Chapter 289 Expedition to the Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula is 600 light-years away from the S1 galaxy and is one of the destinations for the strategic transfer determined by Li Chunfeng.
This nebula is the most observed nebula in the Earth era, because it is the brightest nebula in the entire starry sky, and it is 1,500 light-years away from the solar system.
It is the birthplace of stars in the Milky Way, the closest to the solar system, and contains thousands of new stars and columnar interstellar dust clouds that nurture stars.
Most of the stars in the Orion Nebula were formed 2-3 million years ago, and their actual age was less than one thousandth of that of the Sun and Earth.
Since the Hubble Telescope began to observe this in 1993, Li Chunfeng has very rich information.
Since there is a source of water molecules in this molecular cloud, after deriving by his own supercomputer, Li Chunfeng selected some formed star systems around the nebula as the target areas, which are most likely to give birth to life planets.
After further observation and research on remote observation systems, a galaxy about 80 light years away from the nebula was determined and was calibrated as a S2 galaxy.
With this as the destination, the reconnaissance warship was transmitted through the space gate. After reconnaissance, three natural wormholes were found outside the S2 galaxy.
When the reconnaissance warship released the new "Pathfinder V" and crossed three wormholes, one of the "Pathfinder V" sent back exciting photos.
That galaxy is 25 light-years away from the S2 galaxy, 98 light-years away from the edge of the Orion Nebula, and 620 light-years away from the S1 galaxy.
Its star is 1.8 times the size of the sun. At 2.8 astronomical units away from the star, there is a blue planet, 1.6 times the size of the earth.
This galaxy is a large galaxy with 12 planets. "Pathfinder V" is at the entrance of the wormhole outside the galaxy, and is still 50 astronomical units away from the blue planet.
When "Pathfinder V" flew towards the planet, it began to return the photos taken, because judging from the color of the photos, 99% of the planet are life planets.
Since the search for the Life Planet, Intelligence No. 1 has been sorting out the information sent back by the "Pathfinder V" launched by various reconnaissance warships, marking out all the star systems that may have life planets, and prioritizing them, and then reporting them to Li Chunfeng.
Now that I suddenly received this information, I reported it to Li Chunfeng as soon as possible.
When the projection played the photo of "Pathfinder V" back, Li Chunfeng was also a little excited. Although "Pathfinder V" is 50 astronomical units away from the planet, the photos taken still reflected enough information.
Li Chunfeng could see that at least the ocean coverage area of this planet is similar to that of the Earth, accounting for more than half of the planet. Otherwise, this kind of water-blue color would not be visible from the starry sky.
It is said that there is life if there is water. Obviously, this planet must be a planet of life. It’s just that the speed of “Pathfinder V” is too slow, and Li Chunfeng can’t wait.
Now a fleet is arranged immediately to set out to expedition the unknown galaxy of the Orion Nebula. Considering that the planet is extremely likely to be a life planet, the Wind God Empire is likely to settle down there, so Li Chunfeng named it the Wind God Star and the Wind God Galaxy.
After years of development, the number of warships in the Wind God Empire has now exceeded 200,000.
The General Staff re-divided the fleet composition. According to the current number of human warship commanders and staff officers, a squadron is composed of 500 Wei-class warships. The flagship is a new general-class warship. There are 501 warships in the entire fleet alone.
A fleet is formed with 20 squadrons, and a frigate consisting of 500 school-class warships is assigned to the fleet commander. The flagship is a new imperial-class warship. There are 10,521 warships in the entire fleet alone.
A large fleet is formed with 10 fleets, with the flagship being the Xinfeng Shen-class warships. There are 105,211 warships in the entire fleet alone.
The commander of the squadron is a major general, the commander of the fleet is a lieutenant general, and the commander of the large fleet is a general. There is no general yet, and the only one who can command the large fleet is the head of the empire.
The 4th Fleet was dispatched this time. The fleet commander was Sun Xiaoyun, known as the "Mu Guiying in the Army". His behavior was known for his strict behavior. In the face of any emergencies, he could always deal with them in a calm manner.
