Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 692 Star Destroyer Mining

After arriving in a new star system, human beings are like beggars who have been hungry for many days. When they see rocky planets, they pounce on them and mine there. In order to improve mining efficiency, many weapons originally used for war have been used. Used it.

Yes, it is true that humans have the nano-mining robot Xiao Hui, and it is true that the minerals mined by Xiao Hui will directly turn into various metal elements, but if Xiao Hui is allowed to mine it with his own abilities, he will always have to find and Drilling a hole, especially a hole, requires digging down bit by bit, just like what happened when humans saw the planet where the Silver Mist was.

For humans who are already hungry for resources and urgently need to upgrade all civilization creations, this efficiency is really low, so after some discussion, humans decided to use Star Destroyer Cannons to mine.

Today, humanity's only Star Destroyer Cannon is installed on the Lyra.

There are two main sequence stars in this star system. One is an extremely common red dwarf star with a mass of about 0.4 times that of the sun. Such stars have a very long lifespan and can remain stable for about 200 billion years. The other is an A-type star. Its surface shows white light. Its mass is about 2.5 times that of the sun. Because of its large mass and large volume, the fuel burning rate is also fast, so it is also brighter. If compared with the sun, then Its brightness is 25 times that of the sun, but its lifespan is much shorter, only about 1.3 billion years.

Therefore, if you look at this star system from a distance in space, you will not see a binary star system, but only the brighter star. In fact, most star systems in the sky are not single stars, but more binary star systems, followed by three-star systems, then star systems with a single star, and finally there are extremely rare systems with more than four stars.

So the star system that humans have come to is the most common star system in the universe. It has two stars. The small red dwarf star has too little mass, so its trajectory looks like the planet of the larger star. The same, but through orbit calculation we can know that they are actually moving around a common center of mass in the void.

Of course, this center of mass uses the local star system as the stationary reference system. If their orbiting speed in the Milky Way is also taken into account, then this center of mass will also move.

However, no matter which reference system, humans have a way to accurately calculate their trajectory, so the activities of fleets entering the galaxy are naturally no problem.

There are a total of fourteen planets in its entire system, three of which are gaseous planets, located in the seventh, ninth, and fourteenth orbits respectively. The rest are all rocky planets, and the three gaseous planets are There are many satellites, and each of the eleven rocky planets has 1 to 3 satellites. In total, there are more than 100 satellites of different sizes, which can be said to be rich in resources.

According to the normal metal abundance in a general star system, this star system is definitely sufficient for human use. There are rocky planets where various heavy metals can be obtained, and there are gaseous planets where gaseous substances such as hydrogen, helium, sulfur, methane, and carbon dioxide can be extracted. It is simply an ideal place to obtain resources.

This double galaxy is not similar to the asteroid belt and Kuiper belt in the solar system. The space in the entire galaxy is relatively clean, and there are no comets. It is probably due to the large mass of the A-type star and the three gaseous planets in the planetary orbit. Astronomers speculate that it is the result of their gravity clearing the nearby orbit over the long years.

As soon as the human fleet entered the star system, it dispatched all engineering ships and mining ships. The cluster of residential spacecraft where the main civilization was located headed directly for the gaseous planet on the seventh orbit. The reason is that it is located in the middle orbit of the galaxy. Regardless of By then, wherever the human main spacecraft cluster follows this gaseous planet, it will be relatively close for resource transportation.

Humanity plans to place various engineering platforms outside the orbit of this planet, and then concentrate resources to start upgrading creation here.

After some exploration, humans found that most of the planets in this binary system are planets with cooled cores. The few planets close to the binary system still maintain hot cores due to the gravitational pull and heating of the stars.

After obtaining the data, humans chose the first target of violent mining of minerals on a planet in the orbit of the fifth planet.

Lyra, which is as big as an island, quickly arrived near the star, but it did not enter the planet's far/near Earth orbit. Instead, it came to about one astronomical unit outside of its space, and then put the planet there. The huge muzzle is pointed at the planet that is slowly orbiting the binary star system just like it was countless billions of years ago.

"The warp engine has been shut down, the conventional power fine-tuning is completed, the Lyra has arrived at its destination, 16832 kilometers away from the target, and the battleship's attitude adjustment is completed!"

"Target planet number: Hongbai-Planet 5. The specific parameters of the planet are as follows: mass 8.7457*10 to the 24th power KG, average density 5998 kilograms per cubic meter, diameter 15560 kilometers, revolution orbit. Autobiography orbit semi-axis length."

"All functional facilities are operating normally, and the anti-matter energy system's rated output force field acceleration guide rail has entered the pre-start state!"

"The anti-matter warhead of the Star Destroyer Cannon has been sent into the chamber, and all data of the Star Destroyer Cannon are normal."

"The Star Destroyer Cannon is ready!"

Inside the Tianqin, various departments' internal communications rang out announcements. At the same time, the Tianqin's fire control system also locked onto the target planet.

This planet is larger than the Earth. Its core has cooled down. It is a dead planet. There is no atmosphere on the surface of the planet. It is a typical rocky planet in the universe. There are two satellites in its orbit, one is a regular sphere, and the other is not a regular sphere because of its small mass.

Humans plan to blow it up with one shot, and then send mining ships and nano-mining gray replicas to collect resources from its planetary corpse fragments. Obviously, this is a very rough way of mining. It directly turns the environment on the planet into the resource mining of asteroids in space, which is very convenient for wandering civilizations.

However, it is only possible for civilizations like humans who have star destroyers to do this.

"The Tianqin propulsion system has restarted, and the anti-recoil damper value is normal. Please all crew members enter the human overclocking mode. The star destroyer gun countdown is 10, 9, 8, 7, 6"

After a while, the star destroyer gun entered the launch countdown.

The Tianqin has two driving modes. One is that 8,000 pilots access the consciousness connection system together and drive the warship from a third-person perspective. This mode is very convenient, but it is generally used in combat. In general, another driving mode is used, which is the traditional multi-person cooperative control mode.

This mode is actually not much different from the third-level civilization, that is, people in each position are responsible for their own part with the cooperation of artificial intelligence, which is why there are various voice broadcasts.

The warhead of the human star destroyer is antimatter. In the shell, the antimatter is sealed in the head of the shell as a warhead by the powerful gravitational potential well technology. From the appearance, the shell looks more like an intercontinental missile familiar to humans.
