"If I had to make a choice again, I would have chosen to die." "Look at the starry sky, it's so empty that I don't even know what the meaning of our survival is?" On a shabby spaceship, Giotto sighed. Duma K next to him shook his head, not wanting to hear him complain here. "If you are so eager, wouldn't it be better to pay tribute to the past now?" Pay tribute to the past? How to pay tribute? Commit suicide. Giotto didn't look at him, his eyes still staring at the starry sky outside the observatory: "You don't understand." "You were still young at that time, and I have lived in the Federation for 328 years. The Federation is really good, good in all aspects."
"It's just that as a huge civilization, it is impossible not to be noticed, unless we completely stop developing and keep ourselves weak, but what's the difference between that and the lambs to be slaughtered?" "At that time, there was a moment when I wanted to stay and live and die with the Federation." "That is our civilization, it can be said to be our fertile land, and what are we now?" "I have been wandering in the starry sky, and I don't know when I will die. How many years have it been? Maybe 100,000 years." Duma K knew Giotto's idea. He wanted to settle down and find a planet to live his dream of farming. But this is impossible. A planet cannot sustain this spaceship at all. If they really stop on a planet, then they are likely to be trapped there. At least now with the help of some kinetic energy, they can still move at a speed of 400km/s. At the same time, there are some small fighters on the spaceship that allow them to collect some resources around. They are very poor. In theory, their spacecraft can exceed 30,000 km/s, but there is no way, they can't fill up these energy sources. Only after leaving the Federation did they understand how hard it is to get energy. They have the knowledge to obtain energy, and it is no problem to build some nuclear fusion devices casually, but nuclear fusion cannot provide long-term energy for this spacecraft. This spacecraft uses a stronger antimatter thruster. They need to obtain a large amount of antimatter, and it is not ordinary antimatter. They need antimatter No. n2834, which is an antimatter of super-heavy elements. It is easy to obtain with the ability of the Federation, but for a spacecraft, it is simply hellish. After calculation, they may need to develop 20,000 years to develop the technology to obtain the antimatter. The only thing they can rely on is an energy switch on the spacecraft. This switch has been modified by them into a machine that obtains antimatter by editing the corresponding heavy elements. It's just that the performance is too low, so they need to take a fighter plane to collect "antimatter" in the surrounding universe every 100 years. The atomic mass of this element is about 277 times the mass of hydrogen atoms, which is relatively rare. Not only do they need to find it, but they also need to edit its elements after bringing it back, which will make it have 2 times more neutrons and protons and 10 times more electrons while keeping its properties unchanged. In this case, the properties of the atom will be completely reversed, and the entire atom will be turned into an anti-cobalt atom. This technology is quite mature in the Federation, and it is something that can be bought with a few Federation coins. It's just that they left too quickly at the beginning, and they never thought that they would lack this thing, so they didn't bring it. At this time, they regretted it. It's like the technology of lighters in the 21st century is mature, and you can buy a lighter for one dollar or even fifty cents in some places, but at this time, you are thrown into primitive society and given a task to make a lighter that can be bought for one dollar. Even if you are given a technical route, it is estimated that it will take hundreds of years to do it. Not to mention the ignition device and the gas compression technology inside, it is quite difficult to make a layer of plastic on the outside.
And the technological threshold of the Federation will only be higher. A device has hundreds of parts and requires thousands of technologies to be combined together. So they can only stay poor like this. Farming is actually a choice. Anyway, they have almost infinite lifespan, but farming will bring new problems and internal division. Just like Giotto, he may choose to stay, while Duma K will choose to leave. If it is just like this, it is easy to deal with. You know, this spaceship looks shabby now, but it is still the first combat force among them. Will the people who stay have some thoughts? Everyone dares not gamble, so it is better to maintain the current state. Everyone is on the same ship, and there will be no other fantasies. Of course, this still cannot prevent the emergence of factions and conflicts on the spaceship, but each faction has the ability to destroy the spaceship at this time, so everyone maintains considerable restraint. Duma K and Giotto are people selected by two factions. The main engine of the spaceship consumes too much power, so it is usually turned off, and people are allowed to control the spaceship, while others enter hibernation. After all, the voyage in the starry sky is too boring, and they cannot afford to run the main engine to create a virtual world. "Only 100,000 years? I thought it was 130,000 years." "Soon we will leave the Milky Way and enter the real interstellar space." Duma K was lying on his seat, he was very interested, because he had devoted everything to the exploration of interstellar space. "Is it interesting?" "There is no point in flying all the way like this, there will always be an end." Giottofen wanted to stay in one place, but like everyone else, he would not give up this spaceship. It was too precious. It contained a lot of knowledge and had a lot of computing power, which could help them quickly build a Level 1 civilization. "But it won't be here, old man." "Enjoying your old age won't be so quick. Haven't we reached an agreement? Find a star in interstellar space and settle down." Even if these farming groups don't want to continue to develop on the isolated star system in interstellar space, their contradictions will be solved. This is a compromise, but it is necessary. At least they still have such a thing as compromise. Most of the conflicts of consciousness end up being life and death, which is the worst. "By then, we will lose the opportunity to continue to develop." "That will put us in a dead end." The starry sky that Giottofen saw at this time was already extremely empty. He could only see the light emitted by those massive stars. The stars that originally existed in the sky and belonged to the Milky Way had disappeared. At this time, a black dot appeared in front of him. He solemnly let the camera lock onto the black spot and zoom in. It was a huge, flat black warship.
