For the past three years, The Hope has been making curvature voyages. Due to technical problems, it was unable to detect the situation outside.
Three years ago, when they set off again, they had observed the distance and situation of Planet B and found nothing unusual.
But at this time, just after coming out of the space of curvature navigation, Chase in the captain’s room felt an inexplicable crisis.
He hurriedly looked at the detection screen, and immediately found that outside the atmosphere of Planet B, several nuclear warhead-like weapons were flying towards The Hope at high speed.
At the same time, the military also detected these weapons, and Phil immediately contacted Chase.
“There is an alien civilization on Planet B. They have already launched the offensive to us. According to preliminary analysis, they have launched super hydrogen bombs. One of which is more than 10 million tons. If being hit, it can easily destroy The Hope, and we still have five minutes to come up with a solution.” Phil said.
“Intercept them and ready for war. Start the highest alert!” Chase said without hesitation.
“Okay,” Phil said and hung up.
Chase called Dasin to let them speed up the observation and analysis of Planet B.
At the same time, let Reba notify the senior managers to hold an emergency meeting.
Meanwhile, in the military command room, Phil had already issued the highest alert preparation, and the Frigate 001 also fired intercept missiles in time.
More than a dozen nuclear super hydrogen bombs were detonated in a vacuum by the intercept missiles. There was no exaggerated mushroom cloud, but just some light appeared.
The brightness of these light sources was still quite dazzling from The Hope even if it was thousands of kilometers away.
Chase also saw a dozen hydrogen bombs detonated on the screen in the captain’s room.
He quickly turned on the holographic screen and then used the central computer’s computing power to calculate various data after the explosion.
A minute later, he concluded that their level of making hydrogen bombs was about the same before humans left the earth.
In other words, the technology of human beings in the direction of weapons was at least eight to ten years ahead of the technology of alien civilization on Planet B.
Of course, this was calculated according to normal development.
Since acquiring LaKu’s technology at the edge of the solar system eight years ago, human technology has developed rapidly and has steadily entered the stage of secondary cosmic civilization.
But Chase was sure that the technological civilization on Planet B was at most the late stage of the first-level cosmic culture and even might not reach the late stage.
In this way, the current technology of The Hope was enough to crush Planet B.
With this, Chase was relieved.
However, the Academy of Sciences would provide specific data after the Academy of Sciences after analyzing more data.
At this time, all the senior officials did not know what had happened in the meeting room.
Emergency meeting like this was the one that worried everyone the most about whether there was another serious problem.
For this meeting, the military only sent second-in-command Guang over.
Phil was in the mobilization meeting, preparing to start a war with Planet B.
“Everyone, we have successfully reached the orbit of Planet B.
However, beyond our expectation, there was an alien civilization on Planet B.
It should be half an hour ago that they had fired 14 million-ton hydrogen bombs at us. It was a challenge and a deterrent to our humanity.
So, next, we should fight with them.
Or, leave ignominiously! ”
Chase said and looked at everyone.
During the past three years, they have been curvature voyage. Everyone focused on the development of science, technology, and the private economy, so they have not been meeting several meetings.
“There are aliens on Planet B? Do we know what their level of technology is?” Wade Xie looked at Chase and was shocked.
The number of humans aboard The Hope has exceeded 170, 000, and his life as the leader of the new government was quite well.
But human beings were still creatures that needed to live on the ground. With a long time staying on The Hope, countless people held a breath in their hearts, and there was always a feeling of depression.
In the past few years, there have been some complaints from the people. If they abandoned Planet B this time, where would they go?
When would it be possible to find another habitable planet?
“The specific data need to wait for the news from the Academy of Sciences, but according to their hydrogen bomb research and development level, it is far behind ours. However, if we fight with them, it will be more than 100, 000 people to fight against a planet.” Chase said.
Everyone was silent.
How could 170, 000 humans to against a planet?
No one dared to imagine how this would end.
“Why don’t we go to find another habitable planet? Anyway, we can already sail faster than light.” A senior said.
“The closest rocky planet to us was most likely to be a habitable planet, and it was called Kapteyn b. It was about ten light-years away from us. Even if we make curvature voyages, it will take at least eight years to reach this planet, and it is still unknown whether it is a habitable planet.
So are we going to find the next habitable planet then? ”
Chase looked at them and turned on the holographic screen, and then, a web page appeared on the screen. He clicked in, and a line appeared on it: Information on Top Ten Livable Planets.
He clicked the screen, and suddenly a rocky planet appeared.
“This planet is called HD 85512b, which is 3. 6 times larger than the earth, is 35 light-years away from the earth. HD85512b is located in Vela and orbits the Orange Dwarf. We only know that there may be water on it, whether there is life or atmosphere…”
Chase went on to introduce several other planets that might be habitable, but apart from the one that was ten light-years away from them, the second one was 17 light-years away, the third was 35 light-years away there were several planets even more than 2, 000 light-years away from them.
Therefore, Chase has already made it clear. If they gave up Planet B, then they might never find another habitable planet to live.
If human beings could master techniques such as wormholes, transitions, or interstellar gates, which could ignore the distance in a short period, they could leave.
But it was no exaggeration to say that those technologies were still an illusion at present, and there was no theory. Without hundreds of thousands of years of development, it couldn’t come true.
“I’m 90% sure that Planet B’s technological level is behind us. If we go to war with them, I am 60% sure to defeat them.
So now, everyone votes whether to fight or to go. The minority is subordinate to the majority.”
Although Chase was the captain, he had the final decision.
But he still wanted to see everyone’s opinions.
