Chapter 681 The next goal

In the 91st year of the Empire, after 14 years of development, both Venus, Earth, and Mars have entered a new stage. At the same time, Zhang Wenliang abdicated and enjoyed his life. He sat in the position of the emperor for 72 years and had no interest in the "profession" of the emperor. Zhang Wenfeng (the new son of Zhang Jingyuan and Feng Xuezhi) ascended the throne as the empire was 30 years old.

In the past ten years on Mars, Mars became a paradise, and its political means should not be underestimated. After taking over as the emperor, through a series of changes, especially further opening up the scientific research environment, the development of the empire has reached a higher level. Of course, even if it is open, some things cannot be relaxed, such as: complete machine intelligence research!

At the same time, Zhang Chengye's grandson Zhang Yuanguang, after a crazy competition, ascended the position of the Governor of Mars, can be said to be the next imperial emperor. Now, boss Zhang Jingyuan has a large group of descendants, and those who have the ability to ascend the throne are calculated based on a hundred. Zhang Yuanguang, who broke through the siege in such an environment, was amazed by Zhang Jingyuan when he saw it.

Over the years, human society has also made rapid progress and firmly moving towards the path of interstellar civilization.

First, on the earth, through iron-fisted means, several disobedient organizations, religions and nations have been severely rectified. The earth finally has a deep foundation, which is not comparable to that of Venus and Mars. Therefore, after the transformation of the social environment, strong power has erupted, and its technological development and social progress have made rapid progress. Now, on the earth, it already has its own spacecraft technology - although there is support from the Chinese Empire, it has been digested and absorbed in the end, mastered by itself, and formed a group of core scientists. It is also very good.

Second, on Venus today, not only has the essence taken away by the Civilization spacecraft, but it is also more advanced and developed. In line with the so-called old sayings that the old ones do not go to the new ones, the older equipment, etc., have been removed from the cruelty, and have actually promoted the upgrading and transformation of society. Invisibly, the negative influence at that time has now turned into a driving force to promote social progress! People are constantly pursuing innovation, pursuing progress, and pursuing leading this era!

Third, Mars has now become a water park, and it should be called "Mercury" in its name; and Mars is also a freshwater ocean - this makes those who sell salt on the earth make a fortune! The 70-year salt mineral property rights purchased by the Empire on Earth have long expired, and now they have to be directly purchased from the Republic; although the Republic does not dare to slaughter people, there are many people who make money through this.

The average ocean depth of Mars is as high as 1,300 meters. In such an ocean, a large number of creatures live. Especially with the release of plant island technology, Mars becomes a sea of ​​life. The reflectors arranged in the orbit of Venus have added enough light to Mars; even if Mars is far away from the sun, the light is still sufficient.

In this prosperous environment, the Chinese Empire is planning the next immigration plan! More than 20 years ago, the second spacecraft has entered the acceptance stage. This spacecraft is another innovative collection of imperial technology!

It is 230 kilometers long and has a diameter of 80 kilometers. The solar sail adopts folding technology, with a spreading diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers, and its spreading area reaches 3.2 million square kilometers; even the effective area is more than 3.1 million square kilometers. The development of science and technology has made today's human society unimaginable a hundred years ago. In order to promote the spacecraft, a 3.2 million square kilometers of solar sail is truly one-third of the land area of ​​China that year!!!

In order to build this second-generation spacecraft, the Empire dragged back three asteroids with a diameter of 500 kilometers from the outer solar system, and after smelting it, it was only possible to extract sufficient metal resources. The weight of the spacecraft itself was 800 trillion tons. If it was carried on various sealed factories, materials, personnel, etc. according to the design, the lifting capacity would be more than 100 trillion tons! This is because of the large number of new lightweight materials.

Because of the latest technology, the capacity and temperature resistance of the solar sails have been greatly improved, and can withstand millions of times the Earth's standard light (the light pressure near the earth is about 480 kilograms per square kilometer). Of course, because of nearly 100% reflection, the temperature of the solar sail is not particularly high, and the thrust increases a lot. Therefore, the solar sail itself alone can provide the spacecraft with up to 3.2 trillion tons of thrust. Combined with the spacecraft, it can provide the spacecraft with an acceleration of about 0.032 meters per second. This acceleration is much smaller than the first spacecraft, Civilization. This is because the spacecraft is too large, and in order to support its volume, the amount of metal has to be increased! Even light metals are not easy to use too much.

