The last human in the universe

Chapter 108 Nebula
Looking at Cheng Xuanjia who was slumped in the wheelchair, Zhao Changxing bent down solemnly, looking straight into his eyes.

"However, what we have is not enough."

"The army is in its infancy, and a thousand things are waiting to be done. At this stage, we still don't know how to conduct a real interstellar battle. We are doing our best to explore, but the progress is slow."

"Our civilization, our fleet, needs someone who can take a high-level view from the top and point out directional principles. The current first member of the War Council, Marshal Li Dajiang, frankly speaking, I think his level is not as good as yours."

Li Dajiang listened calmly, without any change in expression.

"If you die, the construction of our civilized army may be delayed for decades. Now that the Moyun Litar civilization may come at any time...you just leave like this, are you at ease?"

A sharp light erupted from Cheng Xuanjia's eyes, which didn't look like a dying old man could emit it at all.

"Don't forget, this army was finally established with the support of resources from the Jupiter system. It can be said that you personally forged this army. Obviously, this army is still in its infancy at the moment, So, don't you want to raise it with your own hands?"

A ho-ho-ho sound came out of Cheng Xuanjia's throat.His chest rose and fell rapidly.

Zhao Changxing patted Cheng Xuanjia's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Receive the treatment well, and then live on."

Zhao Changxing didn't know whether his words could arouse Cheng Xuanjia's will to survive, and if so, to what extent, and whether the strong will to survive could really create miracles—although this kind of thing is not known in historical records. It is not uncommon in the records.

So far, the only thing he can do is to hope that the miracle will really exist.

Maybe the medical conditions here on Sedna are better than those in the Jupiter system and the Voyager spacecraft, maybe it's people's sincere hope that moved some gods, maybe the will to survive can really create miracles, in short, Cheng Xuanjia's The body actually started to improve.

He regained lucid thinking, the ability to breathe and eat on his own, and then regained upper body mobility.

At this moment, except that his legs are still numb and he can only use a wheelchair to move around, at least in appearance, he is no different from an ordinary old man.

And Zhao Changxing also announced his new appointment.

His original duties as a war committee were still removed, and he was replaced by the positions of the honorary chairman of the war committee and the chief adviser of the war committee.

Having regained his sobriety, he started his own observation and thinking.

He has followed the soldiers countless times to personally participate in the exercises and training, and he has a detailed understanding of every tactic formulated by the commander, including observing the combat spaceship.The entire war system such as the space carrier, the military factory, the staff department, etc.But he never just watched, never commented on it.

He watched it like this for several years, and he also thought about it for several years.

After that, he slowly wrote down his thoughts over the years.

"What is the soul of an army? What is the source of the army's combat power? What supports them to risk their lives to fight?

Throughout history, ancient and modern, it is obvious that only the army whose driving force is to 'defend the homeland, defend civilization, and defend parents, wives and children' will have the strongest combat effectiveness.Such an army can often accomplish many incredible miracles.

Just such an army is what our civilization needs.

Marshal Li Dajiang has a lot of unique and comprehensive thinking on the overall strategy and tactics. In this regard, I dare not say that he is stronger than him.But I found that Marshal Li Dajiang seems to have neglected the education on spiritual motivations such as 'mission' and 'responsibility'.In this regard, I suggest strengthening. "

……

During the meeting held by the War Council, the committee members unanimously agreed to Cheng Xuanjia's proposal.Therefore, in addition to the conventional physical fitness, discipline, skills, tactics, etc., the training subjects of the soldiers have one more item.

Time is passing by quickly, human civilization is growing, and the human fleet is also growing.

In the past few decades, the combat spaceship has undergone more than 20 major iterations, and its performance has not improved much compared to when the fleet was just established. After all, basic science has not improved during this period. No big breakthroughs.

However, the performance improvement is not much, but the overall architecture and design ideas have undergone earth-shaking changes.Like, with the same technology and the same resources, some people can draw beautiful mountains and rivers, while others can only doodle a chicken.

The engine is still the same engine, and the armor is still the same armor, but the current spaceship is completely different from the past.The current spaceship is not only easier to operate, but also less prone to errors, and its combat efficiency has also been greatly improved.Even the environment inside the ship has been greatly improved, making it more suitable for soldiers to fight for a long time.

