Deep Space Fleet

Ye Junchang was silent for a while, "Captain, let's put aside the common sense of cosmology for the last question. Could everything be a lie fabricated by those Baditers to lure us into the past?"

Zhang Yuan replied: "99.99% probability, not a lie."

"Some of these data are extracted from the machines in the ruins. The Badit people have no chance to tamper with the data on a large scale. The other part is obtained from interrogation. At present, there is no way to directly read Badit There is no special memory, but using virtual world technology, there is no big problem in judging whether the truth is true or not."

"Comparing the two parts of data, we came to this conclusion..."

Ye Junchang nodded, saying that he had no doubts: "In that case, I agree to go to the trading market of Huantai Civilization."

Seeing the people who were still thinking, Zhang Yuan continued: "Everyone, don't think that it takes five or six hundred years, it sounds very long, even much longer than a person's lifespan, but interstellar navigation itself is like this... This is the time it takes us to use the gravitational acceleration of cosmic strings to greatly increase the speed of navigation. According to the speed of the earth era, it may even take five or six thousand years!

"However, if this goal is truly accomplished, it will be a great milestone in human history! Only in this way will we have real cosmic diplomacy."

With the approval of the first person, soon there will be the second person, and the third person...

Some people who maintained a cautious attitude have also begun to loosen their positions.

Every step that human beings take is not easy. In many cases, the so-called enemy may not necessarily be an alien civilization, but it may also be ourselves.

It is impossible to completely avoid risks. Even the Badit people know that the benefits are directly proportional to the risks, and everyone sitting here knows it well.

Just when Zhang Yuan announced that he was entering the voting session, someone suddenly stood up again.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I have another question." Another physicist raised his hand and said, "About the entire trading market, the best technology must be FTL communication technology and curvature navigation."

"In other words, all the third-level civilizations are eager for these two technologies. It's just because the price is extremely expensive, or for other reasons, there is no way to get them."

"But we have the technology of the sixth-level civilization in our hands. Whether it is a virtual space or a piece of high-dimensional fragments that cannot be cracked, can it be used for trading? We must consider whether there is such a possibility, and what needs to be done?" risk taken."

Hearing this inquiry, many scientists became agitated. They have to say that faster-than-light communication and curvature navigation are indeed technologies that human beings have dreamed of.

Using a high-dimensional fragment that cannot be deciphered for trading, it seems... there is a little possibility.

Even though the value of high-dimensional fragments may be greater, it is completely impossible for current humans to use them!

One of the scientists was discussing enthusiastically: "What is the principle of superluminal communication? Even if it is just point-to-point superluminal communication, it is important enough! Can we control such technology, or, with the help of this advanced civilization?" Engineering, to achieve faster-than-light communication?"

"...In this way, we can directly communicate with the base camp in the rear, point-to-point."

Communication, one of the most troublesome and important things in the universe, is like the war between humans and the Baditers. When the communication on the human side suffers a devastating blow, of course this battle cannot be fought.

This is true even for a spaceship, and it is even more so when it is enlarged to the entire universe.

For now, if the "Kunlun Mountain" wants to transmit information back to Gliese 581, or the earth, or Barnard's Star, it still can only rely on high-power electromagnetic wave communication, neither in terms of safety nor propagation speed. Meet the needs.

The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, compared to the huge universe, it is even slower than a snail! Especially the higher and higher transmission costs are a desperate figure for any low-level interstellar civilization. If you want to send a signal from one end of the galaxy to the other end of the galaxy, you have to consume the energy of a star. This energy level is simply not something that low-level interstellar civilizations can grasp.

Ordinary interstellar civilizations can only colonize a few nearby stars, and it is best for these few stars to be near the cosmic strings.

If the territory is too large, even communication is very difficult, and civilization will naturally disintegrate. Just like human beings, the Kunlun Mountains, the Earth civilization, the civilization where Gliese 581 is located, and the Golden Sun on Barnard Star are actually separated, and it is very difficult to communicate with each other. How can it be said that they are the same civilization? Woolen cloth?

But with FTL communication, there are endless possibilities!

For example, the amoeba civilization can develop countless subsidiary civilizations, form their own unique alliances, and exert more important influence in the galaxy.

In the Milky Way, there should not be too many factions like Amoeba. Faster-than-light communication is a necessary technology for such a large-scale alliance.

Faced with the physicist's question, Zhang Yuan shook his head, "The pan-galactic network system is a very famous project in the Milky Way. Basically, all interstellar civilizations who have been to the trading market will know it. That's why we exposed the fact that we are a rookie civilization... ...Well, I don't know if it is possible to use this network system to communicate with the base camp. As for the Badit people, don't have too high expectations..."

"As for trading with high-dimensional fragments, hurry up and study it now, and then think about it later. If it doesn't work, that's the only way to go. Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand."

"Anyway, we still have five or six hundred years before we can reach our destination. We don't even know the specific information of the trading market, so it doesn't make much sense to discuss it here."

In this way, after some discussions, after the meeting ended, mankind officially determined the first major goal of this voyage——

Huantai Civilization Trading Market!

Of course, human beings will not reach their destination in one go, and will choose a few interesting planets to stay for a while.

Traveling at 10% of the speed of light will cause great damage to the spacecraft body. It is necessary to regularly collect resources and maintain the hull.

In addition, the Badit people have already found out many routes, so why not do it?

...

Time passed very fast, with the occurrence of that catastrophe, ten years have passed...

In the past ten years, the Kunlun Mountains fleet has been heading towards the first small destination, and no special accidents have occurred.

The people hibernate when they should hibernate, and wake up when they should wake up.

I have to say that people are indeed very forgetful creatures. The passage of time has gradually healed the psychological trauma in people's hearts. The interior of Kunlun Mountain has returned to its previous peaceful state. So many.

This kind of forgetfulness has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, ordinary people have begun to regain the courage to explore the starry sky. After all, human beings have won a battle instead of losing it, and history is written by the winner after all.

On the other hand, former warriors are being gradually forgotten and recalled less and less often, even though the government has taken many measures.

However, this kind of forgetting is still an unchangeable trend...
