Chapter 104 Step out of the cradle

   "In the Kuiper belt, a super factory of lizard civilization is built, and the data of the unmanned warships guarding the Dyson sphere is produced in the database of the fourth-level civilization. Using the materials in the Kuiper belt, we can quickly build a batch of space fleets!"

"Combined with virtual reality technology and the cross-space communication system of the Silver Star, those unmanned warships are our main force against this fleet, and we don't need us to fill a large number of combatants. For them, this will be a battle. It's just a virtual reality game."

This is the most ideal picture, but there are still many technical bottlenecks that need to be broken through. Huaguo has just completed the second phase of the moon base project, and now it needs to jump to the Kuiper belt to carry out engineering operations...the difficulty can be imagined And know.

  “Our No. 1 test engine has already begun assembly. If all goes well, the spacecraft equipped with No. 1 engine can gradually increase its speed to 1% of the speed of light in the space environment, or even higher.” (Note 1)

   "The Kuiper belt is nearly 40 astronomical distances from the sun. If we sail at 1% of the speed of light and launch at a suitable relative position, we only need about 550 hours."

   "But in fact, considering the acceleration, deceleration and route problems of the spacecraft, the actual time required may be as long as more than 600 hours."

   "Secondly, we must also consider the huge risks of using immature technology for long-distance travel. We will first establish a forward base in the asteroid belt, which will also be Blue Star's second line of defense."

This defense system plan actually had a plan long before this crisis. Huaguo would have officially started to build a star defense system after the No. 1 engine was installed, but unexpectedly, the unexpected arrival made this plan have to be accelerated. .

  After [Space Great Wall Project], the second plan [Tinder Project] appeared before the participants.

  In the next five years, Base Zero will focus on the research and development of the light-speed engine, not seeking to develop a light-speed spacecraft, but at least towards a higher space navigation speed.

This is not for escaping from the solar system, but a kindling spacecraft prepared for countless sperm and eggs. Base Zero will gradually launch spacecraft carrying human genes into deep space. All records of .

  If... human civilization really perish because of this fleet, then they will be the last fire of mankind, and one day when Lu Yu returns to the solar system, he can use these data and space jump to salvage the fire of mankind.

  As long as these fires can rekindle in the space of the Silver Star, then human civilization will not be counted as perishing in the universe!

  The fire is never extinguished, and the inheritance continues. This is the [Tinder Project].

  [Space Great Wall Project] and [Tinder Project] are both designed to prevent the worst from happening, maybe this fleet really came with [goodwill]?

   It’s just that everyone understands that we must not take chances on issues related to the survival of civilization, so the derivation of the dark forest is at least logically self-consistent!

  The two major plans in front of us are just pre-plans. After passing the vote of Base Zero, there is still a long way to go before implementation.

  But at the moment of choice, everyone voted for it unanimously.

  There are no capitulators here, all experts and professors stood up at the moment of voting, they are extremely confident, this is the confidence given to everyone by the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the past five years.

   "Humanity will prevail!"

   "Blue Star will win!"

   "Aliens who dare to invade the solar system will eventually become the nourishment of human civilization!"

  Voting results—unanimous vote.

  Although fifteen years is short for the universe and the lifespan of celestial bodies, for Base Zero, which has already created miracles, fifteen years is enough time for everyone to create an even greater miracle.

yes!

   Originally thought to seal up half a century of scientific and technological achievements, but now they can practice it outside of Blue Star without any hesitation.

  Originally because it was too powerful, the research on weapons that could destroy Blue Star as long as it occupied low earth orbit was restarted again.

  One piece of technology finally does not have to wait for time in the database of the zero base to wake them up. In the near future, the aircraft they will carry will head towards the asteroid belt.

  Perhaps in the future, astronomers on the blue star will find that the solar system will be full of high-power engines, and they will be more dazzling than distant stars!

  After the two major proposals were voted on, it naturally entered the next process.

  Everyone in the conference hall who had been so busy that it was rare to get together did not leave in a hurry. Everyone realized that the next fifteen years might be a day of rapid change.

   "Blue Star's political ecology is no longer suitable for the changes in the current situation in the future, the Federation"

   "How to detect the movement trajectory of the light-speed spacecraft, we may be able to..."

   "The preliminary work of the forward base cannot be completely automated, right? Maybe I can go to..."

  After the meeting ended, without the restraint of the discipline of the venue, the discussion was a little louder.

  Professor Mao, who presided over the meeting, sat in the corner with a smile and looked at the appearance of his colleagues, as if he had returned to the time when Base Zero was just established, and everyone was discussing how to save Lu Yu who jumped to Mars from space.

   "I said why can't I find you?"

  Professor Han emerged from his side: "Why are you hiding here? Everyone is looking for you! When did you step down as the head of Base Zero? What's going on?"

  Professor Mao waved his hand: "The resignation process started before the meeting."

   "Everything is on the right track at base zero, so I recommend myself. I plan to transfer to the person in charge of the forward base. At that time, I will follow the first batch of spacecraft to the asteroid belt to start construction."

  Professor Han was shocked by the news for a while: "Are you crazy? Are you almost eighty?"

  Professor Mao touched his hair that had all turned black, and his hands were free of wrinkles and age spots: "I think I can live another hundred years."

   "Don't forget! I'm an old spacefarer! I've wanted to experience the feeling of stepping into the starry sky for a long time, and it's time for me to satisfy the little wish I've hidden in my heart for many years."

  “.…”

  Professor Han was silent. The person in charge of Base Zero was vying for the position, and the old friend resigned after talking. He also deeply understood that the old friend wanted to lead by example.

  In the near future, after the two plans are fully passed, there will inevitably be a lack of a large number of scientists on the front line. With the former person in charge of Base Zero taking the lead in the charge, many people will have an example to follow.

  Supporting a great civilization depends on such great individuals.

   "Humanity will prevail!"

   "Blue Star will win!"

  Professor Han's chest echoed the slogan just now, this time more passionately and sincerely.

  With this hot feeling flowing through his heart, he will also bid farewell to the comfortable base zero and go to deep space to see the universe.
