Xiao Yu is not worried that the alien technology he encounters will be too far beyond his own.
Although theoretical deductions indicate that aliens, especially intelligent aliens, should exist in large numbers, the Fermi Paradox shows that there are far fewer intelligent alien civilizations than expected. Those that exceed their own technological level should
Less. Xiao Yu didn’t think he would be unlucky to that extent.
There is another reason why Xiao Yu is not worried. The hydrogen bomb is the most accomplished weapon based on the two cornerstones of relativity and quantum theory. In other words, as long as the alien civilization encountered has not broken through these two
Because of the shackles of big theory, it is impossible for it to have weapons more powerful than hydrogen bombs. In this case, why should Xiao Yu be afraid?
The development of civilizations has similarities. For example, on the ancient earth, several civilizations that did not communicate with each other all chose gold as their equivalent. This is a concrete manifestation of the similarities of civilizations. Xiao Yu is convinced that the development of science and technology
It should be from easy to difficult. It is impossible for a civilization to study science from difficult to easy in the universe. If there are extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations, then it is very likely that they will go through the stages of cold weapons, hot weapons, and nuclear power.
.As long as they have not broken through nuclear power and entered the next stage, Xiao Yu has nothing to fear.
You must know that Xiao Yu's power is basically a special case. Xiao Yu's fleet has no social structure, which means there are no internal conflicts, no loss of power due to internal wrangling, conflicts, etc. In other words, Xiao Yu's power is unity
It can be exerted 100%, and thanks to Xiao Yu's powerful computing power, Xiao Yu's power can even be exerted to a super level. As long as the opponent's technological level is not different from his own, then the same technological level can be achieved.
Next, Xiao Yu can definitely sweep everything.
This is the huge advantage of combining the wisdom of the human brain and the computing power of computers.
After the test flight was successful, Dawn replaced Hope and took on the task of collecting nuclear fusion fuel in Saturn. After all, the size difference determined Dawn's higher work efficiency. Hope returned to Titan and served as the mission for the mission.
Various daily maintenance tasks of satellites.
Everything is developing in an orderly manner.
Half a year later, the first proto-Earth meteorite arrived in the orbit of Saturn. Hope was already one million kilometers outside the orbit of Saturn, ready to receive it.
In the quiet space, with the huge Saturn as the background, facing the direction of the sun, a small black dot, trailing a long tail flame behind it, quickly attacks Saturn.
After the meteorite passed over the Hope, Xiao Yu also began to control the Hope, accelerating in the direction of Saturn. Gradually, gradually, as the speed of the Hope increased, the Hope and the meteorite maintained a relatively stationary position.
Below the position, the two flew towards Saturn together at a speed of more than thirty kilometers per second.
Xiao Yu slowly approached the meteorite, fixed it first, and then controlled the robot to install six small nuclear fusion engines at its best placement point, and installed a huge parachute on the other side.
.
After making all preparations, Xiao Yu steered the Hope away from it. After calculating the best orbit, the nuclear fusion engine started to push the meteorite away from its original offset orbit and towards the correct orbit.
Go. When it is still 100,000 kilometers away from Titan's atmosphere, together with the original engine, a total of seven engines work together to push it in the opposite direction and start to slow down.
Its speed relative to Titan began to slowly decrease, from 25 kilometers per second, to 15 kilometers per second, and then to 5 kilometers per second, and it was still declining slowly and continuously, reaching the same speed as Titan.
When the six atmospheres came into contact, its speed had dropped to less than one kilometer per second.
The process of slowing down is necessary. If you don't slow down, the meteorite will hit Titan at a very high speed. This first small meteorite is okay, but if it is the largest one, it has a mass of 300,000 tons.
If a meteorite hits Titan head-on, it is estimated to have an impact on Titan's crust, and it is not surprising that the resulting earthquake would destroy several of Xiao Yu's bases.
When it was only ten kilometers away from the atmosphere, the meteorite's speed had been reduced to 300 meters per second under the recoil of seven nuclear fusion power engines. Then, it crashed into the atmosphere.
Titan's thick atmosphere caused violent friction with it, causing its surface to turn red. However, under such huge friction, its speed also decreased further.
The parachute also opened. This is a high-strength large parachute specially made by Xiao Yu for these meteorites. The entire parachute is opened and is estimated to be several hundred square meters in size. This parachute, together with the nuclear fusion engine and air friction, will provide enough for the meteorites.
cushioning force to ensure it lands smoothly.
