From black technology to super engineering

"Hello, Academician Zhou."

"Hello General Yang."

Yang Wenzhi welcomed a group of scientists from Earth into the Mercury.

These scientists will stay on the Frost Star in the next few months or even longer, conduct a detailed review and coordination of the science and technology of the Frost Star, and eventually establish a new science based on human knowledge. system.

According to common sense, although these scientists were of considerable background, and Yang Wenzhi was very busy, and the fleet itself had a scientific research institution, so it was not necessary for Yang Wenzhi to greet them personally, but he still personally led the scientific team to pick up these scientists from the landing warehouse. We were greeted all the way to the conference room of the scientific research center.

The reason is naturally the leading academician Zhou Xiangnan, who is the deputy director of the Brain-Computer Center and Ye Ming's "person".

"Academician Zhou, we only have this condition at the moment, so we can only give in to you for a while." Yang Wenzhi opened the door of the conference room of the scientific research center and said with a smile: "The enemy's space city is still undergoing environmental and adaptability tests. , it is estimated that the results will be available soon.”

"It's okay, it's okay, we just take it as it comes." Zhou Xiangnan quickly waved his hand to express that he didn't mind - he asked Ye Ming about the situation on the Mercury before he came, knowing that although the Mercury was a mothership with a lot of space and many rooms, The large places are mainly public areas and office functional areas, but the accommodation conditions are very average.

This kind of design can accommodate more people on the one hand, and on the other hand, increasing the activity space can also make people feel happy.

Of course, Zhou Xiangnan and the others would definitely not be able to live on the Mercury for a long time - they were on a battleship and would go to the front line to fight in a few months. They are only living here temporarily now, and then they will move to the space city after the space city of Frost Star is confirmed to be safe.

In the past, that space city was the residence of the rulers of the empire. Now... now that the imperial people have escaped, it is natural for humans to live there.

"Then I won't disturb you guys." Seeing all the scientists sitting down, Yang Wenzhi smiled and prepared to leave, knowing that they might have technical arrangements and discussions.

However, Zhou Xiangnan stopped him: "General Yang, wait a moment, let me take a step to speak."

Yang Wenzhi was startled, then nodded immediately.

…

"Academician Ye asked me to tell you, if possible, don't be too anxious." Zhou Xiangnan conveyed Ye Ming's words to Yang Wenzhi while looking at this office of less than 20 square meters - probably his temporary office space. .

Yang Wenzhi hummed. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still did not ask questions, but waited for Zhou Xiangnan to continue.

He knew that Ye Ming had been very busy these days, and even messages were answered by Ita.

"General Yang didn't ask why?" Zhou Xiangnan looked away and joked with a smile.

Yang Wenzhi chuckled: "Since Academician Ye asked you to take the message, there must be a reason."

After a pause, Yang Wenzhi hesitated and said: "If I understand correctly, what Academician Ye means is that he hopes we will slow down the attack speed? Is that right?"

"That should be the case." Zhou Xiangnan nodded with a smile.

Yang Wenzhi's expression became a little more serious: "Then why didn't Academician Ye bring it up in the combat meeting?"

Zhou Xiangnan coughed lightly...with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

When Ye Ming asked him to speak, he also asked Ye Ming why he didn't say it himself. But let him tell you...

Ye Ming did not give a specific answer at the time, but just smiled and told him that the entire combat meeting must be recorded.

"That's it... we are going to build a very important experimental base here." Zhou Xiangnan considered the words and said slowly: "Once this base is completed and the experimental results come out... it will bring us unparalleled improvement."

Yang Wenzhi's eyes suddenly condensed!

He asked almost subconsciously: "Is there a stronger weapon?"

"That's understandable."

"Can it surpass the second-generation rice grain?"

"If the results are as expected... you can think that we will have reusable and controllable... super second-generation rice grains."

Yang Wenzhi immediately clenched his fists!

He is very aware of the power of the second-generation rice grains - as the strongest weapon of mankind at present, the second-generation rice grains have always existed in the form of a box-bottom.

But its only disadvantage is that it is not reusable and the output is too low.

