Chapter 361 The embarking colonial voyage

In Rune Calendar 428, the Republic launched a relatively special attempt.

The two high-level spellcasters divided their bodies into two, and in pairs, they tried to unify their minds without full contact, which was the step required to enter the inner field of vision.

As a result, in the end, they only achieved a shallow fusion of two minds coexisting at the same time, but failed to form a deep fusion that required the cells to be integrated into one. Naturally, there was no internal field of vision for them to observe.

Facts have proved that the distance of thoughts may be infinite, but the distance of matter is real. Even if high-level spellcasters can maintain ultra-long-distance control of their own bodies, they cannot fuse them under the control of a single thought in a non-contact state.

plural bodies.

In this way, the Quasar Fortress, which had been waiting at the star port even after the transformation was completed, also left the docking point due to the cancellation of subsequent tests and prepared to complete its main mission.

But this attempt was not without purpose, and the failure shown during it proved at least one thing.

At this stage, high-level spellcasters who go to the outer star field to conduct disturbance observations must send their most complete bodies to achieve their goals. As long as there is a physical body that does not participate in the fusion process, it is impossible to form an internal perspective on the observation front.

The casters originally wanted to use their clone abilities to go to multiple target areas at the same time to conduct disturbance observations, but now it seems that there is still a way to achieve this goal?

Without too much thinking, the verifiers changed the order of the entire process this time. They first conducted deep fusion in a full-contact state, and then used the body's dominant consciousness to build a new clone in the fusion state, and discovered that it

They are still under the control of their own thinking, and the other consciousness inside has not slipped into the clone because of this, even though they have undergone several internal and external transformations in the process.

So in the new next stage, the clones boarded several spaceships and headed in different directions, hoping to see whether the ultra-long distance would have an impact on the fusion state;

1 astronomical unit, 30, 100, 1000 astronomical units. 1 light year, no obstruction occurs;

It seems that as long as it is not deliberately deconstructed in the middle, the distance will not cause any interference to the integrated mind and body. At least within the distance tried this time, the previous idea can be achieved.

~~~~~~~~~

"Haven't we done this kind of thing before?"

Looking at the relevant presentation in the virtual realm, Nesta asked with some doubts towards Jian Ya who came to exchange some other questions.

"Oh, you're talking about the time when we got close to the mammoth. They were still little kids contributing their thoughts in dreams at that time, so they probably didn't notice it;"

Jian Ya smiled and explained,

"We haven't experienced the ultra-remote verification in the second half, so we can't say it is worthless."

"That's true. At least I saw the somewhat rigid 'prevent and guard' inside."

"Isn't it thanks to this rigidity? Otherwise, there would be no opportunity to take advantage of others. Let's get back to the topic. What do you think about black hole exploration?"

Even though it was of no use, Nesta still rubbed the center of her eyebrows with her fingertips habitually, and then responded in a deep voice,

"It's 900 light-years. It would take us about 1,300 years to arrive at least now. If we want to achieve observation, we must set off with crews, but this distance and the span of navigation it represents really make me a little bit confused.

"Embarrassed"

The 'year' that Nesta refers to here refers to the 'home star year' which has 480 days and 48 light hours every day. The Earth in the previous life would have spanned a full 3,400 years;

Is such a long and distant journey really something that should be considered now, and what will be the state of the explorers during the journey once it actually takes place.

"I can understand the reason for Azshara's objection, Fang. This is really too long, so long that we can't even imagine what will happen in the process."

"But the distance will not automatically shorten due to waiting. The earlier you set off, the more likely you are to arrive a day earlier! And technology is always improving, right? As long as the virtual connection is maintained, the physical crew will have the ability to make changes to the spacecraft along the way.

Continuous improvement does not necessarily take that long in the end.”

"What if the connection to the virtual realm continues early and late, but is interrupted in the middle? When the time comes, it will neither go back nor go back. What should the crew members in the spacecraft do?"

"What else can we do? Either keep moving forward, or if that doesn't work, find a place to thrive. As long as it's not too unlucky, we can't survive anywhere? Maybe by the time the follow-up exploration team from our headquarters arrives, there will already be babies rolling around there.

It’s time, little cubs~”

"What you said may make sense, but who should we let take the risk?"

"I'm willing myself, you just need to find a partner who can let me get inside!"

At this time, a phantom suddenly appeared in the room. The oldest elf in reality was looking at his face that was no different from the younger one, and asked the two people present with doubts,

"Fang, why do you need me to come here?"

