"Let's go." Wei Feng smiled reluctantly, got up and left the venue with Chu Hai.

Sure enough, as Chu Hai predicted, three hours after Wei Feng returned to the employee dormitory, a training notice was sent to Wei Feng's portable computer. Chu Hai also received the notice at the same time. So Wei Feng and Chu Hai and dozens of other candidates took a fast delivery spacecraft in the solar system provided by the government. It took a month to arrive at the deep space exploration training base above Pluto.

With the continuous development of technology, humans have now brought their footprints to every corner of the solar system. Not only Pluto, but also the more distant Kuiper Belt objects, such as Eris, Seedna, etc., have also established scientific research bases of varying sizes, and people have been stationed there for scientific research. As the larger overseas celestial body closest to the inner solar system, there is naturally a scientific research base on Pluto, and the scale is very large, with at least 5,000 people stationed here.

In fact, in today's human civilization, Pluto has become a supply station for voyages from the inner solar system to the overseas celestial path. It has a very important strategic position. Spacecraft exploring the Kuiper Belt and farther places usually make the last supply here at Pluto, and only after replenishing enough food, water and fuel, they will embark on the journey.

Because of the existence of a fast transportation network in the solar system, the transportation between major planets and major bases is very convenient. Driven by repeated technological explosions, the fastest speed of spacecraft built by human civilization has reached an astonishing 2,000 kilometers per second. At such a high speed, it only takes one month to get from Earth to Pluto. For people today, traveling to Neptune or Pluto is probably the same as traveling abroad in the national era.

Wei Feng and Chu Hai came to the Pluto base like this. Wei Feng knew that it would take at least twenty years to build a large spacecraft used to implement the island plan - this did not include the spacecraft's design and feasibility verification processes, because these processes were completed in more than twenty years before. If these preliminary preparations were included, the construction cycle of the spacecraft would be at least thirty years.

This spacecraft will take twenty years to build, which means that the training camp he is doing on Pluto will last for almost twenty years.

It seems to be an incredible thing for people today to build a spacecraft in twenty years. Thanks to its huge industrial foundation, the construction of spacecraft has long entered the era of mass production of assembly lines. People have become accustomed to submitting orders one month in advance, and after one month the spacecraft will be delivered to their own hands. It takes twenty years to build a spacecraft... What kind of spacecraft takes so long?

Wei Feng knew very well about the answer to this question. Because this spacecraft is not an ordinary spacecraft, it is essentially different from all the spacecraft in today's human civilization. Because those spacecraft are only conducting interplanetary navigation within the solar system, and this spacecraft...it is an interstellar spacecraft.

The fastest spacecraft created by human civilization today can reach a speed of 2,000 kilometers per second, while the design maximum speed of this unbuilt epoch-making spacecraft is 3,000 kilometers per second.

The parts equipped on it and spare parts combined must be more than a thousand years of reliable working time. The fuel stored on it can allow the spacecraft to operate continuously for 1,200 years with a total power of 70% and the antennas on it must be extremely sensitive and sensitive enough to detect radio signals sent from four light years away. Its hull and modules must be reliable and tough enough, because only in this way can the spacecraft survive in various extreme environments.

It must carry as many tools as possible, because its destination of voyage has no way to receive support from human civilization. If you encounter any accidents there, you have to solve them by yourself. Its artificial intelligence system must be extremely reliable, because during the voyage, astronauts are sleeping most of the time, and everything on the spacecraft depends on artificial intelligence system to operate, and it takes hundreds of years to operate.

It is such a great spacecraft that crosses the ages. Even with the technological strength of today's human civilization, it will take twenty years to build it, and more than 10 million engineers must participate. In order to build it, the human government must invest huge wealth that accounts for 1.5% of the annual economic output in the next time.

Today, the total population of human civilization has exceeded 200 billion, which means that the total wealth created by the hard work of these more than 200 billion people in one year is only enough to build 66 such spacecraft.

If there is no accident, after twenty years of training, astronaut Wei Feng will sail from the solar system to the South Gate two galaxy in person to personally verify the feasibility of interstellar navigation.

The South Gate Two Galaxy is a triad galaxy, in which the larger a star and b stars form a binary star system, and the smaller c star, which is commonly known as Proxima orbits around a star and b stars in a farther orbit. It has been determined that there is a terrestrial planet among the two and three stars of the South Gate Two and Three, and its size is about the same as Mars. The goal of the first interstellar navigation in the history of human civilization is this planet named "Blue Night Star".

The debate within human civilization on whether to build this spacecraft lasted for more than ten years. It was not until now that the conference was approved and the official name of the "Isolated Island" plan was obtained. Because in this vast galaxy universe, the solar system that allowed human civilization to reproduce and survive to this day was like an isolated island in the sea.

Many people are wondering whether this mission is necessary. Even at a high speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, it will take more than 430 years to sail from the solar system to the South Gate II Galaxy. Even if everything goes well, the total time it takes for the spacecraft to set off from the solar system to reach the South Gate II Galaxy, and then return from the South Gate II Galaxy to the solar system to reach the solar system will reach about nine hundred years. Now the average life span of humans is only two hundred years. (To be continued)