As a result, Yang Wenzhi had to train the fleet's combat capabilities when the rice grains were exhausted.

If... there were reusable second-generation rice grains...

That……

"How long do we need to wait?" Yang Wenzhi asked directly after taking a deep breath.

Zhou Xiangnan laughed.

What Mr. Ye said was indeed correct. People in the military... all went straight to the topic from the very beginning.

"That's right. This experiment is based on the last experiment designed and hosted by Academician Ye himself - few people know that the experiment was terminated midway."

"Why is this happening? Because something happened that Academician Ye couldn't control." Zhou Xiangnan's expression became serious: "Therefore, all our experiments and speculations at present have no theory at all, let alone It’s a specific time.”

With Zhou Xiangnan's explanation, Yang Wenzhi understood why Ye Ming asked someone to tell him.

Ye Ming couldn't control this experiment, but Ye Ming obviously knew what would happen once the experiment was successful.

After taking a few breaths, Yang Wenzhi nodded slowly: "Our strategic direction is to quickly capture the enemy's base No. 31, yes, but in terms of tactical arrangements, we are cautious."

"Well, let's speed up here too." Zhou Xiangnan nodded with a smile, and then left.

Yang Wenzhi thought for a few seconds, exhaled softly and shook his head slightly.

Of course, there is no problem with slowing down. In a sense, according to the current deployment of Taiyue, allowing a certain amount of rest time will be beneficial to mankind - Crozier has already said that it is impossible for the enemy to invest all the warships. Came to Base 31.

Because the enemy cannot afford to lose.

But if this happens...I am afraid that the recovery time of Aila Star will be postponed.

Thinking of those Blue Star warriors who sacrificed their lives... Yang Wenzhi had a wry smile on his lips.

"Academician Ye has also become cunning... Let me be the bad guy."

…

Three days later, Frost Star Space City was thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, and human scientist teams and relevant departments of the Community began to enter the space city one after another.

As the leader of the scientific team, Zhou Xiangnan was one of the first people to board the space city. When he walked in the wide corridor and looked at the Himba people on both sides who were not very tall, bending down to greet them, he felt an inexplicable feeling. Arrogance rises.

"Is this the ruler's perspective?" Zhou Xiangnan smiled at Tao Zheng who was following him closely.

Tao Zheng was also a student in the Department of Electrical Engineering, and was the vice-captain of the robot team that Ye Ming originally joined. Later, he naturally joined JiZhi Technology and served as the technical director. Now he comes to Frost Star as a representative of Ji Zhi Technology, and he can also be regarded as the chief engineer.

"Haha, I heard that the people in the empire don't treat them as human beings." Tao Zheng looked back and saw their crowd coming all the way. These Simba people kept bending and bowing, keeping their posture unchanged: " Academician Zhou, do you want to tell them to stand up straight?"

"Forget it, this should be their etiquette... Today is our first day, let's show off our prestige first, lest these natives think we are soft persimmons." Zhou Xiangnan withdrew his eyes from the Himba people, and under the leadership of the machine guard Get off the elevator.

Arriving on the top floor, his eyes instantly brightened in the spacious and bright lounge.

"Damn it, so luxurious?"

This lounge covers an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters and is extremely luxuriously decorated. All the pillars in the hall are inlaid with sparkling gems of various colors, and the walls are covered with various paintings of unknown styles and all kinds of strange things. crafts.

Most of these handicrafts are "natural" - just from their appearance, you can tell they come from various living creatures.

There are a dozen glass-like tables with gold edges in the hall, and there are two dark metal chairs beside each table.

Next to the hall, a huge bar is filled with a variety of utensils and drinks.

In front of the bar, six young and well-behaved Himba women stood in a row with their heads lowered and hands tied, waiting for the simplicity of the new owner.

Zhou Xiangnan and Tao Zheng randomly found a place to sit down, and the chairs changed their shapes as if they were connected, holding them up perfectly.

Feeling this unprecedented comfort, Zhou Xiangnan let out a long breath: "Damn... this is phase change metal... they actually use it to make chairs."