~~~~~~

Rune Calendar Year 430

Five quasar fortresses with a diameter of 500 kilometers are hovering around the central moon. Pillars of light are emitted from multiple points below them, and then shine straight on the moon surface;

Basically, a short columnar thing can be seen moving up and down in each light pillar. There is no other connection between them and the moon surface and quasar other than the light pillar. There is no engine-like movement in itself, but

It doesn't seem to hinder the continuous up and down movement between the light pillars.

On the lunar surface below, there are currently millions of cuboid-shaped capsules scattered all over the place. Some of them are housing dormant alien races, and some of them store various materials that may be needed, and even some of them store various materials that may be needed.

Some living animals, plants and monsters are also stored in categories;

They were first integrated and sent into larger containers, and then floated into the relay gravity elevator that descended from the light beam. Finally, they were lifted uniformly in batches to the Quasar Fortress, seemingly to

Let’s go to a relatively distant place together.

This is indeed the case. Three of them carry the Republic's first large-scale immigration development operation, which aims to expand the living space and increase the scope of resource acquisition. The target is the "Lost Fortress" that already exists and has been carried out in advance.

Three developed Proxima Centauri galaxies with terrestrial planets or rock-based satellites;

Among them, Proxima 5, which is the binary star system with neutron stars, also has another quasar fortress ready to go, but there are almost no living creatures other than elven researchers in it;

Because there are no rock-based planets there, not even the more severe gas giants or ice planets, which means there is no more suitable place to stay except for the fortress itself.

So at this time, the crew members preparing to go to Proximity 5 are basically scholars and spell casters with the idea of ​​going to study neutron stars. There are even several sleeping cabins for high-level spell casters, which will also be supplied.

The growth materials given to them were sent all the way into the Quasar Fortress;

For example, decayed super heavy metals, frozen axolotl meat paste, as well as the reproductive cells of axolotls and other valuable monsters and animals, as well as some healthy females and strong male males.

Most of these scholars who are preparing to go to Biling 5 are spell casters affiliated with the Gravitational Traction and Space Shattering Research Institute, and some are also a group of warriors who have developed the gravitational field as one of their own dimorphisms;

These warriors are not just big muscles and brains. Instead, most of them are also scholars. Their research directions are basically related to their own dimorphism, and their cognitive level in gravitational fields, gravitons, and massive stars.

, it will not be lower than that of spellcasting scholars;

The gap between the two parties is mainly reflected in the diversity of individual means. In terms of research, the gap other than internal observation is bridged by inscription equipment, because the concept of "when manpower is limited" is also the same in this world.

pass; pass

Even Nesta, who stands at the pinnacle of individual abilities, still has many sophisticated attempts in the field of scientific research that rely on these devices, such as the exploration of new directions in self-cultivation and atoms.

Let’s talk about the action itself

The other fortresses that are about to leave also have more supplies, because not only are the sleeping cabins of high-level spellcasters sent there, but there are also hundreds of thousands of immigrants of all races, thousands of

The elven immigrants need to set off on ships to establish settlements on the surfaces of various star regions.

Naturally, their initial operations also require the supply of resources, especially the demand for living organisms, species germ cell stocks, plant seeds, etc., which is only more than that of the Proximity 5 exploration ship;

On the contrary, similar to heavy metals, the demand for super-heavy metals will be less because there are many mining sites waiting for them.

In addition to these four fortress spacecraft that are preparing to go to several Proxima galaxies, another quasar of the same specifications appears to be a little deserted. It is about to set off for an ultra-long-distance fortress 900 light-years away.

Since the number of crew members on the ship is strictly limited by the parliament, only less than 300 scholars headed by Sharptooth and Rough Tooth will sail to the distance together. The destination is naturally the black hole closest to the home star.

But in addition to this ultimate goal, it is also tasked with exploring the star fields along the way, and therefore the spacecraft has been equipped with an 'Elven Germ Cell Bank', a species bank, a frozen dormancy bank, and a larger 'flesh and metal cultivation cabin'

', a more complete ecological simulation cabin, as well as a series of life-sustaining reserves and facilities in terms of water and energy;

The spacecraft will drop virtual corridor base stations along the way to allow the Republic's projection range to become farther in at least one direction, thereby supporting the country's ability to understand a wider area.

