The third message is that the nearby resources are abundant, and the stars and planets are dense.

There is a red dwarf star 1 light-year away from the two neutron stars, and a yellow dwarf star 1.2 light-years away. The planet above has liquid water resources. . The stars in this area are obviously denser than those in the solar system.

This is pretty good news, neutral and positive.

After the human beings and the Toth civilization have completed the entire big goal, they still have to prepare to escape from the impact of the entire neutron star collision.

At that time, it is best for the two civilizations to separate and develop their own.

Since there are so many stars to choose from, everyone can choose at will, and basically there will be no major conflicts.

In fact, this is basically within the expectations of scientists. The predecessor of the neutron star is a blue dwarf. After the life of the blue dwarf is exhausted, a supernova explosion will form a neutron star.

Since there are two neutron stars here, it means that there have been two supernova explosions.

The two supernova explosions basically wiped out the life of the surrounding 50 light-year planets, so there is no need to have any psychological burden to detonate the collision of two neutron stars.

Yes, this kind of problem must be considered in advance. If it is true that neutron stars collided 100,000 years earlier, causing a large number of surrounding civilizations to perish, maybe some fifth-level Virgin civilizations will come to make trouble!

On the other hand, supernova explosions also produced a large number of heavy elements, such as gold, silver, copper and iron. Therefore, the proportion of heavy elements in the surrounding planetary system will be much higher than that of the conventional planetary system...

The higher the density of the planet, that is, the higher the content of metal elements, the more suitable it is for the development of planetary fortresses. This is certain.

Zhang Yuan exhaled lightly. There was nothing surprising about this expected event, but there was still a faint sense of excitement in his heart.

A ready-made metal planet is the best choice for developing a battle star. It is equivalent to a ready-made super iron lump. Unlike the earth, it also has structures such as the crust, mantle, and core.

Of course, the development of Battle Star does not mean that it can be developed with ready-made materials, but also requires sufficient scientific and technological strength and a lot of time accumulation.

At present, the densely packed large-scale engineering equipment on this leased planetary fortress was purchased for it, and the boss spent a lot of points!

In addition, there is a fourth news, which is a specific astronomical report on the "neutron star-neutron star" binary star system.

The neutron star is only a dozen kilometers in size, yes, only a dozen kilometers, and it looks about the same size as the Bright Galaxy.

What concept? Compared with the diameter of the earth's 12,000 kilometers, it is just a small spot. Compared with the diameter of the sun of 1.4 million kilometers, it is like the sesame next to the watermelon, which cannot be seen!

But its power is astonishingly large, and its mass is greater than that of the sun!

The neutron star with the smallest mass is also 1.4 times that of the sun! Concentration is the essence. If the earth is scratched by a neutron star, even without scratching, a little gravity can completely tear the earth apart.

Due to the high-speed revolving between them, the centers of mass of the two neutron stars are actually in the void at a certain point on the line connecting the middle. Therefore, from the perspective of the simple physical model, it is equivalent to all the stars in the entire binary star system revolving around the center of mass of this point in the void, and it is a stable system.

The number of planets inside is astonishing, there are more than 60 terrestrial planets larger than the moon!

And most of them are very young and lively, and there are many Jupiter-like planets, which are distributed within 20 AU.

These Jupiter-like planets are relatively far away from the binary star system, but their volume is very large, which may be caused by the absorption of a large amount of hydrogen in the previous two supernovae. They would make very good nuclear fuel depots.

Yuan Zhang is focusing on Earth-like planets that have the potential to be transformed into planetary fortresses.

Because these terrestrial planets are relatively young, their age should not exceed 1 billion years, and various volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are frequent. That is to say, if the core of a certain planet is likely to have not been completely cooled, it will increase the difficulty of various engineering. times.

The energy of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes comes from the nuclear fission of radioactive materials at the core of the planet. No matter how high the human level is, it is impossible to prevent the spontaneous nuclear fission of these heavy elements.

When seeing these materials, one of the professors said worriedly: "No, the cores of these planets have not been completely cooled, and the inside is full of magma, which will not be suitable as a planetary fortress."

"...Because under the super-powerful propulsion of the planetary engine, normal plates can't support this kind of propulsion at all, and soon the entire continent will be shaken to pieces, causing the planetary engine to be damaged."

Compared with the entire planet, the planet's crust is as fragile as a layer of egg membrane on the surface of an egg. This layer of membrane alone cannot support the mass of the entire planet.

The structure of the planetary engine, at least tens or even hundreds of kilometers deep, can barely be stabilized until it reaches the mantle layer below.

In other words, it is necessary to choose that type of metal planet whose core has been completely cooled.

However, it is impossible to find out which planet has completely cooled inside and which planet is still active through astronomical observations from a distance here, and field investigations will be required at that time.

There is not much time for on-site inspections, at most only one month.

"The battle star under our feet will only be leased for one month. When the lease time is up, it will return, and there will be no room for regret. Time is tight."

Beads of sweat could not help but appear on Zhang Yuan's forehead. This may be the most important choice made by human beings for thousands of years. Once they choose the wrong path, the future will be quite painful, not only for their generation, but also for the next ten or twenty generations.

After reading these objective conditions, the scientists of the two civilizations all began to make suggestions and use these astronomical data to calculate the volume, density, mass, magnetic field, etc. of these planets.

Of course, the higher the density, the better, the higher the density. However, the mass of this kind of planet should not be too large, and it will be troublesome to push it if the mass is large. It is best not to exceed one-third of the mass of the moon.

You can even choose a large ice ball that is completely frozen. There are no serious stars in this ghost place. The light intensity emitted by the two neutron stars is so weak that the planets here are generally below minus 250 degrees Celsius!

It is also a good choice to choose a completely frozen ice ball to develop a planetary fortress. Anyway, this thing is only a one-time use, and people don't care whether it can be used for a long time.

After such careful selection, a total of six planets with a probability of more than 80% meeting the conditions were found.

At that time, we have to conduct field inspections.

Next, the two parties announced their maximum productivity, promising to expand the population in the future, and allocate at least how much productivity to use for the construction of planetary engines.

That's right, the future will indeed expand the population. No matter what the plan is, the population must be expanded, and the development of all walks of life must be reduced, whether it is technology, industry, or social mobilization. All these years of preparatory work were not in vain.

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the scientists on the stage introduce alternate plans one by one.

"...to propel a planet with a mass comparable to 20% of the moon, at least 30,000 planetary engines need to be built. According to the current productivity of the two parties, the productivity of the two civilizations can be completed in theoretically 1200-1500 years... also That is to manufacture 30 planetary engines every year."

In theory, it is so fast. After all, the mechanical tools covering the entire battle star are not bought for nothing. The most important thing is the implementation.

In fact, this is a very crude method. People just install planetary engines on the planets, and all kinds of miscellaneous functions such as weapon functions and ecological functions are not needed. This kind of planet can only move at most, and it is not a real "battle". Star", but undoubtedly reduced a lot of time.

It will eventually be scrapped, there is no need to make it too delicate.

And people's basic necessities of life will still be in the spaceship.
