Year after year passed, and the year 3300 of the Imperial Calendar also came in tension. The center of the Milky Way is still brilliant. At least from China's current territory, what we see is still the brilliant center of the Milky Way! If we only looked at it from the outside, who would know that the center of the Milky Way has already become a mess.
Humanity has gone crazy and turned the prosperous Pearl Star Territory into a desert! At the beginning, in this bustling star field that was 40 light-years away in the core and covered an area of 80 light-years, only a few stars were still shining at this moment; the rest of the star groups have been imprisoned, and they are waiting for the migration of China. , providing countless amounts of energy. Countless celestial bodies, whether they are icy planets, rocky planets, gaseous planets, etc., as long as they can be used, have been dismantled. Some of them have been transformed into nuclear energy reserves, some have been transformed into various materials or directly spaceships, etc., and some have been transformed into various daily necessities and so on. With small space technology, even a frozen planet of carbon dioxide will be fully utilized - it is still needed to extinguish fires, and it is also a very important chemical raw material.
And the once-prosperous ancient continent, which was like the legendary fairyland, has also disappeared! The ancient continent built by 50 million planets has once again been transformed into various materials!
Today, only the undeveloped star systems around the solar system still have a large number of living planets. In the rest of the places, only a few living planets exist and are used to rest. Most of them have been dismantled, and countless stars have been collared; countless star systems, There is even only one star left! It is estimated that if human beings' current technology is not able to directly use stars, maybe the stars will be demolished.
The result of the superposition of crazy humans and crazy technology is that the universe around the solar system is already unstable! The loss of a large number of planets has caused a gravitational imbalance! Even if humans don’t leave now, it will be tens of thousands of years later at most. There will be total chaos here too.
Nowadays, a large number of citizens of China have migrated to the Large Magellanic Cloud. Even the Milky Way galaxy ring and the places China passes by are like fields visited by locusts.
Madness and struggle. Grief and hope are intertwined. People have already accepted the reality and left the galaxy!
Just a few years ago, the pioneers of space exploration, represented by Zhang Guan, finally lost contact completely; the empire lost another number of very outstanding and brave scientists. However, Zhang Guan and other scientific elites have not completely given up hope of survival; being willing to dedicate themselves to the nation does not mean they are willing to commit suicide! They are all excellent scientists, the elite of the elite, and they still have the last chance to survive...
According to the final communication, they will choose to permanently freeze themselves, preserve their brains and other important locations; and control the spacecraft to fly to the Andromeda Galaxy. during this flight. They will make full use of the interstellar gravity, as well as the initial speed and inertia of the spacecraft. According to calculations, they will move towards Andromeda at 0.9 times the speed of light, and are expected to arrive at the Andromeda Galaxy in 2 million years. At the last moment, Zhang Guan also joked that they would complete a time travel and visit the Chinese civilization two million years later.
The efforts of Zhang Guan and others have also paid off handsomely for the empire, which has completely crossed the technological threshold. It has been possible to produce large-scale spaceships for interstellar migration, and even discovered routes. And at the same time. The exploration of the undercurrent of time and space has also made brilliant achievements.
There are two paths before Chinese civilization: one is to launch the Great Interstellar Migration through the universe, spanning 2.2 million light-years, with an estimated flight time of more than 5,000 years, or even more than 8,000 years - because space has changed and time and space are distorted. different. It will also lead to differences in time.
But I have to say that although the migration takes a long time, this is a relatively safe route.
There are not all galaxies in space, there are also some scattered star systems, and even small star clusters - the kind that only consist of three or five star systems. These components are relatively small. It is also difficult to have conditions suitable for the development of life, especially intelligent life. Of course, there are no absolutes. There is no shortage of miracles in the universe, and no one can guarantee that there really is nothing. But overall, this road is long but relatively safe, as long as the technology is up to standard!
The second way for the migration of Chinese civilization is the undercurrent of time and space. After exploration, the time in the undercurrent of space and time is relatively chaotic. Maybe one year outside can pass hundreds of years inside; but there is an advantage, at least in the normal time calculation of the universe, according to the existing theory, : It only takes 1,000 years (normal cosmic time) to reach the Andromeda Galaxy through the undercurrent of space and time! As for the real time in the undercurrent of time and space, it is unknown. Maybe it is hundreds of years inside, maybe it is thousands of years - anyway, the normal time outside in normal time and space can be roughly determined to be 1,000 years, and the time fluctuates within 100 years.
1,000 years spans 2.2 million light-years and goes directly into the interior of another galaxy without the need for external exploration. This is exciting data! Of course, we must admit that there are also many dangers involved; in the undercurrent of time and space, time is relatively chaotic, and of course space is also distorted! And in this undercurrent of time and space, there really is an alternative world, but the time is relatively short, and everyone has not explored it comprehensively. They vaguely know that there will be some dangers in it, but they should be within the range of dealing with it.
The Supreme Meeting is unfolding. In the virtual world, including Zhang Jingyuan, some of the strongest pillars of the empire, and some citizen representatives, a total of 100,000 people are holding an unprecedented meeting; especially in the past three hundred years, the Feixiang Group has shown The powerful force has allowed many citizen representatives to step into the direct speaking seat of the Supreme Council.
Zhang Mingyuan was the first to speak, "Let's not talk nonsense. First of all, it is a pity that we are still wandering outside the threshold of the sixth-level civilization, but there are some things that we have reached some basic standards of the sixth-level civilization. For example, average life span, For example, the ability after cultivation. In some respects, we are already a pseudo-sixth level civilization.
