The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 162 161. Earth-like Planets
[On September 2071, 9 in the Wandering Calendar, three months had passed since the Human Exploration Ship set sail.

More than two months ago, the spacecraft entered the "superluminal cruise" state.

After that, the stars, planets and celestial bodies in the universe could no longer be seen through the observation cabin.

All I could see was a series of blurry, distorted lines of light.

I am not a scholar specializing in aerospace, but from the feedback given to me by my colleagues from the United Government on the spacecraft, it seems that our spacecraft has long left the scope of the solar system.

10.5 light years. For the sake of the Supreme God, even if the United Government possesses the "superluminal space travel" technology of Cybertron civilization, this journey will still take several years.

Sam from the spacecraft operations department told me that in fact, when the spacecraft is moving at full speed, it can travel a distance of 1 light years in one Earth year.

Taking into account the problem of "solar helium flash", the journey was shortened to four years and two months.

Putting aside these headaches in aerospace and spacecraft operations.

I also discovered something interesting.

Among the scientific expedition teams arranged by the United Government, only half of them are truly engaged in technology, science, and engineering theory.

Spacecraft operation and maintenance department, medical logistics department, engineering support department, and astronomical and meteorological observation department.

The number of people in the security department is greater than the total number of people in all these departments combined.

It is difficult to imagine the mental state of the top leaders of the coalition government. Do they have some kind of "paranoia"?

In addition to a security force of up to 500 people, there are also various military aerospace vehicles and military combat equipment.

To be honest, this makes me a little anxious.

Who would want to travel 10.5 light years to the other side of the universe to start a war with another galaxy where life might exist?

But the good news is that Marvin from the Astronomical Observation Department told me not to worry.

At least according to the intelligence the United Government has, there should be no planets with life in the Tianyuan Tetrastar System.

The human mind is sometimes so contradictory.

After hearing what Marvin said, I was actually a little disappointed.

I am the leader of the 'Genetic Life Observation' group of the Engineering Support Department.

If this trip fails to discover any signs of extraterrestrial life, it will be meaningless for our team.

Anyway, these are some of my complaints before entering the 'life chamber'.

The next time I wake up should be four Earth years later.

Anyway, wish us good luck! 】

Dr. Ashford entered the last character on his personal dashboard and clicked Save.

Then, under the guidance of the artificial intelligence in the headphones, he rushed towards the "life support system cabin".

The expected four-year interstellar voyage is boring and long even for the "blessed humans" with an average lifespan of over 150.

A total of 1086 citizens of the United Government were selected to join the scientific expedition.

The entire "Human Exploration" spacecraft is highly automated and can achieve autonomous driving under the control of the artificial intelligence MOSS.

During most of the journey, only a single digit number of spacecraft operation and maintenance personnel are needed to be on duty to deal with emergencies.

Therefore, most of the humans on the spacecraft can enter the "life support cabin" and enter deep hibernation for up to several years.

As a silicon-based mechanical life form, Optimus Prime can keep running throughout the journey without getting tired or having to rest.

In addition to his identity as "God's Chosen One", he was appointed by the United Government as the deputy captain of the "Human Exploration" and concurrently the head of the spacecraft's security department.

Ma Zhao of the CN branch of the United Government was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this operation and also served as the captain of the "Human Exploration".

In addition, there are the spacecraft operation and maintenance department, medical logistics department, engineering support department, astronomical and meteorological observation department...

Almost all of the key positions in these operations are held by citizens of the member countries of the various branches of the United Government Source Plane.

The security department is filled with citizens of the United Government who come from other dimensions.

This kind of personnel division always seems to have a sense of "discrimination".

But the coalition government is also helpless.

In order to ensure the "political correctness" of the "community with a shared future for mankind", the sources of the spacecraft crew must be "equally distributed" to ensure the participation of members from all dimensions.

When it comes to professional science and engineering knowledge, the citizens of the source plane who were the first to receive the [Blessing of Popular Election] obviously have more advantages than the natives of the other planes.

Under the circumstance of "selecting the best from the best", it is natural that professional departments such as science and engineering are filled with citizens from the source plane.

In comparison, it would be much simpler to select 500 security personnel who have experienced the test of war and received the blessing of [popular election] from the indigenous people of the other dimension.

In fact, the armed forces of the "Human Exploration" spacecraft are not low at all.

In addition, there is Optimus Prime, the most powerful "chosen warrior" in the history of the United Government.

The coalition government has no concerns at all at the military level.

As the "Human Exploration" spacecraft moved farther and farther away from the solar system and officially entered the "superluminal cruise state", communications with the United Government on its home planet Earth were officially interrupted.

