From black technology to super engineering

Five days later.

The Sophie galaxy is a typical middle-aged star system. If calculated from the orbit of its outermost planet, the galaxy is only "half a solar system" in size.

Since there are stars and planets orbiting them, it means that there is a habitable zone—although there is only one rocky planet covered by a dense atmosphere in the habitable zone.

In the records of the Kerong people, although the planet is located in the habitable zone, no signs of civilization, especially advanced civilizations have been found—because they have never detected one of the most important signs of advanced civilization activities in this galaxy One, man-made electromagnetic signals.

And in the early investigation of human beings, no electromagnetic signals were detected. Humans only found water and a little vegetation on this habitable planet called Sophie 4 by the Kerong people through spectral analysis—— The news of the discovery of water in exoplanets may have caused a sensation if it was more than ten years earlier, but in the eyes of humans today, it is so common that it is not a problem.

As a result, the overwhelming battleships of human beings are like meteors, passing Sophie 4 from the sky.

...

Sophie 4 planets.

A gust of wind blows across the calm ocean, bringing up waves.

The sea was rippling and rushing towards the beach, but was blocked by a huge rock, causing waves about one meter high.

In the waves, two vigorous figures jumped out of the water with graceful gestures, and landed lightly on the rocks.

If humans see them, they will be amazed at the magic of the creations - because they are very similar to the mermaids described by humans. Powerful upper limbs, and a pair of transparent fins similar to wings on the "back".

Of course, compared to "mermaids", their appearance is not really "beautiful", at least it does not conform to human aesthetics - their necks are so thick that they almost have no necks, so that their facial features are piled up into an obvious triangular shape.

Behind the "neck", there is a thick layer of gill-like folds.

In the "arms" and "wrists" of their upper limbs, chitin structures similar to armor have evolved.

On their thick "necks", there is a pair of extremely sharp teeth tied with water plants.

At this time, the two creatures supported their bodies with their upper limbs at the same time, looking up at the sky.

It's a pity that the sky at this time is clear and clear, except for the large clouds, there is only a piece of blue.

The two creatures were not disappointed, but kept their posture, staring without blinking, only occasionally sliding down the stone, and then jumping out again.

Time passed like this bit by bit, and when the two creatures shook their heads at the same time, planning to return to the sea, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky.

The creatures who were about to leave straightened up immediately, staring at the light, and one of them kept making noises to his companions, with an obvious expression of excitement on his face.

The bright light is getting closer and closer, and the source of the light is becoming clearer and bigger.

The two creatures looked at the silver, giant sea clam-like flying device in the sky, with a bewildered look in their eyes.

Gradually, the probe from humans began to slow down and slowly landed on the beach.

Looking at the two creatures from a distance, they are like two statues.

Finally, they seemed to finally realize something, and jumped back into the water.

But their strong curiosity made them unable to give up this hard-won opportunity, so they rode the waves, only showing their heads, and slowly followed the waves to observe this alien object that they had never seen before.

...

Mercury, main control module.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

The continuous sound of the trough sounded in the corner of the main control cabin.

Wei Qiang, who was in charge of remotely controlling the biological detector on the spaceship, felt as if his ass was on fire, and his whole body bounced instantly.

Although the Mercury is a fully automated and even unmanned space carrier, since it is now the base camp of the former enemy command of the entire human coalition forces, human duty officers are assigned to every post.

And these watchmen are still on 24-hour shifts.

After all... The war is about to break out, the human fleet has completed a full transition, and is heading towards the enemy's fleet in two ways.

Now, the Mercury is staying at the exit of the jump with a large number of support ships and escort fleets, waiting for the coming main fleet of the blue star.

It can be said that everything on the Mercury now serves the war.

Therefore, as the scientific examiner on board, Wei Qiang's position was "squeezed" to the farthest corner, and his mission was only a routine scientific research mission - wherever he went, he could detect wherever he went, which is a consistent human habit. purpose.

