Future Crystal Crown

A few minutes later, the face of the trapped fleet commander appeared on the screen again.

This time without him talking, everyone already knows the answer.

Because he was still alive, and being alive already explained everything.

Qiu deserves to be No.1 in the TV competition. At the critical moment, his answer proved his strength.All doubts about his ability were shattered in this answer.

"Rear Admiral Rogge, on behalf of all the officers and men of the fleet, I sincerely thank you for your timely and effective help. Oh, I forgot to ask the person in your department who gave us advice just now..." I wanted to say the rank, but why didn't I seem to see it? "Can you tell me his name?"

"Very happy, Lieutenant Colonel Horn, his name is Chukuk, second lieutenant officer." Roger's voice was clear and smooth, and it was so pleasant to hear.

"Okay, I remember his name. Please convey my thanks to Lieutenant Cook for me. We followed his advice to implement foam isolation and found it very effective. The situation is now under control and the creatures have left us ships and did not attack again. We are temporarily safe."

"It's safe, oh, great. They're safe..."

Following Lieutenant Colonel Sighorn's brief introduction, everyone on the Helios Fleet breathed a sigh of relief.

For soldiers, there is nothing more inspiring in this world than seeing a comrade-in-arms come out of danger with the help of a miracle.People expressed their congratulations and condolences to each other in their own ways.

Qiu, who had been waiting in front of the screen, finally breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, this time the question was answered correctly again.I didn't feel particularly proud, I just felt that my body was icy cold. I looked down and realized that I had only taken half of the bath, and my body was full of foam... all dried up.

He hurriedly turned his head and drilled into the bathroom, but the communicator rang again.

"Qiu, come to the flagship after taking a shower." It was the elder brother Fei Lin who personally ordered.

"Yes, sir." Qiu's little heart was pounding with excitement.

Go to the flagship, my brother called.

Did you not embarrass him this time?Hmm... can the disfigurement be ignored?

He washed himself as quickly as possible like a carrot, put on the military uniform that came out of the automatic washing and ironing machine, combed his hair in front of the mirror, and went straight to the cabin door with the fragrant mound.

This time it was Boss Jack who personally connected him.As an expression of love, the connecting location is very close to the bridge, and it is on the same floor, so there is no need to walk through a long aisle before going upstairs.

Feilin's attendant was already waiting opposite, and after opening the door, he greeted Qiu with a smile.

"Second Lieutenant, please follow me. The officer is waiting for you in the meeting room."

"Well, good." Qiu nodded meekly.

My brother's attendants are all majors, and their ranks are much higher than him.

Qiu followed the attendant through the gates and came to the door of a meeting room.Through the glass curtain wall, it can be seen that this meeting room is much larger than the one I have been to before, with a long table in the middle, which is a standard meeting place.

Standing at the door waiting to swipe his card to enter, Qiu was slapped on the back of the head suddenly.

Looking back, it was Brother Philip.

"Stupid Qiu, shit luck, you've fooled me again." Feili smiled evilly and stood behind Qiu.

It is the greatest affirmation that Fili, who has never been good at speaking, can say such words.

Qiu felt a long-lost sense of intimacy.

When I was a kid, my brothers liked to bully him every weekend when they came back from school.Although all kinds of head-beating actions made him very painful, he missed the feeling of no distance very much, that is the intimacy that only family members can have.No matter how painful it is for Brother Fei Li, it is still beautiful.

"Come in, don't make people wait." Brother Feilin also walked over, with a strong military style in his gestures.The tailor-made uniform of the fleet commander makes people feel solemn and sacred when worn on him.Especially the captain's badge on the chest, the exquisite ship shape made of rare and precious metals, as if hanging the brightest star in the sky there.

"Yes, brother...sir." Qiu agreed and hurried into the house.

After entering the house, I realized that there is not only one captain, but the entire room is full of captains!

In the fleet, the frigates, destroyers, supply ships and other captains, there were three to 40 people gathered together, and the captain's badges on the chest were row upon row, almost blinding Qiu's eyes.

"Second Lieutenant, you are welcome to attend today's captain's meeting." Roger smiled slightly.

"Wow..." I don't know who applauded first, everyone in the meeting room started applauding.The sudden and enthusiastic applause made Qiu feel at a loss for a moment, and his face turned red.

"Good job, lad."

"You have made a meritorious service today."

"As expected of a member of our fleet, good job."

……

The captains who come and go with knives and fire are all sharp-eyed characters.No little thing can escape their eyes and ears.They appreciated Qiu's feat, and at the same time, the applause was not only for Qiu. Major General Rogge, who had a keen eye, and Commander Filmin, who cultivated his younger brother with all his heart, also won their praise.

Fei Lin and Fei Li smiled and took their seats.Leaving Qiu standing alone on the front platform, on the screen behind him, the image of the steel bug has already been displayed, which will be the theme of today's meeting.

"Qiu, we are on our way to the accident site. We will arrive there in a few hours. Now I need you to tell us the details about the steel bug, besides the water screen isolation, what else do you know? Roger asked the major general.

