Interstellar Energy Tycoon - Chapter 287
c287 shocking discovery
After all preparations are in place.
The three team members who were willing to stay behind also took over most of the assets, obtained management authority, and explained some precautions.
The construction of the star gate was also completed successfully, and it has the function of coordinate positioning. If Li Lefan and the others build a new star gate in a new place in the future, they can input the coordinates and then use the spatial resonance effect to open up the gap between the two star gates. The wormhole can realize instant return, which can play a very important role in encountering certain dangerous situations or subsequent return, ensuring that you will not get lost in this vast space.
The power generation capacity of space energy facilities has also increased to 300 billion KW. Although this energy power will be a bit slow to recharge the star gate and will take several days, it is basically enough and is not necessary. If it is improved, it will lead to serious waste of energy.
Then there is the preparation of a large amount of necessary supplies.
For example, food, water, star core crystals (all full of energy), acceleration medium, etc., filled the warehouse of the exploration spacecraft “Starry Sky Fearless” to the point where it could no longer accommodate new supplies.
It is also to avoid any unexpected situations. Even if you run into a very empty interstellar space, you can rely on these supplies to reach the nearest star without running out of supplies or endurance.
And most importantly, after ten years of unremitting training, Li Lefan’s space system ability has been significantly improved. Now, with the guarantee of sufficient ‘star core crystals’, he can open the curvature of the system. The large distortion of space-time will last longer. It can easily fly hundreds of times the speed of light for about half an hour. With just one hand, it can drive the spacecraft to a considerable distance, even a few light years. The journey can also be shortened a lot, that is, his ability can play a very important role in interstellar navigation, like a humanoid super-light curvature engine.
So after all preparations are done.
A real problem faced Li Lefan and others.
Where to go?
Which destination should I choose?
Navigation officer Wang Ziheng has been using various equipment to observe and evaluate the surrounding stars in recent days, and has made a very surprising discovery.
There are three main characteristics.
First, the density of surrounding stars is very high. On average, there must be a star distributed every three light years or so. This density is close to the central region of the Milky Way, so the brightness of interstellar space is quite high, which is equivalent to turning on a street light at night.
Secondly, using the ‘star core crystal’ material sensing and scanning device, Wang Ziheng discovered that there are a lot of ‘star core crystal’ materials distributed inside the surrounding star systems, and the density is no less than that of the Martian sphere. On average, The reserves are all over one million cubic meters, which is a hundred times the reserves of the solar system. Especially in some areas shrouded by nebulae, the density of stars and ‘star core crystals’ inside them is even higher, and their energy performance is even more active. .
Third, many battlefield traces of interstellar wars have been observed.
For example, an ordinary C-type star should be in a stable burning state, but suddenly a supernova explosion occurred. It was obviously detonated by some powerful weapons, using billions or tens of billions of degrees of high temperature to cause the heavy objects to explode. Nuclear fusion explodes in advance, forming a supernova explosion, which brings huge destructive power.
There are also some interstellar spaces where there are traces of a large number of high-energy electromagnetic waves and gravitational wave explosions. They are very messy and short, but extremely intense. Only certain powerful weapons can bring about such effects.
Not to mention, some interstellar spaces have completely turned into a dark area where nothing can be seen. The stars inside have either been destroyed or obscured. There are advanced civilizations that control There is no way to use 100% of the star’s energy, or after the tragic war, the area became a lifeless and dead area.
There are also various gravitational fluctuation phenomena, especially the huge interstellar fleet. When the weight of one of its ships is equivalent to the level of a planet, a huge fleet group of hundreds of thousands of ships passes through certain areas. The gravitational fluctuations caused can even slightly change the trajectory of stars.
and other special space phenomena, undoubtedly prove one thing——
civilization.
There are quite a few alien civilizations in this starry sky.
The number is definitely not just one, but many, or even more serious, countless.
The most terrifying conclusion is that the galaxy they are in now may no longer be the original Milky Way, but a new galaxy similar to the Milky Way but with many differences.
