Half-immortal civilization

In the 91st year of the Imperial Calendar, after 14 years of development, whether it is Venus, Earth, or Mars, they have all entered a new stage.At the same time, Zhang Wenliang abdicated and went to enjoy his own life. After sitting in the position of emperor for 72 Venus years, he has no interest in the "profession" of emperor.Zhang Wenfeng (the new son of Zhang Jingyuan and Feng Xuezhi) came to the throne at the age of 30 at the age of the empire.

In the first ten years on Mars, making Mars a paradise, its political means should not be underestimated.After taking over the position of the emperor, through a series of changes, especially the further opening up of the scientific research environment, the development of the empire has been brought to a higher level.Of course, openness is openness, and some things still cannot be let go, such as: complete machine intelligence research!

At the same time, Zhang Yuanguang, Zhang Chengye's grandson, ascended to the position of Mars Governor after frenzied competition. It can be said that he will be the next emperor of the empire.Now Zhang Jingyuan’s boss has descendants in groups, and those who are capable of succeeding to the throne are counted in hundreds. Zhang Yuanguang, who has broken through the siege under such an environment, is amazing at Zhang Jingyuan’s ability.

And in these years, human society has also advanced by leaps and bounds, firmly advancing towards the road of interstellar civilization.

First, on the earth, after several disobedient organizations, religions, and ethnic groups were ruthlessly rectified with iron fists, the environment on the earth finally recovered and began to develop at a high speed.After all, the earth has a profound foundation, which is not comparable to that of Venus and Mars.Therefore, after the social environment changed, powerful forces broke out, and its technological development and social progress advanced by leaps and bounds.Today, on Earth.Already have their own spaceship technology - although it is said that the support from the Chinese Empire is indispensable, but after all, it has been digested and absorbed, and it is also very good to master it and form a group of core scientists.

Second, on Venus today, not only has the essence taken away by the Civilization spacecraft been completely restored, but it is also more advanced and developed.Just in line with the so-called old saying that if you don’t get rid of the old, you won’t get the new. Older equipment, etc., after being cruelly discarded, actually promoted the upgrading and transformation of society.virtually.The negative influence at the beginning has now turned into a driving force to promote social progress!People are constantly pursuing innovation, pursuing progress, and pursuing leading this era!
third.Mars has now become a water park, worthy of the name, it should be called "Mercury"; and Mars is also a freshwater ocean-this makes the salt sellers on the earth rich!The 70-year salt mine property rights purchased by the empire on the earth have long expired, and now they have to buy it directly from the republic; although the republic dare not slaughter people.But there are not a few who make a fortune from it.

The average ocean depth on Mars is as high as 1300 meters.In such an ocean.Lives a large number of creatures.Especially with the launch of plant island technology, Mars has become an ocean of life.The reflectors placed in the orbit of Venus supplement enough light for Mars; making Mars far away from the sun.There is still plenty of light.

But in this thriving environment, the Huaxia Empire is planning the next immigration plan! More than 20 years later, the second spacecraft has also entered the acceptance stage.This spaceship is another innovative collection of imperial technology!

With a length of 230 kilometers and a diameter of 80 kilometers, the solar sail adopts folding technology, and its unfolded diameter is as high as more than 2000 kilometers. Its unfolded area reaches 320 million square kilometers; even the effective area exceeds 310 million square kilometers.The development of science and technology has made today's human society unimaginable a hundred years ago.In order to propel the spacecraft, create a 320 million square kilometers solar sail! 320 million square kilometers, which is really one-third of the land area of ​​Huaxia back then! ! !

In order to build this second-generation spaceship, the empire dragged back three asteroids with a diameter of 500 kilometers from the outer solar system, and only after melting them did they extract enough metal resources.And the weight of the spacecraft itself is 800 trillion tons.If according to the design, various sealed factories, materials, personnel, etc. are moved, the lifting capacity is estimated to exceed 1000 trillion tons!This is due to the extensive use of new lightweight materials.

