Since breaking out of the solar system in 2351, human civilization has officially entered the Orion Arm era under an unspeakable sense of urgency.

The Saviors, who came to the fore, formed a new Orion Arm United Government.

On January 1, 2500, the solar system was enveloped by a dome, and the mother planet began to enter the countdown to extinction.

In the same year, the miracle of twenty years began. Although the stars awakened in the solar system, the people who stayed in the solar system compiled their core structure into photoelectric signals and transmitted them.

In 2515, the Orion Arm humans rebuilt another star outside the solar system - a larger, more powerful, and more powerful super quantum intelligence.

With the help of the stars, the colonies quickly completed the system integration, formed the interstellar Great Britain Consortium government, and named the civilizational integration with a territory of more than 100 light years at that time as the Morningwind Empire.

This is a Great Britain Consortium system called the Empire, which seems very strange and bizarre.

The new interstellar era has put forward new requirements for the civilization system.

Even within the salvation movement, which has a very unified ideology and a very clear common goal, there are differences.

Some people think that since the war is imminent, they should enter the military state in advance and adopt a military dictatorship.

But some people think that if the military dictatorship lasts for 500 years, it will suppress and stifle human creativity to a great extent, so they advocate a referendum republic that can inspire the fighting spirit of civilians as much as possible.

But some people think that the progress of civilization requires great leaders, and most people should be more determined to move forward around the path guided by a small number of excellent leaders, so a federal parliamentary system should be implemented.

Others believe that the parliamentary system that requires referendums on everything is too inefficient, affecting social productivity, and is not conducive to the need for rapid decision-making in wartime, so one or several well-deserved and absolutely correct leaders should be promoted to implement a modern imperial system that is different from the ancient imperial system.

However, humans really cannot choose an impeccable and perfect leader, and no one claims to be able to take on this burden, so in the end, this strange Great Britain Consortium Empire was formed.

In the absence of an absolute leader, the federal parliament is the main one.

The reason why it was named the Morning Wind Empire is that almost all the members of the Savior Society followed the instructions of historical records and waited for the sage Chen Feng to come after a thousand years to lead humanity forward.

The late Chen Feng has been guiding the direction of civilization invisibly and played an important role in promoting unity and eliminating differences.

This ideology caused the end of the world in the solar system, but in the Orion Arm civilization outside, it became the core driving force for uniting humanity and moving forward together.

The Orion Arm civilization has formed a super-era system that takes the continuous and rapid improvement of productivity as its first priority; the acceleration of reproduction and growth of the total population as its first strategy; the promotion of academic fairness, the acceleration of academic exchanges, the improvement of the level of comprehensive education, and the formation of a boundless academic atmosphere within the Orion Arm as its core idea; and the ultimate goal of the system operation is to find a perfect balance between productivity, scientific and technological innovation, and the development of military strength .

These four basic elements are the eternal theme of the development of the Orion Arm civilization for more than 600 years.

In short, under the guidance of this civilized system that is both inharmonious and reasonable, the development process of mankind seems to have been fast-forwarded.

Human productivity has exploded, everything pursues efficiency, and cares more about oneself than the overall harmony of the universe.

At the same time, due to the continuous improvement of mass-energy conversion technology, humans have consumed a large amount of stellar energy to produce astronomical quantities of metals, semiconductors, low-atomic-weight isotopes, and other substances.

The performance of the fifth-generation Dyson membrane far exceeds any generation of Dyson membranes that Chen Feng has seen in the past. The absorption efficiency of stellar radiation energy can reach up to 90%, and the upper limit of the total amount absorbed is extremely high.

The performance improvement of the fourth and fifth-generation Dyson membranes does not care about efficiency, but the upper limit of the total amount of energy absorption and conversion. At present, the highest can reach a hundred times the upper limit of the third-generation Dyson membrane to absorb solar energy.

It is said that the absorption limit of the sixth-generation Dyson membrane under development can reach a thousand times that of the third generation.

At present, humans have built more than 100,000 fifth-generation Dyson membranes, most of which are located in uninhabited pure industrial production planetary systems.

In a prosperous planetary system with a large population, the Dyson membrane only turns on its normal performance, and the absorption rate is even suppressed to 60%.

However, in an industrial planetary system, the absorption rate of the Dyson membrane is raised to 90%, and there are special unmanned ships called star diggers orbiting near the stars, continuously launching physical toxins at the stars to increase the reaction intensity inside the stars, greatly speeding up the release of radiation energy to the outside, so that the Dyson membrane wrapped around these stars can produce more usable energy. Taking

the intensity and frequency of flare explosions on the surface of stars as a reference value, the comprehensive index of stellar explosions with artificially increased reaction intensity is at least tens to hundreds of times that of the sun.

This means that the lifespan of these stars has been artificially shortened by tens or hundreds of times by humans. They will go through adulthood, middle age, and then decline faster, and eventually turn into white dwarfs, neutron stars, or physical black holes.

Assuming that human civilization still has tens of millions of years to develop, it is really possible to burn out all the stars in the Orion Arm in advance, and then move the tribe to the next galactic arm until the entire galaxy is exhausted.

By then, the galaxy will probably be sucked dry by human civilization until it becomes a dead star cemetery.

Chen Feng always compares humans to the cancer of the universe, and now it seems that this blame is not unjust.

