The last human in the universe

Chapter 208 Harsh Environment
The vast galaxy, the vast space, the time flies, and the time flows.

One hundred years after another passed, countless people woke up, and countless people fell asleep.One after another, different faces appeared and disappeared in front of Zhao Changxing, disappeared and appeared again, like reincarnation one by one.

Sometimes, a certain face has not appeared in front of Zhao Changxing for many, many years, and Zhao Changxing will know that that person exhausted his life during the long voyage and left this world forever.

He saw babies become children, children became teenagers, teenagers became youths, youths became middle ages and old ages, until he died.

For Zhao Changxing, the reincarnation of life and death has lost the power to shake the mind and emotions, and has become a very normal and insignificant thing.However, even so, he still always retains human emotions.

He will still be sad, he will still be sad, he will still be excited and joyful.What worried him was that because of the long lifespan, the human part was exhausted and he became a "god", which did not happen in the end.

A god without human emotions is also not what Zhao Changxing hopes to become.He knew that if he became a "god", then I am afraid that human civilization will lose a lot of things, and eventually disappear to everyone.

During these hundreds of years, he still put most of his energy into learning just like every interstellar voyage in the past.

There is so much new knowledge produced by human civilization that there was no time to learn it completely in the past.Now, civilization has stopped to a certain extent, and the pace of progress has stopped, which has become the best moment for him to catch up with the progress of civilization.

One day, the leader of the civilization responsible for the daily management of civilization found him.

"Leader, the inertial navigation phase is over, and it's time to slow down."

At this moment, Zhao Changxing suddenly realized that the long voyage of hundreds of years and a total distance of more than 20 light years had come to an end.

It only needs to go through the deceleration phase of almost 100 years, and the human fleet will reach the destination of this voyage.

"Okay." He said, "Go ahead with the plan."

"Yes."

The inertial navigation stage is the stage with the fewest failures of the space carrier and passenger and cargo spacecraft.Because many parts do not need to operate or only need to operate at low power.

Now that the propulsion engines are about to start up again, the number of failures is bound to increase.It's time to arrange to wake up more hands.

As a result, in the human fleet, millions of engineers and scientists, logistics personnel, service personnel, etc. were awakened again.Many roller rooms that have been sealed for hundreds of years have also been connected to the life support system again, welcoming residents.

Under people's control, the space carrier and the passenger and cargo spaceship turned respectively, and began to eject violent plasma flames.

At the same time, more than [-] satellites of various types did not slow down with the human fleet.They were released by the spaceships, and instead began to accelerate.

If there is no accident, after more than forty years at most, they will quickly pass by the destination of this voyage at a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second-the star system numbered H1 by human civilization.

During the short flyby, these satellites will explore all the information about this star system on the spot at the closest speed, and send them back to the human fleet through the transit satellite, for the human fleet to reach the target star before reaching the target star. At the time of the system, the most reasonable and scientific arrangements can be made for the development time of the following hundreds of years based on the actual situation.

The time when we can develop peacefully is always precious.Every time period must be used as much as possible.

The human fleet at this moment has enough confidence and resources to make such a seemingly wasteful early detection operation.

Although there were frequent accidents on the way, the destination was changed twice, and an extremely dangerous war was experienced in the middle, but at this moment, because of Zhao Changxing's insistence a long time ago, the resources and energy reserves in the human fleet are still at a high level.

There are only more than 1 satellites, just drizzle, and there will be no impact at all.As in the past, due to resource and energy constraints, even Zhao Changxing had to shave his head, it will never happen.

Under this arrangement, the human fleet spent decades in peace again.Various data from the H1 galaxy arrived as scheduled, and after the accumulation reached a certain level, the high-level and elites of various civilizations began to be awakened and began to participate in the huge project of formulating long-term development plans for civilization.

The main star of the H1 galaxy is a white subgiant star with a mass larger than the sun. Correspondingly, its surface temperature is higher than that of the sun, and its radiation is also more violent than the sun.

It is about the same age as the sun.But for a star, the higher its mass, the shorter its lifespan.Although its age is similar to the sun, but the sun is only in its prime at the moment, but it has already shown signs of aging.

