Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

After careful investigation by the scientific exploration fleet led by Hipper and Forban.

There are a total of eight hyperspace lanes around the central galaxy.

Three of them extend directly from the central galaxy.

The remaining five are the 'secondary roads' emanating from those three galaxies.

In other words...

In the 'rota nebula' where the central galaxy is located, there are five galaxies. After up to two hyperspace jumps, you can reach the headquarters of the Suzheng Entente Empire.

"There is no doubt that these five star systems will become the next focus of the empire's defense."

"Whether it is in these five two-ring galaxies or the three one-ring galaxies, the number of planets and the mineral reserves of the planets are relatively optimistic."

Hipper said, "Although there are indeed a few planets with high-risk geological forms, their development value will not be greatly reduced.

Whether it is from an economic point of view or a defense point of view, I highly recommend paying more attention to them.

The Empire should start preparing further development plans as soon as possible. "

Su Wen nodded: "Of course, this is exactly what we need to discuss right now...

By the way, is that all? "

"That's all, Commander.

Complete exploration data is available only for these eight inner ring galaxies.

Further down... We have only slightly explored a few routes to the three-ring system and confirmed their safety.

But there was not much time to carefully explore the specific conditions inside the three-ring galaxy. "

Hipper held his chin in one hand and gently twisted his gold-like hair with the other hand.

The first round of external exploration operations came to an end with "obtaining complete exploration data of all second-ring galaxies".

Neither she nor Forban continued walking down.

Because further down, the number of galaxies at the end of the channel exceeds double digits.

With only two fleets, they couldn't sweep them away.

Very normal.

This kind of diffusion extension will definitely expand more and more.

In the end, sooner or later, there will be a dense network of countless waterways as complex as a spider web.

The mission objectives have shown an almost exponential growth, and they will be overwhelmed without additional manpower.

not to mention...

Hyperspace jumps also consume a lot of fuel.

While hopping along the channel.

The fleet needs to sail in hyperspace for a period of time.

...And, there is also the possibility of encountering danger.

In that kind of hellish place,

Either it’s calm;

There was no movement, it was as quiet as sailing through a tomb.

The eerie silence can drive people crazy.

But if there is an accident, it can also scare people to death:

If you encounter trouble in a place like this where the laws of physics are distorted, it will kill everyone.

...Therefore, Hipper did not continue his exploration.

After completing the exploration of five second-ring galaxies, we suspended our continued voyage outwards.

The news was conveyed to the capital of the home planet, waiting for the head of state and the cabinet to discuss the plan and come up with further instructions.

..

Eight inner ring galaxies.

Three one ring, five two rings.

The 'ring' is only used to measure the number of hyperspace jumps required to start from the central galaxy and reach the destination.

There is no direct strong correlation with their astronomical scale distance from the central galaxy in the real world.

Of course, two-ring galaxies are indeed farther away than one-ring galaxies:

Among the three galaxies in the ring, the closest 'Rota-ii' is 24.5 light-years away from the central galaxy.

The farthest 'Rota-iv' is thirty-one light years;

The five two-ring galaxies are generally around forty or fifty light years away.

The farthest one is even a hundred light years away.

Seriously exceeding the average for other galaxies.

can only say...

This is also consistent with the 'unfathomable' state of hyperspace.

That place cannot be measured with conventional distance.

It is not surprising that such a situation would occur.

Except for the No. 8 galaxy that inexplicably jumped to more than a hundred light years away.

The remaining seven inner ring galaxies are all within the Rota Nebula.

This is a small nebula that was formed more than eight billion years ago. It is not ancient, but it is not that old.

There are only these seven star systems inside.

It is considered a fairly small intermediate celestial body system.

Because he is no longer young, the star-making movement of the Rota Nebula has basically stopped.

But these dozen stars...

——The reason why the number is exceeded is because several of them are multi-star systems. It even includes a relatively rare three-body system consisting of three B-type main sequence stars.

But these dozen or so stars are not old enough to become giant stars or even begin to collapse into high-density objects.