As of now, the human fleet has a total of 10 soldiers, including commanders, soldiers, logistics, civilians, scientific research, military industry and other positions.10 of the new combat spaceships that require 12-500 front-line fighters to operate have already been built.Three large space carriers have been built.

With the support of large-scale resources from the Jupiter system, human civilization is also developing rapidly.

At this moment, the total population of human civilization has exceeded 600 million people.

Time passed slowly, and after a long time, the full-wavelength space telescope array arranged near the Sedna star and always aimed at the direction of the star Lalande 21185 reported a message to Zhao Changxing.

Ever since it was learned that the Moyunlitar civilization that exterminated the main body of the deep space civilization is in the Laland 21185 galaxy, human civilization has never relaxed its monitoring of that direction.

Every breakthrough in space observation technology must first be applied here.Although almost everyone knew clearly that even if the arrival of the Moyun Litar civilization was warned in advance, the situation would not change in any way.

Because human civilization not only can't fight, it can't even run.And, it will remain so for a long time to come.

At present, human civilization has been developing steadily for more than 400 years.But even if human civilization is given another 1000 years, it is still impossible to have the ability to defeat the Moyun Litar civilization, or to have the ability to conduct interstellar navigation.

But Zhao Changxing still persisted in doing so.He always believed that even if it was death, he had to die clearly, and he couldn't just die like this.

When he first received this information, Zhao Changxing was shocked for a moment, subconsciously thinking that the space telescope array had discovered traces of the Moyun Litar Civilization Fleet.But after looking at it, I found that it was not.

The Space Telescope Array, in the direction of the star Lalande 21185, about 0.95 light-years away from Sedna, discovered a slightly strange small reflection nebula.

Such things as interstellar dust clouds are not uncommon in the universe.It is big and small, and the big one can stretch for hundreds of light years, and many new stars are bred inside it.If it is small, its range may only be calculated in kilometers, which is not noticeable at all.

Just like the small reflection nebula discovered at this moment, its size is only about 20*16*7 million kilometers according to observations, and it belongs to a small one in the universe.

But it is very strange that people did not find any radiators around this small nebula for its reflection.

There are no neutron stars, no stars, no black holes.

Nothing at all.

It has been established that it is not an emission nebula that emits light by itself.People have never searched for it in this area before, and this can also be proved.

So, this means that there must be something, or some physical process that people don't understand, happened near this small nebula, and caused the originally dark interstellar dust cloud to reflect light.

This should be the domain of astronomers and physicists.It was only because Zhao Changxing had previously issued an order to "report any anomalies in the direction of the star Lalande 21185", that this incident was reported to him.

"Continue to observe."

Zhao Changxing made an opinion on how to deal with it.

But Zhuang Yunwei, the chief scientist of the Academy of Military Sciences of Human Civilization who heard the news, reported a guess to Zhao Changxing full of worry.

"Leader, it's possible, possibly, the propulsion of the spacecraft that lit up this previously dim nebula. If, if it uses ion propulsion."

Zhao Changxing frowned immediately.

"We have already done calculations. If the ejection power of the ion thruster is large enough and the ejection area is wide enough, it can achieve the effect of lighting up a nebula."

"Why didn't we observe the plume?"

Zhao Changxing raised a question.

Obviously, the charged plasma ejected by the ion thruster has extremely high temperature and brightness.If a plume can light up a nebula, there's no reason humans can't observe it.

"Its spray direction may not be aimed at us." Zhuang Yunwei said in a low voice: "Even we now have certain high-directional technology, which only condenses the spray direction in a very small range, rather than Spread over a large area."

This explanation makes perfect sense and makes perfect sense.But again, plausible explanations are not necessarily correct.

Zhao Changxing's gaze became deep and distant: "Can you find further evidence?"

Zhuang Yunwei's expression became more and more serious: "If our guess is correct, then I can predict that this nebula will soon dim again. Because...that fleet will pass through it soon."

Just as Zhuang Yunwei predicted, after only three days, it went out.Like it never came on.
