I am a great scientist

Chapter 437 Clairvoyance
The news venue was full of heat.

The magnificent construction scene of Sky City on the holographic screen made the audience excited.

Xie Liwu showed a smile, and continued to introduce: "The main purpose of Shining Star Group to establish Sky City is to build spaceships, provide a stable resource supply for space docks, supply manpower, and materials. Therefore, we are starting Sky City At the same time as the project, the spaceship project is also in the foundation stage, and our group is actively preparing for the spaceship project, please look at the screen."

After finishing speaking, Xie Liwu waved his hand, and the picture on the holographic screen in front of him changed.

I saw that more than [-] models of spaceship models suddenly appeared on the three-dimensional holographic screen. There are four sizes: small, small, medium, large, and large. They have strange appearances, some are flat, some are elliptical, and some are like There are many models of felt hats, and they are arranged in an orderly manner on the three-dimensional holographic screen.

Xie Liwu looked at the auditorium and introduced with a smile: "Except for the Panshi mothership, these transport ships, mining ships, attack ships, ... are all classic hulls selected from 'Civilization and War'. The structure of the spaceship is extremely They are complex and cumbersome to design, and there is still a lot of very complicated work to do if we want to come up with real design drawings, but as long as we work together, I believe that in the near future, we will be able to make them."

The many sci-fi space battleships caught the eyes of the reporters in the audience, and the cameras in their hands "clicked" and "clicked" to take pictures non-stop.

Xie Liwu's introduction was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts heavily. At this time, the hearts of the audience all over the world collectively beat violently.

The Shining Star Group suddenly held a press conference. Everyone was fully prepared for the upcoming surprise, but they were still frightened by the big move of the Shining Star Group.

Although Zhou Xing did not come to the stage in person at this press conference, and there was no refreshing new product announcement, Xie Liwu introduced the construction progress of Sky City and Shining Star Group's future development in the aerospace field, which immediately caught his attention. everyone's heart.

The Shining Star Group is almost doing its best to develop into space, the action is too big and too fast.

Audiences from all over the world cheered again when they heard the news. There were celebration parades all over the world. They seemed to be celebrating a major festival. All kinds of 'spaceships' cheered.

At this moment, people all over the world no longer have the concept of a country. Shining Star Group belongs to all mankind, and it no longer belongs to a certain country.

At this time, people's call for the establishment of a human federation became stronger. Shining Star Group has developed a whole-person city for all mankind. There is no discrimination, no national-style immigration requirements, and a sci-fi city like heaven, with its doors open to welcome Excellent talents, all of a sudden, the city in the sky has become the location that human beings yearn for.

Upon receiving this news suddenly, the faces of the heads of state who were worried about the formation of the 'Federation of Humanity' all changed. Shining Star Group is going to 'drive them out'!unacceptable.

Once the city in the sky is successfully established, it will inevitably become the center of the world and a sacred place that mankind yearns for. The speed and scope of population flow will be greatly increased accordingly.

The construction project of the 'Panshi' will involve all human beings. Such a huge project has enormous influence, and the crown of ruling all mankind will immediately be worn by the Shining Star Group that leads this project. Where will they go?

With Shining Star Group's current influence, it must have been Zhou Xing's order to announce the construction progress of the 'City of the Sky' at this time. Otherwise, why would it choose this time to make an announcement.

Even if the governments of various countries want to establish a human federation, they cannot do without the Shining Star Group. Bringing more than 200 countries together to form a world-class regime can never be achieved by only relying on wrangling at the meeting and not bringing out something from the century. , no country has such influence as Shining Star Group.

The Shining Star Group's press conference immediately placed a strong demand for the establishment of a human federation in front of the heads of state. The establishment of a human federation has become the consensus of all mankind.

As for how to establish it, how to compromise, how to fight for the interests of their own country, and when to establish it, all the heads of state must come up with results as soon as possible.

