#904 - Chapter 904 Galaxy Cluster Naming Rules

Blue Star Calendar, April 18, 2099.

The Blue Star Federation established its first deep-space fleet to the Milky Way Galaxy: the Asian Federation Discovery Fleet.

This fleet was independently built by the Asian Federation, relying on the Blue Star Spaceport, so it could naturally be named.

The fleet consists of a Stellar-class command ship, 16 Planetary-class attack ships, and thousands of Frigates.

The total number of soldiers stationed on the ships exceeds 200,000.

This Stellar-class command ship was actually sold to the Asian Federation by Nata through the Blueberry Chamber of Commerce.

Even if the Asian Federation had more than 800 plug-in players, it would still be impossible to manufacture a Stellar-class attack ship in less than a few decades.

Nata selling it to them directly could save them a lot of time.

The Asian Federation Discovery Fleet set sail, with its destination being the Centaurus Arm, located on the inner side of the Orion Spur.

By analyzing the light emitted by stars, Nata randomly locked onto a star system located in the Centaurus Arm and, through spectral analysis, successfully constructed a wormhole anchor point in that star system.

And named the star system 1-1-0-1.

This is Nata's independently set star system naming method for constructing a wormhole map. The naming method is divided into four fields, with the following rules:

Galaxy Group Sequence Number - Galaxy Group Main Arm Sequence Number - Galaxy Group Spur Sequence Number - Star System Sequence Number.

The sequence number uses a base-32 system, arranged in anchoring order, and does not reflect positional relationships.

For example, the solar system's number is: 1-1-1-1.

The first 1 represents the Milky Way Galaxy, the second 1 represents the Centaurus Arm, the third 1 represents the Orion Spur, and the fourth 1 represents the first star system anchored on the Orion Spur.

For another example, the number of a star system is 4A-3-2-2MS46.

The first field, 4A, indicates the 4Ath galaxy group anchored.

The second field, 3, indicates the 3rd main arm anchored in that galaxy group.

The third field, 2, indicates the second spur anchored on that main arm.

The fourth field, 2MS46, indicates the 2MS46th star system anchored on that spur.

The reason for naming according to the order of anchoring, instead of using positional relationships, is because all galaxy groups and galaxies are constantly moving.

For the large-scale universe, constantly adjusting the positional relationships of galaxy groups and star numbers would consume a great deal of computing power. Moreover, after a galaxy is anchored, wormhole technology can be used for space jumps, so the distance between galaxy groups and galaxies is not a concern.

In this case, the positional relationship between galaxy groups and galaxies is not that important.

The mission of the Asian Federation Discovery Fleet this time is to colonize the 1-1-0-1 star system and, starting from there, begin anchoring the Centaurus Arm.

This is just the beginning.

To completely anchor all the hundreds of billions of star systems in the Milky Way Galaxy, one fleet is far from enough.

Although this work is arduous, once completed, humans will be able to reach any galaxy in the Milky Way within a few hours. This would make the colonization and development of the entire Milky Way Galaxy a possibility.

Currently, Nata has already begun developing a fully automatic galaxy group anchoring system.

Once successfully developed, it will be possible to colonize other vast galaxy groups similar to the Milky Way. However, this work is still in its initial stages and is estimated to take a long time to complete.

On this day, the Asian Federation headquarters in Binjiang Base successively received 38 cases of new virus infections.

Analysis of the extracted samples showed that this was a variant virus similar to a neurotropic virus.

The terrifying thing is that this virus is more infectious than the SPdv-1 type neurotropic virus. It can spread not only through blood but also through the air.

Without a doubt, this is a new round of gene attacks carried out by enemies hiding in the dark.

Over the past few decades, through free medical care, the Trojan DNA fragments in the human body have been basically repaired. However, this neurotropic virus does not rely on the Trojan fragment.

Once the incident occurred, the Blue Star Federation Parliament immediately took measures. Through phased isolation measures, gene therapy for infected individuals, disinfection of public places, and other methods, the epidemic was nipped in the bud.

This is the first time that humans have successfully resisted a virus attack through technical means without modifying their own DNA.

No one knows that the rapid extinguishing of the virus has become the starting point of a new crisis.

A circular small world entrance, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter, appeared over the Arctic.

After the entrance opened, ice-crystal-colored particles the size of fists fell from it, landing on the polar snow surface.

After receiving a report from the subspace sentry tower, Nata immediately arranged for a space mecha spacecraft to go and investigate.

At the same time.

The falling ice crystal particles grew rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In just over ten minutes, it grew into an extremely lush ice crystal tree.
