I believe that any kind of intelligent life in the universe will have the desire to trace the origin.

As a representative of the earth's civilization, human beings will definitely have such profound thoughts and strongly hope to uncover the mystery about their own life experience.

"Will we have a chance to see the 'creator'?" Durunik suddenly murmured to himself.

"We may not necessarily have a chance, but humans on Earth should have a chance." Yuan Shichen's answer to this question contained hope and regret.

"I really hope I can live hundreds or thousands of years more..."

Durunik, who has always been optimistic and optimistic, became sad after hearing what Yuan Shichen said. He naturally understood what Yuan Shichen meant.

Indeed, the lifespan of a man is just a hundred years under the large scale of the universe and space, just like a blink of an eye.

Compared to the vast universe, we are all short-lived people. The more a person knows the value of time, the more he feels the pain of losing time.

For such a flash in the pan, as well as such a low level of science and technology, it is simply a delusion to catch up with the Creator.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Although we may not follow the Creator's footsteps, we may have the opportunity to go to the birthplace of the Creator's technological civilization, that is, the hometown of the alien doctor." Yuan Shichen smiled on his face and comforted Durunik's shoulder with one hand on his shoulder.

"Based on the information we have obtained now, can we lock in the Alien Doctor's home planet?" Durunik immediately felt energetic when he heard this.

"I have also talked with Team Leader Frank before. The final conclusion needs to be further confirmed, but we already have very clear clues." Harashi Kazuchen continued confidently, "In the memory fragment of Genesis 8 artificial intelligence, Doctor Alien mentioned that their planet is about 4 light years away from the solar system."

"About 4 light years..." Durunik muttered, thinking quickly about all the stellar systems that meet the conditions. "Centaur alpha star (by three stars) is about 4.242-4.365 light years away from the solar system; Barnard star, a red dwarf star 5.963 light years away; Wolf 359 is 7.783 light years away, Canis A major (Sirius A), 8.583 light years away, Canis A minor (Nanhe Three A) is 11.402 light years away..."

"Of the 50 stars near the solar system, there are three stars with the same size as the Sun:

1. Centauri α star A (optical magnitude -0.01, absolute magnitude 4.38, surface temperature 5790K, mass is 1.1, and radius is 1.23);

2. Canis A, the α star A of Canis (Sirius A, apparent magnitude -1.46, absolute magnitude 1.42, surface temperature 9940K, mass 2, radius 1.71);

3. Dogs α star A (Nanhe San A, apparent magnitude 0.38, absolute magnitude 2.66, surface temperature 6650K, mass 1.5, radius 1.86);"

"So, comprehensive judgment, the most likely one should be Centauri α star A!!!" After Durunik calculated from several aspects, he came up with the most likely answer.

Regarding Durunik's conclusion, Yuan Shichen didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Centaur alpha star!" Durunik was stunned at first, then shook his head and sighed.

"Durunick, what's going on with you today? Aren't you Americans always full of confidence?"

Yuan Shichen complained that he felt that Durunik was too pessimistic.

"Centaur alpha star is composed of three stars. Even the Centaur alpha star C (Proxima Centaur), which is closest to the earth, is 4.22 light-years away..." Durunik couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

"here we go again!!"

"According to the maximum flight speed of the traditional power system of the Starship Spacecraft, it will take at least several thousand years to reach the Alpha Centaurus from Earth. So, we have no chance to reach the hometown of the alien doctor." Durunik said without stopping shaking his head.

"We must be full of confidence. Although our capabilities are limited now, new technologies will definitely improve greatly in a few years. Science and technology will always develop continuously!" Yuan Shichen comforted.

"This Mars scientific exploration operation, the nuclear pulse propulsion system performed very well. I also believe that the nuclear pulse propulsion technology will become more and more perfect in the near future, but it is still a difficult thing to reach the α-Star Centaurus." Durunik calmed down a little. He thought for a while and began to continue to calculate. "According to the Aerospace Research Institute, if the technology is stable and the nuclear fuel is sufficient, and considering the long-term acceleration range of astronauts, our flight speed can theoretically reach 10% to 20% of the speed of light. Then it will take at least 22 to 45 years to reach the α-Star Centaurus. Even if there is sufficient supplies on the spacecraft that can allow us to survive for more than 40 years, after we reach our destination, we have become an old man. I guess we will never return to Earth in our lifetime."

Indeed, according to the technical information provided by the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Institute of Nuclear Power, if the manned factor is not taken into account, the spacecraft of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance can be filled with 1/3 of the nuclear fuel mass and release all the nuclear fuel energy matrix continuously within one month. The spacecraft can achieve the highest theoretical navigation speed - 10~20% of the speed of light, but this does not take into account the nuclear fuel consumption required to slow down and return when reaching the destination.

However, if you want to travel a manned interstellar, you will encounter more and more complex problems, such as the following key problems that must be solved:

First, the acceleration cannot be too fast. Continuous acceleration to the maximum speed in a month is definitely unbearable for astronauts. The cumulative acceleration time must be extended to at least 1 to 2 years and cannot be carried out continuously. Some rest and buffering time should be reserved in the middle of each acceleration (this can be properly solved, but it also means that the time for interstellar travel will become longer);

Second, we must ensure that the nuclear pulse propulsion system can operate safely and stably within a long space navigation period, and eliminate the possible harm caused by nuclear radiation and the high heat generated to astronauts (The Interstellar Exploration Alliance has initially solved this problem, but how to preserve safe and stable operation for more than 40 years will be a greater challenge;

Third, during this long journey, astronauts need to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate. A large amount of supply and survival systems will greatly increase the weight of the spacecraft, which in turn restricts the speed of the spacecraft (the current hibernation technology is not mature and cannot guarantee the health of astronauts in maintaining a low-consumption sleep state for a long time, and 40 years of food replenishment will be an astronomical figure).

Fourth, in addition, astronauts will inevitably experience various physiological and psychological problems during their long interstellar journey, which are factors that must be fully considered.