If the human federation wants to establish and operate stably, it must smooth out the interests of more than 200 countries, and digest the disputes and contradictions between countries. The problems involved are too terrifying, except No force in the Shining Star Group can do it, and only the Shining Star Group can balance the interests of all countries.

Substantial progress was made immediately on the issue of establishing a human federation. Correspondingly, representatives of the Shining Star Group were also invited by the heads of state to attend the establishment meeting of a similar federation.

At the Human Federation Establishment Conference, the Shining Star Group was officially recognized by the heads of state. The influence of the Shining Star Group is indispensable for the stable establishment of the Human Federation. Zhou Wenhai, Yang Minghua and others were invited to sit in important positions in the Federation Conference Heads of state sit on equal footing.

The establishment conference of the Human Federation has attracted wide attention since its inception. Now that there is a formal plan, everyone is anxiously waiting for the establishment of the unified earth government.

Time flies, the Sky City construction project is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the establishment of the Human Federation is the most critical stage of power division.

Zhou Xing, who was used to throwing his hands away as a shopkeeper, continued to focus on his research projects.

After nearly a year of rapid manufacturing, the space version of the tunnel astronomical telescope has been transported to space by the "Xingyao" and has completed assembly and debugging.

After the completion of the space satellite monitoring center, it has entered the busy work. The atmosphere in the control hall is dignified, and the quiet needle drop can be heard. All the scientific researchers are sitting nervously in front of the computer displaying various instrument data, watching closely. Follow the monitoring data sent back by the space communication satellite.

The tunnel astronomical telescope "Clairvoyance" is preparing to try the first ultra-long-distance detection work, and the researchers on site are busy checking the data of the instrument.

"Boss, all preparations are ready and we can start." Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xing.

"Well, Xiaozhi, how far should we go?" Zhou Xing asked nervously, staring at the monitor screen.

"Boss, it's the first time to try out the space astronomical telescope. It is recommended to observe nearby." Zhou Xiaozhi replied.

"Okay, adjust the direction and aim at Alpha Centauri." Zhou Xing nodded and ordered.

"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi complied, and immediately turned around to look at the console to implement it. Soon, a group of quantum signals flew out into the sky.

In the distant space, the nearly [-]-meter-long body of the slow-moving "Clairvoyance" releases jets from air holes, fine-tuning the body, and the cylinder is facing the direction of Alpha Centauri.

Zhou Xing looked directly at the monitor screen, watched the 'Clairvoyance' adjust, and couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Boss, the target is locked, we can start." Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xinghui.

Hearing this, all the researchers in the monitoring room held their breath together, waiting for Zhou Xing's order.

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to humans, but it has a distance of 4.25 light-years, that is, it takes a long distance of 4.25 Earth years to travel at the speed of light. For generations, scientists and astronomers have been thinking about whether it will Having a planetary system like our own sun, and whether life exists there too, however, the great distances have hindered human observation of this galaxy.

Due to the closest distance to the solar system, humans have studied the Alpha Centauri star in the most detail. It has been confirmed that the Alpha Centauri star system is a three-star system, which contains two very close stars (Centaurus A and B) and one A distant companion star (Proxima Centauri).A rocky exoplanet orbiting Proxima Centauri may well be a habitable planet, according to the recent search for a rocky exoplanet orbiting Proxima Centauri.

This planet has about the same mass as the Earth, and its orbital distance (the distance from the central star) is also within the "habitable zone". If a planet with liquid water on the surface can be found in the "habitable zone", then life may exist.

Proxima Centauri was discovered a century ago. Countless astronomers have tried to understand its motion, but red dwarfs are much smaller and weaker than our sun in mass and luminosity, making them so dimmer that the task is complicated and difficult.

Now, the "Clairvoyance" is about to start. Does that planet have alien life, is it suitable for human migration, and what is the situation in that galaxy?How do the three stars work? ..., everything will be revealed, and all the researchers on site are extremely nervous.

