The vast galaxy, the vast space, time flies, and time flows.
One hundred years passed by, countless people woke up, and countless people fell asleep. One after another different faces appeared and disappeared in front of Zhao Changxing, disappeared and appeared again,
Like reincarnations one after another.
Sometimes, a certain face has not appeared in front of Zhao Changxing for many, many years, and Zhao Changxing will know that that person has exhausted his life during the long voyage and left this world forever.
He watched the babies turn into children, the children turned into teenagers, the teenagers turned into young people, the young people turned into middle-aged and then old, until he died.
For Zhao Changxing, the reincarnation of life and death has lost the power to shake his mind and emotions, and has become a very normal and trivial matter. However, even so, he still retains the human
emotions.
He would still be sad, still sad, still excited and happy. What worried him was that because of his too long lifespan, the human part would be worn away and he would become a "god", which did not happen in the end.
Gods without human emotions are also not what Zhao Changxing hopes to become. He knows that if he becomes a "god", then I am afraid that human civilization will also lose a lot of things.
Eventually it was lost to everyone.
During these hundreds of years, he still put most of his energy into learning as he did in every previous interstellar voyage.
Human civilization has produced too much new knowledge, and in the past there was no time to fully learn it. Now, civilization has stopped to some extent and has stopped its progress, which has become the best moment for him to catch up with the progress of civilization.
One day, the civilization leader who was responsible for the daily management of civilization found him.
"Leader, the inertial navigation phase has ended and it's time to decelerate."
At this moment, Zhao Changxing suddenly realized that the long voyage that lasted hundreds of years and had a total distance of more than twenty light years was coming to an end.
It only takes about another 100 years of deceleration before the human fleet will reach the destination of this voyage.
"Okay." He said, "Let's carry out the plan."
"yes."
The inertial navigation stage is the stage where space carriers and passenger and cargo spacecraft have the fewest failures, because many components do not need to operate or only need to operate at low power.
Now, the propulsion engine is about to start again, and the number of failures will inevitably increase. It is time to arrange to wake up more manpower.
As a result, millions of engineers and scientists, logistics personnel, service personnel, etc. were once again awakened in the human fleet. Many roller rooms that had been sealed for hundreds of years were once again connected to the life support system.
Guests are welcomed.
Under people's control,
The aerospace carrier and the passenger and cargo spacecraft turned around and began to spray out fierce plasma flames.
At the same time, more than 10,000 satellites of various types did not slow down with the human fleet. They were released by various spacecraft, and instead began to accelerate.
If there are no accidents, after more than forty years at most, they will quickly pass by the destination of this voyage at a speed of nearly tens of thousands of kilometers per second - the star system numbered h1 by human civilization.
During the short flyby process, these satellites will explore as much information about this star system as possible at the closest speed, and send it back to the human fleet through the transit satellite for the human fleet to use before it reaches the target star.
When the relationship is established, we can make the most reasonable and scientific arrangements for the development time of the following hundreds of years based on the actual situation.
Time that allows for peaceful development is always precious. Every period of time must be utilized as much as possible.
At this moment, the human fleet has enough confidence and resources to carry out this seemingly wasteful advance detection operation.
Although there were frequent accidents along the way, the destination was changed twice, and an extremely dangerous war was experienced along the way, at this moment, due to Zhao Changxing's persistence long ago, the resources and energy reserves in the human fleet are still at a high level.
It's just more than 10,000 satellites, it's just a drizzle, it won't have any impact at all. Like in the past, even Zhao Changxing had to shave his head due to resource and energy constraints, it will never happen.
Under this arrangement, the human fleet once again spent decades in peace. Various data from the H1 galaxy arrived as promised. After accumulating to a certain extent, the top leaders and elites of various civilizations began to awaken and began to
Participate in the huge project of formulating a long-term development plan for civilization.

The main star of the h1 galaxy is a white subgiant that is slightly more massive than the sun. Correspondingly, its surface temperature is higher than that of the sun, and its radiation is more intense than that of the sun.
Its age is similar to that of the sun. However, for stars, the higher its mass, the shorter its life span. Although its age is similar to that of the sun, the sun is only in its prime at this moment, but it has already shown signs of aging.
