Chapter 712: Chapter 438: The Garbage Dump of the Cancerous Universe_1
Since breaking through the Solar System in 2351, human civilization began the Orion Arm era under an indescribable sense of urgency.
The Salvation Association, which has taken the stage, ford a new Orion Arm United Governnt.
On January 1, 2500, the Solar System was covered by a do, and the Howorld began to enter the countdown to destruction.
In the sa year, during the Miracle Twenty Years, although Star woke up within the Solar System, the core architecture was compiled into photoelectric signals and transmitted out by those left in the Solar System.
In 2515, Orion Arm humans outside the Solar System rebuilt another Star — a larger, more powerful, and more computationally intensive super-quantum intelligence.
With the help of the Star, the colonies quickly completed the integration of the system, ford an interstellar republic federation, and nad the more than 100 light-years of the civilization integration body as the Morrowind Empire.
This republic and federation system, nad as the Empire, appears very strange and bizarre.
In the new interstellar era, new demands are put forward for the civilization system.
Even in the ideologically unified and common-goal-oriented Salvation internal, disagreents arose.
So people think that since war is imminent, they should enter a state of armant in advance and adopt military dictatorship.
However, so people believe that if the military dictatorship lasts for five hundred years, it will greatly suppress and stifle human creativity, so they advocate a referendum republic that can inspire the people’s fighting spirit as much as possible.
But so people feel that the advancent of civilization needs great navigators, and most people should be more determined to advance along the path guided by a small number of outstanding leaders, so the federal parliantary system should be implented.
Others believe that the parliant system, which needs referendums for everything, is inefficient and affects social productivity, and is not conducive to the rapid decision-making needs of warti, so a modern imperial system should be instituted that differs from the ancient imperial system, where one or several worthy absolute correct leaders are elected.
However, humans fail to select perfect leaders that are beyond reproach, and no one claims to have the ability to bear this burden, so in the end, this strange Republican federal system empire erged.
In the absence of absolute leaders, the Federal Parliant is the mainstay.
The na Morrowind Empire was adopted because almost all mbers of the Salvation movent followed the historical instructions, waiting for the philosopher Harrison Clark to descend after a thousand years to lead humanity forward again.
The late Harrison Clark had been invisibly guiding the direction of civilization’s progress, playing an important role in promoting unity and eliminating differences.
This ideology created an apocalyptic end-tis within the Solar System but beca the core driving force for humanity’s unison and progress in the external Orion Arm civilization.
The Orion Arm Civilization ford an ultra-era system focusing on constantly and rapidly improving productivity; accelerating reproduction and increasing population as the top strategy; advocating academic fairness, accelerating academic exchanges, improving comprehensive education, forming a borderless academic atmosphere as the core idea; and achieving the ultimate goal of finding the perfect balance between productivity, scientific and technological innovation, and military strength developnt.
These four basic elents are the eternal the of the developnt of Orion Arm Civilization for more than six hundred years.
In short, under the guidance of this conflicting yet rational civilization system, the developnt process of mankind seed to be fast-forwarded.
Human productivity exploded, everything pursued efficiency, caring more about oneself than the overall harmony of the universe.
At the sa ti, due to the continuous improvent of Matter-Energy Conversion Technology, a large number of tals, semiconductors, low atomic isotopes, and other substances with astronomical numbers were consud by humans, using the energy of many stars.
The performance of the fifth-generation Dyson mbrane is far superior to any of the previous generation mbranes seen by Harrison Clark, with the highest absorption efficiency of stellar radiation energy reaching 90%, and a very high absorption capacity limit.
The performance improvent of the fourth and fifth-generation Dyson mbranes is not about efficiency, but about the upper limit of energy absorption and conversion, which is currently up to 100 tis the limit of the third-generation Dyson mbrane in absorbing solar energy.
It is said that the sixth-generation Dyson mbrane under developnt can absorb up to a thousand tis that of the third generation.
At present, humans have built more than 100,000 fifth-generation Dyson mbranes, most of which are located in uninhabited pure industrial production star systems.
In the prosperous planetary systems with a large population, the Dyson mbrane only operates at conventional performance, and the absorption rate is even suppressed to 60%.
However, in the industrial planetary systems, the absorption rate of the Dyson mbrane is increased to 90%, and there are also unmanned ships called “stellar excavators” hovering near the stars, continuously emitting physical toxins towards the stars to increase their internal reaction intensity, so that the rate of radiation energy release to the outside is greatly accelerated, thus allowing the Dyson mbrane surrounding these stars to produce more usable energy.
Based on the strength and frequency of the flares on the surface of the stars as a reference, the integrated explosion index of artificially enhanced reaction intensity stars is at least tens to hundreds of tis that of the sun.
This ans that the lifetis of these stars have been artificially shortened by humans by tens to hundreds of tis and will more quickly complete their youth, middle age, and decline, eventually becoming white dwarfs, neutron stars, or physical black holes.
If human civilization still has tens of millions of years of developnt ti, they might indeed burn out all the stars in the Orion Arm prematurely, and then move the entire population to the next galactic arm until the entire galaxy is exhausted.
By then, the entire Milky Way galaxy will probably be drained by human civilization, turning into a dead, silent graveyard of stars.
Harrison Clark always compared humans to the cancer of the universe, and now it seems that the bla is not misplaced.
If stars had wisdom, they would definitely curse.