1086 crew members entered the life support chamber in batches for deep hibernation.

After sailing like this for four years, in the year 2075 of the Wandering Calendar, the artificial intelligence program finally woke up all the crew members from their hibernation chambers.

[The spacecraft has entered the Tianyuan Four-star region and has now exited the superluminal cruise state.

It is expected to enter the orbit of the Earth's mother planet after 7 Earth days. All units and departments will start to take action according to the plan...】

The voice of the general manager Ma Zhao was heard in every cabin on the spacecraft.

James struggled to get up from the life support chamber, soaking in sticky and slippery nutrient solution for four years.

It is not easy to quickly restore to the state before hibernation.

But fortunately, he has received the [Blessing of Popular Election] and his physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary humans.

Born as an elite member of the North American Marine Corps in the Resident Evil dimension, he feels extremely proud and honored that he can represent the indigenous people and be selected by the United Government to participate in this significant interstellar journey.

Especially since he is one of the few black people among the 1086 members of the operation.

This makes James cherish this hard-earned opportunity even more.

"Get your damn asses out of that hibernation chamber!

ten minutes!
In ten minutes, I want to see all of you appear in front of me fully armed!
I swear to the Supreme God, if anyone fails to do this, I will use my three-kilogram combat boots to kick his ass to pieces..."

James' roar soon echoed in the exclusive cabin of Security Department's A Squadron.

James has always set high standards and strict requirements for his 100 security guards.

So much so that he was nicknamed "Dark Devil".

James didn't care about this and even felt secretly proud of it.

Soon, James received orders from the spacecraft's main control room.

"What? Let us be ready for battle at any time?!"

James was shocked when he heard the news.

'If I remember correctly, we are now in another galaxy 10.5 light years away from Earth...

Ready to fight?!'

At the same time, the spacecraft's observation room was packed with experts and scholars from the Astronomical Observation Department.

From the solemn expression of the general manager Ma Zhao, it can be seen that something unexpected seemed to have happened.

“For the sake of the Most High God, shouldn’t it be possible?

There shouldn’t be any planets in fixed orbits in Tianyuan 4…”

As many as dozens of astronomy experts are using various observation equipment and instruments to aim at a planet in the Tianyuan Tetrastar system.

"This planet has a special orbit, and is obscured by the star Epsilon Adenophora most of the time.

In addition, we were observing from 10.5 light years away, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes..."

An astronomer is still explaining.

Ma Zhao, the general manager on the other side, was not in the mood to care about so many things.

"The problem we need to solve urgently now is to ensure that this planet will not affect the Earth's parent star's entry into the orbit of the Tianyuan quadruple star.

Instead of wondering why it is here!"

According to the calculation of the artificial intelligence MOSS, the solar helium flash will occur in the year 2078 of the Wandering Calendar.

It is now the year 2075 of the Wandering Calendar.

Time is running out for the coalition government.

They must move Earth's parent planet out of the solar system as quickly as possible.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, after observation, we can confirm that this Earth-like planet named 'Tianyuan 4A' will not affect the docking of the parent planet..."

The reply from the astronomical observation expert group finally made Commander-in-Chief Ma Zhao breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, through our observations, this 'Tianyuan 4A' has the potential to host life.

There is liquid water, the distance from the star is moderate, the temperature on the surface of the planet is suitable, and we can even observe traces of a large amount of vegetation on the surface of this planet..."

The astronomical observation team's words made Ma Zhao nervous again.

Ever since the appearance of this Earth-like planet that should not have appeared in the Tianyuan Tetrastar system, Ma Zhao has found it difficult to agree with the words of these so-called experts.

A planet with a high probability of harboring life?

Will the parking of Earth's mother planet have no impact?

Isn't this complete nonsense!
What if there is alien life on this Earth-like planet "Tianyuan 4A" that can pose a threat to humans or even the entire mother planet Earth?
As the person in charge of this operation, Ma Zhao cannot gamble with the future of our mother planet Earth.

Under his order, the "Human Exploration" immediately entered an emergency state.

The reconnaissance and observation of the Earth-like planet "Tianyuan 4A" was quickly launched.

More than a dozen space probes flew above the outer space orbit of "Tianyuan 4A" to conduct more detailed observations of the planet's internal environment.

"What is certain is that even if there is life on this planet.

Their level of civilization is by no means very high.

At least there is no breakthrough in planetary civilization..."

After observing around and finding that there was no spacecraft equipment in the outer space orbit of "Tianyuan 4A", the expert group of the Astronomical Observation Department gave their interim report.
