Next Destination

  The distance of 20 light years is neither short nor long. Perhaps in the future, other interstellar civilizations will flee here.

  Maybe there is more than one civilization fleeing, it is an alliance that has failed in the competition!

  A failed medium-sized alliance is not something that new human civilization can contend with.

  During this meeting, Captain Feng raised this question: "... As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, it is important for us to stay away from the Dyson Sphere as soon as possible. The battle star of Shanhai Various projects can be developed while escaping."

  Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, this question is very realistic.

  But where do people go?

  Wandering around the universe without any purpose is just a waste of time. It is better to have some clear destinations.

  He raised his hand and took the lead in saying: "Although the entire human society currently has many internal affairs, whether it is the large-scale development of the Battle Star or the increase in population, they are all important. But these trivial matters can be carried out step by step as long as a good plan is made. We will continue to implement it effectively. I don't think the difficulties encountered in the process will be too great."

  "But if we want to make long-term progress, we still have to communicate with other countries and collide with other civilizations. Even communicating with lower-level civilizations is better than closing the country in isolation."

  For this matter, people also specially dug out the star road map that was exchanged for the new civilization history in the Huantai Civilization Trading Market, and studied it carefully.

  These star road maps were obtained from Level 4 civilizations and are quite valuable. Now, it comes in handy again.

  It was precisely because of this information that people discovered two neutron stars that were about to collide, so they cooperated with the Toss civilization and climbed to the level of a fourth-level civilization.

  Although the value of this thing has become outdated due to the passage of time, maybe some of the indigenous people recorded in it have already ascended to the stars and embraced a wider universe, and maybe some civilizations have been completely extinct...

  "This is data from thousands of years ago...Thousands of years of time are not conspicuous in the entire universe, but for civilization, it is not short." Zhang Yuan sighed.

  He suddenly discovered that this star road map was actually quite interesting. It condensed the history of indigenous life. Perhaps, for some extinct civilizations, the only trace of their existence is a series of written texts that are now recorded.

  [Planet D-173336FGD is going through the Ice Age. We discovered primitive tribes in the Stone Age, with a total population of 2,000 people, and they are on the verge of extinction. ]

  [Planet M-336SFA, due to its unique geology and lack of fossil fuels, the indigenous civilization is in a long-term dynastic reincarnation stage. ]

  [Planet D-6469WFSA, the atmosphere lacks oxygen, and no traces of intelligent life have been found yet. ]

  As a fourth-level civilization, the new humanity naturally no longer needs to move along the cosmic strings, so it can go to many more places than before.

  The astronomer said: "In our database, the rough data includes 20 million stars, and the more detailed data includes 600,000 planets. The very detailed data covers about 900 planets. The old fourth-level civilization As expected, it has a profound foundation, taking the home planet as the core and exploring the surrounding planets like a carpet."

  "Among them, one civilization has stepped out of the starry sky."

  "Civilizations with the potential to step out of the stars: 3."

  "There are 76 intelligent civilizations that have no potential to step out of the stars."

  "Planet with life: 9,236."

  "Of course, we don't know whether this information is correct, but it may have some reference value..."

  These star road maps contain a large amount of information, and are conclusions drawn from a combination of information from multiple civilizations.

  People are still interested in intelligent life, but most of these planets are very far away from their current positions and will consume too much time.

  Captain Feng frowned and said: "Time is a very precious thing for us. If we sail through hibernation for thousands of years to reach a destination, it might have been feasible in the past. But now, after thousands of years have passed, maybe the Milky Way's The situation will change significantly, probably for the worse."

  "We shouldn't be as carefree as we used to be."

  "Our Shanhai battle star is currently 1.2 times the speed of light. In the next few decades, with the increase in improvements in the curvature engine, it will be able to reach 3 times the speed of light."

  "So... everyone should choose the final destination, right?"

  There was silence for a while, and soon someone started talking about it.

