Chapter 620: Searching for a Second Home
There are only a little over one million Naga people left on the Purple Moon colony ship. Even if the next journey is safe and smooth, and all members can reach their second home, it is difficult for the tribe to expand and grow with the extremely low fertility rate. This is already a major event involving the continuation of the race. The captain immediately summoned biological and medical experts to discuss how to solve the problem of reduced fertility. In the end, they decided to start from two aspects. One is to study artificial insemination and non-maternal cultivation of Naga babies. The other is to add some gene modifications related to promoting desire and increasing pregnancy rate to the next generation of life-extending drugs to ensure the continuation of the race.
At the end of the 14th captain's reign, the Purple Moon encountered a devastating crisis. During the flight, they mistakenly entered the accretion area of a black hole and almost destroyed the ship and killed everyone. If you encounter a black hole inside a cantilever with dense stellar nebulae, even if the black hole itself is invisible, there will be a huge accretion disk around it, which can be seen from a few light years away. As long as the captain is not stupid, he will avoid it in advance. But they are now in the endless void between the two cantilevers, and the surrounding matter is very thin. Even if a black hole with infinite gravity appears here inexplicably, it is difficult to capture enough matter to form an accretion disk. In this way, the black hole is completely hidden in the endless void. The Purple Moon flew very close to the black hole, and the instruments detected abnormal changes in the surrounding gravity, and then they noticed the existence of the black hole. At this time, it was too late. The black hole is notoriously strong in gravity. There is no way out. The Purple Moon has entered the strong gravity range of the black hole. It is very difficult to get out of the predicament. In order to cope with the crisis, the captain ordered a large amount of material reserves to be abandoned, most of the heavy equipment was thrown away, and the weight was reduced to the extreme. Then the engine was fully fired, and even the main gun of the spacecraft was turned on, continuously firing towards the stern to provide maximum thrust. Only in this way did he barely get rid of the huge gravitational force of the black hole and escape the crisis of extinction.
After the black hole crisis, new problems were put in front of them. In order to reduce the mass of the spacecraft and get rid of the gravity of the black hole, too many reserve materials and equipment were thrown away, so that it was difficult to maintain the survival of the current awake people. Moreover, the road ahead was long. Without those reserve materials, how the Purple Moon could persist became a problem. In desperation, the captain ordered most of the awake people to enter cryogenic hibernation to reduce material consumption. Only a few dozen people were retained to maintain the normal operation of the Purple Moon. In addition, the power supply and air circulation in most areas were shut down to reduce power consumption, so as to ensure that the reserve energy in the artificial black hole could support the Purple Moon to run further.
Perhaps the Naga people were not destined to die. Just two months after the Purple Moon survived the black hole crisis, the detector discovered a stream of stars that led to an unknown destination in the void ahead, millions of kilometers away. According to the information the Naga people have, star streams generally exist between two adjacent galaxies and are channels for the exchange of matter between stars. Now the star stream has appeared in an endless void with extremely scarce matter, which is really strange. The remaining dozens of sober Naga people gathered together and analyzed it over and over again, and they could only guess that the appearance of this star stream was probably related to the black hole not far away that almost swallowed them. Only a celestial body like a black hole with infinite gravity and infinite mass can create a star stream that spans thousands or even tens of thousands of light years.
The next thing to discuss is whether to take the risk of entering this star stream channel. This is related to the survival of the Purple Moon and the continuation of the Naga race, and must be treated with caution. The tribesmen who oppose entering the star stream said that this star stream channel is hidden in the depths of the endless void and must have been used by no one. There is a high probability that there are a large number of meteorites that have not been cleared inside the channel. If the Purple Moon rashly enters it, there will be a great hidden danger. If it hits some large or fast meteorites, the consequences will be disastrous, and it is not impossible to disintegrate on the spot. Besides, this star stream is likely to be born under the influence of a black hole, and it is not known where it leads. The Purple Moon took a huge risk to enter it, flew for decades, and found that it had entered the accretion range of another black hole after coming out, or returned to the third cantilever area again. Isn't it too tragic? The tribesmen who support entering the star stream said that with the remaining material reserves on the Purple Moon, it would not last long. It is basically a dream to rely on the original speed to cross the remaining endless void and reach the second cantilever with dense stars. Rather than wasting time in the endless void and slowly waiting for death, it is better to enter the star stream and give it a try. If successful, they can escape to heaven, the Purple Moon can obtain supplies and continue sailing, and the Naga race can also continue. Even if they fail, they will only die a few decades earlier, which is not a pity.
