The current H1 galaxy is too crowded.
Assuming that a roller base can accommodate 2 million people - this is a new large-scale roller base built after technological upgrades. Its internal usable total area is up to 1,000 square kilometers, and the total human population is 200 billion, plus the people of the Storm Country. About 70 billion, a total population of 270 billion, leaving some margin, about 150,000 are needed.
The size of the human civilization's space force at the moment is about hundreds of army fleets, with a total of about one million battleships.
The rest include space factories, bases, civilian spacecraft, commercial spacecraft, industrial spacecraft, transport spacecraft, scientific research spacecraft, etc., the total number is also in the millions.
A total of several million spacecraft and a population of 270 billion are gathered in this small star system, gathered around four large planets.
Every waterway is full of ships, every port is hard to find berths, and the planet's near-Earth space has even become so tight that you need to queue up.
It is precisely because such a large population and artifacts are gathered in one galaxy that the resources of an entire galaxy can be depleted in just a few hundred years.
Perhaps this is not the normal development of civilization - according to experts from the Academy of Social Sciences, a civilization of this scale should have hundreds of galaxies within its territory. Different galaxies bear different responsibilities, such as resource galaxies and tourist galaxies. , cultural galaxies, political centers, industrial centers, commercial centers, etc. Different galaxies can exchange their needs, coordinate resources, and jointly bear such a large population, which is a normal third-level peak civilization.
If possible, Zhao Changxing would certainly hope it would be like this. But at least now, based on human civilization’s understanding of the universe, this model is absolutely unfeasible.
If scattered, the power will be too weak. Only when we gather together can we be strong. Therefore, we can only maintain the current situation for the time being, stationed in a galaxy together, and wait for certain key resources of this galaxy to be exhausted - there are even many other types of resources, but only certain key resources are exhausted. They had to go through a lot of effort to migrate collectively to another galaxy.
Fortunately, at least human civilization can still migrate, unlike those civilizations in the Iron Blood Nebula, which are still reduced to a state of sustainable development.
After this meeting, the overall development strategy of human civilization began to quietly adjust. Many large-scale construction tasks were temporarily suspended, and more efforts were invested in the reserve of resources and other preparations required for the voyage.
During this migration, people plan to make some adjustments that are different from the past. This adjustment is to no longer directly blow up large space vehicles such as drum bases, space factories, ports, etc., but to find ways to take them away together and bring them to new galaxies.
This large population still needs to hibernate to temporarily freeze their lives. After all, wasting their lives on the voyage is a waste. The roller bases and space factories that need to be taken away will be temporarily sealed during the voyage.
In this case, after arriving in a new galaxy, there is no need to spend a lot of time rebuilding it, and it can be activated directly. This saves a lot of time.
The shift in civilization development strategy was soon reflected in all aspects of life. The most obvious manifestation is that due to the cessation of many new construction projects and the closure of many original projects, a large number of people have lost their jobs and are unemployed. As a result, entertainment, catering, tourism and other industries have also been affected.
This is an unavoidable pain in the process of civilization migration. In this regard, the human civilization government has also formulated relevant policies to compensate, such as providing compensation to people who have lost their jobs due to this, or opening hibernation in advance so that they can enter hibernation earlier than other people to avoid wasting their lives.
The number of spaceships that used to be busy on the route began to slowly decrease. A port that was once hard to find gradually became vacant. Some bases on the edge of the galaxy gradually began to be abandoned. Many factories that roared day and night fell into chaos. In silence.
Many people started to rest early, but many people are still busy, even busier than before.
In Research Room 10621 of the Institute of Astrophysics under the Academy of Human Sciences, researcher Sun Xiaoguang is much busier than before.
"The Ronin Begins with Douluo"
In fact, he is not officially a researcher at this moment. He is still in the internship stage. Only when the research project at hand is completed, enough information collected, the crucial doctoral thesis completed, and the degree obtained can one officially enter the scientific world.
"Migration? Hundreds of years have passed since the migration was completed. This thing has exploded long ago. What else am I studying?"
