Chapter 52: Internal Contradictions
(I suddenly found that this volume confused the M-type and K-type star fields, and specially corrected all the bugs in the front of this volume.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½)
Although the hidden truth has been unearthed from Foers's memory, it is unknown how many of these teenagers are currently around 15 years old, as the researchers have not mentioned the details of the other second-generation GMP Kerry-Rond from beginning to end.
The age of 15 is considered a minor under the current laws of various countries, and it is forbidden to work, let alone join the army. However, in the history of mankind, there are many cases of joining the army at the age of 14, and in the years of war, it is already a common thing in countries that are desperate for military force.
Naturally, a few big countries do not dare to do such inhumane things, but the fact that others dare not does not mean that they do not dare. They all dared to risk the world's condemnation and activate the two taboos of human genetically modified organisms and the Krons at the same time, how could they care about letting those GMP people who were originally going to be pushed to the battlefield as combat weapons join the army as soon as possible.
If Foers's life was a tragedy from the beginning as a test subject, then in fact, the "mass-produced" GMP people were no better, and it was no less tragic - the tragedy of being a humanoid weapon......
The unfortunate fate of the GMP people made Fengyu angry. If he used to think that the gmp people were dangerous and had to be controlled, now his mind has changed - the gmp people are pitiful and must be helped to free them!
Before the recombination of Foers's memory fragments, the "Tempest" had been sailing in a counterclockwise direction for three days, and if it weren't for his high IQ of 160, the average person really couldn't have completed the sorting of 15 years of memories in just three days. As Foers himself put it, the amount of work is about the same as writing a memoir.
For the Tempest, which has the ability to jump at 1,500 times the speed of light, it is only a 10-day voyage to the first target field 40 light-years away.
According to a newly popular unit of range measurement in the past two years, the speed of the "Tempest" is 1.4 LYPD, and the speed of mainstream warships with normal replacement of third-generation jump engines is 1.3 LYPD, while the speed of most civilian airships using second-generation jump engines is only 0.5-0.8 LYPD.
lypd stands for light-year-per-day. This unit of measurement is preceded by the decimal point by orders of magnitude, and after the decimal point is multiples. For example, a civilian spacecraft with a speed of 200 times the speed of light has a daily range of less than one light year, an order of magnitude of 0, and a multiple of 5.5, that is, 0.55 LYPD; while the "Tempest" has a daily range of nearly 4 light years, an order of magnitude of 1, and a multiple of 4, that is, a LYPD of 1.4; and when the ship's speed exceeds 3,650 times the speed of light, it can sail more than 10 light years per day, and the order of magnitude is 2, and the multiple of 1 is 2.1 LYPD. And so on, just 2 to 3 numbers would be a good way to classify the sailing capabilities of all current ships.
As for why the voyage is calculated in days, it is still related to human living habits. For the human race born on the surface of the earth, thousands of years of civilization have been accustomed to watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west every day, whether it is the year, month, week, or the detailed hours, minutes, and seconds, in essence, they are all measured by the sky as the basic unit.
Even if human beings have developed extragalactic galaxies and have been able to fly hundreds of light-years out of the Milky Way, they still can't get rid of the basic cycle of life in their bones.
Therefore, since its birth, LYPD has become everyone's favorite range unit. In the past, people who took interstellar flights saw that the ship registration information showed hundreds of times the speed of light, and then they needed to calculate the time it would take to reach their destination.
For example, if you take a flight 200 times the speed of light to a place 40 light years away, the equation is 40 light years x 365 days / 200 times the speed of light = 73 days, basically except for Furs, who has an IQ of 160, it is difficult for normal people to accurately calculate the answer without a calculator.
Now that we know that the "Tempest" is a 1.4 LYPD, it only takes 40 light years / 4 times = 10 days to calculate the number of flight days, which is simple and straightforward.
Of course, it is only a small problem for civilians to calculate the number of days, but what matters is the military significance of the LYPD range unit. In addition to being used to calculate the range, it has become an important criterion for distinguishing the generation difference of warships.
As the highest-ranking battleship in the LYPD at the moment, the "Tempest" quickly sailed through the hinterland of the UAC Federation, and arrived at the first K-type star field that needed to be investigated 10 days later.
This K-shaped star field is a bit different from what Falls originally described, but the owner of this star field is the Soros consortium, which happens to be one of the core members of NO, so the intelligence agents of the Awa-Ker New American System have included it in the scope of investigation.
First, because this star field is relatively close to the next target, and there is only one day's voyage, and it will not take most of the time for the "Tempest" to investigate by the way. Second, the Awakened informants don't trust the GMP man Falls, and don't believe that he can really find NO's lab by calculation.
