Chapter 495 Selection of the target star system

It doesn't seem to be a good place to consolidate power.

More importantly, Proxima Centauri is too close to the solar system.

If aliens come to Earth in the future.

Then eight out of ten will send people to Proxima Centauri to find themselves.

I believe that there should not be a safe place.

If you don't go to Proxima Centauri, you have to go to other places.

For example, Barnard, who is five or nine light years away from the earth.

Wolf at 7:7 light-years.

Sirius at 8:6 light-years.

Or the constellation uv, which is 8:7 light-years away from the earth, etc.

None of these star systems exceeds ten light years.

In theory, they are all more suitable places.

But now the problem that Su Han faces is, is the closer the better, but the farther the better.

In Su Han's opinion, it is a high-risk area within ten light years.

If the aliens come to these star systems a few years after they arrive, then after all, Isn’t it in vain to work hard for so many years?

Nearly stars seem to be not the best choice.

But the problem is that the star system more than ten light years away seems to be too far away.

Because even light has to run for ten years.

Even if the Huaxia can accelerate to 10% of the speed of light.

In theory, it will take a hundred years to fly.

Count the acceleration and deceleration time.

It may take more than one hundred and fifty years in the end.

Thinking about it, Su Han was a little overwhelmed.

Unless you can make the spacecraft reach 50% of the speed of light.

In fact, Su Han has been collecting Helium Three in the past few years.

The helium three on the ship are now enough to accelerate their fleet to 50% of the speed of light.

However, the acceleration efficiency of the working fluid-free engine is too low.

The fleet wants to accelerate to 50% of the speed of light.

It may take more than a thousand years to do it.

And accelerate for a thousand years!

It will take a thousand years to slow down!

Light accelerates and decelerates for two thousand years.

It is equivalent to being able to reach the Han Dynasty until modern times.

The huge time cost made Su Han unacceptable.

If you want to speed up, it is best to use a working condition.

Short time.

It's almost done in just twenty years.

But the problem is that the amount of fuel consumed in working fluid state is amazing.

If Su Han wanted to accelerate the entire fleet to 50% of the speed of light.

It takes about 100 million tons of helium three.

Such a large helium three consumption is not enough even if the entire fleet turns into fuel.

Su Han felt a little overwhelmed now.

Su Han said: "By the way, Shenlong! Which star system do you think is more suitable for us to go to?"

Shenlong said: "Theoretically, the closer the star system is, the higher the cost-effectiveness. However, the nearest Proxima Celestial star system is relatively complex and is not the most preferred.

The second-closest Barnard star system is just a red dwarf, and it is observed that there are only two gas planets, which are not conducive to long-term development.

The situation in the Wolf 359 star system is similar.

The best one is actually Sirius.

Sirius is a blue dwarf, large enough, and has a white dwarf as a companion star. The overall star system is large enough, and theoretically there should be more resources. Although blue dwarfs have a much shorter lifespan than yellow dwarfs, Sirius is still in the main sequence stage and is still very safe in a short period of time."

Su Han said: "But the problem is that I want to find a star system that is farther and smaller. It is best to be an inconspicuous brown dwarf or red dwarf! It is best to be able to develop it. The distance is better! It is best to be ten light years away or within twenty light years.

Do you have any good goals?”

Shenlong said: "There are many targets. Within twenty light years, there are many brown dwarfs that are almost not very luminous, and red dwarfs with very low brightness. But the problem now is that a star system ten light years away will take a long time to reach. With the speed of Huaxia, it may take hundreds of years to fly. The boss is sure to plan to fly for such a long time?"

Su Han said: "It is of course the best way to be quicker. You said that with the Helium Three Reserves on our warships, is there any cost-effective acceleration method?"

Shenlong said: "If the boss wants to increase the speed while reducing the acceleration time, the best way is to use hybrid power, that is, to use working fluid and no working fluid. In theory, it can accelerate the spacecraft to 18% of the speed of light within fifty years! But it will consume 45% of the fleet's fuel. This will fly about 15 light years in about 150 years. But the problem is that after the slowdown is successful, it will not be able to accelerate again. If the boss cannot find a stable supply of helium three in his galaxy, the fleet will lose its power."

Su Han thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter! As long as we can reach a star system, I believe the remaining time is enough for us to complete the upgrade of the nuclear fusion engine."

For Su Han, the most abundant resource in the universe is hydrogen.

Theoretically, the most cost-effective fuel for a nuclear fusion engine is of course hydrogen.

But the problem is that neutrons are easily generated when hydrogen fusion occurs.

Neutrons can damage the engine.

It doesn't matter if it's on Earth.

If it is broken, it can be replaced.

However, it is also conceivable that the replacement of accessories is broken when the space navigation is used.

What's more, it's hundreds of years of continuous sailing.

How many accessories are enough to bring?

At least when aliens are about to come to kill each other.

How can Su Han have time to complete a difficult nuclear fusion engine like fusion?

However, if we can find a relatively stable star system now.

Getting started to develop.

Then conquer the fusion technology.

I believe that the entire universe can be allowed to travel in the future.

...

Su Han also made a decision.

It was decided to fly in the direction of the Glitzer star system first.

Then, within sixteen light years near the route, find a red dwarf or brown dwarf with a smaller size, lower brightness, and develop in a low-key manner.

I believe that no matter how much those aliens think, they will never expect to find such a small place to get involved.

By the time I conquer more advanced engine technology.

Find a better place to develop.

...

Su Han then called the first high-level council.

Eighty percent of the directors of the Huaxia University are members of the Dragon Academy.

The remaining twenty percent are executives from several Mars cities.

But without exception, everyone is Su Han’s confidant.

These people are loyal to Su Han.

After all, unfaithful people are not qualified to sit here.

Su Han looked at everyone and said, "This time I have a council meeting! I have important things to tell you about. I believe that all the directors should also be prepared. This long journey is destined to be a battle with time.

Different star systems are based on light years.

Even with the power of Huaxia, it takes at least a hundred years to fly to different star systems, and at most hundreds of years.

Under normal circumstances, we should choose a relatively close star system. But I believe everyone knows the situation of the spacecraft. Acceleration is difficult and deceleration is also difficult. Acceleration and deceleration alone may take more than a hundred years.
