology because of the interval between the launch time of almost 20 years, and the difference between the two is less than five yearsAt this time, a full eighty-nine years have passed since the launch of the first spaceship.
As can be seen, the starship produced under this conventional flight concept does not have the function of a starship in the substantive sense at all, a distance of only 20 light years, and it will take more than 80 years to fly a single way, if it is used as an immigration spaceship, it will often waste the life of an entire generation, not to mention, the safety is too poor, and only two of the ten spaceships can survive in the end.
That's it, because of the good level of science and technology of the earth's civilization, the powerful rear resources of the earth, providing backup information support at various levels, greatly improve the ship's resilience and improve the safety of the spacecraft, otherwise, it is normal for the entire army to be wiped out at every turn.
This is also something that cannot be helped, although the interstellar information reconnaissance ability of the earth civilization is strong, the radar system in the circumplanetary defense system detects the interstellar situation within 20 light years of the surrounding area, and all interstellar materials larger than ten cubic meters can be observed in advance, so as to plan the safest and fastest flight trajectory for the unmanned interstellar spacecraft after the calculation of a super large amount of interstellar information.
However, the situation in the interstellar environment is too complicated, there are countless variables that affect the safety of the shipping lanes at any time, and some small interstellar matter will invisibly affect the trajectory of large stars, and this situation is simply unavoidable, or even imperceptible.
For those astral orbits that change long in advance, the Earth can still send signals to adjust the trajectory of the spacecraft in time, but some changes that occur when the distance is too close, even if they are discovered, sometimes it is too late to avoid them. What's more, countless high-energy particles and ultra-high-intensity electromagnetic environment changes in the interstellar space often block the smooth exchange of information, affecting the information and communication of the unmanned spacecraft, which will also greatly affect the safety status of the spacecraft.
The first batch of ten spaceships launched by the earth civilization to the giant beast planet, of which the eight ships lost were affected by similar factors, and they were damaged in the middle of the road, even the two spaceships that finally arrived on the giant beast planet were not unscathed, one of them was accidentally damaged in the middle of the way, dragging the half-crippled body, and struggled to the giant beast planet.
And this kind of thing, for a regular sub-light spaceship, is simply the norm, not unusual at all.
Those civilizations that do not have faster-than-light spaceships, if they want to set foot in the era of interstellar civilization, they will have to take huge risks of this degree at every turn, send their elite civilization forces on the road of no return again and again, at the cost of dying a boatload of people at every turn, temptation after temptation, loss after loss, and finally rely on luck to a large extent, in order to send a sufficient number of people to other planets under the premise of huge losses, and open up new territories of their own civilizations。
Before the earth civilization did not have faster-than-light spaceships, although it did not need to lose a large number of people in interstellar exploration, the loss of unmanned spacecraft was quite large in a large number of interstellar exploration.
Fortunately, after a large number of unmanned spacecraft were lost, the earth civilization still got all the planetary information it wanted, which provided a lot of information support for the official interstellar migration work that was launched later.
As for the unmanned spacecraft that arrived at their destination, they immediately started another task of their own after accumulating enough planetary information and consuming a lot of flight fuel.
That is, to descend into the appropriate planetary environment, after landing safely, use itself as a nest, release a massive army of microparticle robots, carry out pre-planned robot self-proliferation, and build an underground base independently.
The huge microparticle robot force carried on the spacecraft carries out self-replication, while carrying out the development, reinforcement and construction of the underground base, relying on the accumulation of decades or even hundreds of years to provide initial survival support services for the follow-up formal immigration project, and provide a large number of solid and reliable underground construction space.
In the long-term development of the earth's civilization, there has long been a systematic system and planning, and there are all kinds of necessary underground energy systems, living resource supply and circulation systems, communication equipment, metal mineral reserves, etc.
In addition to the first batch of two spaceships that arrived on the planet of the Behemoth more than a hundred years ago, there is also the second batch of three unmanned spaceships that arrived and participated in the development of the underground base fifty years ago.
And it was precisely by relying on such a convenient prior arrangement that after the First Emperor spacecraft arrived at the giant beast planet, it immediately followed the contact signal to get in touch with the underground base and obtained the permission of the underground base.
Under such a solid material foundation, the work that needs to be completed by the First Emperor can be said to have been reduced by more than half, reducing too much unnecessary time loss.
So the crew overhauled the First Emperor spacecraft, replacing and maintaining all aspects of the wear and tear parts of the ship that had only been half the limit of the cruise, and at the same time, from less to more, the members of the interstellar immigrant team were awakened in batches.
Because among these immigrant members, there is a division of labor and different positions, with a strong organization and combat effectiveness, after awakening the first few batches of core immigrant member organization team, and helping them to recover their physical health and work ability, the work pressure of the fleet's operating personnel has been relatively reduced a lot, and the organizational strength of these immigrant members has gradually come into play.
After the vast majority of the immigrant members were awakened and recovered, they quickly adapted to the environment and began to enter the working state, with the help of the production equipment in the underground base, plus the new core production equipment transported by the spaceship, as well as various materials transported by the spacecraft, seeds, livestock cubs, faster-than-light telecommunication systems, large-scale energy transmission equipment, The core components of the Lingyuan Great Array, etc., soon made the underground base have perfect social operation capabilities, and began a large-scale underground base expansion and renovation project.
After the immigration team gradually began to adapt, and had the corresponding security and social production capacity, the First Emperor spacecraft no longer paid attention to the specific work details of the immigration team, except for waking up a batch of personnel at intervals. Seeking information and technical support, the need for material reserves, safety guarantees, and food supplies for spacecraft is getting smaller and smaller. (To be continued.) )
