Chapter 319 Matt Flight
Before setting off again, it took about two years for Yun Xinghe and the others to remodel the Feitian from the beginning to the end.

Mainly using the "weight reduction" feature of the pumice stone element, a large number of miniature "floating balls" are installed inside the Feitian. One floating ball can eliminate the mass of a 10 cubic meter space, and the interior of the Feitian is uniformly 1 pieces were installed, achieving a weight reduction of 85%.

Only the power cabin and the crew living quarters are not covered by the "reduction field" because they cannot be without mass.

However, when Feitian reaches its maximum speed and the crew enters a long dormant state, the distribution of "floating balls" inside the spacecraft will change, and the area occupied by the de-weighting field will become larger, and the spacecraft will achieve a weight loss of 97%.

In addition, the defense system of the Feitian, under the condition of ultra-high flight speed, the force field alloy on the surface of the spacecraft was originally difficult to withstand the impact of high-density matter, but the "degravity field" of the floating ball and the electromagnetic field of the force field alloy After overlapping, even if Feitian is sailing at a speed close to the speed of light, it is not afraid of being hit by some low-density matter.

Because things without mass collide, they will be like photons bouncing on a glass mirror. There is no momentum balance, and high-speed particles will only be directly bounced by a high-strength force field when they are about to approach the surface of Feitian.

Therefore, when the Feitian sails at a faster speed, as long as it does not encounter a large meteorite, there is no need to worry about particle collisions at all.

Even if he broke into the huge stormy nebula, he wouldn't be afraid of being blown up and down.

Even, even if you are close to some massive black holes, you won't worry about being sucked in and unable to get out.

Gravity is the source of all interstellar disasters, without gravity, everything is beautiful.

After the renovation of Feitian was completed and a large number of supplies were replenished, on the 22nd, it set sail again!

The target this time is 55 light-years away, a dark corner with no light, an unknown galaxy with its stars obscured.

Yun Xinghe called it "hidden civilization".

The other crew members felt very strange. How could the captain be so sure that there must be a hidden civilization in that dark and mysterious corner?

What if there was a black hole, or an extinct star?
You know, to completely cover up the light and heat radiated by an entire star is a technology that even the Blue Star Federation has not fully mastered, or in other words, it is not impossible, but with such a huge amount of energy, the Federation does not Know how to use it.

Yun Xinghe said: "The Milky Way is a self-rotating body. On the six huge cantilevers, the distribution of stars is quite uniform. Generally, there must be a star system every four or five light-years, and the stars in this place have disappeared too much. Suddenly, like a dent suddenly appeared on the flat ground."

"In addition, according to the gravitational fluctuation data and the offset of starlight, there must be something here. If it is not a black hole, it must be a hidden civilization!"

Belekov also nodded and said, "I've done the calculations, and there should indeed be a star, uh, or black hole in this place."

"It's okay if it's a black hole. The scientists of the Federation haven't done much research on black holes. We can go over and help with some scientific experiments."

"But if it's a hidden civilization..."

"Civilizations that can cover the stars to the point that they don't reveal a gleam of light have a higher technological level than the Federation, but they will never be worse. If we get close to them, they will regard us as enemies..."

Lan Xiulong said with concern on his face: "We have to be prepared to run away at any time."

"We are just interstellar explorers, not federal diplomats. If there really exists a higher civilization, a Feitian, I'm afraid it won't be able to handle it with the few of us."

Sugaru said, and made a suggestion: "It's better to change the target and go to those galaxies without people."

"No!"

Yun Xinghe shook his head: "To some extent, we are both interstellar pioneers and civilization diplomats. If we don't try to deal with various civilizations and try to dispel their doubts, our subsequent pioneering activities will , will definitely be disturbed, and will even leave huge hidden dangers... We must ensure that the places we walk are all safe places. If it is not safe, we have to make this road flat and safe. In addition to finding a habitable planet, another mission."

"As interstellar pioneers, we will encounter alien civilizations sooner or later. It is impossible to bury our heads and ignore them. We must learn to deal with them."

The crowd nodded.

Yun Xinghe smiled slightly. This principle was actually what he learned from the course "Cosmic Diplomacy" in the Academy of Astronautics, and he just followed the script.

In fact, dealing with advanced civilizations without knowing the moral standards and good or evil of the other party is a matter of good or bad luck. Cosmic dark scientists have put forward a point of view: when dealing with strange civilizations, the first thing to do , It is necessary to hide yourself and expose less information about yourself. The more you expose, the closer you are to danger.

