The last human in the universe

Chapter 172 Peacock Six

In this wide variety of exercises that are as close to actual combat as possible for many years, a large number of strategic and tactical principles that people used to regard as the standard were directly discarded, and a large number of new combat regulations were added instead.

With the formation and improvement of strategies and tactics, and the raging "wars" that spread throughout the galaxy, large quantities of resources and wealth flowed like rivers.If it weren't for the fact that the GDP of civilization has already reached 60 trillion human currency, then the government of human civilization would have gone bankrupt long ago.

It is not an exaggeration to say that every mature and competent soldier, every proven combat regulation and skill is piled up with countless money and wealth.

Time passed slowly under such circumstances until 1540 in the new calendar.

At this moment, it has been 9352 years since human civilization came to the Rakai 400 galaxy.

At this moment, human civilization has spent 400 years of peace.The population has expanded from a few million to more than 2 million, a complete scientific and technological system and military system have been formed, and the level of science and technology has been raised to the peak of the second-level civilization.

If there are some breakthroughs in the basic theory and fill in some gaps that cannot be obtained from the Moyun Litar civilization, it will be a matter of course to become a third-level civilization and master the large-scale industrial production of antimatter. As it is now, they only know it but don't know why, they can only produce antimatter mechanically, but they don't know what other applications this technology has in other levels.

At this moment, there are only 100 years left before the scheduled time to finally leave this galaxy.The civilization strategy needs to turn again, and it is time to start preparations for a new interstellar voyage that is destined to go to war and take a long time.

Prior to this, based on the good momentum of the vigorous development of human civilization, it is not without civilization leaders and a team of scientists who made suggestions to Zhao Changxing, believing that human civilization has been strictly implementing the "environmental protection" policy at this stage, and that it was discovered remotely by super civilizations. The probability of a civilization is not high. Human beings can stay here and develop for another 200 years before leaving.

Maybe there will be another major technological breakthrough during this period of time.However, once you leave this galaxy, most people will fall into hibernation, and scientific development will come to a complete standstill as a matter of course.

The people who support this idea are not in the majority, but they are not in the minority either.In this regard, Zhao Changxing resolutely rejected the proposal.

"We can't pin the fate of civilization on luck. Maybe this time we delayed for 100 or 200 years, and then we were lucky enough to escape the search of advanced civilizations. Then after that, will there still be some people who still have luck? Hope to extend the stay again? Even if we leave this galaxy, in the next galaxy, will there still be people who want to procrastinate?
People in the earth age have an old saying that there is no way to get wet shoes when you often walk by the river. Once the rules are set, you need to follow them. Only in this way can the hope of civilization survive. "

Zhao Changxing said so.

Zhao Changxing's attitude finally overwhelmed those voices who wanted to extend the stay.As a result, the civilization strategy turned again.

——Zhao Changxing knows that even if there is this incident, when faced with the same situation in the future, someone will definitely raise this voice again.Because this generation will grow old and die, and for the new generation, it's just history.

No matter what generation, there will always be people who think that the era they live in is special, and then think that there should be special policies and special treatment for this special era.But for Zhao Changxing, no era is special.

Therefore, there will always be suggestions for delaying departure, and there will always be suggestions for dividing people and sub-persons.But it doesn't matter, just suppress it when the time comes.

After the turmoil has passed and the civilization strategy has officially turned, the most intuitive impact on ordinary people is the newly invested and constructed projects in civilization, such as factories, mining bases, chemical bases, residential bases, etc., of which 90% The above was immediately stopped.The only remaining ones that have not been suspended are all related to the preparation of interstellar voyages.

In the previous hundreds of years, human civilization has been vigorously and unscrupulously expanding.Now, the pace of expansion has finally stopped, and even began to shrink.

There are more than [-] roller space living bases, and more than [-] of them have been abandoned at this moment.Because at the moment there are not enough people to live in them.A large number of construction forces have been idled, and a considerable number of engineers and skilled workers who have adapted to the construction of a factory and then went to another base to build a new factory are directly unemployed.

Because there are not many new projects being built.

But their unemployment won't last long.Soon, new tasks assigned by the government of human civilization will come.

This interstellar voyage, after a period of discussion, people finally set the destination on a star whose mass is almost the same as that of the sun, but has entered the middle-aged and old stage, and has begun to evolve into a red giant star, Peacock VI .