For example, the number of stars is at least over 800 billion, approaching trillions.
There are many dark and covered areas, which means that there must be relatively powerful civilizations in these areas.
A large number of battlefields with serious signs of damage prove that this galaxy is not a peaceful place, and there are many disputes and contradictions.
Even not far away from this galaxy, there may be some traces of civilization, with varying degrees of development, and generally everyone has mastered the use of ‘star core crystals’. Therefore, even if the development of productivity is still quite lagging behind, But with the help of the energy inside the star core crystal, intelligent life can explode a million times more energy, which may also be the reason why some magical phenomena can occur.
discussion meeting.
Wang Ziheng opened a projected star map and said: “I chose three potential exploration destinations. The first target is 7 light years away from us. It can be teleported there instantly with the help of the star gate. The weight of its star It is 0.88 times that of the sun. It has a remaining lifespan of 12 billion years. There are about eight rocky planets. The probability of the existence of intelligent civilization is 81%. However, the productivity level and technological level are not high. It should also be an ancient civilization, but There are many ‘superpowers’ who use their powerful divine power to do extraordinary things, but they don’t pose much of a threat to us.”
“The second target is 9 light years away from us. It can be reached instantly with the help of the star gate. Its star weighs 1.45 times that of the sun. It has a remaining life of 3 billion years. There are about 20 rocky planets. It is possible for intelligent civilization to exist. The probability is 92%. Technology has developed so much that we can already build warships that can move in space. There are a lot of space exploration activities, but we are still just out of the cradle of civilization and have not mastered the technology of super-light speed. If our spaceship arrives Within this civilization, we should be able to deal with it calmly.”
“The third target is 22 light years away from us and is also within the direct transmission range of the star gate. Its star mass is three times that of the sun. It is a very hot blue giant star with a remaining life of 50 million on the main sequence. years, a supernova explosion will occur, which should not be suitable for the development of civilization. However, various energy reactions inside the star are very violent. There are many rocky planets, large fleets and space facilities. The level of science and technology is extremely high, perhaps not weaker than ours. If we have contact or conflict with their parent star, we will most likely be at a disadvantage and passive, so I do not recommend taking risky actions inside the star, although the reserve of ‘star core crystals’ in the star is expected to exceed 1 One billion cubic meters is enough to turn tens of billions of people into extraordinary powers and make all people extraordinary, but it is by no means an opponent that we can handle.”
After listening to Wang Ziheng’s introduction.
The team members discussed it again.
“Then it would be better for us to go to the first star. It is very close to us and will be there in an instant. Moreover, the civilization inside is not strong and it belongs to the ancient feudal period. In this case, we will go to grasp this kind of civilization and find a way to get our If you want something, develop it into a second adventure destination and maximize your profits.”
“That’s right, we are not here for passing by. We are here to develop some major benefits for the company and the human federation. Unfortunately, we do not have the human genetic population bomb in our hands. Otherwise, we can all explore and wander while cultivating Civilizations sow fires one by one, so that even if we encounter danger in the future, the legacy left behind will still be very rich and precious.”
“How about we explore all three stars, from near to far. Even if there will be some challenges, we will definitely have a way to overcome them. If it doesn’t work, we can also use the power of several stars that have already passed by. In this way, even if we face a relatively powerful advanced civilization, we are not necessarily a lamb to be slaughtered, and we can even come up with some big killer weapons. Anyone who dares to offend us will be completely beaten.”
“Okay, that’s it. Anyway, it’s just a matter of building a few more star gates. The ‘star core crystal’ we have is completely enough. If you want to save money, you can also sail there slowly. It won’t take more time at most. .”
Li Lefan finally made the decision.
soon.
The Starry Sky Fearless exploration spacecraft has officially set off.
“The star gate is fully charged!”
“The wormhole has been opened!”
“Enter the wormhole, target small and medium-sized stars 7 light-years away, and start a super-light jump!”
“The jump is completed, we have successfully reached our destination, and we can start a new exploration.”
