From black technology to super engineering

Like the helium flash of a star, like the merger of double stars, or like the explosion of a supernova, with the mothership as the center, an hourglass-shaped firework that cannot be described in words blooms in the sea of ​​stars, and the blue and incandescent light illuminates the whole area. starry sky.

Just for a second, the light disappeared, and the night sky returned to calm, leaving only embers like blinking stars announcing the story of a second ago.

In the moon command hall, everyone took off their combat helmets at the same time and looked at Yang Wenzhi standing quietly like a puppet.

"Snapped!"

"Crack!"

"Papa papa!"

Applause began to sound from the second floor, and after a while, thunderous applause completely filled the entire command hall.

Amid the applause, Yang Wenzhi took off his helmet. His hair was already wet with sweat, sticking to his forehead like pot stickers. He took a deep breath, first saluted the hall, then turned and stood facing the second floor .

In an instant, all the commanders stood up and raised their hands in unison to salute.

"Relax!"

"Nice job, lads."

...

On the second floor, all the generals returned to their original positions, with unsatisfactory satisfaction on their faces.

Undoubtedly, even though the enemy fleet had been determined to turn away from the battlefield at the moment Yang Wenzhi rammed into the opponent's mothership, the significance of his ramming was still extremely ordinary.

The generals here, of course, depend on the result, but what matters more is the process.

"Guys, shall we conclude now or wait for the frontline commander's report to be concluded?" General Qin is undoubtedly one of the most excited people in the entire conference room - this is the first time he led the Space Defense Convention force to counterattack the enemy In one battle, and it was the first battle in which the enemy and the enemy were completely unknown, they fought six for seven, destroyed one enemy mothership, three "battleships", and three destroyers, and forced the enemy fleet to turn around and run away...

This can no longer be described as a big victory.

"While it's hot, let's briefly talk about our ideas?" Director Niu smiled and made a suggestion, and then looked at Ye Ming.

Everyone here hopes to hear Ye Ming summarize the capabilities of the enemy fleet and the level of the entire executor civilization from a technical and scientific perspective.

"Well, yes. Mr. Ye, can you sum up for us?"

Faced with the invitation of two old friends, Ye Ming naturally would not refuse. In fact, this is also the reason why he watched the whole process and even "commanded" the battle.

"Let me briefly talk about the inspiration brought by Major Yang Wenzhi's individual breakthrough."

"First of all, the enemy fleet is using an energy storage system rather than a mysterious 'super energy', which can be seen from the sub-wave interception on the opposite side - otherwise, the opposite side can directly guide the attack and block it in all directions route."

Everyone nodded in unison, Ye Ming had already briefly said this before.

"Secondly, our improved traditional missiles are also useful against the space fighters of the enemy fleet."

As Ye Ming said, he quickly turned on the battlefield replay, and pointed to the moment when Y18 jumped into the enemy fighter group: "According to the data, Y18 released a total of three waves of missiles. The first wave of missiles targeted three destroyers, but unfortunately, Intercepted by melee fire from destroyers."

"However, the targets of the second and third waves are enemy aircraft groups. We can see that a total of four sorties were shot down. At the target speed of hundreds of Machs, this shot down is already remarkable."

Everyone said yes.

"This means that we have another option to deal with space fighters in the future, that is, we can send aircraft carrying missiles for long-distance interception."

"Thirdly, the other side did not release missiles, but relied heavily on particle weapons." Ye Ming pondered for two seconds and then smiled: "I don't comment on whether this development direction is right or not, but how should I put it... The need for energy storage in particle weapons has always been a flaw."

At this moment, Director Niu interrupted and asked, "Then can our two-dimensional supercapacitor solve the problem?"

"It can be partially resolved, but it is not yet completely resolved."

"Go on."

"Fourth, it's the main event." Ye Ming said and glanced down. At this time, the commanders had already ended their command, and handed over the spaceship to Aita's control, and kept the distance between the two at a certain distance to implement full control. able. The two commanders who made great contributions were surrounded by people, summing up their experience with their comrades.