"Hmm..." Qiu thought deeply.He conjectured the water curtain to control the enemy based on inferences, and after implementing it, he also thought about it along this line of thought. At the same time, he also urgently searched for some key information.

"It is impossible for a bio-energy field of this intensity to work continuously. I speculate that the steel bugs should start their energy sources intermittently, rather than continuously maintaining a high-energy release state. When they are in a state of low energy, relatively It is said to be safe. But whether this is the case or not needs further investigation.”

"Very good." Roger nodded. "They just hit our fleet, and I expect them to be in a low energy period when we arrive."

Many people nodded in agreement.Relying on a water curtain alone for protection always feels too thin. It would be great if bugs could hibernate.

"Yu, do you think they respond to the shock?" Roger continued.

Qiu thought for a moment. "It's hard to say. But generally high-energy matter is not very stable, and vibrations are likely to excite them."

"What about the strong vibration?" Roger asked. "Will it blow them up?"

Qiu was slightly startled.Is it going to blow up that planet to destroy them?

Roger noticed Qiu's expression, and waved his hand slightly to signal him not to be nervous. "Let's discuss this issue again, Qiu, let's come back to talk about steel bugs. You have introduced their characteristics. According to their characteristics, they should not appear in areas where humans often move, is that right?" Roger asked.

"Yes." Qiu nodded.

"That star field is our regular cruise route, and our fleet has been there many times before. This line has always been safe, and no similar dangerous creatures have been found. Moreover, as far as I know, there is no High-energy stars. Then why do they appear there? If they are not locally generated, where did they come from?" Major General Rogge frowned slightly.

His concern is not unreasonable. If these extremely dangerous species can suddenly be anywhere and invade human aircraft at any time, then the safety of interstellar navigation is at stake.If they can migrate to the vicinity of planets densely inhabited by humans, the consequences will be disastrous.

Qiu looked at Rogge. In fact, this was the question he had been thinking about just now.

If there were no conditions for steel bugs to survive, how could they suddenly appear here?Local evolution requires time and conditions, which is obviously not true.What if it came drifting with the interstellar monsoon?Where are their birthplaces?What kind of monsoons can facilitate their migration?

"According to the data, steel bugs appeared in large numbers hundreds of years ago. At that time, human flying machines were still very backward, and it can be said that they were helpless. The only thing we could do was to draw a quarantine area to avoid them from a distance. Later this All of these creatures suddenly disappeared, and have never been found since. I think this behavior is very similar to a problem with the folding space." Yau looked at Rogge.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the meeting room felt a "thud".

Folding space is the ultimate use of space by human beings.

Compressing and folding some space like paper can save a lot of time for interstellar flight.This method allows human beings to reach every corner of the universe, but it also leaves hidden dangers for human beings themselves.

Because the universe is not only a four-dimensional space in which human beings live, but in addition to length, width and height, there may be other cosmic spaces or even high-dimensional spaces that overlap.Those spaces may be five-dimensional or six-dimensional.The higher the dimension, the higher the degrees of freedom.High-dimensional space can cover low-dimensional space, but low-dimensional space cannot surpass high-dimensional space.It's like a two-dimensional plane facing a three-dimensional solid. You can only be one of them, but you can't do anything beyond your dimension.

This is where the danger of space utilization lies.

Although the space folding technology has been used by humans to be foolproof.But once the human space is folded to form a loophole for some reason, or the shuttle channel is deformed or cannot be completely closed, the human universe is likely to be connected with other universes.

And what species exist in other universes, whether their spatial dimensions and coordinate characteristics will cause fatal harm to human beings, these are still in the stage of laboratory discussion.

The steel bugs that come and go without a trace were suspected to be creatures from other spaces back then, but because no evidence or even specimens have been found, human research on them is very limited.Then, they suddenly disappeared, and then, today, they suddenly appeared again.There are indications that Qiu's guess has some truth.

"If these creatures do come from the folding space, where are the loopholes? How to repair and prevent them, besides this species, are there other species that will invade the human universe through the gap of the folding space?" Rogge asked a series of questions.

However, no one has an immediate answer to such a question.Neither can Qiu.

"Sir, further judgment requires site inspection and specimen research," Qiu said.

"Yes, let's arrange the next thing now, Qiu, you go and rest." Major General Rogge gave an order.

"Yes, sir." Qiu saluted and was about to step back.

"Wait a minute." Roger suddenly remembered something. "I have activated special authority for you. You can report to the higher level and contact me directly through the communicator." Rogge's voice was clear and powerful.

"Ah? Is it okay?" Qiu was taken aback.

I am just a little second lieutenant, can I talk directly to a general-level figure?If the companions of 9708 know about this, don't be jealous to death!

"The steel bug is very dangerous, and your work is critical," Rogge instructed.

"Yes, sir." Qiu tried his best to hide his excitement.

"Your authority will remain open until I order it to be cancelled. Whenever you feel the need, or think of any information that may be useful to me, you can contact me directly. Do you understand?" the supreme officer said carefully, easy to understand.

"Yes, sir." Qiu saluted again, carefully wrote down every word of Major General Rogge, and turned to leave the meeting room.