The two sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly. In the end, the captain made the final decision to enter the Star Stream Channel to fight for a future for millions of people. With the decision, the Purple Moon immediately adjusted its course and flew towards the entrance of the Star Stream. Ten days later, the Purple Moon arrived in front of the Star Stream entrance, reduced the engine power, and sent all the saved electricity to the shield generator at the bow. The force field shield was turned to the strongest state, and it plunged into the Star Stream Channel. In the Star Stream Channel, it is impossible to observe the outside world, it is impossible to locate in space, and even the passage of time will be disturbed. The captain and the sober crew felt that they had spent decades, but the timer on the spacecraft told them that less than ten years had passed. During this period, the Purple Moon experienced several violent oscillations. It was obvious that it hit the meteorites that already existed in the channel. Fortunately, the force field shield of the Purple Moon was strong enough to withstand the test. The hull only had a slight oscillation and was not substantially damaged.
Twelve years later, the Purple Moon flew out from the other end of the star stream. The captain who had been guarding the bridge discovered this at the first time. He immediately turned on the detector, scanned the surrounding starry sky, and located it. The results showed that this was a completely unfamiliar star field, which seemed to be at the edge of a star-dense area, because behind the Purple Moon was an endless void. There were only some stars that were relatively close in front of it flashing. Using several known pulsars for preliminary positioning, the Purple Moon was currently located at the edge of the second cantilever of the Milky Way. It turned out that the captain's bet was right, and the exit of the star stream channel was really in the second cantilever. They spent ten years crossing a distance of thousands of light years, which not only saved a lot of time, but also solved the shortage of materials. Because millions of kilometers ahead of them, there was a small galaxy formed by a red dwarf star, with only four large planets, two gas planets, two rocky planets, and no habitable planets, but it was enough to collect minerals and replenish the material reserves of the Purple Moon.
That night, the captain and dozens of sober crew members held a grand celebration ceremony, singing and dancing, eating and drinking, and letting off some steam. In the past ten years of sailing in the Star Stream Channel, the captain and dozens of other crew members had been under too much pressure. They were worried every day, fearing that the Purple Moon would hit a meteorite or plunge into the next black hole, destroying the ship and killing everyone, and the entire army would be wiped out, and the Naga people's heritage would be cut off. Now that they have finally escaped the crisis and successfully reached the second cantilever, it is indeed worth celebrating.
Over the next ten days, a large number of Naga people were awakened, and the few remaining reserve materials on the Purple Moon were taken out and put into the factory to produce a large amount of food, aircraft and mining equipment, in preparation for landing on the planet ahead and conducting mining operations. Half a month later, the Purple Moon approached a rocky planet at the outermost edge of the galaxy ahead, actively slowed down, and cut into the planet's orbit. Then the channel below the Purple Moon opened, and hundreds of mining aircraft flew out of the channel and fell to the surface of the planet.
For the next three years, the Purple Moon remained in this small galaxy to conduct mining operations. The warehouses that had been vacant for a long time were refilled with various reserve materials, and all factories were fully started and continued to produce day and night. All the equipment that was thrown away when dealing with the black hole crisis was replaced. Some aging and degraded equipment was also replaced.
Three years later, the newly repaired Purple Moon left the Red Dwarf Galaxy in a fully loaded state and set out on a journey again. This time their goal was no longer to escape the Zerg's pursuit or to cross the endless void, but to find a planet suitable for the Naga people to survive and open up their second home. This time they were sailing inside the star-dense Second Arm (Orion Arm), where they could use the star streams between galaxies to accelerate, and the flight speed would be much faster. It was believed that it would not take long to find an ideal habitable planet and develop it into the second home of the Naga people.
