Chapter 19: Develop a footprint

As humans' understanding of time, space, mass, and speed has gradually deepened, theories of string theory and super unified field theory have continued to develop and improve. Eventually, a series of spatial folding theories emerged. For the first time, breakthroughs in controllable fusion technology have provided mankind with nearly unlimited energy.
Generations of scientists have constantly challenged the speed of light. In their hands, objects that can accelerate to the speed of light from elementary particles to atoms to molecules and then macromolecular polymers have gradually become larger. In the end, they have been able to accelerate a spaceship to Sub-light speed.
The theory of space folding has also matured, and humans have finally found a way to cross distant spaces.
When the first deep space exploration spacecraft Trail Blazer with the ability to jump in space was built, the warriors who were committed to conquering the deep space were determined to never return. Empty new chapter.
The target of the Blazer is a newly discovered planet with a celestial environment similar to the parent star, about 10 light years away from the parent star.
In the current millennium, 10 light years cannot be classified as a long distance by any standard, but for the Trail Blazers at the time, it was a one-way trip.
After a long period of acceleration, the Trail Blazers jumped into space, then sailed into a long galaxy and headed towards the target planet. When members of the spacecraft were awakened from the freezer by an automatic program, they saw a starry sky completely strange.
They used shaking hands to send a message of success to the parent star.
At this moment, it was photographed by photographers and became the most classic moment in human history.
When people on Pluto received the information, it was ten years later.
The successful expedition of the Pioneer completely inspired human desire to explore deep space. One after another the deep space exploration colony spacecraft has been continuously built, one after another sailing towards other galaxies.
Since then, mankind has officially entered the era of deep space.
殖民 The destinations of these colony ships are mostly different. Only a few ships follow the trail of the Trail Blazer to the planet named Eden.
Eden has proven to be a habitable planet. In the age of deep space, the criteria for habitable planets are completely different from when they did not leave the home star. As long as there is air, water, and energy and resources available for mining, which can independently support the survival of human bases, they can be classified as habitable planets.
的 The atmosphere of Eden cannot breathe directly, the temperature is too low, and most of the water on the surface of the planet exists in the form of ice. But humans have long accumulated a wealth of colonial experience on other planets in the solar system, and are not afraid of it.
The first group of immigrants landed the Blazer directly on the surface of the planet and dismantled the hull. Based on this, the first large-scale permanent residence base was established.
Twenty years later, the first-generation pioneers are getting older, the second- and third-generation pioneers have become the backbone, and the fourth-generation pioneers have gradually appeared. In the Garden of Eden, the number of permanent residence bases has changed from one to a dozen, and the new space base has begun.
In a blink of an eye, decades later, a new generation of colonial spacecraft was built in the outer space of Eden. For the first time, humans have a springboard deep in the stars.
In this way, mankind, with primitive space-jumping technology, relied on the advancement of pioneers from generation to generation, struggling hard but stubbornly into the depths of the universe.
From the perspective of the river system, the so-called arduous efforts of mankind are really worthless. The universe is too big, and time and space are constantly expanding. The star field occupied by humans for hundreds of years is difficult to get rid of infinitely small categories in the mathematical sense.
This process was originally unknown for how long, but the discovery of natural wormholes has completely changed the course of human exploration of deep space.
With the technology that humans already have, it is not difficult to penetrate natural wormholes.
天然 These natural wormholes, like the natural highways in the universe, often connect two galaxies that are extremely far apart. The distance is so far that it is difficult for human beings to surpass the current level of science and technology.
As more natural wormholes are discovered, the speed of human exploration of deep space has increased geometrically, and more and more planets have human footprints.
The number of human planets is increasing. According to experience, humans began to divide the planets into four categories: habitable planets, resource planets, strategic planets, and barren planets.
However, in the era of Xinghai pioneering, human communication methods have gradually failed to keep pace with the expansion of the leading stars. It takes years or even decades for a message in the fringe star domain to return to the parent star. From the time of birth, the descendants of the pioneers have seen either the internal structure of the space base or the alien landscape. The mother star has been too far away for them, and it is simply a legend.
之间 Because of the natural differences in resources between different planets, the rich and the poor have begun to divide. Some abandoned resource stars are struggling for daily survival. Other planets have grown far beyond their home stars. With massive wealth, they established their own interstellar fleet, and their combat power even began to approach the parent star fleet.
In 2710, the first wave of interstellar separation in human history appeared, the parent star's control of each star area completely collapsed, and each colony star declared independence.
