Chapter 385: Daring Advance and the Drum of War
"Ois, what are you looking at?"
In the room, Harry was planning to make the next step of power planning with Oyce, but found that Oyce's attention seemed to be elsewhere.
"Sir, today is the day the Hyacinth sets sail," Oyce replied.
Harry was stunned for a moment, Hyacinth?
Seeing Harry's confusion, Oyce pulled up the news about the scientific research ship.
It is said to be a scientific research ship, but its size is much larger than the standard model of the Osborne Group. It is a modified ship.
Because of the need to control the Rhine River to build a wormhole leading to Nidave, Harry reached an agreement with the European Union. The Osborne Group allocated three spaceships to them in advance. One of them, the Hyacinth, will set sail today. .
This spacecraft was modified from the first batch of old-model scientific research ships that were eliminated by the Osborne Group. It is a small and sophisticated type. Its functions are more complete than the current scientific research ships that have been detailed and specialized, and it is indeed slightly larger in size. .
In order to carry as many people as possible, the European Space Agency specially equipped the spacecraft with a large cabin and corresponding life support systems.
The standard scientific research ship is designed to carry a scientific research team. It is approved to be fully loaded with 20 people. It does not use the traditional personal room design. The place where everyone rests is the latest frame world access warehouse.
Lying in the capsule, they can communicate with their family and friends on other planets almost indistinguishable from reality, and they can also get better sleep. They also save space on the spacecraft, which can be used as small gardens, Public facilities areas such as gyms and restaurants.
If there are enough of them, they can even play six-a-side football on the spaceship. There is no shortage of lifestyles.
But not so with the Hyacinth... This is a completely modified scientific research ship based on a colonial ship, with a capacity of an astonishing 5000 people. The virtual warehouses are all cheap goods imported from Osborne, arranged in rows like coffins. put.
"...What kind of genius design is this? Let them have a place to stay, right?" Harry was speechless.
Due to the dense arrangement, the people on the ship could only lie on a transport board and be "stuffed" into the cabin by the drone.
"I think their leadership is taking the goal of...finding the colony too seriously, and it seems like these people are just fuel in their eyes."
Harry also became interested in this spaceship and called out the person in charge of the relevant projects, only to find that the person was still an acquaintance: Ajak of the Eternals, the woman who hoped to quickly launch colonial activities.
This woman went to work for the European Space Agency after NASA's claims were refuted by Peter. Her rich resume at NASA would indeed make it easy for her to "condescend" to join the European Space Agency, where she would be responsible for related projects.
Logically speaking, the order of colonization should be to use astronomical telescopes to screen galaxies that may have habitable planets, then explore hyperspace lanes, find the nearest jumping point and jumping method, and then conduct on-site inspections.
The colonial ship can only be prepared after the inspection is completed, instead of going all-out and magically modifying the scientific research ship, allowing 5000 people to risk nothing and ignore the scientific process.
Even if they do find a habitable planet, the situation of each habitable planet is different. Without adequate preparation, colonization can easily turn into death.
"Maybe not... maybe these people are all 'heroes' in her opinion." Harry found a piece of news.
It's true that he doesn't care too much about the earth. This news is a hot topic recently.
"5000 heroes, heading to the new world with God's blessing."
Harry found it a bit funny - these Eternals keep saying they want to help humans, but what they actually do is secretly encourage people to behave irrationally?
It's better to simply say no and leave it alone.
Not only must he complete the mission of his immediate superiors, the Celestial Team, but he also wants a group of people to sacrifice themselves for the sake of mankind.
Typical American thinking.
However, the earth's population has exceeded 70 billion for some time, and the day when God appears is getting closer and closer.
The time when the gods appear in the movie is 2024. The specific population should be around 80 billion. According to the current population growth rate, this time should be much earlier.
Fortunately, although Thanos can no longer snap his fingers, Harry has been transporting people to Kepler 22b, and now there are millions of people there.
Extraterrestrial colonization will indeed cause the gods in the center of the earth to lose their life energy supply and delay their appearance.
"Sir, there is another acquaintance here who participated in this plan, remember Mark Watney?" Oyce said.
Of course Harry remembered this guy, who was supposed to be growing potatoes on Mars.
After the Mars mission, as usual, he could choose to stay at NASA and be responsible for training the next generation of aerospace talents, but somehow he was invited by the European Space Agency to develop space.
And he actually signed up again... maybe it was because he had never experienced hardship.
"... Stupid woman, the colonization plan was originally within our development plan, this is rash." Harry shook his head.
The company now knows of quite a few colonizable planets.
First of all, after Mars was transformed, a city was successfully built. If the earth's habitability is 100%, Mars now has at least 60% habitability.
Followed by Kepler 22b, the habitability is also between 70-80%. It only needs to dismantle some rocky asteroids from outer space. The vast ocean area is not a difficulty that hinders colonization at all.
Next is Bohit, which is a jungle planet, a remote planet discovered while tracking Star-Lord. Except for too much rainfall, other indicators are almost the same as those on Earth.
The only problem is that it is too remote, but when the next step of deployment is completed, this problem will not be a problem.
"Okay, let's set our sights on the star map. I heard that the sweepers brought me new news."
"Yeah, it looks like Thanos has changed his strategy."
The communication screen opened, and Yondu brought him new news.
"Hello, big boss, we have indeed captured Thanos' fleet, and I can see that you have cornered him.
Thanos returned to the star realm he conquered and restarted the space factories there - to be honest, I have never seen so many war factories started at the same time..."
The unusual movement began on Titan, a planet that had been destroyed.
Titan is the hometown of the Titans. The Titans were originally the Eternals, but they no longer performed the missions of the Celestials and turned to the path of normal civilization, so they separated from it.
However, Titan was destroyed due to the "population problem", and it was during this process that Thanos strengthened his idea - although Harry felt that this did not make sense at all.
Especially now, the huge war dock in the Titan galaxy shows that this race has strong space strength, and there are also scattered cosmic outposts in several nearby galaxies.
Thanos has recovered the legacy of the Titans, production facilities have begun to restart, those ancient factories are roaring again, abandoned cosmic outposts have begun to operate again, and his fleet is being reborn.
The dilapidated dockyard has once again been repaired and adjusted, the once dormant biological facilities are back online, and Thanos' army is being reborn.
The entire universe took notice of the Mad Titan's actions, and they all knew something was coming.
A war sweeping across the galaxy is about to begin, and the drum of war has been beaten by Thanos.