  An astronomer stood up and carefully planned a route. On this route, people can encounter the most living planets, and they can also encounter a first-level civilization that has just stepped out of the starry sky. Perhaps this civilization has grown into a second-level civilization or even a third-level civilization over the years.

  "A living planet is always meaningful because more specimens can be collected. Our  biotechnology is still far from its peak!"

  "Moreover, visiting the stars can also give people some fun."

  "Finally, we were able to reach an interstellar trading market. This trading market is not the market of the Amoeba faction, but was opened by a civilization named 'La Prado'."

  "This Laprado civilization may be a fourth-level civilization or a fifth-level civilization. It seems to have a good reputation."

  Zhang Yuan lowered his head and read the introduction: [The La Prado interstellar trading market has existed for hundreds of thousands of years. This trading market usually takes the form of bartering. Due to its unique geographical location, the Laprado civilization has a unique artificial antimatter fountain, and foreign civilizations can replenish antimatter energy at low prices in the trading market. ]

  A very simple introduction. The civilization that drew this star road map may have never been to this trading market, but only heard about it.

  "Antimatter fountain?"

  Many scientists were discussing among themselves. Human beings lack antimatter, and the productivity of their own synthesis is not high, and antimatter is a necessity for super weapons.

  The requirements for the formation of antimatter fountains are very demanding. Simply put, there is a small black hole near a large black hole. This is a basic premise.

  According to scientific research, if the X-rays produced by the accretion disk of a massive black hole interact with a small black hole, a certain degree of antimatter can be produced.

  By artificially guiding the entire process, the rate of antimatter production can be increased to a higher level. This speed is much more efficient than slowly using laser synthesis!

  This plan is indeed very good. The only potential risk is that the Aleph civilization may focus on the unique interstellar trading market in this geographical location...

  When the new humans come to the door and find that a war is going on there, they are asking for trouble.

  Of course, human beings cannot cower in a corner just because of such risks. Not going out at all is asking for self-destruction.

  "This is a good plan, and we can use it as a preliminary plan for the time being... If there is no better plan, let's follow this route."

  Immediately afterwards, someone else stood up. They thought they could return to the collision area of ​​the neutron star, join the Toss civilization, and form a semi-military alliance.

  After the military strength increases, then implement this alternate route and go to the La Prado Interstellar Trading Market to see if there are any opportunities.

  "...The Toss civilization should still be developing in the old place, adapting to its own visual capabilities. They will stay there and develop for four to five hundred years. If we go back, it will take about 150 years. According to the current political structure of the Milky Way, how many years will it take? An ally would also be a good choice."

  "The Amoeba faction's spaceship broadcast this incident all the way. The Thos people should know the risks involved."

  This statement has been recognized by more people.

  Compared with the natural allies 1,600 light-years away, people actually identify more with this alien ally that has struggled together for thousands of years.

  No one knows how the original earth civilization and those natural allies have developed. It is irresponsible to spend a lot of time and energy to take a gamble. The new human civilization has left them a lot of knowledge and wealth, and they no longer owe them anything psychologically.

  On the contrary, the alien ally "Toss Civilization" is already a true fourth-level civilization, and it is still booming. There should be no problem in that the two sides can communicate with each other in a friendly and trusting manner, promote and compete with each other.

  It's also good to put a little competitive pressure on yourself.

  A vice-captain touched his hair: "Your idea makes sense, but... the Toss civilization may not necessarily act with us, right? They also have their own home planet, and our new human civilization is not attached to our mother planet. Xing, who knows what those large giant salamanders think..."

  "Also, do you mean to form a serious alliance? This is a very important matter. Once successful, it may affect the development of thousands or tens of thousands of years in the future. We need to use the new civilization Historiography makes calculations. Even...it has exceeded the calculation ability of the history of new civilization."

  The history of new civilization can only predict the future and destiny of human civilization itself. People know their own society better and can predict the future to a certain extent based on the past and present.

  But adding a Toss civilization in the middle will greatly increase the difficulty. After all, the history of new civilization is only a small branch of predictive mathematics, and it is impossible to see the future to a certain extent like the Gaia faction.