What we are discussing today is the upcoming migration issue! Our initial predictions and worries were correct. The rate of collapse of the center of the Milky Way is indeed accelerating. As it swallows more and more stars around it, instead of forming a new balance at the center of the Milky Way, the black hole is accelerating in expansion and the scope of destruction is also accelerating. The 500-year countdown predicted back then was really just right.
From now on, we only have a hundred years to prepare. And we don’t have time to continue to attack the real sixth-level civilization. But what is gratifying is that through the concerted efforts of the Chinese civilization, although it is still a little hasty, we are also ready.
According to the empire's plan, the migration team will be divided into two parts:
One part is dominated by the military, and the rest is auxiliary. Following the undercurrent of time and space, we strive to reach the Andromeda Galaxy in advance and complete the early tasks of base development and other tasks. Because although the space-time undercurrent is fast, it is dangerous on the one hand, and its circulation is limited on the other. It can only pass about 100,000 large spacecraft at a time, which is about 100 kilometers. For greater safety, the largest spacecraft that travels through the undercurrent of time and space is only 300 kilometers away.
This part is mainly the military. There will be about 5 billion soldiers and related personnel. All migratory populations are basically dominated by adults, especially those in the Nascent Soul stage and above.
We can call this part the assault fleet, or the advance fleet, or the vanguard fleet.
The other part travels through interstellar space, flying directly from the Large Magellanic Cloud to the Andromeda Galaxy. This will be the main body of our migration. China’s population of nearly one quadrillion all starts from here. Currently, it has been estimated that nearly 90 billion spaceships of all sizes have departed from here, and all people have left the galaxy.
This fleet is the main migration fleet. The fleet will fly directly over 2.2 million light-years, with an estimated flight time of 5,000 to 8,000 years.
But the fleet has a small mission. It is the outer space exploration and scientific expedition team before the Search Empire, the fleet led by Zhang Guan, hoping to rescue our heroes. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up on our heroes or every citizen!
Below, don’t hesitate to say anything! ”
Representatives of the Adventure Association stood up, although Zhang Jingyuan had already retreated behind the scenes. But the adventurous spirit has been passed down: "Your Majesty, the Adventure Association is preparing to form an elite of 100,000 people to follow the assault fleet through the undercurrent of time and space and contribute to the development of the empire and China. We have completed the recruitment of volunteers Screening work to ensure that each one is a real choice. One of the elites; one of the elites selected from a thousand on the basis of the Adventure Association. Each one is an expert in many aspects, from scientific theory to spacecraft equipment maintenance to space exploration, etc., they are very familiar with it, and they have even initially accepted it! Training in the space-time undercurrent environment”
As the saying goes, a new generation replaces the old. Now many important departments in the empire have been replaced by new people. The new era requires new blood. The older generation has begun to retreat behind the scenes and prepare to serve as a reserve force - which can be regarded as increasing the Chinese civilization. its heritage and potential power.
"Yes. But after the meeting, you need to be verified by the military. At that time, you can contact the military. General Mu Dekun will be responsible for contacting you."
"Okay." The representative of the Adventure Association sat down. Immediately afterwards, he got in touch with Mu Dekun in the virtual world, and the two parties agreed on a time and place to meet.
Representatives of the newly established Feixiang Group also stood up: "Your Majesty, there are also people in the group who have applied to follow the assault fleet. We have gathered all the latest technologies of the group to form an elite team of the same 100,000 people. We use the advantages of the group , this team is equipped with a lot of weird technology.
Many of these technologies are classified as banned technologies, evil technologies, or technologies that require extremely high investment and cannot be mass-produced. But there is an advantage to these technologies. They are completely different from mainstream technologies. They can even be said to be evil. However, it has to be said that when faced with unfamiliar environments, these technologies often have unexpected effects.
These 100,000 volunteers are the best elites we have selected from the 120 billion registered volunteers over ten years. They are willing to fully accept the military's command and orders without any hesitation! ”
"Okay! You will also contact General Mu Dekun later. General Mu Dekun will be in charge of the specific volunteer corps."
"Yes!"
Social groups are participating one after another, and some families, groups, etc. will also send their elites to participate in the assault fleet operations. Don't underestimate these elites. Their collective action capabilities may not be as good as those of the military, but in some special environments and places that require the cooperation of a small number of people, they are often better than the military.
This is not just a simple supreme meeting. On the one hand, it is announcing that China's Great Migration is about to begin and serves as a simple mobilization meeting. On the other hand, it is also gathering domestic elites to unify their thoughts and firm goals. Most importantly, it is also a declaration: a new era has arrived, fly!
After the social organization is over, it is really the turn of the military, state, etc. to report.
The Ministry of Agriculture reports: It has prepared up to 150,000 Earth-volume foods, mainly dry and cold vegetables, frozen meats, canned food, etc.; in the cold space, these foods do not have to worry about deterioration. Although energy can be used to simulate lighting and produce food in space, every penny saved is worth a penny, and if there is an emergency, these foods will be life-saving treasures.
The Department of Energy reports: All energy is already enough to account for 120% of energy consumption, thanks to the crazy expansion of nuclear energy over the years.
Military sector...
Industrial sector…
The Resources Department...the results reported one by one are all so gratifying! There is no need to doubt the accuracy of these data, but people must also remember: space is always full of accidents, and miracles can only be said to be the better of accidents! (To be continued...)
