"In order to escape the Zerg's pursuit and interception, the Purple Moon spacecraft had no choice but to enter the endless void between the third cantilever and the second cantilever. This place is vast and boundless, with very little matter, and is a real forbidden zone for life. If we only rely on the Purple Moon's maximum sailing speed of one-quarter of the speed of light, it will take us at least tens of thousands of years to cross the endless void and reach the star-dense area of ​​the second cantilever. I guess I won't see that day in my lifetime. Of course, there is always a way out. If we can find a star stream that crosses the third cantilever and the second cantilever in the endless void, we can greatly speed up this process. I hope our luck won't be that bad."

"On the tenth day after entering the Endless Void, after confirming that it was safe, we called all the Nagas on the Purple Moon and held a meeting. At the meeting, we decided to abandon the Imperial Calendar that had been used for more than 5000 years and use the new Starfall Calendar. The day when the mother planet fell was designated as the first year of the Starfall Calendar to remind future generations not to forget our Naga home planet and the deep hatred with the Zerg. The second resolution was to start a cryogenic hibernation plan for all personnel in order to save limited supplies. Except for a small number of pilots and spacecraft maintenance personnel, all others entered cryogenic hibernation. With our mature cryogenic hibernation technology, as long as there is sufficient energy, we can at least extend the lifespan of our people for more than years."

"Okay, that's all for the past. Next is the main text of the diary. All dates are recorded using the Star Meteoric Calendar."

After reading the history of the war between the Naga and the Zerg recorded by the first captain on the title page, Qiao Ruida felt quite heavy. A huge alien empire with a large population, advanced technology, profound cultural heritage, and spanning a star field of nearly 100 light years was destroyed in just two thousand years under the attack of the Zerg. All the colonized planets and the mother planet were lost, the fleet and the population were wiped out, and only a small number of Naga people were left, fleeing far away and lingering. How cruel and tragic this is, is this the nature of the universe, naked law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and the weak don't even have a chance to survive.

Even the Naga civilization, with a population of hundreds of billions, hundreds of thousands of warships, a territory spanning hundreds of light years, and countless colonized planets, was almost completely destroyed by the Zerg. So what about the human civilization that has just tried to leave the earth? I am afraid it is not even as good as a baby who has just learned to walk. Not to mention encountering a large army of Zerg, even a few of the lowest-level fighting Zerg can destroy all the weapons on the earth.

I just hope that the Zerg will be satisfied with the fourth and third arms of the Milky Way as their territory and stop expanding. At least don't invade the second arm where the solar system is located for ten thousand years. Humanity still has hope of growing and rising rapidly.

In addition to the threat from the Zerg, Qiao Ruida also noticed a word that appeared many times in this article, that is, "star stream". Even in its heyday, the Naga civilization did not master the technology of superluminal flight, but the territory of the Naga Empire spanned hundreds of light years and controlled countless colonized planets, relying on this star stream. Combined with the context analysis, this star stream is likely to be a naturally formed fast material exchange channel between two adjacent galaxies. Once warships and spacecraft enter it, their flight speed can exceed the speed of light, and even travel at several or dozens of times the speed of light, completing cross-galaxy navigation in a short time.

There are natural and artificial star streams. The Naga people only mastered the technology of using natural star streams to quickly travel between galaxies. The Zerg went a step further. Not only did they use naturally formed star streams to quickly advance the front line, they also mastered the method of creating temporary star streams. As long as a certain price is paid, a temporary star stream channel can be built between two coordinate points that are several or even dozens of light years apart, allowing the Zerg army to cross the vast interstellar distance, advance in leaps and bounds, penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland, and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. With the help of temporary star streams, the Zerg even have the ability to cross the endless void between the cantilevers in a short period of time, depending on whether they want to.

