Involving a life star, the Federation acted very quickly. After the contract was signed and a large amount of data on Baoji Star was received from the Galaxy Alliance, on the tenth day, a small scientific research fleet composed of ten scientific research motherships immediately sent Baoji Star Departure from auspicious stars.
There is still a lot of preliminary work to be done before developing an unfamiliar planet and sending out immigrants.
Scientific expedition fleet, flagship command room, fleet commander-Kurslev, biological scientists-Zhang Shuisheng, Tiermuller, Tanimoto Ichiro...physical scientists-Sun Weilong, Bazel...etc., forty-two people present, Top scientists from all fields of mankind gather together.
With the help of video communication, the fleet commander-Kurslev summoned everyone for a meeting before the fleet sailed into the wormhole.
On the holographic screen above the conference table, there is an image of a giant blue planet floating, slowly rotating. The blue ocean, the atmosphere with floating white clouds, driven by the cyclone, present a realistic and magnificent picture.
"Baoji Star is 12,783 light-years away from us. During this period, we have to convert three wormholes. It is estimated that it will take 17 days to reach the destination. Most of the time, everyone will be in a dormant state. On the sixth and ninth days, everyone can come out and move around. , at other times, please do not open the hibernation cabin at will." Fleet Commander-Kurslev looked at and said that someone introduced the general precautions for navigation.
"Now, I would like to ask Professor Zhang to explain to us the scientific research mission of our voyage." Fleet Commander-in-Chief Kurslev looked at Zhang Shuisheng and introduced to everyone.
Professor Zhang Shuisheng nodded, looked at everyone explaining the mission, and said: "The purpose of our trip: to comprehensively verify the planetary magnetic field, gravity environment, climate environment, and ecological conditions of Baoji Star... conduct various microbial virus experiments, and determine the survival rates of different regions. Experiments...approximately ninety-five thousand important biological experiments."
"Among them, various microbial experiments, virus antibody experiments... establish a comprehensive biochemical database, establish Baojixing biological gene library... We will develop a practical immune vaccine in a short time... "
“…”
"Everyone, our task is very heavy. The federal government plans to start implementing the immigration plan within three to five years. The speed of our research directly affects the federal immigration progress. The research results determine the direction of the immigration plan. Any mistakes may cause serious accidents. Therefore, I hope everyone can maintain a rigorous style at all times in the next scientific research." Professor Zhang Shuisheng looked at everyone and concluded with high hopes.
The professors looked solemn, looked at Bao Jixing on the holographic screen, and nodded in unison.
Immigration to an alien planet is a very serious scientific issue.
First of all, Baoji Star is different from the Earth in size, rotation speed, distance from the star... which makes its gravity environment, magnetic field, atmospheric layer, atmospheric pressure, climate change... etc. different from the Earth. However, humans are adapting to the Earth. Environmental creatures must first confirm whether they can overcome these planetary environments.
For example: the earth's magnetic field is usually invisible and intangible, but it is an indispensable and important part of the survival of living things on the earth. The earth's magnetic field is like a protective shield, effectively preventing cosmic rays, solar wind, etc. from directly hitting the earth. disappear, a large number of cosmic rays and solar winds that are extremely harmful to living things will be directly shot to the ground, leading to the extinction of a large number of species... However, not every planet has a magnetic field.
The generation mechanism of the planetary magnetic field is very complex. It may originate from the permanent magnet inside the planet, it may be due to the presence of a large amount of positively charged plasma in the earth's core, or it may be the point charge generated by the macroscopic mechanical movement of the celestial body... The probability of formation is different. The effects are also different.
Baoji Star is a life star with SS-level qualifications. It must have a planetary magnetic field, but what is its magnetic field environment like? Is it friendly to humans? Everything has yet to be tested on site.
According to the information provided by the Galaxy Alliance, the gravity and climate environment of Baoji Planet are very suitable for human survival. However, there is still a most complex and difficult problem that needs to be solved. There are huge differences between the species and microorganisms that survive in different ecological environments. Differences are incompatible.
