After playing around for a while, Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly asked Zhou Yang seriously: "Xiaoyang, what are you going to do after graduation?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang frowned: "I didn't submit my resume, why do I still knowingly ask?

"Yes, the boss doesn't want you on a starship? Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in confirmation.

"No, I won't accept his arrangement!" Zhou Yang frowned and refused without hesitation.

"Don't be in a hurry to be sure, don't you hear what job it is first?" Zhou Xiaozhi was about to say something, when suddenly a voice sounded from behind him.

"Dad, you're done with your work!" Zhou Yang turned around, only to see Zhou Xing standing in front of him at some point.

Zhou Xing nodded with a smile on his face, his eyes were a little complicated, the years flew by, unconsciously, it had been almost a hundred years since Zhou Yu lost contact, and his youngest son Zhou Yang had also grown up, and he never wanted Zhou Yang to follow in his brother's footsteps.

"What kind of job is Dad, and it's more interesting than interning on a starship?" Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Xing curiously and asked.

"Well, the jobs are not in the group, but in the federal government, which is guaranteed to be interesting. Zhou Xing nodded and smiled, reassuring.

Compared with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yang is not so attached to the interstellar commander, as long as the work content is interesting and novel, it can definitely attract and divert his attention.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.

As a scholar who received Zhou Xiaozhi's elite education since childhood, Zhou Yang inherited his parents' superior genes, has extensive knowledge, and has amazing knowledge, but he does not have the perseverance of his father Zhou Xing, who can conduct boring scientific research, and he is more interested in novelties, especially the universe and extraterrestrial civilizations.

Zhou Xing smiled, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered, "Xiaozhi, just explain the work information to Xiaoyang." ”

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and in an instant, a holographic screen was projected from its electronic eye, and a science fiction experimental base was displayed on the screen.

"Xiaoyang, this is the Federation's interstellar civilization exchange base, and it is a diplomatic center for human civilization and extraterrestrial civilization to form exchanges. Zhou Xiaozhi introduced to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang's eyes widened, and he looked at the holographic screen incredulously: "Let me be a diplomat of an alien civilization?"

"No, you are going to do information and increase knowledge, how about it?" Interesting, right?" Zhou Xing asked Zhou Yang with a smile on his face.

"Daddy, you won't fool me with a name, will you! We haven't reached exchanges with other civilizations, let alone established diplomatic relations. Zhou Yang frowned and looked at Zhou Xing vigilantly.

"Of course not, we are about to reach an agreement with the Mogelow civilization to establish diplomatic relations, and they may be able to introduce us to join the Galactic Alliance in the future, you will definitely not be able to do nothing. Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Yang and broke the news.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes bulged, and he looked at Zhou Xing dumbfounded: "Dad, you won't lie to me on purpose, right?"

This news is too scary, the human federal government has already contacted a high-level extraterrestrial civilization, and it is about to establish diplomatic relations.

Dare to doubt you Lao Tzu, Zhou Xing glared at Zhou Yang, and asked rhetorically: "What do you say? The direct development of human civilization has reached 50,000 light years, and nearly one-third of the 200 billion star systems in the entire galaxy have been explored, so you are 'blind' for other alien civilizations?"

It has not been a few years since human civilization entered the interstellar era, and it was at the time of exploding population, technology, and military power, when he suddenly received this news, Zhou Yang couldn't help but worry about the fate of mankind.

"No, ah, I'm just, when they found us, didn't,......。 Zhou Yangyi's timetable couldn't accept this heavy news, and he became speechless when he boarded the round.

What are extraterrestrial civilizations like? Do they have any ill will towards humans, and will civilizational wars break out if there are differences in communication?...... , all kinds of thoughts poured out of Zhou Yang's mind.

Zhou Xing waved his hand, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay! They are distracted by other things, and they can't deal with us at all." ”

Zhou Yang was slightly stunned and looked at Zhou Xing with a puzzled expression.