Looking at the bright X-ray source in the telescope, Sun Xiaoguang gritted his teeth at first, but the next moment he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed devoutly: "No matter where the gods are, please bless me and let this star have another flare soon." Go ahead, get bigger, not smaller... Please, hurry up..."
His target is a giant star that is at the end of its life and is about to explode as a supernova.
With the scientific level of human civilization today, it is possible to predict the time when a star will explode as a supernova with considerable accuracy. Previous model predictions showed that this star has a 99.95% probability of ejecting most of its material in a heroic explosion in no more than 30 years, and its core will melt. Make a neutron star.
Being able to improve the prediction period to an accuracy of 30 years is a very remarkable achievement. You know, just a few hundred years ago, people predicted when a star would explode, and the time span was measured in tens of thousands of years.
The thesis that Sun Xiaoguang wants to complete is about the changes in the internal structure of giant stars at the end of their lives, just before their supernova explosions. The flare burst can better display some of its internal subtle structures, allowing him to collect more data.
Obviously, as a trainee researcher, he could not complete such a large project independently. In fact, he was just one of a dozen people on the project team. But even so, once the research is completed, the data will be enough to support him in completing a high-quality doctoral thesis.
The days passed quietly amidst Sun Xiaoguang's day and night expectations. Today, I don’t know which god was touched by his prayers. The telescope finally observed a violent flare explosion from the star. The endless flow of charged particles and stellar matter were thrown into the sky with this explosion. in the universe.
"pretty!"
Sun Xiaoguang couldn't help but cheered and immediately began to collect and organize data.
This increased the completion rate of his thesis from less than 50% to as high as 80%.
"Just one more time, one more time is enough... According to the rules, the probability of another outbreak within two months is as high as 99.993%. It is basically a certainty. Well, first make an appointment with the professor for the defense. After that , it’s time to submit your resume to other research institutes. Oh, yes, there is still some time in between, so I should tell my parents that while there are fewer people, I can go on a trip..."
In a moment of leisure between the busy work, Sun Xiaoguang couldn't help but start to look forward to it and plan the arrangements after the completion of this project.
"Hey, Xiaoguang, I made an appointment with your mother to get a tour pass for the 'Time and Space Paradise' in two months. I'm going to play for a month. Are you free? Can you go?"
Time and Space Paradise is the most famous amusement park in human civilization. In the past, the queue stretched back years. That is to say, there are fewer people now, so we only have to wait in line for two months.
Sun Xiaoguang perked up and said, "That's just right. My research can be completed within two months. Make an appointment with me as well."
"Really? If you can't go then, it will be a waste of money."
"Don't worry, it will definitely be completed. As long as there is another flare... the probability is as high as 99.993%... it will definitely..."
Sun Xiaoguang tried his best to assure his parents of his itinerary. But when the parents listened, they began to hesitate.
"Who can say the best about things like star explosions? Why don't I just not date you now? I'll date you later when you have time."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely possible!"
"It's still not safe..."
"Unless someone steals this star!" Sun Xiaoguang said anxiously with a pale face: "Don't worry, it will definitely work!"
"That...okay then."
The parents were finally convinced by Sun Xiaoguang. And Sun Xiaoguang started waiting again.
Five years of internship and exhaustive research day and night will finally bear fruit soon. Recalling the efforts he had put into this research project during this period, he even felt as if he was in another world.
"It's finally over... After I get the title of doctor, a beautiful life will begin..."
On this day, he came to the research institute still full of longing and excitement. But for some reason, not long after he started working, the data on the display screen suddenly became blank.
"The target has been lost. What's going on? Is there a disturbance?"
Occasionally, the observation target may be lost due to shaking of the spacecraft, etc. This is normal.
But this time, it seems different.
Because the coordinate data is completely correct.
An ominous premonition arose in my heart. He hurriedly began to search for the target through other observation methods, but he never found the target.
A good star was there originally, but now it is gone.
It just disappeared out of thin air, as if it had been stolen.
At this moment, there were hurried footsteps, loud inquiries, and the angry roar of the instructor everywhere.
"Can't find target!"
"How could a star disappear?"
"It's really gone!"
"Oh my god..."
Sun Xiaoguang sat numbly in his seat, feeling that his head was blank and all thoughts were lost. (To be continued)