The length of 230 kilometers, plus the main body is mainly a metal body, and its mass is almost close to the fluid self-balancing point of the celestial body. The so-called fluid self-balancing point of the celestial body means that after reaching a certain point, the celestial body will automatically collapse and change to a spherical shape. Therefore, when building a spacecraft with a length of 230 kilometers, its keel technology is really like a pillar. The pressure it bears can almost push Mount Everest out of the earth!

The advanced technology has made the Earth, which has just mastered spacecraft technology, sigh. In fact, even if the cost is not enough, the Earth's spacecraft technology can only be built to 50 kilometers at most. No matter how large it is, it cannot withstand its own gravity and will collapse. It does not mean that only when the diameter of 500 kilometers (rock texture) can the celestial bodies collapse. In fact, even one centimeter of diameter will collapse, but it will collapse, but it is just too small. The length of 50 kilometers, the pressure per square meter at the center of the keel will be as high as 200,000 tons! It is enough to cause ordinary metals to collapse and atomic bonds to break! Under such pressure, ordinary metals will be as loose as sand.

In addition, the Empire's engine technology has also made innovations and breakthroughs. The Gentian No. 2 multi-axis combined engine can provide 5 million tons of thrust, and an engine is as high as 50 meters and a length of 200 meters! This is a real monster, just during the test. In order to start an engine, it has to equip itself with a small nuclear fission reactor! And the experimental process is not dared to put it on the ground, and it can only be tested in space!

The cost of this engine alone is as high as 50 million imperial coins! This is not a depreciation that was depreciated so much, but a real hard currency imperial coins! Such engines have been installed on the new generation of spacecraft! The full power is turned on, which can provide the spacecraft with an acceleration of 2 meters per second.

Such a spacecraft is close to the limit of the empire. A total of 1,500 latest nuclear fusion reactors are placed inside the spacecraft to provide energy to the spacecraft!

Almost all the wealth that the empire had accumulated was consumed in the construction of spacecraft. But this is inevitable in modern times. Human beings cannot stop their own steps, otherwise a tragic fate will come. Today, many people believe that the universe is also a world under the laws of the jungle. The strong prey on the weak. The strong never give the weak mercy! But after staying in a peaceful environment for a long time, some people still believe that the universe should be full of peace.

In the development of a society, thoughts are the key! Therefore, the empire must unify its thoughts! Only when the thoughts are correct can society move forward rapidly.

"Dongdong..." The ground was rumbled, and the imperial politicians attended one by one. These politicians were mainly new generations, the so-called emperor and ministers. With Zhang Wenliang's abdication, many elderly people have chosen to go home to retire. Anyway, many of them have practiced this year, all of them are old turtle-level. They have been an official for decades, and then they have begun to enjoy life and pursue immortality. They have been involved in politics for decades, and are also very tired.

Zhang Wenfeng sat in the first place, looking at the serious and dangerous officials, nodding with satisfaction. Although the emperor's rights were restricted, the emperor was the emperor, and whether it was Venus or Mars, the rights were all imperial royals. However, for practitioners, the wealth of a planet was nothing, and immortality was the most important. Therefore, the management of the empire, etc. is very relaxed. Although it is an empire, for ordinary citizens, this is a democratic society.

"Good morning everyone."

"Hello, Your Majesty." Among these officials, there are many of Zhang Wenfeng's classmates at that time.

"Ha, don't be so polite. Today we are mainly strengthening our thinking. I know that too many people have opinions and are unsolved about human expeditions, occupation of other planets, and extermination of natives.

I saw that on the Internet, someone said: Is it a pity for us to be so cruel?

Some people also say that if we are so cruel, if we are discovered by the powerful and peaceful civilization in the universe, will it cause devastating blows on us and even erase us from the universe?