"Xiaoyang, the Dahl Zerg has erupted in the center of the galaxy, and we have observed no less than 30 large-scale interstellar wars so far, attracting the attention of a large number of intelligent civilizations throughout the galaxy, and our position is safe for the time being, but in the near future, we will also participate. Zhou Xing explained.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's mouth opened slightly, stunned by this sudden news!

"When did this happen? Such a big thing, why didn't you reveal it to the outside world?" Zhou Yang's eyes widened and he looked at Zhou Xing puzzled.

"The time has not yet come, it is easy to cause confusion if it is announced too early, and the federal government is arguing with the Mogeluo civilization over joining the Galactic Alliance! Do you want to get involved?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yang and asked.

"Can I do it! Such a big thing!" Zhou Yu was slightly stunned and asked without confidence.

"Let you have a long experience, you talk less and do more, you should be able to do chores!" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile.

"Dad, aren't you worried at all?" Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Xing worriedly and asked.

The sworn enemy of human civilization of the Darke Zerg, the information of this civilization has long been included in the textbooks, all mankind knows the danger of this shape species, Zhou Yang is no exception, he has been taught since he was a child, he deeply knows the horror of the Darke Zerg, so it seems that Zhou Xing's calmness falls in his eyes is a confident performance.

Zhou Xing smiled helplessly and said comfortingly: "Don't think so much, do your own things first, do you want to go?"

"Go, I'll go!" Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Xing and nodded without hesitation.

"Well, go to Professor Lem tomorrow! and he'll take you. Zhou Xing nodded and commanded.

"Dad, if war really breaks out, do we have any hope of victory?" Zhou Yang nodded, looked at Zhou Xing expectantly, and asked.

"I don't know!" Zhou Xing took a deep breath and shook his head.

However, the scale of the interstellar war that broke out in the galaxy is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure from the Galactic Alliance is increasing, leaving little time for humanity to develop technology!

I didn't expect to get this answer, and Zhou Yang didn't know what to say.

"Go find your mother! she hasn't seen you in a long time, stay at home for a few more days. Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yang, who was frowning, and ordered.

"Okay!" Zhou Yang nodded at his father and turned to leave.

Soon, after the father-son conversation, Zhou Xing continued to devote himself to the research in his hands.

The only thing Zhou Xing can do now is to do his best to develop more advanced applied technologies for human civilization before the civilization war comes.

……

Time flies, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

The project that Zhou Xing is working on has finally entered the stage of substantive experimentation.

The space experiment center covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and in the center of the experimental field sits a hemispherical instrument, which is like a 'hemispherical camera' that has been magnified hundreds of thousands of times, and the robots around it are densely packed like ants, which is very spectacular and magnificent.

The mother planet of Earth, the top of civilization in the sky city, the experimental command center, Zhou Xing, and a group of experts and professors in white scientific research uniforms stared nervously at the experimental command screen, waiting for the experimental work to be ready.

"The 'Biak Cup' has passed the third test, is it always time for Zhou to start the test?" Professor Lin Hai looked at Zhou Xing excitedly.

"Well, let's get started!" Zhou Xing looked at the big screen and instructed Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi screened, and in an instant, it conducted an experiment through the signal remote override space experiment center.

In the large screen, the huge spherical instrument suddenly activated, and the inside of the instrument 'boomed', as if a terrifying energy was about to be vented from it, but it was confined to the inside of the beam instrument.

All the scientists stared intently at the data displayed on the big screen, waiting for the results of the experiment.

With the birth of various new theories, human civilization continues to pursue the application of new science and technology, and the 'Biak Cup' is an experiment in which human scientists pursue an important technology, once a breakthrough is made, it means that human warships will enter the faster-than-light era.

With the confirmation of the theory of unification and the theory of achieving faster-than-light travel has been confirmed to be feasible, Zhou Xing has never given up the research of this important technology.

The 'Biak Cup' is a device that can create a great deal of gravity in a very small space.

After the instrument is put into operation, a trace of energy is instilled into it, and through its conversion, the energy becomes gravitational force and is emitted, and with the increase of energy, its gravitational force is gradually increasing.

