Chapter 432: Refreshed and Full of Fighting Spirit

Deep in the vast space, a red dwarf star floats quietly.

Its mass is only 0.25 times that of the sun, and its radius is only 0.3 times that of the sun.

Red dwarfs of this mass can be found everywhere in the Milky Way. According to Han Yang's statistics, among the approximately 300 billion stars in the Milky Way, red dwarfs account for about 80%.

There are only two planets surrounding this red dwarf star. A massive gas giant with a mass about seven times that of Jupiter orbits it only 5 million kilometers away.

Because the distance is too close, the gas giant planet has been locked by the gravity of the red dwarf star, and can only face it with one side forever, forever enduring the heat of the star.

Its backside can only remain cold and dark forever.

One side is cold and the other side is hot, creating strong atmospheric convection. On it, supersonic winds can be seen everywhere. Powerful thunderstorms and acid rain occur year-round.

About 160 million kilometers away from the red dwarf, a rocky planet with a mass of about 1.1 times Mars orbits it in an extremely elliptical orbit.

Judging from the orbital composition data and elemental composition data, this planet does not look like it was formed in this star system, but more like a rogue planet that accidentally broke into its territory and was captured by its gravity.

At the same time, the aphelion of the rocky planet is gradually increasing due to the existence of the gas giant planet. It is calculated that in about 200 million years, the planet will finally break away from the gravitational pull of the red dwarf star and enter the vast starry sky again, embarking on a heroic journey of interstellar wandering.

This situation is actually quite common in the Milky Way. In binary stars or multi-star systems, there are often unlucky planets that are thrown out during the gravitational battle. After wandering for tens of millions and hundreds of millions of years, they are captured by another star. After a few more years, he will leave again.

On such a wandering planet, where no life exists, a huge construction operation is going on quietly.

Factories are roaring underground, with hundreds of millions of robots and more intelligent machines busy all day long. The anti-gravity speed car shuttles non-stop on the underground orbit all day long. Huge energy that is comparable to the radiation power of low-mass stars is emitted through numerous quark fission power stations and extends to every corner of the planet along the extensive energy transmission network, supporting this huge base operation.

Millions of factories produced all kinds of supplies.

Wheat, barley, rice, rye, corn, sugar cane, starch, sugar, leather, rubber, as well as various energy blocks, metal products, lubricants, parts, cables, electronic devices...

Its categories total tens of millions.

These tens of millions of supplies passed through different channels and finally gathered in various distribution centers.

There are thousands of specially built large supply box production centers that continuously produce countless metal boxes and supply them to the distribution center.

When the boxes and various supplies arrive, the robots in the distribution center will be busy packing the supplies into boxes according to different types, volumes, qualities, uses, etc.

After being packed, they will be transported to a large transport ship moored nearby.

One transport ship can carry 100,000 of these metal boxes, with a total transportation mass of millions of tons.

Later, with the help of anti-gravity technology, these heavy transport ships will take off directly from the surface of the planet, enter the vast space, and transport them to a distance of about two trillion kilometers from the star, and then give them the appropriate course and speed. Let them drift slowly deeper into the depths of the universe.

There are more than 20,000 such heavy transport ships in this galaxy.

On average, it only takes about a year for a heavy transport ship to complete a round trip. This means that on average, about 58 spacecrafts come to the drop point every day, and an average of about 2.4 spacecrafts per hour.

The drop point is fixed, and each heavy transport ship will come to the drop point to unload the boxes it transports. At the same time, the direction and speed of the dropped box are also fixed.

This created such a magical scene: these cargo spacecraft were like waterwheels, and the unloaded boxes were water.

Starting from the drop point, a river made of metal boxes was created in the vast icy starry sky.

This river flows slowly, advancing at a speed of about 50 kilometers per second. The total length has now reached 16 billion kilometers, of which the number of boxes has reached more than 20 billion, and it is still getting longer.

Time passed slowly, and more than ten years passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, the length of the river composed of metal boxes has reached 35 billion kilometers, and the total number of boxes has reached nearly 50 billion.

At this moment, dozens of light-years away from this galaxy, a certain star flickered very quickly, and then everything went as usual.

At the same time, all construction on the planet inside the galaxy stopped at the same time. Several large-yield quark fission bombs detonated, and the blazing fire and huge energy destroyed everything instantly.

More than 20,000 heavy transport ships and many other interstellar vehicles simultaneously changed their course like moths flying into a flame, heading straight towards the red dwarf star, burying themselves in the star's light without leaving any trace. .

Except for the remnants of the explosion and the tens of billions of metal boxes still drifting in space, there is no sign of anyone's arrival in this galaxy.

The tens of billions of metal boxes were also abandoned, and no one cared about them anymore.

Because the fleet that was supposed to receive them did not come.

Their fate was to drift in the vast space at a speed of about 50 kilometers per second in the endless time in the future.

In the future, they might break into a certain star system and be captured by the star's gravity, or they might directly collide with a planet and turn into dust.

But the greater possibility is that in the long time of hundreds of millions and billions of years, they will not even encounter a planet, and eventually under the influence of interstellar dust clouds and interstellar radiation, they will slowly disintegrate and eventually merge into the universe and become part of the interstellar dust cloud.

There is no way, the universe is too empty. Such aimless flight, not to mention collision, the probability of approaching a planet is too low.

Scenes similar to this star system are repeated in a total of nine star systems with it as the core and a radius of 1,000 light years. The hundreds of billions of metal boxes produced by Han Yang's computing power were directly abandoned.

Only one galaxy produced supplies that were not wasted.

At the beginning, in addition to the supply galaxies prepared for the Luotu civilization, Han Yang prepared not one but ten supply galaxies for the human fleet.

