Chapter 730: Cannonballs Flying for a Hundred Years
The 250 years of the empire are really a good "age"! 250 Venus years have passed, and the development of the human world is beyond imagination. The solar system alone has enough 9 life planets; within 20 light years around the solar system, there are 15 star systems with good natural conditions, and have built planets suitable for human survival; the number of humans has reached 230 billion. At this point, humans have ushered in the first peak period of the starry sky era. Of course, because expansion has temporarily reached a stage limit, many places/planets have begun to introduce relevant measures for family planning!
Since the 160 years of the imperial calendar, human technology has also made rapid progress; space jumps and other things are impossible; but uninterrupted ultra-long-distance communication technology has been complete. In addition, weapons have begun to become rich, and many technologies that only existed in theory back then have matured.
Among the more prominent new weapons are:
Brand new optical magnetobeam laser weapon! This weapon that combines the solar group's optical magnetism technology and human laser technology is very terrifying! Although the speed is only 0.95 times the speed of light due to the blockage of the magnetic field, the energy, temperature, and powerless impact force are enough to break through a standard steel plate with a thickness of 100 meters in an instant; it can be called the number one weapon of mankind.
The second-ranked neutron weapon; this high-speed burst of microscopic particle weapon is as terrifying as the enhanced version of the solar wind; the neutron beam weapon can break the "bond" between atoms, making the strong diamonds turn into fly ash like weathered rocks! And it is nano-level fly ash... If it is not for the high energy consumption and the speed is only 0.9 times the speed of light. The ranking should be above the optical magnetic beam.
The third one is the plasma weapon that humans have always longed for; the power of this weapon lies in the mixed substances of high temperature, high (electrical) voltage and magnetic field; because the "field" energy is exerted to the temporary peak stage, this weapon can both attack in a single body in close attack or attack in a large range. The difference is that because the field energy cannot conduct ultra-long attacks, the effective attack distance is only 100 million kilometers; therefore, it is mainly used as a range attack weapon.
The fourth ranked quantum foam bomb; after so many years of development, the effective attack range of quantum foam bombs has reached tens of thousands of meters, of course, the energy consumption is also high, and the speed is the slowest. For safety reasons, the acceleration alone cannot exceed 10,000 kilometers per second; if the speed exceeds 10,000 kilometers per second, it must be launched on a high-speed moving aircraft. However, the horror of quantum weapons is: within a range of 10,000 kilometers. It is irresistible; a storm from the space level. It can tear any known object (in theory, no explanation).
Compared with the four major weapon systems, electromagnetic rail weapons have certainly been further developed; in addition, human energy shield technology has also made substantial breakthroughs, and can defend against medium-intensity electromagnetic beams, low-level neutron weapons and medium-level plasma weapons. Finally, the rail cannon is still unable to defend. This thing is too rogue - simple and cruel!
Over the years, human theoretical exploration has also achieved extremely high achievements; under the guidance of cosmic information theory, the technological development of human beings is simply cheating... I was wrong, I kept cheating! Those top scientists can get the actions of Zhang Jingyuan and Zhang Dabo to obtain longer life! Of course, this is still very expensive, and Boss Zhang can only do it once a year. But sometimes, there are two concepts: having and not having it; Boss Zhang occasionally "scam" to make the cohesion between the empire and human beings extremely high; for the time being, even if humans scattered to a radius of 20 light-years, the empire is still the hometown in the minds of all human beings.
Of course, over the years, the field of cultivation has also made great progress; the first result of the project that Zhang Jingyuan personally led the team to combine scientific research and practice finally emerged! That is: the technology of combining formations and photoelectrics! The combined chip technology of the year simply used the appearance of formations; but now it is fundamentally combining formations and technology: you see, formations and circuit boards are so similar!
Under the guidance of practice, supercomputers built with top theories such as electrons, photons, quantums, etc. cover an area of ten square kilometers and have become the pinnacle of a human era - computers are the minds that lead the development of science and technology!
Over the years, based on the existing cosmic information theory, humans have gone further and further in the road of theoretical exploration. Of course, with the advanced technology, humans have finally discovered that the universe is full of various signals! In just a few years, three signals have been cracked!
As humans had known before, in the universe, many civilized communication technologies are not simple electromagnetic waves. Some advanced civilizations use them, some even purely fragmented space fluctuations, etc., and even quantum theoretical communications in theory. It was not until this time that humans suddenly realized that they were really dancing on the tip of the needle before! The more common and relatively low-level ones are laser communication and particle communication technologies. Compared with electromagnetic wave technology, these two technologies propagate farther and have a more concentrated amount of information. They are confidential.
