Chapter 157 Farewell to Wolfe

"The hidden bridge mode is turned on. Please sit down, fasten your safety buckles, and turn on the seat buffer mode."

As the voice announcement sounded, Yue Yuan, who was sitting in the captain's seat, clearly felt that the entire bridge was sinking. Slowly, the external structure of the Lyran appeared in the glass porthole that could originally see the universe, and then the internal structure.

Immediately afterwards, thick alloy gates slowly closed, sealing the entire retracted bridge inside.

Inside the bridge, Yue Yuan could not hear the sound of gears and motors outside, but the sound of mechanical movement rang from the bottom of his heart. He knew that these gates were designed to protect the safety of the bridge.

As the bridge sank into the interior of the battleship, the people on the bridge also lost their intuitive perspective on the external universe, but the subsequent changes within the bridge restored them to a similar perspective.

The dimmed bridge lit up again. It was a display screen that was originally shrunk in the mezzanine of the porthole. When the bridge sank back into the warship, they were slowly pushed out from the mezzanine to replace the original glass of the porthole. Show humans the scene outside the spacecraft.

"Biosphere Ship No. 1 has completed Wolf's version of acceleration buffer filling. Biosphere Ship No. 1 has completed Wolf's version of acceleration buffer and has filled Biosphere Ship No. 3. Biosphere Ship No. 7 has completed Wolf's version of acceleration buffer and has filled Biosphere Ship No. 7." Golf version speeds up buffer filling.”

"The thrusters are working normally and are ready to enter the high-G acceleration mode. The default acceleration value is 100 G. Attention all crew members, the Tianqin is about to start a uniform acceleration movement. The countdown is 10 seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7."

"The thrusters are working normally and are ready to enter the high-G acceleration mode. The default acceleration value is 100 G. Attention all crew members, the Kunlun ship is about to start a uniform acceleration movement. The countdown is 10 seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7."

"Prepare to enter the high-G acceleration mode. The default acceleration value is 100 G. Attention all crew members, the Huashan ship is about to start a uniform acceleration movement. The countdown is 10 seconds."

The voice announcement of "Light of the Galaxy" sounded on all spaceships and battleships to ensure that the starting time of each spacecraft would not differ too much.

Hearing this sound, everyone sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the moment of acceleration.

After the body is strengthened, humans can withstand an acceleration of 123 G without the need for an acceleration buffer, which just exceeds the acceleration limit of a residential spacecraft. In other words, a residential spacecraft does not need to install an acceleration buffer device. .

This also makes the construction of residential spaceships less complicated. Humans rely on this to build so many ships in such a short period of time.

As for the battleship, since its upper limit of acceleration is 150G, if you want to use its full performance, you must also install an acceleration buffer system. However, it is not a critical moment now, so there is no need to push it to the highest value.

As for the creatures on the biosphere spacecraft, they do not have such strong bodies, so humans specially created Wolf's version of acceleration buffer for them to ensure that they will not be crushed into meat patties under high G acceleration.

Yes, although human body enhancers were invented through research on the biosphere of Wolf Planet, they are more powerful than the creatures on Wolf Planet. They are better than others.

Technology is like this sometimes. After finding the root cause, it is even more powerful than the natural evolution of the original version.

Of course, not every creature on Wolf Planet can withstand high-G acceleration. According to scientists' experimental data, that kind of armored beast can withstand an instant acceleration of 60G. It is truly a body of steel.

When the countdown reached zero, the originally shining nuclear fusion thruster instantly brightened hundreds of times, and at the same time bright blue flames spurted out, as if bright suns were lighting up in space.

Hundreds of spaceships accelerated at the same time, and the bright tail flames illuminated each other instantly.

From a distance, it looks like a big sun formed by countless small suns gathered together. The light of the red dwarf star named Wolf 1061 in the distance seems to turn into a small fire at this moment.

As the bright light gradually shines to every corner of the Wolf star system, the human fleet slowly escapes from the gravitational range of Wolf 1061 and slowly sails towards deep space.

From a relatively static state to a uniform acceleration of 100 G, the human fleet needs to continuously accelerate for 12.7 hours to reach the fleet's maximum speed, 15% of the speed of light.

It is the highest speed that the nuclear fusion thruster can reach. If it goes higher, the fusion thruster will no longer be able to provide thrust with the particle flow injected later. Of course, if you change the engine to a plasma engine at this time, you can still continue to accelerate, but the thrust of the plasma engine is very, very small, and the acceleration becomes very, very slow. After a thousand years of acceleration, it is estimated that the speed will only increase a little, not at all. That's necessary.

Gradually, the tail flames of the human fleet slowly dimmed from the brightness of the sun, and the light they illuminated the Wolf star system was gradually diluted by interstellar dust and became less. Soon, the brightness of the tail flames slowly became the same as that of the Wolf star system. The main sequence stars of Husband 1061 are the same.

If there is intelligent life on the planet Wolf 1061 c at this time, then they will definitely see two equally bright 'suns' when they look up at the starry sky.

After a while, the 'sun' emitting blue light dimmed again, becoming as bright as the stars in the sky, and finally, like stars blinking, it gradually disappeared among the stars.

At this moment, the Wolf star system, which had been bustling for more than forty years, finally returned to its former tranquility.

Humans come and go.

Countless years later, the alloys discarded by humans on the planet Wolf 1061 c may be buried in the long time, or become tools in the hands of a race that has just awakened to wisdom, or may become the mysterious cold iron and inheritance treasures in the mouth of that unknown intelligent life.

Maybe they will think that this is something from the so-called mythological era.

But they may never think that it is actually just some special alloys left by humans on the planet that they are too lazy to take away.

Oh, maybe when they really embark on the path of science, they will think that it is evidence of the existence of ancient civilization. The truth, or they can only discover it after they have the ability to board their satellite.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wolf 1061 c will definitely give birth to intelligent life, because when humans collect biosphere resources, they have discovered some animals with large brain capacity and relatively smart.

If this is true, then one day they may really find that the strange symbols on the alloys left by humans on the planet are a kind of alien language.

Of course, according to human analysis based on the time of Earth's evolution, if we want to give birth to intelligent life given the current state of this planet, we will have to calculate it in millions of years.
