The last human in the universe

Chapter 94

After fully verifying the performance of this new type of lens and confirming that it can meet the requirements of the current stage, large-scale manufacturing begins immediately.

In the search for nearby dwarf planets, a single telescope is clearly not enough.In particular, adopting a structure similar to the original Hubble Telescope, so that it can only collect the light of the target it is facing, will have a great impact on the size of the observation area.

If you want to search the entire celestial sphere, you need at least dozens of telescopes.

Therefore, in this space environment far away from any large star body, dozens of crystallization chambers were built at the fastest speed in the place where the telescope was scheduled to be placed. The "seed" was sown and began to grow slowly.

The reason why centralized construction is not adopted, but decentralized construction is because the main lens of the telescope cannot withstand the gravity caused by acceleration and deceleration during the transfer process.It can only be built directly on its intended location.

It took a full year for enough telescopes to be built.Immediately after this, a large-scale search operation began.

Dozens of telescopes divided the areas separately, sweeping the entire celestial sphere without leaving any gaps.

At this moment, the only thing people can pray for is that there are indeed other macroscopic celestial bodies within the range closer to Sedna.Otherwise, no matter how advanced the telescopes made by people are, they are of no use at all.

During this process, a large amount of image data is generated rapidly like a tsunami.Automated analysis systems began to sift through, searching for any signs of new planets.If new planets are screened out, the image data will be sent to astronomers for further investigation and analysis by humans.

On the first day of the search operation, hundreds of new stars were screened out.Unfortunately, most of these stars are distant and dim stars that have not been observed before, and are basically worthless except to enrich the star catalogs made by human civilization.

In this process, it is not without unexpected gains.For example, a red dwarf star that was never known before was discovered in the direction of the constellation Cetus, and it is only 12.6 light-years away from the sun.On a cosmic scale, that's pretty close.

As the search continued into its sixth day, one target came to the fore.

The first batch of screening ruled out the possibility of it being a star.However, since it is not a star, nor is it any known celestial body in the solar system, but it can be captured by a telescope, it must mean that its distance will not be too far away.

Because if it is too far away, the telescope cannot see it.

People were greatly encouraged, and immediately mobilized more observation forces to aim at the star.As a result, various subsequent data were continuously sent back.

In the human government building, the leader's office, and on Zhao Changxing's desk, the secure phone suddenly rang.Zhao Changxing picked it up, and the excited voice of the person in charge of the search reached Zhao Changxing's ears.

"Leader, leader, we have found a new planet! It, it is only 8000 million kilometers away from us, with a diameter of 680 kilometers!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Changxing stood up immediately, and blurted out a good word.

The diameter is 680 kilometers, which is not much smaller than the deep space star.How many resources would exist on such a planet?No matter how little it is, with the current level of human resource consumption, it will be no problem to support it for 20 years, right?

In 20 years, technology may develop again, and another way out may be found.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Changxing walked to the window and looked out at the deserted city.

Because of the resource crisis, various commercial activities have also been seriously affected.Except for work, people can no longer go out without going out.

"This situation will soon be changed."

Zhao Changxing said silently in his heart.

As early as the crystallization method to manufacture telescope lenses has not yet been successful, the construction of a new generation of large-scale industrial spaceships has already been put on the agenda.Its purpose is to carry as many people, machinery, and materials as possible to a new planet, sowing the seeds of industry there.

Now, they have been built and are moored in the dock, ready to go at any time.

When scientists further observed the data related to this planet, the news had already been announced to the society, and at the same time, a large-scale recruitment order had been issued.

Faced with this news, countless people from dozens of space cities spontaneously walked out of their homes and joined the celebration team.

It was a new planet after all!A brand new planet that contains many resources and has never been set foot before!

Human civilization can obtain astronomical amounts of water, endless industrial raw materials, and minerals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron from that planet.The engine of the development of human civilization and industry, when it is difficult to operate due to resource constraints, the addition of this batch of "fuel" will definitely make the engine run smoothly again!

There is simply no better news than this!
Faced with the recruitment order, countless young people enthusiastically signed up, hoping to make contributions to civilization while earning more contribution points.

The distance is so long that it will take more than three years just to sail there?What are you afraid of, take it if you have money.