"Well...... It has exceeded the gravitational pull of the standard star by ten times, and continues to increase the conversion power. Looking at the values presented on the big screen, Zhou Xing gave an order to Zhou Xiaozhi with a calm face.

The gravitational source created by this 'Biak Cup' can only affect a small space, such as a miniature black hole, its total mass is even only the size of an atom, such a black hole, its strong gravitational pull can only be felt at a scale of a few femtometers away from it, and its existence will not be detected when it is expanded to even one centimeter at an equal distance.

Now the strength of this gravitational source is equivalent to the gravitational pull of white dwarf material, but its gravitational pull can only exert its power on extremely close scales, and it cannot even exert a slight effect on the glass wall half a meter away.

With this gravitational intensity, it is already known from the data that there is a slight observable distortion in space around this gravitational source, which is like air above a fire.

The 'Biak Cup' is subjected to extremely high pressure, and it continues to increase the transmission of energy, so the strength of this gravitational source is getting higher and higher, but no matter how powerful it is, its range of influence can never exceed 50 centimeters.

"The gravitational strength of the neutron star unit has been reached inside. Professor Lin Hai looked at the big screen and said in a trembling voice.

The effect of this gravitational source is similar to that of a few cubic nanometers of neutron star matter here, because the total mass is so small that it is impossible for them to affect distant objects, and because of the extremely high density, they can even cause extremely noticeable distortions in space in the vicinity of them.

"Go on, don't stop!" Zhou Xing's face was calm, and he continued to instruct Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Understood, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded and immediately continued to increase the energy supply.

"Control the gravitational strength on the other side. Zhou Xing stared at the monitoring data on the big screen and continued to give orders to Zhou Xiaozhi.

"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded.

In the next second, Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly reported loudly: "Boss, the detector has found that the particle deflection phenomenon is extremely fast, and the instantaneous deflection speed is 3.7 times the speed of light. ”

"Quick, quickly display the monitoring data!" Zhou Xing was shocked and ordered loudly.

Zhou Xiaozhi complied with the order, and immediately, a large piece of experimental data information was presented on the big screen.

The eyes of all the scientists were convex, staring at the experimental data on the big screen, and quickly proofreading.

"Ahh,......!h

"The gravitational strength value is correct, the force field energy value is correct, yes, all right, the data is right!"

"The particle ball has disappeared and broken through the vacuum binding! The experiment has been successful! Haha!"

……

The researchers staring at the big screen suddenly cheered one after another, and the experimental data corresponded with the speculative data one by one, indicating that this was a successful experiment.

"No! There is a set of data that is wrong, the theoretical offset is exceeded, what changes have occurred in the process of disappearance? How can this phenomenon occur?" Professor Lin Hai suddenly exclaimed amid cheers.

Hearing this, all the scientists were silent, their brows furrowed.

The phenomenon of theoretical offset exceeding is as if a bullet with a diameter of one centimeter penetrates a piece of glass, but the diameter of the hole in the glass is only 0.8 centimeters. At this time, the question arises, since the area of the hole is smaller than the area of the impactor, how does it pass through?

After thinking for a long time to no avail, all the scientists looked at Zhou Xing, expecting to get answers from him.

"Matter depends on space to exist, so the moment a species passes through space, space is also affected by gravitational bending, and it becomes bent, which is why this phenomenon is caused. Zhou Xing was in high spirits and looked at everyone and explained.

That's right, that's it.

The eyes of all the scientists lit up, and this is the best explanation for this phenomenon of excessive experimental deviation.

If you think of space as a piece of paper with elasticity, stretching or squeezing it or making it wrinkle is equivalent to space distortion, then in the case of the paper with folds, cut a circle on it, and when it is flattened, the circle will no longer be a circle, but will become an irregular, curved shape.

This is the prototype of faster-than-light navigation - a curvature-driven engine.

In the absence of a 'space-time wormhole' for shuttle flight, the use of curvature-driven engines would be the most efficient solution for human cross-galaxy travel.
