Deep Space Fleet

Here is the human branch represented by Captan, the third planet, and the Golden Sun.

The climate on the surface of the planet is always so cold and harsh. At a temperature of more than 180 degrees below zero, water vapor and carbon dioxide have frozen into a white solid. In the north and south poles of this planet, you can even find lakes composed of organic matter such as methane and ethane. These simple organic minerals are undoubtedly quite beneficial for human development.

There are a total of 30 million human colonizers living in this planet, a kilometer deep underground city.

The fire of nuclear fusion brought endless energy and was the greatest courage of human interstellar colony.

The old captain Xu Peng squinted his eyes, looking at the distant starry sky through a thick layer of glass. Because the planet was too cold and the atmosphere was frozen into solids, the air was thin and the stars in the distance were exceptionally clear.

Xu Peng is distinguishing which one is the sun and which one is Glize 581.

The sun at this distance is barely visible with the naked eye, but Glitzer 581 ... is too dim, and it is necessary to use an astronomical telescope to see a fuzzy shadow.

The old captain Xu Peng, because of his energy decline ten years ago, retreated to the second line.

However, the old man is always in a hurry, he has become a volunteer worker at the observatory. In my spare time, taking the children to look at the starry sky, teaching them how to use the telescope, and educating the next generation is also quite good.

But today there are no children coming to the observatory. It may be that the final exam is coming soon. The students are very nervous to review ... The education of the entire civilization is still very strict. Everyone must study carefully.

drop!

It's five o'clock and it's off.

Anyway, idle is boring, Xu Peng dressed up his power armor and walked into the vacuum room not far away.

hiss!

The suction pump slowly pulls the air out of the vacuum chamber. Immediately afterwards, he opened the gate of the air brake and made a loud "click". Fortunately, the gas in this room was almost pumped out, and not much air leaked out.

An electronic reminder sounded in the security gate, "Hello A-level personnel, General Xu Peng."

"Be careful when you go out and pay attention to outdoor safety. The outdoor temperature is currently minus 182 degrees Celsius."

Xu Peng walked along the glass tunnel to an observation platform.

From this position, if you look up, you can see a space elevator with a height of tens of thousands of kilometers. If you use the telescope function that comes with the power armor, you can clearly see that the centrifugal wheel that is rotating above is rotating, and various transport ships come and go And a ship ...

Huge mothership!

Yes, the interstellar expedition must have a super mothership so that it can accommodate a larger population.

And more population means more productivity and maintenance ability. Especially the latter-maintenance capability. In the starry sky, without maintenance, a warship composed of troops cannot span a few light years.

"It would be nice if humans could live longer ... then there would be no need to rotate hibernation for a long time, the population would be less, and the spacecraft could be built smaller."

For this interstellar voyage, the related training of interstellar astronauts is also ongoing, which has been going on for more than two decades.

"In three or five years, the entire Star Fleet will be built ... and ready to go."

Thinking of this, Xu Peng couldn't help but ambition.

Although this is the story of a young man, but the old man is fuming and ambitious, and here he glows and heats up, and it is good to play a little waste heat.

The starting target this time is the nearest star jm7812317, which is about 4.7 light years away from this star near the cosmic string.

11 years ago, humans observed the flash of a nuclear bomb next door through the largest astronomical telescope!

Of course, the flash of some of these nuclear bombs is very faint. According to the rational judgment after the fact, it should be a war inside the planet, not a large-scale interstellar war.

In other words, this unknown civilization actually had an internal nuclear war!

Therefore, after some discussion, the high-level civilization decided that the first stop of interstellar navigation did not have a good goal anyway, so he went to this planet for scientific investigation.

Even if history is collected, it is good to perfect the history of the new civilization.

"However, the military still needs to be strengthened ... Since this civil war broke out internally, it is theoretically militant, and it is unlikely that it will re-emerge within decades, even if it has already destroyed itself. We must guard against one hand ... "

There was a sudden sound in his ears, his good friend Lu Zhongping. Two old men often look at the space above.

Xu Peng nodded: "Interstellar travel is definitely risky, but the benefits will also be greater ... It is too slow and slow for us humans to explore technology here alone. It is not a good thing to go on like this. "

"Even with this civilization, the overall technology is not as developed as we are, there are always something different ..."

"Hey, if you come into contact with a more powerful civilization, you will undoubtedly gain more ... but our common knowledge about cosmic civilization is too lacking. It is better to contact a weaker civilization."

"If we get good results, can we send a copy to the other two civilizations ... just don't know if the Earth Age exists, or if we are just doing useless work."

The wrinkles on Lu Zhongping's face, like the same deep hills and ridges, were still betting with those young people. He still remembers that some people say a hundred years, some say 200 years, and 300 years.

Almost sixty years have passed ...

Time flies like a white horse, and things like a white cloud dog, I really hope that in my lifetime, I can wait until the news ...

"Just don't know how many more years I can live."

Didi! Didi! Didi!

In such emotions, the communication device on the powerhouse suddenly rang. Xu Peng glanced at the red mark, his heart tightened instantly.

Red emergency meeting!

There are three levels of emergency conferences: the highest level of red, the secondary orange, and the lowest level of blue.

The red emergency meeting is almost the most important one. According to regulations, everyone who receives the message must rush to the nearest conference site within 10 minutes!

"I don't know what happened ..."

"Just the asteroid is about to hit the base? Is this enough to meet the red standard?"

Full of worries, the two hurried back to the underground base, guessing wildly in their hearts.

I saw a lot of people screaming and caring along the way, just like a carnival party, a little confused.

"what happened?"

Xu Peng stopped a young man flushed with excitement. This guy even excitedly extruded the blood vessels on his forehead.

"Old Captain ... Earth ... Earth!" Because the young man was too nervous, he started stuttering and was only able to spit out the word "Earth".

But ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ What he meant to express was not that!

This caused him to become more and more anxious, a face flushed like a red balloon, and he forgot how to say the last sentence.

"Is it a letter from the civilization of the earth?" Lu Zhongping, who was on the side, made a look of sudden realization. "So, this is really good news."

"But will earth civilization really do this kind of thing? Let's go, civilization to see."

This misunderstanding has made young people more anxious. What earth civilization is obviously the human branch of the Earth Age, these are two completely different concepts.

Finally, he struggled and thought of a good way. He grabbed his hair fiercely. The severe pain caused him to break through the boundaries of his brain. "Old Captain, Professor Lu ..."

"Not the earth ... it's the Earth Age!"
