Vol 2 Chapter 1001: The road to colonization is still very long!

After taking a sip of water, Lei Tiantang continued: "There is a more important reason that we are not prepared ourselves! You should know that there are not too many things that need to be prepared in the interstellar colony!
The simplest point is, how can you let everyone willingly leave the earth to live on an alien planet? You know that it takes a long, long period of hardship.
The fastest speed achieved by human man-made objects before is 240,000 kilometers per hour, which is enough to orbit the earth in about 10 minutes.
At this speed, it will take about 19,000 years to reach the star system closest to the sun, which is the neighboring star we are exploring.
And even if our current "Moon" can fly to a speed of 200 kilometers per second under constant acceleration, the fastest speed is only 720,000 kilometers per hour, then this speed is only three times faster. However, it takes more than 6,300 years to fly to Proxima.
But now we can speculate that if we maintain this speed and use a spacecraft carrying 100 humans to go to Proxima, and assuming Proxima is suitable for human survival, what fate will the people on the spacecraft have?
Before arriving at the destination, the people on the ship will live a life in a small space. Even they and their offspring will work hard to maintain the instinct to prosper and thrive. At least there will be more than 200 generations of people who will always be there. Live in such a spacecraft until it finally reaches its destination more than 6,300 years later.
The only problem is that when they finally arrived, they not only discovered that humans were already there, but had lived there for many years, and had completely colonized hundreds of people and large cities on this new planet.
This happened because the people back then assumed a speed of 720,000 km/h, which was the fastest speed we could achieve on a ship, so they sent colonists under this assumption.
On Earth, a thousand years of technological development is enough to allow us to discover a faster way of space travel. Therefore, the ship behind eventually reached the destination planet thousands of years earlier than it.
And such a long time has given later humans enough time to fully develop civilization there, and even create a more splendid civilization.
But all this is a very cruel thing to these pioneers, because they will find that the entire 6,300-year process and suffering of them and their ancestors is meaningless!
Who knows what psychological or sensory self-problems such an experience will bring to those people, of course this is still the smoothest situation, if they encounter any problems halfway, they may never reach their destination.
When is the best time for humans to send colonists to another planet? Many people believe that it must be the shortest travel time to any place in the universe.
Our technology is close to achieving this goal. After all, with our technology, we can safely send astronauts to Mars, but deciding when is best for life is quite complicated.
Think about how this will affect any future space traveler: How many people will voluntarily sign up to spend the rest of their lives on a spacecraft? And the lives of your children, the lives of their children, and so on.
When the only reward will be told: one day humans will colonize another planet because of your sacrifice?
This is actually a huge gamble. They may be worthless, and at the same time they have to use their own future to take the risk. Whether it is worth it or not is the question of many people unwilling to be the first mover.
So at any time in the future, it is almost impossible to convince anyone to board the "generational spacecraft" like this, unless you force them to do so.
These pioneers will always believe that people in the future will only create a faster mode of transportation, and this mode of transportation will completely negate their own journey and make their sacrifices meaningless!
Because even if the humans behind did not forget them, they would use faster spacecraft to pick up their offspring during their flight. For them, the result was even more cruel, because it proved them and The sacrifices of their descendants are meaningless!
So even if we hand over the technology of the "Moon" spacecraft to the company now, it will not help the current state. Black technology will not help the future of mankind unless it is the kind of technology that can directly change the future of mankind. It will be too big. "
Lei Tiantang said a lot in one breath, mainly because he was also very depressed when it came to this issue. As a human being blessed by fate, he also wanted to help humanity become a better one in the process of achieving his goals. In the future, but when he had a deep understanding of the relevant situation, he discovered that this idea could not be realized for a long time!
There are all kinds of problems, but trying to solve these problems is very complicated. It's not like doing what you want.
"When you say this, I understand. Our spacecraft seems to have good technology, but in the final analysis it can only be regarded as an intra-stellar spacecraft. Even if the technology is brought to the company, it will not bring much change. At the most, it means speeding up the colonization of the Moon and Mars.
However, if this kind of thing is done with the company's own research and development spacecraft [Chuxin], it is a slightly slower thing, and there is no qualitative difference.
Unless we can provide them with more advanced spacecraft technology, such as superluminal spacecraft or spacecraft that can jump in space~EbookFREE.me~, the related problems will not really be solved. "Kuafu also agrees with this statement.
"That's for sure. Just think about it and you'll know for yourself. I don't want you to stay on the Internet for an hour. How can we, with richer feelings, endure that kind of boring life?
Our company's astronauts have to make psychological adjustments after returning from space missions for a few months. This is still the case when they can connect with the earth in real time.
If they were to be bored in an iron pot for the rest of their lives, and even their offspring should accept such a life, I think not many people would have the courage to choose to be the forerunner.
So there is still a long way to colonize the interstellar, and there are many problems to be solved. This communication problem has to be solved, and there are many problems related to human beings that have to be solved. "Lei Tiantang said with a smile.
"It's no wonder that boss, you will agree with me to expand the human experiment project several times at once. It seems that I want to solve related problems through research!" Kuafu suddenly realized.
