600000 kilometers? A slightly worrying distance.
"What about the cosmic string network?"
"Captain, we are about 20 million kilometers away from the nearby cosmic string. This distance is safe enough, except for gravitational fluctuations the size of a black hole. However, there are many cosmic strings in front of us. We will approach a cosmic string of gb0902. "
Although the cosmic string is a highway in the universe, it is also a very dangerous place. If hostile civilizations use super graviton guns to trigger great gravity, it is easy to tear up the spacecraft.
Therefore, after entering the normal navigation, the human fleet will keep a certain safe distance from it.
However, there is no way to encounter the cosmic string in front. The cosmic string is horizontal and vertical. According to the current course, the cosmic string in front must pass through. The nearest space distance is about 1.2 million kilometers.
Fortunately, in order to ensure the accuracy, the super gravitational projectile causing gravitational fluctuation will not be fast, easy to be found, and then intercepted by the laser.
If that alien spacecraft causes super gravity nearby, it will first affect itself.
Zhang Yuan thought about it in his heart. He issued several orders: "shrink the formation, keep alert at all times, keep observing the outside world, especially pay attention to whether there are landmine devices near the cosmic string in front."
"Laser weapons are ready to launch."
"Electromagnetic gun... Electromagnetic gun is not allowed for the time being."
At a distance of 600000 kilometers, the slow electromagnetic gun is not of great use. Electromagnetic guns and nuclear missiles can be most effective only in close combat.
But then again, the power of laser weapons is not as powerful as electromagnetic guns and missiles. If you want to completely destroy Kunlun mountain with laser - it is not impossible, but you need at least 100 or even 1000 laser weapons loaded on Kunlun mountain to do this!
The most powerful weapon in Kunlun Mountain belongs to a helium hydrogen ion gun!
This ion gun composed of the strongest acid in the universe can reach the maximum speed of about 70% of the speed of light, and can corrode almost any conventional material. It can be said to be the strongest under antimatter weapons!
It is precisely because of the existence of these military weapons that mankind has the confidence to travel far between the stars. You know, the 8 million people in Kunlun Mountain are not dressed in white.
Zhang Yuan took a slight breath and said, "don't worry. We must contact aliens during this trip... Contact according to the conventional procedures."
Because there is no real star war, many people are still a little afraid. If there is a war, no one knows what will happen... Spaceships are everyone's lives. War is very, very risky for mankind and must win a complete victory.
Of course, the risk is the same for each other. So the probability of inexplicably fighting is very low.
Looking at everyone's silence, Zhang Yuan asked: "the other party's ship is sailing slowly here. How can I feel a very strange feeling... We have 30 hours to meet, and now the whole fleet has no time to turn sharply. Do you have any special ideas? "
"For example, send signals to each other, exchange some cosmic knowledge, or scientific and technological exchanges. As for material exchange, it is basically impossible. Our spacecraft is now so fast that it is very difficult to receive each other's materials... The two sides just meet by chance. You don't have to be so nervous. "
Before the voice fell, an important report from the astronomical observation room suddenly came on the central large screen - the electromagnetic wave information sent by the other party's spacecraft!
The relevant technicians have finished the whole translation work, and Li Zhendong sitting next door reads it directly as soon as his eyes brighten:
"Unknown civilization, Hello, this is the information transfer station of Amoeba civilization-d00987."
"We hope to trade first-hand information about the trend of interstellar civilization in the galaxy, and provide scientific and technological materials below level 4 civilization... If you have relevant wishes, you can communicate with us."
The translation of this paragraph is very easy to understand: the other party is a transit station for information technology transactions.
There is also a large series of dictionary sequences about the language of Gaia civilization. Through these dictionary sequences, these words can be easily translated, as if they were afraid that humans would not understand these information.
Even if humans have mastered this language.
"This dictionary sequence is more complete than the information we have." An information scientist turned a few pages casually on his tablet computer and shouted, "good thing, earned it!"
"In this way, we fully master the voice of Gaia civilization."
Moreover, the amoeba civilization is just a civilization that human beings have heard of, so that many people are excited at once. Universal common sense, especially the common sense between interstellar civilizations, the most lacking knowledge of mankind, may be made up in this transaction!
Dr. Li Cheng suddenly said, "amoeba civilization... I seem to have heard of it somewhere. Oh, by the way, Captain Zhang once heard the story of hundreds of years ago in that high-dimensional prison. Should it be a very powerful civilization? "
These remarks aroused the approval of many people.
In particular, the act of giving dictionary sequences to this civilization from the beginning did not hide them, which won everyone's favor.
Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. A civilization that can contact Gaia civilization should be very powerful when you think about it with your thumb. As a result, there is an information transfer station here, and the content of the transaction is what mankind needs most.
"If we have enough universal knowledge, the future exchanges between civilizations will be safer and smoother."
"Maybe there will be curvature technology."
Listening to the excited discussion, Zhang Yuan shook his head and whispered, "don't take it lightly. First of all, don't say whether this is an amoeba civilization... Does it say yes, it is?"
"Secondly, how to say... The civilization that can contact Gaia civilization is a thousand times stronger than us!"
"Even if the fleet of amoeba civilization is very friendly and abides by the contract in front of Gaia civilization, it is also because Gaia civilization is strong enough. Who knows what kind of attitude amoeba will have towards a lower civilization... "
A vice captain surnamed Song said, "I don't think we need to worry too much about this problem. If the amoeba civilization is a very powerful civilization, there is no need to plunder the low-level civilization, otherwise it will be notorious and can't become a famous cosmic businessman. We have no real fame and value at this value. We are just a secondary civilization. "
It's reasonable to say that even if you want to rob, you have to catch the right fat sheep. To put it awkwardly, there is nothing special about human beings, which is worth damaging their reputation.
"That is to say, since this is only a transit station, there may not be any life in it, and it is probably only artificial intelligence that controls the spacecraft... This also explains why the transit station moves so slowly and stays at the intersection of cosmic strings. Is it actually waiting for the arrival of interstellar civilization and trading information? "
