Reaching for the Stars Project Archives

Federation calendar year 00 The high-energy survey satellite discovered an abnormal pulse during its inspection. Astrophysicist Ms. Wu Shaolan confirmed that it was a dark object about 30 light-years away from the earth and approaching the orbit of the solar system at a high speed of about 0.35 Times the speed of light. Federal Calendar Year 00-05 Scientists around the world have reached a consensus and confirmed that it is the remnant of a neutron star. It is expected that in 70-80 years, the main part will pass through the solar system as close as 4 light-years away. The accompanying debris swarms will arrive in the solar system one after another, and some of them will be captured by the solar system. Impacts on the planet are expected to last for decades and centuries. A consensus was reached after several international meetings. The strong magnetic field, radioactivity, particle wind and high-speed debris accompanying the ruins will have a devastating impact on the earth's ecology. However, the resources brought by neutron star materials, such as actinide elements and rare isotopes, high-density alloys, superconducting material raw materials, etc., Will be civilization-level strategic resources that change energy and materials science. Federation Calendar Year 05 Formally establish the Earth Federation, cancel the state system, establish a global universal identity system, establish a temporary global disaster economic system, and integrate global resources. The time when the neutron star remains were discovered was determined to be the first year of the Federal Standard Calendar. In order to thank Ms. Wu Shaolan for her contribution, the neutron star remains were named Shaolan Star, and the East Eighth District time was set as Earth Standard Time.
