Voyage of the Stars

Just know it, the universe is so big, maybe after this battle, humans will have nothing to do with Orange Star Civilization.

So after rushing to kill the last remnants of Orange Star Civilization, the first fleet of humans turned around and rushed to the star system less than one light year away from the starry sky battlefield.

No one cleaned the battlefield, and humans ignored the wreckage of the dilapidated Orange Star Civilization warships.

After this battle, humans have a deep understanding of the third-person perspective battleship mode, and at the same time have established strong confidence in it.

As long as this fleet is there, humans are the strongest of the same level of civilization.

And what makes humans most excited is that the 3,000 sets of equipment of the awakener can not only be used for the fourth-level civilization warships, but also the fifth and sixth-level civilizations.

As long as the new warships built by humans after reaching that technological level are also modified and connected to the equipment according to the installation instructions, this fleet will definitely be the trump card of humans in the future.

The flagship Tianqin, because it has both the main consciousness connection equipment given by the awakener and the warp space enhancement device left by the pioneer, has become the real existence with the most powerful combat power.

Of course, when it comes to the sixth-level civilization, humans may be able to make related consciousness connection equipment by themselves. After all, humans naturally have the talent of third-person dreams. The reason why the awakeners have this set of equipment is that they also have such a talent and then obtain this special technology through research on their own talents.

And this is exactly why the awakeners are very optimistic about humans, so humans are still very confident in developing their own talents.

As for the Orange Star Civilization Fleet, it has become the whetstone of the human fleet's first battle, and they asked for it.

Speaking of which, the Tianqin, which returned from the starry sky, took the lead and headed into the star system at the fastest warp speed. Its target is a dwarf planet on the second-to-last orbit in this star system.

The purpose is naturally to bombard it into a mine.

The reason why it is not a planet on the penultimate orbit is that the planet on the penultimate orbit is just below the other side of the star.

Well, it's OK to say it's above, after all, there is no up and down in the universe.

Why is it not the other side of the star? The reason is that the orbit of the penultimate dwarf planet in this star system is very different. Other planets orbit near the ecliptic plane of the star, but its orbit almost vertically crosses the ecliptic plane.

I really don't know what kind of star formation environment creates this strange phenomenon. It is precisely because of this that it is out of tune with other planets.

Looking at the overview of this star system, the main sequence star of this star system is a white star with a surface temperature of about 7,000 degrees Celsius, a diameter of 1.84 times that of the sun, a mass of 1.72 times that of the sun, and a brightness of 11 times that of the sun.

According to the apparent magnitude of the earth's position, it should be 0.78.

It is an ordinary star with a rotation period of 9.3 hours, which can be said to be very fast. Because of this, its equatorial diameter is larger than its polar diameter, with a ratio of 1.12.

It has many similarities with Sirius and Altair, and they are all very young stars. It may have been formed only hundreds of millions of years ago, and its core is composed of helium produced by nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen.

When such a star reaches a lifespan of about 3.5 billion years, it will shrink inward due to the exhaustion of hydrogen raw materials, forming a red giant and eventually evolving into a white dwarf.

Before coming here, humans did not do much exploration of this star system. Now that they want to develop resources, they naturally have to explore it and collect accurate data about this star.

So after Tianqin exited the warp, many small exploration spacecraft went into the star system.

As for the dwarf planet in front of Tianqin, humans have not conducted detailed geological exploration, but from the perspective of the near-orbital space position, it can be roughly known that it is a planet with a cooled core.

This kind of planet is the best for mining. It will be broken into pieces with one shot, unlike those planets with hot cores, where molten iron will splash into space after one shot and then rely on radiation to cool down.

In fact, scientists on the Tianqin were very interested in this planet with a different orbit, especially scientists in the field of astronomy. They wanted to study its origin and the evolution history of this star system here, but humans don't have that much time now, otherwise the Tianqin would not have directly selected the mining planet based on the principle of proximity.

It's a pity to lose the opportunity to study a planet with a special orbit, but it's not to the point of being heartbroken, and humans will definitely not return here in the future, so let it disappear!

Not long after, it exploded in the starry sky under the Tianqin's star destroyer cannon, as if it was splitting a mountain and splitting a rock. Then the Tianqin and other warships were ordered to open the hatches, release smaller ships one by one, and bite the planet fragments like hungry tigers.

Xiaohui played a great role at this time. Her body turned into a locust miner, trying her best to split every metal bond she could, and then these materials were transported to the Tianqin by small ships, and after being processed again and again by various smelters and manufacturing plants inside the Tianqin, they became various things needed by humans.

Humans eat, drink, and use, as well as the antimatter fuel that warships need most. After a round of replenishment, several months passed.

The human fleet also set foot in the starry sky again, heading straight for the main human civilization about 117 light years away.

After setting foot on the star journey, the 2,994 warships all maintained 38 times the speed of light, gradually bidding farewell to this star system with countless wreckages of orange star civilization warships floating around.

One hundred and seventeen light years, a distance that was once beyond the reach of humans, a distance that once required stars as springboards, can now be traveled in a straight line.

Interstellar civilization is worthy of being an interstellar civilization!

Star-level travel is already easy for civilizations at this level.

Especially for a fleet like this human fleet, which has reached the top speed level of the fourth-level civilization, this distance can be reached in three years.

If the Tianqin activates the warp space enhancement device, it can be faster.

And more than a hundred light years is far from the range limit of the fourth-level civilization. As far as the human warship design is concerned, if it is fully filled with antimatter fuel, the warship can probably travel 500 light years.

In terms of the size of planetary warships, it is actually not much different, because warp speed navigation also has the same thrust-to-weight ratio problem as conventional navigation, but it is replaced by the problem of energy consumption and warship mass.

Hundreds of years have passed since they separated from the main body of human civilization.

If it were in the ancient Earth, it would be equivalent to the rise and fall cycle of a dynasty, but in the interstellar era, it is just the time for a fleet to go out for a mission.

But after all, hundreds of years are not short. Now everyone in the First Fleet is eager to return home. They all want to see their own tribe as soon as possible, and then share their gains with others, so that their tribe will become stronger together!

As they embarked on the return journey, they were all thinking, after hundreds of years, whether our main body of civilization has made progress in technology, and whether they have also broken through the third-generation warp technology...

At the same time, they also want to share the experience of the First Fleet with their friends in the main body of civilization as soon as possible, especially wanting to tell their friends how they, a group of people, broke through the third-generation warp technology in desperate situations... and all kinds of encounters in the Pioneer microcosm... too many.
