I, revise the agreement and hand it over to the country

"Can these materials withstand the high temperature of stars?"

"This may be a joke made by Dongyuan to our whole world. Otherwise, they are too inflated. The original intention is good, because the celestial bodies are constantly moving, and it will be difficult to stabilize the route when mining in outer space, but the idea is very good. , and very naive, with so much material, I am afraid that it will eventually become the fuel of the star, and if you are lucky, you may be able to see the small sparks on the star through the astronomical telescope?"

The disclosure of the star base construction plan has attracted the attention of the whole world.

But what's different from the past is that this time the whole world thinks this is an impossible project, thinking that Dongyuan has been too successful in recent years, which has led to their senior management being inflated and becoming unrealistic.

Even among the folks, there have been a large number of astronomy enthusiasts and civil science experts who have demonstrated the feasibility of the star base through various theories.

Basically, all the arguments point to——

impossible!

Although the explosive breakthroughs in various technologies have made the people's cohesion and self-confidence very strong, and they believe in the country in terms of science and technology, this is still too outrageous, and coupled with the pessimism of various 'experts', it also makes the public feel that it is impossible. , thinking this is a wasted project.

Until the project was disclosed, this was the construction plan approved by Qiubai Yuli.

----------

I have always felt that there is a problem with the resource planning of Stellaris.Although planets with ecosystems have more mineral resources than barren planets, it is too ridiculous that a colony planet can produce hundreds of mines per month while other planets can only +3. Obviously uninhabited barren planets are suitable for unscrupulous mining That's right, after all, technology is so advanced.

Chapter 217 Hyperdrive Test Completed

The speed of R&D and construction has gradually slowed down.

Qiu Baiyu plans to use five years to let Dongyuan and the whole world digest the technology and new materials she has developed over the years.

These five years are the time it takes to build the first star base, and it is also the time it takes her to develop the superluminal engine.

After all, this engine involves hyperspace theory and hyperspace materials. It is best for scientists to understand and develop it themselves, with Qiu Baiyu assisting.

If it is directly given to the engine so that the relevant scientists cannot understand the principles and blueprints, it is no different from a fallen empire, that is, it has no future.

If you want the rice seedlings to continue to survive, you need to let the rice seedlings stand firm.

So, Qiu Baiyu fell silent.

Except for occasionally releasing some imaging data on technological breakthroughs, I spend the rest of my time in the laboratory.

Her prestige and fame did not disappear in silence. On the contrary, as she got older, her fame became stronger and stronger, basically reaching the point where everyone knew her.

Because walking through the streets and alleys, every ever-changing technology must be related to her behind it, whether it is autonomous driving, suspension cars, supersonic high-speed rail, quantum computers, and all aspects of life, all kinds of more cost-effective materials Materials make people's lives more portable.

Five years passed quietly.

If age is counted, Qiu Baiyu is nearly 40 years old at this time, and the years have not left marks on her face, because after merging with the Suzheng Agreement, her age has changed from 100+ to immortality.

But every time Qiu Baiyu appears, he deliberately uses nano-robots to correct his face, making himself look older.

In area A of the FTL test area, a miniature 'toy spaceship' lay quietly on the display stand.

There are people standing around.

Today is the day when the hyperlight engine tests the flight of the hyperspace channel. This test is successful. Next, the engine will be loaded on a new scientific research ship to carry scientists through the hyperspace channel to Nanmen II, the closest place in the Solar system. galaxy.

This is another epoch-making experiment. Success means that human beings can travel to other galaxies across a distance of several light years, and no longer have to wait to die in their own galaxies.

According to normal development, human beings should have fully mastered the galaxy before they can go to the outer galaxy, but now Qiu Baiyu has advanced it by several decades.

With the help of subspace detection technology, Qiu Baiyu constructed a temporary hyperspace channel in the uninhabited land of the northwest wasteland on the ground and near the moon base to test various data of the engine.

"Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I can not only see us build moon bases and alien mining stations, but also witness human beings go to explore other galaxies across the distance of space."

Song Guoan, the retired president of the National Academy of Sciences, came to the test site and looked at the test micro-spaceship with a lot of emotion in his eyes.

"Dean Song, you are here." Qiu Baiyu greeted Song Guoan, and then said with a smile: "Maybe we can see humans colonizing alien planets."

The old dean is already 80 years old at this time, but under the advanced medical technology, he is still healthy and full of vitality.

The conquering of cancer has also given countless elderly people a second spring and rekindled their hope of being alive.

"Here we come." Song Guoan laughed, "Academician Qiu, you gave us another great gift! I don't want to colonize alien planets. Seeing humans go to other galaxies has already exceeded my dream. , you can retire with peace of mind.”

In Song Guoan's eyes, apart from emotion, there was excitement and satisfaction.

Qiu Baiyu said thoughtfully, "Dean Song, in a few years, genetic technology should be able to go a step further. Some genetic technologies should be able to extend life."

Even without genetic ascension, by relying on the 'Activity Enhancer' and 'Cell Vitality' technologies and periodically giving people cell regeneration therapy, they can prolong life to the point of immortality.

However, if you want the immortality of the whole people, you still have to carry out mechanical ascension or genetic ascension. The former becomes a robot, and the latter cuts off the aging factor directly from the genetic level, adding active genes so that people can metabolize forever, supplemented by cell regeneration technology. Immortality can be achieved.

