History of Human Space Exploitation

Chapter 43 Green Sun Annihilation
Tomorrow is Pioneer's Day, and it is also a "big day" for Zhang Xiaoling and Li Jufei's planet.

That morning, Zhang Xiaoling was going to wake Li Jufei up to watch a rare "performance".Before going to call Li Jufei, Zhang Xiaoling got up almost four or ten minutes earlier to cook noodles for Li Jufei for breakfast.Guess what, Zhang Xiaoling called Li Jufei three times, but Li Jufei still didn't get up.

Then Zhang Xiaoling became anxious, how anxious?Zhang Xiaoling went to the dining table and carried the bowl of noodles that she cooked just now, ran to the bed and poured a bowl of noodles directly on Li Jufei's head covered by the quilt.It feels a bit like abusing Li Jufei, right?There are more extremes in the back.

After falling down, Li Jufei still didn't get up, Zhang Xiaoling yelled three more times, and then Li Jufei still didn't get up.Guess, Li Jufei is awake, how can there be a bowl of such hot noodles splashed on the head and not wake up?But it is estimated that Li Jufei was also angry, so she pretended not to wake up.

And guess what?Zhang Xiaoling used the noodle bowl just now, scooped up a large bowl of water from the toilet, and poured it on Li Jufei's head.At this time, their gray peach Siberian husky "Wensheng" also ran to the bedroom and began to lick the noodles scattered on Li Jufei's quilt with relish.

Just when Li Jufei opened the quilt and was about to jump up and get angry, the "performance" that shook the entire planet began.

Suddenly, black shadows hung over their already dim sky.

What should come is still here.Li Jufei, who originally wanted to make a noise, suddenly froze, and he who wanted to reach out to hit Li Jufei, his raised hand froze along with his head, and stopped beside his head.

It's time to come, it's finally here.

300 years ago, the ancestors of Li Jufei and Zhang Xiaoling came to this strange galaxy.The strange thing about this galaxy is that the three planets orbiting the host star are all gas giants, and all the solid habitable worlds are satellites of these gas planets.However, for those political opponents who couldn't stay in the Rislan galaxy 300 years ago, the living conditions here are already much better than places like the ten-body galaxy where birds don't lay eggs.

The satellite they lived on was named PL-3, and the green gaseous main planet orbited by the satellite was called SE-7.This extremely casual naming method is rare in the history of human beings developing various galaxies in the past many years.Perhaps, the first group of settlers on this satellite didn't even think about "living" here.

In the entire galaxy, the resources of the three gaseous planets and the nineteen large and small solid-state satellites around them are pitifully small. In addition, Li Jufei’s ancestors who first came here did not have much capital or technology accumulation to boast about. The exploration of new settlements by this group of people has continued for nearly 300 years.Initially, they felt that from a high probability point of view, such galaxies accumulating gaseous planets should have enough light fusion matter to be mined, so that they should be able to produce at least 70 to 3 planets within 4 to [-] years An M-class fusion weapon.

However, the facts gave this wave of initial settlers a blow.Materials such as tritium, deuterium, and helium-3 that can be found almost everywhere in other galaxies in the entire galaxy are pitifully small here, and mining is difficult and costly.Under such circumstances, a governing council of settlers could only extend the plan to a three-generational effort.The morning when Li Jufei was splashed with noodles was the result of two M-class fusion weapons obtained by the committee after nearly 300 years of mining and manufacturing.

The whole process is actually very simple, and there are no surprises at all, because for 600 years, human beings have obtained a usable star tunnel by blowing up a gaseous planet similar to Neptune, both in terms of theoretical models and practical data.Although there have been frictions and conflicts between various star regions over the years, everyone seems to maintain a common bottom line, that is, any organization, political entity, company, or individual, as long as they open a new star region through this "traditional" method The tunnels will be numbered sequentially along the opening time for the star tunnels, and the Welsh information flow will be broadcast to all human beings.

