The Orion Nebula, or Orion, was noticed by ancient civilizations during the process of Chinese and Earth civilization because of its special arrangement and particularly bright stars.
In China, the earliest name of Orion is "Rigel shen, xiu" among the twenty-eight constellations; in the West, it is called the Orion of the Zodiac; and in ancient Egypt, Orion was mythological and became "God" is the Egyptian god who pursues immortality!
Well, after saying so much, I actually want to say that for humans on earth, exploring Orion is actually a path to pursue dreams!
Zhang Yunsheng, the emperor of the new Pearl Star Territory and the Chinese Empire, was full of enthusiasm, "If landing on the moon is the beginning of human spaceflight; then exploring Orion is the representative of mankind becoming a mature galactic civilization!
Galaxy Civilization, this is not a strict hierarchical division, it is just a division that I think.
From the initial terrestrial civilization to the preliminary space civilization and starry sky civilization, we have come to where we are today. But I think that after the starry sky civilization, when we have enough ability to roam in the universe, we will enter the stage we are now, the galactic civilization.
I agree with the divisions of level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 civilizations that already exist in the universe, but I think that as a great Chinese civilization, as an excellent civilization with cultural inheritance as its top priority, we need to have unique code names to describe ours. Civilization, come to record our footsteps and prove our development and progress!
Therefore, I call the next stage of Chinese civilization the Galaxy Civilization!
Since ancient times, about the Milky Way. We are full of imagination and yearning. Not to mention legends such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Magpie Bridge meeting, etc. After looking up at the Milky Way for thousands of years, starting today, we have the ability to explore. Therefore, I think we should give this epoch-making moment a beautiful name.
This era is the Galaxy Era! ”
"Galaxy Era! Galaxy Civilization!"
"Galaxy Age!"
"Galactic Civilization"
……
People cheered and boiled!
At this moment, people's thoughts seem to have broken through the obstacles of the universe and directly reached the depths of the Milky Way. Explore this great era!
"Let us wish the heroes immediate success and smooth journey!"
"Success! Good luck!"
"Success! Good luck!"
Far away in space. Millions of spaceships quietly watched the live broadcast from the projection screen. Many people suddenly felt excited! Yes, we have once again led a great era - the Galaxy Era!
"Let's go!"
Millions of fleets set off, and this is just the power of China! The power of one country. There are actually a million spaceships. This was once unthinkable! Although. This number seems to be less than half of the original Abyss people, but this is already amazing! China's starry sky era has only developed for less than 500 years! Real breakout time. Just the last 200 years!
Look at the countries in the Pearl Star Region. Even the most powerful Shadow Empire is still lagging behind China! In the past 150 years or so, it has been unable to compare with China's rapid progress. The main reason is that space technology has not caught up with China's outbreak.
It was not until this moment that the Pearl Star Territory and China finally understood why space technology should serve as the watershed between Level 5 civilization and Level 4 civilization; because as long as space technology is available, the scope of influence of civilization can be easily expanded! For example, China now can easily control a 50-light-year star field. Although 100 light-years is a bit difficult, it is not impossible. In the past, due to the influence of space, a country could only control one galaxy at most. This was the kingdom, the lowest kingdom.
Among the millions of fleets, the largest ones are of course the spaceships with a range of 10-100 kilometers, including commercial spaceships and military spacecrafts; but other than that, there is no transitional stage, directly rising to large spacecrafts with a range of 1,500 kilometers, and then directly A space continent of 30,000 to 100,000 kilometers!
Among them, the small spaceship is mainly used for combat, maneuvering, etc.; while the 1,500-kilometer spaceship is mainly used as a "city", as a perfect living area for communication, learning, entertainment, and so on. As for work, of course it’s those space continents! As for transportation, they usually use hover cars or small spaceships, and those with money can play with mechas. Of course, the modified suspension car is also very expensive.
This fleet, with more than 300 space continents as the center, more than 20,000 large spaceships as planets, and small spaceships as satellites, forms a spiral "galaxy", a galaxy composed of spaceships, advancing in space as a whole! Because they had to take care of the bulkiness of the space continent, when moving forward, the fleet adopted a strategy of overall warp speed! But now, the overall warp speed has reached 50 times the speed of light, which is close to the theoretical limit. Of course, being able to achieve such speed is also based on space movement technology.
However, nowadays, space transfer technology can generally only be used on small spacecrafts. It is still a bit difficult for large spacecrafts, because moving over very long distances will create huge space pressure, which will put great pressure on large spacecrafts, causing the spacecraft structure to bear huge loads. challenge.