Because of the use of the latest technology, the solar sail's bearing capacity and temperature resistance have been greatly improved, and it can withstand a million times the earth's standard illumination (the light pressure near the earth is about 480 kilograms per square kilometer).Of course, due to nearly 100% reflection, the temperature of the solar sail is not particularly high, and the thrust has increased a lot.Therefore, the solar sail alone can provide up to 3.2 trillion tons of thrust for the spacecraft.Converted to the spacecraft, it can provide the spacecraft with an acceleration of 0.032 meters per second.This acceleration is far less than that of the first spaceship Civilization—this is because this spaceship is too large, and in order to support its volume, the amount of metal has to be increased!Even if it is light metal, it is not easy to use too much.

230 kilometers in length, plus the main structure is mainly a metal body, and its mass is almost close to the fluid self-balance point of the celestial body-the so-called fluid self-balance point of the celestial body means that after reaching a certain point, the celestial body will automatically collapse and change to a spherical shape .Therefore, to build a 230-kilometer-long spacecraft, its keel technology really exists like a pillar of the sky. The pressure it bears can almost push Mount Everest out of the earth!

Its technology is so advanced that the earth, which has just mastered the spaceship technology, can only look at the ocean and sigh.In fact, today's spaceship technology on Earth, even regardless of the cost, can only be built up to 50 kilometers - any bigger, it will not be able to withstand its own gravity, and it will collapse.It's not that the celestial body will collapse only when it reaches a diameter of 500 kilometers (rock texture). In fact, even a centimeter in diameter will collapse, but it's too small. With a length of 50 kilometers, the pressure per square meter at the center of the keel is as high as 20 tons!Enough to make ordinary metals crumble and atomic bonds break!Under such pressure, ordinary metal would loosen like sand.

In addition, the Empire's engine technology has also made innovations and breakthroughs.The Gendan-500 multi-shaft combined engine can provide a thrust of 50 million tons. One engine is 200 meters high and [-] meters long!It's a real monster, just in the testing process.In order to start an engine, it would have to equip itself with a small nuclear fission reactor!And the experiment process is not dared to put it on the ground, it can only be tested in space!
The cost of this engine alone is as high as 5000 million imperial coins!This is not the banknote that was depreciated so badly at the beginning, but the imperial currency of real hard currency!And such engines are installed on the new generation of spaceships with a total of 4000 million!With full power turned on, it can provide the spacecraft with an acceleration of 2 meters per second.

Such a spaceship is already close to the limit of the empire.A total of 1500 latest nuclear fusion reactors are placed inside the spacecraft, just to provide energy for this spacecraft and these engines!
The wealth accumulated by the empire with great difficulty.Almost all of it was spent on the construction of spaceships.But this is unavoidable in modern times.Human beings cannot stop their steps, otherwise a tragic fate will befall them.In today's empire, many people believe that the universe is also a world under the law of the jungle.Law of the jungle.The strong never show mercy to the weak!But the peaceful environment stayed for a long time.Still some people think that the universe should be filled with peace.

Thought is the key to the development of a society!Therefore, the empire must unify its thinking!Only the mind is right.Society will move forward at a high speed.

"Boom..." The ground was trampled, and the dignitaries of the empire attended one by one.These dignitaries are mainly the new generation, the so-called emperor and courtiers. With Zhang Wenliang's abdication, many old people have chosen to go home for the elderly. Anyway, these days, everyone has practiced a lot, and everyone is an old turtle level.After serving as an official for decades, he began to enjoy life and pursue longevity.After decades of participating in politics, I am also very tired.

Zhang Wenfeng sat in the first place, looked at the dignified officials, and nodded in satisfaction.Although the rights of the emperor are limited, the emperor is the emperor, whether it is Venus or Mars, the ownership belongs to the imperial family.But for practitioners, the wealth of a planet is nothing, longevity is the most important thing.Therefore, the management of the empire, etc., is very loose.Although it is an empire, for ordinary citizens, this is a democratic society.

"Good morning, everyone."

"Hello, Your Majesty." Among these officials, there were quite a few of Zhang Wenfeng's former classmates.

"Ha, don't be so polite. Today we mainly strengthen our thinking. I know that too many people have opinions and don't understand about human expeditions, occupation of other planets, and extermination of indigenous people.

I saw that on the Internet, some people said: We are so cruel, does it hurt the peace of heaven.

Some people also say that if we are so cruel, if we are discovered by a powerful and peaceful civilization in the universe, will we be destroyed or even wiped out from the universe?

Some people even said: Chinese civilization has loved peace since ancient times and is a country of etiquette. We cannot be so barbaric.

