Chapter 494: Exploring the Gravitational Strings 3
The success of the space-time wave engine brought the atmosphere of the venue to its first peak.
In the interstellar world, running fast is the first truth.
The emergence of the space-time wave engine not only achieved a surge in speed, but also achieved 'energy saving'. At a time when nuclear island technology is almost touching the ceiling, the emergence of this technology is simply significant.
After Lin Yinghao sat down, everyone began to discuss issues such as communication, reconnaissance, logistics, self-maintenance, life practice and medical care on ultra-long voyages.
There is also a period of important observation of the Carp Nebula. Through the virtual telescope formed by the telescope array, the bee's eye structure, everyone has learned more about the Carp Nebula.
This super telescope array base is built on the periphery of the constellation of the elderly. The stars here are sparse, the interstellar dust is scarce, the space is relatively smooth, and it is more than 8,000 light-years closer to the Carp Nebula than the location of the red pearl star, so the observation is clearer.
Also, because of the exploration of the Carp Nebula, this huge telescope array has expanded to more than half a million kilometers in diameter, forming the largest telescope array in the current Blue Star Group. It is probably the largest telescope array in the entire Zhoutian galaxy.
Virtual telescopes formed by such telescope arrays make it possible to make more detailed observations of the Carp Nebula 120,000 light-years away.
Pulsed signals (active neutron stars), black holes, supernovae, and most of the outer stars facing the direction of the Celestial Yuan can be observed. For some galaxies that are more appropriately positioned, some larger planets can even be discovered through occultation.
After observations, it is temporarily believed that there is no trace of intelligent life in the Carp Nebula, and there is no trace of a giant beast in the starry sky.
Of course, the traces of intelligent life mentioned here mainly refer to the kind that has the ability to expand the starry sky, and the kind that can affect the planet. If it's just life on the ground, you can't see it at all.
In other words, if it is just the life and civilization that have not been able to leave the planet, the Tianyuan Star civilization will not care.
After that, the team members and benefits were discussed. There is also the establishment of a joint technology center to provide technical support for the entire exploration activity.
This kind of technical center, which is not fixed, is to follow the fleet to set off. During the long interstellar voyage, the technician is the doctor of the spacecraft and related equipment, and must follow the spacecraft.
Once you arrive at your destination, explore the stars, especially the planets of natural life...... This is often not much, but the kind that has the potential for transformation needs to be investigated.
If the voyage goes well, the first joint exploration fleet needs to establish a root base on the Carp Nebula, and even establish a complete industrial base for the Tianyuan Star civilization to take root. And this requires quite a bit of technical support.
In this regard, Dayang Group sent Zhao Ke and the corresponding scientific research and technical team, and Tianyuan Star United Nations sent Zhang Jie and the corresponding scientific research and technical team.
In addition, there is also an engineering team with the staff and technical team. Pure scientific research cannot be directly applied, and in order to transform technology into actual products, engineering production is also required.
In short, when the Blue Star Group was preparing to see the excitement, a real interstellar exploration team within the Tianyuan Star Civilization was finally basically established.
This is a truly integrated fleet. The fleet itself can be seen as the seed of a civilization - as long as they find the right starry sky, they can develop into a new civilization on their own, even without contact with the rear.
In addition to the necessary military strength, the fleet also has a relatively complete scientific research and industrial system, as well as an administrative system, an education system, a medical system, and a spiritual system. As a large fleet, there is naturally a trading system and even an entertainment system.
To put it simply, this is a complete system of small civilizations. The fleet is planned according to a fifty-year survival time, and the maximum situation can last for a hundred years of survival.
Although technology has progressed. But the most optimistic prediction of interstellar exploration this time will take more than ten years to come and go - this is still because of technological progress. Otherwise, according to the previous plan, it will take thirty or fifty years.
But more than ten years is only an 'ideal time'. In actual exploration, it is almost inevitable that problems will arise.
And the first question is in front of everyone: the Western Yue Empire.
Although everyone doesn't want to pay attention to this country, they really have to pay attention to it when they look at the star map.
Due east of the constellation of the Celestial Society, it is the 'Celestial Constellation'. And the Western Yue Empire monopolized the entire Tianji constellation. It is preliminarily speculated (not yet verified) that the gravitational strings should be linked to the constellation of Tianji after leaving the constellation of the Celestial Society.
The constellation of Tianshe is the easternmost constellation, and it is 3,000 light-years away from the constellation of Tianji. That's far enough, but if you do walk the gravitational string, no one knows what will happen - the current gravitational string technology is just getting started, and there is absolutely no experience to draw on.
In principle, if the space-time wave engine technology is successful, you can directly skip the constellation Tianji. But what if it doesn't work out?
Especially the Tianji Constellation and the Xiyue Empire are in the way, and everyone has fought again before, and there are always some security concerns.
Then everyone discussed and discussed, and naturally led the topic to the Western Yue Empire. So, go and say hello again?
In short, now everyone looks at this Western Yue Empire, no matter how you look at it, how it is an eyesore, no matter how you look at it, it is a stumbling block.
