In this variety of exercises that are carried out over many years and are as close to actual combat as possible, a large number of strategic and tactical principles that people have regarded as guidelines in the past have been directly discarded, and a large number of new combat regulations have been supplemented.
With the formation and improvement of strategies and tactics, and with the raging "war" throughout the galaxy, a large amount of resources and wealth flowed like a river. If the gross product of civilization had not reached 60 trillion human coins at this moment, then I am afraid that the government of human civilization would have gone bankrupt long ago.
It is not an exaggeration to say that every mature and competent soldier, every tested combat regulations and skills are accumulated with countless money and wealth.
Time passed slowly under this situation until 1540 in the New Calendar.
At this moment, it has been 400 years since human civilization came to the Lakai 9352 galaxy.
At this moment, human civilization has spent 400 years of peace. The population has expanded from millions to more than 200 million, a complete technological system and military system have been formed, and the level of science and technology has risen to the peak of second-level civilization.
If there are some breakthroughs in basic theories and some gaps that cannot be obtained from the Moyun Litar civilization are filled in, it will be a matter of course to become a third-level civilization and master the large-scale industrial production of antimatter. Like now, we only know it but don't know why. We can only mechanically create antimatter, but we don't know what applications this technology has in other levels.
At this moment, there are only 100 years left before the scheduled time to finally leave this galaxy. Civilization's strategy needs to change again, and it's time to start preparations for a new interstellar voyage that is destined to be a big war and will take a long time.
Prior to this, based on the good momentum of the vigorous development of human civilization, it is not that there were no civilization leaders and a team of scientists who made suggestions to Zhao Changxing, believing that human civilization at this stage has been strictly implementing "environmental protection" policies, and the existence of this place was remotely discovered by super civilizations. The probability of establishing a civilization is not high. Human beings can definitely stay here and develop for another hundred or two hundred years before leaving.
Maybe there will be any major technological breakthroughs during this period of time. However, once they leave this galaxy, most people will fall into hibernation, and scientific development will naturally stop completely.
The number of people who support this idea is not a majority, but it is not a minority either. In response, Zhao Changxing firmly rejected the proposal.
"We cannot pin the fate of civilization on luck. Maybe this time we delayed it for a hundred or two hundred years, and were lucky enough to escape the search of advanced civilizations. Then after this, will there still be people who are lucky? Still hope to extend our stay again? Even if we leave this galaxy, will there be people in the next galaxy who still want to delay?
There is an old saying among people in the Earth Age, that if you often walk along the river, your shoes will not get wet. Once the rules are set, you need to abide by them. Only in this way can you maximize the hope of civilization's survival. "
Zhao Changxing said so.
Zhao Changxing's attitude finally overwhelmed those who wanted to extend their stay. As a result, the civilization strategy once again turned.
——Zhao Changxing knew that even if this incident happened, someone would definitely raise this voice again when faced with the same situation in the future. Because this generation will grow old and die, and for the new generation, this is just history.
No matter which generation, there will always be some people who think that the era they live in is special, and then believe that this special era should have special policies and should be treated specially. But for Zhao Changxing, no era is special.
Therefore, there will always be people who put forward the opinion of delaying departure, and there will always be people who put forward the suggestion of dividing people and sub-people. But it doesn't matter, just suppress it when the time comes.
After this disturbance has passed and the civilization strategy has officially turned, the most intuitive impact for ordinary people is the newly invested and constructed projects in the civilization, such as factories, mining bases, chemical bases, residential bases, etc., of which 90% The above was immediately stopped. The only ones that have not been stopped are all projects related to preparations for interstellar voyages.
In the past hundreds of years, human civilization has been vigorously and unbridledly expanding. Now, the pace of expansion has finally stopped and even begun to shrink.
There are more than 3,000 roller-type space residential bases, and more than 400 of them have been abandoned at this moment. Because there is not enough population to live in them now. A large number of construction forces were idle, and a considerable part of the engineers and technical workers who had adapted to the construction of one factory and then went to another base to build a new factory were directly unemployed.
Because there aren’t many new projects being built anymore.
But their unemployment won't last long. Soon, new tasks assigned by the human civilization government will arrive.
After a period of discussion on this interstellar voyage, people finally set the destination on a star whose mass is almost the same as that of the sun, but has entered the middle-aged stage and has begun the process of evolving into a red giant. Peacock VI .
