"Dear Speaker Zalan, I'm sorry to send you this message now. We encountered some things while sailing to this galaxy, which caused the construction of the interstellar antenna to be delayed for a period of time."
In this message, Villagash claimed that there was a delay because there was a rebellion in the Okaro spacecraft, and he had to spend a certain amount of time to quell the rebellion.
When selecting personnel to carry out this mission that is crucial to the left-behind faction, the most loyal and reliable people must be selected to join this mission.
The leaders of the rebellion claimed by Villagash all share this characteristic: although they are also staunch stayers, their past resumes are not actually clear, but they still have some similarities with the wanderers.
connect.
For example, if a relative is a left-behind sect, for example, he or she once worked in a left-behind scientific research institute or company.
In the past, this kind of thing was actually nothing. After all, if you look into it carefully, no one is completely innocent. These people are just more obvious. But being selected to participate in this mission has already proven that they are
Firm stance.
Now, Villagash claims that they plotted and led the rebellion.
He did not point out the shadow of the Drifters behind this rebellion.
Sometimes, words don’t need to be said too clearly. Appropriate blank space is more conducive to people’s imagination.
Then, when Speaker Zalan, one of the leaders of the left-behind faction, begins to think about and investigate this matter, the past resumes of these people will be revealed, and some "connections" with the wandering faction that were not originally considered a matter will be revealed.
, will surface and become the "motivation" to support their rebellion.
Then the entire chain of evidence became clear. After all, no one would doubt Villagash's position. And if his position is firm, then if his position wavers, or even betrays his own camp and joins the Wanderers, he can only
It's those rebel leaders.
After being "transformed", I don't know what Villagash is thinking at the moment. After all, no one can read minds. But at least on the surface, he has no idea about "building a harmonious civilization together" and "repaying sins".
, showed great enthusiasm. In this matter of replying to the civilized subject's information, they also showed great cooperation.
This allowed him to gradually gain people's trust. And Zhao Changxing was not afraid that Villagash would harbor evil intentions and use metaphors or hints to warn or ask for help from the main body of the Moyunlitar civilization.
A perfect interrogation system is enough to nip this possibility in the bud.
After the information was sent, people continued to make an overall assessment of the Yuanhang spacecraft. At this time, a group of scientists represented by Zhuang Yunwei finally confirmed one thing.
This brought him to Zhao Changxing again and made a special report to all civilization leaders.
"We have confirmed the testimony of the people of Moyun Litar. The main weapon in the Yuanhang spacecraft is indeed a vacuum cannon."
There was a trace of fear in Zhuang Yunwei's words, but more of it was excitement.
Zhao Changxing asked: "Have you understood the principle?"
"The overly detailed principle has not yet been clarified. This exceeds our physical limits. I am afraid that it will have to be hundreds of thousands of years later before we can describe his principle in precise mathematical and physical language. Now, what we know is also
If the development of basic physics is insufficient, it will be impossible to even describe the operating principles of things that are already in front of us and can be seen and touched. There is no way around this.
"Roughly speaking, the principle of this weapon is to use some power existing in the vacuum to strengthen it, guide it, and cause it to cause damage to the target. The vacuum is actually not empty. From the perspective of quantum electrodynamics
In other words, the Lamb shift, the Casimir effect, and even the Van der Waals force are all descriptions of the effects produced by the 'force' that exists in the vacuum."
Just like the Casimir effect.
Because even in a vacuum without matter, there will still be quantum fluctuations, that is, pairs of virtual particles will be born out of thin air and then annihilate each other.
This phenomenon leads to the fact that if there are two uncharged metal plates very close to each other in a vacuum, there will be a mutual attraction between them.
When two metal plates are 10 nanometers apart from each other, the suction force between them is even equivalent to one atmospheric pressure.
This is the "power" that exists in the vacuum.
The vacuum cannon relies on this kind of power.
"The vacuum cannon is a range attack. Depending on the energy level, the maximum attack range of the vacuum cannon can reach a radius of 1,000 kilometers, and the distance can be up to millions of kilometers. Materials within its attack range will be destroyed by the vacuum.
The 'power' in it squeezes, twists, tears, deforms, etc., and even directly turns into a plasma state, and is integrated into the interstellar dust. The vacuum cannon on the Yuanhang spacecraft is only a small one, but its attack range is also quite large.
