Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 520 Explorer ([-])

Navigating in the void of the universe is very boring, especially in the regions outside the star system. These areas are very empty, and many stars seem to be close at hand. In fact, the distances of these star systems are calculated in light years. .

During the long-term interstellar voyage, the psychological problems of astronauts are a very important topic. The Alliance even set up an institution such as the Institute of Cosmic Psychology to study the psychological diseases that astronauts are prone to during space voyages.

On the explorer space cruiser, political commissar Zhang Handong has another important duty in addition to supervising the discipline of the captain and soldiers: psychological counseling.

In order to alleviate the psychological problems of astronauts, not only the living facilities on the battleship are complete, but also the entertainment facilities are also very complete.

Zhang Handong is playing space rugby with a few soldiers. Space rugby is completely different from Blue Star ground rugby. Due to the microgravity environment of space, space rugby is played very wildly. They use their strengthened bodies to collide crazily in the field. Even fighting techniques are taken out.

"Damn it, Commissioner Zhang, you're being silly."

"Soldiers never tire of deceit."

Zhang Handong kicked away a guy who was trying to grab the rugby, and leaped towards the opponent's goal. However, the opponent's players were not vegetarian, so two blue team members outflanked him.

"John, go ahead."

Zhang Handong threw the ball to another red team member with a feint, and the two blue team members who were outflanking from left and right collided with Zhang Handong in an instant.

At this time, outside the stadium, there are endless cheering audiences and blue sky and white clouds. Obviously, this is a holographic simulation environment, and only the players in the lounge on the side are real people.

However, the two teams, who are exercising fiercely on the field, seem to be in a space rugby field in the solar system.

Ma Wu, who just got off his shift, also came outside the venue, looked at Zhang Handong and others who were tumbling across the venue, smiled and shook his head, he sat on a chair beside him, opened the holographic bracelet and watched the news.

Fortunately, the quantum communication system of the explorer has not yet experienced delays, and he can browse the internal news of the alliance at any time.

[Mars Daily: Mars welcomes all Union citizens to settle down and buy properties. Each person can get 100 square meters of housing for free, and arrange work and annual income of 1 million yuan tax exemption for 5 years...]
[War and Peace Weekly: The Union Army welcomes citizens to actively join the army, defend the solar system, and march into the Milky Way...]
[Oceania United News: Madagascar applied to the Alliance Council to become the first nature protection country, and the Alliance Council has approved it. From April 2, Galaxy 4, the natural country of Madagascar will officially be included in the management of the Alliance...]
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Handong wiped his sweat with a towel while talking.

"No, just browse the news of the alliance." Ma Wu continued to read the news.

张汉东坐下来喝了一口营养液之后，看了看手表的时间［银河2年4月4日12：21］。

"Is Hai Bo commanding the battleship now?"

"Yes."

"Have you found anything unusual?"

"Anomaly? Does Commissioner Zhang mean aliens?" Ma Wu raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Both." Zhang Handong put down the towel and water bottle, opened the holographic bracelet and prepared to record something.

"Everything is normal, but 11 asteroids with a diameter of more than 50 meters were found near the channel. The star map database has been updated, and the others have not been found." Ma Wu thought for a while and replied.

While recording these materials, Zhang Handong flipped through the database. He has the habit of keeping a diary, and soon he recorded a full page.

"Huh? Gravitational waves?"

"It should be caused by the gravitational bomb being tested at the Void Test Site recently. We are now about 370 AU from the Herik planetary fortress, and 346 AU from the Void Test Site. It is very normal to be able to receive gravitational waves." Ma Wu explained.

Zhang Handong raised his eyebrows and continued to write in his diary.

"How is our ship's fuel and supplies stockpiled?"

"Everything is normal. If I reach the first warning line, I will look for some planets for supplies." Ma Wu replied.

……

Over time, the gravitational bomb has been tested six times. After so many tests, the Institute of Gravity has obtained a lot of data. Through further analysis and research on these data, An Shitong, Wang Wenhua and others have obtained unprecedented development.

For example, they have successfully analyzed the principle of gravitational enhancement and weakening, and also discovered the superluminal phenomenon under strong gravitational force, and the low light velocity phenomenon under weak gravitational force.

These circumstances show that the speed of light in the universe is not necessarily constant, especially when the gravitational intensity in the early stage of the universe was higher than that of modern times. At that time, the speed of light should be higher than 30 kilometers per second. If the universe continues to expand in the future, the speed of light may will slowly decline.

For these theories, Huang Haojie is also more or less researching. Regarding the fact that the universe has a beginning and an end, Huang Haojie’s view of the universe is [starting point (singularity)—big bang—redshift (expansion)—center point (balance point)—blue shift (shrink)—heat death collapse—end point (starting point)], this process is repeated in circles.

Of course, regardless of redshift and blueshift, human civilization has not reached the point where we need to think about the destruction of the universe. After all, even if the universe is going to be destroyed, it will be hundreds of millions of years later, so we should take care of the things in the Milky Way in front of us.

而引力研究院已经定型量产了1天文单位量级引力炸弹、5天文单位量级引力炸弹、25天文单位量级引力炸弹，目前正在研发100天文单位量级和500天文单位量级的。

The 100 AU and 25 AU gravitational bombs were transformed into space mines and then hidden in the asteroids. The Alliance Army planned to deploy a layer of space minefields in an area about 1000 to 1500 AU from the sun.

Then use gravitational bombs of the order of 25 AU and 5 AU to deploy a second layer of space minefields within a range of about 500-600 AU from the sun.

The gravitational bombs or gravitational missiles equipped on the battleship are of the order of 5 astronomical units and 1 astronomical unit.

Of course, since mines are to be laid, the early warning system must also have the ability to detect the opponent in advance. The Supreme Command decided to deploy the first layer of early warning satellites in the area about 1500-1600 AU from the sun; in the area of ​​600-700 AU, The second layer of early warning satellites is arranged; and the early warning satellites near the Oort cloud are the third layer of early warning satellite systems.

The minefields and early warning systems intersect in the outer layer of the solar system, forming the first line of defense of the solar system. Unless the opponent keeps using a large-scale army to detect the road and mine, otherwise it will be difficult to break into the border of the Oort cloud of the solar system. It can rush in, and it is also a small-scale fleet.

As long as the alien civilization is not a third-level or fourth-level civilization, the human civilization is in the second-level civilization, and the possibility of losing is very small. The "Shenzhou Chixian" has been completed, and the "Shenzhou Chixian" is under construction.

In other words, human civilization can temporarily let go of its hands and feet, and carry out the work of developing the universe.