Of course, this scientific expedition has another significance, which is to see if there are really intelligent creatures here.

If not, then humans will blow up the satellite of this planet.

Wei Qiang's unusual behavior instantly attracted the attention of the crew on duty, and everyone looked at him.

"Old Wei, what are you doing?"

"The detector fell into the sea?"

"What did you find so excited?"

Wei Qiang took a deep breath, pointed at the console screen and said loudly: "Fuck, there are creatures on this planet!"

"What's wrong with life? Bacteria and plants are also life... There seems to be plants on this planet?"

"A hammer! I mean, possibly civilization!"

Following Wei Qiang's yell, the crew members of several natural sciences immediately straightened their expressions, and quickly trotted to the front of Wei Qiang's position.

What I saw on the screen was the endless sea and half of the beach.

In the ups and downs of the sea, two slightly pointed heads floated around like gourds. Through the clear sea, one could see their upper limbs and fins paddling.

Everyone held their breath for an instant.

"Let me get closer!"

As the camera zoomed in, the appearance of the two creatures, as well as their purring eyes, were clearly seen.

At this moment, the door of the combat conference room behind him was opened, and Yang Wenzhi walked out first.

When he saw the crowd huddled together in a corner, Yang Wenzhi frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "I'm going to check the wormhole generator soon, what are you doing huddling together?"

"Report!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Wei Qiang said loudly, with a slight tremor in his voice: "I seem to have discovered intelligent creatures on planet Sophie 4."

Yang Wenzhi was stunned, and strode towards the corner after a while.

...

...

The moon, the space dock, the chief engineer's office.

"Why do you take my office every time you come?"

After Peng Xiaofei returned from the renovation site of the Enlightener, he opened the door and saw Ye Ming sitting on his seat. He was just stunned, and began to complain—of course, although he was complaining, the smile on his face The intention is that nothing can be hidden.

Ye Ming stood up with a smile, and the other party sat down on the sofa after touching his shoulder.

"Why didn't you come to the construction site today? Did you come quietly?" Peng Xiaofei walked towards the water dispenser with a smile, intending to make a cup of tea for Ye Ming.

"Don't put pressure on front-line engineers."

"Well, so you put pressure on me?"

"It's good that you know." Ye Ming smiled slightly, and then looked at Peng Xiaofei seriously: "Brother Xiaofei, can you take off on time in two days?"

Peng Xiaofei stopped his movements, took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "To be precise, it will take off in 45 hours!"

Ye Ming nodded slowly, and the expression on his face softened a little.

The upcoming battle of the Sophie galaxy, after deciphering the information sent by Goliath, has changed from a tactical decision to a strategic decision, and even... is an extremely important strategic decision!

Undoubtedly, when he heard that the enemy had dispatched a fleet of three bases to fight humans in the Sophie galaxy, Ye Ming was "fearful" for a moment-it wasn't because he was timid, or he didn't Confidence.

But this battle was so important that he began to doubt it—although both he and General Qin agreed that human beings were already ahead of the enemy in terms of tactics and weapons.

But that is a fleet of at least two bases!

At least two or three thousand ships!

But this kind of fear only rose for a moment before being covered by strong confidence.

The enemy is certainly powerful and numerous, but as long as humans can grasp the rhythm of the battle, as long as the enemy does not teleport 3,000 warships to the battlefield like cheating, then humans can completely beat the enemy into fueling tactics!

Of course, it won't work if only Ye Ming has this kind of confidence - the former enemy headquarters must also have confidence.

Happily, the former enemy command showed the same fighting desire and confidence.

Then what Ye Ming and even the military and industrial systems of the entire human society can do is to do their best to meet the requirements of the former enemy headquarters.

What the former enemy command needs most is an ultra-high-speed reconnaissance ship-only when the enemy's movements are grasped in advance can effective decisions be made.

So, Ye Ming came to the modification base in person.

"It's good to be able to fly. What the frontline needs most now is an ultra-high-speed reconnaissance ship."