"This is actually a persecuted paranoid statement, which is somewhat similar to the so-called chain of suspicion, that is, seeing everything around you as malicious, unfriendly, and incommunicable. In fact, if all civilizations follow these dark According to the law, the first planet to be promoted to a higher civilization has long ruled the entire galaxy."

"These theories are logically correct, but there is a fatal loophole: they only see the external competition, but ignore the internal self-competition. If the interior of civilization also follows these dark logics, more than 90% of civilizations will Before destroying other civilizations, destroy yourself first, because these logics are also applicable to your companions to a certain extent. Just like the world wars that have occurred many times in history, resources are limited. If you want to master everything, you must Get rid of those malicious ones first."

"But if a civilization wants to go to the interstellar, it must first put aside conflicts and differences, negotiate to solve problems, abandon destructive wars, and use resources in a unified way..."

"Similarly, why can't they trust other civilizations the same way they trust their companions, and try to get along with them?"

"The universe is very big. If you can't set your horizons to the same size, these people will die because of their own narrowness sooner or later."

Yun Xinghe still remembers these words of the teacher of "Cosmic Diplomacy" deeply.

In addition, the grandfather in his mind also introduced to him the hidden civilization 55 light-years away. The science and technology of this civilization has indeed developed to a very astonishing level.

After the probe spacecraft in another parallel space broke into this galaxy by mistake, the spacecraft was quickly destroyed by a group of advanced devices sent by the civilization, and all the explorers on board were captured. , that wise captain, in the process of negotiating with the high level of this civilization, used his theory to completely defeat the other party's "dark forest" theory, made the other party realize everything, and released them. Commonwealth, established formal diplomatic relations.

And this has also become a very classic case in the history of interstellar diplomacy of the Blue Star Federation. Although the wise captain did not find a few livable galaxies for humans, he has also become one of the top ten in the history of the Federation's 2500-year interstellar development. One of the outstanding pioneers, forever in the annals of history.

With Feitian's current defense power and high-speed escape ability, it is not afraid of the opponent's advanced equipment.

This is why Yun Xinghe insisted on going to this hidden galaxy.

……

everything's ready!
"Increase the power of the material reactor!"

"The main engine starts!"

"Start accelerating!"

The azure blue flame of the engine at the tail of the Feitian was extremely dazzling. Of the three main engines, only one was started at full power.

Even if there is only one, under the huge thrust, the Feitian, which is as light as a feather, continues to accelerate at an acceleration close to 10G, and lasts for hundreds of hours with few interruptions.

0.1C, 0.2C, 0.3C...

Ignoring the impact of matter, within the influence range of the star system, the speed of Feitian accelerated to 0.85C.

Afterwards, the main engine was shut down and entered the stage of interstellar roaming.

Bridge control hall.

"Now the speed of the spacecraft is 0.85C, and the time has expanded by 1.898 times. It will take us about 64 years to reach the destination. In fact, we only need to stay on the spacecraft for 34 years to reach the shaded galaxy." Lan Xiulong said.

"It's only been more than 160 years. We shouldn't have to enter the dormant cabin, right? It will pass soon." Sugaru said, the feeling of just getting out of dormancy after the [-]-year experience of lying in the dormant cabin last time, Let him feel that it is better not to sleep.

"What can we do without sleeping? Play poker, watch movies, or play games?" Yun Qiaoqiao asked, holding her cheeks.

"I prefer to play games, shooting games." Gu Fan clasped his hands.

"It's a pity that we can't observe the starry sky outside the spacecraft, otherwise we can observe some magical astronomical phenomena." Xianglan Mikoto, who likes astronomy very much, said.

The Feitian is flying at a sub-light speed. At this speed, even though the spacecraft can receive some starlight, because the speed is too fast, these starlights are in a strangely elongated state, just like running on a highway composed of light. If the speed of the spaceship is faster, it is estimated that no stars around can be seen, only countless lights can be seen flying or retreating. This spaceship is also moving forward rapidly as if in a channel of light.

"Everyone go to the dormant cabin to sleep for 30 years, 30 years is long enough, don't spend it in boring play."

In Yunxing River Road, sleeping is not good for the body, but if you don't sleep, you will be super boring, and there is no benefit.

"Oh~"

Everyone responded feebly, and walked towards the dorm room reluctantly.