Insiders in the New Americas, including Captain Morgan himself, prefer to believe what information they already have about members of the NO. Even when the Tempest had entered the New American Galaxy, they were still investigating all the star fields associated with NO on the other line in their own way.
For this, the liaison sent by Captain Morgan had privately greeted Fengyu, after all, he was the military leader of this operation, and he had the right to know the dynamics of the intelligence system.
Feng Yu can't blame Captain Morgan for this, the other party is also an awa-ker director, and he is also a veteran driver who has worked in the intelligence system for decades, and has his own ideas and style. Even Edward, the chairman of the board, would not interfere too much in the field that the old man was responsible for, let alone Fengyu.
However, Fengyu and Furs have gotten along for a while, and they have more or less developed feelings between partners, and I also hope that this GMP person can find the GMP project laboratory as soon as possible, make a name for himself, and stop being discriminated against and hostile by the awakened.
When the Tempest arrived in the K-shaped field, all of the command staff on duty were gathered on the bridge, including the New American liaison officer. When the destroyer passed through the layers of the Kuiper Belt and entered the inner airspace of the star field, the orange-yellow light of the K-shaped star was directly presented to everyone through optical sensor sampling.
Seeing this scene, Fols immediately gave a negative answer, "No! I didn't even have to go to the Space City location to see it, this K-type star was darker in color, close to an M-type star, and it was obviously not where I left it in the first place. ā
In the age of the universe, distinguishing between stellar spectra has been a basic common sense for people who have been traveling between stars for many years. The stellar spectrum is sorted by o, b, a, f, g, k, and m, and the main star fields of human activities are concentrated in g, k, and m. Using the Sun's G2V as a reference, K-type stars range from 40% of K0 to 16% of K5, and then 6.3% of M0-type stars. As long as you have been to more places in space, these can be distinguished by the naked eye.
Based on the habit of originating from the earth, the simulation lighting system of all space cities is currently based on the G2V spectrum. At that time, the star in the field where Fells was located was 30% brighter than Space City, and it was obviously a K1 star. And now that the first target assigned to them by the Awa-Ker New American intelligence agent was a K5-type star, it was no wonder that Falls could see that something was wrong at a glance.
Hearing this, Feng Yu glanced at the special liaison officer standing beside him, and told the other party silently, "Your little trick doesn't work." ā
The special liaison officer spread his hands in embarrassment, indicating his innocence.
However, Fengyu naturally didn't tell Fols the truth, but made up a reasonable reason, "That's right, our intelligence officers found that the location of this star field is relatively close to the zone, and there are Pfizer agencies here, so let's stop by and take a look." ā
For Fengyu's words, Furs naturally believed it, but Monica looked at him and the special liaison with a suspicious expression, obviously sensing that something was wrong. As Fengyu's exclusive intelligence officer, there was no reason why she shouldn't know about it.
She walked to the side, called up the route map of the voyage, and quickly discovered the problem. The three-star sky map provided by the Awa-Ker New American Intelligence Department did not indicate the spectral type of this K-type star field, which is obviously a trick.
She walked back, trying to ask her immediate boss and the special liaison officer for an explanation, but Fengyu shook his head at her and nodded in the direction of Falls, signaling her not to question the matter at this time.
As an intelligence officer, Monica is naturally an expert in observing words and colors, and when she sees this, she can only suppress the doubts in her heart, and wait until the fact to ask Fengyu for clarification.
Furles's conclusion was a general disappointment to the Tempest's think tank, who knew that the difference between a K1 star and a K5 star might not be clear from a distance, but once inside the stellar domain, anyone who is not blind will not be mistaken.
Fengyu didn't want this incident to become the fuse of the internal contradictions of the "Storm", so he asked Luo Yunxi to use his "reconnaissance" ability to investigate one of the "suspicious" space cities, so that he could play a full set of tricks and leave no flaws.
By the time Fengyu and Monica got off work and were about to leave the bridge and return to the rest pod, Monica was already waiting there with a stiff face.
Forth leaned over and took her hand, "Let's go, let's have dinner together." ā
Monica looked at her innocent boyfriend and sighed, "You go eat first, I still have some work matters to talk to the boss." ā
Furs nodded, "Then I'll wait for you in the restaurant." ā
The three of them watched the gmp man disappear around the corner of the passage, and without waiting for Monica to ask, Fengyu took the initiative to whisper, "Don't pursue this matter, there is no benefit." You're an intelligence officer, and you've seen the situation in the headquarters, and this time it's a small test arranged for Forth by the Awakened of the New American Galaxy. It's good that we know it, and it won't do him any good if we really pursue it. ā
