Darkness is Coming: Chapter 592 The future 1,400 light-years away Part 2

Hearing Liu Yuanzhou speak in a bland tone—perhaps the two verbs narrate and state are more appropriate—an epic that will resonate the hearts of later generations, Yang Xiaoqian felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, only to feel his whole body go up and down. Every pore trembled.

   The insurmountable difference between the realms was finally fully revealed. While everyone is confused about how to welcome tomorrow, Liu Yuanzhou has set his sights on 1,400 light-years away, writing the future.

"So, technology will usher in all-round development with the birth of Zero One. When the available spaceships are built, the mutants will be banished forever, allowing them to fend for themselves in the long universe, and possibly find a habitable planet. If you develop your own civilization, you may also be destroyed by cosmic dust, asteroids or black holes that suddenly appear out of nowhere. Well, I'm blind and don't know much about it, but it is safer to reach this 'holy star' than a spacecraft. , seems to be more likely to crash in the middle?"

   "Yes." Liu Yuanzhou didn't explain much.

"This is what you call a future full of possibilities? Okay." Yang Xiaoqian smiled sarcastically, "What about food? Mutants always eat people, right? On Earth, they can make corpses from voluntary donations. Commodity human flesh, as long as the propaganda method is appropriate, most people can accept this. Then, after leaving the earth, where did the human flesh come from for them to eat? Is it possible to send a group of people to the spacecraft to make mutant breeding pigs? , the saints cannot reproduce on their own, and must rely on human transformation. How do they expand their ethnic groups? After they have spent enough time to expand their ethnic groups, the food cannot keep up with the supply, how can you be sure that they will not return to invade the earth? "

   Yang Xiaoqian was stern when he asked this, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart. Liu Yuanzhou could deliberately let go of the mutants in order to set up this game. It is entirely possible to buy one get one free with a batch of humans as food for farming.

When discussing the matter with Yu Qian at Banshan Manor before, Yang Xiaoqian raised a possibility: after the mutants have gained enough support, they are likely to produce test-tube babies and clones in batches by raising livestock and growing rice, allowing them to grow in petri dishes and Growing up in the breeding room makes them from birth to growth and then to be eaten into the belly of mutants, never wake up, never generate self-consciousness and spirit, and turn them from human beings into living commodity human flesh.

   From the perspective of profit and loss, this is a rational choice, but Yang Xiaoqian's long-held moral concept makes him unacceptable. Moreover, even if the mutants are driven into the vast and boundless space, Yang Xiaoqian cannot rest assured. No matter where the mutants come from and who created them, this is a race that is naturally opposed to humans, and can even be said to be the natural enemies of humans. Their only way to survive is to seek their own death.

"Theoretically, a batch of incurable human beings can be sent to the Holy Clan for processing, but in fact, this is not enough to supply the Holy Clan's demand for food, so their main food source is composed of cancer cells. An infinitely proliferating tumor. As for whether they may return to invade the earth, don’t worry about this, the sailing spacecraft will be equipped with a self-destruction device, and the aviation module will be self-destructed when it reaches the destination, and the holy race will be wasted during the long journey. Too much precious time, our technology is several levels ahead of them when they arrive at their destination, and they return to invade the earth just to kill themselves. Of course, as long as our technology system is based on zero-one and upwards, then zero-to-one The military power of the earth has enough control, and its core algorithm will not allow human beings to rush to the holy star to cut the weeds after the technology is advanced."

   "Well..." Yang Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, pointed to the holy star on the light screen and asked, "Why did you choose this planet? The distance of 1,400 light-years cannot be crossed with current technology."

   At the same time as the questioning, Yang Xiaoqian also realized that his inner compromiseism has prevailed. If he can really solve the mutant crisis without a single soldier, perhaps there is no need to bleed in vain. Now Yang Xiaoqian only hopes that the day when the mutant rolls out of the earth will come sooner. To build a spaceship that can travel 1,400 light-years, this goal is still a long way from the current level of technology. Yang Xiaoqian hopes that at least In his lifetime, he can witness with his own eyes that all the mutants are driven out by humans.

"Because it is similar enough to the earth, you just mentioned a key point. The saints cannot reproduce on their own and need to be transformed by humans. Therefore, the saints will leave with a group of human beings with healthy reproductive functions. Bai has already said his Thought, these people taken by the saints can only be believers who voluntarily become saints. The saints will not harm these humans, but will protect their safety. When they mate with each other and produce a certain number of offspring, they can accept The transformation ceremony becomes the holy race. In other words, these people are likely to need to live on the holy star, so the spacecraft will not only bring the holy race and humans, but also various animals and plants. These humans, animals and plants from the earth, adaptability And the survivability is not as strong as the Saints, so they need to find a habitable planet similar to the earth. There is another main reason: this planet is far enough." Liu Yuanzhou pressed the wheelchair armrest again, and the picture on the light screen Quietly changed, this time into a space probe and a strange-looking spacecraft.

"Take the Pluto probe launched by NASA in 2006 as an example. Its speed is about 75,000 kilometers per hour. Assuming this speed is maintained, it will take more than 20 million years to travel from the earth to the holy star. "

Yang Xiaoqian was taken aback by this number. One light-year is about 9,460.8 billion kilometers. It would take 14,400 years to travel at a speed of 75,000 kilometers per hour. The result is 20.16 million years.

  Twenty million years, how many civilizations will go from birth to extinction during this period of time. The **** feud of the year is worthless on the scale of the universe and the Milky Way.

   Of course, it is definitely impossible for the mutants to set sail in a spacecraft burning chemical fuel, otherwise they will never reach the holy star, and they will not have to wait for time to erase all traces of their existence, because they can't even get out of the solar system. Yang Xiaoqian patiently listened to Liu Yuanzhou continue to speak.

"At present, there are two technologies that may be successfully developed in the short term. First, using the analysis hypothesis of Robert Fward in 1984, a high-power laser is launched to a large thin sail. When the laser sail adopts an integral disc When deployed and loaded with a load of less than one ton, it can reach one-tenth of the speed of light within a century, so the time required to reach the holy star is about 15,000 years."

"However, this method has insufficient carrying capacity, so another technology must be considered, to develop a non-working-substance nuclear fusion spacecraft equipped with an inertial confinement fusion engine, so as to carry a qualified ecological circulation system. It is conservatively estimated that the sailing time is about one year. Ten thousand years. Such a long distance is enough to give the saints an undisturbed world, and it is also enough for humans to get rid of the saints with peace of mind."

   "On the other hand, the spaceship will continuously bring feedback to Zero One. This voyage will not only be an adventure for the Holy Family, but also the first step for mankind to truly enter the galaxy."