As for attaining immortality by relying on psychic energy... that depends only on whether the individual can be lucky enough to become the chosen one, otherwise, he still has to rely on genetic technology to prolong his life.

At present, it would be a pity for some knowledgeable scientists of human beings to be allowed to live, grow old, get sick and die like this. The advancement of genetic technology may allow them to 'live a second life'.

"Really, then I have to look forward to it." Song Guoan smiled and didn't care.

Time passed quickly, and it was test time.

Although this test was conducted in secret, it would not be announced until it was sure that there would be no mistakes, but such a big move, it is still very difficult for foreign countries to know, unless Qiu Baiyu blocks the Internet.

Obviously Qiu Baiyu is not interested in this kind of thing.

As long as no one comes to make trouble, she generally doesn't care about other countries' prying eyes.

"First test, start, 9, 8, 7..."

Accompanied by the broadcast, a white halo appeared on the tail of the miniature spaceship, which was the activation of the FTL engine.

"6, 5, 4..."

A white halo gradually enveloped the entire spaceship, forming a faint white protective film.

This protective film was originally colorless, but in order to enhance its visibility when the superluminal engine is activated, a special dye was added to dye it white.

"3, 2, 1, start!"

Everyone's eyes were blurred, and the miniature spaceship that was watched disappeared instantly, as if it had become a singularity.

Yang Guang, who was in charge of the test site, immediately connected to the test area B on the lunar base.

"Well, what's the reaction over there?"

"Beep——! Subspace fluctuations have been detected, an object has been detected, and the micro-spacecraft has successfully arrived at the designated location!"

The holographic image of Area B in the test area appeared in the lobby of Area A.

A burst of white light flashed, and the miniature spaceship appeared in the designated test area.

The appearance of the spacecraft caused some slight changes in the air, land, light, etc. in the target area, which were recorded by special detectors.

"Check the detectors, look for abnormal points, and confirm the safety of the landing site."

"Investigating."

Several robots were put into the area where the satellite spacecraft appeared, and began to detect the surrounding environment. After confirming that there were no deadly cosmic rays or other fatal factors, they went to the micro spacecraft and opened the spacecraft.

The inside is intact as before, and there is no abnormality in any part due to the superluminal movement.

After a long time, the voice of the person in charge of Area B came——

"No abnormalities, the experiment was a perfect success."

"it is good!"

clap clap clap-

Everyone in District A and District B stood up and applauded.

Qiu Baiyu showed a faint smile.

"The next step is to go to the Nanmen [-] galaxy to have a look."

She had a hunch that there would be something very important to her in the Nanmen II system.

Chapter 218 Depart! Alpha Centauri!

"Academician Qiu, it seems that this hyperspace channel can be used smoothly. Tell me, can we use this thing to shorten the transportation time between the Earth and the Moon?"

This is what Field Marshal Xu Taining said.

While others were immersed in the success of the experiment and were happy to see the hope of exploring other galaxies, he saw the bright spot of this way of moving.

"You have a good idea, but I'm sorry to tell you, don't think about it." Qiu Baiyu smiled slightly, "Each hyperspace engine needs to spend a huge amount of money to make, and when moving in hyperspace, there will be no The point has some effect on the landing point, and the bigger the moving object, the bigger the effect."

After a pause, she added: "The most important thing is to create a hyperspace channel. If it is between galaxies, it can exist stably. However, within the galaxy, there are interferences such as magnetic fields, gravity, and radiation between planets, and it cannot exist stably. , it took me five years to maintain this temporary hyperspace channel for testing, and it will take another five years to build another one."

The more he talked, the redder Xu Taining's face became, "Well, it's because I'm ignorant."

Song Guoan couldn't help laughing, "Old Xu, let alone you, I'm also ignorant. I'm afraid this kind of technology won't be understood in tens or hundreds of years."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Although the technology is too advanced and there are advanced penalties, you can still understand it in 50 years." Qiu Baiyu said.

"..."

A breakthrough has been made in the hyperspace engine experiment, and the whole world is plunged into a dream.

Starting from the breakthrough of the fusion reactor, Dongyuan's technology is even more outrageous than cheating. Various imaginary science and technologies have been proven and applied. There was a joke during the period of great technological development that the technology in the morning will become obsolete in the afternoon.

The same is true today.

This period, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, was marked by breakthroughs in fusion reactors.

But now, everyone agrees that the fifth industrial revolution has begun.

The breakthrough of the hyperspace engine can bring mankind to a new stage.

This is indeed the case.

After Dongyuan announced the breakthrough of the superluminal engine, he immediately announced that it would be installed on a scientific research ship within three years, carrying many scientists from Dongyuan to the neighbor of the Solar Galaxy, South Gate [-] (Alpha Centauri) to explore.

The release of this news shocked the whole world.

The Nanmen [-] galaxy and the speed of light have become people's talk after dinner. If you don't talk about your colonization of alien planets, you will be embarrassed to talk to others.

Since human beings' knowledge of space has increased, Proxima Centauri B, a planet in the Alpha Centauri triple star system, has been considered the most likely planet to host life.

However, with the development of astronomical telescope technology, humans have discovered that this exoplanet may be a tidally locked planet, and one side of the planet is always in darkness.

The focus of this exploration mission is to explore this planet that is expected to become a habitable planet and see if this planet has life.

So the point of discussion is whether there is alien life in Proxima Centauri b.

Arguments in reality are very normal, and they will basically quote scriptures and talk about their own understanding.