Although I have never led the fleet to be dispatched because of having children in recent years, I have never brought any training or competitions that I can participate in. At least every year, the fleet simulation offensive and defensive competitions are always ranked in the top five.
When Sun Xiaoyun received the order, she was on vacation and immediately started to pack her luggage, bid farewell to Zhang Wenhao and her children, and went to her flagship "Wu Zetian".
According to regulations, the fleet commander already has his own fixed flagship. Sun Xiaoyun also used the imperial-class warships of the "Wu Zetian" in his missions, and later all warships were fully transformed.
The old "Wu Zetian" has been reduced to an ordinary school-level warship, with only numbers but no longer names.
The new "Wu Zetian" is a new imperial-class combined warship with a huge force ring of 60 kilometers in diameter. The entire warship has three layers. The lower two layers are composed of three school-class warships and some military-class warships. The uppermost layer is a school-class warship.
Considering the demand for space gates in fleet sports operations, the designers of the Battleship Design Center decided to add another level of warships that can open the space gates in addition to the New Wind God and New Life Levels.
This is the new emperor level. Its force field ring and energy module are moderately amplified to accommodate a space transmission device that reaches 50 kilometers at the longest point, and is reasonably arranged into a hexagonal star shape.
This standard module quickly developed into a space gate special warship, and even gradually became independent in the future, becoming a more widely used special warship.
Based on this module, the corresponding school-level battleship and warship are embedded and combined, so that the attack and defense systems of various weapons of the entire battleship can be reasonably arranged, and the overall control is at its best.
This combination method is different from the original Xinfeng Shen-class warship. The method is to first combine the main body part in the middle, and then embed the force field ring and space transmission device. The energy part is more problematic.
The new combination method not only does not have this problem, but is also more flexible overall. When the general modules such as force field ring, main energy, space transmission, etc. have not been completed, the school-level warships that have been completed still have the ability to fight at any time.
This is especially suitable for the Wind God Empire, which is currently in a mobile state.
When Sun Xiaoyun came to the battleship command room, she found that her new partner, Chief of Staff Zhong Yiyang, had arrived.
"General Sun, the entire fleet is ready and is waiting for your instructions." Zhong Yiyang stepped forward to report to Sun Xiaoyun.
Zhong Yiyang looks like most imperial citizens, very young, but his actual age is 42 years old, much older than Sun Xiaoyun.
During the Earth era, Zhong Yiyang was a re-employed soldier. Before his re-employment, he served as the captain of a naval frigate. Later, due to family reasons, he returned to the local area and worked in the procuratorate.
When the alien invaded, because my mother-in-law was the financial director of Fengshen Technology's subsidiary, she got the opportunity to move the whole family.
During the Fengshen Technology period, Zhong Yiyang was a family member and had no job opportunities. Later, before and after the founding of the Fengshen Empire, he was selected to be in the new police department.
It was done silently for several years until the Kunpeng warship attacked and the Fengshen Empire fled, which touched Zhong Yiyang's former military passion. In addition, he had just used genetic modification agents, and he became younger and more energetic and energetic.
So after layers of assessment, I finally entered the military university staff major in the virtual world and successfully graduated three years ago.
Over the past three years, he served in many small patrol fleets and reconnaissance fleets. Through hard work, he has achieved many achievements and finally won a big opportunity for promotion, defeated many competitors, and became a fleet-level staff officer.
When Zhong Yiyang knew that his partner was General Sun Xiaoyun, known as "Mu Guiying in the Army", he was also under pressure. After all, Sun Xiaoyun is the top five in the fleet offensive and defensive competition in recent years. In addition, Sun Xiaoyun is now the wife of Zhang Wenhao, the elder of the Empire.
This time, the two of them had just partnered and received a major task. After receiving the task notice, Zhong Yiyang hurried to the fleet to inspect all preparations before the expedition to ensure that there were no missing.
Sun Xiaoyun quickly checked the check list provided by the fleet intelligent brain, and after confirming that all preparations were correct, he said: "Very good. Since the preparations for the expedition are completed, let's call the head of state to confirm and see what else the head of state needs to explain."