Qiao Ruida is more curious about whether this star stream is a natural phenomenon unique to the third and fourth arms of the Milky Way, or whether it is something that exists universally between two adjacent galaxies in the entire universe. If it exists universally, then where is the star stream between the solar system and the surrounding galaxies? Did the small flying stick alien probe (Oumuamua) discovered some time ago enter the solar system in just a few thousand years with the help of star streams? If the alien civilization hidden behind the small flying stick really mastered the technology of star stream detection and star stream navigation, then the situation of human beings on Earth is really dangerous, and we must prepare for a rainy day and make plans early.

These questions may be answered in the subsequent Captain's Diary. Qiao Ruida stretched out his finger and turned to the next page of the Captain's Diary.
"September 3, Year 1 of the Falling Star Calendar

The general meeting was very successful. Most of the young people and children entered the hibernation chamber and were put into cryogenic hibernation. It would be at least a thousand years before they woke up again. The Purple Moon was a standard colonial spaceship developed by the Empire, with a standard passenger capacity of only 10 people. But when the Purple Moon left its home planet, the situation was urgent, and the entire spaceship was stuffed with millions of compatriots. This caused a very embarrassing situation. The supplies and public facilities stored on the Purple Moon, including the hibernation chambers, were not enough for so many people. Although the hibernation chamber production factory on the spacecraft has been fully operational and is fully committed to producing cryogenic hibernation chambers, there are still a large number of tribesmen who do not have hibernation chambers and cannot enter hibernation in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the food synthesis factory on the Purple Moon is quite large, and there is no shortage of raw materials and energy for synthesizing food, so everyone will not starve. Knowing that the number of hibernation chambers is limited, most of the elderly people took the initiative to give up the opportunity to enter the hibernation chamber and cryo-hibernate, and gave the limited hibernation quota to young people and children. In the words of these elderly people, they are old and have lost their fertility. The remaining vitality is limited. Even if they are in cryo-hibernation, it is difficult to survive until the day when the Purple Moon crosses the endless void and reaches the second cantilever. Instead of wasting a precious cryo-hibernation quota, it is better to give this opportunity to young people. Only they have the possibility of crossing the endless void and continuing the Naga race.

I admire these wise old people and try my best to create a comfortable living environment for them so that they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives."

……

"May 23, 8rd year of the Starfall Calendar

After more than 90 years of continuous production, the number of hibernation chambers finally reached the requirement, and more than % of the population on the ship entered a hibernation state. Only some spacecraft pilots, spacecraft maintenance personnel, and some elderly people who were too old to be suitable for cryostasis remained awake. Thanks to this, the consumption of reserve materials was greatly reduced, and the Purple Moon would not have any problem supporting it for another few thousand years.

In recent years, the Purple Moon has been traveling at high speed in the endless void, passing through two thin nebula zones. We opened the interstellar matter capture net and captured some ice crystals and interstellar dust. After melting and purifying, the ice crystals are a valuable source of water, and interstellar dust can be used to extract minerals. The remaining residue can also be thrown into a small artificial black hole to generate electricity.

Life on the spaceship is too boring. Once the route is set, it won't move for months or even years. As the captain, I have a lot of free time and nothing to do. I have already watched the TV series and movies brought from the mother planet several times, so I can only rely on reading to pass the time. "

……

"In the 42nd year of the Starfall Calendar, on September 9, several elderly people on the spacecraft passed away. They did not die of illness, but of old age, the degradation of vital functions, and natural death. As the captain, I personally presided over their funerals, then cremated their bodies, packed their ashes into boxes, and planned to take them to their new home for burial.

Today, a vicious murder case occurred on the spacecraft. A young man in charge of spacecraft maintenance had a conflict with two elderly people and drew his gun in anger, resulting in one death and one injury, which had a very bad impact. The cause of the incident was just a few words between the two parties over seats while eating in the cafeteria. In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. In order to warn future generations and prevent similar vicious cases from happening again, after a brief trial by the temporary court, the young man who killed the murderer was sentenced to death.

