From black technology to super engineering

A "star map" of the local supercluster is rising in the office.

This "star map" has a history of thousands of years, and it was the wormhole network that the Canglan Star people had mastered when they fled all the way.

Because it was born in the situation of "doing nothing", it is only a small part of the huge number of galaxies in the supercluster of galaxies compared to the whole supercluster of galaxies-it only involves less than ten galaxies , in addition to the local galaxy cluster, it mainly rotates between the Leo cluster of galaxies, as well as Auriga, Antrum, etc.

As for the other large galaxy clusters in this supercluster, especially the center of the galaxy cluster, the Virgo Galaxy, they have not even touched the door.

However, just this point of information is enough for human beings to gain a head start in dealing with it.

"Currently, our first batch of detectors are about to arrive at the VSC-12 wormhole in Auriga. The past of this wormhole is VSC-24 in Canes Venaticus. Here, the detectors need to sail for about four months, and then Then you can reach the Karatu galaxy through the vsc-25 wormhole. It is said that this galaxy is occupied by a highly developed civilization..."

Following Ye Ming's explanation, two detection spacecraft and the three-dimensional modeling of the wormhole immediately appeared on the star map, showing the passage of the wormhole in the most intuitive way.

"According to the latest analysis, the executor is about to arrive at VSC-34, and it won't be long before he will pass through the stargate and enter the Karatu galaxy. At that time, our probe may meet him in Karatu."

Director Niu rubbed his chin, looked at the three-dimensional planetary image without blinking, pondered for a few seconds and said, "Can this simulate a battle?"

"If it's a battle that simulates human understanding, it's definitely possible." Ye Ming smiled, and then retreated to his seat: "I actually support General Qin's idea, although our current ideas and plans are based on unmanned spaceships , but in terms of tactics, we are currently poor and inexperienced, so we can’t even do simulations.”

"Yes." General Qin nodded in agreement, then got up, put his hands on his waist, and looked at the star map with burning eyes.

"It is conceivable that Auriga will be the battlefield in the future. After all, the eye-catching stars in the Triangulum galaxy are definitely not willing to extend the flames of war to their star field."

General Qin pointed at the star map and said in a deep voice: "Since it is the front line, we must keep enough eyes - how many detectors can we put?"

"If it is a conventional power detector, it will definitely be no problem to put dozens of them."

"Well. As long as we can stop the enemy in the Auriga, then we can launch a roundabout attack from another line."

As he spoke, General Qin kept pointing his finger: "From the direction of the Canglan Star's escape route, VSC-4, 38, 39, 40, and 41 are the jumping points, which are directly inserted obliquely into the constellation Auriga, and attack from both sides."

"You can even split into two groups, jumping directly from VSC-13, 23 jump point in Canes Constellation to Canes Constellation, making a big detour, three bread dumplings."

"Although we don't know how space warfare is fought, in terms of strategy, all wars in the world are connected." General Qin pursed his lips, unable to hide the excitement in his heart: "Mr. Ye, do you think so?"

Ye Ming coughed lightly. He, an ordinary person who has only played real-time strategy games and returned food, how dare he talk about strategy in front of General Qin?

Of course, General Qin obviously didn't want to discuss with him, but just said it in passing.

"Well, indeed. It's just..." Ye Ming looked behind him as he spoke.

The space dock behind him was bright.

The main responsible unit of the space dock is the space center, and the specific executive unit is Jizhi Technology and hundreds of enterprises. The person responsible for the overall intelligent assembly and coordination is Peng Xiaofei, who has already taken root in the moon—space.

A few days ago, Peng Xiaofei was still telling him that it would take at least two or three months before the space factory was put into operation.

Just when Ye Ming regretted that the construction period could not be shortened, he suddenly found that General Qin had been looking at him, and he looked back at him after a slight pause.

"Mr. Ye, how long will it take for the space shipyard to roll out the first batch of warships?" General Qin asked Ye Ming with a smile.

"It will be officially put into operation after two or three months, and if only assembly tasks are performed, then it is definitely no problem to roll off a batch in one month-but the cost is still very high, after all, all parts have to be produced from the ground. transport."

