In the next hour, all the flagships of the New Humanity deployed their curvature bubbles and separated themselves from each other by nearly 20 astronomical units.
Along the way, a small amount of dust-like powder was also thrown into the space.
These powders can be used to detect surrounding laser weapons.
Laser is colorless and leaves no trace in the universe. As long as it does not hit the target, it is generally impossible to detect it.
But if a laser weapon passes through a layer of light powder, it will ionize the haze particles and produce a bright light.
In this way, whether the opponent has a light speed attack can be detected.
If this commercial spaceship really launches an attack on the new human civilization, then these flagships must launch counterattacks. Although... it is not necessarily so easy to hit the target after being separated by a few light hours.
Because a war could break out at any time, astronomers were very worried. They stared at the screen closely to observe whether there were lasers passing through the surrounding fog.
"No laser strikes were observed!" Such reports would be submitted to the captain's office every ten minutes.
Astronomer Professor Thomson was discussing with his students, half worried and half excited, "Just like when we find something is wrong, we will immediately distance ourselves..."
"According to the analysis just now, if the other party is a robber, after observing that the plan fails, he will immediately run away or take off. After all, it is impossible to continue to orbit the star, right?"
All you can do now is wait and observe the other party's reaction.
The countdown on the screen passed by minute by minute. The set number was very accurate. At this moment, it finally returned to zero, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the screen.
The opponent's big spaceship is still there, orbiting the ellipse!
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
It seems...no response!
"Theoretically, the other party must have observed this explosion, but did not react. There was no light speed strike where we originally stayed."
"hold on."
"Still not..."
hold on.
Still nothing...
Many people in the captain's room have become more and more excited and agitated: "This means that the opponent's spaceship... is really broken?"
Yu Yifeng frowned slightly. Could it be that...did they really guess it right? That the opponent's spaceship was so broken? Although it is very strange, it seems...that is indeed the case.
In this way, the new human civilization has completely captured the opponent's fate!
If you want to survive, you have to rely on new human civilization, otherwise you will end up being swallowed by the star in a few years.
After these two hours, people received each other's messages again.
Yu Yifeng glanced at it and said with a slight smile: "The other party did not run away directly... but instead negotiated terms with us!"
When he received this news, he finally let go of his doubts.
"...You are very shameless. After witnessing this explosion, it was as if nothing had happened. You still want to trade spaceships with us? You really learned a lesson."
I saw this commercial spacecraft reply: "...theoretical knowledge of dark matter deflection shield technology is impossible! This technology was bought from advanced civilizations, and we do not have it. And other high-end technologies are the foundation of civilization.
, it cannot be in the hands of one of our caravans."
"And... your requirements are too high! The number of one spaceship is too small, at least six!"
"...We must ensure that we enter the super-light speed state, otherwise, you will get nothing."
Seeing the other party's bargaining text, the meeting room became lively again.
A member of the older generation shouted angrily: "...You still dare to bargain! The price must be high, high!"
"...If you want to survive, you can only spend a lot of money to buy ours! What's more important, life or people? I'm afraid they can't afford it!"
Another more calm engineer stood up and nodded: "I think... the other party was wrong first and used unconventional means. So there is no need to be polite to them!"
"You can use this... to eat everything they have! You can also eat this large commercial spacecraft! There is a complete industrial chain and a large number of engineers in the Home. You see, the maintenance of the dark matter deflection shield requires energy, so
I speculate that the engine of this spacecraft is intact, and it only needs to be repaired and a few curvature engines can be installed before it can sail."
"After we take over the spacecraft, I will volunteer to repair the spacecraft..."
As soon as these words were said, many people raised their hands and said, "I am willing too!"
"Me too!"
Yu Yifeng nodded, but did not agree immediately. He continued to add: "First of all, the most practical thing is the other party's technology...as a deposit, regardless of whether it is useful or not..."
After a few discussions, the conference room burst into cheers. They all believed that the new human race had won the final victory in this contest.
A... big victory!
Of course, there is still a lot of wrangling to come. Although the other party wants to survive, they cannot easily hand over the lifeblood of the entire civilization.
The business elites of the new human race must slowly understand the other party's psychological bottom line during the negotiation process in order to strive for greater benefits!
Moreover, the situation inside the spacecraft has not yet been fully understood. There are still a small number of people who are wondering whether there is any conspiracy in this commercial spacecraft, which always feels a bit strange.
Among civilizations...nothing is trivial, and no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious!
"We have to get some technology from the other party first. This is a prerequisite. We must give us a large deposit first!"
"Well... we can't simply sell them to them, even to any Titan!" Dr. Rimbaud said with a red face: "Let's first draw up a list of all we want and send it over! Anyway, the more, the better."
"...No, no, no, we must not rashly agree to their request. We can't sell them one by one! Maybe they only need one Titan to carry the entire population, but they lower the price by falsely reporting the quantity!"
"You must hold your breath and bite off a piece of meat!"
Many people are dreaming about a large spaceship with a distance of 150 kilometers.
Maybe... the new human civilization will soon be able to obtain this large commercial spaceship. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
After getting this big spaceship, the overall strength, although not as exaggerated as doubling, can at least increase by 50%, right? And this spaceship is obviously not made by the newly launched L2 civilization, it has a certain level.
So far, people have never built such a large spaceship!
It's not that it's technically impossible, but that it's too troublesome industrially. In theory, a fifty-kilometer spaceship has quite complete functions, can carry a considerable population, and can also accommodate huge electromagnetic guns, ion cannons, etc.
Every time the length of the spacecraft is doubled, the volume is eight times the original size! The industry also has to consume eight times the production capacity.
A 100-kilometer spaceship would require eight times the "50-kilometer level" production capacity, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it couldn't beat eight "50-kilometer level" ships.
So the new humans did not build large spaceships.
Of course, large spaceships also have the advantages of large spaceships, such as strong carrying capacity, high fault tolerance, anti-strike capability, great deterrence, etc.
As for what happened to this spaceship, it is unknown...
Many experts are even planning in advance on how to get it out of danger of being swallowed by the star, and whether it should be pulled with high-strength ropes...
This is money to buy one's life, and if the other party is wrong first, people win... peace of mind!
