Along the way, everyone competed many times. Overall, the Ice Civilization gained a little advantage by virtue of its familiarity with the local area. But this advantage is not obvious! At this point, in the comprehensive competition in terms of space flight and spacecraft technology, everyone is temporarily tied.
However, science and technology are not just spaceship technology - spaceship technology can only be said to be the master of a certain aspect of technology! Of course, advanced spacecraft technology has a certain representativeness and cannot be ignored.
Gradually, the team left the nebula-dense area and began to thin out. Apparently, starting from China's station in the Orion Nebula, the fleet had traversed the 16-light-year-diameter nebula. Of course, in this area, this nebula can only be said to be one of them, and there are even larger nebulae next to it. I don’t know what it is that makes the nebula here gather together. However, there seem to be many such situations in the universe, and there are often similar clustering situations.
After leaving the nebula, the speed of the fleet did not slow down, and it actually flew towards another nebula in the distance. This nebula is very small, only about 3 light years by visual inspection. It looks like the remnants of an ordinary star explosion. But the temperature of this nebula is very low! Compared with other nebulae, the nebula here is more like a world that is about to cool down.
In comparison, the light here is dim, only a cold dark red! In the universe, the higher the temperature, the more blue and white the light becomes. We always think that blue represents coldness, such as ice; but in fact, in the universe, the temperature of blue stars is much higher than that of the sun!
At this moment, the current Nebula world. But even the most basic dark red color cannot be maintained! However, the distance is still very far at this moment, and only palm-sized nebulae can be seen.
Of course, the area of 3 light-years is not small. In the Pearl Star Territory back then, anyone who could rule 3 light-years was an empire. But thinking about it, this nebula will not be the entire ice civilization, but only a part.
Sure enough, Leng Feng. Han Bing. Saint opened his mouth to explain, "I'm sorry, friends. Because it's our first contact, we can only receive you here. But this is also one of the best territories created by our ice civilization. You can appreciate our The charm of civilization ”
"It doesn't matter. I'm very happy to receive the invitation!" Feng Qianjun didn't seem to care. In fact. When I heard that this was not their core territory. Of course I am a little disappointed! This makes people feel disrespected. It also makes it empty talk for China to directly explore everything about the ice civilization.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not bad! after all. After all, the two sides are not familiar with each other. Who knows what kind of methods you have in China! In this universe, it is difficult to meet a civilization that is willing to interact; but more importantly, ensure your own safety!
As they get closer, an alternative world finally appears in front of everyone. A continent!
Yes, a continent spread out in space!
"This is impossible!" Everyone was surprised, a continent of ice, it was a light-year wide. But this is not surprising. The most surprising thing is that this completely violates the known laws of the universe. The accumulation of so much matter will inevitably collapse automatically! Matter within a light-year range will inevitably collapse into an extremely powerful black hole!
But now, the frost here has condensed into a huge land! The overall shape is oval, with a thickness of about 100 million kilometers, but it has a diameter of one light-year (about 10 trillion kilometers)!
Although a nebula is huge, often several light-years in diameter, it is ultimately interstellar gas material. But now it is a continent!
Although this continent is mainly made of ice! Looking around, both the ground and the mountains are covered with ice!
It's like suddenly discovering a dark cloud covering the sky, but when you look closely, you suddenly find that it is not a dark cloud at all, but a piece of floating ice. This ice covers your entire field of vision! And it is an existence that completely goes against the known world knowledge!
Such a shock is the current situation. A continent one light year in diameter! The stars are huge, but on such a continent, they are only as small as candlelight! So-called planets and the like, facing a continent with a thickness of more than 100 million kilometers, appear as inconspicuous as pebbles by the river!
"This is impossible! This is impossible!..." One scientist after another was shocked. In fact, let alone one light-year in diameter, even a thickness of 100 million kilometers is enough to cause collapse!
Why do stars collapse later in their lives? That is, when the energy released by the internal nuclear reaction is not enough to withstand the gravity of the star, the star will begin to collapse under the influence of gravity; if during the collapse process, the energy impact of the nuclear reaction still cannot offset the gravity, it will continue to collapse. Eventually it will become a neutron star or a planet composed of smaller particles - such as a quark star - or directly become one of the intermediate objects in the universe - a black hole!