  "...And a serious alliance must always have priorities. Who is in charge and who is in charge is a big issue. Neither party will give up the dominance. Only when we evolve to a fifth-level civilization will we abandon this aspect. prejudice..."

  Another military expert shook his head: "We can discuss this issue with them at that time. We now have a civilization with battle stars..."

  "We feel that we can be independent politically, as long as we are militarily alliance."

  "But how to operate this? Rely on the trust of both parties? Have you ever lived up to the old saying, when disaster strikes, each will fly! The reliability is really a bit low."

  "If the Toss civilization doesn't work, why don't we go back and look for the Human Alliance? The Human Alliance... let's forget it."

  To be honest, Zhang Yuan doesn't like the Human Alliance very much. Once the alien alliance doesn't get along well, it can be disbanded directly, and the people will not complain.

  Once the human alliance is established and mutual exchanges expand, how can it be disbanded on the spot?

  A large number of poor relatives are waiting for relief and looking on helplessly. What should be done?

  The scariest thing is not the poor relatives, but those who are poor and lazy! The impact of various ideologies... Once this happens, it will be dizzying to think about.

  Therefore, the Human Alliance should forget it. Before it can completely solve the problem of the decline of its own civilization, Zhang Yuan is not that philanthropic.

  Li Zhendong flipped through the star road map in his hand and suddenly said: "I have a special idea. Don't think about alliances. We can go here... this planet!"

  He pointed to a star point on the star road map, about 200 light years away from his current location.

  "This planet called Morrigan has a very dense atmosphere because of its unique geographical location!"

  "There are also creatures on that planet that are huge but capable of flying like the Western Dragon, but they can't breathe fire..."

  Everyone who was having a serious discussion was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

  What on earth is this guy talking about!

  Li Zhendong smiled and said: "We don't need to be too utilitarian. Don't we want to get involved in fun and interesting events in the universe? Establishing a new philosophical mechanism is the key to becoming a level five civilization. Shouldn't this be our goal? ?"

  "It would be nice to visit the giant dragons. You can even catch a few and ride them."

  "I'm serious, not kidding! We have a battle star, do we need to be afraid to find military allies? We should think about longer-term things, how to become a level five civilization, instead of thinking about survival issues day and night... …"

  Li Zhendong's statement also attracted a lot of people's attention, although it sounded a bit joking.

  However, if you are interested, you are interested. Based on the way of thinking of the entire civilization level, everyone still feels that... it is more practical to go to the Toss civilization.

  Watching dragons? This idea is too weird.

  To put it bluntly, it is unrealistic.

  If it were normal times, this might be possible... But now it really doesn't make sense. Becoming a  level five civilization is just a little talk. Even the dawn has not yet emerged. How can we put it into action?

  Li Zhendong blushed and argued with this group of people: "Your ideas are too rigid. How can you become a fifth-level civilization after finding the Toss civilization? In the distant future, we have chosen a certain idea and want to transform our own genes. What will the other party do? What should we do? Does the other party think the same as us? What should we do if the other party objects?"

  "Mr. Li, you are wrong!"

  "We are only a military alliance, but we are independent of each other in terms of internal affairs and technology. If we want to communicate, it will not be a free gift. Instead, each will pay a price that satisfies the other. It is equivalent to a transaction."

  "...And when they don't get along well, they can also disband and live their own lives! It's more practical for two civilizations to communicate and compete than for one civilization to develop alone."

  Li Zhendong didn't know how to refute. After finding Toss Civilization, it would definitely affect the freedom of human internal affairs.

  "The possibility of at least two civilizations going to see the dragon together will be very low. This is already a big impact. If we are going to a place, will they follow us? It is difficult."

  "Lao Zhang, don't you want to create endless surprises? At least say a few words. This kind of concept must be cultivated slowly and cannot be formed all at once."

  Zhang Yuan watched their quarrel with amusement, but suddenly found that Li Zhendong had transferred the flames of war to himself.
