Chapter 691: Giant Project with a Radius of Two Light Years

While Chen Fan was slowly advancing the plot of "Infinite Horror", the United Government had basically completed the preliminary preparations for exploring the "Three-Body" universe.

"Xu Gong, the construction period will be over soon."

"Yes."

In the bar, two men wearing engineer badges looked at each other with sad faces.

"Why do you look unhappy?"

"What do you think?"

The two men sighed together, and one of them slowly said: "After the Pioneer Project is completed, we will all retire."

They have all reached the statutory retirement age of the United Government.

The profession of engineer has low requirements for creativity, and can be mass-produced through brain-computer technology, and with the assistance of MOSS, the United Government does not have much demand for senior engineers.

"Stand your last shift."

The other man showed an optimistic expression, and he smiled and said: "Let the Pioneer take our place to see the scenery of the Three-Body Universe."

In order to deeply explore the "Three-Body" universe, the United Government launched a giant construction project called Pioneer, and summoned a total of 450,000 experienced engineers to participate.

Pioneer is a spherical super mothership with a radius of two light years.

It takes two years for light to reach the edge of the Pioneer from the center of the Pioneer.

This is almost the same as the radius of the solar system.

From the perspective of the gravitational field, if the solar system boundary is taken as the influence range of the sun's gravitational field beyond the dominant surrounding stars, the radius of the solar system is about 2 light years.

In terms of volume, the Pioneer is comparable to the entire solar system, and in terms of mass, the Pioneer is 362 times that of the sun.

The Pioneer is an indisputable behemoth.

The United Government has always maintained an incredible speed of scientific progress. In order to avoid being outdated as soon as it was built, it has never built a single spacecraft of this scale.

But after touching the truth of the universe, the scientific development of the United Government almost stagnated, and at the same time faced the difficult task of exploring the universe of "Three Body".

So a peak technological creation that integrates countless advanced technologies has a meaning of existence.

This is the Pioneer.

In theory, it takes a long time to build a giant with a radius of two light years, but using time technology, the United Government constantly throws the Pioneer under construction into the distant past, "stealing" time from the long river of time.

In the end, it only took a few months from the project initiation to the completion.

The Pioneer is almost completed and the ribbon-cutting ceremony is coming.

The entire Pioneer has a total of twelve large living areas, each of which has an ecological environment similar to that of the Earth, can accommodate more than 30 billion humans, and provide ample living space for everyone.

These living areas will be put into use after the exploration project of the "Three-Body" universe is completed, providing a place for the skyrocketing population on Earth.

In addition to living areas, various types of factories and laboratories are also readily available.

All experiments that can be carried out on Earth can be carried out in the Pioneer. Not only that, the United Government has also stored a large number of rare materials in the Pioneer for emergency use.

In addition to life, production, and scientific research, military affairs are equally important.

Thanks to its huge size, the United Government installed all the weapons that can be installed on the Pioneer. These weapons come from various universes including "Warhammer 40K" and have terrible power to destroy the world.

This includes the ultimate weapon that the Necrons once used to destroy the Star God.

The entire outer shell of the Pioneer has an area of ​​about fifty square light years, which can be regarded as an oversized weapon rack, filled with various cutting-edge weapons collected by the United Government.

From a distance, the signal lights on the outer shell look like a brilliant galaxy.

"The Pioneer project is about to be completed."

"Before driving the Pioneer into the Three-Body Universe, we should first send a vanguard to the Three-Body Universe to explore the situation in the Three-Body Universe."

"At least we should know which powerful civilizations exist in the Three-Body Universe."

Zhang Weilai looked serious.

Although the Pioneer was built, he believed that it was better to be cautious and that he still needed to master more intelligence in order to better operate in the Three-Body Universe.

Although he learned a lot about the Three-Body Universe from the author of The Three-Body, it is not the real Three-Body Universe after all.

Even the author cannot fully understand a real universe.

Just like the Transformers Universe, the information obtained by the United Government from all channels does not include the mysterious civilization far away in the Andromeda Galaxy that can cross hundreds of thousands of light years to attack the Creator civilization.

Story writers often only know about things surrounding the story, but know very little about things that exist in the story world but are far away from the story itself.

"I agree."

"Agree."

"I agree."

"That's exactly what should happen."

The directors are all smart people, and they have huge think tanks from various countries to provide brain support. They quickly passed Zhang Weilai's proposal with a unanimous vote.

Although the United Government is anxious to further expand the boundaries of science, it is not particularly anxious.

Because it will take a long time for the scientists of the United Government to digest the current knowledge.

As long as the time technology is not used to shorten the digestion time, the United Government can still maintain social stability.

"The successful experience of the Pioneer Project can be replicated."

Zhang Weilai proposed his second proposal: "If the Pioneer can withstand the harsh test of the Dark Forest Law in the Three-Body Universe, I suggest starting the project of mass production of the Pioneer and using the Pioneer as a regular ship of the United Government."

The directors pursed their lips.

Through the parallel space-time technology, the United Government has obtained endless resources, and with the assistance of time shuttle technology and MOSS, the United Government can produce an infinite number of "products" in an almost negligible short time.

Although the Pioneer is a giant with a radius of two light years, it is just a machine after all, and everything that makes it up is definite and specific.

MOSS kept detailed records of the process of producing the first Pioneer. As long as the five directors nod, the process can be easily replicated countless times.

But before that, the Pioneer must survive in the Three-Body Universe.

Man-made giants like the Pioneer, due to their huge size, will become targets that are very easy to attack no matter what enemies they encounter.

The Dark Forest of the Three-Body Universe can verify the safety of the Pioneer.

If the Pioneer can survive the Hunters' attacks and survive all kinds of attacks, it will prove that the Pioneer is safe and reliable and worth mass-producing and equipping the army.

Otherwise, the United Government will temporarily abandon the giant route and continue to produce small and exquisite warships. (End of this chapter)