Some people even say: Chinese civilization has loved peace since ancient times and is a country of etiquette. We cannot be so barbaric.

I even saw managers on the Internet calling us managers a mess.

Ha, I wonder if you have seen these remarks?”

Although Zhang Wenfeng was smiling on the surface, the cold light in his eyes told everyone present that I was not satisfied!

"Your Majesty, I also think, can we live in peace with these civilizations?" A female official stood up, "I am Li Lize, who is responsible for cultural education.

As we all know, Chinese civilization has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. I have always advocated peaceful coexistence in formulating and reviewing education.

First of all, it is indeed a bit barbaric to take the initiative to attack others, which is contrary to civilization.

Secondly, roughly estimate that there should be more than 900 powerful civilizations in the Milky Way alone. These civilizations have developed for countless thousands of years. If we know that civilizations like our behavior are likely to destroy us. I think no one wants his neighbor to be a cruel murderer!

Third, most people love peace among the people, and people also hope to have a peaceful environment. Such an expedition not only panics ordinary citizens, but also caused great harm to the empire. At that time, the Civilization spacecraft almost exhausted the empire's wealth and even drew away a large number of empire elites. Now, if 500 million people are really taken away, the development of the empire can be at least stagnant for decades!

And I have seen that the empire is now fully capable of transforming planets within the solar system. For example, on Pluto, oh, in the orbit of Pluto, 100 celestial bodies as big as the earth could be placed without conflict. In this place, we can use reflectors to gather sunlight, provide sufficient light for the planet here to accommodate humans.

According to rough estimates, the solar system itself can transform at least tens of thousands of planets, and the sun's light and heat are sufficient. Outer space, such as the Kuiper Belt, the Ort Cloud, etc., has sufficient celestial bodies. There are hundreds of thousands of frozen celestial bodies with a diameter of more than one thousand kilometers.

Therefore, I think. For the time being, human beings should concentrate their efforts to develop themselves, build the solar system into our base camp, into a super civilization, and build ourselves into a powerful and friendly civilization.

My speech is over.”

Zhang Wenfeng looked at Li Lize with a little flickering eyes because what he said makes sense! Although there are some negative thoughts in it, it has to be said that this is indeed the idea of ​​a large number of people. There are too many such people, and such ideas occupy a certain amount of cyberspace, which makes the empire unable to ignore.

This time, the reason why Zhang Wenfeng held this ideological conference was not only because the new official took office was that such ideas had received widespread support in society - ordinary people still like peace after all. They would rather be peaceful than be a person in troubled times! Such ideas have always occupied a mainstream position among ordinary people.

"I have something to say." A man who looks in his thirties stood up. In fact, because of the progress of practice and life technology, you can no longer judge his age from the appearance of human beings.

"I am Wang Hao, deputy director of the General Staff of the Emperor.

I have a few disagreements with Minister Li’s statement.

First of all, I doubt your position as the Minister of Education. People say that history is used as a mirror to guide current development. But why, as the Minister of Education, can you make such remarks? Have you forgotten the history of China?

Since the history of China has been recorded, we have not been a peaceful society! I read the history of China and found that it was a bloody history of war! On average, there is a battle of 100,000 people every three years - this is a war of 100,000 people in ancient times! From the legend of Chinese civilization, we have the battle of Yan and Huang. From the Xia Dynasty, we have the invasion of the Qiang and Rong in the north, and rebellion has been popular since the Zhou Dynasty. The Western Zhou Dynasty was completely a mess. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, we have been fighting and fighting!

The power of the Han Dynasty was exchanged for the blood of soldiers. Zhang Qian went to the West, and only 3,000 people came back to 300,000 people. They used their lives to defend our living space.

Only when the Song Dynasty began to implement the literati system made the Chinese civilization almost cut off. By the Qing Dynasty, there was another "measurement of China's material resources and the joy of the country" that almost caused Chinese civilization to be doomed!

Our ancestors have proved with their blood and life that there is only war between civilizations, no peace. The so-called peace is a stage of mutual temptation and preparation for the final war!

If you don’t agree, you can look at world history!