"Aren't there Harriers?"

"The Harrier is still not fast enough, and the Harrier does not have a weapon system. Now the enemy has learned from us and sent reconnaissance ships over all day long. In the previous reconnaissance, the Harrier has lost two ships. Now go to the Dias 2 galaxy The detection is the manned scouting spaceship of the Krong people, their speed is faster, but the enemy's scouting ship is also very fast... I'm afraid it will be troublesome if the two sides fight."

Ye Ming briefly introduced the situation to Peng Xiaofei.

Peng Xiaofei frowned instantly, hesitated for a while and said: "Listen to you...it seems that the key to fighting is outside the battlefield?"

Ye Ming exhaled slowly, smiled and nodded.

In history, apart from a few sudden battles, really large-scale battles, the key to the duel in that battle was not outside the battlefield?

Intelligence between the enemy and us, logistics supplies, equipment upgrades, weapon supplies...these are all invisible on the battlefield, but they play a decisive role in the battle.

And the reason why humans dare to fight this battle is that humans have judged that it will take time for the enemy's fleet to assemble! And it is very likely that waves will come one after another!

As long as human beings can rely on superior weaponry and tactical systems to control and occupy, no matter how many enemy ships come, they can still fight.

What's more... as long as it is delayed for a few months, humans will be able to move out of super battleships.

"Okay, since you patted your chest, I'll take my leave first." Seeing Peng Xiaofei bring the teacup over, Ye Ming stood up: "I won't drink the tea—look, I've been really serious these days." busy."

As Ye Ming said, he raised his wrist and took a look, then took a light breath, calmed down and answered the phone.

The call was from Yang Wenzhi.

Frankly speaking, seeing Yang Wenzhi's communication now, he felt a little uneasy, fearing that there might be some trouble at the former enemy headquarters, or some new bad discovery...

"Academician Ye, we have some new information." On the phone, Yang Wenzhi's voice hesitated.

Ye Ming frowned slightly, feeling a little thumped in his heart, but soon he hummed and said calmly, "What's the situation?"

"On the fourth planet of Sophie, a submarine civilization was discovered."

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and he blinked hard: "What?"

"We discovered an undersea civilization..."

"Damn!" Ye Ming burst into a foul language in an instant: "Didn't it mean that there is no civilization in the Sophie galaxy, only primitive creatures?"

"We thought so too, but the scientific expedition team with the ship put a detector over there, and found two little mermaid boys..." Yang Wenzhi said with a bit of helplessness in his voice: "The satellite of planet No. 4 is very strange. , there is a ring of asteroids with high iron content. Our original plan was to blow up a few asteroids to interfere with the enemy's observation, and then hide our support fleet behind - because we are now far from the position of the fourth planet It's very close, and the Mercury is also planning to merge to avoid the enemy."

Ye Ming licked his lips, and there was an expression on his face that he didn't know how to describe.

After a few seconds of silence, he breathed out slowly: "What will happen if it doesn't explode?"

"If we blow it up, we can form an electromagnetic shielding circle. If we don't blow it up, we won't be able to form it... Well, if the enemy doesn't have a super-high-speed ship similar to beheading, it doesn't matter." Yang Wenzhi coughed lightly: " After all... all the support ships and logistics ships are here, if the enemy rushes over, it will not be fun."

"Well... if it explodes, it will definitely have a blow to the planetary ecology."

"It's a devastating blow..." Yang Wenzhi added: "We did the math, basically... a round of small-scale extinction. That's why we released the scientific research ship for final confirmation."

Ye Ming hummed and fell into a long silence.

After a long time, Ye Ming said softly: "How intelligent is this civilization?"

"Now the spaceship's scientific research personnel are already designing a communication plan...but they have found logos similar to tribal emblems on their bodies, and although effective communication has not yet been completed, it can be confirmed that the two indigenous people we contacted ...full of curiosity about alien creations, but also maintained a certain degree of rationality."

Ye Ming frowned deeply, and then scolded his mother.
