After the successful "Photon Jump" test, the fleet officially used "Photon Jump" as a sailing skill, increasing the average speed from 10 times the speed of light to 15 times the speed of light.

The reason why it did not rise to the limit of 20 times the speed of light is that the "photon transition" cannot be maintained for a long time and requires a rest period, so the average speed is 15 times the speed of light.

As the flagship of the fleet, the Counterattack is always in touch with the Earth.

Zhao Anya will report to the Supreme Council of the Earth every day, and at the same time warn of the possible attack of Ulysses.

"Is there any news from the Carbon-Based Alliance? Did you catch Ulysses? ”

In the evening of that day, Fang Yuan finished today's "photon jump" booster work and came to the canteen to eat.

Zhao Anya, Han Youwei, Eve, Niu Dazhi, and Ye Zheyu were already sitting together chatting and talking.

Fang Yuan took the heated lunch box, sat next to a few people, and asked casually.

"I didn't catch it, listening to the meaning of the carbon-based alliance, Ulysses should have broken through." Zhao Anya shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness.

Lang Xiaonian used his tablet to release the 3D star map and added: "Ulysses should have run from this route, from the Sagittarius spiral arm here, to the direction of the silver plate.

"The carbon-based alliance is wrapped from the Perseus spiral arm, and judging from the fact that Ulysses can reach 100 times the speed of light, it is indeed difficult for the carbon-based alliance to catch him."

The Milky Way, when viewed from above, resembles a vortex of 100 billion stars.

The center of the Milky Way galaxy is called the galactic center, and there is a galaxy composed of four stars, which rotate and spread outward around the galactic center, and these four galaxies are called spiral arms.

The sun is in one of the smaller arms of the constellation Orion.

Eve leaned over and glanced at the star map and asked, "Is it possible for Ulysses to hit Earth?" ”

This question is critical.

With Ulysses' stellar strength, he is capable of destroying human civilization with a single blow.

Not to mention Ulysses, Fang Yuan can now reproduce the disaster of the extinction of the dinosaurs with one punch, and Ulysses can do the same, and the power will only be greater.

Therefore, if Ulysses relies on the advantage of sailing speed to bypass the encirclement of the carbon-based alliance and enter the solar system, it is possible to destroy human civilization.

During this time, everyone was very worried about this matter.

Lang Xiaonian shook his head and said, "Judging from the star map, it shouldn't be possible. If Ulysses' ultimate speed is 100 times the speed of light, there is no hiding the faster speed.

"He set off from V838 Monoceros, and the carbon-based alliance came from the Perseus spiral arm.

"Well, he does have a chance to reach the solar system and destroy the Earth before the carbon-based alliance merges.

"It is indeed possible to do this, but in that case, there will definitely be a chance for the word to spread before the Earth is destroyed.

"If the carbon-based alliance comes towards Orion again, then Ulysses's 'photon jump' will probably not be able to escape no matter how fast it is.

In other words, if he wants to destroy humanity, he has to gamble his own life.

"To Ulysses, we're really just a bunch of bugs, and I don't think he's going to risk his life to kill a bunch of bugs."

"That's true, the earth should be safe, don't worry too much." Fang Yuan agreed with Lang Xiaonian's analysis.

The people continued to eat.

Fang Yuan remembered something and asked again, "Is there any news of the professor?" ”

It's been almost a month since the fleet left the Monocerosus V838.

In other words, the Academy of Human Military Sciences got the experimental data of carbon-based life soul energy a month ago.

If this technology can save Yang Yuping, there should be almost news.

If this technology can't save Yang Yuping, then when the expeditionary fleet returns to Earth, it may never see the old man who exhausted his life for civilized technology.

Therefore, in the past month, Fang Yuan wanted to ask several times, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing bad news.

Based on the voyage, there are at least two months left before returning to Earth.

If it doesn't work, it really won't be seen.

Zhao Anya stretched out his hand and patted Fang Yuan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although there is no news of the success of the experiment yet, the news I get is all preferred." The Academy of Military Sciences is already working on the experiment of reproducing the soul energy of carbon-based life, and it is progressing smoothly. I believe that it will not be long before there will be good news. ”

Fang Yuan maintained a calm smile on his face and said, "I don't know what it will be like when we meet again." ”

At this time.

Zhao Anya received a communication signal, stood up and walked to the side, had a conversation, and then with a surprised expression on her face, she walked up to Fang Yuan, suppressed her excitement and said, "Good news is coming?" ”

Fang Yuan's eyes widened sharply and asked, "Succeeded?" ”

"Go to the bridge yourself. The Supreme Council says that someone wants to talk to you. Zhao Anya smiled.

Fang Yuan didn't care so much, he jumped up and ran in the direction of the bridge.

Han Youwei, Eve, and Ye Zheyu also reacted immediately and ran along.

Niu Dazhi hesitated, looked at the lunch box in front of him, and then looked at his teammates who ran away, and finally picked up the lunch box and ran.

Fang Yuan rushed to the bridge.

On the control screen of the bridge, the communication request confirmation button is lit up.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and pressed the communication confirmation button.

The communication was connected, the big screen flashed, and a back, a robot, appeared.

The robot has some pipes and wiring plugged into it, and at first glance it looks like a laboratory product.

Fang Yuan looked at this back nervously.

After a few moments, the robot turned around and said, "I thought I'd never see each other again." ”

The moment he saw the front of this robot clearly, Fang Yuan's heart suddenly surged, with excitement, guilt, and happiness, and his mood was extremely complicated.

At the head of this robot, there is a spherical glass cabin, and there is a ball of energy in the glass cabin, and this mass of energy condenses a person's face, which is Yang Yuping.

"I have no other way but to go to the Monocarus v838." Fang Yuan wasn't sure if the old professor would resent this result.

As a human being, losing your body means losing a lot of things that you should have as a human being.

"Actually, during the last period of work, I already knew that my time was up. Don't feel like it's hurting me, I'm happy with who I am, with my energized consciousness, my mechanical limbs ......"

Yang Yuping lowered his head and moved the mechanical arm, because it was a laboratory product and was still in the debugging stage, the shell wiring was a little messy: "Such a body will not be tired, no need to rest, and will not be sick, but it will cost some electricity." ”

The power consumption of the machine shell is simply not worth mentioning.

This is clearly a joke.

"Look, I can still joke." Yang Yuping's energetic face showed a smile, and he could see the wrinkles unfolding.