But don’t worry too much. Many signals of civilizations here are coming from the inside of the Milky Way! According to the theory, the solar system is located outside the Milky Way, and the energy here is sparse, so it is a miracle to be able to give birth to life. However, in the position inside the Milky Way, the energy is abundant, and life is born even simpler; it is an ideal living environment for life.
But at a more core position, it is not suitable for life, because the energy here is too high and the radiation is too strong. The core of the Milky Way has a core of about 15,000 light-years in diameter. It is flat, small in size, but it accounts for 60% of the mass of the entire Milky Way. Of course, the so-called life here refers to our usual carbon-based life. It is unknown whether there are life forms other than silicon-based life; but we cannot absolutely deny the universe! But now it seems that we have to admit that advanced life is carbon-based life!
The reason why you don’t have to worry is that the universe is too big. From the central location of the Milky Way where life is flourishing to the Earth, it is a distance of 1 to 15,000 light-years! The diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years, which is an extremely terrifying number! The solar system is about 26,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way! This is also not a small number!
Those powerful civilizations are thousands or tens of thousands of light-years away from the earth, and they are so full that they are full. They run to the edge to find trouble for the people on earth... They can't count the planets there and have endless resources, but they don't look down on the lack of resources here. There are only more than 30 star systems around the solar system for 15 light-years; however, within the Milky Way, which is 15 light-years away from the earth, there are hundreds or thousands of star systems within 15 light-years! The resource gap here is really incalculable.
But we cannot relax because of this; most powerful civilizations are located inside the Milky Way, but everything is exceptional! Since there is a civilization like human beings here, why can't there be other civilizations? To be honest, there are many weak civilizations around human beings. Give them time to develop and they are also terrifying opponents.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you worry! Although this starry sky is empty, you can't meet a wise civilization for dozens of light years; but looking at the entire Milky Way, let alone a few dozen light years. Even a civilization is hundreds of light years. The civilization in the Milky Way alone is not a small number.
Don’t forget. In addition to the diameter of 100,000 light-years, the Milky Way is also 12,000 light-years thick! This is a huge celestial body, and with the current technology of human beings, it is still impossible to see the entire Milky Way!
At least, it seems that humans are still safe for the time being. However, if there is no guarantee, there will be no accidents! You must know that this universe is too big, so big that it is beyond our imagination! At least for most people, 1 meter, 10 meters, and 100 meters have a concept in their hearts, but many people will feel strange about distances of more than 10 kilometers: this is just a number! And if it is enlarged to a planet, a star system, etc., many people will say: Oh, I understand! But they actually have no concept in their hearts!
What is a clear concept? It means finding a reference object that is easy to understand intuitively. One meter? The height of the table! 10 meters? The length of the house! 100 meters, the playground! 10 kilometers? It's a bit far... A planet is so big, it's so big...
This is the reference of the concept. It can be seen that small units are easy to understand; but when the order of magnitude reaches a certain level, we will lose the reference object, and the only thing left in our minds will be a number.
It is conceivable that when facing this silver core system, even scientists can only sigh.
But humans still need progress!
Bang bang... This is the Yanhuang Galaxy. After more than a hundred years of development, the two life planets here can no longer meet the needs of the Yanhuang Empire. Two artificial planets have been built here. Thanks to ultra-far communication technology, human technology can be continuously communicated and improved; and in this period of expansion, everyone will not hide too much from each other; every year, everyone conducts scientific and technological seminars through ultra-long-distance communication technology.
Now, the Yanhuang Empire has begun to build four spacecraft at the same time; these spacecraft will continue to expand outward, occupying the surrounding natural life planets, or transforming those planets with good natural conditions. Over the past century of development, the Yanhuang Empire has enough resources to expand!
"Boom..." In space, a huge cosmic machine is working; this is the Aquarius ez star, the current Xuanyuan star, the Xuanyuan Empire! The miraculous world makes this place the greatest treasure land for human cultivation! And now, using the stability of the three stars, multiple life planets are built between the stars at the relative resting points/Lagrangian points. The three stars are not much different, and they are extremely stable. They are a star system that is even better than the solar system!
After the crazy expansion in the early stage, human beings are now consolidating their achievements and entering the stage of "sublimation" and "qualitative change"!
……………………………………………………
And as human beings develop, the rest of the civilizations in the universe are also active.