Through observations over the past few days, I have also discovered that those young people who are not in hibernation have too little work and too much free time. There are also insufficient entertainment facilities on the spacecraft, so these people have nothing to do all day long, their tempers are getting worse, and fights are happening more and more frequently, with casualties occurring more than once. In order to solve this problem, I think we should find something for these young people to do. If they have endless work every day, they will have no time to think about random things and cause trouble everywhere.

Therefore, I initiated the first comprehensive overhaul of the Purple Moon, mobilizing all sober young people and old people who still had strength to conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the entire spacecraft and all equipment and facilities. The road ahead is long and full of dangers. The Purple Moon must be kept in good condition to cope with various crises and lead the people to their new home. "

"May 102, 3rd year of the Starfall Calendar

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. I have also gone from a middle-aged man to an old man. My energy is not as good as before. I have forgotten many old memories and many old friends from the imperial era. In the past hundred years, the old people who initially gave up their hibernation rights have all died. The young people on duty have been replaced, and the original ones have entered a hibernation state. Only I, as the captain, need to handle daily affairs and maintain the navigation status of the spacecraft, and cannot hibernate.

Today, the guy who is in charge of monitoring the space telescope brought me some good news. A rogue planet was discovered about 80 million kilometers away to the left and front of the spacecraft. Further observation revealed that there is a large amount of water ice on this rogue planet.

Wandering planets, also known as interstellar planets or orphan planets, are planets that do not orbit any star. They wander aimlessly in the universe, like wanderers. In dense areas such as the core of a galaxy or the interior of a spiral arm, the possibility of producing wandering planets is relatively high. But it is very rare to find a wandering planet in the endless void between two spiral arms. What's more, there is a high probability that there is precious water ice on this wandering star, which is simply the greatest gift from God to the Purple Moon.

The only problem was that the speed of this wandering planet was not much slower than that of the Purple Moon, and its flying direction was not quite the same as that of the Purple Moon. If the Purple Moon wanted to catch up with this wandering planet, it had to change its direction and catch up at full speed for several years.

Opportunities are rare, and the opportunity to replenish water and supplies in the endless void is too rare. I didn't want to give up after encountering a wandering planet. After reading the wandering planet observation report submitted by my subordinates, I decisively issued an order to change course and pursue the wandering planet. "

……

"May 109, 5rd year of the Starfall Calendar

After seven years of full-speed pursuit, the Purple Moon finally caught up with the wandering planet. After slowing down slightly, it cut into the orbit of the wandering planet and began to fly with the wandering planet. The unmanned probe launched a few days ago has successfully landed on the surface of the wandering planet and sent back first-hand detection information. This wandering planet has a diameter of 4770 kilometers, which is much smaller than our parent planet. The atmosphere of the planet is very thin, and one-third of the surface of the planet is covered with ice crystals. After sampling and analysis, the ice crystals are mainly composed of water and carbon dioxide, and a small amount of methane. The remaining two-thirds of the area is full of mountains and gullies, and the terrain is very undulating, which has caused considerable difficulties for subsequent mining and transport aircraft landing. However, the mineral content of these rocks and soil is very rich, including iron, nickel, titanium, lithium and other metal elements.

After analysis by interstellar mining experts, this wandering planet has great mining value. Whether it is water ice, dry ice, methane, or various metal minerals, they are all the most scarce resources for the Purple Moon. It is worth it for the Purple Moon to fly with the wandering planet for a period of time and conduct comprehensive mining on the planet. So I issued a mining order and decided to wake up one-tenth of the tribe members, mobilize all the interstellar mining equipment in stock, land on the wandering planet, and conduct mining operations. "

"May 114, 11rd year of the Starfall Calendar

After five years of mining, the Purple Moon's reserve warehouse was full again, and the artificial black hole also stored enough material to supply the Purple Moon to complete the feat of crossing the endless void.

Today, our Purple Moon spacecraft ignited its main engine again, accelerated continuously, left the orbit of the wandering planet, adjusted its direction, and once again embarked on a journey across the endless void to the second cantilever. The mining operation has ended, and most of the awakened tribesmen have entered a dormant state again. "(End of this chapter)