It has a mass very close to that of the sun, and its radius is 1.22 times that of the sun. Correspondingly, its volume is about 1.8 times that of the sun. It has a relatively large planetary system, including two rocky planets, a gas giant planet, and two gas ice giants, as well as a huge asteroid belt, as well as numerous comets, dwarf planets, and gas and dust surrounding it. It spins.
This star is about 12.2 light-years away from the Lakai 9352 galaxy where human civilization currently resides, and is located in the long-term destination of human civilization - the sparse star zone between the Orion Arm and the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. It is also known The direction of the junction of the two super civilization territories, but in terms of civilization needs and distance, this star system is not the optimal choice.
There are three other candidate galaxies closer to Lakai 9352. One of these has a better environment than Peacock Six.
But Zhao Changxing and the civilization leaders still chose the goal of Peacock Six. The reason is that when choosing a destination star system, you must not choose one whose environment is too suitable for the development of intelligent civilization. That would be too conspicuous and could easily attract attention and expose you. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, human civilization has acquired the ability to travel longer distances. Therefore, it has become inevitable to maximize the distance from the Lakai 9352 galaxy.
The reason is also very simple - Zhao Changxing is worried that the traces of human civilization left in the Lakai 9352 galaxy will be discovered by super civilization sooner or later. At that time, once the super civilization takes this as the center of the circle and searches the surrounding areas, staying farther away from it can increase the probability of survival.
Everything is for a safe survival.
After considering various factors, we finally decided on the destination here.
In terms of long-distance voyage vehicles, it is obvious that a population of 200 million, as well as the materials and energy that support the survival of these 200 million people, cannot be carried by a single Yuan Voyage spacecraft - in these hundreds of years, it has It has been completely repaired using the latest technologies mastered by mankind. Although the performance is not as good as the original, it has been improved compared to when human civilization left the solar system on it.
Out of a population of 200 million, 190 million people are in hibernation. On average, a hibernating cabin occupies a volume of 10 cubic meters, which requires a total volume of 1.9 cubic kilometers.
This number is not large, even if the Yuanhang spacecraft can accommodate 100 1.9 cubic kilometers. But the account cannot be settled this way.
The operation of the hibernation chamber also requires energy supply. 190 million hibernating capsules are not enough to fill the Yuanhang spacecraft with antimatter energy.
A more realistic plan is to build 20 interstellar spacecraft as large as the Voyage spacecraft, disperse the population that needs to hibernate, and the various resources and energy needed, and use different spacecraft to carry them.
If you also take into account the unexpected situations that may be encountered during the voyage, such as the last encounter with the "kinetic energy thief", it is best to double this number - the extra spaceship will not be used except for the necessary spacecraft maintenance personnel. To carry people, all free space is used to load antimatter energy and various resources, such as water, sugar, salt, gold, silver, copper and iron.
At the same time, all the spaceships in the 30 combat spacecraft formations of various levels that human civilization currently possesses need to be taken away.
Regarding the plan to take away these combat spaceships, military experts and spacecraft experts discussed the plan and finally decided on a plan to still rely on the aerospace carrier to pack up and take away the entire combat formation to which they belong.
The main role of the aerospace carrier is to perform battlefield delivery tasks, responsible for delivering combat spacecraft and various logistics facilities, energy and resources, and combat readiness materials to the battlefield. They have strong endurance, but their maneuverability, that is, their acceleration performance, is undoubtedly extremely poor compared to combat spacecraft.
But even so, compared to the Yuanhang spacecraft, which can only accelerate 0.02 meters per square second, it is still too high to know where it is.
Normally, no matter how strong the endurance of an aerospace carrier is and how large its material reserves are, it is impossible to directly deliver combat spacecraft from one star system to another. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is sufficient energy on the 40 Yuan Voyage-like spacecraft. When the time comes, it will be replenished so that it can continue to accelerate.
In this way, the final list of spacecraft that needs to be taken away is 40 giant interstellar spacecraft comparable to the Yuanhang spacecraft, one Yuanhang spacecraft, ten "Everest" class spacecraft, and five "Kunlun" class spacecraft Ships, 15 "Taihang" class space carriers, and a total of 71 large and medium-sized space vehicles.
And...counting the population that needs to be carried, as well as various materials, antimatter energy, vehicle weight, etc., this time, the mass that human civilization needs to take away totals more than 10 trillion tons.