Looking at the history of all civilizations on earth, whether in ancient times or modern times, a love for peace means weakness and death! Look at the current earth, is peace? Hey! It is said that the earth's government is implementing new policies to eliminate the culture of other races and globalization! Let me tell me, if we like peace, then thousands of years later, will we be conquered by English, Spanish and other languages ​​like the current Africans, and then learn Chinese? It is said that if we don't know Chinese, we can't find a job!

There has never been peace in the world. The so-called peace is a cloak! You, the Minister of Education, actually believe in peace! I don’t know how to evaluate it, but I think you are not suitable for the position of Minister of Education, you are more suitable for the Minister of Civil Affairs! Well, the positions of the two are similar, you can transfer them to them evenly!"

"You..." Li Lize pointed at Wang Hao and couldn't speak.

The development of the empire in 90 years has made society clear. In such an environment, it has led to a trend of "telling the truth" in society. If there is anything you say, it is not to bend around the bush, but it is directly pointed out. Such a trend cannot be seen for the time being, but at present, society is more clear; this is a good phenomenon. Now, this trend has blown into everyone's hearts, and even here, they speak directly. The new generation of these empires has completely different thoughts and behaviors from the former earth.

However, such words are directly and effective without guessing, which will lead to the country and the people being misleading, which is a visible benefit now.

Wang Hao's words were supported by the hardliners. Yes, since ancient times, every time China likes peace, it will be ravaged! On the contrary, the Han and Tang dynasties continued to launch attacks on the outside, and ended up winning praise from foreigners... Although it caused a large number of casualties, in fact, history proved with blood that more deaths caused by weakness! The Song Dynasty was almost killed!

The reality of society constantly tells us that this is the real society. The so-called peace between civilization and civilization is just the "fake skin" that is covered on the surface when it is evenly matched. In fact, under this skin, it is constantly playing! Until one side feels that victory is in sight, it will launch a brazen attack!

"I have something to say," a gray-haired old man raised his hand, "I am Xing Guilin, the Imperial Academy of Space Sciences, the Minister of the Solar System Resources Department.

I would like to say two things about Minister Li Lize’s words.

First, the resources of the solar system are limited after all. According to our current observations, the resources of the solar system can meet the consumption of a trillion people for a thousand years. But what about a thousand years later? Are we waiting to die? Without expansion, the resources of the solar system are not enough to consume. In fact, the solar system looks very large, but in the universe, it is too small.

Second, the sun's light and heat are also limited. 70% of our energy now comes from the sun. Once more planets are built, more sunlight will inevitably be called, leading to disasters of human development. When there is insufficient resources, we cannot guarantee the prosperity of the empire, and resource wars will inevitably occur between the planets!

Not to mention, the sun itself has a lifespan!

My speech is: Go out! This is the inevitable development of mankind! If you don’t want to be extinct, you must exterminate others!

Old man, although I am old, I think there should not be any other life within 20 light years!

20 light years, it's too close. We fire a projectile here, which advances at 0.7 times the speed of light and can reach it in 29 years. And a projectile at 0.7 times the speed of light is enough to penetrate the planet!

We don’t want to wake up one day and find that our planet was actually penetrated!! Volcanoes everywhere and earthquakes!!”

Jing! Xing Guilin's speech made the conference room strangely calm. If Wang Hao was looking back on history, then Xing Guilin was looking forward to the future. The speeches of the two pushed the journey of human civilization to a new peak!

Yes, 20 light years are too short, and now human technology is enough to observe and calculate most of the stars within 20 light years. Similarly, under the attack of super starry cannons, the projectile can completely fly in space without resistance for 29 years, and then break through a planet 20 light years away!

For the first time, people suddenly realized that the vast universe may not necessarily bring effective defense to mankind!

"Papa," Zhang Wenfeng applauded, and then there was a burst of applause.

"Next I announce that the next goal of mankind, Greeser. We will make it a territory of mankind within 20 light years!

In addition, Minister Li Lize, you will immediately be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The former Minister of Civil Affairs was transferred to the Minister of Education. I hope that everyone can lead mankind forward bravely, instead of taking care of their hands and feet!

Our destiny must and can only be controlled by our own hands!”