Its altitude is constantly decreasing. Around the expected landing area, ten Fengshen helicopters are closely monitoring the area.
Under the combined action of three different forces, the meteorite's final landing speed was sixteen meters per second. This speed was equivalent to a snail crawling, and it smashed a hole twenty meters deep into the ground of Titan.
, a large crater with a radius of 60 meters. The shock wave caused was even observed by Xiao Yu, who was a thousand kilometers away from the impact point.
Fortunately, everything was within the acceptable range. Ten Aeolus helicopters flew over together and lowered the thick steel cable. A robot fixed the steel cable on the meteorite, and the ten Aeolus helicopters worked together to
He pulled it up and flew towards the titanium and zirconium processing base.
The whole process can be described as a thrill without any danger.
Three days later, the second meteorite arrived. It was a large meteorite with a mass of 200,000 tons. Xiao Yu controlled the Hope and installed more than fifty small nuclear fusion engines on it to make it
It landed safely, but it also left a large crater on the ground with a diameter of several hundred meters.
In this way, every few days, a meteorite falls from the sky. These meteorites bring enough titanium and zirconium to Xiao Yu.
Now Xiao Yu can be said to have sufficient raw materials. There are sufficient black insect corpses, sufficient wood spirits, sufficient technological reserves, and sufficient construction resources. With the support of huge resources, Xiao Yu has a new plan.
"It's time to start fleet construction." Xiao Yu silently thought about it.
In Xiao Yu's plan, the interstellar fleet of Yuanyuan 4 includes at least three "county" class spacecraft, at least thirty "township" class spacecraft, and thousands of "village" class spacecraft. After all, the journey is
From the solar system to the Tianyuan 4 star system, there is a distance of about 10.5 light years. Calculated based on Xiao Yu's estimated maximum speed of 500 kilometers per second, it would take more than 6,000 years.
The long period of more than six thousand years is basically equal to the development time of the entire human society, or even a little longer. In such a long time, the loss of the spacecraft itself, the damage of parts, etc., all need to be taken into account.
It simply won't work if the number of fleets is small.
Even in Xiao Yu's plan, at least half of the more than a thousand spaceships are material spacecraft. In other words, they do nothing else and are specially used to store supplies after maintaining their own navigation capabilities.
Even so, according to Xiao Yu's estimation, it would be an eye-opener for the entire fleet to be left with half the number after arriving at the destination.
Therefore, the choice of the destination of your voyage is very important. Because you only have one chance to choose, and if you make the wrong choice, you will find it empty and empty after arriving at your destination, and that will be a lot of fun.
In that situation, Xiao Yu has no other option but to wait for death.
In the Tianyuan Four star system, it can be determined that there is at least one Jupiter-like planet, where Xiao Yu can get sufficient supply of nuclear fusion fuel. It is speculated that there is an Earth-like planet, where Xiao Yu can get a supply of building materials.
Used to build new spaceships. It doesn't matter even if the speculated earth-like planets do not exist, because Xiao Yu knows that the Tianyuan Four star system also has a large number of asteroid rings, and raw materials can be supplemented there.
The long distance and the long time it takes to sail this distance are the biggest obstacles to interstellar navigation. Now Xiao Yu has nuclear fusion power. If Xiao Yu still uses chemical fuel power, he wants to make interstellar navigation.
Sailing, don't even think about it. Calling it a daydream is a bit exaggerated. Calling it crazy or having a broken brain is more like it.
The universe is really too big. The relationship between Tianyuan Si and the sun is equivalent to the relationship between neighbors like the front yard and the backyard. However, with human power, it will take such a long time to get from one point to that point.
Therefore, in humankind's past interstellar navigation concepts, extremely huge spaceships were used as carriers. There must be at least thousands of people on the spacecraft, because in this way, sufficient reproduction can be guaranteed, and it depends on one generation.
Generations of humans have taken turns to realize their dream of interstellar navigation.
Of course, Xiao Yu has no worries about this. As long as there is enough fuel to ensure that the central computer is turned on, time is a simple number to Xiao Yu. One thousand years and ten thousand years are just different numbers.
It has been almost ten years since Xiao Yu left the earth. In these ten years, many things have happened. From the escape from Jupiter, to the landing on Titan, to the completion of the first base, all kinds of things, bit by bit
Drops of water flowed through Xiao Yu's heart one by one.
"People always have to look forward. Although our hometown is good, although it is safe and comfortable, how can we achieve great achievements if we don't venture outside. Let's start the fleet construction plan."