Although advanced Matter-Energy Conversion Technology can recycle most materials, a small portion of special materials has a high recycling cost, so it is cheaper to mine or synthesize them instead.
These materials with low recycling value have beco space debris.
In humans’ relentless pursuit of resources and production, space debris has beco more and more nurous and terrifying in total, just like the situation faced by humans in the 21st century on Earth, where the disposal and storage of garbage are always a big problem.
One can’t just throw the debris anywhere in the universe.
In case ships passing by collide head-on before entering curvature motion or just after leaving subspace, it would also be a problem.
Out of the necessity to protect space navigation, humans built a total of dozens of huge space garbage disposals in so blank star regions of the Orion Arm for centralized disposal.
A quantum warp Stargate is built near each garbage disposal site.
The one chosen by Harrison Clark is one of the earliest and largest space garbage disposals, coded 001.
Garbage Disposal Site 001 is disk-shaped, with a radius of 3.3 billion kiloters, composed of several million large and small planets, and billions of debris fragnts like broken rocks.Large planets were as big as Neptune, and small ones were like Venus and rcury.
As for the garbage wreckage and debris, the largest were like half a huge battleship, and the smallest were just fingertip-sized fragnts.
These “planets” were of course not real celestial bodies, but purely spherical objects ford by large-scale human garbage colliding and spontaneously attracting and converging together when thrown here.
The distance between planets ranged from tens of thousands of kiloters to millions of kiloters.
Countless planets and debris revolved around a geotric center, forming a delicate gravitational balance.
From a distance, the visual effect of the entire garbage field seed as if Saturn’s rings had been stolen.
Half a month later, Morrowind No.2 detached from the curvature motion state, revealing its form in the universe.
Harrison Clark arrived safely.
At this mont, he was frowning and paying attention to the war outside.
He was very anxious.
Though he decided to lurk, after all, he was very close to the Solar System and the Proxima Centauri System, which is to say, very close to the core of the battlefield.
The Morrowind No.2 needed to travel along stable gravitational lines in curvature navigation, which was already the Compound-Eyed Observer’s transportation network.
His situation was actually quite dangerous, as he was easily found by his own people and even more likely to be discovered by the Compound Eye Civilization.
It wouldn’t be strange if one day, flying through space, while eating hotpot and singing songs, he t an angular battleship head on the gravitational line.
Harrison Clark instructed, “Scarlett, approach the largest garbage planet in the outer layer of the fragnted planet belt in front of the garbage field, and get ready to land.”
“That’s planet 001-7-86KX9175.”
“What does that an?”
Scarlett: “This planet is mainly composed of space garbage dumped by No. 86 Science City in the seventh core star zone and is also the 9175th garbage planet larger than a thousand kiloters in diater, made by this research institute.”
Harrison Clark nodded, “That’s great.”
No. 86 Science City in the seventh star zone was characterized by its engineering research capabilities in Scarlett’s statistical information, creating and improving many engineering machinery, which was particularly suitable for Harrison Clark’s needs.
Perhaps it was Harrison Clark’s luck or the inevitability of civilization developnt.
Humans gradually moved most of the cutting-edge technology research power to the outer layer of the developnt zone away from the core area.
However, so engineering research institutions and a large amount of industrial productivity were relatively evenly distributed, slightly focusing on the core area.
In the human war scenario, the early war with the Compound-Eyed Observers would mostly occur in the core area near Proxima Centauri.
On one hand, humans deployed heavy troops there and, on the other hand, maintained strong local production capacity for tily replenishnt of nearby combat power or rapid promotion of warti new technology achievents.
Harrison Clark was currently driving Morrowind No.2, which was still based on outdated technology and materials from 500 years ago.
This Garbage Disposal Site 001 was like a holy land gospel to him, filled with treasures.
One man’s trash was another man’s treasure.
Picking up anything from the ground could enhance the ship’s performance.
As the ship gradually approached Star 9175, the data Scarlett collected beca more accurate and detailed.
“Discovering the atmosphere, atmospheric composition ratio: sulfur dioxide 33.77%, carbon dioxide 17.21%, nitrogen 15.32%, oxygen 11.65%…”
“Comprehensive assessnt: the atmosphere is highly toxic to humans and cannot be exposed without protection.”
“Discovered ultra-high radioactivity, extrely high radiation index, highly dangerous, human exposure death ti: 10.15 seconds.”
“Planetary composition analysis…”
“Higher proportion of tals, mostly ultra-composite alloys.”
“Planetary gravity ranges from 4.71 to 5.18 tis that of Earth, exhibiting uneven distribution.”
“The most recent garbage disposal was in 3019, the previous one in 3014, and the one before that in 3008.”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Good, activate the shield and land. Prepare the Galaxy Armor for and add engineering auxiliary accessories.”
If things go as expected, since the war has already begun, Orion Arm humans probably wouldn’t deliberately dump things in the garbage field anymore.
For the ti being, he could stay here safely, just focusing on improving the performance of Morrowind No.2 as quickly as possible.
Ten minutes later, as Harrison Clark walked to the Armor Room, preparing to put on his battle armor piece by piece, an unexpected event occurred.
Freddy, who never left the bedroom, ca to the door of the armor room and stared straight at Harrison Clark.
His usually emotionless gaze surprisingly had a faint hint of eagerness.
Freddy said, “Follow .”
