"The civilization of the VSC-16 galaxy calls themselves the Kron people. Their planet is very large and their technology is highly developed. In their main sequence galaxy, they have completed the transformation of three habitable planets."
"Very strong - don't they have the ability to travel through wormholes?"
"According to the ancestors' descriptions, they should exist. But for unknown reasons, they did not explore further in the universe." Uda's expression was very indifferent, and he even shrugged in Ye Ming's usual way.
: "Perhaps they think that neighboring galaxies are of no value, or perhaps they think that hasty exploration will cause war. In short, they are just concentrating on building and exploring their own galaxy."
Ye Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "Then the executor doesn't care about them?"
"They probably have some kind of contract with the executors. The ancestors also learned about the executors through them."
Ye Ming frowned: "Neutral civilization?"
"The Executors are not the destroyers of the universe, they only attack and interfere with civilizations that violate forbidden technologies." Uda was silent for a few seconds and said: "Although I think this is ridiculous, the Kodo people are on the planet with eyes.
The fact that it reproduces and continues smoothly also proves this."
Ye Ming fell into thinking for a long time, and after a while he raised his head: "So, can we be sure that the executors are just as we suspected before, what they execute is just the set reaction process - they are actually
A purely intelligent mechanical civilization?”
"There is no evidence of this so far."
Ye Ming hummed and fell into thinking again.
In any war, figuring out the enemy's origin and purpose is the most important task. That's why humans are so "generous" to the Blue Star people - largely because they want to know the background of the executor through them. Likewise.
Yes, the human reconnaissance spacecraft that is about to set sail will also move along the star path the executor came from, preparing for a "pre-war communication" with the other side.
These are all to understand, communicate, and communicate with the enemy before the war begins, and even to quell the war.
The big bosses of the Human Community Alliance have made many plans for this and drawn many red lines - as long as peace can be achieved, humans will not even mind making some concessions to seek opportunities for development.
But the premise of these is that the executors can communicate and are willing to communicate.
But now, listening to what Uda said, Ye Ming felt more and more that this executor was a bit weird - why did it feel a bit similar to the human immune system?
——Assuming that the technological development of a civilization touches the "taboo" is similar to a virus invasion or infection, then if we look at the universe and look at the human body, the executor is the white blood cells sent out by the immune system.
In other words, it is anti-virus software, and anything that touches the "taboo" is a computer virus.
This speculation made Ye Ming very unhappy.
It feels like I have become a villain inexplicably.
"I don't understand." After a long silence, Ye Ming looked at Uda again: "What we attracted the executor is the artificial singularity technology, right?"
"That was one of the strongest spatial fluctuations."
"What about you at the beginning? Was it the same?"
"According to records, our ancestors should have conducted experiments to capture void energy - what you call vacuum zero-point energy."
"Well... it probably means that disturbances to the original rules of the universe will attract executors." Ye Ming closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds: "But I still don't quite understand why. After mastering these,
Will it threaten the rule of the Executor? Or will the universe be destroyed? The universe will be destroyed, isn't this a joke..."
Uda nodded calmly: "Yes, we can't figure it out either."
Ye Ming thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason, so he put it aside. Then he looked at Uda and suddenly smiled: "Then you still dare to build artificial wormholes with us?"
Uda, who had always been very calm, suddenly fell silent when he heard this. After a moment, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "You are not afraid, so what do we have to fear? Moreover, you must admit...human beings and us,
There are very similar similarities in the pursuit of truth."
Ye Ming was speechless for a while.
The Blue Planet people once transformed the earth, which is already academically recognized history... No one can deny it, but after hearing Uda's words, I always feel that even the nature of human beings to pursue the truth has been affected.
The inspiration and influence of the Blue Star people...
This feels a bit like that.
But he quickly put aside this little bit of dissatisfaction - even if humans were once enlightened by the Blue Star people, it is a fact that humans are doing better now.
"Well, it seems we have to ask for help from those Kerong people, right? It's impossible to ask them for help."
Uda nodded: "Actually, as far as we know in the universe, once a war starts... the outcome is often devastating, especially for civilizations that live on a single planet, because destroying war resources is the end.
