Vol 4 Chapter 1347: Expansion direction of civilization

"The key factor restricting human development is no longer science and technology, but resources, so..."
At the end of the discussion on the expansion of civilized territories, Fang Yuan's speech was finalized: "We need more resource stars, not larger territories.
"Expanding the boundaries of civilizations around the solar system can indeed avoid border conflicts with higher civilizations, but the high-level resources obtained are too few to help civilizations develop rapidly.
"If the key factor restricting the development of civilization is technology, then it should be inclined to choose to expand in star regions far away from border conflicts.
"The situation is completely different now. We need resources. The more the better.
"Then, the direction of the expansion of the civilized territory can only be to expand toward the core star region with denser resource stars.
"As for the border conflict with the Three-Eyed Civilization, don't worry, the Three-Eyed Civilization dare not move us before the Paleste Galactic Far Star Empire is destroyed.
"Humanity's third resident planet should be in the Sagittarius spiral arm. Next, scientists in the astronomy circle will tell me which star is more suitable."
After this speech was over, there were no other voices of objection.
The next issue began with the choice of which star to develop.
If it is at the normal rate of civilization development, after a civilization has a second planet, it will take at least several decades to develop a third planet.
However, mankind is in a very peculiar period. The laboratory has a high level of technology. What is lacking is the resources and the time to transform the resources into the comprehensive strength of civilization.
Therefore, after the successful immigration of the second homeland star, the selection of the third homeland star was initiated immediately.
"Α720 Sagittarius, α565 Sagittarius, and α310 Sagittarius. These three stars all have suitable terrestrial planets. There are resource stars in the star system. It is a very good choice to obtain advanced resources from the Zro star source..."
Before today’s meeting started, in fact, the main topics of today’s meeting had already been determined.
Therefore, scientists in the astronomy circle have done this work a long time ago. They have carefully studied the star map of the Sagittarius spiral arm, and selected these three stars from more than a thousand candidate stars.
"These three stars are all suitable choices for the third home planet, but each of them has advantages and disadvantages and needs to be selected from them." Lang Tongguang gave a report on behalf of the astronomical group scientist.
Sagittarius α720, Sagittarius α565, Sagittarius α310.
The serial numbers of these three stars are all smaller than α960 Sagittarius, which can basically be seen from the numbers.
These three stars are closer to the core star domain of the Sagittarius spiral arm than α960 Sagittarius.
The closer to the core star field, the greater the number of resource stars.
Of course, if you want to count down to the resource stars in a single star system, you need to look at the actual situation.
"Among these three stars, there is a C-class resource star in the star systems of α720 Sagittarius and α565 Sagittarius. The total resources are about 25% larger than α960 Sagittarius, and they are closer to α960 Sagittarius. Both are good choices... "
Lang Tongguang continued to broadcast the report summarized by the astronomy team on the big screen:
"Relatively speaking, the other stellar resources around α565 Sagittarius are denser, but the gap will not be too large, and the distance from α960 Sagittarius is farther.
"Other than that, the situation of Sagittarius α310 is different.
"In the star system of the star α310 Sagittarius, there are two resource stars.
"In terms of the development value of this star alone, it is the highest, and it is also closer to the core star field of the Sagittarius spiral arm.
"But there is a problem. The distance between Alpha 310 Sagittarius and Alpha 960 Sagittarius is more than three thousand light years. The distance is too far to form a closed defense zone.
"Once Sagittarius α310 or Sagittarius α960 encounters an attack from a hostile civilization, it will be difficult to coordinate operations between the two."
Fang Yuan frowned and said, "In the α200-300 Sagittarius star field, there is a star gate leading to α960 Sagittarius. Is this taken into consideration?"
"Yes, this is considered. If you consider the star gate, the range of α310 Sagittarius is similar to the other two stars. It is indeed a good choice..."
Lang Tongguang turned around and said, "But the problem is that these star gates are not entirely ours.
"From the perspective of ownership, the star gates of the 200-300 Sagittarius star domain are jointly owned by mankind and the photosynthetic civilization.
"Moreover, so far, humans have not mastered the stargate technology, so once the future photosynthetic civilization stops maintaining the stargate, these stargates may be suspended at any time."
This topic is very realistic, and it really needs to be considered.
"No way. The photosynthetic people have always been very good at talking." Eve curled his lips and felt that since contact with the photosynthetic people, they have felt very good.
This group of photosynthetic people is very gentle and not very aggressive.
"Yes, our cooperation with the photosynthetic civilization has always been very happy, but this cannot guarantee that the future photosynthetic civilization will be as willing to cooperate as it is now. Especially when the three-eyed civilization puts pressure on the photosynthetic civilization, it is between humans and the three-eyed civilization. In the meantime, I don't think the photosynthetic civilization will choose us." Lang Tongguang asked a very realistic question.
Although I don't want to admit it, it's true.
So far, the value of human civilization cannot be compared with the three-eyed civilization.
At present, the galactic affairs of the photosynthetic civilization is in charge of Piggs.
Piggs is indeed very friendly, and can even be described as very obedient.
However, this has a prerequisite, that is, human beings are compared with the galactic power of the Three-Eyed Civilization, not the entire Three-Eyed Civilization.
In the galaxy, excluding the home planet of the three-eyed civilization, Piggs naturally prefers to cooperate with humans.
However, when this relationship expanded to the entire photosynthetic civilization and the three-eye civilization.
The cooperation between the three-eyed civilization and the photosynthetic civilization has lasted for tens of thousands of years, covering most of the star field of the Triangulum galaxy.
This kind of mutual penetration is impossible to completely peel off.
Therefore, once humans need to compare with the entire three-eyed civilization, the photosynthetic civilization will choose the three-eyed civilization without hesitation.
"It is true. I discussed this issue with scholars in cosmological sociology yesterday. Regarding our relationship with the carbon-based alliance, we are currently in a state of equilibrium. However, once the conflict with the three-eyed civilization intensifies, the three-eyed civilization will turn to photosynthesis. If civilization puts pressure on it, we may not be able to get the scientific and technological support of photosynthetic civilization. By then, the star gate of the alpha Sagittarius star field may be unusable." Zhao Anya said.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment, looked at the big screen, and asked a key question: "Professor, how long will it take us to maintain the Stargate alone?"
