Chapter 298 The Starry Sky Does Not Ask the Travelers

The starry sky does not ask the passerby.

The stars in the starry sky did not ask who passed by them. They just watched the human fleet come silently, then dug some minerals, and then left.

Yue Yuan had woken up from hibernation for a month. He was now at the porthole of the Tianqin, looking at the starry sky outside.

The starry sky was brilliant.

The starry sky in the universe from a spaceship is far less beautiful than that from the earth.

If the starry sky was viewed from a spaceship, the ancients probably could not recite poems such as "The candlelight on the mica screen is deep, the long river gradually falls and the morning star sinks", "The stars splash on the cloud bank, the dew drops and the bath liquid trickles, and the precious orchids are cut".

Looking out from the porthole of the spaceship, the starry sky appears brighter, but without the refraction of the atmosphere and water vapor, these stars will not blink. Against the deep dark background, they look like fascinating lights in the underworld.

The deep starry sky, the dark background, seems to be close at hand but out of reach. Staring for a long time, you will feel the fear of deep space and the stars sinking into the abyss.

The huge contrast between the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of oneself will overwhelm your mind at this moment. Eternity and the brevity of time will occupy your entire life at this moment. Emptiness and loneliness will take advantage of this moment, making you feel that all efforts are meaningless.

Morning fungi do not know the new moon and full moon, and cicadas do not know spring and autumn. Plankton is born in the morning and dies in the evening, and summer cicadas do not know spring and autumn. I mourn the brevity of my life and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River.

All kinds of negative emotions about the extreme, the extreme, the short, the eternal, and life and death will erupt at this moment.

It is deep space claustrophobia, a test from the self, the subconscious and the cognition of the universe, a great terror, and also a self-breakthrough of thought.

Now Yue Yuan is no longer affected by deep space claustrophobia, but after reading a lot of human research on thinking, self, subconsciousness, etc., he now recalls the disturbance in his thoughts when he first gazed at the starry sky.

"It seems that it is right not to go to the star-dense star field. In another ten years, we will reach the destination of this voyage." Looking at the slowly moving stars in front of him, Yue Yuan's thoughts were no longer on them.

According to observation results, humans have long known that the destination of this time is a yellow dwarf star. Astronomers believe that there is a high probability that there are rich rocky planetary resources there.

Yellow dwarf star.

What a familiar name, if nothing else, the sun is a yellow dwarf star.

Stellar evolution theory, since it is a theory, it has a certain cosmic universality, otherwise it cannot become a theory. Therefore, astronomers have enough reason to believe that the yellow dwarf galaxy is rich in resources.

In fact, at this moment, when humans have not really arrived in the yellow dwarf star system, astronomers have obtained some information about the yellow dwarf star from spectral analysis. During the voyage, they also used several extraterrestrial planet detection methods to detect that there are indeed planets, and there are more than one.

If there is no accident, this time humans will stop and develop in the target star system, at least before reaching the third-level civilization, they will not leave.

Because humans were born in the environment of yellow dwarf star systems, they have a deep understanding of yellow dwarf stars. Therefore, for safety reasons, when the fleet was still halfway, several groups of unmanned probes had already gone ahead to explore the target star system.

It is customary for unmanned exploration spacecraft to explore first, but this time, humans have added a lot of exploration power. In fact, more than that, while sending probes to the target star system, humans also sent some disposable probes to the nearest star system around the navigation.

Do it as safe as possible.

A wandering civilization, all its belongings are in the entire fleet. If it is not safe, it will be doomed.

It is always right to be cautious. Because of caution, the probes were placed far away by humans. Now the fleet is about three light years away from the destination, but the probes are already more than one light year away from the front of the fleet.

If the probe finds something, it will receive the message in less than a year and respond.

The reaction distance of 1 light year is not short, enough for humans to hold N meetings to discuss various problems encountered.

Because communication is limited by the speed of light, the speed of low-level civilizations is also very slow, so the various problems encountered in starry sky navigation will not actually cause much tension.

The situation in novels where a single shot instantly destroys the enemy does not exist, at least not at the level of low-level civilizations. And racing against time and missing a second of reaction time will put the entire fleet at risk of destruction, and it will not appear in large-scale interstellar navigation. This thing will only appear when the two sides are really fighting.

It is also because of the huge distance scale of the starry sky, the limitations of light-speed communication and sub-light-speed navigation, if two civilizations of the same level meet, they will most likely detect each other first.

If the two sides fight, and then one side wants to run to catch up with the other, this kind of chase between the same level is likely to last for thousands of years, of course, the gap in technological level is another matter.

So in this state of the fleet, including Yue Yuan, the senior leaders are still quite comfortable. Apart from some daily things, there is basically nothing that can make them anxious.

It is because of this that Yue Yuan has time to run to the porthole to look at the starry sky.

As Yue Yuan was leisurely admiring the starry sky, he saw a graceful figure floating towards him from the corner of his eye.

"Master Yue."

The voice came before the person arrived.

The voice of a queen, very familiar.

Yue Yuan knew who the newcomer was without even looking at him.

After waiting for a while, when the newcomer floated to his side and turned on his magnetic boots to stabilize his body, Yue Yuan turned his head and looked: "Deputy Man, how come you have time to come here? Is there something wrong with the detector?"

The newcomer was Man Yuemei. Because it would not take long to reach the destination, the human military and political leaders were gradually waking up from hibernation.

For so long, Man Yuemei was not only the Minister of Armaments, but also the Deputy Minister of the Command Headquarters, so Yue Yuan called her Deputy Man.

The Deputy Minister of the Command Headquarters was different from the Minister of Armaments. The Minister of Armaments was elected every 500 years, while the Deputy Minister of the Command Headquarters was appointed by Yue Yuan himself, but it was not a lifetime appointment, but a one-term appointment, and could be re-elected for a maximum of two terms.

There were two deputy ministers, and Man Yuemei was one of them.

"Everything is normal. I just woke up not long ago. I was just strolling around. I happened to see you here, so I came here." Man Yuemei seemed to have just woken up from hibernation and had a normal sleep. So while she was talking, she straightened her waist and yawned.

"Oh, I'm fine. Since you've woken up, you can go back to the Second Fleet in a while. We're almost at our destination. There are many things in the fleet that need your arrangement." Yue Yuan looked at Man Yuemei's profile, and then turned his head to look at the starry sky outside the porthole.

"It's not a big problem, but I just woke up. Let me adapt for a few days and move my body first." Man Yuemei straightened her chest and twisted her waist again, raised her hands to stretch her muscles and bones, and at the same time gave a reason that made Yue Yuan speechless.

What do you mean you need to move for a few days just after waking up? With the current physical fitness of humans, it takes only a few hours of adaptation to wake up from hibernation to fully recover.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuan glanced at Man Yuemei who was stretching next to him, trying to see what she was thinking.