Leng Feng. Han Bing. Sheng watched the surprise in the eyes of all the Chinese people through the video, and a trace of pride flashed in the huge blue eyes in the center of his head! I haven't gotten rid of you all the way, and finally let you scumbags (bumpkin) see what greatness is!
"This...is this naturally formed?" Feng Qianjun was a little uneasy at this time.
"How is it possible! Such a celestial body cannot be formed in the universe!" Leng Feng, Han Bing, and Sheng Deyi looked more and more proud, "This is an application of space technology.
According to our scientific and technological understanding, we believe that since energy accumulation can cause changes in space; then conversely, if space can be frozen, it should be possible to build an infinite continent.
Therefore, we have spent thousands of years researching and successfully developing space freezing technology. Nowadays, we can freeze a space up to one light-year in size; and therefore, we can place such a continent in this frozen space as one of our living areas.
In this world, there are one tenth of our citizens, and it is considered our most important settlement besides our ancestral land. ”
"Hiss..." Everyone finally lost their color in surprise again. It turned out to be a kind of technology, a terrifying space technology! Freeze space? I can’t even think about it! At least China has not yet touched the threshold of this technology!
As the spacecraft advances, finally, a huge world is revealed in front of everyone!
Each star is about 1 billion to 1.5 billion kilometers away from the continent, "hanging" in space. At certain distances, there are stars of different sizes hanging in space, providing light and heat to this frost continent.
However, the average temperature in this world is around minus 153 degrees Celsius. Temperature fluctuations range from up to one degree!
This temperature has been discussed before, that is, below zero, water does not freeze forever; in a certain range around minus 153 degrees, under a certain pressure, water will exhibit another "liquid crystal" state ! In theory, such "liquid water", no, it should be "liquid crystal water", can also meet the conditions for the birth of life!
But this conclusion has never been proven! As a result, it has just been proven today, and it has given mankind such a big "surprise"!
"I wonder if it's convenient to ask, how many people are here?" Feng Qianjun was an excellent diplomat after all, so he calmed down.
"It's nothing," Leng Feng. Han Bing. Sheng didn't care. "Currently we have a total population of 98.6 million in Beijing!" (According to orthodox counting, 1 billion is a trillion, and 10 trillion is a capital.)
"Hiss..." Everyone bared their teeth again. At this point, all the intelligent life forms in the Pearl Star Territory are not even a fraction of this!
But yes, although the Pearl Star Field has a core area of 40 light years, the total surface area of life planets in it is not much. It is a bit mysterious that an attack can cover the area within the Earth's orbit circle in the solar system!
However, people have directly built a huge continent, one light-year in diameter. Ha, there is finally enough land to support a sufficient population!
"This kind of space freezing technology must be obtained!" Feng Qianjun immediately standardized this technology! Today, one of the most important reasons hindering China and even the Pearl Star Region is land! Nowadays, the Pearl Star Territory is frantically building new life planets. What is it for? Isn't it just to have enough land to support more people?
And if we had such technology, building a continent not just one light-year in diameter, but 100 million kilometers in diameter would be enough to allow the population to explode for thousands of years! And with enough population, in the era of technology, you can easily enjoy the demographic dividend! A large number of talents will be born, which will in turn promote the development of scientific and technological civilization!
This is the scary thing about technological civilization, because it is universal and will promote the explosive development of civilization when conditions are met! This is something that the so-called superpower civilization will never be able to achieve!
"Space freezing technology!" Silently, Feng Qianjun wrote down these words in his notebook! This technology alone is enough to make China explode again! According to Feng Qianjun's understanding, if space is like the ocean, then the so-called space freezing technology is to freeze the entire ocean. Then not only can ships be operated on the ocean, but railways can also be built!
Boom...the spaceship roared and finally flew into this huge continent. The spaceship is as inconspicuous as floating in the air!
Stars, like ordinary chandeliers, provide light and heat to this frozen continent in the frozen space. Although the average temperature of this world is only minus 153 degrees Celsius, it is still full of vitality! The cold wind is raging and ice and snow flakes are flying. This is the law of this world. There is also a large amount of life composed of liquid crystal water moving around. The universe is so big and full of strange things! Once again aroused human curiosity!
In addition, it can also be found at a close distance that there is a small amount of frost surrounding the star, and the construction on it is very luxurious! (To be continued...)