As he said that, the smart brain called the head of state.
Zhong Yiyang looked at him with some envy. After all, there were not many generals who could directly talk to the head of state.
More than ten seconds later, a figure was projected in front of the two, and it was the head of state Li Chunfeng.
"Hello, Head of State!" Sun Xiaoyun and Zhong Yiyang hurriedly saluted Li Chunfeng.
"Hello you guys. How about it? Everything is ready, right? The corresponding biological isolation and testing spacecraft are ready, and all the equipment is complete, right?" Li Chunfeng asked.
"Yes, Chief of Staff Zhong has checked it, and I have also read the list of confirmations from the Intelligent Brain, and they are all ready. Please give me instructions from the Head of State, should we set off immediately?" Sun Xiaoyun asked.
"Well, this time, a special spacecraft in the space gate is specially equipped for your mission. After you get there, you will use it to stabilize the space gate. I wish you success!" Li Chunfeng explained.
"Yes, ensure that the task is completed." The two said at the same time.
Li Chunfeng's figure then disappeared.
Near the planets whose S1 galaxy has been named GS1, there are many giant spaceports. This special spacecraft is designed to be parked in warships and spacecraft based on the general force field ring and energy module.
In interstellar space, if warships or spacecraft turn off all engines and dock without a spaceport, some kind of drift may occur.
Even if sometimes you accidentally happen to be in the accelerated string wave area, the battleship or spacecraft will drift far in a blink of an eye.
However, if the engine is always turned on, especially the main engine, this kind of waste of energy is somewhat unworthy, so generally interstellar civilizations will build spaceports to be used to moor warships and spacecraft in space.
Usually, spaceports are built on a planet's high orbit and are fixed infrastructure. However, for the Wind God Empire in a mobile state, such spaceports will not be built.
Since the warships of the Wind God Empire all have the Ser engine, if the warships are parked in the starry sky, they often use the Ser engine to maintain the posture of the warship.
When the combination concept became popular in battleship design, a movable spaceport special spacecraft was born in the general basic module.
Near the GS1 planet, the Wind God Empire has been stationed for more than four years, and the mobile spaceport has now stretched for more than 100,000 kilometers.
It is divided into military ports and civil ports. Civil ports are specially moored for life-class spacecraft. Of course, some high-level people in the empire have been allowed to own their own private spacecraft, and their spacecraft are also moored in civil ports.
In the Wind God Empire, everyone has corresponding identity levels and points. Points are converted based on the contributions made by citizens to the empire. The formula is extremely complex and is responsible for the zero artificial intelligence.
Imperial citizens will have basic points from birth. These are points that have contributed to the population of the Empire as imperial citizens. In the future, there will be various things that will allow you to increase or decrease points during the growth process of your generation.
What kind of points correspond to what level will naturally enjoy corresponding treatment. The Fengshen Empire is a country with the core value standard of citizens' mastery of science and technology.
This system, coupled with the popularization of learning machines, gave birth to a large number of scientists, which enabled the Fengshen Empire to quickly reach the peak of Level 4 civilization in just over a decade.
At this time, a fleet of ten thousand warships was slowly sailing out from this stretch of military spaceport.
The entire fleet consists of 10,000 Wei-class warships, 500 school-class warships, 500 transport ships and 500 space dock ships, 20 new general class, 5 biological detection spacecraft, 2 space gate special warships and 1 new imperial-class warship.
After the fleet sailed 100,000 kilometers, a simple-shaped huge ring spacecraft slowly flew out of the fleet at a location determined by the General Staff. It seemed that the spacecraft was like a new imperial-level chassis.
This ring spacecraft is a special warship in the Space Gate. It has only one purpose and will be responsible for opening the space door leading to the Wind God Galaxy.
At this moment, after the invisible space energy is output, a space gate with space ripple is displayed on the screen of the space detector 100 kilometers in front of the circular spacecraft.
Afterwards, Sun Xiaoyun immediately commanded the fleet and passed through the space gate at an extremely fast speed. The whole process took only less than 5 minutes.