Stationed there for at least ten years?What are you afraid of, what is the matter of contributing to civilization, what is the point of a longer time.

High risk?may die?

They are almost divided into sub-persons, so why worry about being afraid of death.

The deep space people headed by Xiong Guda also showed great enthusiasm for this expedition.

During this period of time, the deep space people headed by Xiong Guda have always struggled on the front line of industrialization, the hardest and most tiring, and have made outstanding contributions to civilization. Zhao Changxing even made commendations in person several times.

Now, the people in deep space strongly demand that they also participate in this interstellar expedition that is destined to be full of dangers and difficulties.The reason is very simple.

People in deep space have stronger bodies, greater endurance and tolerance than humans.Under extreme conditions, they can even work continuously for days and nights without rest.These characteristics make them undoubtedly more suitable for the work of planet reclamation.

Zhao Changxing finally agreed to the people's request.

The more you pay for civilization, the stronger your sense of identity and belonging to civilization will be.From this point of view, it is also good to let them participate.Of course, Zhao Changxing would not treat them badly.

Including 500 people from deep space, the first batch of people who went to planet 3 to perform the planet reclamation mission was finally set at 8000 people.However, just before they set off, another piece of good news arrived.

A second dwarf planet near Sedna's star has been found.

This planet is 1.2 million kilometers away from Sedna Star, and its diameter is as high as 920 kilometers, which is only slightly smaller than Sedna Star and larger than Deep Space Star.

Needless to say, let's continue to recruit people. During the first batch of recruitment, many people were unsuccessful, and now they are recruiting.

After this, the third planet was discovered.Zhao Changxing had no choice but to expand the number of recruits again.

After that, the fourth and fifth planets were discovered one after another.So Zhao Changxing discovered that now, even if he recruited all the people who signed up before, there would not be enough people to open up wasteland on the planet.

Not only are there not enough personnel, but even the number of large transport ships is not enough.

At the beginning, I only thought that finding two planets was enough luck. Even the most optimistic people did not expect to find so many planets not far from Sedna.

At the beginning, only two of these large interstellar transport ships were built, and the spaceship that went to the third planet to open up wasteland was temporarily requisitioned from the one that was originally scheduled to go to the deep space star.For the fourth and fifth planets, where does the spaceship come to go to them?
Zhao Changxing truly realized that sometimes, being too lucky can become a kind of trouble.

As a last resort, Zhao Changxing could only issue an order to the industry department, demanding that the manufacture of new spaceships be started immediately. At the same time, among the five planets, first select the three planets that are the closest and easiest to reach, and develop these three planets first. .

Therefore, under the condition that the shipyard was running non-stop day and night and urgently manufacturing new spaceships, three large interstellar transport ships were fully loaded with personnel, machinery, supplies, etc., left Sedna Star, and embarked on the journey to No. 3 and No. 4. , No. 6, the journey of the three planets.

Time passed slowly.Three years passed in a flash.People who have been waiting for a full three years in boredom finally waited for the moment when they arrived at their destination.

Looking at the huge planet under their feet, which was slightly yellow under the sun, everyone cheered at the same time.

The small landing spacecraft sent the first batch of personnel, who were also in charge of the interstellar land reclamation mission, to the ground first.

People were filled with joy as they stepped on the extremely hard ground frozen by the low temperature.

In the dark yellow land under their feet at this moment, people have already proven that there is a rare earth mine with huge reserves.The rare earths it produces can support human civilization for at least 20 years.

Ahead is a huge and deep canyon.Satellites have detected that there is a large amount of hydrates in the canyon, and the reserves of water mines are at least 40 billion tons, which is roughly equivalent to a famous lake called Taihu Lake in the earth era.

More than 200 kilometers away on the left is a gold and silver mine, where at least hundreds of tons of gold can be mined.As for the associated silver reserves, there are even more.

In addition, there is a large iron mine with good quality on this planet.However, there is no iron shortage on Star Sedna, so this iron mine is not of much value.However, the iron mine here can fully support people's construction on this planet, and there is no need to transport materials from Sedna Star.

"This, this is really a treasure..."

At this moment, people all felt the same sigh in their hearts.
