Black technology: starting with space jump machine

"Build a super factory of lizard civilization in the Kuiper belt, and use the data of unmanned warships guarding the Dyson sphere in the database of the fourth-level civilization. Using the materials in the Kuiper belt, we can quickly build a batch of space fleets!"

"Combined with virtual reality technology and the cross-space communication system of the Silver Star, those unmanned warships will be our main force to resist this fleet. We don't need to fill a large number of combat personnel. For them, this will be just a virtual reality game."

This is the most ideal picture, but there are still many technical bottlenecks that need to be broken through. China has just completed the second phase of the lunar base project, and now it needs to jump to the Kuiper belt to carry out engineering work... The difficulty can be imagined.

"Our No. 1 test engine has begun to be assembled. If everything goes well, the spacecraft equipped with the No. 1 engine can gradually increase its speed to 1% of the speed of light, or even higher, in the space environment." (Note 1)

"The Kuiper Belt is nearly 40 astronomical distances away from the sun. If we travel at 1% of the speed of light and launch at a suitable relative position, we only need about 550 hours."

"But in fact, considering the acceleration, deceleration and route issues of the spacecraft, the actual time required may be as long as 600 hours or more."

"Secondly, we must consider that there are huge risks in long-distance round trips with immature technology. We will first establish a forward base in the asteroid belt, which will also be the second line of defense for the blue planet."

This defense system plan actually had a plan long before this crisis. China was originally going to officially start building a stellar defense system after the No. 1 engine was installed, but it was unexpected that the arrival of an accident forced the plan to accelerate construction.

After the [Space Great Wall Plan], the second plan [Spark Plan] appeared in front of the participants.

In the next five years, Base Zero will focus on the research and development of light-speed engines. It does not seek to develop light-speed spacecraft, but at least to improve the speed of space travel to a higher level.

This is not to escape from the solar system, but to prepare a fire-seeding spacecraft for countless sperm and eggs. Base Zero will gradually launch spacecraft carrying human genes into deep space. After transmitting the launch-related parameters to Lu Yu, these data will be erased from all records of the solar system.

If... human civilization really perishes because of this fleet, then they will be the last fire of mankind, and when Lu Yu returns to the solar system one day, he can use these data and space jumps to salvage the fire of mankind.

As long as these fires can be rekindled in the space of the Silver Star, human civilization will not be considered to have perished in the universe!

The fire will not be extinguished, and the inheritance will continue. This is the [Fire Seed Plan].

Both the [Space Great Wall Plan] and the [Fire Seed Plan] are to prevent the worst from happening. Perhaps this fleet really comes with [goodwill]?

It's just that everyone knows that we must not take chances when it comes to the survival of civilization, so the deduction of the Dark Forest is at least logically self-consistent!

The two major plans in front of us are only contingency plans now. After passing the vote of Base Zero, there is still a long way to go before they can be implemented.

But at the moment of choice, everyone voted in favor.

There is no surrender here. All experts and professors stood up at the moment of voting. They are extremely confident. This is the confidence given to everyone by the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the past five years.

"Humanity will win!"

"Blue Star will win!"

"Aliens who dare to invade the solar system will eventually become the nourishment of human civilization!"

The voting result - unanimous approval.

Although fifteen years is a short time for the universe and the life of celestial bodies, for Base Zero, which has already created a miracle, fifteen years is enough for everyone to create a bigger miracle.

Yes!

The scientific and technological achievements that were originally thought to be sealed for half a century can now be practiced outside Blue Star without any taboos.

The research on weapons that were originally too powerful and could destroy the Blue Planet as long as they occupied the near-Earth orbit was restarted.

One by one, the technologies finally no longer have to wait for time to wake them up in the database of Base Zero. In the near future, the aircraft they will carry will head towards the asteroid belt.

Perhaps in the future, astronomy enthusiasts on the Blue Planet will find that the solar system will be full of the light of high-power engines, which will be more dazzling than the distant stars!

After the two major plans were voted on, they naturally entered the next process.

The meeting hall was so busy that everyone who had rarely gathered together did not leave in a hurry. Everyone realized that the next fifteen years might be a day of rapid change.

"The political ecology of the Blue Planet is no longer suitable for the changes in the situation in the future. The Federation"

"How to detect the movement trajectory of the light-speed spacecraft, we may be able to..."

"It is impossible for the preliminary work of the forward base to be completely automated? I may be able to go..."

After the meeting, without the constraints of the venue discipline, the discussion became louder.

Professor Mao, who was presiding over the meeting, sat in a corner and looked at his colleagues with a smile, as if he had returned to the time when Base Zero was just established, and everyone was discussing fiercely how to save Lu Yu who had jumped to Mars through space.

"I said why can't I find you?"

Professor Han popped up beside him: "Why are you hiding here? Everyone is looking for you! When did you resign as the general manager of Base Zero? What's going on?"

Professor Mao waved his hand: "The resignation process started before the meeting started."

"Everything is on the right track at Base Zero, so I'll recommend myself. I'm going to be the person in charge of the Forward Base, and I'll be with the first batch of spacecraft to the asteroid belt to start construction."

Professor Han was shocked by the news for a while: "Are you crazy? You're almost eighty years old, right?"

Professor Mao touched his hair, which had turned black, and his hands were free of wrinkles and age spots: "I think I can live another hundred years."

"Don't forget! I'm an old spaceflighter! I've long wanted to experience the feeling of stepping into the starry sky, and it's time for me to fulfill the little wish hidden in my heart for many years."

"...."

Professor Han was silent. There were so many people vying for the position of the person in charge of Base Zero, and his old friend resigned just because he said so. He also deeply understood that his old friend wanted to set an example.

In the near future, after the two plans are fully passed, there will inevitably be a large number of scientists missing on the front line. With the former person in charge of Base Zero taking the lead, many people will have a role model to follow.

A great civilization is supported by such great individuals.

"Humanity will win!"

"Blue Planet will win!"

The slogan just called out echoed in Professor Han's chest again, this time more passionately and more sincerely.

This burning feeling flows through his heart, and he will also bid farewell to the comfortable Base Zero and go to the deep space to see this universe.
