Chapter 743, The Long Interstellar Journey

 According to incomplete statistics secretly made by the Blue Star Alliance, 30% of clones will lose their lives within just a few years after being cultivated.

Well, to be honest, this is a bit scary data.

In addition, the exploration fleet is not entirely made up of clones.

Natural people like Fang Mingming are soldiers recruited from the home planet behind.

But among the soldiers in the exploration fleet, the proportion of natural persons is less than 0.1%.

Of course, this is also for some kind of political correctness. After all, if there are only clone soldiers in the exploration fleet, this will inevitably lead to some conflicts between clones and natural humans.

Clones are also human beings, and their lives are also lives. Why should clones charge at the front and fight while natural people are lazy and enjoying themselves in the rear?

The birth of this kind of contradiction and conflict will not disappear due to objective reasons such as too far a supplementary distance.

In fact, Fang Mingming, who came from his home star more than ten light years away, stayed in the hibernation box for more than a hundred years.

No way, even though humans have developed for more than a thousand years since they stepped out of their home planet, they still have not been able to break through the super-light navigation technology, such as curvature technology, wormhole technology, dimensional gate transmission technology, etc., all of which are still on the human technology tree.

Just an idea.

In the past thousand years, the most important technological breakthrough in human navigation technology is the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion miniaturization technology, which replaced the nuclear fission reactor, ion propulsion engine, light sail propulsion technology, etc. on the battleship with

A controllable nuclear fusion reactor plus a particle propulsion engine.

Although this does not get rid of the old routine of boiling water in human civilization, even if the particle propulsion engine driven by controllable nuclear fusion continues to accelerate, it can only reach a maximum of 12% of the speed of light, but at least it is within a range of dozens of light years around the parent star.

The inside is barely enough.

And the Blue Star Alliance is still doing well in the development of other technologies.

For example, artificial intelligence, materials science, etc.

This also advances the exploration efforts of the Blue Star Alliance.

Of course, as the top leaders of the exploration fleet, the generals are still not satisfied with the technological development of the Blue Star Alliance.

For example, a speed of 12% of the speed of light is still too slow for exploration and interstellar warfare.

It takes at least eighty years to depart from the home star and reach another star system. For example, the current EK71 star system of the Third Exploration Fleet takes one hundred and twenty years.

Moreover, super-light communication technology did not appear, making the connection between the exploration fleet and the home star extremely inconvenient.

It would take more than ten years for any communication to be exchanged. This speed is simply equivalent to nothing.

It is precisely because of this that the exploration fleet actually has great power outside.

For example, the right to establish diplomatic relations with alien civilizations, the right to engage in war, etc., have been temporarily delegated to the major exploration fleets by the Blue Star Alliance.

And artificial intelligence has failed to develop the strong artificial intelligence predicted by scientists.

The absence of strong artificial intelligence means that the combat robots under development do not have enough intelligence to deal with complex and ever-changing battlefields. Therefore, in the war with the Zerg, humans often can only use their lives to fill the gap.

The latest research result in materials science - high-strength carbon nanotubes, is a high-performance material developed when humans built space elevators more than 500 years ago, and is widely used in interstellar spacecraft, deep-sea buildings, space stations, etc.

But it is precisely because of the lack of higher-strength materials that humans cannot continue to increase the speed of space. After all, a speed of 12% higher than the speed of light will easily tear spacecraft such as space battleships into pieces.

Fang Xiaoyue didn't see anyone she knew in the canteen, so after a quick meal, she left the canteen and went straight to the gym.

He plans to improve his strength during these three days of vacation.

You must know that the main mission this time is not easy to complete. Those bugs are not a good thing. It is very common for you to end up in this plane by accident.

Although the synthetic meat and synthetic vegetables in the canteen have a very average taste, they are rich in nutrients and contain high energy. Compared with natural meat, vegetables are actually stronger.

The fitness room is located in the artificial gravity area.

Since the Blue Star Alliance failed to crack the mystery of the unified field of basic forces, it was unable to achieve true gravity on the battleship.

The so-called artificial gravity area is actually a wheel area on the logistics support ship.

In this area, all rooms are hung on a huge runner. The runner rotates at a slow speed. The centrifugal force generated causes all objects to stick to the floor facing away from the runner, thus achieving false artificial gravity.

.

Of course, although this artificial gravity is not real gravity, the existence of this area is a necessity for soldiers, doctors and other humans on the battleship.

Because humans are not natural cosmic creatures, they have lived on planets for generations. If they are in a state of weightlessness for a long time, it will cause osteoporosis, muscle relaxation, reduced immunity, aging, and various space motion diseases.

Therefore, allowing the soldiers on the battleship to be under artificial gravity at regular intervals has great benefits for both combat effectiveness and morale.

It was Fang Xiaoyue's first time to visit the fitness room on the logistics support ship. Its area was not large, only more than 300 square meters.

Well, that's not surprising, because there are many fitness rooms, just like bathrooms.

The fitness room of more than 300 square meters is filled with various fitness equipment, including ancient barbells, tension machines, rowing machines, and advanced electric stimulation fighting machines, etc.

In this fitness room alone, there are more than 20 soldiers who are exercising hard with no sticks on. Big beads of sweat are constantly falling from their foreheads. There are more than a dozen AI intelligent robots on the side to serve them, either delivering or delivering goods.

Put on towels, or bring drinks or something.

In short, if you exercise here, you may not be able to see long-legged beauties, but at least the fitness atmosphere is still very strong.

Fang Xiaoyue did not play with the advanced electric stimulation fighting machine, but got on a treadmill, set the speed and started exercising.

After running more than 20 kilometers on the treadmill in one breath, he just got off the treadmill and changed to other fitness equipment.

But having said that, the physical fitness of human beings in this interstellar age is far beyond that before they set foot on their home planet.

After running more than 20 kilometers like this, Fang Xiaoyue didn't feel too tired. She just had a layer of sweat on her body and was a little out of breath.

In the past, such physical fitness was probably considered the pinnacle of human beings.

But here, in this fitness room alone, there are many soldiers who can do it.

However, this is not surprising. Although the Blue Star Alliance's technology tree has climbed very slowly over the past thousands of years, there are still certain achievements in research on the human body itself.
