Red Emergency Meeting

Here is Kaptan, the third planet, the branch of humanity represented by the Golden Sun.

The climate on the surface of the planet is always so cold and harsh. At a temperature of more than one hundred and eighty degrees below zero, water vapor and carbon dioxide freeze into a mass of white solid. At the north and south poles of this planet, you can even find lakes composed of organic matter such as methane and ethane. These simple organic minerals are undoubtedly very beneficial to the development of human beings.

There are a total of 30 million human colonists living in underground cities at a depth of one kilometer under the planet.

The fire of nuclear fusion has brought endless energy, and it is also the greatest courage of human interstellar colonization.

The old captain Xu Peng squinted his eyes, looking at the distant starry sky through a thick layer of glass. Because the planet is too cold, the atmosphere is all frozen solid, so the air is thin, and the distant stars are extremely clear.

Xu Peng is distinguishing which one is the sun and which one is Gliese 581.

The sun at this distance can barely be seen with the naked eye, but Gliese 581...is too dim, and you have to use an astronomical telescope to see a vague shadow.

The old captain Xu Peng retired to the second line ten years ago because of his lack of energy.

But the old man is always restless, and he has become a volunteer worker at the observatory. Taking children to see the starry sky in their spare time, teaching them how to use a telescope, and teaching the next generation is also quite a good feeling.

However, no children came to the Observatory today. It may be because the final exam is approaching, and the students are very nervous about reviewing... The education of the entire civilization is still very strict, and everyone must study hard.

drop!

Five o'clock sharp, off work.

Anyway, being idle is boring, so Xu Peng put on his power armor and walked into the vacuum chamber not far away.

hiss!

The air pump slowly draws out the air in the vacuum chamber. Immediately afterwards, he opened the door of the air lock and made a heavy "click". Fortunately, the gas in this room has been pumped out almost, and not much air leaked out.

The electronic prompt in the safety gate sounded, "A-level authority personnel, General Xu Peng, hello." "Please be careful when going

out, and pay attention to outdoor safety. The outdoor temperature is currently minus 182 degrees Celsius."

Xu Peng walked along the glass tunnel to an observatory.

From this position, you can see the space elevator at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers. If you use the telescope function of the powered armor, you can clearly see that the centrifugal wheel rotating above is rotating, and various transport spacecraft are coming and going. And a...

huge mothership!

Yes, for interstellar expeditions, there must be a super mothership, so that it can accommodate more people.

And more population means more productivity and maintenance capabilities. Especially the latter-maintenance ability, in the starry sky, without maintenance, it is impossible for a warship composed of an army to span a distance of several light years.

"It would be great if human beings could live longer... Then there would be no need for long-term hibernation, the required population would be smaller, and the spacecraft could be built smaller." For this interstellar voyage, the relevant interstellar

voyage Astronaut training is also ongoing and has lasted for more than 20 years.

"In another three to five years, the entire Starfleet will be built...and ready to go."

Thinking of this, Xu Peng couldn't help but feel very excited about it.

Although this is the story of young people, but the old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles, is here to shine and shine, and it is good to use a little waste heat.

The starting target this time is the nearest star JM7812317, about 4.7 light-years away, a star near the cosmic string.

11 years ago, through the largest astronomical telescope, human beings actually observed the flash of the nuclear bomb on the next-door planet!

Of course, the flashes of these nuclear bombs are very weak. According to the rational judgment after the fact, it should be a war within the planet, not a large-scale interstellar war.

In other words, this unknown civilization actually had an internal nuclear war!

Therefore, after some discussion, the high-level civilization decided that the first stop of the interstellar voyage did not have a very good goal anyway, so they simply went to this planet for scientific investigation.

Even if you collect history, it is good to perfect the history of new civilization.

"However, the military still needs to be strengthened...Since an internal nuclear war broke out in this civilization, it is theoretically a warlike type. It is unlikely that it will rise again within a few decades, and it may even be self-destructed. However, After all, we must take precautions..."

A voice suddenly sounded in my ear, it was my good friend Lu Zhongping. The two old men often look at the space above here.

Xu Peng nodded: "Interstellar travel is definitely risky, but the benefits will be even greater... We humans are exploring technology here alone, it is too slow. If this continues, it will not be a good thing. "

Even if this civilization's overall technology is not as advanced as ours, there must be something different..." "

Hey, if you contact a more powerful civilization, you will undoubtedly gain more... But our common sense about cosmic civilization is too lacking Now, it's better to contact from a weaker civilization." "

If we get a good result, can we send a copy to the other two civilizations… I just don't know if the Earth Era exists, or if we just It's just useless work."

The wrinkles on Lu Zhongping's face were like deep valleys. He still remembered the bets he made with those young people. Some said a hundred years, some said two hundred years, and Say three hundred years.

Almost sixty years have passed like this...

Time flies like a white horse, and the world is like white clouds and dogs. I really hope that I can wait for the news in my lifetime...

"I just don't know how many years I have to live."

Didi! Didi! Didi!

While feeling so emotional, the communication device on the power armor of the two suddenly rang. Xu Peng glanced at the red mark, and his heart tightened instantly.

Red emergency meeting!

There are three levels of emergency meetings, the highest level is red, the second level is orange, and the lowest level is blue.

The red emergency meeting is almost the most important one. According to regulations, everyone who receives the message must rush to the nearest meeting site within 10 minutes!

"I don't know what happened..."

"The asteroid is about to hit the base? Is this enough to meet the red standard?"

Full of worries, the two hurried back to the underground base, guessing wildly in their hearts.

Along the way, I saw many people screaming and carnivaling, it was like having a carnival party, I couldn't understand it.

"What's going on?"

Xu Peng stopped a young man who was flushed with excitement. The blood vessels on his forehead even protruded from this guy's excitement.

"Old Captain...Earth...Earth!" The young man started to stutter because he was too nervous. He could only spit out the word "Earth", but couldn't continue.

However, that's not what he wanted to express at all!

This made him more and more anxious, his face was red and swollen like a red balloon, and he actually forgot how to say the second half of the sentence.

"Could it be a letter from the civilization of the earth?" Lu Zhongping, who stood aside, made a look of sudden realization, "So that's the case, this is really good news."

"But will the earth civilization really do this kind of thing? Let's go, let's go and see the civilization."

This kind of misunderstanding made the young people even more anxious. What kind of earth civilization is obviously the human branch of the earth age name, which is completely different. The two concepts of ah.

Finally, he struggled and came up with a good solution. He grabbed his hair fiercely. The severe pain caused him to break through the boundaries of his brain, "Old Captain, Professor Lu..."

" It's not the earth...it's the Earth Times who wrote back to us!"