Unfortunately, the Naga people seriously underestimated the difficulty of finding a second home. The Purple Moon traveled through countless star systems and searched countless planets. Either there was not enough water, or there was no magnetic field, or the temperature was not right, or the air composition was not right, or there were strong native creatures that were not suitable for the Naga people to survive. Anyway, no planet was satisfactory to the Naga people. In five hundred years, the Purple Moon traveled hundreds of light years, visited hundreds of star systems, and thousands of planets, but never found a suitable second home. The fourteenth captain could not survive the passage of time and died on the way to find a second home. Before he died, he did not have time to appoint the next captain.
During this special period of disappointment and hope, Didirul Morgan was elected by the crew to become the fifteenth captain of the Purple Moon, leading everyone to continue searching for a planet suitable for the Naga people to survive. Didirul Morgan was a new generation of Naga born on the way to escape. He was born on the spaceship and had long been adapted to the life of spaceship travel. He had no obsession with his mother planet, and his requirements for his second home were also reduced a lot. From ensuring a comfortable life for the Naga people, it was reduced to being able to meet the survival needs of the Naga people, even if the conditions were a little worse, it didn't matter, just settle down first. The Purple Moon had been flying in the universe for too long, and the body equipment had long been aging. Even if the crew was very careful in maintenance, it was useless. Didirul Morgan was really worried that one day when he woke up, the Purple Moon would be completely broken. If it broke down near a planet, it would be okay, and he could collect supplies nearby and repair it. At worst, the tribe could escape to the planet, build a survival base, and continue to survive. The fear is that the Purple Moon will break down in the star stream channel, or in the void outside the galaxy, with no village in sight and no shop behind, and the spacecraft cannot be repaired. All that awaits the Naga people is a slow drift until the last member dies.
After Didiruel Morgan took office, he actively repaired and maintained the Purple Moon while continuing to travel between galaxies to find planets suitable for the Naga people to survive. It was not until a hundred years later that they finally made a breakthrough. A Naga tribe member discovered a planet suspected of having liquid water and even carbon-based life a few light years ahead through an astronomical telescope. When the Naga tribe saw the planet emitting a blue halo a few light years away through holographic projection, everyone was excited. They took the Purple Moon colonization spacecraft to escape from their home planet, spent thousands of years crossing the endless void, reached the second cantilever, and searched for their second home for hundreds of years, and finally saw the dawn at this time. That touch of blue, in the eyes of the Naga tribe, is so vivid, so dreamy, and so touching. That touch of blue represents a large range of liquid water, represents the flash of life, and represents the hope of the Naga tribe. Seeing this blue planet, the Naga tribe knew that their thousands of years of hard pursuit had finally paid off. They were very excited and could not wait to find this dream place. Seeing this, I think readers have guessed that the blue planet that the Naga people saw through the astronomical telescope was the Earth ten thousand years ago.
Didirul Morgan immediately gave the order to turn on the Star Stream Channel scanner to find the fastest route to the target planet. After thousands of years of sailing and hundreds of years of searching for a second home, the crew has accumulated rich experience in finding the Star Stream Channel. Just half a month later, they stepped into the Star Stream Channel heading to the solar system. Perhaps it was carelessness or mistakes made in a hurry, the crew forgot to check the status of the spacecraft before entering the Star Stream. The Purple Moon had just entered the Star Stream Channel for two days when the force field shield generator malfunctioned. The shield value fluctuated, like the indicator light of some equipment, constantly flashing. The shield generator was on the verge of damage, and struggled for another two days before it completely failed. The Purple Moon was traveling at high speed in the Star Stream Channel, and suddenly it lost the protection of the force field shield, and the danger increased greatly. At this time, any meteorite that hit it could cause serious damage to the Purple Moon. (End of this chapter)
