Space station Qi Xing.

As usual, field and his colleagues are following instructions from the North American space agency to peek at the Pan Asian cooperation site in geosynchronous orbit.

To be exact, this may not be a peep, but a positive observation.

At first, field was still converging. He just scanned the astronomical observation mirror from the base site of the Tianting space station on a regular basis. Later, it may be that the engineers of East Asia heavy industry didn't care about their small actions, so they simply stopped the camera there.

As a result, the space station qixingxing officially evolved from an astronomical observation station to a "spy satellite" nominally for civilian use.

"They look like this It doesn't seem to care if we peek at their technology at all, "Johnny said with some emotion as he looked out of the side window at the construction site." to be honest, I have some doubts now about whether our task is meaningful or not. "

as like as two peas, the engineers of Pan Asian cooperation believe that even if they put the blueprint before them, they will not be able to create the same exact same.

If so, what's the point of taking photos of their whole construction process?

"The point is that if one day we master the key materials and engineering technologies, we won't be too far away from them." Looking out of the window, field's face was full of deep melancholy, and he said anxiously, "but their construction speed is really incredible According to the current schedule and construction speed, if they can keep it up, they can complete the main part of the whole space station by the end of the year. "

When this sentence was said, the two men fell into silence and caught a trace of envy when they looked out of the window.

If only such a great scholar could be born in their hometown.

Although objectively speaking, the space elevator under construction is not a miracle of a person, but everything is due to him.

And the foundation of this tower, the reason why it can stand on the synchronous track in the early 22nd century, is also because of his awakening

Just when they fell into reverie, a silver star ship suddenly appeared in their sight.

At first, when he saw the starship, field was a little shocked, and didn't recognize it for a while.

It was not until he quickly stepped back to the observation system and focused his eyes on the holographic screen that he suddenly recognized its body.

Cruiser Qinling!

Equipped with the latest nuclear power plant and fire control system, it is one of the most powerful main ships launched by the first Pan Asian fleet in the past decade.

"Qinling How did they get the cruiser into synchro orbit? "

Obviously, his colleague Johnny also recognized the name of the starship, and he was almost surprised in his eyes.

More than that, they were surprised to see two heavy engineering ships leaving the base of the Tianting space station and approaching the cruiser.

Realizing what a big move Pan Asian cooperation might be, field made a decision immediately after thinking for a moment.

"Aim the observation system at the past!"

"But What about the space elevator? " Johnny hesitated and continued, "the Mission NASA assigned to us does not include observing the military movements of the first Pan Asian fleet."

"The two engineering ships were separated from the construction site of the space elevator, and it's not sure whether the cruiser is related to the space elevator project or not," continued field, with a trace of gravity in his brow. "If the above blame, I will take all the responsibility!"

"Now, do what I say!"

……

“…… It's definitely the strangest task I've ever had in ten years. "

Looking at the Task Briefing presented in front of him, although there was no change in captain Deng Yuanshu's face, his stomach was full of questions.

Cooperate with Academician Lu in the experiment

What kind of experiment is needed to cooperate with the most advanced cruiser of Pan Asian cooperation.

Shouldn't they go to imcrc for help?

"I remember exactly He's a mathematician, "said the adjutant standing next to him, with an expression of obvious confusion on his face." can't you He's starting to study weapons? "

"I don't know. The briefing didn't elaborate on what the experiment was."

Index finger in the air virtual point, Deng Yuanshu put away the mission briefing, continued.

"Anyway, we'll know when we see him."

With the docking of two engineering ships and Qinling, Captain Deng, standing in the bridge, finally met the man called the greatest scholar of the 21st century.

Actively extended his right hand, Deng Yuanshu made a routine self introduction to him."Hello, academician Lu. I'm the captain of Qinling, the first Pan Asian fleet. This is my adjutant Liu Zhengyi. According to the order of the superior, we will assist you to complete the experiment content in this operation. "

The Deputy Liu, with a smile on his face, extended his right hand and shook the boat with the captain.

"Hello!"

"Nice to meet you!"

He smiled and nodded to the two men. After a simple handshake and exchange of greetings, Lu Zhou slightly straightened his face without wasting time. He went straight to the point and explained his intention and the most important experiment content.

After hearing the part about hyperspace theory told by the land boat, Captain Deng spent a lot of time to figure out what the whole experiment was about.

In short, in order to test the disturbance of Z particle oscillation device to the space curvature, a movable nuclear fusion reactor is needed for the land boat.

Among the many types of ships in the first Pan Asian fleet, the only one that meets the standard, except for the space carrier, is the cruiser equipped with the standard controllable fusion reactor of the aircraft carrier, which can meet the minimum standard of starting the z-particle concussion device.

To be honest, although he is very interested in the hyperspace navigation of the land boat and Deng Yuanshu is willing to obey the order and cooperate with the experiment, the only thing that makes him a little difficult to accept is that the land boat and East Asia heavy industry need to make a substantial modification of his "love ship".

He has been serving on this starship for some years. It's like home for him

"Refit this I hope you will think about it carefully again, "said Liu, looking at the boat and standing next to the captain in a serious tone." it's not a big change for Qinling to dismantle the weapon system and external armor. It's equivalent to turning our cruiser into a large cargo ship! Even if it is reinstalled after the experiment, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Can you understand what I mean? "

The ship nodded and said, "I can understand, but this experiment is very important. It is far more important than a star ship Even the whole fleet is much more important. "

"But why do you have to take down the equipment?" Looking at the ship, Captain Deng asked, "especially for the external armor, many parts adopt integral welding technology, which is not only difficult to dismantle, but also difficult to re install, and will cause damage to the material itself that is difficult to repair. Can't we take down the weapon system and keep this part? "

"Sorry, I'm afraid not," Lu zhoushook his head and revealed, "hyperspace passage has a very strict restriction on the passing quality. Unless equipped with a larger power system, it's very difficult to pass through the open hyperspace passage with the current tonnage of Qinling cruiser."

There's one more thing the boat didn't say.

It's not a hope to pass through hyperspace channels with super standard quality, but it may have unpredictable consequences.

Because this is beyond the boundary of calculation, the result can hardly be predicted by mathematical calculation. If

is happy, it probably won't go in at all. It will pass through the surface of a door like a bubble, or enter it successfully, and then jump out of a random position.

And if things are not good

At last, it is unknown whether we can come out, how much we have gone in and how much we have left.

Captain Deng: " How sure are you about the experiment? "

"It's meaningless to ask this question," Lu said, shaking his head. "I believe in my calculation. If it's not 100% sure, I won't stand here. The question now is whether you believe me as much as I believe in my research. "

Hearing this, Captain Deng fell silent.

After about five minutes, he looked up at the boat and said in a serious voice, as if he had made a major decision in his heart.

"I've often heard that you are the greatest scholar on the planet. I believe that this greatness describes not only your wisdom, but also your preciseness in science."

"Thank you for your trust," Lu said softly. "I can assure you that I will not fail this trust."

When he heard the promise, Captain Deng nodded slightly.

With his back to the surprised sight of the officers beside him, he said solemnly.

"In that case."

"Our Qinling, please!"