About one million kilometers, with an attack radius of up to 160 kilometers."
They had already known about the existence of the vacuum cannon from Villagash and others, and had interrogated the power of the vacuum cannon. However, they did not dare to believe it all until they received confirmation from their own scientists.
Now, solid evidence is placed in front of them.
"In addition, there is another part of the information that has also been confirmed. That is, before the end of the war, the vacuum cannon was indeed in the stage of being completely repaired. It was just that in the middle, it suffered man-made damage. Otherwise, it was damaged by man-made damage.
, Otherwise, once the vacuum cannon is repaired, even if we have 10,000 spaceships, it will not be enough to fight it..."
Zhuang Yunwei's words were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
Zhao Changxing and others also looked serious.
It turns out that these things are actually true.
Fortunately, the vacuum cannon was not completely repaired at that time.
"Now, it's ours."
A civilized leader murmured, his tone also filled with joy.
There is no doubt that this is indeed a strategic-level weapon, a super weapon that can determine the direction of a huge war and the fate of civilization.
Its technological level obviously exceeds the level of level 2 civilization. This means that even the deep space civilization, which is the pinnacle level 2 civilization, has not mastered the manufacturing method of this kind of weapon, and of course it does not have the ability to defend against this kind of weapon.
Ability.
From this moment on, even if human civilization encounters a powerful enemy that is as powerful as the peak deep space civilization, as long as the enemy does not rely on human sea tactics and swarms of spaceships like a tide, human civilization will have the ability to completely eliminate the enemy.
Just this one weapon has greatly improved the overall strength of human civilization.
"Fortunately, it's ours now."
Zhao Changxing thought silently in his heart and issued an order with a sigh.
"Let's investigate to find out which time someone sabotaged the repair of the vacuum cannon. If he is still alive, or has relatives..."
As he spoke, Zhao Changxing himself stopped and just shook his head.
There is really no need to investigate this matter. That person has obviously lost his life. And there is no family to talk to about this person.
"Let's put this achievement on all human beings. We promised them at the beginning that we would give them an equal life so that they can also enjoy the treatment they were born to have as human beings. Well, let's wait and see in the future."
After confirming this matter, some of the remaining questions from the past have been solved. Zhao Changxing lightly knocked on the table and gathered people's attention: "From now on, let's go all out to repair the Yuanhang spacecraft."
"yes."
The overall assessment of the Yuanhang spacecraft was completed after continuing for more than a year. Information on every damage, overall structure, and general principle of operation of the Yuanhang spacecraft has been completely collected.
Next, it’s time to carry out the overall restoration and formulate a renovation plan.
It is absolutely impossible to rely solely on humans for this work. However, the Moyunlitar people headed by Velagash have completed their ideological transformation and can join this task.
So the human scientist team joined forces with the Moyunlitar team of engineers and technical workers to jointly start formulating this plan.
This process can also be seen as a process in which the human scientific community learns from the scientific community of the Mounlitar civilization. Although the scientific information mastered by Villagash and others is only the very extreme of the huge scientific system of the entire third-level civilization.
There are a lot of scientific information and principles in a small part. Veragash and others only know it but don't know why, but this can also bring great improvement to the human scientific community.
The entire human civilization has provided strong backing for this huge restoration and transformation task.
Countless factories, countless steel, minerals, fusion power stations, spacecraft, etc. have been invested in this task. In the Jupiter system, the supply of materials to Sedna has once again reached its peak.
The entire human civilization, with millions of people from top to bottom, plus hundreds of thousands of people and sub-people from the original Moyun Litar civilization, and thousands of people who have already joined human civilization, apart from the different body structures, everything from thought to society
Patterns, behavior patterns, culture, etc., all of them have completed the humanization of the deep space aliens, and everyone has invested in this goal.
Time passed quietly amidst this busyness. Just over ten years after the repair and transformation mission had been carried out, and just when the Voyage spacecraft had been towed to the orbit of Sedna by dozens of giant tugboats, a
Information from the distant Lalande 21185 galaxy arrived in the solar system.
"Dear Villagash, first I need to tell you something. Currently, the Wanderers are pushing for a bill about 'sending inspectors to the solar system to inspect the progress of mineral mining and the details of the rebellion.' If the bill is passed
, then, it is very likely that Senator Hofmann, who is extremely hostile to our left-behind faction, led the team there..."
