Chapter 45 Deep Space Exploration and Early Warning Plan
After the first phase of the underground city was completed, the second facility to be completed first was the military facility.
This is a construction plan that Zhou Heng personally supervised and was the only one to supervise.
New Galaxy Sphere Defense Plan.
The plan is to use the other eleven stars in the new galaxy as the basis to deploy multiple protection networks such as a large number of gamma ray lasers, interstellar torpedoes, and small deep space exploration drones.
In this way, we can achieve the purpose of protecting the architectural complex of human civilization.
Zhou Heng has had enough of the days without deterrent strikes, whether it is the Thrall civilization invading Blue Star, or the Doman Empire United Chamber of Commerce that they met on the fast track.
It was all because he did not have the strength to protect himself and lacked effective means of deterrence, so Zhou Heng had to choose to leave his hometown and wander around the universe.
When we were on Blue Star, if the Thrall civilization had reached that level of civilization, even if Zhou Heng was given another five years...
Therefore, after learning from the painful experience, he couldn't wait to supervise the construction of the defense plan after the first phase of the underground city was completed.
In addition to the above methods, Zhou Heng also planned to lay a layer of deep space mines around the entire new galaxy to protect the new galaxy.
In this way, no matter which direction alien civilization invades, it can be blocked by deep space mines, buying time for human civilization to counterattack or escape.
But later Zhou Heng gave up this plan.
Because this plan will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, calculations show that if such a layer of deep space mines is really to be laid, the resources consumed will be nearly three times more than those in the First Five-Year Plan.
In addition to the wars of interstellar civilizations, there are not many that can fight at close range like the Thrall civilization, and most of them are beyond visual range strikes.
So in the end this plan was abandoned.
However, Zhou Heng did not completely give up on this plan. After a slight change, another plan came into being.
Deep space exploration early warning plan.
Zhou Heng plans to launch a large number of detection satellites into deep space.
Using these detectors as the backbone, a surveillance network covering ten light-years will be constructed.
These ten light years are the buffer space left by Zhou Heng for human civilization. If there is an invasion of alien civilization, the distance of ten light years is enough for human civilization to prepare.
Whether fighting or running, there is room for buffering.
As for the attack ten light years away.
If there really is a civilization that attacks human civilization ten light years away, it can only be said that mankind is unlucky and deserves to be destroyed.
The most important point of the detector is real-time performance.
If a detector ten light-years away emits a signal and it takes them ten years to receive it, then the detector will completely lose its early warning effect.
Therefore, communication equipment for real-time transmission has become the top priority of the detector.
Underground city, quantum laboratory.
After receiving the notice from team leader Li Bing, Zhou Heng rushed to the laboratory as soon as possible.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Heng couldn't wait to ask: "Team Leader Li, was the communication equipment experiment successful?"
"It's successful, Captain Zhou." Li Bing's tone was also quite excited. After seeing Zhou Heng, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Heng inside.
"Captain Zhou, this is the quantum communication system we made for the detector."
In the laboratory, Li Bing pointed to two pieces of communication equipment on the experimental table and excitedly introduced them to Zhou Heng.
"We use the quantum entanglement effect to entangle the quanta in two communication devices and implement interconnection."
"The resulting communication, no matter how far away, the link between them is real-time."
"In this way, we can control the detector through this communication equipment, and the images detected by the detector will also be transmitted back to us in real time."
"Very good."
Zhou Heng patted Li Bing on the shoulder with equal excitement.
"Is this the thing?" Zhou Heng stepped forward and observed it closely.
These are two palm-sized, rectangular metal bars.
"Captain Zhou, we launched an experimental communication satellite a month ago. The propulsion engine carried by the satellite is a large propulsion engine, and its speed can reach ten percent of the speed of light."
"In a month's time, the detection and scanning satellite has been heading towards the edge of the new galaxy."
As he spoke, Li Bing handed Zhou Heng a tablet.
"This is the real-time picture from the satellite."
"The detection system carried by the satellite is the latest deep space scanning device. It can deeply scan all materials within a hundred astronomical units."
"Cooperating with deep space exploration satellites, the two satellites can monitor everything within ten light years without blind spots."
"In another month, the final version of the satellite will be designed."
Looking at the real-time picture uploaded on the screen, Zhou Heng immediately gave instructions: "Speed up the design, increase production intensity, and deploy as soon as possible. Team Leader Li, the safety of our new human civilization depends on you."
Li Bing immediately expressed his position: "Captain Zhou, please rest assured that I will definitely complete the design and planning as soon as possible and deploy it as soon as possible."
"Please." After patting Li Bing on the shoulder, Zhou Heng left the quantum laboratory.
With this kind of early warning system, Zhou Heng no longer has to worry about being like in Blue Star, where he could only flee in panic after encountering the Thrall civilization.
With this ten-light-year buffer zone, they can analyze the technological level of the invading alien civilization and use it to judge the next countermeasures.
After leaving the quantum laboratory, Zhou Heng went straight to the artificial womb and comprehensive parenting center without rest.
Today is the day the first artificial womb baby was born.
"Dean Cheng Kexin, how is the newborn's condition?"
Zhou Heng arrived at the child care center a step too late, as the newborn had already been born.
"Captain Zhou, please rest assured that everything is normal with the newborn."
Taking Zhou Heng to the outside of the nursery, Zhou Heng looked at the crying baby in the room under the care of the nurse through the glass, showing a look of relief.
"We must ensure the healthy growth of newborns, and regular testing must be done. They are the future of our civilization, and they are the new human civilization."
"Don't worry, Captain Zhou, I will take care of him personally." Dean Cheng Kexin promised.
Looking at the baby, Zhou Heng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked casually: "I heard that you rejected the housekeeping robot provided by the housekeeping robot factory?"
"Yes, Captain Zhou."
"This is the first artificially cultivated baby. Although the technology can guarantee it, this is the first case after all, and the domestic robot is a robot after all, so any accidents may occur."
"So I want to wait, at least until it is confirmed that there are no problems with this batch of babies, and then the second batch of babies will be taken care of by domestic robots."
Zhou Heng was not angry, but calmly discussed with Dean Cheng Kexin.
"But our civilization cannot wait too long."
"I only need one year of observation, give me one year of observation."
"Not half a year, just give me half a year!!"
Zhou Heng shook his head: "Dean Cheng, not half a year, not even a month. The development of our new civilization is measured in days."
"Half a year is too long."
"And you have to believe in the technical capabilities of our comrades. Housekeeping robots are very complete technology."
"But Captain Zhou!!"
"We need development, we need population, a massive population, everyone is working hard, but the population is too small, Director Cheng."
"So artificial incubation and simultaneous experiments with domestic robots can uncover all the problems. As long as supervision is strengthened, there will be no problems."
"..."
After a long silence, Cheng Kexin had no choice but to compromise.
She also knew how urgent this matter was.
"I request personal supervision. If there is any problem, I will immediately terminate this experiment."
"That would be great. I'll leave everything to you, Dean Cheng."
Zhou Heng wished that Cheng Kexin would personally supervise him. With her here, Zhou Heng could feel completely at ease.
After dealing with the problem of the childcare center, Zhou Heng did not stop for a moment and went straight to the ecosystem construction team.
There are still a lot of problems waiting for Zhou Heng to deal with.
On the way, Zhou Heng touched the top of his head and sighed. If he continued like this, he didn't know if he could keep the hair on his head.
Chapter completed!