It has a mass very close to that of the sun, its radius is 1.22 times that of the sun, and its volume is about 1.8 times that of the sun.It has a relatively large planetary system, including two rocky planets, a gas giant planet, and two gas giant ice giants, as well as a huge asteroid belt, surrounded by many comets, dwarf planets, and gas and dust it spins.

This star is about 9352 light-years away from the Lakai 12.2 galaxy where human civilization is located at the moment, and it is located in the long-term destination of human civilization-the sparse star region between the Orion Arm and the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way, and it is also known The direction of the junction of the two super civilization territories, but in terms of civilization needs and distance, this star system is not the best choice.

There are three remaining candidate galaxies that are closer to Rakai 9352.One of them has a better environment than Peacock Six.

But Zhao Changxing and the civilization leaders still chose the goal of Peacock Six.The reason is that when choosing a destination star system, absolutely do not choose an environment that is too suitable for the development of intelligent civilization.That's too conspicuous, and it's easy to attract attention and be exposed.At the same time, with the development of science and technology, human civilization has already possessed the ability to sail farther distances. Therefore, it is inevitable to increase the distance from the Rakai 9352 galaxy as much as possible.

The reason is also very simple - Zhao Changxing is worried that the traces of human civilization left in the Lakai 9352 galaxy will be discovered by super civilizations sooner or later.At that time, once this super civilization takes this as the center of the circle, when it searches the surrounding areas in a carpet-like manner, being a little farther away from it can also increase the probability of surviving a little.

Everything is for safe survival.

After considering various factors, the destination was finally set here.

In terms of voyage vehicles, the population of up to [-] million, as well as the materials and energy that support the survival of these [-] million people, are clearly not something that a single voyage ship can carry—during these hundreds of years, it A whole set of complete repairs has been carried out using the latest technology mastered by mankind. Although the various performances are not as good as the original ones, they have improved a bit compared to when human civilization left the solar system on it.

With a population of 1.9 million, 10 million people are hibernating, and if an average hibernation cabin occupies a volume of 1.9 cubic meters, it needs to occupy a total volume of [-] cubic kilometers.

This number is not too big, even if the Yuanhang spacecraft can accommodate 100 1.9 cubic kilometers, it is no problem.But the account cannot be calculated in this way.

The operation of the hibernation chamber also requires energy supply. With 1.9 million hibernation capsules, it is not enough to fill the Yuanhang spacecraft with antimatter energy.

A more realistic plan is to build 20 interstellar spacecraft as large as the Yuanhang spacecraft, and distribute the population that needs to hibernate, various resources and energy needed, and use different spacecraft to carry them.

If you take into account the unexpected situations that may be encountered during the voyage, such as the "kinetic energy thief" encountered last time, it is best to double this number-the extra spaceships are not necessary except for the necessary spaceship maintenance personnel. Manned, all the free space is used to load antimatter energy and various resources, such as water, sugar, salt, gold, silver, copper and iron.

At the same time, all the spaceships in the 30 combat spaceship formations of various levels that human civilization already possesses at this moment also need to be taken away.

Regarding the plan to take away these combat spaceships, after discussions between military experts and spaceship experts, they finally decided on a plan to still rely on the space carrier and take away all the entire combat formations to which they belonged.

The main role of the space carrier is to perform battlefield projection tasks, and is responsible for delivering combat spacecraft and various logistics facilities, energy and resources, and combat readiness materials to the battlefield.Their endurance is relatively strong, but their maneuverability, that is, their acceleration performance is undoubtedly extremely poor compared to combat spaceships.

But even so, compared to the Yuanhang spacecraft, which can only accelerate 0.02 meters per square second, it is still too high.

In normal times, no matter how strong the battery life of an space carrier is, and no matter how many material reserves it has, it is impossible to directly project a combat spacecraft from one star system to another.But it doesn't matter, anyway, there are enough energy on the 40 Yuanhang-like spacecraft, and it will be replenished at that time, so that it can continue to accelerate.

In this way, the final list of spacecraft that needs to be taken away is 40 giant interstellar spacecraft comparable to the Yuanhang spacecraft, one Yuanhang spacecraft, ten "Everest" class spaceships, and 5 "Kunlun" class spaceships. Ships, 15 "Taihang" class space carriers, a total of 71 large and medium-sized space vehicles.

And... counting the population that needs to be carried, as well as various materials, antimatter energy, vehicle self-weight, etc., this time, the mass that human civilization needs to take away is as high as more than 10 trillion tons.