But although everyone was victorious, they were not arrogant. The Xiyue Empire has Jin Xian in charge! This point makes everyone jealous.
After discussing for a long time, Zhang Hao said: "On the side of the Xiyue Empire, let's send someone over to visit first." The United Nations sent someone to ask why they attacked us for no reason and demanded compensation. ”
Liu Xinyu nodded in agreement. Although there are Golden Immortals in the Xiyue Empire, you defeated it last time!
Even the Tianji Empire, which was half the suzerainty of the Xiyue Empire, suffered a big loss, almost all of the 800 million spaceships were wiped out, and few escaped. Even Yao Tong, the southern commander of the Heavenly Age Empire and a cultivator of the Golden Immortals, was captured alive.
Although there are many coincidences in the process of capturing Yao Tong alive. But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that Yao Tong was captured alive, which is enough to make the Xiyue Empire 'calm down'.
What's more, although the Xiyue Empire has some alliance with the Tianji Empire, the two sides are eight thousand light years apart. If the Tian Yuan Star Civilization hired a few golden immortals from the Blue Star Group to bully him, the bullying would also be bullied.
From a comprehensive analysis, the Tianyuan Star civilization, which is backed by the Blue Star Group, can completely threaten the tiger.
It can even go one step further and bring the West Yue Empire over and become a member of the Blue Star Group.
However, as a relatively pure scientific research personnel, Zhao Dahe looked at the lonely Xiyue Empire, but expressed his doubts: "The Xiyue Empire is too biased, and it seems useless to win it over." If you really want to join the Blue Star Group, you can't do it. ”
Wang Ruiyang, who had not spoken much in this discussion, spoke: "How useless, at least it is disgusting to the Heavenly Empire." Didn't he want to occupy the Celestial Constellation and put a knife in the back of the Blue Star Group? Now let's stick a knife in the back of the Celestial Empire!
Although the actual effect should not be large, it is of great significance from the perspective of political confrontation and psychological confrontation. ”
Zhao Dahe silently took a sip of tea - Zhao Dahe was not interested in politics or anything at all.
However, Zhang Hao explained in depth: "In fact, if the space-wave engine is successfully developed and mass-produced, the position of the Xiyue Empire will be more important. We can use the Xiyue Empire as a springboard to get past the obstruction of less friendly countries such as the Celestial Empire, and go deep into the star sector in the east of the Vermilion Bird Astrological Image.
In short, first send someone to test the attitude of the Western Yue Empire. Remember to be strong. After all, we have just won, and we still have the Blue Star Group behind us. In contrast, the Western Vietnamese Empire was isolated from the outside world, lacking foreign aid and even less foreign exchanges. Maybe it can really be co-opted. ”
"I'll go!" Gao Gao Shang spoke, "The Western Yue Empire is similar to the Red River Civilization, and I have plenty of experience. ”
After a little discussion, everyone nodded in agreement. As for what experience or the like, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but everyone still agreed with Gao Shang's ability.
At present, in the Tianyuan Star civilization, although there are many people with more diplomatic experience, one of them is Zhang Hao, followed by Gao Gao Shang and Wang Ruiyang.
Needless to say, Zhang Hao was good at dancing with long sleeves in the cracks of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and the Super Empire, which brought space for the free development of the Tianyuan Star Civilization and the Dayang Group.
Gao Gao Shang was stationed in the Red River Civilization for a long time, and he also made outstanding contributions at the moment when the Tianyuan Star Civilization was weak.
Wang Ruiyang was a little worse, it was only after the development of the Tianyuan Star civilization that he became active.
And at the moment, this West Yue Empire is a little tricky, and Zhang Hao can't be separated. The important diplomatic forces of the Ocean Group, whether it is Bai Ye or Zhang Jialin, are busy on the side of the Bluestar Group. After all, it is really the most suitable for Gao Shang.
Afterwards, everyone discussed the establishment of a 'Carp Nebula Exploration Working Group'. It was decided to separate this piece of work from the Ocean Group and the Tianyuan Star Civilization and operate independently.
As the official exploration work enters the countdown, it is impossible for everyone to continue to run at three heads: the Celestial Constellation, the Tianyuan Star, and the Red Pearl Star. This trip will cost almost 11,000 light years, not to mention the wasted work.
In terms of the person in charge of the working group, Dayang Group sent Huang Wentian to be in charge. On the UN side, it's Goshang. The two are jointly responsible for the working group. The rest of the personnel were negotiated by Huang Wentian and Gao Shang.
The working place of the working group will be in the 'Tianshe Star Cluster', that is, the puppet palace where Zhuge Binghe once divided. Now this place has been 'confiscated' by the Tianyuan Star Civilization.
As for Zhuge Binghe and other people of the former Red River civilization, they have accepted the conditions of the Dayang Group and, with the support of the Dayang Group, have begun to develop a comprehensive group with technology, armament, market and production base.
After these questions were determined, everyone began to enter the most critical discussion: although the exploration of the Carp Nebula is the common wealth of the entire Tianyuan Star civilization, the contribution of the Ocean Group is particularly prominent. So, how should this interest be divided?
This thing must be made clear, and 'bastards' are prone to accidents.