With such a huge fleet, it slowly accelerated towards the Orion Nebula in the distance. Of course, the position had been measured before this. Nowadays, starry sky measurement is accurate and advanced, and there are generally no jokes.
The Orion Nebula is roughly located in front and right of the Pearl Star Field. The positioning of the direction is that the Pearl Star Field faces the center of the Milky Way, and is divided into left and right along the spiral direction of the Milky Way.
After leaving the territory of the Chinese Empire, there is another huge fleet in the distance, which has been waiting for a long time. It turned out to be the fleets of other countries in the Pearl Star Region.
Unlike the Chinese fleet, each of these fleets is independent and not united. Therefore, even the largest fleet is only half of the Chinese fleet. The largest fleet is the union of the Dongsheng Empire and the Nanrong Empire. The races of these two empires are originally from the same family; in the exploration of the universe, they learned the previous lessons and combined them together. However, this ancient empire and race have lost their spirit over the past 160,000 years; in this era of explosion of space technology, they have fallen behind, lagging behind China and the Shadow Empire. But I finally caught up.
And what comes after that is the Empire of Shadows. This empire expanded rapidly in the previous battles, and now it is the new boss of the Pearl Star Territory. However, the Shadow Empire knows best that without the support of China, it would never be where it is today. But China's support is not without cost, that is to say good things for China!
Don't think it's just a sentence, this is actually betraying the interests of the Pearl Star Territory! Over the years, China has directly moved more than tens of thousands of life planets from the Pearl Star Field, and plundered countless mineral resource stars. Such behavior seems to be within the territory of China, but after all, these are the resources of the Pearl Star Territory!
Faced with such behavior, Pearl Star Territory is of course angry! At this time, those countries that have benefited from China have to shamelessly stand up and say that this is China's own territory and they have the right to be independent!
Therefore, the Pearl Star Territory is also divided into three factions. One faction is led by the Shadow Empire and the pro-China faction. These countries are developing the fastest. China reciprocates the favor and is not very stingy with space technology. There is, of course, the defeated faction. They are in opposition to these countries and want to regain their former glory; there are also some who do not help each other but have a subtle rejection of China. These countries are mainly from the areas surrounding China. , they are always under the pressure of China, and they can be said to be trembling with fear. They are afraid that one day they will wake up and suddenly find themselves lying in the prison of China!
Looking at the three distinct teams, Zhang Wanfei, the leader of China, smiled coldly.
This exploration of China is very important, or every exploration is very important. Therefore, China uses a large number of "old people", and the new young people can only learn from it.
But we can't blame Huaxia's top management for being so cautious. Such a trip, because it has to take into account the other countries in the Pearl Star Region, will take about 35 years, which is 5 years longer than Huaxia's independent operation. Of course, time is only part of it; more importantly, everyone unites to prevent danger.
And another reason is that such a huge exploration and development team requires every country to devote at least half of its national power. If it fails or is annihilated by the enemy, even China will take decades. Recover! And what is restored is only the strength of the country; but a failed operation, which can easily cause tens of billions of casualties among explorers, will shake the confidence of society! This has brought unimaginable pressure on the country and government.
Social confidence is a very strange existence. It often has three states: positivity, positivity in despair, and general numbness. Being active in despair is of course not good, and numbness in general is not conducive to the development of society; therefore, the country must always stimulate people's confidence and keep social confidence in positivity and initiative!
Therefore, coupled with the fact that the life span of ordinary people has generally exceeded 150 years old, although it is not as good as the common limit of 200 years old in the Pearl Star Region, it also promotes China to start trying to "adapt to the aging" society. Not to mention, after practicing, the life span of many practitioners reaches 500 years or even older, so the selection criteria for China's elites are constantly changing.
Of course, everyone complained that China's arrival was a little late, but thinking that exploring the Orion Nebula and the galaxy group still required the help of China's power, everyone could only feel aggrieved. The target this time is the star field where civilization has been born, not the barren planet without intelligent life that everyone has explored before, which is dangerous.
1,400 light-years of exploration, if danger occurs, there is no rescue, we can only save ourselves.
After all, we all depend on each other. If we want to explore another civilized place, and maybe even carry out a brutal invasion, we have to unite. Use one star field to fight another star field!
Therefore, after a few adjustments, the team took off as planned...(To be continued...)
ps: A new volume has begun. Thank you all for your continued support, which has made Tianya reach this point. It will be more and more exciting in the future. Of course, Tianya’s new book is already in preparation.
