Black technology: starting with space jump machine

Xiao Liu slowly got off the electric bus with the crowd, and his heart was already surging!

He is about to step into the legendary Base Zero, which is already a legend in the Chinese scientific community!

As Lu Yu's number one fan on Earth, even though nearly five years have passed, he still firmly remembers the UP who claimed to have built a space jumping machine.

Even after following Lu Yu's footsteps for five years, he will finally step into Base Zero and become one of its glorious researchers!

However, Xiao Liu was still on the outskirts of Base Zero and saw that most of the people getting off the buses were young people like him.

That’s right, those in their 30s can no longer be considered middle-aged.

The foreseeable increase in average life expectancy has allowed Xiao Liu to return to the ranks of young people internally.

There seem to be a lot of people today?

He looked around the team and made a silent judgment.

"good!"

"Everyone has it!"

"Originally, today is your first day at the base. I should show you the way and walk around, but now there is an urgent project that requires your cooperation."

These new researchers were led by several instructors. Base Zero implemented military-style management on the periphery, and they even had to undergo a period of military training before they officially joined.

They followed the instructors to a hall, where a group of people were already gathered in front of a large cylindrical glass to watch a virtual battle. On the white cylindrical glass was a real-time holographic projection of a simulated battle between red and blue space fleets.

This cylindrical glass with a radius of about five meters turned out to be a display screen. Some instructors kept walking back and forth around the cylindrical glass in search of a better observation field.

This sci-fi cylindrical glass has attracted many researchers’ attention.

As one side lost, a water drop-shaped virtual cabin suddenly popped up from one side of the cylindrical glass, and the battle on the display screen also came to an end.

"Okay, what's in front of everyone is the virtual reality device."

"Now we need your help in debugging. Of course, if you want to try flying a spaceship by the way, we are very welcome!"

This group of new researchers are generally young, and no one would refuse to try this novel thing. Xiao Liu was lucky enough to be the first to experience it.

Wearing a virtual helmet and lying in a comfortable water droplet virtual cabin, he felt as if he had fallen into a lucid dream.

In front of me are two space battleships nearly one kilometer long in the orbit of the moon, maintaining a speed slightly lower than the speed of the second universe and engaging in a simulated space battle in the orbit around the edge of the earth.

Xiao Liu also worked as a debugger for virtual reality technology internally, but the virtual scene was still very rough at that time, and it was completely different from what it is like to actually drive a space battleship now.

From the viewfinder on his own battleship, he could see three green high-energy beams fired from the opponent's three side beam cannons. These three beams were aimed at the bow, hull and engine at the rear of his ship respectively.

The distance between the two battleships was only 0.05 light seconds and there was no time to react. In less than a blink of an eye, the thick high-energy beam arrived in front of his own battleship. It hit hard on the electromagnetic shield that wrapped the entire spacecraft and was as colorful as a brilliant aurora.

From the external viewfinder, I saw three green high-energy beams that instantly split into dozens of smaller beams after hitting the electromagnetic shield. Then these beams were slightly refracted and disappeared into the deep space of the universe. The electromagnetic shield surrounding the battleship only dimmed slightly and then returned to its previous splendor after sufficient energy was replenished.

"The low-power salvo of the beam cannon consumes about one ten thousandth of the energy reserve of the electromagnetic shield. If you calculate based on this, it can be concluded."

“Are all beginner tutorials so cool?”

Xiao Liu looked at the data on the display screen and tried to manipulate the control interface of the spacecraft. It was as simple as putting his hands into his gloves. He controlled the spacecraft at an unexpected speed.

Sometimes, humans may not be able to discover their hidden talents throughout their lives, but when it is stimulated, the feeling of gaining dominance in a certain field is particularly strong.

Even though it was his first time getting started, Xiao Liu had already consciously started to make various attempts to operate various weapons and engines.

He took the initiative to slow down the battleship and was pulled back a little distance by the earth's gravity. When the two ships were 0.01 light seconds apart, the enemy warship's orbit was already directly above him, and dense nuclear missiles were launched from the oblate hull of Xiao Liu's warship.

The speed of missiles cannot be compared with high-energy beams. 0.01 light seconds is almost 3,000 kilometers away. After the missile is launched, it takes almost a minute to hit the opponent.

In space wars, the speed of conventional missiles is too slow. Enemy ships suddenly set up small beams of light like beam hedgehogs, and then shoot them out in all directions to block missile attacks.

A burst of grand fire broke out between the two battleships instantly, like fireworks in space. The simulation of various space weapons made the people outside the venue who saw this shocking scene for the first time unable to take their eyes away.

And somewhere, Professor Han was watching the lively scene with interest.

Professor Mao happened to walk up to him holding a cup of coffee and asked curiously: "It's rare to see you so happy recently. What good things have happened to you?"

Professor Han sighed and said: "As you know, I study psychology, and I have always been vaguely worried about a certain situation before."

"Only when they need each other can stable relationships be formed between people and between people and organizations."

"But after Lu Yu left the Horn Clan star system, he had already left the stage of surviving in the universe. The mutual need relationship with the base at the beginning was no longer applicable, but we have never established a new stable relationship since then."

"The reason is that he progressed too fast, while we humans on the Blue Star progressed too slowly, and some of us could not keep up with his pace."

Professor Han pointed to the simulated battle below: "But the virtual reality technology in front of us provides another possibility. Lu Yu's request for us to drive the zombie spaceship may be just a whim, but I thought about it carefully for a long time and suddenly found that this opportunity will be an important opportunity for us to re-establish a mutual need relationship!"

"Lao Mao, have you heard of the [Fourth Disaster]?"

"Even if it is a trick, we should try to walk into the stars."

The battle was finally over. Xiao Liu unexpectedly passed the novice tutorial in his first battle. When he came out of the cockpit, a large group of instructors immediately surrounded him.

"Is this really your first time flying a spaceship? Why can you do a deep-space turn?"

"How do you know the enemy ship is behind the wreckage?"

Xiao Liu thought, isn't it just a game? Why are you so excited? Then he saw Professor Mao walking over from the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Director Mao!"

Professor Mao still smiled and responded, "Oh! Are you Xiao Liu from the Fifth Institute of Aerospace?"

"Yes, yes, I was..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Professor Mao say, "Xiao Liu! Why don't you stop doing scientific research for the time being?"

Xiao Liu's eyes widened for a moment, thinking that he had done something wrong, and then he heard Professor Mao continue to say sincerely, "Go learn to drive a space battleship first!"

? ?

Now if you want to do scientific research, you have to take a spaceship driver's license first?

Base Zero is really so terrifying!