This is a chaotic world. For some reason, it has formed a star cluster even though it is far away from the center of the Milky Way! In less than 40 light years, there are more than 6,000 star systems. The stars here are big and small, but all stars are not over 5 billion years old (well, the universe is very complex, the author's lazy egg directly borrows the Earth's chronology method)! Such dense stars also make the intelligent races here bloom everywhere, powerful civilizations occupy hundreds of planets, and weak civilizations can only serve as vassals!
Such a strange phenomenon is being studied even by various local civilizations; however, the results of the research make all civilizations afraid. At the center of gravity of this small local cluster, there is an unknown and undetectable celestial body! Smart people should have guessed it, right, it is a black hole!
Modern scientific theory believes that the center of gravity of the Milky Way is a super-large black hole with a mass of three million times more than the solar system; but the diameter is very small, and it may not be as big as the moon. Some people say that it has become a singularity, very small! But if the Milky Way wants to maintain enough gravity, not to mention that the core of the silver core is 3 million solar system, even 30 million are not enough! So, why is the Milky Way so huge but so stable? Then, there must be more small and unobservable black holes "maintain stability"! It is estimated that about 3,000 black holes inside the Milky Way are accomplices! Of course, after calculations, cautious scientists have found that black holes are not enough, and there must be dark matter, dark energy, etc.
All civilizations here believe that the wonders here may be attracted by black holes. This also leads to the inexplicable sense of urgency and danger; they are always thinking about the dangers from black holes. Of course, like the people on earth, most of these research tasks are "worrying about nothing". For ordinary people, these things are still far away. After all, this local small star cluster has existed for billions of years, and may exist for billions of years in the future!
Now, there are two unique-shaped spacecraft swimming proudly in space. No, they are running for life! The spacecraft is flat, slender, and fast, and they cannot see the tail of Earth technology; the spacecraft that is swaying gently, and will continue to accelerate - like a swimming fish in a universe; it can be seen that it should be a top power technology similar to an anti-gravity engine that acts directly on space.
Lieyan Ming Hongyuan has a gloomy face. He is already past middle-aged, but he is the best officer of the Lieyan family. The Lieyan family is one of the top families in the Holy Yang Empire, "Ming" is the family title. Now, the top Lieyan family is actually targeted by interstellar robbers! The other party clearly knows the horror of the Lieyan family, but he still takes action! The princess of the Lieyan family on the spaceship Lieyan Ming Shuguang has a calm expression and no panic can be seen; as a princess of a top family, Princess Shuguang's performance is undoubtedly quite a model.
However, this time the other party's target seems to be Princess Dawn! Princess Dawn, this time, represents the marriage of the eldest prince of the Dawn Empire 2.5 light years away; from then on, the two empires will advance and retreat together - obviously, other civilizations do not want to see such a situation.
"Boom!" The spaceship behind was hit by an attack from unknown where it flew, and its tail was blown up dozens of meters at once; but the spaceship was still moving forward, but the acceleration was slower.
"Bastard! Such powerful attack power is not a star pirate at all, but a privateer!!! Don't let me escape, otherwise you will definitely look good." Hongyuan's face was almost ferocious; the attack just now almost made Hongyuan, who saw hope of running away, despair again! This is not those "wild" star pirates at all! But the privateer group with the support of the empire behind it - to be precise, they are regular troops that are shameless! The privateer group is an alternative war under the table! You don't even know which country was under the shadow of the flames family! And the 30 powerful frigates of the Flame Family have already sacrificed their lives!
Here, this strange civilization land, within 40 light years, is unknown for some reason, which makes the life structure here surprisingly similar; so that although there are hundreds of civilizations here, everyone looks very similar on the outside and can actually marry each other - just like the earth back then. The powerful technological power, even if the genes are slightly different, can reproduce through genetic adjustment.
"Boom!" The spaceship in front, that is, the flagship, did not escape the fate of shelling, and the tail part was accurately hit. The spaceship in the Holy Sun Empire had a small engine on the tail part, but this engine was a key technology, which allowed the spaceship to capture the illusory "space" itself and then accelerate the spaceship. Now, the tail was knocked off, allowing the spaceship to only simply and normally accelerate, and was soon stopped by thirteen spaceships with a length of at least 100 meters and a maximum of nearly kilometers!
All the spaceships were covered with a "devil claw" with fangs and claws!
"It's the infamous Claw Star Pirate Group!!!" At that moment, the outstanding officers of the Lieyan family, Lieyan Ming and Hongyuan were almost desperate. (To be continued...)
ps: I was speechless today when I subscribed to a masterpiece by a masterpiece; in the end, I actually had a "ps" to supplement the insufficient number of words in the chapter. Instead of putting in the chapter comments - the word count is not calculated here.
Chapter completed!
