Homo sapiens

Galaxy Year 6, April.

The earth's ice age has become more and more obvious. At this time, the global sea level has dropped by 5.3 to 5.4 meters.

The Homo sapiens company has not been affected too much and is still focusing on exploring other planets and preventing alien civilizations.

The free world has completely fallen apart, and the disintegration of America is a foregone conclusion. Currently, North America has been broken down into a total of 7 forces.

Although the European Union has readmitted the Kingdom of Britain, their losses have been very serious. For example, in the Nordic regions and the Baltic Sea coast, it is basically impossible to carry out open-air agricultural production.

Other forces also experienced varying degrees of decline under the squeeze of the Ice Age.

Especially the Kangaroo Country, which is isolated and surrounded by Homo sapiens companies. At this time, their economy has completely collapsed. Their agriculture is barely self-sufficient, but the good life of lying down and making money is gone forever.

Homo sapiens is in no hurry about Oceania.

After all, the “good days” of the free world are yet to come.

This is only the early stage of the ice age. In the next hundred years, the ice age will gradually reach its peak. By then, global sea levels will have dropped by 90 to 100 meters, ice caps and glaciers will develop crazily, and inland areas will become drier and colder.

The core business areas of Homo sapiens are all in the equatorial region. No matter how the glaciers develop, there is no way to reach the equator.

What's more, the resistance of Homo sapiens companies to the natural environment and climate is more than an order of magnitude higher than that of the free world.

Now Homo sapiens company doesn't need to be too anxious at all, time is on the company's side anyway.

The top priority of the Homo Sapiens Company is to complete the testing and experiments of the civilized fire as soon as possible.

In the distant orbit of Saturn.

A huge space station is being deployed. This space station was officially completed in July last year. It was originally intended to be a comprehensive scientific research base for Saturn.

At this time, due to the needs of the company, it was temporarily adjusted into a biotechnology research base.

Three different versions of the Civilization Fire are under intense debugging.

It is estimated that one of the civilized fires will be debugged by the middle of next month, and then the seeding experiment will be carried out.

Although the research direction of this scientific research base focuses on biotechnology that is highly related to the fire of civilization, it does not mean that there are no other research projects.

For example, the "Comet Project" is currently being tested.

I saw an irregular star with a radius of about 50 meters, slowly floating in the void about 2 million kilometers away from Saturn.

Around this star, there are also five spacecraft.

These five spacecraft use high-power fluorescent lamps and radiation generators at different distances to simulate the radiation and high-energy particles of stars, and conduct various irradiation tests on stars.

In this way, stars are undergoing various trajectory shifts.

This is the "Comet Project", whose purpose is to use various covert methods to achieve directional movement of stars.

Since we want to ensure that the fire of civilization can reach its destination safely, we must find ways to reduce the appearance of various man-made propellers.

Especially after entering the edge area of ​​the planetary system, none of the various thrusters with obvious characteristics can be used.

In the plan, the fire of civilization will be disguised as a small asteroid, wrapped in rock formations and ice shells, ensuring that it can sneak into the interior of the planetary system without warning.

Although before entering the planetary system, the auxiliary power system will definitely give the camouflaged star a relatively high moving speed to ensure that it can enter the planetary system as soon as possible.

However, once the camouflage star and the auxiliary power system are separated, it means that the camouflage star cannot obtain the power blessing on the surface.

How can an asteroid change its direction of movement without human intervention?

The answer is: the gravity of planets along the way, stellar radiation, and asteroids colliding with each other.

Among these three options, the planet's gravity can only be tricked once or twice, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of alien civilizations.

Asteroids colliding with each other will damage the camouflage stars, so it must not be used.

What can be directly utilized is stellar radiation.

The reason why stellar radiation can change the trajectory of asteroids is due to two points.

One is that different materials and different colors have different absorption and reflectivity of light, which will cause the radiation light pressure received by various locations of the star to be different.

If it is a spherical star, the impact of radiation light pressure is not obvious; if it is an irregular star, the impact of radiation light pressure will become more obvious.

Another point is related to the composition of some asteroids themselves, especially the core components of comets: water ice, dry ice, and silicate polymers. This special composition will cause the comet to eject water vapor and silicate polymers after being radiated by the star. Carbon dioxide gas flows, thereby pushing the stars to shift their trajectories.

These two natural orbit-changing mechanisms are the items tested this time.

The fire of civilization can adjust the color and light absorption rate of various parts of the comet's surface through a part of the cells densely packed in the comet, thereby controlling the direction and scale of the star's water vapor and carbon dioxide jets, as well as the radiation pressure.

Then through the jets of carbon dioxide and water vapor, as well as the radiation pressure, the trajectory of the star is changed.

Judging from the current testing situation, as long as it is a comet-type star, these three elements can be used to control the trajectory of the star and allow the star to go to a suitable planet.

This way of changing the trajectory is very subtle, because it is a normal phenomenon in the universe.

As long as the control is not too obvious, the amplitude of the changed movement trajectory cannot be too large, and the time cannot be too short, it will not attract attention.

After all, this kind of small comet is a relatively common celestial body in various planetary systems. In addition, the danger itself is not high, so it naturally does not attract too much attention.

Even a first-level civilization with a similar technological level as the Homo sapiens company would find it difficult to spot a disguised comet at close range.

As for the second-level civilization, its means are not clear to Homo sapiens, but Homo sapiens does not want to guess.

Anyway, the probability of the Homo sapiens company encountering a second-level civilization at this stage is too small.

during a series of radiation exposure tests.

The artificial comet used for experimental testing performed well.

Time passes day by day.

The Saturn Scientific Research Space Station is testing various properties of artificial comets while studying carriers of the fire of civilization.

Before we knew it, it was mid-May.

At this time, the test version of the first civilized fire was finally produced by scientific researchers.

After completing the development of the first civilized fire test version, the scientific research base immediately planted the civilized fire into an artificial comet, and then directly launched the artificial comet.

The man-made comet, which is flying rapidly, adjusts the color and light absorption rate of each part by itself, and then tilts its direction towards one of Saturn's large rocky moons.

Finally after a week.

The man-made comet was successfully pulled down by the satellite's gravity and landed on the satellite's surface.

As the man-made comet crashes onto the earth's surface, it means that the seeding has been successful, and the next step is for the fire of civilization to take root.

In order to observe the process of this civilization's fire taking root and sprouting, the Saturn satellite has been surrounded by a large number of artificial satellites, and it is completely surrounded.

The fire of civilization in the impact crater finally confirmed the safety of the surroundings and began to activate various working cells and prepare to sprout.
