Epoch of Twilight

After four-dimensionalization, the most essential change of Luo Yuan is not strength or thinking speed, but thinking mode.

If the former two are only quantitative changes, the latter is a qualitative change.

Generally speaking, ordinary people think about a problem mostly based on linearity.

It's like building a road, honestly built from one end to the other, step by step, it has a starting point and an end point, there is no jump in the middle, but Luo Yuan's thinking problem is multi-threaded, it is like Sectional construction, a highway is divided into thousands of sections, tens of thousands of sections, and construction at the same time. Even while this road was being built, there were hundreds of thousands of other roads under construction at the same time.

Most of the countless calculations that are going on in his mind all the time are instinctive, subconscious, and even many are meaningless.

According to the complexity of information processing, it can be as small as the subsequent changes caused by his movements to the airflow in the space city, or as large as the impact of the shattering of a piece of ice on the distant planet No. 4 on the planet.

This is a four-dimensional creature's ability to fully control information, allowing him to have countless information stuffed into his brain and processed instantly,

Efficient calculations often make the final decision before the emotions can be reacted. Of course, this decision may not be the best, and most of them are indifferent and unreasonable, but they are the most effective and most beneficial to themselves. .

"I have become increasingly unable to integrate into human society."

Luo Yuan sighed imperceptibly, and turned away some troubles.

...

Ten light-years away, twelve huge interstellar spaceships gathered into a circular array, flying along the curvature of the road, marching mightily towards a certain star system.

Dense photons piled up in a thick layer in front of the spaceship, making it emit a dazzling light. Wherever the fleet passed, circles of space waves spread towards the universe, unscrupulously announcing their arrival.

The spaceships of the fleet are quite different from the first Bositian spaceship that went to Earth.

Not only is it larger, but its shape is no longer a perfect disc. It is like sharp triangular cones, with an extremely smooth and smooth surface, full of strong engineering beauty.

Flying faster than the speed of light and sublight speed are two completely different concepts! Sublight speed flight only needs to consider the collision of meteorites, and rarely worry about light pressure. The spaceship does not need to consider flight dynamics, or the shape does not have too much influence on it, while the curvature of superluminal flight does not need to consider meteorite collisions, but light The pressure has risen to the main problem.

In fact, flying faster than the speed of light is similar to flying in the atmosphere to a certain extent. When the speed exceeds the speed of light, the pressure of light increases exponentially, and the intense collision between photons and the surface of the spacecraft seriously tests the stability of the spacecraft. and heat resistance.

This also causes the shape of the spaceship of the Bositians to be closer to the aircraft in the atmosphere, and the shape is more smooth, so as to weaken the light pressure.

To some extent, this can be regarded as another kind of return to the source.

...

In the war command center of one of the slightly larger spaceships, a meeting is being held.

On the huge three-dimensional screen, a complete star system is slowly rotating. If humans are here, they will find that this is the Barnard star system where humans are located.

"According to the calculation of the brain, with the long-distance travel capabilities of the first-generation interstellar spacecraft, the probability of human beings landing in this star system is 99%. And if necessary, we can activate the positioning system again." A short man The Boxing people said with a relaxed face:

"Those natives thought that with our spaceship, they could escape our pursuit. They probably never thought that there was a secret positioning system inside the spaceship. Even the spaceship designer didn't know these locations, maybe in some inconspicuous place. The corner, the mezzanine of a fusion furnace, maybe even embedded in the interior of the ship's armor."

The relaxed and sarcastic tone made all the Boxing people in the meeting burst into laughter.

"Maybe, when we arrive, they will still be at a loss, but unfortunately they will never escape this time." Another Bosingian said with a smile: "Unfortunately, the order this time is to completely wipe out all human beings, so that no one is left, otherwise If so, you can take a batch of them prisoner.”

As the threat level of human beings to the Boxing people has risen sharply, the specification of this war has also reached its peak. The Boxing people gathered all the second-generation interstellar warships and used all their strength to completely destroy human beings.

Everyone felt that this time it was sure to be sure, there would be no surprises, and it was impossible for them to happen.

As a result, the atmosphere at the meeting was fairly relaxed, and no one felt that the expedition was at any risk.

But the Bosingian who sat at the top didn't smile. He looked a little old, and he was dressed in a gorgeous ritual attire, which set him off and stood out from the crowd.

He frowned tightly. As the commander this time, the number two figure in the Boxing army, for some reason, he has been feeling uneasy since he stepped into the journey.

He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and has a keen intuition for danger, and it is this intuition that made his official career smooth, from an ordinary soldier with no family background all the way to the second position.

At this time, he looked at his colleagues who were still relaxed, and felt anxious in his heart. He felt that he had to say something to make everyone more vigilant.

"Don't be careless, never underestimate an intelligent race."

As soon as he spoke, all the laughter died down immediately, so listen carefully to what he said.

"This race is the same as ours, it is a highly intelligent race, the only difference is that we are one step ahead, and according to the Academy of Sciences' prediction, after getting our first-generation interstellar spaceship, there will be a big explosion in their technology, and they will fully learn from it. Absorb our technology and close the gap between each other.

In ten years, our winning rate will be 99.9. After twenty years, the winning rate will drop to 95%. After fifty years, only 30% will be left. Of course, this is because they maintain a roughly complete scientific research system. Under the circumstances, the actual situation may be better, but we must not underestimate the enemy.

Defense in place is always easier than attacking an interstellar expedition, and this advantage will greatly smooth out the gap in technology.

What's more, let's not forget one thing, why a complete spaceship fell into the hands of the natives..."

As soon as these words came out, all the Boxing people trembled in their hearts, and the relaxed expression on their faces disappeared immediately, and turned solemn. This is an unsolved mystery, full of heavy fog, and it still has no logical explanation.

Based on the scientific and technological development report of this race sent by the first-generation spaceship at that time, the entire race has only initially possessed the ability to fly in near space, and it is far from leaving the parent star. How did they obtain the spaceship?

Why didn't the spaceship fight back then?

And just a few years later, launch the spaceship to escape!

This shows that the spaceship is not seriously damaged, and there seems to be a mysterious force involved in it.

It is a pity that the distance was too far at that time, and the message from the spacecraft could not be transmitted in real time, which led to this catastrophic event, which was shrouded in thick fog and veiled with mystery.

"So we have to be prepared for war, which is most likely not an easy journey, this is a war, a war between two civilized races.

And this is the last chance. Once we fail again, we will no longer be able to erase this hidden danger. The longer the time drags on, the more perfect the opponent's defense arrangement will be, and the closer the technological gap with ours will be, the smaller our advantage will be. . "