In 2715, the Mother Star Fleet began its first expedition. The enemy was not an alien, but other humans living in an alien space.
In 2730, the mother star fleet and the Outland Alliance launched a decisive battle in Wuxu Outer Space, and ultimately both lost. The mother star government was forced to recognize the Outland Alliance as a legitimate government equal to itself.
A hundred years later, the unwilling failure of the parent star coalition government and the foreign domain alliance repeatedly battled, and the war spread to countless star domains. The heavy burden of war eventually pushed both sides to the extreme. The parent star ’s coalition government and the foreign domain alliance have disintegrated. Humans have entered the era of division. In the vast star domain, hundreds of governments coexist at most. In many cases, a planet with someone is a government. .
After the chaos, there was Dazhi.
After the endless war suffering, people finally found the value of tradition and faith. So retro and root-seeking tide swept the entire human race, and the mother star once again became a holy place for all human beings.
The culture and religion that appeared before humanity had not yet stepped out of the planetary period, its value was rediscovered and re-interpreted in the context of the Xinghai era, and then found that even if technology has advanced to the present day, these ancient wisdom 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 major kingdoms: the Tang Dynasty based on the traditional wisdom of the East, and the Anglo-Saxon-based Protestant and Eastern religions based on the old industrial era. Commonwealth of America, referred to as the British Commonwealth.
Facing the two jumbo giants rising up and juxtaposed, many small forces located on the edge of the star field have to unite to form a pan-star field community. The community is a loose alliance, and loose access conditions have attracted many independent forces. Basically, you can become a member of the community as long as you issue a paper to join the statement.
Because of the large number of members, the strength of the community is also growing, at least the strength on paper is not much different from that of the dynasty and the federation.
In the gap between the three major forces, there are many small forces struggling to survive.
Among the vast stars, naturally star thieves are raging.
In this way, human beings continue to develop in the flames of war and disputes, their footprints continue to extend to the distance, and one star after another is brought into the sphere of influence.
Strangely, to this day, humans have not encountered highly intelligent alien races, not even species that can be called intelligent races.
The vast sea of ​​stars, is it true that human beings are the darlings of the universe and have reached the forefront of all intelligent races? Or the universe is too large for humans to set foot, but it is only a small part of the entire universe that can be ignored. We didn't meet alien races just because we didn't go far enough.
The two views are incompatible with each other, each with countless supporters, who have been arguing for 700 years.
Xin Zheng Kingdom is also based on the Chinese civilization. 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 existence.
Xu Xinzheng was one of the many affiliated nations of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he was responsible for the frontiers, the first defense against unknown races outside the territory, the second defense against the British Commonwealth and the Pan-Star Community, the third defense against star theft, and various mobile forces.
As a small frontier force, Xinzheng lags far behind the core star domain of the dynasty in terms of science, technology, and economic and military strength. For the vassal forces, the Tang Dynasty paid a certain amount of subsidy ~ EbookFREE.me every few years to enhance the strength of its subordinates. For a small country like Xinzheng, subsidies from the dynasty were the key to survival and prosperity.
The Shang Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, Shang Wu, and Wu Liguo, a small annual performance at the end of the year, and a large performance every five years, are important basis for determining the amount of subsidies for the next five-year cycle. Because of this, Xinzheng will value the opportunity to participate in the performance and look forward to a good performance.
Xinzheng's national strength has recently declined and talents have withered. He has not been eligible to participate in martial arts performances for eight consecutive years.
When I saw this, Chu Jungui finally understood why there were casualties in the battle for survival, but all the students who went up to Qin Yi and down to ordinary students were very happy. Even when opening a bar on a transport ship and gathering people to drink, Meng Jianghu opened his eyes and closed his eyes. After all, re-qualification is more important than anything else.
Pompano Business School is indeed the top university in Xinzheng, as Meng Jianghu said. This college has a long history, even longer than Xinzheng. When the academy was first established, the human Xinghai navigation technology was not perfect, and the curvature engine was only a concept, and even the drawings did not appear.
After a long frozen voyage, the original founder of the college came to Xinzheng, which was just discovered at that time. He knew that he would not return to his mother star in this life. The college was named the Participating Business School.
Today, the School of Business has become a behemoth of Xinzheng, with all disciplines ranging from single-armed planetary combat to cosmic space fleet warfare. It also offers a number of courses from light weapons to space warship design. There are more than a dozen, and there are two subsidiary bases and one outer space base.
The Pompano Business School is not so much a military school as a military science, technology and education complex.