In addition, no one can give a definite answer to the specific situation hundreds of light years away. The virtual realm may fail, loneliness may spread, and even the spacecraft may be damaged that cannot be repaired in time;

And by that time, perhaps the elven germ cell bank carried on the ship will allow them to establish a second home in a distant place.

Of course, regardless of whether they go there or not, all the elves hope that everything will go smoothly, and they also hope to achieve a technological breakthrough in voyages as soon as possible, thereby shortening the time required for this journey.

~~~~~~~~

The busyness on the moon is still continuing, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner with a high degree of automation under the control of the intelligent brain;

On the other side, a little further away, you can see the shadows and entities of many elves gathered together, seeming to be talking to each other.

There are five individuals who look exactly the same and even have the same physical data. They are part of the focus of sight and conversation in the group;

But more focus was focused on the scholars who signed up to go 900 light years away. At this time, more elves were surrounding them.

Nesta's five 40,000-ton clones are one of the focal points. They seem to be preparing to enter the five fortresses and go to five different directions with the ships. As for what he plans to do next, only he knows for the time being.

These clones all look like big, muscular men, and are nearly thirty meters tall. The integrated data in all aspects are exactly the standards for adult individuals in Central Asia in the new era, so they have a relatively high level.

Strong adaptability to purely physical environments;

If additional factors such as spell casting ability and inscription assistance are included, the data will be stacked to a higher level than the complete form, so this mere voyage between star systems is not a high risk for him.

Behavior.

But obviously, not all elves present think so.

~~~~~

As the first Grand Archon, Azshara always has 4% of her thinking threads, maintaining a state of integration with the two main central intelligence brains of reality and reality. She cannot take it back until the end of her thousand-year term, provided that she does not intend to

Or if he is not re-elected.

The advantage is that it can use the huge computing power and functionality of the two to relatively easily manage all affairs of the Republic in the virtual and real worlds, and it can control the underlying algorithmic logic of the intelligent brain itself, and has the ability to completely reset its operating mode.

structure, suspension, and the ability to shut down completely with parliamentary permission.

The disadvantage is that due to reasons such as integration and architectural stability, these 4% of thinking threads are equivalent to part of the intelligent brain. They are not unable to be used, but will not be mobilized for thinking and behavior in other directions.

;

In the past, this was actually relatively easy to say. After all, the remaining 96% was enough to deal with the rest of her affairs in research, life, practice, etc.;

But now the situation is a little different

When the other high-level spellcasters advance, they may meditate intermittently according to their own preferences, but Azshara, who has always been strong and believes that it is necessary to advance as soon as possible, always maintains the depth.

Meditative state, and devote up to 95.9% of the thinking thread to this

In other words, only 0.01% or less of the threads can be used to act freely. Even though she is a high-level spell caster and has shown obvious abnormalities, this 'abnormality' is not

Simple stupidity and slowness.

Strictly speaking, the thinking of high-level spellcasters exists in the form of counting point data, and the remaining 0.01% will not directly perform their past responsibilities, but will first reintegrate the counting points and then form

A data-based thinking body with complete basic functions;

As a result, while retaining his behavioral abilities and personality to the greatest extent, he lost his powerful computing power, as well as various characteristics supported by computing power such as calmness and wisdom.

Therefore, after such a calculation and reconstruction, the consciousness she could support was no different from that of an ordinary girl in Nesta's previous life, and she showed an obvious state of concern and confusion at this time.

With her back to the elf warrior wearing a silver close-fitting spacesuit further away, Azshara randomly picked a Nesta and hugged its arm tightly, and then kept reminding her in her heart with worry,

"Don't run around. You must be careful, you know? Don't leave the fortress at high speed unless necessary."

Nesta kept smiling and nodding to show that she understood, and responded comfortingly,

"Don't worry too much. I won't mess around. I still have most of my body here. I can handle even the most dangerous situation."

"Okay. Anyway, be careful. After all, it is still a part of the body. It would be heartbreaking and a pity to lose it."

"Okay Azshara, you are chirping like a little girl. Coarse Tooth and I are also in danger. Why don't you come to persuade us?"

