Vol 4 Chapter 1065: Zro Xingyuan mining area, a strategic resource of the Milky Way

The night view of Donghai River Beach is beautiful.
Looking across the river, you can see the city full of neon, reflecting in the river, as if two splendid cities are joined together.
Fang Yuan took Han Youwei's hand and walked on the beach.
The two clasped their fingers together, but their palms were not touching because they would sweat.
In Fang Yuan's view, since high school, it has been more than ten years since I met each other.
If you have only known each other for ten years, it may not be a big deal, but they were born together, supported each other, and walked all the way on the battlefield. The feelings and friendship between each other are difficult to compare with the experience of ordinary people.
It's just that in Han Youwei's memory, it has been more than ten years, and it will take longer to count from childhood.
After becoming members of the Dragon Team, each other is more like the shadow of each other, as if it has become a habit, never thinking about what will happen in the future.
Han Youwei has been following silently, never making any requests.
Sometimes Fang Yuan would even ignore her existence.
When I calm down and think, I know how important she is.
"Let's write an application. Although there are multiple steps for military marriage, the application will be handed in and the procedure will be completed soon." Fang Yuan suddenly said this sentence.
Han Youwei was stunned for a moment, her eyes hollow.
Fang Yuan found that she was not leaving, and looked back at her, seeing the expression on her face, a bit strange.
There was a hint of joy in that expression, but only a hint, and there was more hesitation, entanglement, sadness and fear.
"What's wrong? Is it too plain?" Fang Yuan asked strangely.
"No, I'm afraid..." Han Youwei stopped talking.
"What is there to be afraid of? Can it be more scary than the Purge's civilization?" Fang Yuan laughed.
"If you write an application, do you want me to stay at home? I can't do tasks with you in the future." Han Youwei raised her head, her eyes full of nervousness.
She thinks farther and thinks more.
Fang Yuan didn't think about this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a relaxed tone: "You can do what you like."
"But... this is not a matter of two people, it is a matter of two families..." Han Youwei lowered her head.
"you are not willing?"
"Not..."
"That's fine. Why do you think so much? The fate of civilization is still in our hands. If you really think so much, do you still have to live." Fang Yuan nodded her forehead, then pulled her Hand running on the beach.
...
the next day.
The Supreme Council of Mankind, the Super Technology Laboratory, the Planetary Defense Staff and other departments held joint meetings to discuss the work of the Zro Scutella star source mining area and the joint fleet of photosynthetic civilization.
"Zro Scutella star source mining area, this is an area that is not on our star map. Such an important area does not provide star maps to other civilizations at will..."
Standing in the 3D holographic star map, Lang Xiaonian began to analyze the Zro Scutella star source mining area: "The star map of this area was given to us by the photosynthetic civilization three days ago.
"While obtaining the star map, the photosynthetic civilization also informed us that we need to participate in the battle of the Zro Scutella star source mining area in the form of a joint fleet.
"According to the known information, the Zro Scutella star source mining area is located at the beginning of the spiral arm of Scutella, close to the center of silver.
"And as the spiral arms of Scutum extend outward, the concentration of Zro sources will gradually decrease.
"The spiral arm of Scutum actually has a lot of stars at the end, and they are very dense.
"Of course this kind of density is relative. The distance between stars and stars is still on the scale of light years, which is very far away, but it is denser than the density of stars around our solar system.
"From the perspective of the density of Zro star sources, there is a possibility that the closer the star system to the galactic center, the more likely there is a Zro star source.
"Yes, the next very possible speculation is that the near-galactic center of each spiral arm may be a dense area of ​​Zro star source.
"It's just that we don't have star maps of those star regions.
"The photosynthetic civilization only gave us the star map of the Zro Scutella star source mining area.
"From the star chart, there are about 1 billion stars in the Zro Scuti source mining area, but the probability of a Zro source in each star system is less than one in ten thousand.
"That is to say, in the Zro star source mining area in the constellation of Scutella, there are probably 100,000 light star systems with a Zro star source.
"According to the information provided by the photosynthetic civilization, not every star system with the Zro star source is suitable for mining.
"Therefore, the star system suitable for mining the Zro star source at the beginning of the Scuti spiral arm is actually only about 30,000.
"Let's make another inference. The Milky Way has four main spiral arms. In other words, there are about 120,000 star systems in the Milky Way, which is a mining area for the Zro star source.
"Yes, what advanced civilizations are fighting over in the Milky Way is actually these 120,000 star systems.
"Of course, among these 120,000 star systems, there are also hierarchical distinctions. The higher the concentration of Zro star sources, the easier the star system to mine, the higher the value.
"The competition for the Zro Scuti star source mining area mentioned by the photosynthetic civilization is to seize control of the Zro Scuti star source mining area."
When Lang Xiaonian said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Next, it's distance. The Zro Scutella star source mining area is 30,000 light-years away.
"It will take six months to take the hyperspace channel, with the current navigation technology of mankind.
"The Perseus spiral arm controlled by the photosynthetic civilization is 6000 light-years away from the Zro Scutella star source mining area."
A military staff officer of the General Staff asked: "What benefits will we benefit from participating in the Zro Star Source mining area in the Scutum? Can we obtain the right to mine the Zro Star Source?"
"This point has not been discussed with the Carbon-based Alliance. This part of the content will be carried out in the next few days." A head of the department responsible for the exchange of alien civilizations replied.
...
After the meeting.
The Supreme Council of Mankind and Piggs, the administrator of the Perseus spiral arm of the photosynthetic civilization, obtained correspondence to discuss the issues discussed at the meeting.
Fang Yuan asked bluntly: "In the Milky Way, there is not only the Zro Star Source at the beginning of the constellation Scutum? There should be all four spiral arms, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether it has it or not, it's useless to ask." Piggs didn't really want to answer this question.
"Let me guess, the other Zro Star Source mining areas with spiral arms are all controlled by the Palestine civilization." Fang Yuan guessed with a smile.
Piggs was silent for a while before admitting: "Yes, the Zro Star Source mining area with four spiral arms in the Milky Way is all controlled by Palese.
"In fact, 20,000 years ago, we controlled the Zro Star Source mining area with two spiral arms. After the battle of V838 Monoceros was defeated, the main fleet of our galaxy was hit hard and we lost control of the mining area."
Fang Yuan understood what was going on after listening.
In this advanced civilization war, the carbon-based alliance is indeed at a disadvantage.
The source of the star Zro in the Milky Way is basically held in the hands of the Palestine civilization.
No wonder the Carbon-based Alliance wants to hit the Zro Star Source mining area in the Scutum spiral arm. This is to bring the mining area back.
