Before coming into contact with the Prometheus database, Leo was full of expectations for the content in the database. He hoped to find out the positional relationship between this world and the Earth Federation universe from the navigation data in the database, but now he
After a cursory glance at the information in the database, he was very disappointed with the content because a large amount of the information had been deleted.
Judging from the composition of the data types in the database, when the Earth Federation people who transformed the Prometheus transferred the data of the Prometheus to the current intelligent core, the people who carried out the work were very proactive in transferring the data from the Prometheus to the current intelligent core.
All voyage data were deleted, including the spacecraft voyage records of the Earth Federation people and the voyage records of the Prometheus.
Although Leo didn't know what happened at that time to let the supervisor here make such a decision, judging from the sequence of data files in the database, the technical staff at that time did not have a detailed deletion list, but only searched through analogies.
The semi-intelligent method is used to find all the information related to navigation and delete it indiscriminately, so there is a lot of accidentally deleted content in this information.
For example, there is a raw navigation data in this data. This raw navigation data is the raw data that will be loaded on every navigator. In addition to testing the operation of the spacecraft navigator, this data also has
Some original control codes for key functions such as spacecraft engine operation, flight shields, space jumps, etc. This part of the data can be said to be the most important data in spacecraft navigation.
However, such a vital original data was deleted to pieces. Eventually, subsequent technicians had to rewrite a set of defective underlying codes to barely maintain the main control computer for some important functions of the spacecraft.
Control of equipment.
However, it is obvious that the technician who wrote this code also knew how bad his code was, so he did not let this intelligent core control too many things, only a few key devices, such as the spacecraft above the entrance to the abyss.
engine.
This can be regarded as a hit-and-run, saving Leo the time of writing additional control codes. After leaving here, he can directly teach the Lanxi City managers the part of the code that activates the spacecraft engine.
Although the technical staff at that time had tried their best to delete those voyage records, it was obvious that the technical staff responsible for this matter had insufficient experience and relied too much on the intelligent search function instead of conducting search and analysis according to their own abilities, which resulted in the loss of some and
Information related to navigation but not navigation data has been preserved, and one of the most useful information is the partial voyage diary left by a navigator named Henry.
Because it is a diary, this information is classified into daily documents, and the search analysis level is the lowest. Although some data in the diary has been searched and deleted because it involves navigation, there is still a large part of it and
The content related to the voyage has been preserved, and the biggest reason why these diaries can be preserved is that the navigator who wrote the diary was a poor poet, and always liked to use some poems to describe what he saw and heard on the voyage.
Although those poems are worthless in terms of literature and art, the advantage is that these poems are straightforward enough that readers can easily know where the content of the description is. Through these descriptions, compare the time of each diary entry, and add
The speed of the spacecraft itself was enough for Leo to analyze the route of the spacecraft.
Judging from the route, this Earth Federation-era spaceship is a caravan spacecraft. The starting point of the spacecraft's route is Chang'an, the largest colonial planet of the early Earth Federation. The most famous scenery on this planet is the Twelve Hanging Moon, because
This planet has twelve satellites of different sizes. One day every ten years or so, twelve satellites will appear in the night sky at the same time. This scene was also described in the navigator's diary.
Chang'an is not the earliest colonial planet developed by the Earth Federation, but Chang'an is the best developed among all the colonial planets developed. The overall scale there has exceeded the Earth's parent planet.
In the early expansion plans of the Earth Federation, Chang'an was also the core of these plans. Almost all activities related to colonies, including commerce, military, exploration, etc., all used Chang'an as the starting star. At the end of the early development activities of the Earth Federation,
The ruling center of the Earth Federation even moved to Chang'an, making Chang'an the capital planet of the Earth Federation.
This situation lasted until the Earth Federation developed faster spaceships, contacted more advanced alien civilizations, learned about the wider universe, and expanded the scope of colonized planets to farther galaxies. The location of Chang'an also changed.
From the front to the rear, its importance also rapidly decreased, and eventually it returned to an ordinary hinterland colonial star.
It is not difficult to see from the words in the diary that when the spacecraft set sail, Chang'an was still the core of the Earth Federation's colonial star. It was also mentioned in the diary that the Earth Federation's parliament had begun to propose moving the ruling center to Chang'an for convenience.
The management of colonial planets shows that the time at that time has entered the end of the early colonial development period.
After that, the spacecraft began to travel between various colonial planets along a golden route that was very famous in the early commercial history of the Earth Federation, conducting various commercial activities.
This route could be regarded as the lifeblood of the Earth Federation at that time. Almost more than 70% of the Earth Federation's commercial tax revenue came from this route. Almost all inter-galactic commercial activities were related to this route.
, people at that time also called this route the Caribbean route.
Because this route is similar to the colonial route during a certain ocean development period in the old earth era, both have massive commercial activities, and along with the commercial activities there are also a large number of pirates.
This is also the reason why this golden route was still so famous during the Earth Federation period where Leo was, because at that time there were countless battles and legendary battles between interstellar pirates, caravans and the Earth Federation fleet.
Stories continued to happen on that route, until later these legendary stories turned into legends and continued to be circulated in various art forms in the star field under the jurisdiction of the Earth Federation, lasting forever.
Although the people of the Earth Federation in later generations have great yearning for the era when those legendary stories took place and regretted not being born in that magnificent era, for the people at that time, sailing on this route was definitely not a joyful thing and was scary.
, fearing that a pirate fleet will suddenly appear from somewhere has become a daily routine, and many people even have to rely on drugs to relax themselves.