After glaring at the fang gently, Azshara floated up and kissed the lips of the four Nestas respectively, and said her final farewell to them;

After that, she floated up to Fan Ya and Ku Ya again, hugged and pressed their cheeks, stared at Fan Ya fiercely and cursed softly,

"You are too stubborn. You have already said that 900 light-years are too far away and now is not the time, so you insist on taking so many elves and risking this trip. What if something goes wrong along the way?"

"Haha, they all signed up voluntarily but no one forced them to go. I was really shocked~"

And on the side, after hearing the words, Ku Ya continued lightly,

"I was forced to do so"

"Old guy, stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, it's time to set off soon. Still noisy, you two have to spend a long time together this time, but don't overturn the fortress. Have you prepared your friends and partners here?

"

A clone of Nesta stepped forward and gently hugged the waist of Azshara's projection. After speaking to two old men who were hundreds of years old, he asked a few questions about the preparations of the group of travelers next to them.

Azshara, who was ultimately unable to go there in person due to responsibilities and other reasons, did not say anything more. As for the other elves who were traveling with her,

Although in addition to being Nesta's partner, she is also the chief consul of the entire republic, and she also has her own responsibilities to the citizens;

But when the main thread is in deep meditation, this responsibility will naturally be performed by the wiser 4% of the brain, and there is no need for this projection to say some encouraging and motivational words.

But these elves who are about to travel together are actually facing risks that far exceed those of Nesta.

Most of them cannot or will not have physical clones remaining in their headquarters. The warriors, warlocks, and mid-level spellcasters among them do not have the ability to create physical clones, while the high-level spellcasters need to complete internal disturbance observation.

Naturally, one needs to take all one’s body with him on the ship;

Of course, there are also those who adopt the method of 'first fuse and then clone', but most of them are not to avoid risks but to see more, just like Nesta did not keep her main body in her home base to seek safety.

~~~~~~~~~

As time passed, all preparations were completed.

On the moon at this time, except for a very few field workers, there were no more figures. With these supplies, foreigners and elves were sent to the fortress, and Nesta also entered.

transportation module, and entered the interior of five quasars respectively under the guidance of the light beam.

Then, the new medium-free frequency conversion engines were started. They simultaneously captured the gravitational fields of dozens of massive stars in all directions and turned them into a special force field that could not be directly observed by the naked eye.

, as if they were being pulled, and as if they were gliding in the space curvature potential difference, they began to advance slowly under the effect of their common spells.

The three-star lunar system is laid out perpendicular to the ecliptic plane of the solar system, and the distance between each star is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Even though the quasar fortresses each have a huge size of 500 kilometers in diameter, for the entire system

It’s definitely not a behemoth;

Therefore, they successfully moved away from the central area at a limited speed, and then opened the same invisible light-sensitive field of faith. Even if there were countless holy beams of light being stimulated from the moon surface and from all over the three stars, they swayed in the void.

After layer by layer ripples are projected onto the photosensitive field, they play a role.

As a result, the acceleration process of Quasar Fortress has been significantly improved, and it is quickly approaching a speed that can be described as multiples of the speed of light.

During the process, large-mass stars within a certain distance on the advancing sector are being captured and directionally amplified under the action of the variable frequency engine group, extending from thirty light years, fifty light years, one hundred light years, five hundred light years, to thousands.

Light years, from dozens, hundreds, thousands, to tens of thousands.

As the scope of action continues to expand, and as more and more gravitational fields are captured, the fortress body gains faster and faster acceleration;

However, the density of stars in the remote outskirts of the river system cannot be compared with that in the inner periphery, and the variable frequency engine technology has only been initially applied. The effective range it can form is less than a thousand light years, so it is not enough at the moment.

To completely replace the role of the light sail propulsion system.

However, tens of thousands of stars still formed an invisible rail with a huge potential difference in front of them. In addition, there were always holy light generators relaying irradiation along the way, allowing each fortress to reach about 0.05 in just over a day.

It is twice the speed of light, and is accelerating faster and faster as it travels away from the sun;

And when they arrived at the outer layers of the solar system in all directions and received the last laser delivery at the edge of the material cloud belt, they finally climbed to 0.7 times the speed of light with the combined force of several propulsion methods, and this is what they are today.

The highest achievable interstellar speed.
