Homo sapiens - Chapter 687 Running towards the distance

On the artificial earth numbered 34.

The young man who had just said goodbye in Zheng Bai’s office had now returned to the commander’s office through the space elevator.

“Lin Li, have you finished saying goodbye?” A Lang, the army’s psychological counselor, asked with a heavy heart.

Lin Li nodded: “I’ve said goodbye to Uncle Zheng, and it’s time for us to leave.”

The two came to the main control room of the artificial earth.

Civilian Officer Andrew Levsky saw the two men walking in and immediately understood that they were about to leave the Superstar Colonial Branch.

Lin Li patted the other party on the shoulder: “Andrew, I’ll leave the civil work to you.”

“Don’t worry! Leave the internal matters to me.” Andrew agreed to the other party’s instructions.

A Lang solemnly assured the two of them: “I will go all out in terms of public opinion and psychology.”

“Then it’s up to you!”

Half an hour later.

Continuous alarms sounded inside Artificial Earth No. 34, and most of the employees entered the safety life-support cabin immediately.

Only some of the working staff are still busy at their posts.

Right now.

Sirens also began to sound at the Superstar Spaceport.

A large number of staff are facing an enemy.

About 12 hours later, eight circular holes slowly opened on the surface dome of Artificial Earth 34, each with a diameter of 600 kilometers.

There seemed to be some terror brewing in the huge hollow.

Suddenly, a dense torrent of high-energy particles emerged from the hole located at the North Pole of the artificial earth, and hundreds of millions of tons of hydrogen plasma were ejected in an instant.

Hundreds of millions of tons of plasma erupt per second. If there is a planet nearby, as long as it is swept head-on, the surface will basically be wiped clean by the plasma torrent in an instant.

Such a terrifying plasma jet soon pushed Artificial Earth 34 to slowly move towards the South Pole Star.

At the same time, the artificial lunar frigate and other space battleships orbiting Artificial Earth 34, 380,000 kilometers away, also quickly followed the artificial Earth and left the giant nebula.

Inside the office of Superstar Port.

Zheng Bai looked at Artificial Earth No. 34, which was drifting away, with complicated and helpless eyes.

As part of Project Tinder, these artificial Earths must leave the giant nebula and away from the solar system.

Moreover, Li Qingye also gave the highest authority to every commander, psychological counselor, and civil officer of the artificial earth. His status on the artificial earth was just a totem symbol, and he no longer had real management authority.

The reason why Li Qingye made this decision was because he discussed a compromise plan based on the current technological level of Homo Sapiens Company.

He knew very well that even if the Homo sapiens company increased the limit speed of the spacecraft to 30% of the speed of light, there would still be no way to directly control any planetary system outside the solar system.

It is obviously inappropriate to rely on magnetic monopoles for synchronous communication and synchronous robots for a long time.

Using the artificial human plan, the first generation of artificial people and their second generation children are okay. Once the third generation begins, the third generation, which has been isolated from their home star for hundreds of years, will definitely not have much belonging to the home star of the solar system. feel.

Although the Homo sapiens company has biotechnology that can implant fixed loyalty templates, this thing is a double-edged sword. Not only will its effect be weakened from generation to generation in the process of natural reproduction, but it will also suppress the creativity and initiation of new humans. mental illness.

After much thought, Li Qingye decided to let go and lifted the head office’s control over the androids, allowing them to set up a completely independent subsidiary.

Then he approved these artificial humans to take away all the technology of the Homo sapiens company, as well as the database that stores the genetic sequences of all organisms in the solar system, and a large part of the information about human civilization.

In other words, every artificial earth is no longer under the control of the solar system headquarters. They take the “entrepreneurial resources” allocated from their families to make a living on their own.

From then on, their relationship with the Solar System Headquarters was that of the main family and the branch family, rather than that of superiors and subordinates.

Li Qingye gave them freedom from the beginning because without faster-than-light navigation technology, separatism would emerge in planetary colonies sooner or later.

Rather than turning against each other when the time comes, it is better to let go from the beginning, leaving a civilized backup, and at the same time, both parties still have a relationship more or less.

In the future, if one of the subsidiaries becomes developed and promoted to a second-level civilization, the benefits of the parent company will definitely be indispensable.

As for whether the separated subsidiaries will attack the parent company in turn, it is obviously possible.

But this risk is unlikely for at least a few thousand years.

Because the life technology of Homo sapiens has made rapid progress in the past few decades, the current life expectancy of the population has reached about 482 years.

In other words, the previous generations of artificial humans must have been respectful to the parent company of the solar system.

Let’s talk about what happens after that.

Li Qingye didn’t look forward or backward. After all, if he didn’t do this, sooner or later there would be problems in the colonies in the outer planetary system.

What’s more, in order to ensure that these subsidiaries can develop, the Solar System parent company will regularly organize technological and cultural exchange conferences in the virtual world.

Ensure that each subsidiary can go further on the expedition to the Star Sea.

…

More than three hours of continuous acceleration consumed 0.55% of the solid metallic hydrogen stored in the working fluid warehouse.

More than ten trillion tons of hydrogen plasma was sprayed into the void, forming a stardust tail in the void.

At this time, the navigation speed of the artificial earth has soared to 538 kilometers per second, but it is still far away from the limit of 1.8% of the speed of light.

Such a huge mass loss naturally needs to be prepared in advance to avoid the impact of the earth’s gravity due to the loss of hundreds of billions of tons of mass.

During the flight, in order to ensure the safety of the artificial earth, the super magnetic field deflection shields densely covered in domes on the surface were also operating at full capacity.

Bounce the asteroids along the way directly, or directly smash them through the magnetic field shield.

About 26 hours later.

The main control room of the artificial earth.

“Report, the sailing speed has reached 1.8% of the speed of light.”

Lin Li calmly ordered: “Stop the planetary thruster immediately.”

“yes!”

As the planetary thruster at the North Pole was shut down and the last bit of hydrogen plasma was ejected, the inner wall of the thruster’s nozzle turned red.

However, the residual heat on these inner walls is quickly absorbed by the waste heat recovery system.

Then, several other planetary thrusters were started one after another, but these planetary thrusters were only started briefly, mainly to adjust the flight direction.

The destination of Artificial Earth No. 34 is a planetary system relatively close to the solar system. At this time, Artificial Earth No. 34 is still about 8.7 light-years away from that planetary system.
