Road to science and technology

The administrator of Yorktown Star Station certainly knew about the Enterprise turning into dust this time. After all, Spock, an upright Vulcan, was there.

But she didn't care at all.

The interstellar federation's wealth is one aspect. On the other hand, the Chief Executive focused all his attention on the Neutron Battle Star.

Paris was concerned about another issue, so he asked: "Kirk, since you came here on the neutron star, do you know how they opened up the operating space in the neutron?"

Kirk spread his hands to Paris and said nothing.

"It's really unimaginable..." Paris muttered, resting his chin and not knowing what to think.

"Paris, don't think too much. The issue of how to create space in a neutron star is a matter for scientists. In fact... we first came into contact with this neutron star a year ago, well... we didn't know it was called a neutron star at the time. Zi Zhanxing, the Federal Academy of Sciences has already started such discussions since then." The chief executive said habitually while making gestures,

"However, there are no convincing results. During the demonstration, the Federal Academy of Sciences could not even find a material that could theoretically withstand the internal pressure of a neutron star, let alone study the power, weapons, etc. of this neutron star. Problem. But they’re right about one thing, the neutron star itself is a weapon.”

When the chief executive said this, he turned to look at Kirk and asked, "Kirk, they didn't come together?"

"No, sir." Kirk shook his head and said, "As you can see, the Neutron Battle Star disappeared after rescuing us. But I don't think they went far, although I couldn't find them and I don't know. What do they want to do.”

Kirk paused and took two steps in the technology-rich office. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "But there is someone from another universe who is always here."

"oh?"

"Diana, a metahuman from another universe."

"Khan type?" asked the chief executive.

Kirk said: "It is not comparable to the enhanced people like Khan. Just like the cloud we saw on Nibiru, she can break the sound barrier with her own strength. By the way...she is now the Enterprise secretary."

The administrator nodded, she understood what Kirk meant. She then pulled up Diana's identity information, only to find that there was no problem in the Starlink program.

What doesn't she understand now?

Combined with Kirk's experience a year ago, it is obvious that this Diana was specially placed next to Kirk by the Shenzhou civilization. The purpose seems to be the same as the Neutron Battle Star, to protect Kirk.

One light and one dark.

But why, the chief executive couldn't figure it out, so he had to regard it as an incomprehensible way of high-level civilized behavior.

Since it is to protect Kirk, then...

The administrator thought of the application he had submitted to the Federation for Kirk's promotion to the commander of York Star Station.

If Kirk doesn't go out and explore, there's no protection.

So she said: "Kirk, regarding the commander of the Yorktown Star Station, the application from the council has been approved, and now we need your decision."

"I want to fly." Kirk said concisely.

"Ok, I knew it." The chief executive smiled and said, not surprised.

Regardless of Kirk's choice, although he cannot test the purpose of the Shenzhou civilization, the other party is such a powerful being and has a good relationship with the Star Alliance, so there is no need to cause trouble.

Since the other party is following Kirk, he will know it later.

The only troublesome thing is that this Shenzhou civilization seems to be very unfriendly to aliens, and its interference with indigenous aliens is also unprincipled.

From Kirk's description, the Chief Executive learned these things.

"By the way, sir, there's something I want you to confirm."

After seeing the chief executive's approval, Kirk said: "About the Franklin and its captain Balthasay Addison."

The chief executive was silent for a moment, then opened the holographic display to retrieve relevant information.

"That was last century. The Franklin was built in the middle of the 22nd century. It was the first starship that could reach warp speed 4. It was commanded by Captain Balthasay Edison, but in 2160 Gagarin The radiation belt is missing.”

Kirk also leaned over to take a look and said clearly: "That's right. The Shenzhou civilization told me that the bee ships that attacked us were the work of Addison. And the bee ship swarm is the ancient civilization that has left. It’s a mining device.”

Kirk said it naturally. Anyway, this is not the first time that the Enterprise has been defeated by a mining ship.

The administrator clarified his thoughts and said: "In other words, the Franklin disappeared because it traveled through a wormhole and arrived at Ultramede. You should write this matter in the mission briefing. I think the council would be happy to hear that the Franklin disappeared. News about starships from over a hundred years ago.”

The chief executive secretly thought: Addison is still alive after more than a hundred years, which means they should have discovered some kind of technology on that planet that can extend life. Unfortunately, the planet is gone now.

At this time, Spock suddenly said: "Ambassador Spock has been in contact with the Shenzhou civilization."

He now finally understood the meaning of the words that old Spock left for him.

"We have also been in contact," Kirk naturally didn't know what Spock was thinking. He pulled up his cheek and spread his hands.

Not only have I been in contact with him, but I am still under their radar.

Kirk was helpless. It felt bad to be watched, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Shortly after Kirk reported the situation, the Interstellar Federation held another high-level meeting.

This meeting is special because it will discuss things about neutron battle stars and another universe.

Assess the risk and possible exposure scenarios.

It has to be said that even though the Interstellar Federation has some hard-line military factions, overall it still takes peace as its main policy.

We have also maintained an optimistic attitude towards contact with other civilizations.

During the meeting, they even came up with some backup plans. For example, when discussing the attitude of the Shenzhou civilization towards aliens, some people in the Star Alliance even suggested that if there is real contact by then, they should actively use the Star Alliance's policies towards aliens to influence the Shenzhou civilization.

There are also some people who are interested in another universe and are trying to push some bills to prepare for the possibility of going to other universes in the future.

This is of course fanciful, but it is worth mentioning that because of the written language used by the Shenzhou civilization, there has been an archaeological craze within the Star Alliance.

Their destinations are all in the east of the Earth where the Star Alliance is located. These people believe that the Shenzhou civilization should be a country in a parallel universe that rules the universe. They want to understand the unknown Shenzhou civilization by studying the culture there.

But that's not easy. The Interstellar Federation was established after World War III, and many things, including traditional culture, have been lost in the long history of nuclear war.
