Beneath Deep Space

Just as the entire human social system was undergoing major changes, the renovation project inside the spacecraft was also not left behind.

Large smelting centers are working overtime to purify mineral materials, and are using various steels and alloys in stock to repair Noah's "honeycomb structure."

Of course, people repair only part of it, and some holes do not need to be repaired. According to some biologists, Noah's upper, middle and lower layers are greatly connected, which is conducive to the formation of a large ecosystem. To this end, a large number of ecologists have specially formulated detailed transformation plans. If these technologies can be realized, real clouds and natural precipitation may form in Noah!

Not only that, while the ecosystem is greatly improved, various functional blocks will also be rebuilt. In addition to the existing residential areas and industrial areas, additional commercial areas, entertainment areas, schools and other buildings will be built.

Yu Yifeng sat in the captain's room and looked at a report. The construction work of the thermal power station in the magma area was also proceeding in an orderly manner...

We have encountered a lot of difficulties in this regard, because the pile of magma is in a high-gravity area and requires a lot of new materials. It is also very hot there, and the robots responsible for the construction often go on strike...

However, after much stumbling, the first experimental thermal power station was finally completed within three months!

The first thermal power station has a power of about 2 million watts...

Yu Yifeng was not worried, but a kind of faint joy filled his heart.

Not only he, but many people familiar with the matter are also excited about the first thermal power station.

This magma is the precious energy left behind by supernovae. There is a large amount of it, so it must be good to use it. Human beings never have too much energy, because it can be used to extract the living materials that people are short of.

For example, those oxides can extract oxygen from them, and hydrogen, as the most abundant element in the universe, is also very easy to collect. The two together are water.

People use various chemical, physical and other methods, and as long as they are willing to consume energy, water, chemical fertilizers, organic matter and other scarce materials can still be produced.

Yu Yifeng put these reports aside for the time being, and wrote "approval" and "agree" if a reply was needed.

Then he looked at the scientists' reports.

There is nothing particularly surprising about the scientists' reports, but they are numerous.

Now people are in a very stable research environment, and there are no flying saucers or aliens coming out to disrupt the situation, so various research reports are emerging one after another.

Human beings finally have time to carry out various scientific research activities!

Leaving aside other small developments, one report particularly caught Yu Yifeng's mind. This is a report given by an astronomical team. In the report, the movement direction of the Noah spacecraft is roughly calculated.

Yu Yifeng's heart moved. This is very important news. Without the resources of a planet to back it up, flying around in the universe is always an insecure thing...

The position of the sun is located on an arm of the Orion Arm, roughly between Sagittarius and Arceus, which can be said to be a remote place.

According to this report, the direction of Noah's movement is the direction leading to the Centaur Arm...

It also happens to be the core direction of the Milky Way!

Judging from the current speed of movement, it is estimated that it will take one to two thousand years for Noah to reach the Centaur Arm. Taking into account the relativistic effect of time, people will feel it, and it will take two hundred to four hundred years...

Seeing this, Yu Yifeng felt a little bad, and his brows wrinkled...

Hundreds of years are too long!

Well, it doesn't matter what the Orion Arm or the Sagittarius Arm is. What he cares most about is whether he can encounter a star or planet.

Normally, stars are accompanied by planets. As long as it is an Earth-like planet, humans can obtain resources from it. There is no need to talk about resource shortages or energy shortages.

Their current resource shortage situation is a bit like the situation of the Green Light People back then...

The movement trajectory of Noah can be said to be a straight line. With human capabilities, we can only use nuclear bombs to slightly change the direction of movement; of course, scientific research can also use the method of discarding materials outward to slow it down or even stop it...

It would be great if this motion trajectory happened to sweep within the range of a star. Humans are completely capable of stopping the spacecraft and then slowly flying to a planet.

But if the route deviates from the star by 0.1 light-years or 0.01 light-years, human technology will be somewhat powerless. Even a distance of 0.01 light-years would allow Noah to fly for hundreds or thousands of years...Whether you admit it or not, that's just the way it is.

"The probability of encountering a star within the flight path is very slim!"

Yu Yifeng also knew that this hope was slim. Although the Milky Way has many stars, most of them are concentrated in the center of the Milky Way.

For nearby cantilevers, the density of stars per cubic light-year is less than one thousandth. How can humans be so lucky? !

Therefore, the best way is to use nuclear bombs to slightly change the direction of Noah's movement, correct its direction of movement, and sail towards a closer star system.

But...when the speed is so high, how easy is it to change? The mass of the nuclear bomb thrown cannot be too large, otherwise the speed of the entire spacecraft will be reduced due to the peculiar properties of Noah.

"It's really troublesome..." He scratched his hair and continued reading the report.

Because the Noah spacecraft moves close to the speed of light, particles in the universe can easily destroy the scientific instruments probed into space junk. Even if the detector is hidden behind the direction of Noah's movement, coupled with a thick protective layer, it will only extend the observation time, and it may be exploded by the gamma rays from behind.

Scientists have made various attempts to observe the outside world. But one radio telescope was damaged and the effect was not good.

Because the telescope can only see the stars behind the direction of movement, but cannot see the stars in the direction of Noah... What is the use of this?

So people can only roughly calculate their position based on past starry sky maps. There is a star system called "187J3X1" with four planets on it 21.3 light-years away from Noah.

If we follow Noah's current trajectory, the closest distance is about 0.67 light years!

0.67 light-years is still too much!

Yu Yifeng frowned. Rough calculations are not feasible in this situation. By then, even if the deviation distance is only 0.01 light-years, it will far exceed human navigation capabilities.

Seeing this, he finally knew what these scientists wanted to do... They had to use a gravitational wave telescope to make precise measurements and then formulate a plan!

After all, what gravitational wave telescopes see is not direct light, but ubiquitous "waves"! It can easily "see" the parts obscured by Noah.

But... isn't it too risky? What if this alien creation is blown up by high-speed particles?

Even the gravitational wave telescope cannot detect the outside world inside Noah, it must explore the universe.

If it is damaged, humans will have no way to repair it. If it is broken, it will be completely broken!

Yu Yifeng's face was a little uncertain, and he felt that he could not make this decision.

"No, we must first develop high-strength defensive armor and ensure the safety of the gravitational wave telescope. The gravitational wave telescope must not be damaged!"
