Chapter 336 Heading Into the Distance

Time passed month after month...

In the blink of an eye, people have stayed on this planet for two years, and they have obtained more than 1 billion tons of helium-3, plus a large number of rare minerals.

After repeated thinking, people decided to leave this rich metal planet!

Although there are still many resources on this planet, humans can just eat and wait for death for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!

But... it seems unnecessary. There are enough resources stored in Noah, and even the first "Titan" has been built. There is not much point in continuing to mine.

The human race is indeed quite greedy, but this greed is insignificant in front of the entire universe.

Today, the group of scientists is ready to move, and they can't wait to explore the distance...

Farther away!

It is impossible to be comfortable. If you want to pursue comfort, people will choose to stay on Nix. Since it has become an interstellar civilization and has the ability to travel to the stars, another kind of thinking naturally becomes people's instinct.

That is... exploring the unknown!

The new human civilization is still very young, and even the first generation has not died. They have enough energy and enthusiasm to explore new things in the universe.

The thinking of interstellar civilization is naturally different from that of low-level civilization.

This difference is like a helicopter and a tricycle...

People with helicopters will naturally think about going higher and farther, while the owner of a tricycle may not think about leaving the county...

Now that humans have higher-level spacecraft and the ability to truly navigate between stars, they will naturally think about exploring more unknowns.

Especially in the universe, there are universal laws of life, making each planet more colorful. Although most of them are low-level life, humans have been away from low-level civilization for a short time, and they can always learn more.

"Let's go, let's go. Staying on this planet is safer and more comfortable... but we don't belong here after all."

"Maybe we will have enough power in the future to come back and transform this metal planet into a real planetary spaceship! We can also transform Nix!"

"Goodbye, GB131 planet!"

Yu Yifeng stood in the captain's room, threw away thousands of thoughts in his mind, and issued the final order: "Deep Space! Set sail!"

"Captain's order, Deep Space, set sail!"

"... Set sail!"

The first time is the second time, and everyone is familiar with this long voyage.

The space elevator was retracted a few days ago, and the ion engine at the rear sprayed bright flames and quickly broke free from the gravity of the planet.

Everything went according to plan, and there were not many mistakes.

After a few days, the curvature engine began to replace the ion engine, and a thin layer of curvature bubble wrapped the entire Deep Space.

This voyage is farther than the last time, and it is also the first long-distance voyage across the stars for humans.

After a lot of discussion and argumentation, people still chose the "Dig 114 planet" 6.8 light years away from here!

In the past two years, the astronomical telescope has observed 4 significant bright light spots, which were concentrated in one month. In addition, there were 11 suspected light spots that were not very bright...

These light spots also indirectly proved that this planet similar to the earth was indeed experiencing a tragic nuclear war!

However, in the following year, humans no longer detected similar light spots, as if the war had been fought...

"Did they also have an energy crisis like the Nix people?" Yu Yifeng thought very puzzledly.

"But Dig 114 is relatively close to the star and has almost inexhaustible stellar energy. It should not be like the Nix civilization... Why?"

For this reason, he also held a meeting to ask everyone whether they wanted to change the target location, etc.

The final result was that people still planned to run over to take a look!

First of all, this planet may be similar to the earth, and may be an ideal home for humans.

Secondly, even if this planet does not meet the requirements, people can still understand the cause of the nuclear war, increase their knowledge of cosmic sociology, and collect biological specimens from the planet...

According to the alien "Black", human knowledge is still too narrow, and even people's thinking is still at the level of lower civilization.

Subjects such as sociology and biology must collect enough samples to make great progress. There is no benefit in closed-door research.

After more than a hundred years of research on Nix, people have found that the complexity of life is far beyond their imagination. Scientists have not been able to truly "create" species so far...People can improve and splice, but they can't make it out of thin air.

Such a reality has to make people feel a little frustrated.

L4-level theories such as gene dynamics can only summarize part of the properties of genetic material, not all.

Humans still have a lot to learn and verify!

"The maximum speed of our curvature navigation is about 3 times the speed of light, so the whole process will take two or three years...Everyone cheer up and don't make any mistakes!" Yu Yifeng said calmly in the captain's room.

However, the speed of the spacecraft is not very high now, about 0.1 times the speed of light, and it is estimated to last for two or three months.

This speed allows the central computer to quickly restore the image of the outside world and conduct reconnaissance of the outside world.

Because... there are too many asteroids in this place, and there is a small probability of touching the hull.

Ordinary small meteorites can be broken by lasers and electromagnetic guns, and even if some small things break into the curvature bubble, it doesn't matter much. The kinetic energy of the Deep Space itself is not large, and it can withstand the impact of some space debris.

But if you encounter a larger planet, you must bypass it. Collision is one aspect, and because of its huge size, it may break the curvature bubble around the spacecraft.

Just like a soap bubble is broken, if the curvature bubble is invaded by a large amount of matter, this layer of membrane may also be broken, and at this time, it will cause a huge explosion!

Such a super explosion, the Deep Space can't bear it...

Therefore, people can only sail at a lower speed to avoid these asteroids. If the speed is faster, there is no way to detect the outside world in real time.

In front of me is a gaseous blue planet like Neptune, with an atmosphere mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, and a trace amount of methane mixed in it. These methanes are one of the reasons why the planet is blue.

There are a lot of meteorites near this gas planet, forming a beautiful circular halo.

"It is equivalent to a planetary structure with Neptune and Saturn rings. Very beautiful!"

Perhaps "GB131 Planet" is a satellite of this gas planet. After being hit, it escaped and became an independent planet.

The remaining part of the planet became the planetary halo.

Scientists have calculated the total mass of the meteorite belt, and the overall data is indeed very consistent with this conjecture.

The encounter between the Deep Space and this gas planet was only a moment. Compared with a planet, 0.1 times the speed of light is still very fast.

Humans threw out a few nuclear-powered music boxes here, which can continue to play for ten thousand years.

These music boxes show that humans have been here, just like "humans have been here".

And there are still a few broken excavators on GB131, which is equivalent to declaring human sovereignty: the new human civilization is the first to discover this planet!

If you argue with other interstellar civilizations in the future, you will have evidence.

Well, this is all the bad taste of Yu Yifeng and some other scientists. If you've been here, you'll always leave some traces.

Two months later, the spacecraft finally left the main area of ​​the star system. There are more comets in this outer area, but their orbits are not in the direction of human progress, and the probability of collision is extremely low.

Now, it's time to start a faster journey.

Yu Yifeng looked at the gravitational wave detection report submitted by the observatory, and after confirming that there were no dangerous celestial bodies ahead, he finally issued the final order: "Start superluminal navigation!"

"Captain's order, start superluminal navigation mode!"