“Inside this star system, there is a living planet, which is slightly larger than the blue star. It has a surface area of about 600 million square kilometers, half of which is ocean and land, and an average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. According to the information returned by the detection satellite, the surface of this living planet, There are signs of the existence of intelligent life, and there are more than a thousand ancient stone brick city walls. It is initially judged that the productivity is in the relatively backward feudal era, the total population is about 2 billion, and it has entered the Iron Age, and through some magnificent giant According to the analysis of buildings and statues, there are a small number of extraordinary characters on this planet, and they have used their great power to bring about some marvelous buildings.”
“The detector continues to lower its height and has captured a specific image of intelligent life. It is also a life that walks upright on two legs. It is 95% similar to humans, with only very subtle differences. The body is well proportioned and conforms to the golden ratio. , especially the face shape and facial features, are close to 100% similar to humans, which is very consistent with our human aesthetics. This intelligent life can be called an ancient human being. Perhaps after tens of thousands of years of evolution, it will be incompatible with humans like us. difference.”
“In terms of productivity, some areas are very developed, mainly based on farming, and have a high population density, approaching the level of hundreds of people living per square kilometer. Some areas are relatively backward, mainly based on animal husbandry, and the population density is less than 10 people per square kilometer. kilometers, but judging from the large number of border defense cities and defense lines built in agricultural areas, the nomadic forces living in animal husbandry areas have very strong individual combat effectiveness. Once they mount their war horses and go south to plunder, they will lead A serious disaster is coming.”
“Although the land area of the living planet ahead is 300 million square kilometers, twice that of the Blue Star, the water resources are not as abundant as the Blue Star, resulting in insufficient rainfall. Less than half of the land has rainfall exceeding 400 millimeters. It can After agricultural cultivation, the remaining half of the land is either grassland or Gobi desert, which is very desolate and has formed countless grassland tribes. Although the area is huge, the population is indeed small. The farming areas are very prosperous and have abundant materials. Rich, but life is too comfortable, organization and combat effectiveness are weak, and it has been passively beaten for a long time. However, because of the large population, the number of extraordinary people, and the high-end combat power are very considerable, so when they are at a disadvantage, there will always be some Characters with high military strength can turn the tide and resolve the crisis of annihilation. Therefore, no matter how many times the northern nomadic cavalry army goes south, it can always survive in the end. Especially the paddy fields and water network areas further south are not suitable. In cavalry fighting, the northern barbarians can advance no further than this point, and then it will be difficult for them to move forward.”
“All in all, this is a very interesting planet with life. No matter in every aspect, it has great similarities with the past of our blue star. There is also a so-called martial arts world. There are many extraordinary masters. With one enemy 10. It is not an exaggeration to say that one can defeat a hundred. A very few masters who have reached the level of “grandmaster” can destroy thousands of troops with one person, and have the strength to withstand a large army. It is precisely because of the strength of these extraordinary master-level warriors. Existing, the farming dynasty in the south, even if it has experienced dozens or hundreds of crises of barbarian annihilation, has always been able to survive in the end and continues to this day, avoiding complete destruction.”
“In addition, there is a microscopic substance called ‘spiritual energy’ on this living planet, which can enter the human body and be used as energy, or stored in the ‘star core crystal’. The energy level of this ‘spiritual energy’ is quite high and can burst out Quite huge instantaneous power, the speed of aura particles can even exceed ten times or a hundred times the speed of light. The potential is very terrifying. When used with the ‘Star Core Crystal’, the maximum energy burst out is simply unimaginable, and because of the existence of aura matter , the ancient humans on this living planet had handsome men and beautiful women, and there were beauties everywhere. There were very few ugly ones, and there were many beauties with extraordinary temperaments. It can also be called the ‘beautiful planet’ or the ‘fairy planet’. A place full of beautiful fairies.”
The artificial intelligence on the spacecraft introduced.
Hear the introduction.
When they saw on the screen the beauty resources that could be found everywhere in that ancient city, the eyes of Li Lefan and others suddenly lit up. (End of chapter)
