Chapter 596

When Zhang Yuan saw these parameters, he couldn't help wrinkling his nose. 2 light minutes. This number is only a small number in astronomical units. One astronomical unit is equivalent to 8.3 light minutes. One light year is equal to 63241 astronomical units.

But for human high-precision equipment, it is a big number.

On the curvature missile, it is impossible to install a super telescope with a diameter of several kilometers or a super high-power radar. Why can it find a small target and guide it accurately?

As for other space weapons, such as lasers and ion cannons, they don't even have guidance ability after being launched. The distance they can hit is within 2 light seconds.

Yes, only 2 light seconds!

The electromagnetic gun with low speed can only hit within 0.5 light seconds.

Ordinary nuclear bombs are pitifully slow and can only be launched at close range by UAVs.

"In other words, distance is still the best way to protect civilization."

"In a word, curvature missile is the only weapon that can cause high damage to curvature spacecraft at an ultra long distance, so we still need to develop... Vigorous development!"

There was silence in the conference room, and some members who did not know much about it began to talk and discuss in whispers.

Zhang Yuan swallowed his saliva. What does the general mean? Is to take this opportunity to ask for money naked!

Isn't a curvature missile equal to a spaceship? The missile has to be equipped with a curvature engine, supercomputing of ultra-high calculation amount, and a dark matter tracking device to fuzzy judge each other's trace. The cost is ridiculously high!

Oh, by the way, it's already so expensive. The destructive power of this missile must be amazing. How can we use the most powerful antimatter inside!

Even so, the hit rate is still very low, one in ten thousand?

Zhang Yuan licked his dry lips. Seeing the ugly face of the captain's lady on the stage, he couldn't help but rejoice... Fortunately, he is not the captain of this era.

Fortunately, the whole civilization is strong enough, otherwise it can't afford this expensive weapon.

The general ignored the experts in charge of state funds: "... Through long-term military exercises, we believe that the place of action of the fourth civilization is no longer limited to the cosmic string, but should avoid the cosmic string as much as possible, because if a war is fought near the cosmic string, high gravitational waves will destroy the curvature motion."

"If we lose the curvature of navigation, even if we are stronger than the third level civilization, it will become the difference between 50 steps and 100 steps... We don't need to be on the same starting line as the third level civilization."

Next, the cellular combat mode at the speed of sub light is displayed on the screen.

Due to the poor communication environment of the spacecraft in the superluminal state, the subluminal environmental war will become the mainstream war mode of the fourth level civilization.

A swarm of drones is like a flash of lightning, which wiped out the targets on the planet at once. Even, the "target defense system" has not responded at all.

Zhang Yuan was dazzled by all kinds of noisy differences and video display.

He doesn't know whether it's fierce or not. At least it looks good and funny. With his nerve reflex speed and visual field, it is impossible to observe the sub light speed spacecraft in the semi stealth state.

However, the problem is that the cost of "curvature" UAV is surprisingly high. It has to be equipped with quark energy chamber and curvature engine. Its production capacity is limited. Unlike traditional UAVs, it is a one-time consumable... It is almost the same as that of manned spacecraft. If you want to form a swarm, there are a lot of budget funds.

The last link is to show the latest weapons: electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons, nuclear weapons, lasers, ion cannons, etc. they are old toys, but they have been upgraded.

The latest toy is photon torpedo, which is an antimatter weapon and a special electromagnetic pulse bomb, which can specially destroy battlefield communication.

"People without foresight must have immediate worries!"

"We will not choose to invade others, but we should have the ability to defend ourselves... I hope these weapons can enable us to protect ourselves in future crises! Thank you! "

After the military representative finished his speech, there was a lot of applause.

Next, the civilizations of both sides began to discuss the future development direction. Most people still feel that they should go out and communicate with other civilizations.

If you continue to stay here and study slowly, you may make some progress, but it will certainly not advance by leaps and bounds as at the beginning. The technology that can be excavated is almost finished.

In addition, the six large motherships are about to be completed, and the latest curvature engines will be installed. After a while, they will be able to start test flights.

Therefore, after some discussion, people discussed their own goal - tabby star!

That's the Dyson ball!

This is the goal reached after long-term discussion.

Tabby, code named kic8462852, has been observed by humans for a long time.

In the 21st century, mankind has found a planet with periodic changes in luminous intensity. At that time, scientists were puzzled and thought that some celestial body periodically blocked the star.

But after long-term observation, people finally recognized it as a Dyson ball, and then recognized that there was a more powerful alien civilization in the universe, which triggered a great panic at that time!

In a word, this Dyson ball has a certain origin with the earth time program.

If this Dyson ball is not observed, people may still be addicted to the idea that "human beings are the only intelligent life in the universe". Just like the tribal chiefs on an isolated island, they are proud to rule the whole island

The discovery of Dyson ball had a great impact on mankind at that time. It first proved the existence of extraterrestrial life. Secondly... This is the difference between the sky and ants!

Whether it is panic or excitement, Dyson ball's discovery at this moment has had a far-reaching impact on the history of the whole human society.

Of course, up to now, people are no longer strange to alien civilization, but this is still the only Dyson ball found in the Milky way.

This is very mysterious and strange

According to the current human cognition, Dyson ball is really of no great use. It is just a large solar panel. It can collect all the energy of a star. It is really very powerful, but the fourth level civilization will not lack energy. Why do you do this? Even if there is a real lack of energy, we can build thousands of quark energy rooms instead of building a difficult Dyson ball.

That's strange.

It was not until later that there was a faint guess in people's hearts.

According to the star road map exchanged from the fourth civilization, it is a gathering place of a large number of interstellar civilizations, about 400 light-years away from the current location, and members of the amoeba faction set up a trading market there.

In other words, a planet with periodic brightness changes can naturally attract the attention of interstellar civilization. It has become the most important symbol of Orion cantilever, and most interstellar civilizations will be interested in it.

Combined with this kind of, human beings are still very willing to go to that place to explore the truth. By the way, they also want to invite the alliance of TOS civilization to go together. More allies are always more strength.

However, after thinking for a long time, the TOS rejected the plan: "unfortunately, friends of new human civilization, we are really interested in that Dyson ball. But we have just acquired visual perception. It will take a long time to popularize this technology to the whole civilization. "

"With optical perception, we collectively believe that the technology tree of our civilization is too incomplete. We need to adapt to this new perception ability and develop corresponding technologies of optical perception to adapt to the new era. Therefore, we also intend to continue to develop here for hundreds of years. "

"After that, we will choose to go there."

The choice of TOS civilization is also within people's expectations, because this defect is clearly found in the process of long-term contact. The other party's choice is quite reasonable.

With a new perception, we must first study its security, and then slowly popularize and adapt, and develop new adaptive technologies. Maybe all the existing machinery and equipment have to be modified, which is a large amount of work.

There is no need for human beings to wait for three or five hundred years. The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Most of the time, people still have to rely on themselves.

In this way, after the meeting, all the TOS boarded their ships and were ready to leave. Before leaving, people also presented some cheap technologies, such as LCD screen, foldable personal phone, clock, computer, VR glasses and so on. These technologies are very cheap but easy to use.

If the other party really adopts these things, they may have more common topics when they meet in the future.

Finally, the two sides bid farewell to each other.

"May your civilization progress forever..."

A standard interstellar etiquette.

The life who really knows the connotation of this set of etiquette will never despise it, and we all know its massiness.

As a representative of civilization, Zhang Yuan bent slightly: "I also hope your civilization can make progress all the time."

"Good bye, friends."

……

The TOS civilization started its own spacecraft and left, and the new human civilization will embark on a new journey

Target, tabby!