The best choice for war."
Ye Ming was silent, then smiled slightly.
"So, some battles have to be fought."
"Do you really have confidence?"
"some."
"What weapons do you have?"
"Sorry, it's still a secret now."
…
In the next few days, Ye Ming attended several meetings and met with several bosses. On the one hand, he reported on the work, and on the other hand, he strengthened his beliefs.
Then he took a plane directly to Jiangcheng.
As the first city in mankind to ignite controllable nuclear fusion, Jiangcheng is at the forefront of everything related to "electricity" - now residents' electricity consumption has dropped to 10 cents, and there are even plans to introduce free electricity for residents.
policy.
The results of such measures are remarkable - Jiangcheng has the highest penetration rate of household appliances in the world, and it is also the first city to completely eliminate gas stations.
Because of the business card effect, the International Controllable Fusion Energy Center is also located here.
Three black commercial vehicles quietly drove into the gate of the energy center. A moment later, a group of professors and senior engineers went out and stood in a row outside the building.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Ye Ming stepped out of the car door, a group of people headed by Director Huo Liang smiled and applauded.
"Teacher Huo, Academician Luo, Academician Chen, Academician Du..." Ye Ming shook hands and greeted these teachers who had fought side by side ten years ago, smiling constantly: "I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style.
.”
"How can we be better than you?" Academician Huo Liang laughed loudly and took Ye Ming's arm: "Let's go into the house."
As everyone returned to the living room, everyone started chatting about their daily life.
Almost all of the people here are those who used to work with Ye Ming on controllable nuclear fusion reactors and fusion engines, but since the Yao Yue went to space, Ye Ming has never returned to Jiangcheng. Therefore, many of the people here are
Haven't seen you for several years.
Now Professor Huo Liang has become the director as the chief scientist and fuel expert of the invitation moon, and everyone else has also been elected as an academician. Everyone is happy.
"How about we hold the meeting here?" Ye Ming was very happy to see his old friend for the first time, but after all, he was busy and didn't have much time to chat.
Professor Huo Liang nodded with a smile: "Okay, you have the final say."
"Uh... Then I'll really start?" Ye Ming looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "There are still three months left before we can conduct two-dimensional expansion experiments. How long will it take for the fission thruster?"
——When initially designing the rice grains, a variety of propulsion options were considered, including controllable nuclear fusion, fuel rockets, etc., but in the end, a controllable nuclear fission engine with a correspondingly simple structure was chosen.
That's right, it's a fission engine, not a fusion engine.
Although fusion can produce higher energy and convert it into propulsion, the current two-dimensional expansion design is extremely complex, and the means to achieve controllable nuclear fusion are also complex. In comparison, fission engines are much simpler and faster.
Not much slower.
Hearing Ye Ming go straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone present laughed understandingly.
Ten years have passed, and sure enough, this guy's style has not changed.
But today, no one answered him immediately, but all looked at Professor Huo Liang.
Ye Ming was a little confused and looked at Professor Huo Liang.
Professor Huo Liang smiled slightly: "Let's not talk about fission thrusters first, let's talk about fusion thrusters."
Ye Ming was slightly startled: "Fusion thruster? Helium 3 fusion?"
Professor Huo Liang shook his head slightly: "We have just completed cold nuclear fusion."
Ye Ming's pupils shrank instantly: "How was it done?"
"Remember what we said when we first started the ignition? The Ni people have been working on cold nuclear fusion under high pressure."
The scene at that time immediately emerged in Ye Ming's mind - he still remembered that when he and the group of people present inspected the laboratory building, it was mentioned in the gossip.
"Well, what then?"
"They didn't succeed, but we did." Professor Huo Liang exhaled slowly: "Of course, it can't be regarded as the kind of alchemical cold fusion, it can be regarded as a kind of high-pressure cold fusion."
"According to our calculations, it is naturally more suitable for 'narrow' 'spaces'."
Professor Huo Liang clapped his hands as he spoke: "In two-dimensional space, it is easy to implement."