The words in the navigator's diary revealed a kind of fear and hatred of interstellar pirates. Even if his caravan had ten escort warships, it still did not make the navigator feel safe at all, and these interstellar pirates were also from the earth.
One of the main reasons why the federal government is preparing to move its ruling center to Chang'an.
However, the records about this golden route only take up half of the diary files. After the spacecraft arrived at Noyes, a colonial planet, the route of the spacecraft changed, and even the function of the entire fleet also changed.
.
During the first great development period of the Earth Federation, the merchant fleets of large companies were not only engaged in commercial activities, but sometimes also served as expedition fleets, development fleets, and other activities that could benefit large companies. Some
Large companies will even let their fleets serve as interstellar pirates to attack rival fleets.
Obviously, the fleet this navigator belongs to is such a multi-functional fleet. When their commercial mission is completed, they will transform into another functional fleet, such as an exploration fleet.
In the history of the early development of the Earth Federation, Noyes was also a very famous planet with special significance. For example, the Earth Federation’s first official contact with an alien civilization was on this planet.
A civilization treaty signed with alien civilizations was also on this planet, and for a long time this planet was also the starting planet for the Earth Federation's pioneering fleet.
Although the navigator's diary did not specify the specific situation, judging from the content of the subsequent diary, the change in the functions of their fleet was due to an unexpected incident, which forced them to suspend their ongoing commercial missions.
, transform the entire fleet into an exploration fleet, and launch exploration missions towards the unknown star areas of the universe.
And it can be seen from a few words that this fleet was not the only fleet that changed its mission due to emergencies at that time. Almost all the fleets that were resting on Noyes Star at that time changed the nature of the fleet and headed towards the depths of the universe.
Go ahead.
Although there was only one sentence about the emergency in the diary, and it was a poor poem, Leo still found clues from this poem and found out the details of the incident by comparing it with the history of the development of the Federation.
.
The poem in the navigator's diary is about a vase filled with flowers suddenly blooming in the dark night. Although this poem is very rubbish in poetry, the description of the phenomenon is very good, because this emergency is called the Vase Incident.
.
The cause of the incident was that multiple cosmic telescopes located in Noyes observed an energy group suddenly blooming in the cosmic space about five light years away from the Noyes star. The shape of the energy group was like a vase filled with flowers.
It would be fine if it was just a weird energy pattern. After all, there are various forms of energy in the universe. But while observing this group of spiritual energy, Noyes' scientists also captured an energy wave signal. This energy wave signal
It is the energy wave signal used by the Earth Federation's early pioneering spacecraft. The only meaning of this energy wave signal is that a colonizable planet has been discovered.
Because the technology of the Earth Federation was underdeveloped in the early days, this energy wave signal device was very large and could only be used once. Therefore, this energy wave signal would only be activated when it was determined that the planet could be colonized.
At that time, people on Planet Noyes did not study why early energy wave signals were still being used. They were more concerned about the location of the energy wave signals, because that location was a blank area from the star field map of the Earth Federation.
According to the Earth Federation's Pioneer Act, before the Earth Federation fleet arrives to colonize the planet, any resource development on the planet by the Pioneers is valid, inheritable, and falls within the scope of private property.
So when the relevant news spread, all the spacecraft capable of cross-space flight on the planet Noyes turned into pioneer spaceships and headed towards the new colonial planet. Although judging from the energy wave signals, they had obviously already
It is impossible to be the first discoverer, but it is still good to follow the first discoverer and eat some soup. After all, it still contains huge benefits.
After the Noyes Planet Administration Center passed the relevant news back to the Earth Federation, the Earth Federation decided to send a fleet to that colonial planet after discussion. However, five years have passed since this trip, plus the time spent on discussions and formation of the fleet, etc.
By the time the federal fleet's pioneering spacecraft arrived at Noyes, the energy wave signal had also disappeared.
After that, the Federation fleet went to the star field where the signal source was based on the coordinates recorded by Noyes star scientists. When they arrived, they found that there was nothing in that star field. The entire star field was equivalent to fifty times the size of the solar system.
, there is nothing, not to mention the colonized planet, not even a meteorite or cosmic dust, and based on the data measured by various means, it is found that the energy activity in this star field is infinitely close to zero.
And those pioneering spacecraft that came to this star field five years earlier than the Federation fleet also disappeared. Until Leo's time period, this matter was still the biggest mystery in the history of the Earth Federation's development.
Scientists from the Earth Federation have given countless explanations for this, and the one that is considered to be most likely to be close to the answer is that the vase-shaped energy pattern started with two Omega-level advanced life forms fighting, and those fleets that went to the star field in advance were
Being involved in the war between higher life forms, everything in that star field was destroyed, so that's why there was such a weird dead energy state in that star field.
As for why those pioneering fleets did not avoid the battle of higher life forms, but also took the initiative to join up, it was because the Earth Federation had a very deep understanding of psykers at that time, and they called psykers new humans or superpowers.
I don't know about the existence of Omega-level advanced life forms.
However, this speculation was later denied by some people, because through some connections, someone entrusted people from advanced civilizations in the Supreme Council of the Universe to investigate the past battle data of Omega-level advanced life forms, and found that there had never been any Omega-level advanced life forms.
We fought so close to the Earth Federation, a new cosmic civilization.
The distance of five light years is like an abyss to some civilizations, but to an Omega-level advanced life form, it is only a few steps away. If two advanced life forms fight at such a close distance, it will definitely be against them.