I even saw on the Internet that we managers are a mess of brains.

Ha, I wonder if you have seen these remarks? "

Although Zhang Wenfeng was smiling on the surface, the cold light in his eyes told everyone present that I am not satisfied!
"Your Majesty, I also feel that we can coexist peacefully with these civilizations?" A female official stood up, "I am Li Lize who is in charge of culture and education.

As we all know, Chinese civilization has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. I have always advocated peaceful coexistence in formulating and reviewing education.

First of all, it is indeed a bit barbaric for us to take the initiative to attack others and go against civilization.

Secondly, it is roughly estimated that there should be more than 900 powerful civilizations in the Milky Way alone.These civilizations have been developed for tens of thousands of years.If a civilization knows our behavior like this, it is very likely that we will be wiped out.I don't think anyone wants their neighbor to be a brutal murderer!

Third, there are still a majority of people who love peace among the people, and people also hope for a peaceful environment.Such an expedition not only made ordinary citizens panic, but also caused great harm to the empire.At that time, the Civilization spacecraft almost exhausted the wealth of the empire, and even took away a large number of imperial elites.And now, if [-] million people are really taken away, at least the development of the empire can be stagnated for decades!
And I have seen that the empire is now fully capable of transforming planets in the solar system.For example, on the orbit of Pluto, oh, the former Pluto, 100 celestial bodies as large as the earth can be placed without conflict.at this place.We can use reflectors to gather sunlight and provide sufficient light for the planet here to accommodate human beings.

According to a rough estimate, the solar system itself can transform at least tens of thousands of planets, and the sun's light and heat are also sufficient.There are plenty of celestial bodies in outer space, such as the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud.There are hundreds of thousands of frozen celestial bodies that are larger than the size of the Earth; and millions of celestial bodies with a diameter greater than [-] kilometers.

Therefore, I think.For now.Human beings should concentrate on developing themselves, make the solar system our base camp, build a super civilization, and build ourselves into a powerful and friendly civilization.

My speech is over. "

Zhang Wenfeng looked at Li Lize.His eyes flickered slightly.Because it makes sense too!Although there are some negative thoughts in it.But I have to say that this is indeed the idea of ​​​​a large number of people.There are too many people like this, and this idea also occupies a certain amount of network space.Make the empire impossible to ignore.

And this time, the reason why Zhang Wenfeng held this thought conference was not only because the new officials took office, but also because such ideas had already received widespread support in society—ordinary people, after all, still like peace.I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times!This kind of thinking has always occupied the mainstream position among ordinary people.

"I have something to say." A man who appeared to be in his 30s stood up.In fact, because of cultivation and the advancement of life science and technology, you can no longer judge the age of a human being from his appearance.

"I am Wang Hao, the deputy director of the Imperial Military Staff Department.

I disagree with Minister Li on a few points.

First of all, I have my doubts about your position as Minister of Education.People say, use history as a mirror to guide current development.But why, as the Minister of Education, you can make such remarks!Have you forgotten the history of Huaxia?

Since the history of China has been recorded, we have not been a peaceful society!I read through the history of China and found that it is a bloody war history!On average, there is a battle of 10 people every three years-this is a war of 10 people in ancient times!From the legend of Chinese civilization, we have had the Yanhuang struggle for hegemony, since the Xia Dynasty, we have the invasion of the northern Qiang Rong, and since the Zhou Dynasty, rebellion has been popular; the Western Zhou Dynasty was completely chaotic.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, we have been fighting and fighting!

The strength of the Han Dynasty was bought with the blood of soldiers.When Zhang Qian went west, only 30 of the 3000 people returned. They defended our living space with their lives.

Only when the Song Dynasty began, the literati system was implemented, and the Chinese civilization was almost cut off.In the Qing Dynasty, another "Measure China's material resources and unite the country's favor" came to the Chinese civilization, which almost destroyed it!

Our ancestors have proved with their blood and lives that there is only war among civilizations, and there is no peace.The so-called peace is a stage of testing each other and preparing for the final war!

