Li Yao's hands turned into colorful rainbow on the light screen, and he said thoughtfully, "so your father's prestige on the firefly is still very high? I ask you, if there is no such thing as today's, which is better than the power of your father and that of speaker Cui Lingfeng? "

Tang Xiaoxing thought for a moment and said seriously, "my father's prestige is really high. After all, all the technical problems that happened in the long journey of the stars depend on the technicians and bottom sailors. The bureaucrats in the Council can't stop the leaking shell or repair the overloaded power unit just by talking."

"So on the firefly, the people who support my father must be far more than those who support speaker Cui Lingfeng. In fact, most people hate our bloated parliament, which is why my father dares to force a vote to join the Federation."

"However, despite his high prestige, my father never wanted to cultivate a force blindly loyal to him, and most people supported him just because he was the captain of the firefly. Now I'm worried about whether Cui Lingfeng's gang will deliberately plant charges on my father. Even I'm "Treason". My father must be more serious! "

"I see."

Li Yao concluded, "your father's prestige on the firefly is very high. Cui Lingfeng, your speaker of Parliament, can't directly execute your father secretly. If you want to completely destroy these" alliance factions "of your father, you have to be accused of making your father lose his reputation and let all the people believe that the captain is guilty."

"In this way, the speaker faction can firmly control the firefly again, isn't it?"

Tang Xiaoxing gently bit his lips and nodded: "yes."

Li Yao's eyes turned round and round: "well, can you roughly guess what charges the other party will frame your father? After all, he is the head of the first warship. He can be regarded as the second person who can compete with the speaker. Ordinary trivial charges can't bring him down. On the contrary, it will arouse the anger of the people at the bottom, make them more and more disgusted with the parliament, and finally have the opposite effect. "

"So, the accusation of planting it on your father must be quite serious, and the other party must have fabricated irrefutable evidence. What would that be, treason? Is it treason to make secret contact with Xingyao Federation and try to join the Federation? "

Tang Xiaoxing shook his head: "contact with the Federation is not treason, of course. We and Xingyao Federation are both practitioners of civilization. We all share the same ideas and similar systems. After a thousand years of hard work, everyone knows the status quo of the firefly, except that the top parliament still clings to the signboard of" Xinghai Republic. ", In fact, the people at the bottom have long been unable to stand the harsh environment on board, and there is no hope at all! "

"We have escaped to the edge of the expansion of human civilization in the era of Xinghai Empire ten thousand years ago. If we escape from here, we will really become a rootless vagrant civilization in the unknown world, the dark universe, which has never been explored by human beings."

"Enough, a thousand years of escape is enough. No one wants to continue to escape. Since it has become a distant dream to kill back to our former home, we also want to find a new home on the edge of the sea of stars!"

"Therefore, many people on the firefly, especially the bottom sailors and their families who live in a bad environment, are not against it, and even eager to join the Federation!"

"We've heard that Tieyuan star, tree starfish of Xingyao Federation, and skeletal Dragon Star sandwiched between Tianyuan and blood demon are all stable planets with vast territory and few people. We only have more than 100 million people. We can rebuild our homes there and build a new federation together!"

"This is the voice of countless people. My father is just the representative of this voice. Joining the Federation is a matter of fair debate and promotion from the beginning to the end. Even if our" election observation mission "is authorized by the parliament, everything is legal. How can it be regarded as treason?"

Li Yao pondered: "therefore, the other party must have some crucial evidence, which can nail your father at once, and even guarantee that it will not cause a large-scale rebound of the people at the bottom. That's why today's swift and secret arrest... My next question is, what's your special importance?"

Tang Xiaoxing was slightly shocked: "me?"

Li Yao's eyes finally came out of the light screen and glanced at her gently: "although you are the daughter of the captain of the firefly, I don't think the identity of" the daughter of the captain "is enough for the other party to attach so much importance to you and send such an elite secret police team to arrest you secretly. After all, you are only a weapon refiner. According to common sense, There's not much chance of escape. "

"It's a problem that can be solved by sending a few people. It's just a matter of arousing the masses. So I think your value must not be as simple as the daughter of the captain, right?"

Tang Xiaoxing is hesitating.

