While Chen Fan was slowly advancing the plot of "Infinite Horror", the joint government's preliminary preparations for exploring the "Three-Body" universe were basically completed.

"Mr. Xu, the construction period will be over soon."

"Yes."

In the bar, two men wearing engineer badges looked at each other with sad faces.

"Why do you look unhappy?"

"What do you say?"

The two men sighed together, and one of them spoke slowly: "After the Pioneer Project is completed, we will all retire."

They have all reached the mandatory retirement age under the coalition government.

The profession of engineer requires low creativity and can be mass-produced through brain-computer technology, and with the assistance of MOSS, the United Government does not have much demand for senior engineers.

"Stand your last shift."

The other man showed an optimistic expression. He smiled and said, "Let the Pioneer go to see the scenery of the Three-Body Universe for us."

In order to deeply explore the "Three-Body" universe, the United Government launched a giant construction project called Pioneer, which mobilized a total of 450000 experienced engineers to participate.

The Pioneer is a spherical super-mothership with a radius of two light years.

It would take two years from the center of the Trailblazer to reach the edge of the Trailblazer.

This is almost the same as the radius of the Solar System.

From the perspective of the gravitational field, if the boundary of the solar system is taken as the range of influence where the sun's gravitational field dominates beyond the surrounding stars, the radius of the solar system is about 2 light years.

In terms of size, the Pathfinder is comparable to the entire Solar System, and in terms of mass, the Pathfinder is 362 times that of the Sun.

The Blazers are an undisputed behemoth.

The United Government has always maintained an incredible pace of scientific progress. In order to avoid it becoming outdated as soon as it was built, it has never built a single-body spacecraft of this scale before.

But after touching upon the truth of the universe, the scientific development of the United Government almost stagnated, and at the same time faced the arduous task of exploring the "Three-Body" universe.

Therefore, a top-notch technological creation that integrates countless advanced technologies has a reason for existence.

This is the pioneer.

Theoretically, it would take a long time to build a giant with a radius of two light years, but using time technology, the United Government constantly throws the pioneers under construction into the distant past, "stealing" time from the long river of time.

In the end, it only took a few months from the project's initiation to near completion.

The Trail Blazers are almost done with the ribbon cutting.

The entire Pioneer has a total of twelve large living areas, each of which has an ecological environment similar to that of the Earth. It can accommodate more than 30 billion humans and provide ample living space for everyone.

These living areas will be put into use after the exploration project of the "Three-Body" universe is completed, providing a place to accommodate the Earth's rapidly growing population.

In addition to living areas, various types of factories and laboratories are also available.

Any experiment that can be carried out on Earth can also be carried out among the pioneers. Not only that, the United Government has also stored a large amount of rare materials among the pioneers in case of emergency.

In addition to life, production, and scientific research, military is equally important.

Thanks to its huge size, the United Government installed all the weapons that can be installed on the Pioneer. These weapons come from various universes including "Warhammer 40K", and they all have terrible power to destroy the world.

Among them was the ultimate weapon that the Necrons had used to destroy the Star God. The entire hull of the Pathfinder had an area of ​​more than fifty square light years and could be considered an oversized weapons rack filled with various cutting-edge weapons collected by the United Government.

From a distance, the signal lights on the outer shell look like a dazzling galaxy.

“The Trailblazer project is nearing completion.”

"Before we send pioneers into the Three-Body Universe, we should first send a vanguard team to explore the situation inside the Three-Body Universe."

"At least we should know what powerful civilizations exist in the Three-Body Universe."

Zhang Weilai looked serious.

Although the pioneer was built, he believed that it was better to be cautious and thought that he still needed to acquire more information so that he could better operate in the "Three-Body" universe.

Although we learned a lot about the Three-Body universe from the author of "The Three-Body Problem", it is not the real Three-Body universe after all.

Even the author cannot fully understand a real universe.

Just like the "Transformers" universe, the information the United Government obtained from all channels did not include the mysterious civilization far away in the Andromeda Galaxy that could cross hundreds of thousands of light years to strike the Creator civilization.

Storytellers often only know about things surrounding the story, but know very little about things that exist in the story world but are far away from the story itself.

"I agree."

"Agree."

"agree."

"That's exactly what it should be."

The directors are all smart people, and they have the intellectual support of huge think tanks from various countries. They quickly passed Zhang Weilai's proposal with a unanimous vote.

Although the coalition government is anxious to further expand the boundaries of science, it is not in a particularly urgent hurry.

Because it will take quite some time for the scientists of the coalition government to digest the knowledge currently available.

As long as the coalition government does not use time technology to shorten the digestion time, it can still maintain social stability.

“The success of the pioneer project can be replicated.”

Zhang Weilai proposed his second proposal: "If the Pioneers can withstand the harsh test of the Dark Forest Law in the Three-Body Universe, I suggest starting a project to mass-produce Pioneers and use them as regular ships of the United Government."

The directors pursed their lips.

Through parallel space-time technology, the United Government has obtained virtually endless resources, and with the assistance of time-travel technology and MOSS, the United Government can produce an infinite number of "products" in an almost negligible short period of time.

Although the Pioneer is a giant with a radius of two light years, it is just a machine after all, and everything that makes up it is definite and specific.

MOSS kept detailed records of the production process of the first Pioneer, and with just the nod of the five directors, the process could be easily replicated countless times.

But before that, the pioneers must first survive in the Three-Body universe.

Man-made behemoths like the Trailblazer, due to their enormous size, would become very easy targets for any enemy they encountered.

The dark forest in the "Three-Body" universe can verify the safety of pioneers.

If the Pioneer can survive the hunters' attacks and endure all kinds of attack methods, it will prove that the Pioneer is safe and reliable and worthy of mass production and equipping the army.

Otherwise, the coalition government will have to temporarily abandon the giant route and continue to produce small but fine warships. (End of this chapter)
