From ship girl to machine god

That is the core of the entire Centauri system. Proxima Centauri and Proxima Centauri b are just the peripheral stars of this three-star system.

In the binary star system composed of Nanmenmen A and Nanmenmen B, because there are two stars that are almost the same size as the sun, they provide the galaxy with quite sufficient light and heat, which also makes this galaxy suitable. The habitat is very broad.

If a planet happens to be located in this area, it is very likely that life or even civilization will be born on the planet.

One of the main missions of the survey team in coming to the Proxima Centauri galaxy is to search for possible habitable planets. This is their second most important mission under the big mission of investigating whether the entire Proxima II galaxy is docked with the Earth.

And compared to spending 500 years to fly the Earth here, if a habitable planet can be found in this galaxy, it is actually relatively easier for humans to colonize it.

And this is the salvation route chosen by the Spaceship Faction, but in this way, only a few selected elites will be able to survive.

The reason is also very simple. Human beings cannot build a spaceship large enough to take away the billions of people on the earth.

In fact, from a certain perspective, saving everyone is an impossible goal, and it is also an uneconomical goal.

Because there are always some people who will be eliminated by this cruel disaster, or abandoned.

This is cruel and inhumane, but it is true.

Just like in the original movie plot of The Wandering Earth, even if humans started the planetary engine in time and put the earth on the road, humans also entered the underground city and survived, but the quota to enter the underground city required a lottery.

There are quite a few people who failed to get a spot to enter the dungeon, and these people... can only freeze to death on the surface.

Perhaps more responsible countries will rescue these people, but more countries will just ignore their deaths.

Even the mountain-moving plan cannot save everyone, and the Ark plan is even more conceivable.

But now, for the Earth and the spaceship faction, if the survey team can find a habitable planet in Nanmen II or the Proxima Centauri galaxy, at least they can let the Bluebird spacecraft carry the human elite and gene seed bank to the habitable planet for research. Colonization ensures that human civilization will not perish.

As for humans on earth, they can continue the mountain-moving plan, because the fire has been sent, human civilization has been continued, and all that is left is to save more people.

Therefore, after arriving in the Proxima Centauri galaxy, the observation department on the spacecraft has been operating the observation instruments on the ship at full power to observe the directions of Nanmen A and Nanmen B, looking for whether there are planets around these two stars. , and whether these planets are habitable.

And now, they've made a discovery.

Qingniao also knew this immediately through his connection with the spacecraft.

"A blue Earth-like planet? Are you sure you saw it correctly?" Jade Bird came to the General Observation Department. In addition to her, all the leaders of the investigation team also rushed over because this discovery was so amazing.

A staff member responsible for operating the observation equipment quickly called up the footage they had captured and displayed it in front of everyone.

What I saw on the screen was a huge blue gaseous planet, and next to this gaseous planet was a star very similar to the Earth, just like a sapphire, embedded in the quiet universe.

"Can you zoom in and out?" the commanding officer looked at this beautiful planet and asked the staff.

The planet captured in the picture was too small, and he wanted to zoom in to see it.

However, without waiting for the staff to operate, Qingniao directly waved his hand, used his authority to mobilize the observation equipment on the spacecraft, and took more accurate photos in the direction of the planet.

Soon a new picture was displayed in front of everyone, and everyone was speechless in surprise.

After a long time, someone broke the silence and asked in a low voice: "Is that green? Is there vegetation on that planet?"

Blue Bird did not speak, but switched the observation mode of the observation equipment again, and then took new photos again.

"From the perspective of spectral and infrared analysis..." Qingniao looked at the images taken with multiple observation modes, and said with uncontrollable excitement: "This is a habitable planet, and there is water and vegetation on its surface. It is A living planet may even have given birth to civilization.”

"Planet of life? Breeds civilization?" Everyone was stunned. Such a discovery is enough to shock the entire human society and will go down in history forever.

"Chief Engineer Qing, we want to go over and take a look!" The most excited person at this time was not the other people, but the oldest and most stable old scientist. He excitedly said to Qingniao: "If this is really a If there is a living planet, then the future of mankind will have a brand new possibility! Such a discovery that can change history, we must verify it with our own eyes!"

Qingniao can understand the excitement of the old scientists. After all, it is the first time in human history that a living planet has been discovered. It is so close to the earth. This is very important to those on the earth who are still dealing with the helium flash crisis. What a huge surprise for those who work hard!

Just the discovery of this planet already means that the mission of the survey team has been successfully completed.

Just kidding, life planets have been discovered, and you are still discussing whether this galaxy is habitable?

As for whether the earth is suitable for anchoring in this galaxy, is it difficult to choose?

