Epoch of Twilight

In the outer space of the earth, a large factory area is under intense construction. The factory area is basically a splicing of modules, which are easy to disassemble and install, and most of the components are relocated from the original Barnard Space City, so only two For more than a month, this factory area has looked spectacular, stretching tens of thousands of square kilometers, even ordinary people can see this man-made celestial body a million kilometers away from the earth with their naked eyes.

Compared with factories built on the surface of planets, space factories undoubtedly have incomparable advantages, especially for some large-scale giant machinery and high-sensitivity and high-precision instruments, the natural dust-free and gravity-free areas in space, It can often reduce many troubles and greatly reduce the difficulty of technical implementation.

Even if humans have returned to the earth now, the most important industrial areas of humans will still be arranged in space, while the earth may only leave some light industries and various research institutions.

...

It has only been two months since they migrated here, and humans are still temporarily living in the miniature universe.

Luo Yuan walked through the space passage, and a teleportation appeared in his mansion. He took out the energy core, and suddenly, the whole hall was filled with a psychedelic twilight. This layer of twilight even penetrated the walls and spread throughout the space city. The concentration of active energy in the air has increased hundreds of times.

Of course, this is due to the low activity energy of the miniature universe, and on the other hand, the energy emitted by this energy core is quite amazing.

It was the size of an adult's fist, and it was the largest one Luo Yuan had obtained.

If the size of the first energy core is one and the size of the second is two, then the size of the second one is ten.

They are both space behemoths, but their strengths vary widely.

Back then, the first space behemoth that Luo Yuan killed was only due to the gravitational force of the earth, making it staggering and struggling. The second one was only active in space and on the moon, but this one could travel deep in Jupiter. They can move around freely, no matter in size or strength, there is a huge gap.

Luo Yuan concentrated his mind and tried to crack the energy core again, but soon gave up helplessly. This crystal core seems to be a pure energy body composed of extremely tiny leptons. With the strength of neutrons he can only control , let alone copying, even if it cracks the principle of its operation, it is several orders of magnitude worse.

At least for a long period of time, neither Luo Yuan nor humans can artificially manufacture items of this level.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, and he was not disappointed at all. Immediately, he sent out a mental wave.

"Director Dong, come here!"

"Chief, what are your orders?" Soon the head of the security regiment trotted over. He stood far away from the door with his head bowed and said loudly.

He could feel a strange radiance in the hall. Under this radiance, his whole body seemed to have a thirst from the bottom of his heart, just like the young shoots in early spring sprouting and growing in the sun, stretching their branches and leaves, and his heart was about to move.

But he didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't dare to doubt. Facing this god-like leader, no matter how unimaginable things happened, he would not feel strange, it was just a matter of course.

"Send this thing to the wisdom tree planting base, and they will take care of it!"

This radiant energy core slowly flew towards him, he stretched out his hands, just as he took it, the next moment, he felt a surge of heat rushing into his body along his hands, and in an instant, his whole body turned red As if on fire, his muscles were trembling violently, his veins were protruding, his body seemed to be burning with raging fire, his internal organs seemed to be on the verge of being burned. No change, clenched gums, collected himself, and said loudly: "Yes, chief! What else do you want!"

"No more, go get busy!" Luo Yuan glanced at him, and found that he was not in any danger, but his vitality was getting stronger, so he responded.

After the head of the guard regiment left the door, he walked quickly all the way. He finally couldn't hold on until he was tens of meters away. He knelt down on the ground with a "bang", panting violently, drooling from his mouth, and smoke all over his body Winding, exuding high temperature.

But as the anxiety in his body gradually faded away, the fear in his eyes gradually turned into joy. He could feel the beating of his heart, and the surge of power seemed to grow from his body, and his whole body seemed to be A new look, a feeling of indescribable pleasure.

He secretly clenched his fists, his joints creaked, and an unspeakable excitement rose in his heart.

"This power!" he groaned inwardly.

Seeing the mysterious luminous object rolled to the ground, he quickly picked it up again and held his hands tightly. At this moment, in his eyes, this object has become a fetish.

He didn't dare to ignore such a hot thing, and he didn't dare to delay Luo Yuan's order at all, but at least during the period of sending it to the Wisdom Tree Planting Base, this fetish belonged to him, and it might be sent to the planting base. Sometimes, the speed can be a little slower.

...

Not to mention the careful thinking of the head of the security regiment, Luo Yuan turned on his brain and read a few messages sent by high-level government officials. He swept most of them, and only one of them, about the project application for the construction of a Dyson sphere, caught Luo Yuan's attention. one time.

The Dyson sphere of the Boxing people has left a deep impression on him so far, and he is deeply shocked. This is a miraculous project, like an accelerator for the development of civilization. Once completed, it will undoubtedly be a transformation of human civilization.

This means that the energy available to human beings will never be exhausted, at least within the millennium of human's expected development, there will be no need to consider the issue of energy. As for the present, even only one billionth of the sun's energy is needed to be used by human beings.

With the current level of human science and technology, the Dyson ball is not very difficult, and there are references to the Dyson ball technology of the Boxing people. With reference to each other, the human implementation plan will undoubtedly be more perfect and mature.

This is not about the merits of the present and the future, but the current construction and current benefits.

But in fact, human beings have been arguing about the Dyson sphere for decades. It is like a double-edged sword, which brings benefits to human beings and is also prone to crisis.

In the universe, every star is like a lighthouse in the dark, a source of signal transmission. Take the extraterrestrial intelligence department of human beings as an example. Its main job is to constantly monitor the situation of the star systems around the earth and explore possible civilizations nearby.

If humans rashly weaken or even block this signal transmission source, it is tantamount to telling the extraterrestrial civilization that there is a problem here!

This kind of debate did not finally subside until the application of space wave detection, and this project application itself is the result of this unification of opinions.

Through several years of real-time reconnaissance of the Boxing people, everyone has discovered a reality, whether there is a Dyson sphere or not, for a technological civilization like human beings, as long as you have frequent activities in the star system and want to avoid humans Such a civilized investigation is almost impossible.

With the solar system as the center, there are 963 star systems within 100 light-years. If each star is continuously detected by space waves for three days, it will only take ten years to detect all the stars within 100 light-years.

This is only the result of one space wave detector. If there are five, ten times, the detection time will be shortened rapidly.

As for nearby civilizations that are more advanced than humans, perhaps they have already been in their sights since the beginning of human spaceships operating in this solar system.

After Luo Yuan replied agreeing, his figure flashed and he entered his private miniature universe. He was going to experiment with his ideas.

He took out the black ball containing the space behemoth, looked at the "behemoth" carefully through the four-dimensional vision through the space ball, half an hour had passed, and it still didn't seem to have recovered at all, like a dead fish Generally, they float motionless in the liquid hydrogen, their whole body is dull and dying, and they no longer have the spirit of struggling desperately before.

"It seems that the energy core is indeed very important to the space behemoth. Taking this away is equivalent to killing half of his life." Luo Yuan thought to himself, but this was also within his expectation, but the recovery speed is really fast. A little slow.

He didn't capture this giant beast as a pet, but to continuously obtain energy crystal nuclei. Luo Yuan was not satisfied with such a recovery speed.

"It seems that some unconventional means must be used!"
