Chapter 438: The Junkyard of the Cancer of the Universe
Since breaking out of the solar system in 2351, human civilization has officially begun the Orion Arm era under an indescribable sense of urgency.
The Salvationists came to the fore to form a new Orion Arm coalition government.
On January 1, 2500, the solar system was shrouded in a dome, and the mother star began to enter a countdown to its demise.
In the same year, the Twenty Years of Miracles began, although the stars woke up in the solar system, the people left in the solar system compiled their core structures into photoelectric signals and transmitted them.
In 2515, humans in the Orion Arm rebuilt another star outside the solar system, a super quantum intelligence that was larger, more powerful, and more powerful in computing power.
With the help of the stars, the colonies quickly completed institutional integration, formed an interstellar republican federal government, and named the civilizational complex that covered an area of more than a hundred light-years at the time the Morrowind Empire.
This is a republican federal system called the Empire, which seems very strange and weird.
The new interstellar era has put forward new requirements for the civilization system.
Even within Salvation, which has a very unified ideology and a very clear common goal, there are still differences within it.
Some people believe that since war is imminent, we should enter a state of armament in advance and adopt a military dictatorship.
However, some people believe that if the military dictatorship lasts as long as five hundred years, it will greatly suppress and stifle human creativity, so they advocate a referendum republic that can stimulate the fighting spirit of civilians as much as possible.
However, some people feel that the advancement of civilization requires a great leader. Most people should move more firmly around the path guided by a small number of outstanding leaders, so a federal parliamentary system should be implemented.
Others believe that the parliamentary system that requires referendums on everything is too inefficient, affects social productivity, and is not conducive to the need for quick decision-making in wartime. Therefore, one or several well-deserved and absolutely correct leaders should be elected to implement modern policies that are different from the ancient imperial system.
monarchy.
However, humans really can't choose a perfect leader, and no one claims to be capable of taking on this burden, so in the end, this weird republican federal empire was formed.
In the absence of an absolute leader, the Federal Assembly takes the lead.
The reason why it is named Morrowind Empire is because almost all members of the Salvation Army are following the instructions of historical data and waiting for the arrival of the sage Chen Feng after a thousand years to lead mankind forward.
The late Chen Feng has been invisibly guiding the direction of civilization and played an important role in promoting unity and eliminating differences.
This ideology caused the apocalypse of destruction within the solar system, but in the Orion Arm civilization outside, it became the core driving force that united mankind to move forward together.
The Orion Arm civilization has formed the first priority of continuously and rapidly improving productivity; the first strategy is to accelerate reproduction and increase the total population; to promote academic fairness, accelerate academic exchanges, improve comprehensive education levels, and form an unbounded academic atmosphere in the Orion Arm
as the core idea; a super-era system that takes finding a perfect balance point in the three levels of productivity, scientific and technological innovation, and military strength development as the ultimate goal of system operation.
These four basic elements are the eternal theme of the development of the Orion Arm civilization for more than 600 years.
In short, under the guidance of this civilized system that is both inconsistent and reasonable, the development process of mankind seems to have been pressed on the fast forward button.
With the explosion of human productivity, all pursuits of efficiency concern oneself more than the overall harmony of the universe.
At the same time, due to the continuous improvement of mass-energy conversion technology, humans have consumed a large amount of stellar energy to create metals, semiconductors, low-atomic weight isotopes and other substances with astronomical masses.
The performance of the fifth-generation Dyson membrane far exceeds any generation of Dyson membrane Chen Feng has seen in the past. The absorption efficiency of stellar radiation energy can reach up to 90%, and the upper limit of the total amount of absorption is extremely high.
The performance improvement of the fourth and fifth generation Dyson films does not matter the efficiency, but in terms of the total upper limit of energy absorption and conversion, it is currently up to a hundred times the upper limit of solar energy absorbed by the third generation Dyson film.
It is said that the absorption limit of the sixth-generation Dyson membrane under development can reach a thousand times that of the third generation.
At present, humans have built a total of more than 100,000 fifth-generation Dyson membranes, most of which are located in uninhabited purely industrial planetary systems.
In a prosperous planetary system with a large population settled, the Dyson membrane only turns on the normal performance, and the absorption rate is even suppressed to 60%.
But in the industrial planetary system, the absorption rate of the Dyson membrane has been increased to 90%, and there are also special types of unmanned ships called star diggers coiling near the stars, continuously launching physical toxins towards the stars, and
Increasing the intensity of reactions inside stars greatly speeds up the rate at which they release radiant energy, so that the Dyson membrane surrounding these stars can produce more usable energy.
Taking the intensity and frequency of flare bursts on the star's surface as reference values, the comprehensive index of star bursts whose reaction intensity is artificially increased is at least tens to hundreds of times that of the sun.
This means that the lifespan of these stars has been shortened by tens or hundreds of times artificially by humans. They will complete their life span faster, enter their middle age and then enter the decay stage, and eventually become white dwarfs, neutron stars or physical black holes.
.
Assuming that human civilization still has tens of millions of years to develop, it is really possible to burn out all the stars in the Orion Arm in advance, and then move the whole family to the next galactic cantilever, until the entire galaxy is exhausted.
At that time, the Milky Way will probably be sucked dry by human civilization until it becomes a dead star cemetery.
Chen Feng always compares human beings to the cancer of the universe. Now it seems that he is not unjustly taking the blame.