At the worst possible outcome, wouldn't it be great to put the Earth into the orbit of Proxima Centauri, and then use spacecraft to move the Earth's population to that planet?

The distance between Nanmen 0.28A and Nanmen [-]B is a full [-] light years!Although this is a very close distance on a cosmic scale, it seems to be right at your doorstep. The three stars are even in the same galaxy.

But in fact this is a very far distance for humans!

Without the use of a jump engine, even the Blue Bird's body would not be able to fly such a long distance with a conventional engine before dying of old age in a generation.

Therefore, whether the earth is suitable for docking in this galaxy is a topic that does not need to be discussed.

Chapter 58 Group

The news of the discovery of a living planet spread throughout the ship in an instant, and everyone was caught up in excitement and joy.

This is the first time that humans have discovered living planets and extraterrestrial life, and everyone on board has enough knowledge and knowledge to understand what a great discovery this is and what it means to the current earth.

So it is conceivable that among them, a few of them did not faint, and their physical fitness was already good enough as astronauts.

"Then how should we send people to investigate that living planet now? Should the whole ship fly directly there?" In the open bridge viewing room, everyone looked at South Gate [-]A and South Gate [-]B from a distance, trying to use The naked eye and limited optical observation equipment were used to search for the living planet, while discussing what the investigation team should do next.

Discovering living planets, there is no doubt that the investigation and exploration of living planets will become the most important task.

But as scientists and astronauts, they all understand that the investigation team cannot simply give up the investigation of Proxima b.

And this means that some people on the ship will inevitably be left to continue building the forward base of Proxima b, while others can go to the living planet.

At this time, everyone obviously wants to go to the living planet. As for staying and facing Proxima b, an earth-like planet with a harsh environment...

Although it is not that no one intends to carry forward the style, there is no doubt that if there is a choice, everyone would still want to choose Life Planet.

No one dares to say that there is no cute alien girl with furry cat ears on that living planet.

"Duoduo, are you going to stay here, or are you going to the living planet?" Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo were naturally here. After Liu Peiqiang forcibly squeezed away the others and pulled Han Duoduo to the viewing window , he asked Han Duoduo with some concern and pretended nonchalance.

Regarding this question, Han Duoduo used nano armor to build an observation equipment that could see the living planet clearly and searched for the target. At the same time, he replied to Liu Peiqiang: "If you can go to the living planet, of course you have to go there. There is no change at all here on Proxima b except for the red sand being red sand every day, and even the sun never sets."

Hearing Han Duoduo's answer, Liu Peiqiang nodded and said he understood, and then said nothing.

Han Duoduo noticed something was wrong with his mood, so she moved her eyes away from the observation equipment, looked at Liu Peiqiang and asked with concern: "Peiqiang, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

"No, I'm just thinking that we must keep people here on Proxima Centauri. If you want to go to the living planet, I will go to your superiors to apply to stay, so that you have a greater chance of going to the living planet. Liu Peiqiang explained to Han Duoduo that he naturally wanted to see the life planet, but considering that Han Duoduo also wanted to go, one of the couple would have to stay.

If it was in the past, Liu Peiqiang must have tried every means to go with Han Duoduo.

But after the two got married, Liu Peiqiang was already thinking more about Han Duoduo instead of thinking about what he wanted to do.

When Han Duoduo heard what he said, she immediately put an arm around Liu Peiqiang's shoulders and smiled at him: "When did you learn to be so considerate? But you don't have to ask, I have to go on my own. What's the matter with you?"

Confident pride appeared on Han Duoduo's face. Although she also had a feminine side in front of Liu Peiqiang, being able to stand out from countless people and become an astronaut already showed Han Duoduo's excellence and her strength.

At this time, Liu Peiqiang said that he would give her a place, which aroused her competitive spirit and wanted to use her own ability to win a place to go to the Life Planet.

As for why we should fight for it, everyone knows that it is impossible for everyone to go to the living planet. Someone must stay to complete the work on Proxima Centauri.

"Pei Qiang, how do you think we are going to get there? Proxima Centauri is 0.28 light-years away from Nanmen Er. The landing craft shouldn't have the ability to fly faster than light, right?" Han Duoduo skipped the previous topic and asked instead I wonder if Liu Peiqiang knows what method they will take to get to the living planet.

Liu Peiqiang thought for a while and said: "The only way to use the mothership is to select the people who want to stay, and let everyone land on Proxima b and live in a temporary camp. In this way, while continuing to build the temporary camp, they can live in the temporary camp. Then wait for the other people to come back after completing the investigation.

That should be it, right?We don’t have a second spaceship that can jump..."

While Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo were talking, the ship's radio suddenly started calling people, and those whose names were read became excited and anxious.

They were excited because they knew that they were grouping together for the exploration operation to the living planet, but they were anxious because they didn't know whether the people whose names were read would stay or be able to go to the living planet.

But there is no doubt that no one made any sound at this time, but listened nervously and expectantly to see if their names would be read.

Soon, Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo heard their names respectively.

"Either the two of us have been selected, or neither of us has been selected." Hearing that his and Han Duoduo's names were both read out, Liu Peiqiang felt relaxed. He said jokingly: "This is great. Now, we two don’t have to worry about who is going and who is staying.”

"You should be poor!" Han Duoduo rolled her eyes at Liu Peiqiang angrily, and then pulled him towards the hangar in accordance with the radio instructions.

On the spaceship, the people whose names were read out like theirs also gathered towards the hangar. When they arrived at the hangar, many people had already gathered here.

Jade Bird and the leadership members of the investigation team stood in front of everyone. Looking at the members who were gradually arriving, Jade Bird nodded slightly and motioned to the commanding officer on the side to say a few words.

"I believe that everyone has clearly discovered the matter of the living planet. I believe many people have guessed the purpose of gathering everyone." The commanding officer stood up, looked at everyone, and did not show off: "You will serve as members of the investigation team. The mission is to go to the living planet to conduct an investigation, and to investigate clearly the ecological environment, atmospheric composition and other important conditions of this planet, to..."

Liu Peiqiang could no longer hear what the commanding officer said next. At this moment, his heart was full of excitement that he and Han Duoduo had been chosen to go to the Life Planet.

And just as excited as him was the Christian who believed that the blue bird was the Messiah.

At this moment, in his heart, he was convinced that the blue bird was the Messiah. Otherwise, how could he explain that they discovered the living planet as soon as the blue bird appeared as a saint?This must be a miracle!

Chapter 59 Frigates and Powered Armor

The matter of the investigation team is simple, but how to get to the living planet is the focus of this matter.

The distance of 0.28 light-years is indeed not that far. At the flying speed of the blue bird, it only takes one jump to reach it, but this does not mean that things are easy to handle.

After all, this is a very close distance on an astronomical scale. If placed in the solar system, this distance is about 93 times the diameter of the solar system.

Yes, the astronomical scale is so outrageous, and this can only be said to be close at hand on the astronomical scale.

The current technology that humans have mastered does not have the ability to communicate across such a long distance. Even the blue bird has no way to communicate at this distance measured in light years, even if this distance is not even one light year. .

Therefore, if the survey team is divided into two parts, one part goes to the living planet and the other part stays in Proxima Centauri b, then the two will lose contact because of the 0.28 light-year distance.

If there is a problem on one side, there is no possibility of rescue on the other side.

Even the distress signal sent by the other party could not be received in time. After all, even with light, it would take three months to travel from Proxima b to the living planet.

Anything could happen on an alien planet, and in three months' time all that could be found might be dried corpses.

Therefore, for safety reasons, detachment and going to the living planet must be done with caution.

But what is different from what everyone has guessed is that the way to go to the living planet announced by Jade Bird and the leadership is not to leave one team of people on Proxima b and then another team to fly to the living planet in the mothership.

Instead, the selected team boarded a small spacecraft with the ability to jump and flew to the living planet for investigation and exploration.

"There is actually a small spaceship on this ship? This is too..." After hearing the action plan announced by the commanding officer, Liu Peiqiang felt like he could stuff an egg into his mouth. He might be able to find his dropped jaw by searching on the ground. .

However, Han Duoduo reached out to help him put his chin back and closed his mouth.

"It should be hung outside the spacecraft or hidden somewhere in the hull. This ship is more than 700 meters long, which is equivalent to the size of at least four aircraft carriers. We really have no way of knowing what is hidden." The crew member who was also selected spoke of his speculation.

This speculation is actually quite reasonable. After all, the body of the Blue Bird is a 20-ton space aircraft carrier. The length of the hull alone is more than 700 meters, and the internal space is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people or a county-level city.

In such a huge space, the more than 700 people in the investigation team are simply not enough to explore the entire ship, even if they have been on the ship for a year.

Because from the time they boarded the ship until now, there are still many places on the ship that have not been open to them.

Although this has attracted some criticism, under the Blue Bird's own way, no one is really bored and exploring the ship as a hobby, going deep into those unopened areas.

In fact, under the premise that Jade Bird deliberately limited the scope of activities of the members of the investigation team, their scope of activities on the main body of Jade Bird only accounted for up to 30% of the ship.