"Is this metal capable of room-temperature superconducting?"

"Yes."

"Will it be removed in the future?" Tao Zheng lay down, and the chair quickly supported the back of his head, making him feel very comfortable.

"It's not going to be demolished. The purpose of using this place is to restore it as much as possible. After all, this space city has historical significance. Besides, a lot of this metal has been recovered from the wreckage of enemy warships, so there is no need to demolish it. "

As Zhou Xiangnan spoke, he turned to look at the Himba waiter who was hesitantly walking in the direction of the two of them.

If the Himba people are defined as human beings, their facial structure is similar to that of humans. Moreover, they are petite in size and their facial features look very delicate - it can be said that they are superior to human aesthetics.

Zhou Xiangnan looked at the waiter with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity: "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

He knew that the current communication between the two parties still relied on Aita's translator, and Aita's translation was not very accurate in many cases - the language of the Himba people was very different from human language expression.

"I can understand a little bit, distinguished sir." The waiter came to them and bowed slightly: "Do you want any drinks?"

Zhou Xiangnan suddenly became happy: "How do you know human language?"

"I once served Lady Lianna of the Empire, and with her, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to human language."

Zhou Xiangnan was startled for a moment, and immediately thought that Lianna was the female empire member who had contacted Ye Ming, but what exactly it was... he was a little unclear.

Now I heard that this waitress was actually able to contact human language from Lianna...

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhou Xiangnan slowly shook his head: "No need for the time being."

Although this hall is full of mechanical warriors, and the Simba people have also expressed their surrender and accepted humans as their masters, when they first arrived, their safety always came first.

The waitress understood, and immediately bowed slightly, walked a few steps backward, then turned around to return to her seat.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Xiangnan stopped her.

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Nina."

"Um...Nina, wait a minute, put this on." Zhou Xiangnan took out a pair of headphones from his briefcase and handed it to the waitress: "Then I'll have someone contact you."

Although Nina didn't know what was going on, as a waiter, she knew that obedience was her first duty, so she quickly took a pair of headphones and hung them on her ears.

Here Zhou Xiangnan took out his mobile phone, glanced at the city, confirmed that it was after eight o'clock in the morning earth time, and dialed Ye Ming's number.

Ten seconds after the phone rang, Ye Ming's slightly tired voice came: "So early?"

"Is eight o'clock still early?" Zhou Xiangnan chuckled: "You haven't gotten up yet, have you?"

"Oh... I didn't pay attention. I just woke up."

"Uh... I'll hurry up and tell you." Zhou Xiangnan glanced at the waitress: "I'm on Frost Star Space City now, I just arrived today."

"Well, what then?"

"Then... there is a waitress. Can you believe she can actually speak Mandarin?" Zhou Xiangnan smiled and said immediately: "I asked her where she learned it from, and she said she learned it from a female Imperial woman named Lianna. That’s what I learned.”

On the phone, Ye Ming was silent for two seconds, and his voice immediately became energetic: "I'll ask her."

A flash of pride flashed across Zhou Xiangnan's face - he knew that Ye Ming paid close attention to that Liana.

"Okay, I connected the channel to the headphones, you can just ask her directly."

…

Ye Ming lay on the bed with his eyes closed, listening to the timid greetings coming from his ears, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Your name is Nina, right."

"Yes."

"Liana, how long have you lived here, and how did you know her? Who else is around her?"

"She has lived here for a few months. I am her waiter. She also has a secretary named Miss Gloria."

"Um……"

Ye Ming hummed and his pupils shrank slightly.

"Can you tell me how well Miss Gloria and Liana get along, and what kind of...emperor is Liana?"

After a pause, Ye Ming added: "I need you to tell me everything you know about Liana and her secretary, and everything you know about all the imperial people in the base."

The person on the other end of the phone was breathing visibly faster, and then fell into a brief silence and uneasiness.

Ye Ming smiled slightly and said gently: "Don't worry, the imperial people will not come back."

"Okay...Sir, I promise you."

On the phone, the waitress named Nina answered softly.