Along with the simultaneous broadcast of the star tunnel coordinates and numbers, there are also various physical data when the star tunnel is opened, including basic data such as the mass, composition, and deconstruction of the original gaseous planet, as well as the star tunnel diameter, magnetic field, and curvature after opening. .These have created a good theoretical foundation for Li Jufei and his small group to successfully open a new star tunnel.

It's time to come, it's coming.

Today is Pioneer's Day...

The fusion explosion that destroyed the gaseous planet PL-10937 in the GL-3 galaxy was all accomplished in that violent and limited explosion, over the course of about 37 seconds.

Although Li Jufei and others live on the orbiting satellite of PL-3, only 40.00% of the natural light and less than 7% of the heat radiation in daily life come from this gaseous planet itself, but based on ancient habits, people still like Call it the sun.It was the time of the explosion, [-]:[-] am in the western hemisphere where Li Jufei’s home is located, and it was a day, that is, the “day” in each autobiographical cycle of the SE-[-] satellite, or the hours when the natural light was the brightest.

After the violent and silent fusion explosion for more than 30 seconds, suddenly, black shadows enveloped Li Jufei and the others.However, in all the nearby blocks, nearby continents, and nearby satellites, except for a few soft sighs, no one uttered the mourning that was caused by the annihilation of Neptune on the earth 600 years ago.Because, after all, this is the "collective plan" that has been planned for nearly 300 years, and it is also the only hope for this group of exiled settlers and their descendants.

Why did Zhang Xiaoling use such a violent method to wake up Li Jufei?Because ordinary people, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to have the opportunity to see the process of blasting gaseous planets to open star tunnels. Even today, it is rare in the entire Virgo supercluster.After all, there are still unknown accidents and dangers in such a violent gaseous planet blasting operation. Generally speaking, civilians will ask to be at a position beyond a thousand light seconds.

The people around the gaseous planet PL-3 are really lucky, they can "get close" to watch such a process at a distance of 150 light seconds, which is 500 million kilometers, and the whole blasting process and the collapse of the star tunnel in more than half a minute later During the shrinking process, no accidents occurred.Li Jufei and Zhang Xiaoling's generation of young people, after nearly 300 years of hard work and enduring the light and warmth brought by stars, can finally use their own hands and wisdom to move towards a broader space.

At this time, only the faint light of artificial lighting is left on the entire planet, and people turn their eyes from the window back to the holographic image well in the house.The hologram was live streaming their first transit probe through the Star Tunnel.

There are almost 10937 million permanent residents in the entire GL-500 galaxy. After waiting quietly for nearly three hours, the probe passed through the star tunnel with a diameter of 937 meters and a length of about [-] kilometers, and sent the first probe feedback information:
"EUREKA!"

According to an ancient encyclopedia, the original meaning of "EUREKA" in ancient Greek "ερηκα heúrēka" is "I found it!".The alienation of the word to express the excitement of scientific discovery is due to the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes.Legend has it that around 200 BC, when Archimedes was testing the crown that might have been adulterated for Heron II, the scientist who was about to enter the bathtub realized the mystery of buoyancy from the overflowing water and jumped. Come out and dance.The naked Archimedes is said to have shouted "ερηκα heúrēka".

Another famous example is about 2000 years after Archimedes, the famous mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss wrote in his diary on July 1796, 7 about his discovery that any positive integer can be expressed as The law of the sum of up to three triangular numbers: "EYPHKA! num = Δ+Δ+Δ".The interesting stories of these senior scientists are undoubtedly inspiring future generations of scientific researchers.

The blasting operation was chosen on the day of Pioneer's Day, which is celebrated by human beings in the entire galaxy cluster, and it was the result of the people in the galaxy GL-10937 voting together.We hope that this traditional and upwardly meaningful day can bless and bless the people who come out of here in the future, and not forget the tradition that human beings have worked hard to develop in the universe for thousands of years, and that the survival of ourselves and everyone can be more meaningful because of our own efforts. .