Li Yao continued to look at the light curtain and said faintly, "I'm not interested in your secret, but I'm evaluating your value in the other party's heart, including whether the other party must keep you alive, whether they will throw a rat's fear in the exchange of fire, and so on. This matter is very important to our later actions, or that sentence, if you don't believe me, You can get off at any time - just at the corner of the snack street ahead? "

Tang Xiaoxing took a deep look at Li Yao and gritted his teeth, saying: "master Lin is really dazzling. He is right at all. My father is a tough man. He will never betray the interests of all his compatriots for the sake of his daughter's safety. I'm afraid they want to seize me not to threaten my father with me, but for the part of the" jumping key "I have mastered."

"Jump key?"

Li Yao blinked, "what's that?"

"It's our firefly, the star sea jump matrix's start secret."

Tang Xiaoxing explained, "the firefly has the most advanced array type star sea jumping unit in the whole universe. Its biggest feature is that it can greatly shorten the distance between two star ships when they jump at the same time, and even shrink to an astonishing degree of hundreds of meters. It still does not interfere with each other

Li Yao nodded.

The so-called sea of stars jump is a process from the three-dimensional world to the four-dimensional world, and then from the four-dimensional world to the three-dimensional world.

In this process, the objects that jump or transmit will inevitably ripple the space-time debris at both the jumping point and the arrival point!

There is no doubt that such spatial fluctuations will have a strong interference on the things next to them.

Suppose there are two starships, within a very close distance, say, one or two kilometers - on the cosmic level, this is a very small distance - at the same time, they jump to the same destination, which is very likely to collide or even merge. You have me and I have you, and the consequences are unimaginable!

Therefore, in the vast sea of stars, not only are there not many star regions suitable for building the "gate of the stars", but even if a suitable star region is found, warships often have to be separated by hundreds of kilometers to ensure that they do not interfere with each other before they can jump.

The larger the scale of a warship, the longer the distance it has to cross, the stronger the destructive ripples it raises in the "broken void", and the larger the gap around it.

Most of the time, if we want to mobilize a large-scale Star Sea fleet to explore another world hundreds of millions of light-years away, it is impossible to transport all the large-scale main warships in one go - doing so will only lead to the fleet becoming a stack of iron knots in the destination, which will continue to explode.

Therefore, it often takes three or five days or even one or two weeks to complete the jump and deployment of the whole fleet.

When the expeditionary army jumps, that is, when it is most vulnerable - the starships that have already jumped to their destination are often very separated, and there is no concept of front and formation; Subsequent starships are still stranded at the starting point hundreds of millions of light-years away, so it is impossible to instantly transmit them to the destination. Even if they are transmitted, the crew in the "sequelae of broken void" and the starships entangled by the ripples in space will not play a tenth of their combat power.

It's just like the Ancient Army crossing a turbulent river. The so-called "half crossing and attacking" is not a joke.

But Tang Xiaoxing even said that the Xinghai jump matrix on the firefly can shorten the jump distance between starships to several hundred meters?

In this way, the firefly's requirements for the stability of the jumping destination are greatly reduced, and its flexibility, concealment and mobility are greatly improved. With a little wind and grass, the hundreds of star ships connected together can escape instantly!

The value of such technology in the star sea war is immeasurable!

Li Yaofei blinked: "the same technology, does Empire and holy alliance have it?"

Tang Xiaoxing said: "I don't think so. The predecessor of our firefly is a test ship under construction. It is said that many magic weapons from the era of Xinghai Empire and even the relic technology from the ancient times are unique. After seizing this test ship, we rely on such a powerful Xinghai jump matrix, Only in this way can we hide for thousands of years under the siege of the imperial army of human beings. If they had the same star sea jumping technology, I'm afraid we would have been caught long ago! "

"However, after a long thousand years of escape, our Xinghai jump matrix has long been overburdened and needs comprehensive maintenance and overhaul, and I happen to be one of the refiners responsible for the maintenance of Xinghai jump matrix."

Today, I chatted with a book friend and talked about a very interesting question.

Say - many young people in this article, such as Tang Xiaoxing, who looks like she's coming out of the water, are actually very powerful refiners, or some important project leaders, or university teachers. Is it a little unrealistic? Are her qualifications, experience and level enough? Is it for the sake of stimulation?

After all, it seems that it's not good to arrange a white haired granny to take risks with old devil Li?

At the same time, Lao Niu read today's news and said that the average age of the whole scientific research team of the newly launched Long March 5 is 33 years old, and there are three post-90s.

I think that should be enough to explain the problem, right?

Finally, congratulations on the successful launch of Long March 5. Our past is the future of all nations, and our future is the sea of stars!