Ten galaxies simultaneously launched large-scale industrial production. Each galaxy has a complete range of industries and can produce all the tens of millions of supplies needed by the human fleet, and in sufficient quantities.

Each supply galaxy has the ability to complete the supply of the human fleet on its own.

When setting out, even Han Yang himself did not know which star system he would choose to produce supplies. Only when he was really close would Han Yang make a temporary decision.

Even if there were external spying forces, at most one or two supply galaxies would be discovered. At most, three or four would be discovered.

Even if you discovered five, and added tracking devices to the supplies of these five galaxies to try to track them, then I randomly selected one from the total ten galaxies of supplies, and there was a high probability that you would not track it.

In this way, the possibility of exposure was minimized.

At this moment, the human fleet has sailed to the edge of the selected star system and arrived next to the long metal river composed of metal boxes.

Thousands of large aerospace motherships have all left the superluminal navigation state and are quietly suspended in space. High-performance detection equipment extends to trillions of kilometers away.

Once there is any change, these aerospace motherships will immediately enter the superluminal navigation state and start to escape again.

A large number of engineering transport ships have begun salvaging. As a result, countless metal boxes and the supplies stored in them fell into each aerospace mothership like drizzle.

The fuel tank, which had long been empty, was once again filled with various fuel elements;

The old, barely functioning parts were all replaced;

The mottled armor was removed and directly recycled, and replaced with smooth new armor;

Due to the lack of energy and materials, the planting, breeding and aquaculture bases that had been idle for hundreds of years also started to operate again. A large amount of fruits, vegetables, rice, flour, grains, oil, meat, fish, fungi, etc., once again filled the food warehouse for people who had to stay awake to maintain the operation of the fleet.

It was like a tired and dusty long-distance traveler finally came to a well-equipped hotel, took a good shower, ate, slept, and changed into new clothes, and his spirit was renewed and his fighting spirit was high again.

The necessity of building a supply galaxy in advance and preparing supply materials was fully revealed at this moment.

After the human fleet had experienced such a long journey, and the journey was so hurried at the beginning, it did not carry much supplies at all, and was completely lightly packed. Even with Han Yang's existence, the human fleet could not wait for Han Yang to slowly build a base and slowly produce materials.

Once the supply of materials is insufficient, catastrophic consequences will occur immediately. At least several billion people will die in hibernation, and at most hundreds of billions of people will die.

For other civilizations, it is impossible to succeed if they have to wake up the population one by one and rely on intelligent life to slowly build bases and slowly produce materials.

Without even basic materials, intelligent life cannot even make a basic living, so what can they use to build bases?

Once it falls into this situation, civilization will immediately die.

This is the risk of light-weight and simple large-scale interstellar voyages.

It can be said that if humans had not built a supply galaxy in advance, the Luotu civilization would never have been able to complete the feat of escaping from the Silver Alliance.

At this moment, the supply galaxy used by the Luotu civilization has completed its mission.

The bases in the supply galaxy have all self-destructed, completely destroying the corpses and disappearing all traces.

The supplies placed in advance at the edge of the galaxy have been taken away, and the Luotu fleet has once again set sail, going to a place unknown to humans, just as the Luotu civilization does not know the direction of the human fleet at this moment.

This is also good, keeping a distance is the best choice for both sides. If there is anything, just communicate directly through long-distance communication.

After completing the supply in this galaxy, Han Yang destroyed the corpses and traces again, and then manipulated the huge human fleet to enter the superluminal navigation state again, and set off again at a speed of eight times the speed of light, heading towards the edge of the Milky Way, which is also the direction of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy.

This time, because of sufficient supplies, the human fleet sailed for another five hundred years, sailed 4,000 light years away, and still had a lot of supplies left.

On this day, the human fleet once again left the superluminal navigation state and hid in a place 3 light years away from the nearest star.

Afterwards, an engineering fleet set out and continued to approach this star system at superluminal speed. At a distance of about 1.6 trillion kilometers from the star, it turned into regular navigation and continued to approach.

This is a binary star system. A blue giant and a white sub-giant rotate around each other, and violent radiation sweeps across the entire star system, scorching the three poor planets in the galaxy.

In this desolate and harsh place where no one lives, the huge construction was once again carried out under Han Yang's direct control.

Because the fifth-level civilization-level aerospace mothership had been abandoned by Han Yang, this time the construction could not be carried out in advance. It could only be carried out when the human fleet arrived and the engineering force arrived.

Han Yang waited here for a full three hundred years.

In three hundred years, the surfaces of the three planets and some satellites still maintain their past appearance, but the inside has changed a lot. A total of millions of large factories roared day and night, not only producing supplies for subsequent voyages, but also producing up to one million brand-new spaceships that have never been produced before.

Large residential spaceships.

It is a residential spaceship, not a passenger ship in the conventional sense.

Passenger ships are only for passengers to take a short ride, and they will not live on them for a long time. Large residential spaceships are of course different.

They are real places for people to live. They must not only have life support systems and living spaces on passenger ships, but also municipal facilities such as parks, roads, lawns, playgrounds, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, etc., and they must have their own planting, breeding, aquaculture bases, etc.

A large residential spaceship is a human city with a complete ecology.

Such a large residential spaceship is 20 kilometers long, about 6 kilometers wide, and 4 kilometers high. The total internal plan is divided into 40 floors, with a height of 100 meters per floor.

In this way, a large residential spaceship has a total area of ​​about 4,800 square kilometers. Excluding the spaceship facilities, there are about 3,000 square kilometers left, which can support about 1 million people to live and work comfortably and well.

And Han Yang has built a total of one million such huge spaceships. (End of this chapter)
