Chapter 19 Open Up Footprints
With the gradual deepening of human's understanding of time, space, mass and speed, string theory, super unified field theory and other theories have been continuously developed and improved, and finally, a series of space folding theories have surfaced. And the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology, for the first time, human beings have almost unlimited energy.
Generations of scientists continue to challenge the speed of light. In their hands, objects that can be accelerated to the speed of light grow from elementary particles, to atoms, to molecules, and then to macromolecular polymers. In the end, they can accelerate a spacecraft to sub-light speed.
The theory of space folding has also matured, and human beings have finally found a way to cross distant spaces.
When the first deep space exploration spacecraft with space jumping capability was completed, the warriors who were committed to conquering deep space set foot on the spacecraft with the determination to never return, revealing that human beings have stepped out of the solar system and entered the deep space. Empty new chapter.
The target of Pioneer is a newly discovered planet with a similar celestial environment to the parent star, about 10 light-years away from the parent star. At the moment after a thousand years, 10 light-years cannot be classified as a long distance by any standard, but for the Pioneer at that time, it was a one-way trip.
The pioneer after a long period of acceleration, entered the space jump, and then entered the long galaxy to sail to the target planet. When the crew of the spacecraft was awakened from the cryopod by an automated program, they saw a completely unfamiliar starry sky. With trembling hands, they sent the news of the successful jump to the mother star. This moment, captured by photographers, has become the most classic moment in human history.
When the people on the home planet received the message, it was ten years later. The successful expedition of the Pioneer has completely inspired the desire of human beings to explore deep space. One by one, the deep space exploration colony ships were built continuously, and they continued to sail to other galaxies. Since then, mankind has officially entered the deep space era.
The destinations of these colony ships are mostly different, and only a few ships follow the trail of the Trailblazer to the planet named Eden. The Garden of Eden has been shown to be a habitable planet. In the age of deep space, the criteria for habitable planets are completely different from when they were not out of the parent star. As long as there is atmosphere, water, energy and resources that can be exploited and used, and can independently support the existence of human bases, they can be classified as habitable planets.
Eden's atmosphere cannot breathe directly, and the temperature is too low. Most of the water on the planet's surface exists in the form of ice. However, humans have long accumulated rich experience in colonizing other planets in the solar system, and they are not afraid of this. The first batch of settlers directly landed the Pioneer on the surface of the planet, dismantled the hull, and based on this, established the first large-scale permanent residence base.
Decades later, the first generation of pioneers is getting older, the second and third generations of pioneers have become the backbone, and the fourth generation of pioneers has appeared one after another. On the Garden of Eden, the permanent residence base has changed from one to more than a dozen, and the new space base has started. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and a whole new generation of colonial ships has been built in the outer space of the Garden of Eden. For the first time, humans have a springboard in the depths of the stars. In this way, with the primitive space jumping technology and relying on the pioneers from generation to generation, human beings marched hard but tenaciously towards the depths of the universe.
From the perspective of the Milky Way, the so-called arduous efforts of human beings are really not worth mentioning. The universe is too big, and time and space are constantly expanding. The star field that humans have occupied for hundreds of years is difficult to get rid of the infinitesimal category in the mathematical sense. It is not known how long this process will last, but the discovery of natural wormholes has completely changed the course of human exploration of deep space.
With the existing technology of human beings, it is not difficult to pass through natural wormholes. These natural wormholes, like natural highways in the universe, often connect two galaxies that are extremely far apart. The distance is so far that it is difficult to overcome with the current level of human technology.
As more natural wormholes are discovered, the speed of human exploration of deep space has increased exponentially, and more and more planets have human footprints. The number of human planets is increasing day by day, and human beings have begun to classify planets into four categories: habitable planets, resource planets, strategic planets and barren planets.
However, in the era of Xinghai pioneering, the means of communication of human beings are gradually unable to keep up with the pace of the expansion of the leading star. It often takes years or even decades for a message from a marginal star field to be sent back to the parent star. The descendants of the original pioneers have seen either the internal structure of the space base or the alien landscape since they were born. For them, the parent star is too far away, and it is simply a legend. Between different planets, because of natural differences in resources, there is a gap between the rich and the poor. There are some abandoned resource stars, and the people above are struggling to survive every day. Others, on the other hand, have grown far beyond their parent star. With the help of massive wealth, they established their own star fleet, and their combat power even began to approach the parent star fleet.
2710, the first wave of interstellar separation in human history appeared, the parent star's control over each star domain completely collapsed, and each colony star declared independence one after another. In 2715, the mother star fleet began its first expedition. The enemy was not aliens, but other humans living in the alien domain. In 2730, the mother star fleet and the Outer Domain Alliance fought a decisive battle in the outer space of Wuxu Star, and ultimately both lost, and the mother star government was forced to recognize the Outer Domain Alliance as a legitimate regime equal to itself.