"Well, aside from these things, it means that the spaceship will be able to launch the spaceship in four or five months at most, right?"

"Theoretically so."

"Then... we can completely form a fleet of Song-class spaceships first, and go directly to the front line - but not from the Triangulum Galaxy, but from the Andromeda. On the one hand, it will go along with the Canglan Star On the other hand, this star road is also the way to make dumplings." General Qin clapped his right hand: "We have this mobile fleet, and when the time comes, whether it is to rescue the Canglan Star people or to do it Everything...is very convenient!"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Good idea!"

However, he immediately became puzzled again: "Speaking of which... this is something you two have agreed to..."

Hearing this, General Qin and Director Niu looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.

"Mr. Ye, our plan... still needs a supporter."

Director Niu said bluntly: "Our construction situation, manufacturing capacity, technology improvement... Now no one can say it's easy, but you can say it's easy..."

Ye Ming: "..."

Well, he probably knew it. It is estimated that the higher-ups could not make up their minds about sending troops first.

After all, the wealth of human beings is so small now, it cannot bear the slightest "waste". Coupled with the fact that the military insists on sending troops, there will always be something like that...

In silence, Ye Ming frowned slightly, lost in thought.

If the information of the Canglan Stars is completely followed, then the time for the executor to arrive in the Auriga galaxy will only be one year. And in this year...according to the current production capacity of human beings, it is indeed possible to make dumplings in space.

If the cost is not considered, among other things, the 12 docks of the space dock can produce 12 unmanned space battleships every month under full firepower.

Of course, such a warship can only be a guided missile destroyer, or a guided missile frigate—the structure is very simple, that is, an engine plus a high-dimensional space membrane generator, and a few holes are opened to launch missiles. What kind of life support system, what kind of gravity system, what kind of cargo cabin crew cabin command room is completely unnecessary, and even the shield system is not needed!

To put it bluntly, it is pure consumables.

The real decisive battle level ability still depends on the main battleship.

"If we are determined to organize forces to meet the enemy in Auriga, then the window period for our shipbuilding is only four months, five months at the top." Ye Ming said, looking at Director Niu: "Three people in the space dock It will run in a month, and in four months, forty-eight spacecraft and guided missile frigates can be built."

"On the ground, it is equivalent to a half-year shipbuilding window period, and twelve Song-class ships can be built."

"For the Asian grade, it is estimated that the manufacturing period will be more than one year, and it will not be able to catch up."

Ye Ming looked at General Qin again: "Anyway, before the war, this is all that our manufacturing industry can give you... Do you think we can fight?"

"Yes! Why can't you?" General Qin laughed loudly: "Even if there is no spaceship, I will hit you if you throw a stone."

"Then I'll write a report." Ye Ming pursed his lips, and then sighed softly: "My only worry now is that the scale of executors may be a bit beyond our expectations."

General Qin was slightly taken aback: "How to say?"

Ye Ming shook his head: "According to the curvature analysis, there are at least 30 spaceships over there, forming a huge fleet... And you have to know, because of the interference of clutter, this number can only increase and not decrease."

"If the opposing warship is really armed to the teeth, and even to the teeth first...then it will be very difficult for us to win head-to-head."

General Qin and Director Niu looked at each other, and they said at the same time, "What about Nuwa's plan?"

"Nuwa's plan..." Ye Ming took a deep breath, then his eyes became firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Unless an enemy spaceship suddenly appears in front of Lao Tzu, otherwise...they will definitely not be able to break through!"

"Then you're still worried!" General Qin laughed heartily: "Write the report quickly!"

...

Sending the two away, Ye Ming did not write the report hastily - he has always been "cautious" when it comes to the military. Basically, he is positioned as a representative of science and manufacturing, engaged in "logistics" That kind of people never give any advice to the military lightly.

Of course, he couldn't mention anything. After all, there is a specialization in the art industry...

Only this time, on the one hand, General Qin and Director Niu, the "Eagle" faction, found him, and he has always been biased towards the "Eagle" faction in the conflict of foreign civilizations, and the two sides have a common language. On the other hand, the demands of the Canglan Star people really need to be considered.