In the natural environment of the earth, including the human body, microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses are everywhere. Humans have countless microorganisms in their bodies since birth. Various microorganisms check and balance each other and coordinate with each other in the human body, forming a microbiome. Including bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. Viruses are divided into DNA viruses, RNA viruses, and retroviruses based on genetic material.
The same is true in the natural world of Baoji Planet. If humans want to survive on Baoji Planet, they must be immune to the bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that exist on Baoji Planet. At the same time, the microorganisms that humans carry with them must not be harmful to the microorganisms on Baoji Planet. All kinds of life cause fatal damage... It is a very difficult task to perfectly integrate the different ecological chains of the two planets.
As Professor Zhang Shuisheng said, once something goes wrong somewhere during the experiment, catastrophic events will occur. The war between microorganisms is more cruel than the competition for the living space of species.
"Well! That's all I have to say. Next, I would like to invite Professor Sun to speak." Zhang Shuisheng looked at Professor Sun Weilong and handed over the right to speak.
Professor Sun Weilong smiled at everyone and began to speak authentically: "The scientific research mission of this voyage has placed the expectations of all mankind. Baoji Star is located near the center of the Milky Way and is the focus of the future development of the Federation. If it is confirmed that immigration can be carried out in the next ten years, In the year, it will share the population pressure of the home planet and become the most important planet among all human colonial stars, so its security becomes particularly important."
"The star system where Baoji Star is located is a relatively ordinary star system. It has eleven planets and is the fifth planet in the Karri system... In order to ensure its safety, in the future, we will establish a planetary defense in a near-star orbit. Net... We need to thoroughly understand the activities of the Calray star and build a system of defense systems around the star in its orbit... to strengthen its security through twelve major defense projects."
In addition, the sixth planet Tamut is a star rich in resources and suitable for the development of interstellar minerals... The ninth planet is a giant gas star. Its huge gravity often captures asteroids and comets, causing violent collisions and violent activities. Phenomenon... There are still many unidentified conditions in this galaxy, and we have a lot of exploration work to do.
"In order for the immigration to proceed smoothly, we must complete these tasks in a short time and investigate the movement of the star system in detail... "
“…”
Like Professor Zhang Shuisheng, Professor Sun Weilong introduced to everyone in detail the work arrangements related to the field of physics.
Scientists at the scene, as well as those conducting meetings via video, listened carefully and took notes carefully.
This scientific research mission is a very meaningful task. Understanding a life star with perfect form is an extremely rare experience in a lifetime for most scientists.
Professor Sun Weilong gave the introduction, and then turned the right to speak back to the fleet commander Kurslev, saying: "General, my introduction has also been completed."
Kurslev nodded, took over the topic, looked at everyone and said: "Well, I will repeat it at the end. We will conduct scientific research on an unfamiliar planet. There are various unknown dangers on this planet. , our existing data cannot guarantee accuracy, therefore, all scientific expedition activities and out-of-field experimental operations must comply with safety regulations."
After a pause, Kurslev asked everyone loudly: "You are not allowed to leave the experimental base without permission, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law. Do you understand?"
"understand!"
All the professors were shocked and nodded in unison.
"Okay, it's almost time. Everyone is going to enter the hibernation cabin. We will prepare for the wormhole shuttle in two hours. The meeting is over!" Kurslev nodded with satisfaction and looked at everyone and ordered.
With a "crash", everyone stood up and left the conference room.
Soon, everyone on the ship put down their work, arrived at the sleeping area one after another, and entered the sleeping cabin one by one.
In the dark space, ten human scientific research motherships are like sharp arrows that have been speeding towards the vast universe.
Suddenly, a vast energy beam was fired from the bow of the scientific research mothership, which gathered in front and continuously formed an energy vortex. Finally, the vortex energy opened a space-time wormhole, and then, the scientific research mothership speeding ahead plunged into the wormhole. In the hole, there are also nine scientific research motherships that are exactly the same. They opened the wormholes one after another and disappeared together in the space of the solar system.
The scene of the scientific research mothership entering the space-time wormhole is transformed into a holographic picture through light signals, and the entire process is presented in front of all viewers.
"The scientific research ship has left the solar system. Their target is Baoji Star. In 17 days, we will receive news from them from Baoji Star. Let's look forward to it together!" The host, Li Jia, excitedly asked the audience Everyone introduced.
