Voyage of the Stars

And with the current productivity of mankind, it is entirely possible to build other star-class warships while starting to build a new flagship.

As for the start time, it will have to wait until other technologies are mature. Real shields and tachyon weapons are definitely standard configurations.

However, the development of technology is always full of accidents. The technology that humans want to realize as soon as possible has not been realized, and other technologies that were not originally the focus of development have appeared first.

For example, the repulsive field technology.

Originally, it was just one of the branches of the force field research direction under the framework of the universal theory, but it was unexpectedly made by humans first. It was discovered when studying the mutual repulsion process between negative matter and matter.

The emergence of this technology allows human new warships to be directly suspended in the planetary environment like anti-gravity.

If a spacecraft equipped with this technology sails in a planetary environment, then its performance is the same as having an anti-gravity device, and it can use the repulsive field to fly freely in the planetary environment without the assistance of any tail spray device.

If this technology is viewed from the perspective of gravity, it is actually the anti-gravity technology that often appears in science fiction movies.

Yes, anti-gravity technology just appeared naturally. As a derivative technology, humans didn't even deliberately study it.

This technology sounds very high-end, but it's just like that for humans now, because even if it is installed on a spacecraft, it is not often used. After all, large human warships rarely land on planets.

Small ships are more useful, especially small exploration ships that often need to land and detect.

Of course, planetary and stellar ships will not be installed because of this. It will always be useful.

For example, if the new flagship is equipped with an anti-gravity system, it can have more flexible maneuverability when approaching a large mass celestial body, because it can adjust the repulsive field to allow itself to quickly and flexibly maneuver in the gravitational potential well of a large mass celestial body.

In fact, whether it is quark material, planetary warp engine, or anti-gravity technology, they are all force field-related technologies, and they are all things that can only appear on the basis of the universal theory.

Humans believe that real shields and tachyon weapons will be realized soon.

Humans have just stepped onto the fifth-level civilization, and they still need time to accumulate and slowly realize derivative technologies.

Time slowly passes in hard work, year after year.

A few years later, Yue Yuan did not wait for the news of the successful development of real shields and tachyon weapons, but the fourth-generation warp technology was first improved, and it was said that it could be used for physical experiments. At the same time, humans also built a negative matter production factory from scratch in this starry sky, which was used as the fourth-generation warp negative energy fuel.

Positive energy continues to use antimatter, and the 100% mass-energy conversion rate makes it not outdated even at the fifth-level civilization, and it is still the best source of high-power positive energy.

Any creation must undergo many tests before it is put into large-scale use, and the same is true for the fourth-generation warp engine of mankind.

And because the fourth-generation warp engine is also called the planetary warp engine, when choosing the experimental content, engineers naturally turn their attention to planets.

Under normal circumstances, they should go to a nearby star system to find a planet to try, but after learning that a wandering planet was heading towards the area where their Star Alliance fleet was located, the engineers unanimously decided that the target of the test voyage would be the wandering planet.

In their words: Anyway, the sulfur-based civilization whose name is unknown is also going to the front star system, and using their planet for the test voyage experiment can be regarded as sending them to their destination.

Doing good things belongs to it.

Yue Yuan agreed to this proposal immediately.

"Tell the investigation team to remove their disguise." After agreeing to this plan, Yue Yuan directly told the personnel who were investigating on the wandering planet.

After all, it is someone else's home planet, so you have to say hello anyway, and this approach is actually helping the sulfur-based civilization. It is natural to ask them to send a sample of their biosphere at that time.

After these years of investigation, the civilization on the wandering planet has been confirmed to be a sulfur-based civilization, but the level of civilization is not the second-level civilization that humans thought at the beginning, but between the first and second levels.

This sulfur-based civilization has mastered controlled nuclear fusion and advanced heavy nuclear fusion, but has not mastered cold nuclear fusion.

This was discovered by the human expedition team when the sulfur-based civilization occasionally opened the entrance to the underground base and sent micro-nano robots into the sulfur-based civilization underground base to collect intelligence. Of course, they also know the form of those sulfur-based life forms.

It is a life form with short legs and long arms. Their heads are very disgusting and ugly in the eyes of humans. They are not tall but very large, just like a large water tank with hands and feet.

The epidermis of individual life forms of sulfur-based civilization is dark purple, the skin is very rough, and it looks like a stone skin full of cracks. What they eat is sulfide.

They are omnivorous animals. They eat both sulfur-based plants on their planet and animals of the same sulfur-based group. Sulfide mines are also one of their food sources.

In the past few years of secret observation, humans have seen them come out of the underground base, and then brave the ice and snow, driving vehicles to the mines to dig, and some minerals dug out are transported back by them and processed into food ingredients and the like.

Absolutely explosive alien exotic scenery, human experience +1.

Their living environment and the animals on the planet give people a feeling of monsters and demons. Some animals look very Cthulhu. If you have a fear of various strange animals, even if you let him wear tactical armor, he dare not enter the underground base of sulfur-based life.

However, their technological creations are no different from general technological civilizations, and all technological creations use electricity.

Humans have observed for a long time and have deciphered their language, but have not found any special technology.

They also use fire in their lives, but they don’t want to ignite combustibles directly like humans. Their oxygen is stored like a gas tank. Oxygen is also poisonous to them. There is no problem or even no feeling if you inhale a small amount, but you will definitely die if you inhale a large amount.

Speaking of which, humans have seen many aliens since they set foot in the starry sky, but they have never seen any aliens who look similar to themselves. This time, even the basic framework of life is different.

While humans sigh that "life is strange and varied", they are also more certain of the universality of cosmic life.

In the past few years, I don’t know how many scientists have exclaimed "the miracle of life".

It is worth mentioning that there are many satellites of sulfur-based civilization in the orbit of this wandering planet. It can be seen that these satellites should be sent after the planet entered the uniform speed navigation stage, but humans did not move them, and they did not appear in front of these satellites before because of the hidden detection.

But now that Yue Yuan said so, these satellites naturally became the best megaphones.

So, an electromagnetic wave signal sent from the human research ship passed through these satellites and instantly reached the underground base of the wandering planet. Since humans sent it directly in the communication form of sulfur-based civilization, sulfur-based civilization understood it directly without any translation.