Therefore, the scientific expedition team led by Hipper and others,

No dangerous celestial objects or the high-risk cosmic phenomena that often accompany them have been found in these galaxies.

There are no neutron stars, no black holes, and no quasars.

If you think about it from a long-term perspective...this is actually not a good thing.

After all, some special celestial bodies are closely related to some giant galactic structures with unique functions.

For example, neutron stars.

Although this kind of high-density object born with twin tails will bring terrible radio pulses,

Like two torrents of particles, they wash away all the celestial bodies in the galaxy where they are located.

Let all the planetary magnetic fields in this star system be destroyed,

So that it cannot resist cosmic rays and becomes a dead planet that is completely unable to produce life forms.

But it itself is a precious treasure composed of countless zero-element materials—that is, degenerate neutron materials.

Without a neutron star, it would be a bit troublesome to collect zero-element materials.

Any zero-element extraction device built by a civilization on its own, unless it is a black technology of the 'dimension extraction machine' that can only be built by a super civilization, will not be able to produce as many zero-element materials as those that can only be built on a neutron star. 'Giga Zero Prime Forge', 'Zero Prime Forge', and 'Nedway Al'.

As for white dwarfs, black holes, pulsars, etc., each has its own special use.

There are no special celestial objects in the inner ring neighboring galaxies of the Empire's central galaxy.

This undoubtedly reduces some future development possibilities.

These galaxies will not be able to carry out major projects such as 'matter decompressors' and 'Penrose spheres'.

of course,

From a long-term perspective, this is a 'lack of resources' phenomenon.

But in terms of the short-term benefits this phenomenon will bring to the empire, the benefits are quite good:

——There is no special celestial body, although there is no special output.

But without the dangerous cosmic phenomena they would cause,

It also makes the seven galaxies in the inner ring relatively safe.

There are no galactic magnetic storms caused by pulsars.

There is no 'twin tails' that sweeps across everything from neutron stars.

There is no terrifying 'event horizon' near a black hole with no return.

These seven galaxies are as dangerous as the solar system.

All of them can safely carry out activities such as planet colonization, star base stationing, and interstellar transportation network deployment.

Several of these planets are habitable even by human standards.

non-toxic atmosphere,

clean water ocean,

There is also soil that can support plants.

Although the climate is hot,

But the surface temperature of 40 to 50 degrees can be completely withstood by the ecological dome.

Compared to the perversions of Mercury and Venus, this is nothing.

“Among them, the mining resources of Rota-2, Rota-4, and Rota-7 are the most abundant;”

At an important meeting attended by all members of the imperial cabinet,

Hipper displayed holographic projections in front of everyone.

The above content is the specific situation of all celestial objects in each inner ring galaxy.

Including the basic physical parameters of celestial bodies, planetary characteristics, and resource reserves.

"Rota-3 and Rota-5 are slightly special. There are life planets in these two galaxies.

Although there is only one primitive ocean water planet and two jungle planets,

And no intelligent creatures with high intelligence have been found on it.

But judging from the scale and development of their biospheres, the possibility that these three planets have large reserves of organic minerals is still very high. "

Su Wen listened to her words and nodded slightly.

That's the truth.

Only planets with biospheres can easily produce organic minerals.

And organic minerals...

To say it is abundant is to say that it is abundant, but to say that it is lacking is to say that it is really lacking.

Oil is not just used to refine gasoline and burn it.

This is an important raw material in the chemical industry, and one raw material supports half of modern industry.

Most of the polymer materials currently produced on Reach consume petroleum.

and...

It itself is a non-renewable resource that can only be born on a living planet.

If we evaluate it solely from the degree of rarity.

Organic fossil energy minerals are much more precious than conventional metal minerals.

At least.

Suppose that the planet Reach was opened up for use and the oil resources were exhausted.

It is much harder to find a planet with oil than to find a planet rich in iron and titanium.

and so.

Whether from the perspective of strategic resources,

Or from the perspective of potential colonial conditions,

It is a good thing after all that there are life planets in the inner galaxies.