For the next hundred years, the unwilling to fail the home star coalition government and the Outland Alliance have repeatedly fought, and the war has spread to countless star regions. The heavy burden of war finally pushed both sides to the extreme. The home planet coalition government and the Outer Domain Alliance disintegrated one after another. Humanity entered an era of division. In the vast star domain, hundreds of governments coexist at most. Many times, a planet with people is a government. .
After the chaos, there is great governance. After endless war suffering, people finally discovered the value of traditions and beliefs. As a result, the tide of retro and root-seeking swept the entire human race, and the mother planet became a common holy place for all human beings again.
The values of cultures and religions that have appeared before human beings have stepped out of the planetary era have been re-excavated and re-interpreted in the context of the Xinghai era, and then it has been found that even with technological progress to this point, these ancient wisdoms can still guide human thinking, And bring inner peace. In this way, people gathered under the most appealing cultures and beliefs, and gradually formed two kingdoms: the prosperous Tang Dynasty based on the traditional wisdom of the East, and the Anglo-Saxon-Saxon-based on Protestantism and Easternism in the old industrial age. Commonwealth of America, referred to as the Commonwealth of England.
In the face of two behemoths rising side by side, many small forces located in the marginal star regions had to unite to form a pan-star region community. The Community is a loose alliance, and loose access conditions have attracted many independent forces. Basically, as long as you send a statement to join, you can become a member of the community. Because of the large number of members, the strength of the community is also growing, at least on paper the strength is not much different from that of the dynasty and the federation.
In the gap between the three major forces, there are still many small forces struggling to survive. In the vast star field, star thieves are naturally raging. In this way, human beings continue to develop in the war and disputes, and their footprints continue to extend far into the distance, bringing one star after another into the sphere of influence.
Strangely enough, until today, human beings have not encountered alien races with high intelligence, or even species that can be called intelligent races. In the vast sea of stars, is it true that human beings are really the darlings of the universe and have come to the forefront of all intelligent races? Or maybe the universe is too huge, and the place where humans set foot is only a negligible small part of the entire universe. We haven't encountered alien races simply because we haven't gone far enough.
The two views are incompatible with each other, each has numerous supporters, and has been arguing for seven hundred years. The Xinzheng Kingdom is also based on the Chinese civilization as the cornerstone of the country. It is located on the edge of human territory. At present, it has only five human planets, two of which are frontier planets that can barely maintain a limited survival.
Xinzheng Kingdom is one of the many vassal states of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In fact, it has the responsibility of guarding the frontier. First, it defends against unknown races outside the region, secondly, it defends the British Federation and the Pan-Star Community, and thirdly, it defends against star thieves and various wandering forces. As a small frontier force, Xinzheng lags far behind the core star domain of the dynasty in terms of technology and economic and military strength. For the vassal forces, the prosperous Tang Dynasty will allocate a certain amount of subsidies every few years to enhance the strength of the subordinates. For a small country like Xinzheng, subsidies from the dynasty were the key to survival and prosperity.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty promoted martial arts and established the country with martial arts. The annual year-end small performances and the big martial arts performances every five years are the important basis for determining the amount of subsidies to be distributed in the next five-year cycle. Because of this, Xin Zheng attaches great importance to the opportunity to participate in the big performance and looks forward to a good performance.
It's just that Xinzheng's national power has declined recently, and the talents have withered. For eight consecutive years, he has not been qualified to participate in the big and small martial arts. Seeing this, Chu Jungui finally understood why there were casualties in the battle for survival, but from Qin Yi to ordinary students, they were all elated. Even in the big event of privately opening a bar on a transport ship and gathering people to drink, Meng Jianghu turned a blind eye. After all, regaining the qualifications to participate in the big show is more important than anything else.
Shenzhen Business School is indeed as Meng Jianghu said, it is the top university in Xinzheng, unparalleled. This college has a long history, even longer than the history of Xinzheng. When the academy was founded, the human star sea navigation technology was not yet perfect, and the curvature engine was only a concept, and even the blueprint did not appear.
The original founder of the academy came to Xinzheng, which had just been discovered at the time, after a long frozen voyage. He knew that he had no hope of returning to his home planet in this life. He occasionally read the verse "If you don't meet each other in life, you are moving like participating in business". Intentionally, the school was named the School of Business.
Today, the School of Business has become a behemoth in Xinzheng. It has all disciplines ranging from individual combat in planetary to space fleet warfare. It also offers a number of courses from light weapons to space battleship design. It has various research institutes. There are more than ten, and there are two affiliated bases and an outer space base.
Shenzhen Business School is not so much a military school as it is a military-industrial science and education complex.
