Chapter 317 Federation Star Map, Cosmic Forest

After completing the situation in the solar system, Yan Xia boarded the Potato Chips and left the solar system.

He didn't know when he would come again, but it would probably be no less than another 100,000 years.

Yan Xia didn't even live on Taibai Star, he felt that it was meaningless.

The Potato Chips had been sailing between the stars, and its final destination was Rigel, but before that, Yan Xia still needed to visit various star regions.

"According to the information, a cosmic forest was found in the Cosmic Silk Road Star Region. Yan Xia, maybe you will be interested in this."

Ella received information from the Federation. They had passed through several star systems before, and there were even only one or two star cities in these star systems, which were far from stable.

"That's the plan, right? We sprinkled a lot of Jianmu seeds on the Cosmic Silk Road, and it seemed to have worked before, but since the Cosmic Silk Road collapsed, we haven't explored that star field again."

The Cosmic Silk Road was originally just a group of stars connected in a straight line, but as time went on, the Cosmic Silk Road also developed horizontally, eventually covering 218 star systems. From that time on, the Cosmic Silk Road was called a star field.

These 218 star systems are all usable star systems, which does not mean that there are only these 218 star systems in the Cosmic Silk Road star field. In fact, there are many red dwarfs that have no development value and are not listed, about 189, basically all single star systems. Even if the red dwarf is a binary or triple star system, it has a certain value.

"Where are the coordinates?"

Ella made the federal map into a three-dimensional chessboard with horizontal, vertical and vertical axes. Each large coordinate unit is 1 light year, and each small coordinate unit is one astronomical unit.

"293, 19, 481"

You can imagine the entire map as a box, and then divide it into three dimensions: length, width, and height. The first number is the horizontal axis (usually length). Count 293 light years from the left to the right from the front of the box at eye level. The second number is the vertical axis (usually height). Count 19 light years upward from the previous horizontal axis point. The third number is the vertical axis (usually width). Count 481 light years inward to get to this position.

The star field of the Federation is not a plane, but has thickness. Although the thickness of the Milky Way itself is not large relative to the diameter, the Federation has not considered so much at this time, because the star field occupied by the Federation itself has not reached the level of considering thickness.

The entire Federation is an irregular body with a length of 1489 light years, a width of 819 light years, and a height of 1014 light years. If calculated in this way, the volume of the Federation may be as high as 1.236 billion cubic light years, but in fact, the total volume occupied by the Federation is less than one-sixtieth of this number, only 20.27 million cubic light years.

In this area, the Federation covers as many as 39,000 stars, but the total number of stars developed by the Federation is only 16,118, including the stars developed by the Olive Branch Civilization.

Although the Olive Branch Civilization is highly centralized, they have developed a lot of star systems in order to build star cities, which is 15,417. In fact, there are only 701 stars belonging to the Federation, of which 214 are used for living and the rest are resource stars.

Therefore, in the next stage, the Federation needs to fully develop almost 8,500 stars above red dwarfs and 11,400 red dwarfs in multiple star systems among the 39,000 stars within the Federation.

Although the Federation plans to take the path of gravitational energy next, this does not mean that the Federation will give up these readily available star energy and the vast star field.

What if the Federation only has a few star systems? High centralization will make it easier for powerful enemies to target, and launching some star-level long-range weapons may lead to the destruction of civilization, so it is very necessary to control the vast star field and distribute life in various star systems.

Life does not need to gather into hundreds of billions of groups in one place, that would be too bloated.

The most Yan Xia could accept was the trillions of people carried by the ring world.

On the way to the coordinate star system, the Potato Chips saw the size of the star field controlled by the Federation, and Yan Xia sighed: "20.27 million cubic light years. You know, if there is only one person living in 1 cubic light year for every 1 trillion cubic kilometers, that is, 10,000 kilometers by 10,000 kilometers by 10,000 kilometers, which is only slightly smaller than the earth, 1 cubic kilometer can also accommodate 84.67 trillion trillion humans."

If written as a number, it would be 846786664623768869208157379, such a string of numbers.

Ella simplified Yan Xia's statement: "In other words, it can actually fit billions of Earths."

Yan Xia was silent for a while, then said: "That's true."

"And I, we now have 20.27 million such spaces, but in fact this is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Milky Way, millions or even tens of millions of places."

"The universe is so big!"

How big is the Milky Way compared to the entire universe? There are hundreds of billions of galaxies like the Milky Way in the entire universe, and how many civilizations have been born in them?

Every time I think of this, Yan Xia, who has lived in the universe for more than 100,000 years and has traveled thousands of light years in the universe, can't help but feel suffocated.

This voyage took another 2,300 years, and Yan Xia finally reached the target star system.

This is a star system that survived the bloom of destruction, because it is too remote and there is no life activity.

However, according to the information Ella got, after the Federation surrendered, some citizens of the Federation fled here and settled down, multiplying hundreds of millions of individuals here and establishing a new star country called "Cosmic Forest Star Country".

The name of the cosmic forest also comes from this.

This cosmic forest is not outside the star system, but inside the star system.

When Ella mapped the appearance of this cosmic forest, Yan Xia was also amazed by its beauty. Countless Jianmu grew in the void and wrapped a violent red dwarf star. They were constantly killed by the stellar wind of the red dwarf star, but grew again under the old shell, and finally formed a forest group that wrapped the entire red dwarf star.

At first glance, it was like a thorn bush wrapping a star layer by layer.

This is a result that an intelligent life civilization needs to develop from scratch for tens of thousands of years to achieve, and these Jianmu have actually accomplished such a magnificent feat. They look like an interstellar giant.

"There shouldn't be so much material in a red dwarf star system to supply these Jianmu trees." Yan Xia, a biologist and one of the inventors of Jianmu, raised the question.

Ella replied: "Maybe it wasn't like this when they came here 70,000 or 80,000 years ago. They collected resources from the surrounding star systems and continuously supplied these Jianmu trees, which made them grow like this."

The Potato Chips approached this star system.

At this time, Ella received a warning message from inside this star system...