It is inevitably evolving towards a red giant.
Nearest to it, there is a poor rocky planet locked by its gravity. Its mass is about the same as the Earth, but its radius is 12% smaller than the Earth. This means that it has a higher density.
The side facing the star is hot all day long, with the highest temperature reaching nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, enough to melt a lot of steel. The back side is freezing cold all day long.
In addition to this planet, it has four other large planets, two of which are rocky and two of which are gaseous. In addition, there are a few dwarf planets.
What makes scientists feel a little strange is that in this galaxy, apart from larger stars and their satellites, there are very few celestial bodies like asteroids and comets. This is completely different from the solar system.
In the solar system, there are at least millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt just between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, not to mention the number of overseas celestial bodies such as the Kuiper Belt and the ecliptic disc.
A group of scientists studied for a long time, and finally reached a more unified opinion. They believe that this may be hundreds of millions of years ago, another star passed by it at close range, and its gravity caused a tremor inside the star system.
In the end, under the combined effect of stars and many large planets, most of the lower-mass stars were either captured by the gravity of the large planets and became satellites, or they crashed into the large planets, and most of the rest were expelled
Because of the galaxy.
In this way, there are only two or three big cats and kittens in this star system, and there are not a large number of small stars with different shapes and strange shapes.
But these are discussions at an academic level. From a practical level, it doesn't matter whether there are those small stars or not.
Time passed quickly, and more than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the speed of the human fleet relative to the H1 star has dropped to only a few dozen kilometers per second, and is still decreasing rapidly.
Finally, the entire fleet anchored in the H1 galaxy, next to the fourth planet from the inside—the Saturn-like gas giant planet numbered H1-4.
The mass and size of planet h1-4 are similar to Saturn, but due to the relatively violent radiation of star h1, its surface temperature is much higher than that of Saturn, and its magnetic field is also stronger.
It was discovered that the magnetic field of planet H1-4 extends to millions of kilometers away, almost covering its entire satellite system. The violent radiation from the H1 star collides violently with the magnetic field of the planet, creating a far larger
The intense auroras that could be seen from the earth were hundreds and thousands of times larger, magnificent and brilliant.
Due to the combined effect of its own motion and radiation, as well as the gravity of the satellite, there is an extremely violent storm on the planet H1-4. Through observation instruments, people can clearly see that there is an envelope at the equatorial edge of the planet
A huge storm with a height of more than one billion square kilometers, which occupies about 1/40 of the planet's surface area, is larger than the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, and is equivalent to more than three times the total surface area of the Earth.
.
Further observations showed that in this huge storm, the fastest wind speed was even close to the speed of sound. Under such a violent storm, even the most advanced "Mercury" class battleship of human civilization accidentally fell into,
It will also be torn directly.
The space environment is always different from the planet's surface environment.
At the same time, under the influence of this planet, the many satellites orbiting it also have very harsh environments. Some are covered with lava, some have frequent earthquakes, and some satellites eject ice volcanoes that can even be ejected directly into orbit.
go.
But human civilization still chose this planet as its first place to stay. The reason is simple. Even though its environment is extremely harsh, compared to other planets, the environment is still the best.
The scientific and technological strength of human civilization is enough to shield against the influence of such adverse factors and tenaciously take root here. At most, the residential base needs to be built thicker, the reliability of each component needs to be higher, and space activities need to be more cautious.
That’s all.
At this moment, Zhao Changxing's mood was not affected at all by the harsh environment in front of him.
Looking at the huge stars, huge planets, and numerous satellites, Zhao Changxing was in high spirits, and even made an exception to drink a glass of wine at the celebration.
"Here will be the place where our human civilization will truly take off. Here, we will have a population of hundreds of billions, and we will truly step into the third-level civilization. We will have greater strength and will no longer be afraid.
No matter the weather."
In the huge banquet hall, facing the gazes of many high-level civilizations and elites, and facing the shooting of media cameras, Zhao Changxing raised the wine glass in his hand. But what he faced was not in the direction of the guests, but the Iron Blood Nebula.
direction.
"This cup is dedicated to the heroes who escorted us to finally reach here safely."