If stars also have intelligence, they will definitely curse.

Although advanced mass-energy conversion technology can recycle most materials, there will always be a small number of special materials whose recycling costs are too high, so it is better to dig them up or synthesize them.

These materials with low recycling value become space junk.

As humans spare no effort to grab resources and produce, space junk is increasing, and the total amount is terrifying. Just like the situation faced by humans in the interior of the earth in the 21st century, the treatment and stacking of garbage is always a big problem.

You can't just throw garbage into the universe.

It would be a problem if a ship on the way collides head-on before entering curvature motion or just leaving subspace.

In order to protect the space route, humans have built dozens of huge space garbage dumps in some blank star areas within the Orion Arm for centralized disposal.

There is a quantum leap stargate near each garbage dump.

The one chosen by Chen Feng is one of the earliest and largest space garbage dumps, numbered 001.

The 001 garbage dump is in the shape of a disk with a radius of 3.3 billion kilometers. It is composed of millions of planets, large and small, and tens of billions of garbage debris that look like broken rocks.

The large planets are comparable to Neptune, and the small ones are like Venus and Mercury.

As for the garbage debris, the large ones are as big as half a giant ship, and the small ones are only a finger's worth of debris.

These "planets" are of course not real planets. They are simply spheres formed by the collision and spontaneous attraction of large garbage thrown here by humans.

The distance between planets ranges from tens of thousands of kilometers to hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers.

Countless planets and debris revolve around a geometric center together, forming a delicate gravitational balance.

From a distance, the visual effect of the entire garbage dump seems to have been stolen from Saturn's rings.

Half a month later, Morning Breeze II broke away from the curvature motion state and revealed its shape in the universe.

Chen Feng successfully arrived safely.

At this time, he was frowning and paying attention to the war outside.

He was very anxious.

Although he decided to lie in ambush, he was very close to the solar system and the neighboring galaxies after all. Strictly speaking, he was in the core area of ​​the battlefield.

Morning Breeze II needs to move along the stable gravity line to carry out curvature navigation. This is the transportation network of the compound eyes.

His situation is actually very dangerous. It is easy for him to be found by his own people, and even easier to be discovered by the compound eyes civilization.

If one day he is flying, eating hot pot and singing, and runs into a prismatic battleship head-on on the gravity line, it will not be surprising.

Chen Feng ordered: "Weixing, approach the largest garbage planet in the outermost layer of the broken planet belt in the garbage dump ahead and prepare to land."

"That is Planet 001-7-86KX9175."

"What does that mean?"

Weixing: "This planet is mainly composed of space garbage dropped by the 86th Science City in the seventh core star zone. It is also the 9175th garbage planet with a diameter greater than one thousand kilometers created by this research institute."

Chen Feng nodded, "Very good."

According to Weixing's statistics, the 86th Science City in the seventh star zone is a unit that excels in engineering research capabilities. It has created and improved many engineering machinery, which is particularly in line with Chen Feng's needs.

Maybe it's Chen Feng's good luck, or maybe it's the inevitability of civilization development.

Human beings have gradually transferred most of the research power of cutting-edge technology to the outer layer of the development zone far away from the core area.

However, some engineering research institutions and a large number of industrial productivity are relatively evenly distributed, with a slight focus on the core area.

In the human war expectation, the early war with the compound eyes will mostly take place in the core area near the neighboring star.

On the one hand, humans deploy heavy troops here, and on the other hand, they maintain super production capacity on the spot, so as to replenish combat power in time or quickly promote the transformation of new wartime technology.

Chen Feng is now driving the Morning Breeze II, which is based on outdated technology and materials from five hundred years ago.

This garbage dump No. 001 is simply the gospel of his holy land, with treasures everywhere.

Their garbage is my mulberry.

Picking up anything on the ground can improve the performance of the ship.

As the ship gradually approaches Planet 9175, the data collected by Weixing is becoming more and more accurate and detailed.

"The atmosphere was discovered. The composition of the atmosphere is 33.77% sulfur dioxide, 17.21% carbon dioxide, 15.32% nitrogen, and 11.65% oxygen..." "

Comprehensive assessment shows that the atmosphere is highly toxic to humans and cannot be exposed without protection."

"Ultra-high radioactive reactions were discovered. The radiation index is extremely high and dangerous. The death time for human exposure is 10.15 seconds."

"Analysis of the planet's composition..."

"The proportion of metals is relatively high, and most of them are super-composite alloys."

"The planet's gravity is 4.71 to 5.18 times that of the Earth, and is unevenly distributed."

"The last garbage dump was in 3019, the last one in 3014, and the one before that in 3008."

Chen Feng nodded, "Okay, turn on the shield and land. Prepare the galaxy armor for me and pretend engineering auxiliary accessories."

If it goes as expected, now that the war has begun, the Orion Arm humans probably won't deliberately come to the garbage dump to throw things.

I can stay here for the time being, just to improve the performance of Morning Breeze II as soon as possible.

Ten minutes later, Chen Feng walked to the armor room and was about to put on the armor piece by piece, when something unexpected happened.

Fredes, who never left the bedroom, came to the door of the armor room and looked straight at Chen Feng.

His eyes, which never showed any emotion, showed a hint of eagerness.

Fredes said, "Follow me."