With the departure of the scientific expedition fleet, the entire human civilization began to boil again.
"That's great. The federal government is moving so quickly! I believe immigration will start in less than two years."
"Baoyan Fleet! I wish you all the best."
"I'll be able to see Baojixing's on-the-spot reports in a while. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"You're moving so fast. Are you starting a scientific research investigation now? It seems like the Federation is serious about it!"
"The Federation is mighty, long live mankind!"
“…”
On the Internet, hundreds of millions of comments on this live news broadcast were filled with countless applause. The entire human civilization has unlimited expectations for Baoji Star.
The news screen returned to the studio. Li Jia looked at Professor Chen Kaiwei and asked with a smile: "Professor Chen, is there a high chance that Baoyan Fleet and the others will bring us good news?"
"Big, very big, probably more than 90%." Chen Kaiwei laughed and assured confidently.
Li Jia's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Professor Chen, how can you be so sure?"
"Haha! The contract we signed with the Galaxy Alliance is to join the military operation to resist the Dark Zerg. Ten years later, a fleet of 100,000 intercontinental ships will be dispatched. The federal government has dispatched such a huge military force. The Galaxy Alliance will definitely not take one. Give us the useless Life Star! The federal government must have gone through a detailed assessment, so my judgment will only be less, not more." Professor Chen Kaiwei explained with a laugh.
"So that's it!" Li Jia suddenly realized and looked at Professor Chen Kaiwei and continued to ask: "Professor, the Federation has paid such a high price for this life star, do you think it is worth it?"
Hearing this, Professor Chen Kaiwei frowned, pondered for a moment, and replied: "How to put it! One hundred thousand intercontinental ships is an unimaginable huge number. In order to build these warships, the Federation must devote all its efforts to production. Join Dar After defeating the Zerg on the battlefield, our soldiers may have to face very serious sacrifices, which will greatly damage the combat effectiveness of the federal army."
After a pause, Professor Chen Kaiwei continued: "However, battleships can reproduce resources. Since the Federation has produced so many intercontinental ships, it has the ability to produce more intercontinental ships. As for soldiers, under the threat of the Dark Zerg, Nowadays, the relationship between human beings and the Galactic Alliance is inseparable. It is a war that we have to face... The pressure on human beings' living space is very high. Baoji Star allows us to gain breathing space. Moreover, a living planet is inseparable from intelligent biological civilization. It is affordable and can create unlimited wealth. Relatively speaking, it is relatively cost-effective for human civilization."
"Professor, your answer is very impressive. So, when do you expect the Federation to start organizing immigrants from Baoji Planet?" Li Jia nodded with satisfaction, looked at Chen Kaiwei and continued to ask.
Professor Chen Kaiwei smiled slightly, faced the camera, and replied with a smile: "Actually, the immigration plan has already begun to be implemented. The federal government is actively using artificial intelligence, so the actions are extremely thorough. Detailed arrangements have been made before the contract is signed. , for example, this time the Baoyan fleet is sailing, for example, the collection of opinions on the Internet, immigration application approval... Various production orders are amplified, reflected in the stock market, pharmaceutical sector, military sector, resource sector, chemical materials... This period continues Strengthening, this is the status of the Baojixing immigration plan being implemented."
"Professor Chen, when will ordinary people be able to go to Baoji Star? To be honest, I can't wait to go to Baoji Star!" Li Jia nodded and asked jokingly.
"Well! It's a bit difficult to determine the time. First, we have to look at the scientific research results of the Baoyan fleet, and then dispatch the federal fleet to carry out the defense construction of the interstellar military base... It will take about 5-7 years for ordinary people to go to Baoji Star. That’s it!” Professor Chen Kaiwei replied with a smile.
"5-7 years! It's a bit long, but it's worth looking forward to. Audiences, what do you think?" Li Jia nodded with a smile and asked the audience watching the news.
"Yes! Baoji Star is one of the famous tourist stars of the Galaxy Alliance. I hope everyone can go and take a look when they have the opportunity!" Chen Kaiwei said in agreement.