"We know that after Y18 decided to go out to meet the enemy, he has been manually controlled-he has escaped countless main gun attacks during this period."

"It's obviously impossible for us to attribute this to technology." Ye Ming coughed lightly, with a smile on his lips: "Science doesn't talk about luck, but in war... I think luck and sixth sense are things , there should still be some."

Everyone laughed, and General Qin sighed meaningfully: "We won't talk about this."

"I still have to say one thing... that is, the decisions people make, or subconscious behaviors, are effective in times of crisis. From the beginning of the design, Aita has been positioned as the ultimate assistant of human beings. She is best at It's logic and reason, not something mysterious. Therefore, at times of crisis, at times of fate, human beings may make more accurate decisions than Aita."

"Fate should be decided by human beings, and human beings should be responsible for it." Ye Ming pursed his lips and looked at the crowd: "This is my summary of Major Yang Wenzhi's outrageous road to mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"Yes!"

"well said!"

"That's right! Human beings should be responsible for themselves!"

Everyone echoed, with smiles on their faces at the same time, even General Qin nodded repeatedly, and there was constant laughter in the meeting room for a while.

Whether in public or private, as representatives of human military power, they all hope that human beings can hold the most powerful armed force in their own hands, instead of handing it over to a "universal" AI - of course, the premise is that human beings "can" master , you can’t be too far behind AI, right?

Now that Ye Ming said that at a time of crisis, humans might be able to do better than AI, so of course ten thousand of them are willing to listen.

Ye Ming smiled slightly: "Fifth, it is the result of the impact."

"Because the speed is too fast, and Y18 crashed with a shield, we can't know what happened at the moment of impact. But this can give us enough inspiration, that is, when the high-dimensional space membrane touches all three-dimensional objects When it is touched, it will take effect immediately, sending everything it touches into another dimension, causing the target's structural disintegration."

"What does this inspire us?" Ye Ming looked around and asked like a teacher asking a question.

Many generals fell into deep thought. After a while, General Nevsky's eyes lit up, and he replied in Mandarin with a strong accent: "Even if the plan to mend the sky fails, we can still carry out a suicidal interception."

"That's right!" Ye Ming cast admiring glances at the opponent and nodded heavily: "In addition, it also proves that the attack methods of the second and third generations of rice grains are effective."

After solving the energy problem, the second-generation rice grains will be defined as curvature missiles. At that time, let alone interception, I am afraid that they will be discovered... well, they can still be discovered. After all, the gravitational waves emitted by that thing are comparable to a large antenna, and the entire galaxy can receive it.

But so what? Gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light, and curvature missiles can exceed the speed of light.

As for the third generation of rice grains, it will be the product of the complete unification of two, three and four dimensions by human beings—it can directly approach higher dimensions from three dimensions, and then jump out of three dimensions to reach the designated position.

The attack methods adopted by these two generations will be to directly rely on the high-dimensional space membrane to contact the target, and then cause the target structure to collapse to achieve the purpose of destruction.

In a sense, the last hit of Y18 is a slow "second-generation rice grain".

After briefly introducing the attack method of the new generation of rice grains, Ye Ming exhaled softly: "The last thing is the explosion of the enemy mothership."

"Frankly speaking, the explosion of the mothership exceeded my expectations."

"We can now clearly confirm that the slow speed of the enemy fleet is entirely due to the dragging down of its mothership - before we even thought that the propulsion system of the enemy fleet was nothing more than that."

"But judging from the explosion intensity of the enemy ships we destroyed, our previous understanding was wrong. The enemy ships used anti-matter propulsion—because the last supernova-like light can only be released when anti-matter is annihilated. Such a powerful energy."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sideways and looked at each other. Director Niu asked cautiously: "Since they have antimatter propulsion, why are they so slow?"

——The enlightener's spaceship, the Tula, is still in the space dock, and its speed of 5% of the speed of light is still fresh in everyone's memory.

"I don't know, but if we use antimatter propulsion and can only go so fast, then there are only two reasons. One is that our propulsion system is not good, and the other is that the mass is too large."