Zhou Xing stared at the monitor screen, nodded solemnly and said, "Activate Clairvoyance immediately."

"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi complied. Immediately, the 'Clairvoyance' on the holographic screen trembled, and the red glow shone. Soon, a vast energy projected out, and instantly disappeared in the space not far ahead.

Vaguely, a black hole was opened by vast energy, and disappeared in an instant.

"Boss, the detection was successful, and the clairvoyance took pictures." Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen, and nodded with joy: "I saw it, I saw it!"

The holographic screen presents a strange galaxy, three moving stars, the main star Alpha Centauri A: has the same brightness as the sun, the main star Alpha Centauri B: this star is a companion star of the main star Alpha Centauri A , located at a distance of 13.8 arc seconds from α star, the two stars rotate around each other as the center, the main star α Centauri C: also known as Proxima Centauri, is the third star position of this star system, a red dwarf star, There are several planets around each star, and the whole galaxy presents a peculiar structure.

With a sound of "crash", the scientific researchers suddenly stood up and stared at the holographic screen, and the monitoring laboratory suddenly became a mess.

"It worked, we made it! It's unbelievable!"

"My God! They are so beautiful, so they have so many planets around them!"

"They're so beautiful, how they came to form this structure, it's really beautiful."

"..."

The scientific researchers looked at the holographic screen, their faces were full of intoxication, and they couldn't help shouting, looking extremely excited.

Zhou Xiaozhi reported to Zhou Xinghui: "Boss, the parameters have been analyzed. This galaxy has a total of 37 planets, and none of them is suitable for human life."

"Well, I saw it!" Zhou Xing sighed.

The Alpha Centauri galaxy is a three-body galaxy. The so-called three-body galaxy means that there are three suns in this star system.These three stars are respectively named Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B and Alpha Centauri C, among which A and B are relatively close to each other, forming a binary star system, while C is farther away Gravitational interactions are associated with this binary star system.

The system of three suns is a chaotic and terrifying world. The gravitational force generated by the movement of celestial bodies will cause chaotic changes in the gravitational force of all the planets. Their motion laws are irregular at all, and life on earth will definitely not be able to adapt to this gravitational environment.

Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, looked at Zhou Xing and asked, "Boss, do you want to continue testing other galaxies?"

"Well, let's continue!" Zhou Xing nodded.

"Okay, boss! Next, which galaxy are we going to explore?" Zhou Xiaozhi obeyed and asked.

"Screen it! Screen out a planet that is most likely to have water resources." Zhou Xing thought for a while and ordered Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Boss, I suggest observing Kepler-186F first. This is a red dwarf star about 500 light years away from the earth. There are 5 planets in this galaxy, of which Kepler-186F is the outermost planet. Judging from its distance, it is just outside the habitable zone that can hold liquid water." Zhou Xiaozhi suggested to Zhou Xing.

"500 light years, it's a bit far away, change to something closer." Zhou Xing frowned.

500 light-years means that even if humans develop a light-speed spacecraft and want to emigrate to that planet, it will take 500 years on the road, and countless accidents are likely to occur in the long distance.

"Boss, how about changing to TRAPPIST-1, which is 40 light-years away from the earth, and currently observes 7 planets, three of which are in the 'habitable zone'." Zhou Xiaozhi nodded and replied to Zhou Xing.

"Well, this distance is about the same! That's it." Zhou Xing nodded with a smile.

Since modern times, with the vigorous development of science and technology, human beings have made many achievements in the field of astronomy, especially the observation of exoplanets to find planets suitable for human survival, which has reduced a lot of effort for the observation operations of the "Clairvoyance".

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi complied, and immediately sent a command signal to the sky, and the "Clairvoyance" in space adjusted its body and aimed at another galaxy.

There are more than 2000 billion stars in the Milky Way, and there are countless planets orbiting the stars. It is not impossible to find a planet similar to the earth among so many stars.