It is inevitably evolving towards a red giant star.

At its closest point, there is a gravitationally locked wretched rocky planet about the same mass as Earth, but 12% smaller in radius.This means it has a higher density.

Its side facing the star is hot all day long, with a maximum temperature of nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, enough to melt a lot of steel.On the back it is cold all day long.

In addition to this planet, it has four other large planets, two of which are rocky and two are gaseous.In addition, there are only a few dwarf planets.

What makes scientists feel a little strange is that in this galaxy, apart from larger stars and their satellites, there are very few celestial bodies such as asteroids and comets.This can be completely different from the solar system.

In the solar system, there are at least millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, not to mention the number of overseas celestial bodies such as the Kuiper belt and the ecliptic scattered disk.

A group of scientists studied for a long time before finally reaching a more unified opinion.They believe that this may be hundreds of millions of years ago, another star passed by it at close range, and its gravity caused chaos inside the star system. Finally, under the joint action of the star and many large planets, the large Some low-mass celestial bodies were either captured by the gravity of the large planets and became satellites, or crashed into the large planets, and most of the rest were expelled from the galaxy.

In this way, in this star system, there are only two or three big cats and kittens, and there are no large numbers, different shapes, and strange small stars.

But these are all academic discussions.From a practical point of view, it doesn't matter whether there are those small stars or not.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.

At this moment, the speed of the human fleet relative to the star H1 has already decreased to only tens of kilometers per second, and it is still decreasing rapidly.

In the end, the entire fleet landed in the H1 galaxy, next to the fourth planet from the inside out—the gas giant planet numbered H1-4 similar to Saturn.

The mass and size of the H1-4 planet are similar to Saturn, but because of the more violent radiation of the H1 star, its surface temperature is much higher than that of Saturn, and its magnetic field is also stronger.

It was found that the magnetic field of planet H1-4 extends to millions of kilometers away, covering almost its entire satellite system.The fierce radiation from the star H1 collided with the planet's magnetic field, creating a magnificent and brilliant aurora hundreds of thousands of times larger than what could be seen on the earth.

Due to the influence of its own movement and radiation, as well as the combined effect of satellite gravity, there are extremely violent storms on the planet H1-4.Through observation instruments, people can clearly see that on the edge of the planet's equator, there is a huge storm covering an area of ​​more than one billion square kilometers, which occupies about one-fortyth of the planet's surface area, which is larger than that of Jupiter. The Great Red Spot above it is even larger, more than three times the total surface area of ​​the Earth.

Further observations have shown that in this huge storm, the fastest wind speed is even close to the speed of sound.Under such a violent storm, even if the most advanced "Mercury" class battleship of human civilization accidentally fell into it, it would be directly torn apart.

Space environment is always different from planet surface environment.

At the same time, under the influence of this planet, the environment of many satellites revolving around it is also very harsh.Some are full of lava, some have frequent earthquakes, and some ice volcanoes ejected from satellites can even be ejected directly into orbit.

But human civilization still chose this planet as its first foothold.The reason is simple, even though its environment is extremely harsh, compared to other planets, its environment is still considered the best.

The scientific and technological strength of human civilization is enough to shield the influence of all kinds of unfavorable factors, and tenaciously take root here.At most, the living base needs to be made thicker, the reliability of each component needs to be higher, and the space activities need to be more cautious.

At this moment, Zhao Changxing's mood was not affected by the harsh environment in front of him at all.

Looking at the huge stars, huge planets, and many satellites, Zhao Changxing was so excited that he even made an exception and drank a glass of wine at the celebration.

"Here will be the place where our human civilization will really take off. Here, we will have a population of hundreds of billions, and we will truly step into the category of a third-level civilization. We will have stronger strength, and we will no longer be afraid of Any wind or rain."

In the huge banquet hall, facing the gazes of many high-level civilizations and elites, and facing the media cameras, Zhao Changxing raised his wine glass.But what he was facing was not the direction of the guests, but the direction of the Jagged Nebula.

"This cup, I respect the heroes who escorted us to finally arrive here safely."