After all, this is the first batch of "little brothers" of human beings, how can we ignore it!

Therefore, Ye Ming had a conversation with the leader first, and changed the leader's attitude in a roundabout way. As a result, the leader was so good, he immediately saw through his mind...

But Ye Ming also got the real intention of the leader, which is to be entangled.

On the one hand, the leader also wants to establish in front of the Canglan Star people the demeanor of a big country that responds to requests in times of crisis, oh no, the demeanor of a big ball... On the other hand, the fact that the enemy is coming is also very specific, and there is no room for any mistakes.

So Ye Ming had a bottom line in his mind. After a brief chat with the leader, he started to prepare a forward-looking report on military technology.

In the report, Ye Ming gave the forecast of the current technology and production capacity, and also gave the production capacity increase in the next two years - especially the universal factories that are currently being put into use in the three places of Canglan Star, the Moon, and the Earth. , after a year-long period of experimentation and debugging, it has now officially begun to move towards the fission road of self-replication.

In two years, the production capacity in these places will be quadrupled.

Although compared with the entire human resource mining and production and processing system, the current improvement brought by the universal factory is not high, but once this thing enters fission replication, its speed is terrifying.

If you think about the wheat chessboard, you will know that one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen—if it is really split at this speed, the entire universe will be hollowed out in less than 100 years—as long as able to reach.

In addition, Ye Ming also gave the application of military technology, saying that what is most lacking at present is the "multifunctional processing platform" such as super accelerators. With the successful experiments of two-dimensional batteries and two-dimensional supercapacitors, the current The Super Accelerator Management Committee has received hundreds of experimental applications from various laboratories around the world.

Of course, there is no time to kill now.

In the future, all the production capacity of the accelerator will be concentrated on the manufacture of rice grains and the upgrade of subsequent models.

In a word, it is to serve the war.

After the report was handed out, Ye Ming abided by his duties and stopped interfering, but concentrated his energy on the artificial wormhole.

A week later, the man-made wormhole was activated again, and the teleportation car spanned 20 million light years and reappeared in the human world.

This time, it didn't send a "person" over, but sent the strange substance that human beings have dreamed of the most so far.

...

The colorful brilliance slowly disappeared, and the teleportation car landed lightly on the support of the artificial singularity receiving platform under the gravity of the moon.

Then, a transport ship slowly docked beside it. After the hatch opened, the mechanical arm stretched out, clamped the car accurately, and then put it into the cargo hold.

Immediately afterwards, the spacecraft activated the anti-gravity module, and then slowly lifted into the air under the push of the attitude engine.

Space Dock Engineering Command Center.

Ye Ming withdrew his gaze from the big screen and looked at Peng Xiaofei standing beside him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You insist on doing it manually just to show off in front of me?"

"Otherwise?" Peng Xiaofei was one year older than Ye Ming. He was in his early thirties this year, and he was already a father. This guy's weight has soared in the past two years, and he already has the appearance of a strong man.

Well, he puts it down to being in space all year round.

Looking at Ye Ming at this time, Peng Xiaofei proudly said: "We are the operators of the champion team of the robot competition. What I want to tell you is that my brother is not old!"

"Pooh!"

"Hahaha!" Peng Xiaofei laughed heartily.

Immediately, he touched Ye Ming with a curious expression on his face: "What did the Canglan Star people send? Do you have to open the box in space?"

Ye Ming looked at his friend with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Strange matter."

Peng Xiaofei sucked in a breath of cool air to his heels.

After a long time, he said "Damn": "This thing, there will be no problems, right? Will it create an artificial black hole? Singularity?"

"I don't know, I'm bound by a force field now." Ye Ming glanced at the big physicists sitting in a row behind him, headed by Professor Horien, and said softly, "That's why we have to open it in space."

"... Is that really safe?" Peng Xiaofei also glanced at the crowd behind him, he knew that this group of people was basically the elite of mankind.

"You want to talk about safety... well, do you think I will take this group of human elites to take risks?"

"……Won't."

"That's it."

Ye Ming put his hands behind his back and looked at the spaceship slowly rising into the sky, his eyes were calm as usual.

But his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