If you are not convinced, look at world history again!
Throughout the history of all civilizations on the earth, whether ancient or modern, loving peace means weakness and death!Look at the earth now, is it peaceful?Hey!It is said that the earth government is implementing a new policy to eliminate the cultures of other races and global Sinicization!Come and tell me, if we like peace, then thousands of years later, will we be like Africans today, first conquered by English, Spanish and other languages, and then learning Chinese.It is said that if you don’t know Chinese, you can’t even find a job!

There has never been peace in the world. The so-called peace is just a coat!You, the Minister of Education, are superstitious about peace!I don't know how to evaluate it, but I think you are not suitable for the position of Minister of Education, you are more suitable for the position of Minister of Civil Affairs!Well, the positions of the two are almost the same, you can transfer them there! "

"You..." Li Lize pointed at Wang Hao, speechless.

The 90-year development of the empire has made the society sober. Under such an environment, there has been a trend of "telling the truth" in society. What is said is not beat around the bush, but directly pointed out.There is no good or bad for such a trend for the time being, but at present, the society is clearer; this is a good phenomenon.But now, this trend has blown into everyone's heart, even here, they are all talking like this directly.The new generation of these empires have completely different thoughts and behaviors from the previous earth.

But this kind of speech is directly effective, and there is no need to guess, which eventually leads to harming the country and the people. It is also a benefit that can be seen now.

Wang Hao's words won the support of the hardliners.Yes, since ancient times, every time Huaxia likes peace, it will be ravaged!On the contrary, the Han and Tang dynasties continued to attack the outside world, and as a result, they won the praise of foreigners... Although this caused a lot of casualties, in fact, history has proved with blood that more deaths are caused by weakness!The Song Dynasty was almost killed!

The reality of society constantly tells us that this is the real society.Between civilizations, the so-called peace is just a "fake skin" on the surface when the forces are evenly matched. In fact, under this skin, there is a constant game!Until one side feels that victory is in sight, it will attack brazenly!
"I also have something to say," a white-haired old man raised his hand, "I am Xing Guilin, director of the Solar System Resources Department of the Imperial Academy of Space Sciences.

Regarding Minister Li Lize's remarks, I would like to make two points.

First, the resources of the solar system are limited after all.According to our current observations, the resources of the solar system can meet the consumption of a trillion people for 1000 years.But what about 1000 years from now?Are we waiting to die?Without expansion, the resources of the solar system are not enough to consume.In fact, the solar system looks huge, but it is too small in the universe.

Second, the light and heat of the sun itself are also limited.Seventy percent of our energy now comes from the sun.Once more planets are built, more sunlight will inevitably be used, leading to disasters in the development of human beings.When resources are insufficient, we cannot guarantee the prosperity of the empire, and resource wars will inevitably occur between planets!

Not to mention, the sun itself has a lifespan!

My speech is: get out!This is the inevitability of human development!If you don't want to be exterminated, you must exterminate others!
Although I am old, old man, I think that within 20 light-years, there should be no other life!
20 light-years is too close. We launch a projectile here and travel at 0.7 times the speed of light, and we can reach it in 29 years.And a projectile at 0.7 times the speed of light is enough to penetrate the planet!
We don't want to suddenly wake up one day and find that our planet has been punctured! !Volcanoes and earthquakes everywhere! ! "

quiet!Xing Guilin's speech made the meeting room strangely quiet.If Wang Hao is looking back at history, then Xing Guilin is looking forward to the future.The speeches of the two pushed the journey of human civilization to a new peak!
Yes, 20 light years is too short, and the current human technology is sufficient to observe and calculate most of the stars within 20 light years.Similarly, under the attack of the super star cannon, the projectile can fly in the space without resistance for 29 years, and then penetrate a planet 20 light-years away!
For the first time, people suddenly realized that the vast universe may not necessarily be able to bring effective defense to mankind!
"Papa," Zhang Wenfeng applauded, followed by applause.

"Now I announce that the next goal of mankind is Gliese. We want to make the 20 light years into the territory of mankind!
In addition, Minister Li Lize, you will be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately.The former Minister of Civil Affairs was transferred to be the Minister of Education.I hope that everyone can lead human beings forward bravely, instead of caring about hands and feet!
Our destiny must and can only be in our own hands! "

"Huh la la la..." There was applause.This is the importance of unifying the mind, letting everyone know the direction of the empire's development is a road of no return with no choice.It's not that the empire likes this way of development, but that it has no choice but to develop like this! (To be continued..)