If stars also have intelligence, they will definitely be scolded.
Although advanced mass-to-energy conversion technology can recycle most materials, there will always be a small number of special materials that are more expensive to recycle and are not as good as newly mined or synthesized.
These materials with low recycling value become space junk.
As humans spare no effort to seize resources and produce, there are more and more space junks, and the total amount is terrifying. Just like the situation faced by humans in the 21st century when they were inside the earth, the processing and storage of garbage has always been a big trouble.
You can't just throw garbage into the universe casually.
It would also be troublesome if a passing ship collided head-on before it entered curvature motion, or when it had just left subspace.
Out of the need to protect space lanes, humans have built dozens of huge space garbage dumps in some empty star areas within the Orion Arm for centralized disposal.
There is a Quantum Jump Stargate built near each garbage dump.
The one selected by Chen Feng is one of the earliest and largest space garbage dumps, numbered 001.
The 001 garbage dump is disk-shaped with a radius of 3.3 billion kilometers. It is composed of millions of planets, large and small, and tens of billions of rubbish debris that looks like broken rocks.
The large planet is comparable to Neptune, and the small one is like Venus and Mercury.
As for the rubbish and wreckage fragments, they are as big as half a giant ship, and as small as a finger fragment.
Of course, these "planets" are not real planets, they are simply spheres formed by the collision and spontaneous attraction of large-scale garbage thrown here by humans.
The distance between planets ranges from tens of thousands of kilometers to hundreds of thousands of millions of kilometers.
Countless planets and debris revolve spontaneously around a geometric center, forming a delicate gravitational balance.
From a distance, the visual effect of the entire garbage dump seems to be that the rings of Saturn have been stolen.
Half a month later, Morrowind 2 broke away from the state of curvature motion and revealed its shape in the universe.
Chen Feng successfully arrived safely.
At this time, he was frowning and paying attention to the external war.
He was in a very anxious mood.
Although he decided to lurk, after all, he was very close to the solar system and the Proxima Galaxy, and strictly speaking he was in the core area of the battlefield.
Morrowind 2's curvature navigation needs to proceed along the stable gravity line, which is the transportation network of the Compound Eyes.
His situation is actually very dangerous. He is not only easy to be found by his own people, but also easier to be discovered by the compound-eyed civilization.
Don't be surprised if one day he is flying, eating hot pot and singing songs, and bumps into a prismatic battleship head-on on the gravitational line.
Chen Feng ordered: "Weixing, approach the largest garbage star in the outermost layer of the fragmented planetary belt in the garbage dump ahead, and prepare to land."
"That's planet 001-7-86kx9175."
"What does this mean?"
Wei Xing: "This planet is mainly composed of space junk released by Science City No. 86 in the seventh core star region. It is also the 9175th junk planet with a diameter greater than one thousand kilometers created by this institute."
Chen Feng nodded, "Very good."
According to Weixing's statistics, Science City No. 86 in the Seventh Sector is a unit that excels in engineering research capabilities. It has created and improved many engineering machines, especially in line with Chen Feng's needs.
Perhaps it was Chen Feng's good luck, or perhaps it was the inevitability of the development of civilization.
Humanity has gradually transferred most of its cutting-edge technological research efforts to the outer layers of the development zone away from the core area.
However, some engineering research institutions and a large amount of industrial productivity are relatively evenly distributed, with a slight focus on the core area.
In mankind's war expectations, the early war with the Compound Eyes will most likely occur in the core area near Proxima Centauri.
On the one hand, mankind has deployed heavy troops here, and on the other hand, it also maintains super production capacity on the spot, so as to replenish combat power nearby in a timely manner, or to quickly promote the transformation of new wartime achievements.
Chen Feng is still driving Morrowind 2, which is based on outdated technology and materials from five hundred years ago.
This garbage dump No. 001 is simply his holy land, full of treasures.
His rubbish is mine.
Picking up anything on the ground can improve the performance of the ship.
As the ship gradually approaches star 9175, the data collected by Weixing becomes more and more accurate and detailed.
"The atmosphere was discovered. The composition of the atmosphere is 33.77% sulfur dioxide, 17.21% carbon dioxide, 15.32% nitrogen, and 11.65% oxygen..."
"Comprehensive assessment shows that this atmosphere is highly toxic to humans and cannot be exposed without protection."
"Ultra-high radioactivity reaction was found, the radiation index is extremely high, high risk, and the time to death from human exposure is 10.15 seconds."
"Planet composition analysis..."
"The proportion of metal is relatively high, most of which are super composite alloys."
"The planet's gravity is 4.71~5.18 times that of the Earth, and it is unevenly distributed."
"The last time garbage was put out was 3019, the last time it was put out was 3014, and the last time it was put out was 3008."
Chen Feng nodded, "Okay, turn on the shield and land. Prepare Galaxy Armor for me, pretending to be engineering auxiliary accessories."
As expected, now that the war has begun, Orion Arm humans will probably no longer deliberately come to the garbage dump to throw things away.
I can stay here with peace of mind for the time being, I just want to improve the performance of Morrowind 2 as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later, Chen Feng walked to the armor room and was preparing to put on the armor one by one when something unexpected happened.
Freders, who never leaves the bedroom, came to the door of the armor room and looked directly at Chen Feng.
His eyes, which were emotionless at first, actually had a hint of eagerness to try.
