Chapter 181 The Eye of the Earth

A year later. The core area launch platform of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance Pacific Base.

A laser sail-driven miniature space telescope full of crystallization of human intelligence and super alien technology components is about to be launched into the outer space of the earth.

"Ten minutes to prepare."

"Five minutes to prepare."

"One minute to prepare."

"emission!!"

In the deep blue sky, the tail of the powerful launch vehicle was continuously spraying dazzling flames, which were penetrated through the clouds and fog and climbing to the sky.

"After the Voyager series detectors, a new Earth civilization detector is finally about to fly out of the solar system."

Yuan Shichen was standing on the observation stand of the base command center, holding his head up and looking at the sky, his face full of confidence, and he was already filled with emotion.

"And this time, we are going to fly to another star system outside the solar system at the speed of light."

Unlike the joy and joy of others, Yuan Hashichen was always silent at this time, with a serious expression, full concentration, and breath holding his breath.

Finally, the rocket gradually turned into a small spot of light in the sky, penetrated through the atmosphere, and disappeared from Yuan Shichen's vision.

The powerful laser emitter in the early black hole power system was launched into space one month ago and installed on the space station of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance.

It won't take long before the laser sail drives the miniature space telescope to enter the predetermined launch orbit.

It is expected that after hours of testing and debugging, it will set sail with the dream of mankind to explore other cosmic civilizations!!

If this action can be successful.

Then, within ten years, laser sail-driven miniature space telescopes can send back observation videos and photos from the Alpha Centaurus galaxy.

Scientists on Earth will be able to see the real scenes in the Alpha Centaurus, a creation that is absolutely unprecedented!

As usual, because Harashi Chen is the leader of this project, this laser sail-driven miniature space telescope will be named by Harashi Chen.

This time, Yuan Shichen did not name it after his own name, but gave it a very simple name - the Eyes of the Earth.

Unlike the nanodetectors launched by Mr. Hawking's "Breakthrough Stars" program, the laser sail-driven miniature space telescopes launched by the extraterrestrial civilization project team are different in terms of technological content and appearance.

The earth's pupil is much larger, about the size of a football, because most of the main structures are built directly using alien technological materials in the dome space of the [Source of Creation], so its strength is very high, but its quality is not high.

The Earth's Pupil integrates the world's top miniature high-definition cameras, photon thrusters, navigation and transmission components, and is actually a top miniature aircraft with complete space exploration functions.

The communication system of the Earth's Pupil borrows the communication technology of [The Source of Creation]. The Creator's information transmission principle is no essential difference from that of the Earth, but his related technical level is far ahead of the Earth's civilization.

To make an analogy, the Creator has long been playing with a quantum computer in his hand, but we are still using computers that are so large that they cover the entire basketball court to do the most basic operations.

In order to finally and safely reach the destination, the entire interstellar exploration alliance's scientific team also spent a lot of effort on this when designing the Earth's Eyes.

Because, while flying at a high speed in the universe at close to the speed of light, although the Earth's Eye will not encounter small monsters in the universe, it is very likely to encounter other dangers, causing the small boat to overturn if it is said to be overturned.

First of all, cosmic dust is the most important threat to interstellar quasi-speed flight. When flying near the speed of light, spacecraft may be damaged even if the same single atom collides. If the same particle of dust or stone collides, it will be completely destroyed.

You should know that the universe around the solar system is not a vacuum.

Billions of years ago, the supernova that created the solar system exploded, dispersing a massive amount of dust around the solar system. In addition, there are other cosmic physical processes that disperse single atoms in interstellar space.

Through calculation and deduction, the Extraterrestrial Civilization Project team found that although hydrogen and helium atoms are the most common interstellar atoms, heavier oxygen, magnesium and iron single atoms are the main sources of destruction.

The threat from interstellar dust is different. Small interstellar dust is similar to a batch of single atoms hitting a spacecraft at the same time. The destruction mainly comes from heating, but large enough interstellar dust can directly destroy the spacecraft in a collision.

Fortunately, in the universe, there is very little dust "large enough" in the dust, so the probability of their encounter with the spacecraft is estimated to be only one in 10,000,000 (there are 50 zeros in total).

Yes, the safest means of transportation on earth are far from reaching this probability.

In addition, the Earth's Pupil has powerful observation ability and can detect these large particles of interstellar dust or debris at a long distance, so the possibility of it being destroyed in the universe is very low.

However, considering comprehensively, if the Earth's Eye does not want to remain in the process of this trip, appropriate protective measures must be considered.

If you follow the earth's aerospace material technology, you must install thick protective armor on the earth's pupil, but the result of this will lead to a significant improvement in its mass and ultimately it cannot be accelerated with the laser sail.

Secondly, we must also consider the high temperature problems that may be caused by continuous high-speed flight. A high enough temperature will cause the spacecraft materials to evaporate.

On the other hand, even if the evaporation temperature is not reached, the characteristics of the material will be changed by the high temperature, which will affect its structural characteristics.

Similarly, the aerospace materials technology on the earth cannot come up with a complete solution.

Fortunately, the earth's civilization has obtained the [Source of Creation]!

Without any other better choices, the scientific team of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance had to curse and use alien technology materials with shame, which solved the above problems.

I don’t know how long it took, a familiar voice came, interrupting Yuan Shichen’s meditation.

"Qichen, the Earth's Eyes have entered the predetermined orbit." Durunik walked towards Yuan Shichen.

"good!"

Yuan Shichen came to his senses and answered simply and forcefully.

"The project team is already conducting the coordinated detection and debugging of the Earth's Pupil and the laser emitter." Durunik continued.

"Let's go and take a look."

Yuan Shichen walked towards the control center with agile steps with Durunik.