Ye Ming took a deep breath while speaking: "Even if you use an antimatter engine, you must abide by the basic principles. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its energy requirement to accelerate to the speed of light."

"Then... what about us?"

"Well, when we can mine antimatter, we shouldn't have to worry about it." Ye Ming smiled, and finally looked at the crowd: "That's basically it. For details, we may have to refer to the experience of frontline commanders. "

"Okay, let's go down and talk to the boys!"

***

Yang Wenzhi and Smir quickly walked out of the combat conference room.

Perhaps it was because they had been fighting on an empty stomach for eight hours in a row, this battle meeting didn't last long, not even as long as the previous simulation training summary.

At the meeting, Taiyue's bigwigs came out together and praised everyone without hesitation, but they didn't specifically praise anyone.

After all, being able to win this first battle is the credit of the collective.

But Yang Wenzhi and Smir didn't care too much—they were really excited and nervous during the battle. Especially when Aita continuously projected the local main gun attack screen to the command system, and reported various data in his ear like a reminder, the feeling of being on the scene made people have no doubt that at that time At that moment, they were in space, commanding a battleship that rushed into the enemy's line alone.

But as the battle ended and the mood calmed down... After everyone was unscathed, the tension and excitement gradually disappeared.

To put it bluntly, this is not much different from playing a game—it's not that I feel a little regretful about not being Deng Guandai, but as a soldier, the battleship is gone, but I am fine, which always feels almost meaningless.

While walking, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.

"By the way, Lao Yang, what was your mood when you rushed forward?"

When Yang Wenzhi turned his head, he saw Major Zeng Yuanhai, who was the first to support him, winking at him: "Are you a bit regretful that I'm not on board?"

Yang Wenzhi was startled, and then he laughed: "You boy, the first one to burp?"

"No way, I fired two more shots to cover you. I don't have enough energy to resist."

"grateful."

"Talk about this." Zeng Yuanhai squeezed his shoulders: "Flash, go back to take a shower and have dinner, and I will write a summary at night-a silent condolence for you two."

As he spoke, Major Zeng deftly avoided the elbows of Yang Wenzhi and Smir, and left while chatting and laughing with his teammates.

Yang Wenzhi and Smil looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time, showing helpless expressions.

The two of them have the most tactical instructions, so this report... naturally is also the most complicated.

But when they thought of Aita, the two became happy again, and walked briskly towards the dormitory.

...

Three hundred million light-years away.

On a secluded and charming planet, there is a huge steel tower that reaches the sky, soaring into the sky.

Among the vast sea of ​​clouds, the light of the stars gently penetrated through the glass, filling a certain room above the high tower.

The decoration of the room is very luxurious, covered with the fur of various wild animals, with a strong primitive tribal style.

A tall intelligent creature with a protruding forehead was lying on a large bed that was three meters long and wide. From the outside, he is about 2.5 meters tall.

Beside the bed, a small clock was tirelessly turning in circles, making a ticking sound.

The intelligent creature has been immersed in sleep, and he pouted, as if enjoying food in his dream.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blows slowly, bringing a sweet smell towards the creature on the bed.

The next second, he opened his eyes.

"Level 3 incident?"

The intelligent creature muttered, then sat up.

"The third-level incident three years ago?"

The intelligent creature reached out and picked up a crown placed on the head of the bed, put it on its head, and closed its eyes at the same time: "Let me see... what happened."

The next moment, the intelligent creature opened its eyes, with an expression of disbelief on its face: "What civilization is that?"

As his voice fell, the window automatically turned black, blocking out all the light, and then, the light descended from the roof, fully displaying the battlefield that took place in Auriga.

In the picture, twenty-four battleships are approaching at high speed, and several rays of light shoot up into the sky.

In the picture, a battleship left the team at high speed and headed straight for its side.

In the picture, the ultra-high-speed missile pierces through the void, passes through the interception net, and reaches the formation.

In the picture, one battleship after another turned into fireworks all over the sky...
